COW IS IMPORTANT
FIGURE IN INDUSTRY
Remarkable Variety of Arti
cle* Made From Milk.
Washington.—"If the humble cow
ever aspired to trademark her prod
ucts the average shopper would be
amazed at the labels Made from milk’
which would adorn his purchases—
purchases ranging from born-rim spec
tacles to chessmen, magazines to ra
dio sets," says a bulletin from the Na
tional Geographic society’s Washing
ton headquarters.
“Consider a debutante’s ball, which
is a most Inappropriate place to con
template the unromantic cow. The oc
casion would lose much of its glamor
If the cow didn’t supply the milk
which helps provide many other ad
juncts than the ice cream.
“Yonder maiden's burnished golden
hair Is kept in place by a Haring comb,
made of milk ; she toys with a milk
handled fan; she made her toilet
somewhat hastily with an array of ar
ticles largely made of milk, because
she received her belated Invitation
from a procrastinating young man
through a telephone receiver made of
milk. She is Jotting down her dance
engagements on a program made of
milk, while she chats during Intermis
sion with an escort flecking ashes from
a cigarette in a milk-made holder.
"Sounds a bit far-fetched, doesn’t
It? But 3 per cent of casein in cow's
milk today Is the raw material for a
kaleidoscopic array of manufactured
products.
“Nor does this take Into account
that, for every six couples at the
dance, somewhere in the background
Is one cow. For at our present rate
of consumption every twelve persons
consume the inifct product of one cow.
Milk as Staff of Life.
“Bread has a reputation for being
the ’staff of life.' but milk more nearly
fulfills that definition. Substitutes
for our customary breads may be had;
but there is no substitute for milk. Our
civilization depends literally upon a
plentiful supply of good milk.
"Even the elimination of the casein
from milk, the element which pro
vides most of the by-products, would
be inconvenient. Chemically, casein Is
the principal nitrogenous constituent
of milk; popularly, it Is the ‘curd’; and
its first and principal use is for
cheese.
“Our animal Immigrants have been
neglected. Their importance deserves
a society of their descendants. Eco
nomic geography has been influenced
by the animal winners of our West.
When, in 1626, a packet of the Dutch
West India company lamled on Man
hattan island with a cargo of domestic
animals and agricultural implements
It paved the way for a principal indus
try of the Empire state of 1924. Eco
nomically, the New Amsterdam set
tlers were cheeseinakers.
“After the Black Hawk war. In
1882, the progeny of these settlers
shaped Wisconsin's economic destiny
by driving their covered wagons up
the west shore of Lake Michigan.
Wherefore Wisconsin last year pro
duced $9,000,000 worth of cheese.
“The very names of cheeses—
Cheshire, Gorgonzola, Edam, Cheddar,
Parmesan, and many others—read like
a gazetteer. The genealogist. Sher
lock Holmes of the family tree, might
get important clues of people’s origin
by the cheeses they eat.
“There is a fascination, too, in the
making of cheese. The spherical Edam
cones are reputed to be dark red to
this day because. In the days before
pure food laws, a consignment was
tinted with a hurmles solution of car
mine. Just why people like to eat
In pink, rather than yellow, is a prob
lem for the psychologists, hut that
preference not only keeps the cheese
red. but It has virtually eliminated
yellow tomatoes from the market, and
causes a heavy monetary loss to sal
mon shippers if, perchance, their catch
happens to be white instead of pink.
some uecoranve uneescs.
“The Italian Parmesan cheeses are
kept for several years and then are
polished with a mixture of charcoal
and linseed oil until they shine like
ebony. The housewife throws moldy
bread into the garbage pall, but when
she buys Roquefort cheese she judges
its quality by the green blotches,
which are developed by introducing
bread mold Into the sheep's milk of
which Roquefort Is made.
"In recent years manufacturers
have become active competitors of
cheesemakers In buying casein. The
substance is highly cohesive and is lit
tle afTerted by heat or moisture. Hence
It Is used as glue, and also as a binder
In making glazed paper, In dyeing cot
ton cloth and In piecing together lami
nated furniture.
"If a drug store were to display on
a single shelf Its articles In which
casein Is used the exhibit would re
semble a rummage sale. There would
be earrings and shoe polish, oilcloth
and medicinal tablets, photographic
plates and strings of beads.”
India “Flu” Epidemic
Death Toll 13,000,000
London.—Between 12,000,000 and
13,000,000 people in India died dar
ing the lntluenza epidemic in the
winter of 1SU8, it is revealed by the
Indian census of 1921. The popula
tion In 1921 was 318,942,480, an in
crease of 1.2 per cent over the 1911
census, but It la several points under
the 1918 estimated census, due to the
epidemic.
There are about 9,000,000 more
males than females In India, and much
headway In education, especially
among females, Is shown by the 1921
census. In religious beliefs the Hin
dus number 686 out of every thousand
of the population. Mohammedan ad
herents number 217 a thousand, Bud

KNIFE COULD BE
LOST UNDER NAIL
Massachusetts Man Makes
One From Stem of Moth
er’s Earring.
Boston.—A knife so small that in
can be lost under tlie nail of the little
finger Inis been made by Solomon
Lorenze Baxter, a watchmaker of
Wellesley Village.
Formed from the stem of his moth
er’s earring, the knife Is only one
eighth of an Inch long, and has seven
parts, consisting of two handles, a
back spring, three rivets and a blade.
Mr. Baxter has fashioned it exuctiy
like his own regulation-size penknife.
Tlie microscopic knife opens and shuts
easily and its blade is sharp enough
to cut.
Air. Baxter, ever since he was a
child, bus had for his hobby the mak
ing of minute objects. His culminat
ing achievement has been this micro
scopic knife which he has to carry
around In a glass tube. The knife can
be seen clinging to the sides of the
bottle or on the cork.
In addition to this knife, Mr. Baxter
has three others which he calls large
knives, but which are only a quarter
of an Inch larger than the microscopic
one. He carries them about In a small
rnnnila bag. They are strung on a
gold chain, one knife made of hard
rubber with a shining blude of gold,
and the other two mother-of-pearl,
with silver blades.
Other Unique Knives.
The hobby that culminated with the
fashioning of the smallest knife in the
world, started with the construction of
a minute knife made out of a coin for
his mother. He followed this one with
a knife shaped like a man's leg, the
blade fitting into the part correspond
ing to the thigh. In his early days his
only tools were a peg, an awl and a
tile, and with these he once made a
padlock containing 22 rivets, out of six
sliver quarters of his mother's.
Many people have tried to take a
picture of his knives, but they are all
too small.
Mr. Baxter, who is almost seventy
one, has had a varied and interesting
life. He was horn in Burnham, Me.,
and early in his life went out West,
where lie says cowboys were "wild
and wooly' enough. He had many
fascinating tales to tell of those days.
About the only thing that he brought
back Fast him was a gambler's
lucky ring. It was a plain gold ring,
and the gambler traded it to Baxter
for a watch, hut the luck did not last
and Air. Baxter finally got rid of It.
Has Other Hobbies.
Besides his interest in knives. Air.
Baxter has two other hobbies, clocks
and firearms. He makes small banjo
clocks, and has been known to finish
one in a day. He has made about 12
of them, and no two are alike. His
watches nnd knives have been shown
to travelers from all over the world.
Among his treasures are antique
wooden clocks, more than 150 years
old. He likes to make over grand
father clocks and to work In wood, es
pecially mahogany. One of his clocks
is a French Willard clock that is very
valuable.
Among his firearms is a pistol 250
years old, mounted with silver and
gold, and an old-fashioned flintlock
gun with a pepper box ; a gun with a
knife attached, and a nameplate In a
foreign tongue. One of his fowling
pieces, made by a famous firm, has en
graved on It a man, a dog. a fountain
and roosters, and Is very old and vain
able. Another of his possessions Is a
dueling pistol, with the former owner’s
name on the back.
A cork pistol, used in frontier fight
ing against the Indians, was given by
Its owner and user. Doctor Newliall,
to Mr. Baxter, a personal friend. An
Indian gun. shaped much like a mid
iron used in golf, was given him by
his wife's uncle, and It Is very old and
rare.—Boston Olohe.

Find Bones of Miocene
Mammal in California
Bakersfield, Cal.—What are believed
to be the most complete portions ever
discovered of a aqualodent. a mammal
that existed In the Miocene age from
one-half million to two million years
ago, have been found by Charles Mor
tice, a student of prehistoric life, on
Shark Tooth mountain, near the Kara
river oil fields. Reconstruction of the
aqualodent, Morrlce said, has been
made In Germany, Australia and Eng

AT a distance she had appeared

But upon their first face-to-face
meeting he discovered that her teeth

So many people overlook this one
matter of fastidiousness And do so
in spite of the fact that in conversa

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
