Arkomat " I Let's Review Education, or the lack of It, gets blamad for about all the world's ills. It is pretty generally agreed that the peoples of Earth need teaching, or perhaps re-teaching. Moreover it is not much trouble in any com pany to start a free-for-all discus sion about the science of education. In fact there are some who Insist that teaching Is an art and hot a science at all. Some commentators crusade for penetrating study in narrow fields of learning while others whoop-lt-up for wider browsing ranges. Both philosophies can be run to ex tremes. Over done, specialization gets people in ruts while versatility, gone wild, leads men's minds a wool-gathering. Surely there is a happy medium, seeing that both extremes are selfish and quite short-sighted. wui to study Schooling actually does not help people much unless It makes better neighbors of them. It should, by all means, train them to engage In activities with other people, for the benefit of all. Today this Is clearly the most esseatlal feature of edu cation because people who don't un derstand co-operation are being led by the nose straight through collec tivism to dictatorship. George William Curtis once wrote: "While good men sit at home, not knowing that there's any thing to be done, nor caring to know, half persuaded that this re public is the contemptible rule of a mob and secretly longing for some splendid and vigorous despotism, . . . remember that it is not a gov ernment mastered by ignorance; it is a government betrayed by intel ligence." Betrayed by What? We have a sad state of affairs indeed when intelligent people real ize that things are taking place which they suspect are very bad for the country, yet fail to take a hand in remedying matters. Pre serving the personal liberty of all people ought to be every man's per sonal duty. Those who have been without freedom consider its safe ty a high moral obligation. Some men have deep learning in fields that do not embrace history, government or economics. Others have gained far-flung knowledge without sensing the duties of citizen ship or any obligation toward other people. Curtis' long life ended be fore this century began but he saw the political dangers of this day with amazing clearness: "Betrayed by intelligence," he said. Time Fades Facts The notion that a nation may be governed, not by a ruler but by the people themselves, was not raw new in Mr. Curtis' time. Our own republic was hardly half as old as now when he began writing for "Harper's Monthly." Otherwise he had all the examples we have. One big difference in his generation and ours la this: They still appreciat ed their freedom. Students would not be helped much now by a smattering of more arts. Neither is there a crying need for more specialization. Consoli dating our recent scientific gains and preserving our freedom is our No. 1 problem. Our vital classroom need Is a refresher course in com parative welfare. Where and under what system have the most people lived the best lives? Answer: We have it, right here in the U. S. A. Water and Air Needed For Plant Development Veteran gardeners have long practiced the maxim: Give a plant (or a garden) a drink when It's dry. In other wordi, do not keep the aoll wet, but let It get thirsty between drinks. In a lecture to florists. Dr. J. Boyd Page of Ohio State univer sity gave a scientific view of the problem ol watering, which In dorsed this old gardener's maxim. A good soil holds both water and air at the same time, he said. These are held In spaces between the soil particles, called "pores." When there is an excess of water, air la driven out, and the plants suffer for lack of it. This occurs In gardens when water stands on the surface; and is the reason why quick drain age of excess water Is so Important. Lack of water, on the other hand, la .also harmful to the plants. A balance between air and water must be maintained. A plant will make the best root growth, said Dr. Page, when it is drying the soil down. When the soil Is soaked, and the excess drains away quickly, fresh air enters the soil to take the place of the water. The roots reach out for water as the supply dimin ishes, and vigorous growth results. Oyer cooking Danger in Preparing Frozen Food* Overcooking U (till the moit com mon error consumer* make In the preparation of frozen food* for ta ble use, home economists say. Cooked frozen vegetables as they are served at the table may con tain practically the same amount of : nutritive value as similar cooked fresh vegetables. But the extent to which the nutritive values ar* re tained depends upon the care the frozen product receives from the time the seed Is chosen until the harvested, frozen vegetable is served. Freezing alone causes no loss of vitamin C, but the vitamin may be lost during blanching and subse quent cooling. During cooking, the largest losses of vitamin C and all the B group vitamins are through solution in cooking water. As the amount of water in which the vege table Is cooked is Increased, the amount of vitamins B and C de creases In the vegetable itself and Increases in the cooking water. Whether the cooking pot is alumi num, glass or some other material has been found to make no dif ference in the amount of vitamin C that remains in any cooked vegeta ble. Nor does it make any dif ference whether the pan Is covered or uncovered. The important factor is that there be as little water as possible at the end of the cooking period. Sheep Suffer Vitamin Lots in Selenium Areas Sheep which graze on plants growing in seleniferous areas may starve to death because of a vita min deficiency, claim research workers. Selenium, a soil substance, sets up an artificial deficiency of vitamins A and C when the plants are fed to sheep. Although in the experimental work the sheep were fed adequate amounts of carotene, the mother substance of vitamin A, there was a gradual decrease in the amount of the vitamin in the blood when the animals were fed regular doses of selenium. Vitamin C, which ruminants can usually manufacture within their bodies, likewise showed a decrease corresponding to the amount of selenium the animals received. Selenium-fed animals were unable to maintain enough vitamin C for their needs. Researchists attribute the vita min C deficiency to actual destruc tion of this vitamin by selenium. The vitamin A deficiency is due to the injury of liver and its Inability to utilize the carotene. Future Building Looking into trends for future building, plans will be more "open," with living areas joined into one uni fied space and rooms serving many purposes. Basementless construc tion, not commonly understood at present, will be developed for safe ty, convenience and more "above grade" living space. Larger win dows designed on the "solar" prin ciple will contribute spaciousness and cheerfulness. Women should forgo the "charm" of colonial win dows, with many small panes of glass, for more easily maintained and more beautiful plain glass. Garages will be bigger and bet ter, planned with heat, adequate windows and extra width or length to accommodate?in addition to the car?storage lockers, garden tools, outdoor playthings and workbench. Revolutionary new materials and equipment will appear gradually but should be proved satisfactory before you use them. Different Touts Home economists suggest that sliced bread that has become too hard for the table can be used to make one of several different toasts. Melba toast, served instead of soft bread at many smart restaurants and hotels, is made simply by heat ing thin slices of bread in a alow oven until they are thoroughly dry and take on extra flavor. For cin namon toast, a breakfast favorite toast slices of bread, butter lightly and sprinkle with cinnamon and su gar. French toast and cheese toast are hearty enough for main dishes. For trench toast drop the bread slices in an egg and milk mixture, then brown on both sides in a little fat in the frying pan. For cheese toast, lay slices of sharp cheese, salted and peppered, between slices of unbuttered bread. Brown the sandwiches on both sides in fat in a heavy trying pan, cooking rather slowly until the cheese melts. Radar Aids Forecasting Radar offers the weather man spectacular help, for it shows storms a hundred or more miles away and tells enough about them to reveal their natures. Early in the use of radar, it was found that variations in weather conditions could extend radar "pickup range" greatly or confuse the operator if he did not understand the relations between his set and its surroundings. Thus the wartime operation of radar has re quired a careful study of its rela tions to weather conditions. This has led not only to more satisfac tory radar operation but to a new weather analysis and forecasting technique which was developed to a high point of usefulness by the army and navy during the war and which has great peacetime poten tialities. 1 Your New Home A Radically New Type of Window Now Available for Homes * \ By W. WADSWORTH WOOD THE standard double-hung win dow most commonly in use to | day is so encumbered by the de i mands placed on it that it is in I oHpniinto nnH One nt it* functions is to pro vide a view, yet in order to prevent the neighbors from looking in we put up a shade which covers half the win dow area. Because of the shade the window must be nnana^ #rnm tha ? bottom to supply air, so that it fails to exhaust the hot air which is at the top of the room, j In the summertime, if the win dow faces the sun, we close the drapes to prevent the sun from heating the room and fading the rugs and upholstery; therefore we ! must shut the window to keep the wind from blowing the drapes and knocking over the vases. The ap pearance of the window is spoiled in summer by a screen to keep out bugs, in winter by a storm window to conserve heat. It can be seen that the conventional window is a mass of contradictions. Glass, when first made, was formed in small pieces called "bulls-eyes," and these were fas tened together by means of lead strips, making a larger window of small segments. With the improve ment in glass making the panes be came larger, through the colonial 12-inch sash to the single-pane sash in use at the beginning of this cen tury. There the Improvement in window design for home use large ly rested. Developments of the past few years, however, promise to rev olutionize the use of glass in the home. In accordance with the current idea of functionalizlng the parts of the home toward better living, let us examine the window in its bas ic aspects. The standard window performs three duties: It lets in light, it provides a view of the out doors, and it furnishes ventilation. Common sense tells us that if we separate the ventilation function from the others, we eliminate most of these problems of the double hung window. Suppose, for example, that we at tach the window solidly in its frame as a permanent part of the wall. Fresh air can then be provided by means of louvers, located above and below the window, or in another part of the room entirely. The screens would then be a part of the louver assembly, ventilation could easily be controlled by the use of a switch, and curtains could regu late the amount of light without in terfering with ventilation in the slightest degree. The new developments in manu facture of glass in large flawless sheets, combining these sheets in a double pane, and hermetically seal ing the air pocket between them, today provides us with a perfect weatherproof window for maximum light and vision?the "picture win dow." Instead of the hedged-ln, gloomy rooms of the past, today's modern home can have an entire sweep of glass wall-space that brings the outdoors inside. Another window treatment in volves the use of large sliding glass doors of double or triple thickness, hermetically sealed for insulation. Perfection of multiple glazing and weathertight tracks make possible the use of such doors for large areas across the side of a room. Gone is the old idea of a window being a hole punched in a wall?we are on the threshold of the ultimate in spaciousness and abundant light.

All that's needed is two card boards cut to At Inside the tie, sev eral layers of old blanket or outing Aannel to put between them and some padding for the outside. Then cover the whole with very smooth material ? an old rayon slip will do?to permit the pad to slide eas ily into the tie. The use of this pad avoids an undesirable sharp crease along the tie's edge. Always use a press cloth for wool or rayon ties to prevent an unseemly shine. Tropical sad Marias Otis The outstanding development In the supply of the world's fats and oils during the IS years be fees the war was a tremendous expansion In the production of tropical and ma rine oils. That expansion in tropical oils came as a result of farming methods ? car* and fertilizer, the management to growing coconut and oil palm trees In groves under a plantation system. The expansion in marine oils came from tha devel opment of the factory whaling ship and the developing of new processes that make it possible to use whale oil on a large scale for margarine, shortening and other purposes. , Canty Its tea 1 Illinois was the largest candy-pro- . ducing state in the Union in IMS. More than one-quarter of all sweets 1 produced came from the Prairie State. Other confectlonery-produo- J ing leaders were Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts.

S. Bombings Helped Pare Jap Steel Output Production of steel In the Japa nese empire during the war /ears reached a peak in 1943. Thereafter, as a result of the aaval blockade and of bombings, it declined stead ily. According to a report of non military activities in Japan and Ko rea, prepared recently at General Headquarters of the Supreme Com mander for the Allied Powers, the peak wartime production of steel ingots in the Japanese empire was 9,656,000 net tons in 1943, which was less than 11 per cent of the maxi mum annual production in the Unit ed States during the war. That 9,656,000 tons which Japan produced in the year 1943 could have been turned out by the steel mills of the United States in 38 days, at the record rate of produc tion which prevailed in the month of March, 1944. Of the total pro duced in Jap-controlled plants in 1943, about 8,616,000 tons, nine tenths of the total, was produced in plants on the home islands of Ja pan. The great steel works at Sho wa, in Manchuria, produced 921,000 tons and the remainder was pro duced at a plant in Keijiho in Korea. v Farming in Holy Land Industrial activity in Palestine has grown considerably in recent decades, along with the population, which increased from about 750,000 in 1922 to an estimated 1,675,000 in 1943. But farming is still the outstanding occupation of Palestine. Irrigation works and imported meth ods have expanded production sharply. Citrus fruits normally form the leading export crop. Oth er fruits, olives, almonds, tobacco, grains and vegetables are success fully grown. The dairy, bee-keep ing and poultry-raising industries are also expanding. The throngs of pilgrims and other visitors long pro vided a peacetime industry. In this cradle of the world's three great religions, Jerusalem, capital of Pal estine, is a holy city to Christian, Jew and Moslem. Poultry Loss Death loss of layers on farms in 1945 was 17.7 per cent compared with 18.4 per cent in 1944 and 18.1 per cent for the five-year (1939 to 1943) average.
