DIAMOND 760 Motor Oil TIRES Potatoes May Be Discolored After Boiling. How often has tt happened that an ^ambitious housewife, after preparing what she considers to be a perfect meal In every respect for her husband and guests, finds that the potatoes, Instead of being firm and white, are an unappetizing blue or black? The reason for the black boiled po tatoes has been determined, believes Prof. W. E. Tottingham of the University of Wisconsin college of agrlculture. Through his experimentation, E'rofeasor Tottingham has proved that this discoloration is the result of the for matlon of pigment products which ap pear when the potatoes are grown In soil having a lack of potash fertilizer The lack of potash In the soil causes the formation of certain organic compounds known as amino" acids. These compounds oxidize to form the color pigments that discolor the potato. Botanists used to explain this discoloration by saying that the potatoes had been dug when they were "green" or not fully developed. Professor Tottingham has disposed of this theory, however, for he reports that he has dug potatoes on the university's experimental farms before they were fully matured and found that, provided they had been given sufficient potash during the growing season, no blackening would result upon boiling. wr-- LILY LAKE Why English Walnuts Are Not an English Product The English walnut Is not native to England. This species of walnut, which is native only to Asia and southeastern Europe, has been grown In Eng land since 1562, If not since the R> man occupation. It was first Introduced Into America from England, and thus became known tp this country as the English walnut Among the Romans It was called the Persian nut, a name by which it is still sometimes known. _ The so-called English walnut Is Indigenous to Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Persia and the region eastward to China.

SPIRIT OF SPRING Why Man Walk* Upright Why does man walk upright instead u{ on all fours like a horse or a cow? Dr Josiah Oldfield, speaking at tho (V.llege'of Preceptors in London, England. recently declared we got thai way from eating fruit. While, as cowj k^pt their noses to the ground rninohirig grass and lions developed front feet t.rnied with powerful clav-s,,jnnn stool up on his hind legs to pick fruit. Thus, said Doctor Oldfield, our primitive ancestors gradually assumed an erect posture and their front legs were freed to become tools for creative work such as the making of a stone ax or a ressel. •' Why Wife I* Helpmeet Genesis 2:18 says: "And the Lord God said, It Is not good that the man should be alone; 1 will make him a help meet for him." In this sentence meet means fit or suitable. "I will make him a helper suitable for him." The help and meet were at an early date combined into helpmeet, meaning a helper or companion, especially a wife. Helpmeet in turn was corrupted into -helpmate, with the same mean ing. The two words are hone used interchangeably. •>- .. .,.. nif. .trj. /. .
