Rather, wei£h the fruit in your hand.} Heavy citrus fruits are richer than( lightweights. Next look for a firm, smooth, thin skin of fine texture, and don't worry if there are a few surface blemishes and slight discolorations. However, avoid fruit with badly creased skin, and a puffy spongy appearance, which is light in weight. Color or lack of color has nothing to do with the degree of ripeness. The color of citrus fruits depends on several factors: Variety, season of the year, and area of production. Florida and Texas oranges often have areas of green, especially at the stem end, but this color does not indicate under-ripeness of the fruit. As a matter of fact, all citrus producing states have maturity laws which growers are required to observe. After passing the maturity test, the ripe fruit which is not an attractive orange color often is treated with ethylene gas. This treatment takes out the green color and brings forth the familiar natural yellow or orange shade. Subscribe for The Plaindealer by W--Utu Uaioa.

Early evening is not only a period of heavy automobile traffic, but it is also the time when motorists have the greatest difficulty In seeing. Motorists should not be expected to assume the whole responsibility for safety of pedestrians walking along highways and. other roads.1 Walk to the eitreme left side of the road facing oncoming traffic, pedestrians are warned. Walk on the shoulder of the road if there is adequate room. Be alert for cars coming in either direction and look carefully for approaching traffic before starting to cross the highway. When walking along (he road at night, wear something white or carry a light so that you can be seen easily. If it is necessary to tsavel along the highway in a wagon at night, be sure to display a light that is plainly ble from both directions. IMag Deeieraafts The safest time to use noo-parspif* ants or deodorant preparations is after undressing at night. Care would be taken not to drop any of the liquid preparations on underweor or night clothes or to use so much of the creams that they get on fabrics. Powder applied over these preparations at night and again in the morning helps protect clothes. Shields may be as useful in protecting against these chemicals as p.gainst perspiration. Estimating Board Fepv " *ou can estimate the humoer of board feet in a 16-foot log quite closely by subtracting four from the diameter at the top end of the log and squaring the number obtained. For instance, take a 16 foot log measuring 24 inches. After subtracting 4, the remainder 20 is squared and the answer is 400, wheh is the number of board feet in the log. Other lengths are judged proportionately. An 8 foot log would contain half as itwiy board feet as a 16' foot log, ana a 12 foot would .contain three-fourths as many. Bacteria Releases Oil | - The possibility of using certain | types of bacteria to increase the r»> < covery of oil from subterranean de-; posits is suggested in a patent issued to Dr. Claude E. ZoBell, asso- > date profesor at the University of i California. While testing various kinds of bacteria for their ability to modify crude oils. Dr. ZoBell observed in March, 1943, that certain ! cultures released droplets of oil from test tubes filled with calcareous material prepared to simulate underground oil-produojng formations. Further laboratory experiments showed that bacteria can release oil from oil-bearing sediment by (1) dissolving calcareous materials, (2) crowding off the oil physically, and 1 (3) by producing surface-active sub> ; stances, literally "bacteria soap." y j ••ft**.* ,t ^Dry-deaatal Giovci , Jvess have been dry-cleaned, don't try to wash them.
