DEPT. , : : 1 ! i Many Persons Shared In Developing Auto While the chronology of automo tive developments stems from hazy, almost legendary, writings, the real beginnings may be said to lie in a patent granted to Oliver Evans for a self-propelled road vehicle In 1789 and. in Robert William Thompson's British patent on a pneumatic tire in 184S. Many steam, electric, treadle-operated and other types of vehicles have appeared since. An engine using gunpowder for fuel was made to operate, but lt was too dangerous to become popular. The track-layer, or caterpillar type of tractor, made its bow in 1844. No one person or single corporate group can be credited with the de velopment of the automobile as known today. It has been f. gradual process, with many persons in dif ferent countries sharing in the re search destined to bring about the epoch on vheels of the 20th century. Although France led in initiating tests and experiments In the earlier days, America was from the first the leader in production. The industry got a healthy start In this country about 1900, with pro duction during that year of around 4,000 cars, and with 'managerial and organization talent quickly gravitating to this new and promis ing enterprise from many long established industries. American automobile builders contributed many improvements, but the two most important aspects of the In dustry which developed here early in the century were mass produc tion, based on the assembly line principle, and the standardization of parts. Set Out Bulbs Early To Assure Good Growth If you're a lover of spring-flowering bulbs, like hyacinths, tulips, paper-white narcissus, Chinese sacred lily and daffodils, successful growth requires that you set them out early, and keep them in a cool place until the root system has developed well. Forty degrees Fahrenheit is not too cool for a beginning. When the ropt system has devel oped, place them in a slightly warm er place until growth starts. Then give them a little more heat, a tem perature of 50 to 60 degrees Is about warm enough. The point is that if you keep them too warm, flower stems and leaves grow tall and weak and require support. There's the question of whether bulbs will grow in water without soil. The authorities say yes if your bulbs are the Chinese sacred lily, paper-white narcissus or hyacinths. These may be grown in wide mouthed bottles or jars. In which they just fit, or they may be sup ported in fhallow dishes by stones or sand. Remember to keep these cool at first too. Finally, keep your bulbs in as much light as possible when they start to flower. And in the spring, you can set your bulbs outside, as soon as danger of frost is past. Rat Bait Use poison baits prepared of grain products, milk, waste meat, etc., for rats. Red squill is effective and is not dangerous to use because it will not kill other animals. Very good results have been reported by many farmers from use of the ready-mixed red squill rat bait prepared by the federal fish and wildlife service. If home-mixed baits are to be used, it is a good idea to pre-bait the grounds and buildings with unpoisoned bait ma terials first. Place such materials in small quantities (teaspoonfuls) around rat feeding places. Baits not eaten should be picked up each morning. This will soon show what bait materials the rats like best Then the poison can be added to the mixture and a complete poisoning job accomplished if the entire grounds and buildings are treated at the same time. Plant Disease Some plant diseases, specially virus diseases, live over the win ter on perennial weeds near the gar den. These virus diseases then spread to vegetables In the garden the following year. Continued erad ication of such weeds as pokeberry, milkweed, ground cherry, horse net tle and mint, around the garden site will help prevent the spread of sev eral diseases from the weeds to the garden vegetables. Several insect pests also overwinter on plant refuse left in the garden and In weeds and trash surrounding the garden plot.. Cleaning up the garden plot, and burning the weeds and trash sur rounding the garden plot will do much to reduce your insect problem next year. Also, you will reduce your disease problem by so doing as insects spread many diseases. Collard Nutritious Riboflavin is one of the important health-giving vitamins needed in the diet and generous supplies are found in the collard. When research men ef experiment stations exam ined the collard for its riboflavin content, lt was found to be twice as great as in milk, on a compara ble bails. They also found the col lard to be rich in carotene, the pro vitamin A. They pointed out, how ever, that toe fresher the collard, the greater its vitamin content In ether words, get the collard in the pot as quickly as possible and do not cook lt too long. Fowl Vaccination Poultrymen are advised that the best age at which to vaccinate gainst the fowl pex disease is wbea the birds are between 12 and If weeks old, The Calm Most Successfu , Br CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Pk.D. AT A number of times, in this column, I have stated that if the tot is skillfully trained to respect the word No in relation to the common acts he clearly knows he should avoid, we parents ought to be able to employ this monosyl lable when necessary, with desir able effect, in new and unexpected situations as mere information un accompanied by inner heat. Also, I have often urged tint we carefully draw the line between what the young child shall never do in our presence nd, what we want him to do, saying No wilh finality for the former and merely requesting, as a rule, for the latter (routine excepted); that, more over, we should treat the response of a child of any age to onr request about as if ha were guest. Bodily Appeal However, I have pointed out that, even in routines, we may have to pick up the tot bodily and take him certain places as to bed, once our persuasion failed, though we rarely would spank him to make him go. Furthermore, I have said that although the young ster over five or six may be won, by persuasion to do most things we desire him to do, he may some times need coercion am', has suf ficient experience to profit from punishment to make him do a few things required of him. In addition, I have urged re peatedly that the youngster learn self-reliance and responsibility, that he be expected to wait on him self so far as he is able and be required to do some regular jobs about the home which he, normal ly, would rather not do. (My bul letin, "How to Teach Child to Help YOU'RE TELLING ME! By WILLIAM RUT - SAUERKRAUT CENTER has decided to have a baseball team again. This makes every body in the Alfalfa league happy for now last place In that sorghum circuit has been taken care of.

Our Quota is $3,575 MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL DONATION THIS WEEK-END First Mother at Hume," may be had ni a stamped envelope). Think of all the children, even as old as ten or twelve, whose hands and faces are scrubbed and hair combed every school morning by their mothers. Most mothers know the child should wait on him self but have not found a way to make him do so. They ara sure the youngster goes to school respect ably neat and clean when they wash, comb and dress him with their own hands. Consider the irritations when the mother tries to make this child prepare himself properly for school. In sheer desperation, she angvily may seize him and scrub vigorously. Nevertheless, one parent out of a hundred may be so poised, hav ing established due respect for her word in the youngster, as to han dle such matters wisely. If neces sary, she may personally super vise him as he brushes his teeth and tidies himself for school. Or, she may just inspect him before he may leave for school. If he does not "pass Inspection," she merely gives this information in a mod erate tone in the fewest possible words. No matter how often she must "repeat", her voice does not rise. She merely uses it for information. Because this mother is so calm and her word so dependable, the youngster soon discovers there is no advantage to him to whine ob jection. He soon conforms to the inevitable. We do envy the marvelous achievement of this mother. Her ways seem worthy of emulation by all other mothers who can real ly discipline themselves. Here is a good siogan for us parents: Give commands in low temperature and information without inflammation. Sauerkraut Center team.
