A recent survey demonstrated that 94; of households used biscuits and crackers at regular meals, 689% used them as between-meal snacks; 49%, when entertaining, and 359, hetore retiring, Tho unusual popularity of 'Soda Crackers began in the days of sailing ships, when a voyage might last for six months or more, Bread the "staff of [lifo"--was a problem until some genius de- veloped the sea-hiscuit, Hers was the staff of life in a form that would keep indefinitely, alter this important ship-hiscuit became the mainstay of ships" crews during long months at sea, The crisp, nutty, nutritious So- di Bisenit of today is a fiest-cousin Shortly development, wesw of the old-time sea-biscuit. Tt has all the nutritive valuo of the best type of bread, but much less mois. ture. The moisture content of white bread, for example, is 36% of {ts total weight, while it 'is less than 6% of a good Soda Cracker.

WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING WHEAT STORAGE Britain's scientists are out to solve one of the hardest problems of wheat storage. It is_a proved fact that dry grain keeps better "they are diverted down one chute, when a batch of wet seeds arrive whereas the drier seeds collect down 'a different chute.

The av- cago bulk-stored wheat is a mix- ~ tures of the two, and the time for which it will keep is the time that moist grains will keep. One way out is to dry the whole yield ar- tificialy, but this is a long and difficult process. The alternative is to separate the wet grains from the dry, so that the wet grains only need be artificially dried, In the pest infestation laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial' Research two men, Dr. F. Y. Henderson and T. A. Oxloy, have devised a pilot plant in which the two varieties of grain automatically separate themselves, It has proved satisfactory. The experimenters say that a machine of this type large enough to deal with grain on a commer- cial scale is now being built. The apparatus is simple. The stream of mixed grain is directed between two metal plates which act as a condenser; the corn moves along "on a continuous cotton band which is fed plates. The difference is moisture op- erates an electrical relay, so that between the condenser in the kitchen? , insects, How Can I? By Anne Ashiey Q. How can I get vid of insects A.
