An After ThoughtThe lady had lost her hsuband, and

had given instructions to the stone masonas to the wording on the tombstone, theending to be "Rest in Peace." In themeantime, her late husband's will dis-closed the fact that she had been some-what shabbily treated.

She rushed around to the stone masonand told him to omit the words "Rest inPeace."

"I'm very sorry," he replied, "but theyhave already been carved."

"Oh, well," said the lady; "add 'Unti lwe meet again'."

STJILEYURNAL

Paper in the TtlakinqBy Hoipard File, Chief Chemist

[Note: This is the first of a series of articleswhich Mr. File has written on the history of paper,and the present day methods of its manufacture.]

"Isn't it odd", remarked W. A. DuPayof the Trihune, "that wasps should haveknown how to manufacture paper formillions of years before man did andshould have worked at it through theages under the very nose of man with-out ever being noticed? The wasp nestthat hangs under the eaves or fromthe limb of a tree is the same qualitywhich comes to the door bearing themorning news." To make it the wasphas gone to some fence rail, or to sometree where the fiber is exposed. It hasripped off these individual fibers, chewedthem up, moistened them and convertedthem into wood pulp. It has then modeledthis pulp into thin sheets forming thewalls of its nest.

The paper manufacturers by the em-ployment of ingenius machinery followpractically the same process. Howeverthe papers with which we are familiartoday are the products of processes muchmore complicated than that of the wasp,and modern paper is the product of animproved art of most ancient lineage.

It is often mentioned that the Chinesewere the first to produce paper, but D. C.Everest, in the Marathon Runner, tells usthat the origin of paper making seems tohave begun with the development of theuse of papyrus as a material on whichwritten records could be made and pre-served by the Egyptians. Papyrus wasa rush-like plant of Egypt that grewfrom six to ten feet high. A sort ofpaper was made from it by slitting thestem lengthwise. Several of the peels

were flattened out, a binder of some sortwas added, and strips were laid trans-versely on the first layer. The sheet wasthen pressed and beaten with a mallet,polished with a shell and rubbed with oil.

Some time later, or about 123 B. C.,the Chinese formed paper, probably fromthe bark of the mulberry tree. Mr. DardHunter, writing in Mead Co-Operation,tells us that some of the earliest papermade by the Chinese was formed on awoven cloth stretched on a bambooframe. The paper was allowed to dryon the mold, and consequently manymolds were required and the process wasslow. The ancient Persian was the firstto remove the wet formed sheet from themold to be dried and Mr. Hunter pointsto this as the first real step in the prog-ress of paper making.

The Moors introduced the art of handmade paper into Europe in the tenth oreleventh century. They probably usedcotton fibers, and later linen fibers were'used. Another step in the progress ofthe art was made about this time for itwas soon after the introduction of paperinto Europe that a metal wire screenreplaced the bamboo molds for filteringthe water from the suspended pulp.

In making hand-made paper the fouressential pieces of equipment used werethe vats, molds, felts and presses. Byhard work two men could make sixquires of 24 sheets each per day. Paperwas made by hand in this way until 1798when Roberts, of France, invented a ma-chine for making it continuously. HenryKourdrinier introduced this machine intoEngland shortly thereafter. The principleof this machine is essentially the same asthose in use today and today a paper-

making machine is still known as theFourdrinier.

Paper was not made in the UnitedStates during the first hundred years thecolonies were settled. During that timeit was a luxury and was expensive, beingused only for limited correspondence andin the form of books. In 1690 the firstpaper mill in this country was estab-lished just out of Philadelphia, in Ger-mantown. A portion of this buildingstill stands in Franklin Park. The millwas built by William Rittenhouse whowas a Mennonite preacher. WilliamBradford, a pr inter , was alto interestedin this mill when it was first organized.

Not unti l after the Revolution was anyreal effort made to produce paper forour own needs. During this struggleappeals were made to the people, bothby Congress and the army officers, tosave their rags so that sufficient papermight lie made for the needs of the armyand the new government.

After the war steady progress wasmade and new mills established. Thesewere located where the water supply wasbest suited. In order to make paper itwas necessary to have an abundant sup-ply of cool, soft water and the older millswere located where this could be ob-tained. Until after the Civil War. ac-cording to Dr. H. P. Baker in the PaperTrade Journal, all the paper in thiscountry was made from cotton or linenrags. It was not unt i l the use of wood

pulp was developed that the paper millsbegan to locate near the spruce forests.

The first suggestion that paper couldbe made from wood came from an Eng-lishman named Reamus, in 1719. He con-ceived the idea from observing that thewasps built their nests by making apaper from wood. Today more than 90percent of the total tonnage of papermade in this country is from wood pulpalthough there is still a large quantitymade from cotton and linen rags, the ragsbeing used in the higher grades of paper.Xews print is made from wood pulp butrag stock is used in the papers that areplaced in permanent files to be preserved.

Today paper is one of the cheapest ofmodern conveniences, we might well sayit is a necessity. Little do we realize theenormous amount that is made, nor theamount of labor and capitol required andinvested, nor the scientific achievementsthat have brought the various grades ofpaper to us at so low a cost. Over tenmillion tons of paper are made in thiscountry each year. •• A leading New Yorknewspaper announced recently that it hadused a thousand tons of news print paperin getting out one Sunday edition, andno doubt there are other large newspaperswho use a like amount.

Last year, according to Dr. Baker, oversix million cords of wood were used forproduction of paper pulp. The per capitaconsumption of paper for last yearamounted to 58 Ibs. of news print, 23

THE STRLEY JOURNAL

Ibs. of book paper, 23 Ibs. of wrappingpaper, and over 60 Ibs. of paper board,and an amount of other papers to makethe total consumption over 200 Ibs. perperson.

Wood pulp and cotton rags are notthe only materials that go into the mak-ing of paper and paper board for manyother sources of cellulose such as straw,esparto, jute, and corn stalks are findingtheir way into wrapping paper and board.The paper industry uses yearly, in ad -dition to the pull), a hundred millionpounds of rosin, thirty-four million poundsof casein, an equal amount of starch andgum, and enormous quantities of sulphur,china clay, alum, chlorine and dyes.

There are two distinct steps in themanufacture of paper, first that of pro-ducing pulp, and second the making ofpaper from the pulp. Not all manufac-turers of paper make their own pulp andthere are many manufacturers of pulpthat do not make paper. Many mills thatare located far from the source of sup-ply, buy the pulp already prepared. Theymay purchase various grades of pulp andblend it for the several different gradesof paper. It is a common practise tobuy wood pulp and add a certain per-centage of cotton rag stock to improvethe quali ty of the paper, or they maybuy pulp or rag stock for working overwith waste paper.

In the production of wood pulp thereare four dist inct processes that producefour characteristic grades of pulp andmany grades of paper. These are known

as ground wood, soda, sulphite, and Kraftor sulphate processes.

The wood used for making paper thatis most in demand is spruce. Otherwoods that can be used are hemlock, fir,poplar, pine, gum, cottonwood and other"soft" woods. The use of hard woodssucb as maple, are not so satisfactoryand perhaps, are too valuable for thispurpose.

The trimmed logs are delivered to themill by rail or by stream. They are takenin on a large chain conveyor and sawedinto short lengths. These lengths arethen passed to large tumblers where thebark is broken and knocked off and thelogs emerge completely debarked.

From this point the process dependson the kind of pulp that is to be made.In the case of ground wood pulp the pro-cess is purely mechanical and consists es-sentially of forcing a log under pressureagainst the surface of a grinding stone.As the log is being ground a streamof water is run into the mill to keep thetemperature, caused by f r ic t ion, fromburning the wood. Particles of barkare then screened out and the pulp con-centrated or dewatered. It is now readyto be made into news print or other cheapgrades of paper. This pulp is interior tothat made by other processes because ofthe shortness and weakness of the fiber.The paper made from it turns yellow withage and deteriorates rapidly. In makingnews print or bag paper from groundwood 15 to 25 percent of a stronger pulp,

I-ogs are floated down streams to the pulp mills.

THE STALEY JOURNAL

such as sulphite pulp, is generally usedwith it.

Wood, as it conies to the pulp mill, ismade up of cellulose fibers bound togetherwith a substance called lignins. The por-tion of the wood valuable in making paperis the cellulose which is little affectedby chemicals and the elements. In orderto free this cellulose from its bindingmaterials it is necessary to treat the woodwith chemicals and bleaching solutions,and the process by which this is donedesignates the type of pulp and the gradeof paper to be made. The ground woodpulp just described is purely mechanicaland the pulp contains all the substance ofthe wood. The next three processes arechemical, refining the cellulose, and pro-duce a much better grade of pulp andpaper than does the ground wood. Ofcourse they are more expensive and re-quire a more intricate mill layout.

The sulphite process produces the high-est grade of wood pulp, and from thisgrade such papers as writing and notepaper, ledger, bond and magazine papersare produced. It is also used to strengthenpaper made from poorer grades of pulp.In its manufacture the wood logs are cutto small chips and then fed to large di-gesters where the chipped wood istreated under high pressure and tem-perature with a solution of bisulphite oflime. This liquor dissolves all the con-stituents of the wood except the cellu-lose. After the digestion is complete thepulp is washed with fresh water until freefrom the acid liquor. It is then passedthrough a system of screens and thick-

eners and is eventually bleached, dewater-ed, and dried in thick, heavy sheets re-sembling paper. The yield of sulphite pulpis about 50 percent of the prepared wood.

In the sulphate process the wood isprepared as small chips, the same as forthe sulphite process. In this case thenon-cellulose substances of the wood aremade soluble and eliminated by digestionunder pressure and high temperature withcaustic soda solution. This process ismuch older than the sulphite process andis the better process for such soft woodsas poplar, cottonwood and similar woodsof short fiber. The unbleached pulp isused in the manufacture of wrappingpaper where the color is not detrimental.The bleached pulp is used in the manu-facture of book, magazine and envelopepapers where soft texture and bulk areessential. In the soda process the recov-ery of the caustic liquor is important andnecessary from an economical standpoint.

The Kraft or sulphate process producesa very strong paper and is used for wrap-ping paper, paper bags and linings. It isbrown in color and is rarely, if everbleached. This process is a modificationof the soda process and has been calledthe sulphate method because of the sul-phate of soda in the digesting liquor.There are several alkalies in this liquorother than sodium sulphate and the sod-ium sulphide is probably of more import-ance, the liquor also contains caustic sodaand soda ash. The digesters and thesystem in general is very similar to theprocess for making pulp by the soda pro-cess and consists of chipping the wood,

The wood chips when ready for the next step are about the size of dominoes.

digestion with alkalies, washing, screen-ing, and dewatering.

The final operation in preparing pulpfor the manufacture of paper is that ofbleaching. All pulp, regardless of howit is made, must be bleached for thebetter grades of paper. The pulp madeby the foregoing processes is run intoa system of large wooden or acid prooftanks (tile l ined) and the bleaching liquoris added, the mass being continuouslyagitated. The bleaching of pulp is anoxidizing action and a solution of ordi-nary bleaching powder or hypochloriteof lime is the source of oxygen generallyused. This may be purchased by the millas bleaching powder but the larger millsprepare their own by treating lime with

liquid chlorine. The bleaching processmay be continuous or intermit tent . Afterthe bleaching has been accomplished thebleach liquor is washed from the pulpand generally an antichlor such as sul-phites is added to neutralize the last traceof chlorine remaining in the pulp. Goodbleaching requires that a maximum white-ness and permanency be obtained with-out injury to the fiber.

After the bleaching has taken place thepulp may be dewatered, dried and baledin sheets resembling heavy white paper,to be sold to paper makers who do notproduce their own pulp. In mills whereboth pulp and paper is made the bleachedpulp may be dewatered in wet sheets orit may be dried and stocked.

The chips are ftr! into these huge digesters where chemical action loosens the fibers from other in-gredients.

THE STULEY JOURNAL

Staley Portrait Is FinishedWhen the new Decatur Masonic Tem-

ple is dedicated wi th in a short time, oneof the items of interest in the new building will he a portrait , in oils, of A. KStaley. Sr. The portrait is being put in tothe Temple as a g i f t of the Masonicbodies of Decatur.

When the Deactur Masonic lodges de-cided to have painted th is portrai t of Mr.Staley they investigated various ar t i s ts inorder to get one whose work could !>; •depended upon. Af te r much considera-tion it was decided to give the commis-sion to Robert M. Root, whose work,especially in the field of portraits, ha*been attracting much at tent ion.

Mr. Root's home has always been Shel-byville, 111., w i t h i n easy motoring distancefrom Decatur, and there he has his studioIt is his theory that a man can do asgood work in central Illinois as he canin any place else, and if central I l l inoishappens to be his home, his work prob-ably will be better.

Mr. Staley made six or seven tripsdown to Shelbyville for sit t ings, goingabout twice each week. Although suchsittings are always tiring. Mr . Staley saysthat Mr. Root has found that secret whichis lacking in many artists. He is an ex-cellent conversationalist and his modelsbecome so absorbed in his talk that theyforget they are models.

This shows in Mr. Root's portrait ofMr. Staley. There is no set firm lookwhich seems to say "I dare not move fotfear of disturbing the artist." Ratherthere is created a feeling of ease andcomfort, which, to our untrained eye,seems to be one of the essentials of agood portrait.

The artist has not tried to read hit"i he face something that is not there, n< rli.-'s lie omitted anything. He has broughtout, with his skil lful brush the force ofcharacter which is there and the stronglines which show that character. Mr.Staley, and the few friends who have beenpermitted a view of the picture, are de-lighted with it .

Just before the dedicationof the new $800,000 Templethe artist will come to Deca-tur . bringing wi th him theportrait of Mr. Staley and an-other of the late Jerome

Gorin, which he has also painted, andwill hang them himsel f . He insiststhat the artist who pa in t s the picture isthe best judge of how it should be f ramed,bung and l ighted. For th i s reason hemakes his own frames, and arranges.whenever possible, to hang and light thepictures.

The frame for Mr. Staley's por t ra i t ismade of wood and is covered w i t h goldleaf. Mr. Root recently completed it inthe work shop which he has in connectionwith his studio. It is extremely p la in .and does not detract from the pictureitself.

In having this portrai t made of M rStaley the Masonic lodges of Decatur areexpressing their appreciation of what hehas meant to the order here. He hasbeen prominent in the Masonic order formany years, and it was through his help,financial and otherwise, that the Templewas made possible.

No one was more greatly surprised thanMr. Staley when his portrait was firstsuggested, for he had done what he haddone for the Temple because of his feel-ing for the order and because he feelsthat such a building is a decided asset toDecatur.

Jim Highleq—A UeteranEver since lie walked into the employ-

ment office in November, 1915. the worldhas been powdered wi th starch for JimHighley. He was put to work at that timein the starch packing house and has beenthere, in various capacities, ever since. Inone sense of the word, too, he has beenworking up all the time, for now bis workkeeps him on the roof, where he hascharge i f t h e gyrator.

When a man has worked for the Staleycompany for thir teen years, as Jim has.lie is an old timer, for the Staley com-pany itself is hardly older than that. Jimhas all the ear-marks that the name im-plies—everyone knows him by name, ev-eryone likes him, and everyone wants totalk to h im. When be is working nights,as he does once in a while, he has tocome out early for he always plans tovisit about with the gang around the toolroom and clock house before going on towork.

Jim was working here when the Fellow-ship club was organized and because hewas one of the prime movers in its or-ganization, he was elected vice-presidentat the first business meeting. He servedso capably that he held that office forsix years.

Although be was born in Ohio, Jim haslived in Illinois for about forty years. Infact be came to Macon county when hewas married and he and his wife havemade this their home ever since. Heworked for the Suffern-Hunt Mills formany years, but in 1915 applied at Sta-ley's and here be is today.

Mrs. Highley is quite as important aperson as her husband. They live intheir own home. 971 West Marietta street,and dur ing the summer months Mrs.Highley spends practically every momentworking with her flowers. Her gardenis always a show place.

This home of theirs is now a gatheringplace for their children and grandchildren.Their daughter, Mrs. Hattie Majors, hasthree children, and now her daughter,Mrs. Jaunita Heher, has a small daughterwho has the distinction of being the onlygreat-grandchild in the family. The High-ley's son, Wayne Highley. has four chil-dren, so when the clan all gathers it issome family party.

Jim, the head of the house, is extremelyproud of the whole connection and spends

practically every moment away fromwork, visiting around at home. And bythe way, since he is the head of the fam-ily, it might be well to suggest that, whilewe all know him as Jim, he is officiallyknown as James H. Highley.

VISITORS FROM NORWAYOne of the visitors at the plant in No-

vember was Ornuls Poulsen, of Oslo.Norway. Mr. Poulsen, a member of thefirm of Hans Poulsen & Son, had visitedthe plant once before, two years ago, butthat visit was short and he met only afew Staley people.

Poulsen & Son are Staley representa-tives not only in Norway but in theirneighboring country of Sweden, and forthat reason Mr. Poulsen did not come toDecatur as a stranger. His visit wasnecessarily short because he plans to beback in Oslo by Christmas. He makesmany business trips to America, however,and it is hoped that he will acquire thehabit of including Decatur in all of hisvisits in the future.

Qetting Bob ThereMembers of the Manufacturing Office

bowling team have developed team work,all right, but it is not the kind which theyuse in bowling. It has been developedchiefly to see that one Robert E. Urfer,better known as Bob, gets down to thebowling alley each Friday night, and getsthere on time.

Now Bob is one of the finest fellows inthe world, but he has two failings—heforgets appointments, or if he keeps themhe is generally late. His mates on theteam decided they would overcome boththese habits if they killed themselves do-ing it.

This is what they do.Tuesday morning Ralph Fitch drops

into the purchasing office, talks aboutvarious things (avoiding if possible thesubject of office heating systems) andthen says, "Oh, by the way, Bob, you aregoing to bowl Friday, aren't you?" AndBob says, "Sure, Ralph, I'll write itdown"—and he does and later forgets thepaper.

Wednesday about noon Bront drops in."Say, Bob, our team bowls Friday night,doesn't it? You'll be there I suppose?"Bob saws, "My gosh, I almost forgot,but I'll write it down." He does andthen throws the paper in the waste bas-ket.

Thursday afternoon about 3 o'clockCharley Potter wanders in, settles hisglasses more firmly and says, "Bob, youare planning on bowling Friday night Ihope?" Bob looks astonished and says,"By George, that is our night to bowl.I'll be there."

Friday, shortly before 5, Warren Ichlcrdrops in, leans over Bob's desk, narrowshis eyes, points a long finger at Bob andsays, "YOU be down at the bowling al-ley at 7 o'clock tonight. Don't fail tocome and don't dare be late. Bob shouts,"Heavens, I forgot all about it"—butpromises to be there and so far he haskept bis promise each week. All of Bob'sfriends insist that it is a wonderful sys-tem.

Nights when Tommy Gogcrty isn't atthe bowling alley the Syrup House gangsimply is all off, and it is thought it isbecause they miss Tommy's "Sock-o!"

THOSE PENCILSIt would seem that Harry Walmsley's

bowling power lies in the number of pen-cils he carries in his vest pocket. Whenbe stoops over the pencils fall out, and af-ter he has rolled the ball he picks them upand puts them back. If, as occasionallyhappens, the pencils do not tumble to thefloor, he has been known to take themout, toss them to the floor, and pick themup again. Every artist has his queertraits.

*Some there are who dress up for bowl-

ing, but many are doubtful whether ornot Eddie Larrick belongs in this class.At any rate he wears, upon all bowlingoccasions, a pair of very wide and veryblack suspenders.

Everyone in the auditing departmentwho wants to know what time it is, huntsup Gilbert Boren. He has a new wristwatch and always knows the exact time.

Dorotha David failed to see the jokebut some of her friends thought it wasterribly funny when a mouse crawled intoher shoe and died there. No, Dorothadid not have the shoe on at the time.

I want to express my sincere thanksto the Fellowship club for the flowerssent me while I was ill.

This program, as well as others of thecourse, will be given in the high schoolauditorium. One change will be made,however. The program will not start un-til 8:15. That should give everyone whowishes to attend time to get into his seatbefore the music begins.

We Inuite l]ou To Our ParlyThat is, we in \ - i t c you to the party if you are are between the magic

ages of 5 and 12 years and if your father or mother is a member of theStaley Fellowship club. And it's going to be a wonderful party too.

\Ye really should say there are going to be two parties—one for thewhi te children and one for the negroes, and one party is going to be justas nice as the other.

In the first place the parties are to be a Christmas celebration and areto be given

Saturday afternoon, December 22nd.

In the second place the party for the white children will be given in the

Y. M. C. A. Annex.

You know where that is—just north of West Main street on Churchstreet. It is just a block west of the Transfer House so it won't be hardto find.

The party for the colored children will be given in the

Staley Club House

Because there are so many boys and girls whose fathers and motherswork at the plant, we can i n v i t e only the children who are between theages of

Five and twelve years.

It gets dark early now so we are planning to have these parties early inthe afternoon. The party hours are

Two until four-thirty o'clock.

18

THE STALKY JOURNAL

Please remember that admission wil l be by ticket only. Men in theplant who hsve boys and girls who are the right age to attend the partywill get a ticket for each child, with that child's name on it, from his fore-man. Take care of that ticket and bring it with you for

No child will be admitted without his ticket.

Of course there is no charge for these parties. Everything is absolutelyfree because the Fellowship club wants to give the children of the membersa good time \Ve would like to have all the smaller children and themothers but we simply have no room. The babies would get tired and themothers would be so busy caring for them that they would not enjoy them-selves. So this party is going to be just for the boys and girls who are bigenough to come without their mothers.

Our good old Christmas friend, Santa Claus will be at both parties partof the time but since he can't be there all afternoon he is doing the nextbest thing—he is sending

Miss Freda Combs of the Pines to the Y. M. C. A.

Everyone knows Miss Combs and what grand parties she gives. \Yellthis is going to be the grandest she has ever put on—she says so herself.There will be games and contests and a Christmas tree and sometime dur-ing the afternoon Santa Claus will be there. Oh, it's going to be someparty.

Down at the Club House he will have another helper who will see thatall the small guests have a good time.

If you are the proper age, then, see that your father brings home yourparty ticket sometime after Dec. 19. Don't ask him for it before then be-cause they will not be given out before.

And be sure to bring your ticket to the party.

HOUSEHOLDCooking the Christmas Bird

By Freda Sperling, Household Editor

Letters have been coining in asking ushow to cook turkey, how to keep duckfrom being dry, how to prevent goosefrom being greasy—and many more ques-tions about cooking the meat for the holi-day season. A golden-brown, juicy, tend-er fowl, delectable in flavor, pungent ofodor, is the principal item of the Christ-mas dinner. Most everyone knows whena bird is properly cooked, but not every-one knows how to bring it about.

Two factors help to determine the sortof turkey or goose you will serve. Itsselection and its preparation. Young, ten-der fowl with a fresh color should bepicked out.

After selecting the fowl with care, wipeit with a damp cloth. Singe it and re-move the pin feathers. Take the gibletsout and put enough stuffing in to looselyfill the cavity, allowing for swelling.Truss, by fastening wings and legs to thecarcass with skewers or string. • Placewith breast up on rack of roaster, placecover with steam vent closed and bake allbut the large birds (turkeys and largegeese) at 450 to 500 degrees, broiling oven,for 30 to 35 minutes, allowing them tobrown all over. Then, reduce the tem-perature to a medium oven, 350 degrees,for the rest of the baking time, allowing20 minutes to the pound. When cookinglarge fowl, start with a moderate oven,350 degrees, and cook the full time atthat temperature, also allowing 20 min-utes to the pound.

Every 15 to 20 minutes during theroasting, pour the liquid in the bottomof the roaster over the bird to moistenand baste it. In cooking a goose, whenit is about half done, drain off the greaseand when it is completely done, skim thefat off the gravy. Ducks and dry birdswill be moister if strips of bacon areplaced across the breast during the roast-ing.

To make a slightly different roast fowl,

remove it af ter it is brown and cover out-side w i t h bread crumbs. There are somespecially designed heavy metal roasters onthe market which are excellent for largefowl; the lids fit tightly, holding in all themoisture and giving a tender, juicy meat.It is not necessary to baste when usingthese, but it is important to brown wellbefore placing on the lid and finishing thecooking.

Chicken is always a favorite meat andhere is a recipe for chicken that is un-usual and yet it is wholesome and de-licious:

BAKED-FRIED CHICKEN WITHVEGETABLE GRAVY

Wash chicken, which has been cut inpieces, and dip in the following hatter:

% cup flourY$ teaspoon saltJ4 teaspoon pepperl/2 teaspoon sugar1 teaspoon Staley's Salad and Cooking

Oil1 eggl/4 cup milkMix dry ingredients, add milk mixed

with the beaten egg and oil and beat un-til smooth. Dip pieces of chicken in thisbatter and then in dry bread crumbs.Brown in a hot oven, 500 degrees, or in afrying pan. Cover and bake at 350 de-grees unti l tender or cook slowly with lidon in heavy kettle on top of the stoveunt i l tender.

When chicken is done, pour off liquid inbottom of pan, add half., as much flourand brown in pan on top of stove. Addenough milk to make a smooth gravy andseason to taste. To the gravy add acooked vegetable mixture made by steam-ing or cooking equal quantit ies of choppedcarrots, celery, green pepper, and peas.This should be thick with vegetables.Serve the chicken with the vegetablegravy and you have a complete meal.

IDhy Christmas Chaos?It is at about this time each year that mother rumples up her bobbed

hair and wonders what in the world she wi l l do about that ever increasingChris tmas l ist . ( Father having slid out from under, .Mother does theworrying.) There are so many relatives, and the youngsters are growingup and demanding more expensive gifts, and acquiring list of friends whomthey wish to give presents to—IF mother will select the presents.

Its a breathless lament which Mother moans, but mother-like, shebrings more woe on her shoulders for next year by going through with itas her fami ly had known she would. And the annual mad race is on, andin the rush we trample and crush that which should shine out as the realChristmas spirit. In our desire to remember everyone on the list, we tossmere ti l ings to mobs of people and after it is over experience a feelingwhich nearer approaches hate than the love which the real Christmasmessage inspires.

Perhaps one reason for this reckless giving and its resulting chaos isthe foundation upon which it is buil t . I f giving is thought of only atChristmas time, and then means only an exchange of presents, is it anywonder there is stress and hatred in the end? True giving must comefrom a desire to give—not just a feeling that one must repay for favorsdone.

True Christmas gifts, too, are given wi th a thought to the likes anddislikes of the people for whom they are intended. And to keep oneselfin the proper Christmas spiri t , Christmas shopping should be done earlyin the month and early in the day. There are fewer rumpled tempersand fewer disappointing g i f t s i f tha t plan is followed.

Old Christmas

Old Christmas comes\Vith frozen thumbs.

His long beard whi te w i th snow;"Us right good cheerHis knock to bear.

And grief to have him go.

Old hearts grow youngWi th his merry tongue—

Both heart and purse are wide;The hungry poorFind open door

At the happy Christmas-tide.

THE STALEY JOURNAL

After he has taken out his license and selected a likely looking spot, the good hunter's next stopis to receive permission from the owner of the farm to hunt there. That is what the man in the pictureon the left is doing. He wants to have a good time, but he wants to run no risks of having troublewith land owners.

Then he and his companion start off toward the field but his friend makes a bad start. Carryinghis gun over his shoulder as he is he may trip and the man behind him be shot. The man in the rearis carrying his gun correctly.

ANNUAL GAME DINNERMr. and Mrs. K. D. Sherman gave their

annual game dinner in the Staley clubhouse Nov. 17 and the affair was the usualsuccess. The quail, about which the din-ner was planned, were brought back byMr. Sherman and H. E. Dressen whospent a week hunting in the southern partof the state.

Out of town guests at the dinner wereMr. and Mrs. Fred Weller, Mr. and Mrs.Carl Van Rankin and Mr. and Mrs. Mc-Crackin, of Ramsey, Mr. and Mrs. Car-roll Redfern of Canton, Mr. and Mrs.Walts of Bloomington, and Miss LillianSpear, of Mattoon.

BAGS RED FOXSo far Mac Jagusch, of the tool room,

seems to hold the record for hunters thisseason. Out after quail a short time ago,he saw a red fox, and says that he wasas surprised as the fox when he shot it.He has had the pelt mounted and isproudly exhibiting it to his doubtingfriends.

Vivian Pierce, of the purchasing office,always found it hard to work when therewas a big high school football gamescheduled this fall. Her brother George,known in the football world as "Tuffy",plays on the Decatur High team.

To reach the field where these men wanted to hunt they had to climb a fence. That was no trickbut one of the men might have made a tragic event of it. He set his gun over the fence and leaned it,muzzle end up, where he probably will kick it and maybe discharge it into his own body .is he climbs over.His friend is putting his gun through the fence and will lay it flat on the ground so that, even if he doeskick it in climbing over, there is little or no danger of the shot hititng anyone.

24

THE STALEY JOURNAL

When the men sit down on a lug to ics t inn- nf them ayain ^Inm * si^ns uf con ti-mph t ing sui-ride.This time it is the man on the right who is handling his gun so carelessly. As he is holding it his faceis in a direct line with a shot. His companion is holding his with the muzzle pointing down to theground, where it will endanger no one.

"ONE TO GROW ON"Democrats and Republicans alike helped

Clark Bender celebrate his twenty-firstbirthday, which came on presidential elec-tion day this year. Clark's celebrationdid not stop there, either, for he ratherunthinkingly announced in the laboratorythat he was voting because he had conicof age. All of the lab gang, which isalways ready for anything, helped impressupon him the importance of the event.Leather straps and boards were called in-to play and by the time it was over FriendBender was not able to live up to hisname.

YOUNG GEORGEOf course it's nice to keep your youth,

but George Flint, laboratory, finds thatone can look too youthful. All the girlsin the grain office thought he was sucha sweet little boy that they didn't takehis attentions seriously until some onefinally t r l c l them that he had been gradu-ated from the university for a year.

It was during a drinking scene in amovie, that Hank Collins' two year oldson said, in a high distinct voice:

"Oh, those men are drinking all otDaddy's wine."

Now the hunters have finished and are starting toward their ca t . but even mm the man on the leftis careless. He seems not to realize that guns are not made to fend off hush. His companion again carrieshis pointing down and away from both of them.

In spite of all the risks that one of these hunters took, they managed to reach their car in safetyand now they arc both doing the right thing. They are cleaning and unloading their guns even before theyput them in the car. No one wil l be shot with these guns because they "didn't know they were loaded".

Basket BallNot at all upset by a rather discourag-

ing start, the Staley basketball team ispushing on with hopes of better t'meslater in the season. While the first twogames ended in defeats for the Staleyplayers, the boys feel that the tables \ \ i l lsoon be turned. Joe Lahme, who ha?the supervision of the Staley team thisyear, has been trying to get his squad or-ganized and now feels that he has aboutpccomplished that purpose.

The first game of the season, in theIndustrial League, was played with the\Vahash and ended in the close score of21 to 20, with the odd score going tothe Wabash. Of that score Lahme made13 points, George Flint 4, John Wyant 2,and Kenneth Ball 1.

Nov. 22 the Staley team met Muellers,a strong year round combination, and wascrushed in a 41 to 16 score. Lahme wasagain the man of the hour, scoring 8 ofthe total points, while Flint and GuyMathews each took 4.

On the Staley squad this year are JoeLahme, Guy Mathews, Carl Waltens,Glen Smith, John Wyant, Kenneth Ball,George Flint, and Hollis Hise. Thegames are always played in the Y. M. C.A. gym and are open to the public.

The Staley schedule for the next fewweeks is: Dec. 6, Mississippi Valley vs.Staley's; Dec. 13, C. B. &. vs. Staley's;Dec. 26, Cash Co. vs. Staley's; Jan. 3,Osgoods vs. Staley's.

Ten Ijears Ago TodayThese items appeared in The Staley

Journal just ten years ago this month:C. E. Murphy, who started the Staley

Fellowship Journal, and was also direc-tor of safety work at the plant, resignedand his farewell message was published inThe Journal.

The marriage was announced of JackLeaser, formerly of the machine shop, andEva Welch of Indianapolis. The mar-riage took place in Louisville, Ky., Oct.31, for Jack was an instructor in the me-chanics school, stationed at an armycamp.

A full page picture of the Staley sectionin Decattir's big Victory parade on thefirst Armistice Day, was used in connec-tion with the story of the celebration. Inthe parade Harry Treadway impersonatedthe Kaiser, in chains, while Captain Lar-sen was in charge of the guards. CharleyFitch was bandmaster and Goldie Scottwas Miss Democracy.

Announcement was made of the open-ing of a reclamation shop at the plant toreclaim machinery, tools, lumber andother materials which had previously beenwasted or sold for junk.

Neruous Shock and FaintingBy Lucille m.au, R. N., Plant Nurse

Nervous shock is one of the most seri-ous symptoms following an accident andbecause it is not treated properly it is thecause of many injuries resulting fatally.Many times people suffer shock uponhearing bad news, or as a result of beinga witness to an accident.

The signs of nervous shock are intensepalor, staring eyes with a vacant or be-wildered expression, prespiration especial-ly on the face, cold, clammy skin, respir-ation very feeble with long sighs, and avery weak pulse or no pulse at all.

Very often a patient in nervous shockwill vomit and in case of vomiting turnthe head on one side or roll the patienton his side, thus preventing material fromthe stomach being aspirated into thelungs. If there is no vomiting do notgive any liquids until the patient is fullyconscious. When he is able to swallowgive a quarter of a teaspoonful of aro-matic spirits of ammonia in about a haircup of hot water, feeding it in sips. Anyhot drink will stimulate, such as coffee,strong tea or hot ginger tea.

FAINTINGFainting is due to the blood leaving

the head to assist the heart, and is causedfrom fright, pain, fatigue or over-heatedatmosphere. Many times one keeps fromfainting by stooping down or, if sitting,by bending forward. When possible atall, lie down without a pillow, letting thehead be as low as possible, thus encour-aging the blood to return to the brain.

If another threatens to faint where itis possible to lay him down, quicklyplace a hand in front of the waist line andthe other at the back of the neck and bendforward, holding the patient in this posi-tion for a few minutes. If he gets awaywith the faint provide plenty of fresh air.wash the face with cold water, hold acloth to the nostrils which has beensprinkled with aromatic spirits of am-monia. After recovery urge the patientto drink cold water containing a fewdrops of the aromatic spirits of ammonia.

EVENTFUL OCCASIONWhen Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Tinch enter-

tained members of their families at din-ner Nov. 25, they were celebrating severalanniversaries. In the first place it wasJesse's birthday. Two days earlier Mrs.Tinch's mother, Mrs. L. C. Davenport, ofSpringfield, had been 79 years old, so theparty was also in her honor. Then onThanksgiving Day Mrs. Tinch observedher birthday, and on Nov. 22 Mr. andMrs. Tinch observed their wedding an-niversary. So, taken all in all, the partywas a most important occasion.

The party took the form of a noon-day dinner served in the Mirror TeaRoom. Ten members of the immediatefamily were the guests. Mr. Tinch isstarch loading foreman at the plant.

- •» -One busy person at James Millikin uni-

versity over Home Coming week end,Nov. 16-17, was Lynn Hettinger. com-monly known around the laboratory asDoc. He is president of his fraternity.Delta Alpha Epsilon, and this fall he waselected president of the Junior classOrdinarily he works in the laboratory onweek-ends, but this time he had to havea day off.

CHOIR PARTYThe choir of the Riverside Baptist

church gave a party in the Staley clubhouse Nov. 6. W. R. Fenton, of theauditing department, is a member of thechoir.

Carl Simroth, who takes care of ourflower gardens, was ill for several weeksthis fall but is sufficiently recovered nowto be back at work.

Newt Simpson says he wants to thankhis fr iends for sending him that kindling,but they needn't think he is going tosmoke any cigars they may send him.He would like to have more of the kind-ling some time.

When Eve Leaser finally got her per-mit for the club house she knew it wasall right, for it had not only the O. K.of the club president ami the general su-perintendent, but it had the unofficial O.K. of Claude Fletcher and W. H. Broad-bear. .

Leonard Smith has sworn off. He isnot going to help the police departmentany more.

ED GOES HUNTINGIt was early in November tha t Ed

Smith heard the call of the wild and, grab-bing his gun, a-hunting he must go.Bouncing along the lake shore in his Ford,he saw a likely looking hunting ground.and parking his Ford, prepared to hun tthe wiley rabbit or quail or duck or deeror whatever other wild animal might ap-pear.

He was just s ta lk ing (that is what out-does, I believe) his prey when he hearda crasli in the bushes and out rushed anextremely ta l l , extremely angry man, wav-ing his arms, pointing at a prominent"No Hunting" sign and shouting as heran. Ed tried to explain that he hadn'tseen the sign, tha t he couldn't read Eng-lish, that he came from Kentucky, thathe was just out for a walk—but all to noavail. That angry man was not to beappeased, and Ed, his hair figurativelystanding on end ( t h e only way his haircan s tand on e n d ) rushed for his car andsafety.

Later it developed that the landownerintended to put our worthy timekeeperin prison vile, or some such place, butan unknown friend came in and pleadedEd's cause so well that he is still freeand fairly easy. Only in the fu ture heis going to buy his rabbi t s .

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE('. M. Cobb, purchasing agent, scarcely

realized that Nov. 20 was his birthdayunt i l the people in his office appeared athis home that evening to help him cele-brate. Mrs. Cobb had been let in on thesecret and had planned a supper for theparty. Mr. Cobb was presented with abox of cigars and a large bouquet ofroses.

Now that Ed Solicitor's month-old son,E. K. Jr.. has two pairs of boxing gloves,Father Ed is anxiously await ing the timeuntil he is old enough to put them onwith some worthy partner. Since A. E.Staley III is about his age, it has beensuggested the first match be between thosetwo.

FAREWELL PARTYGirls in the sales department entertain-

Changes Election RulesIf we had been asked to select the one

girl in the auditing department whom wefelt would go in for election reforms, wewould" never have named Dorotha David.Dorotha is just not the type one asso-ciates with things of that kind, hut asusual appearances are deceiving, for it wasthis very young woman, pretty and daintyand decidedly feminine, who tried to in-st i tute a reform at the presidential elec-tion.

It was Dorotha's first vote and she wasall excited. She talked much about it,and when she was ready to go to thepoles she took a crowd of her friends withher. Everything went well, seemingly.until she had folded her ballot, handed itin and started to leave. Then with a gaspshe bounced back into the building andshouted:

"Please may I have another ballot? Ivoted wrong and I do want my firstballot to count."

Said the judge, "And what did you dothat was wrong?"

Gasped Dorotha, "I forgot to sign myname to niv ballot."

Main Street to BroadiuavjWhy go to the American Magazine for

stories to inspire our young men togreater efforts when we have such shin-ing examples in our own organization?Why point to men like Al Smith or HenryFord to show how far :\n can pullhimself by his own boot-straps, when wehave Otto Sutler right w i th us? Thecomparison of the two pictures hen.1should alone be enough to convince any-one that Otto has changed, to put itmildly.

On the left we have a picture, p a i n f u l l yand very evidently posed, of Otto as helooked in his extreme youth—perhapswhen he was just entering high school.He was neat, even then, but, as the say-ing has it, not particularly gaudy.

Now gaze upon the young man at theright—Otto as he looks today—handsome,perfectly groomed, self-confident man ofthe world. The first picture was Otto ofDccatur, the second is Otto of New York—just the difference between Main streetand Broadway.

When the old picture came to light,recently, it started a friend to remember-ing, and his thoughts ran something likethis:

"Do you know that Otto received hisearly business training with Jordan &Son, Decatur tailors? You bet he did.His first work at the shop was doing oddjobs such as sweeping up, cleaning thestore, washing windows, etc. He was justa kid then, just leaving grade schools andhe was growing awful ly fast.

"He hadn't been with the shop longbefore he showed such promise tha t hewas promoted to the pressing departmentand there he soon became an ar t is t atswinging the iron. He could press moreclothes than any two men in the shop.He kept on with this work all during hishigh school years. If there was a bigday's work ahead of him. Otto got upearly and often was at work by 6 o'clock.

"The only time on record when Ottofailed to show up was one fal l when theDecatur High and Springfield High foot-ball teams were having their annual bat-tle on Mil l ikin field. His f r i ends aroundthe tailor shop still laugh when they think-about it. Otto was profoundly interestedin football and that day his interest wasgo great that he simply forgot all about

Shall \- call it "From the sidewalks of Decatn,t:i tin- sick-walks of New York"? Whatever it'st i t le , the picture on the left shows Otto Sutler inthe Rood old days in De:atur High School, while theone on the right shows him now—an importantmember of our Xew York office staff.

the shop and failed to appear for workthat day. He joined the rest of the highschool students in their parade downWest Main street to Mill ikin field, for-getting that this parade led right by thetailor shop. Just as he reached the shopOtto risked a side glance and saw all ofthe tailors lined up pointing at him. Thesheepish look on Otto's face was side-splitting.

"There was no doubt about it—Ottocould work, but he had a cheerful, sunnydisposition and he generally kept the shopin an uproar with the f u n n y th ings hvsaid and did. After he left us he went toStalcy's and entered the university, butwe have always kept in touch with himand have always been proud of him."

So—that is what they think of Otto ruton Main street. Down on Broadway,where Otto is helping manage the NewYork affairs of the Staley company, theyhold much the same opinion of h im .

HENRY TALKSEveryone knows lliat Hank Potrafka is

a Republican—he has never made any ef-fort to conceal that fact. Often, though,lie is so busy telling about it that he for-gets to listen to what is going on aroundhim. A recent happening comes to mind.Hank, shortly before our late national up-heaval, was busy, as usual, trying to con-vince the world that Honest Hooverheaded the one and only ticket. He talkedlong and loud and got red in the faceand emphatic, and still the man to whomhe was talking did not answer him.

Finally his solo audience, seeing thatthere was evidently no chance of gettingaway unless he did speak, said, "Say,Hank, what's all the fuss? I'm a Repub-lican and always have been; you don'thave to waste all your oratory on me."

L. M. Banning and Harry Casley saidit was a Masonic meeting they were go-ing to attend down in the country, butthey spent a lot of money getting shavesand hair cuts before they went.

SUCH POPULARITYWhile Mrs. Scheiter was in the hospital

recently, f r iend Ed kept telling her of themany invi ta t ions he was having to dineout. He neglected to tell her that mostof his invitations came after he had gonethrough this performance:

He would hunt up some of his friendswho had been duck hun t ing and h in tabout unti l he was given a pair of ducks.Then he would call up some friend andsay. "I'll bring out a couple of ducks ifyou will inv i te me to dinner tonight."N a t u r a l l y the result was seeming popu-larity.

So were street cars and elevatedtrains. When Lynn wanted to go anyplace he walked. AND Andry toddledalong beside him.

They were too early for the morningsession when they arrived, so between8:30 and 11 that morning they did theloop and the Michigan boulevard shoppingsection ON FOOT. After lunch therewere no meetings for a while so theytook a pedestrian's view of South Michi-gan boulevard and then the distr ict westover to the canal. In the evening theconvention was held over in the LaSalledis t r ic t , so they walked over there. Thistime they had to hurry and Andry waxsure they would call a Yellow (Lynn be-ing a t h i n k i n g fellow), but they walked.All in all, Andy says he hasn't figuredout yet why Lynn bothered to ride toChicago.

Page Ben tiurMotors thumped and roared and rattled

and wheels whirled and dust swirled astwo brave men raced madly, if at noterrifying speed, down Eldorado streetone evening recently. Brave hearts al-most stood still in the excitement of therace, and if ever motors were pushed tothe limits those motors were that day.For the reputation of the manufacturingand sales departments were at stake.

Perhaps it would he well to tell here,before our readers die of suspense, justwho the brave racers were. They wereH. P. Dunlap, representing the sales de-partment, and Howard File, representingthe manufactur ing branch, and while theevent was wholly unofficial, each man wasin to win.

It might be well also to tell somethingof the cars, for they were unusual for suchan event, to say the least. Brother Dun-lap was at the wheel of his recently ac-quired but not so recently manufacturedsemi-sport model Ford, while Sir Howardsteered a fairly straight course in his an-cient famous and beloved Chevrolet. Al-though the Dunlap car is a few yearsyounger than the File machine, the Chev-rolet owner claims that experience shouldcount for a lot.

The race, therefore, seemed even andthe going was good. At an exciting mo-ment the Ford dodged into the lead butjust when the Chevy seemed ready toleap around in one wild curve, the vil-lain, in the form of Ivan Wieland in hismuch newer Chevy, entered. Now, whileIvan drives a Chevy his interests are withthe sales department, and witnesses ofthe race have not been backward in say-ing that he deliberately cut in ahead ofMr. File and caused him to lose the race.The agreement was that the winner wasto take the other man's car, but, for vari-ous reasons, Mr. Dunlap was big-heartedand Mr. File keeps his car.

IDell, IDe Uoted!"I'll bet my house and lot," was the

way one Staley man backed up his opin-ion in the recent presidential electionwhich swept over the country.

"I'll take you up on that," blazed an-other Staley man, and they tried to carryit through, but wives have such funnyideas on election bets that, while the menwere in earnest, they were not able tocarry through.

Some other election bets, not quite sosteep perhaps, went through to the (bit-ter, for Smith followers) end. For in-stance, there was Ira Black of 17 build-ing, who had to take Bill Kossieck fora wheel-barrow ride around the courtduring the noon hour. Bill, one may besure, made quite the most of the oppor-tunity and attracted all the attention pos-sible to his Democratic friend.

It was rumored that Herman Herbertwas to treat Happy Winston in a similarmanner but when he saw a news cameraready and some of his friends lined upto watch, Herman used some coin of therealm and was released from his bet.Happy probably figured that the moneywould do him more lasting good thanthe ride in the court, and maybe he de-cided it was too good an opportunity totear Herman away from a wad of coin.Anyway, Herman paid in some manneror other.

Another disappointed better was EzRoberts of 17 building. Walt Morenzhad challenged him to a foot race andeven suggested a two-block handicap forhimself , but when the time came Waltwas not there. It was at lunch time, soit was decided that Walt preferred hisfood to exercise.

One day not long ago he hung his fish-ing lines in the basement and the dog, ina playful mood, tried eating them. Wheth-er or not Louis had been persuading thedog that fishing lines and hooks werefit for his diet, we do not know, but rumorhas it that the dog did try chewing them.

With the lines he had little or no trou-ble, but with the hooks it was anotherstory again, Mawruss. The crookedthings wouldn't chew up and theywouldn't be swallowed, and finally oneworked its way clear through the dog'slip. Then the shouting and the tumultstarted—and a rush call was sent forLouis.

In his own words: "I worked with thatdog for hours, trying my best to get thathook through one way or the other, butit wouldn't move. Finally I gave up andmuch to my own grief I took the animalto the Dog and Cat hospital. There anoperation was performed and the hookwas removed—likewise a bank note fromme. I sure hated it but this consoles me.The dog, which was formerly worth SOcents, is now valued at $4 for the opera-tion, at reduced rates, was $3.50."

1 Hear In the Ttloon—That Eddie Lonegran is sighing for the good old summer time when the roses are in

bloom;That Sam Seibert, the fortune teller, told him he would be married next summer to a

red headed Stonington girl, so Eddie is happy;That Lonegran has a loving disposition and very bashful . His many friends are try-

ing to cure him of the hugging habit before taking the fatal step.

That Henry Dubes denies the allegation and defies the allegator who says he spilledoil in large quantities on the fan belt in Elevator C:

That he candidly admits he did put about two teaspoonfuls of Castor Oil on the fanbelt one night last week. He says the belt stopped slipping after the oil wasapplied;

That Henry says his prescription for belts and humans in Elevator C is about a pintof Castor Oil daily, and he will give his personal guarantee they will get amove on.

That Jack Fletcher had a miraculous escape from serious injury to himself and familywhen his good Marmon busted her jugular vein north of Monticello;

That Fletcher reports that he was driving at a moderate rate of speed, about sixty-fivemiles per hour, when his pet started coughing. It shook like a branch of a treeon a windy day, and died in a few seconds;

That the body was removed to Decatur where the Post Mortem was held. The ver-dict reads "Blood pressure very low, no axle grease found in body, general neg-lect and much abuse, brakes must have been hard on. Humane Society noti-fied."

That Bill Morrison, Luther Humiston and Cap Whitten are running a neck and neckrace in the contest staged by the fellowship Club, who want one of their corpu-lent members to represent Santa Claus at their annual Christmas festival;

That the consensus of opinion is Bill Morrison would make a jolly Old Elf, LutherHumiston would be a gigantic Santa and Cap Whitten is or might be a Demo-cratic one.

Tiiat it is immaterial which of the three wins. A bunch of alfalfa on their chins andabove their mouth would disfigure them enough to represent Santa in any com-pany.

That Harry Walmsley and Sylvester Ivens are known as the Heavenly Twins in andaround the campus;

That the Siamese Twins were inseparable, the Heavenly Twins are separable. Atfive-thirty every evening they part, at seven a. m. they join;

That Harry loves Sylvester and Sylvester loves Harry. The old saying is "Everyoneloves a lover," so both are beloved.

That Christmas comes but once a year, but when it conies it brings great cheer.

Yours truly,

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
