STIFF OF LIFE IN
HUNT COUNTRIES
Various Methods of Making
Bread Described.
Washington, D. O.—"Though bread
may pose as the pancake, the scone,
the tortilla, the carta dl muslca. and
the biscuit In various countries, get
ting the wherewithal to buy It or the
preparation of It la of necessity one
of the chief Interests of man and
wofDnn In every clime—even though
In the South sea Islands It grows on
trees,” says a bulletin from the
Washington (T>. C.) headquarters of
the National Geographic society.
"The Arab woman digs a pit In the
sand and builds a hot fire In It. Then
site rakes away the embers and plas
ter* her dough on the hot sides. When
the bread la done, she picks It off
with a pair of tongs.
"Wrapping Paper" Bread.
‘"The deliciously crisp Persian
bread which Is bought In enormous
flat pancake-like sheets sometimes 30
Inches long, Is prepared In a number
of ways, but that customarily seen
for sale In the capital city of Persia
Is baked In large ovens In which the
dough Is spread out on great piles of
red-hot pebbles. And In olden days
there was no profiteering In the staff
of life In the Persian kingdom. A
haker who left the straight and nar
row path of his Just profits was
thrust Into his own oven and nicely
browned.
“In some parts of the Arab king
dom the husbnnd does the household
marketing and after having purchased
various necessary commodities, he
then buys a large sheet of native
bread, which Is of doughlike pliabil
ity. and rolls up his purchases In it.
“The Egyptian haker makes •puff
halls.’ because he wishes to get the
largest loaf out of the smallest
amount of flour. One writer describes
It as a hole wrapped In a crust. The
dough is rolled out as thtn as a pie
crust and the edges of two pieces
joined all around; the heat does the
rest.
In Norway "Bread Hangs High."
"The Ecuadorean woman follows a
very Interesting old custom. She
hakes bread In the shape of people
and animals for All Saints day.
“The Sardinian housewife has a big I
baking day once pvery week. Flour la
kneaded In large earthenware bowls |
and rolled very thin on a table that is
so low that the cook must kneel he- j
fore It. Nearly every home has Its own
flour mill made of black lava and
fashioned almost like those unearthed
at Pompeii and Herculaneum. The
woman performs the whole process of
cleaning and grinding the wheat, sift j
Ing the flour, and haklng the bread.;
She uses very little yeast and her j
baking must be done to a turn be
cause the supply must last for a
weak. The large thin circular pieces
are called 'carta di muslca.' meaning
paper to write music on.
“The well-known flat-bread of the
Norwegian peasant 1s made by mixing
coarse barley meal and water, rolling
the dough thin and baking It over a
round flat baking-stone under which a
fire of fagots Is kept burning. Enough
of this bread is made at one baking
to last a whole winter. Holes are
punched In the cakes so that they can
be strung on a pole and placed across
tile celling. It often happens In some
of the peasant homes of northern
Norway that a man can reach up and
tear off a piece of this bread as he
wants It.
Tortillas for Mexicans.
“In Syria the hearth Is often two
stones between which fagots are
placed and the bread la cooked on an
Iron plate placed on top.
“Some of the Indian tribes of the
Pacific slopes of the United States
make a kind of flour from acorns
which they soak in boiling water,
mould Into a flat cake and cook in
the sun. The tortilla of the Mexican
la almost as much a part of his cos
tume or background as his huge
peaked hat. It la a kind of flapjack
which it takes a cultivated taste and
a gastronomic trick or two to appre
ciate. It is made from Indian corn
which has been parboiled anil crushed
Into a paste and Is baked on an Iron
or stone plate hut not enough to make
the tortilla brown
“Cassava root makes one of the
principal foods of the people of trop
ical America. From the coarse meal,
somewhat resembling ostmeal, thin
round cakes are made.
Scotch and Indiana Have Scones.
“In India the natives eat round, flat
cakes of unleavened wheat bread
called ‘chapattles.’ The cook shapes
them with his hands and bakes them
on a griddle on the coals. They re
semble to some extent the thin sheets
made of wheat floor and water,
called scones, which are eaten In
Scotland.
“One of the most Interesting of the
unleavened breads Is the Passover
bread which has been uaed by ortho
dox Jews since the time of Moses. It
la made much like the most primitive
bread—a mixture of flour and water
baked In round cakee—and resembles
the calcined remains of cakes made
from coarsely ground grain which
have been recovered from the Swiss
lake-dwellings of the 8tone Age. In
those days, however, the grains used
were barley and a one-grained wheat.
First Bread From Barley.
"Egyptologists believe that barley
was the first grain uaed by the an
cients In their bread-making, but
wheat must have come Into use soon
after barley. Loavee of bread are
CHURCH BOMBED AT MIDNIGHT
(By The Aaeociated Negro Preaa)
New Orleans, La., April 26.—Inree
tlgation of an alleged dynamite plot
has been begun by the police as a re
sult of an explosion Bunn ay night
which partly wrecked the St John
Baptist Church. At midnight, an hour
after the Sunday serrloee had been
ffpaelwdad, an explosion occurred un
der the floor, causing approximately
$600 damage. Investigation disclosed
a strong smell of gunpowder and It
is the belief that a bomb had been
placed with the Intention of demolish
ing the structure. Rev. William Jones
is the pastor.

represented in sculpture on and* (
monuments. There were two quite
familiar varieties—a gtnull round loaf
aomewhut like our muttin and an
elongated roll sprinkled on top with
seeds like the modern Vienna roll. In- !
ddentally the Vienna roll wus Intro- J
duced Into the United States during
the Civil war when a ‘war bakery’
operated In the basement of the
United States capltol turned out
products to feed the populace of
Washington.
"The Egyptians evidently first
learned the use of leaven and taught
It to the Greeks, Jews and Romans
who passed It on through the nations
they subjected.
“No story on bread would be com
plete without at least a reference to
the black bread of Russia, which has
for so long been the staff of life to
the masses. The United States has
Its distinctly typical forms of bread,
such as the hoe-cake, the corn-pone
and the ‘spoon bread' of Dixie, and
the rich brown mass that is served
with Boston's Saturday night beans.”
Ancient Jade Axes Are
Found in Philippines
Washington.—Jade axes, which have
retained their cutting edge despite
their age of 20 centuries, are among
the relics obtained as a result of the
first year's archaeological Investigation
carried on in the Philippines under the
leadership of Dr. Carl E. Gttthe, a
scientist sent out for that purpose by
the University of Michigan, according
to advices from Manila.
These scientific explorations, It Is
declared, have revealed specimens of
Chinese art as well as native Philip
pine relics dating back as far as 2,300
years, some of the specimens being
from the Tang, Sung and Ming dynas
ties of China. In addition there are
many specimens of native Filipino
handiwork which are expected to as
sist in clearing up beclouded points in
the history of the islands.
Among the relics discovered were
a number of skulls, which have been
classified by Doctor Guthe as of three
types. The most primitive of these
wns associated with the Stone Age Im
plements. though some of these were
quite highly developed and evidently
used for cutting and shaping timbers
for ships or boats.
The jade axee and adzes were found
in the Paeig river at a depth of 20
f#et or more.
1923 Was Greatest Year
for Consumption of Meat
Washington.—Production and con
sumption of mcHt was the greatest In
American history last year. An esti
mate made recently by the Department
of Agriculture placed the consumpllon
at 18,481,000,000 pounds. Detailed
estimates of production, however, were
not made public.
The per capita consumption was 167
pounds, or 17.3 pounds more than in
1922. when 170.9 pounds per capita
were consumed. Total consumption
was 2,000,000,000 pounds over the aver
age for the last five years, and the
per capita consumption was 18 pounds
over the average. Ninety per cent of
the Increase was represented by pork
products. The per capita consump
tion was: Beef, 62.5 pounds; veal.
7.9: mutton and lamb, 5.2, and pork,
excluding lard, 91.4 pounds. I.ard con
sumption was 16.4 pounds per capita.
Operation Reduces Pain
for Victims of Cancer
Philadelphia.—Dr. William <i. Spiller
and Dr. Charles H. Frasier of the t!nl
versify of Pennsylvania hospital re
cently announced the perfection of an
operation to relieve pain in persons
suffering from Incurable forms of can
cer.
The operation known as "chordo*
omy,” Is a severing of the sensory
nerves in the spinal column. It is
performed only when the pain is too
Intense to be alleviated by drugs.
Doctor Spiller said the operation
would not he entirely successful In
every case “since some pain fibers oc
casionally will escape the knife.” It
had been performed sufficiently often,
he added, to justify a belief in its
efficacy.
Washington.—The 79 American
cities having a population between 50,
000 and 100,000 In 1922 spent $91,344,
000 for educational purposes, other
than libraries^ In that year. Census
bureau statistics show 44 of the cities
spent more than $1,000,000 each and
4 spent more than $2,000,000 each. The
average per capita expenditure for
teachers’ salaries and other expenses
of maintenance, exclusive of outlays
and permanent improvements, amount
ed to $12.77 for 1922, as compured
with $6.55 in 1917.
Sacramento had the largest expendi
ture with $2,950,000, of which $1,770,
000 was for permanent Improvements.

Their first conversation
betrayed the fact that
she was not fastidious
AT a distance she had appeared
• unusually neat, immaculate.
But upon their first face-to-face
meeting he discovered that her teeth
were not clean. And he soon lost
interest.
So many people overlook this one
matter of fastidiousness. And do so
in spite of the fact that in conversa
tion the teeth are the one most
noticeable thing about you.
Notice today how you, yourself,
watch another person’s teeth when
he or she is talking. If the teeth are
not well kept they at once become
a liability.
Listerine Teeth Paste cleans teeth a new
way. At last onr chemists have discovered a
polishing ingredient that really cleans with
out scratching the enamel a difficult problem
finally solved.
You will notice the improvement
even in the first few days. And you
know it is cleaning safely.
So the makers of Listerine, the
safe antiseptic, have found for you
also the really safe dentifrice.

WILBEKFORCE ELEVEN TO
MEET WHITE COLLEGE
(Preston News Service.)
Wilberforce, O., April 11.—For the
first time in several years of football
history, a colored college eleven will
meet a white college eleven in Ohio.
According to a report of the schedule
committee arrangements have been
made for a game on October 4, 1924,
when Wilberforce University’s power
ful aggregation opens the seaeon
against a white team, Carroll College,
of Cleveland, Ohio.
Several years ago when J. Sherman
Hunnicutt, now principal of McKinley
School, Topeka, Kansas, was manager
of the foot ball team at Wilberforce,
the local eleven played annually with
Antioch College (white) at Yellow
Springs, Ohio, and Cedarville Colli ge
(white), Cedarville, Ohio, and Tippy
canoe City team. He also managed
the baseball team and played with Ot
terbein, Springfield, Ohio, Tipplcanoe
City, Cedarville, Antioch, Capital City
College and Ohio Medical College of
Columbus, Ohio. These same teams
also were on the Wilberforce Univer
sity schedule during the ten years
prior to Hunnicutt’s regime, when
Richard C. Holland, now of Washing
ton, D. C., was manager of the base
ball and football teams. At least for
fifteen years Wilberforce played white
teams throughout Ohio. It is, there
fore, nothing new, but really the old
school Is getting back to be recog
nized by her former white friends
throughout the great state of Ohio.
