Mrs. Hilgenfeld and Mrs Louise Oelke mother of Mrs. Fackiner, were co-hostesses. Covers were laid for 18 at a long table appropriately decorated in Flay Day colors of red, white and blue. The artistic centerpiece further carried out the motif in the use of blue larkspur red canna lilies and white snap dragons and gladioli. The lighted On the left sleeve of the uniform worn by passenger conductors, brakemen and flagmen are the insignia indicating length of service; a star for twenty-five years, a bar for each five years. The proud possessors of "stars and bars" help to form the solid foundation of a railroad's personnel. Because of their intimate knowledge of operating rules, equipment and facilities...the many situations and problems they have met and solved...they are of tremendous assistance to younger men. Among the 65,000 Union Pacific employees there are approximately 7,000 "old timers"—representing all departments—with twenty or more years of service. These experienced employees have, in a large measure, been responsible for the enviable record maintained by Union Pacific in the face of wartime conditions. The transportation of many thousand trainloads of troops and materials over the Strategic Middle Route, uniting the East with the West Coast, calls for the wisdom and cool judgment of maturity coupled with the ambition and tireless energy of younger employees. Union Pacific is proud of all its employees, regardless of length of service, for the job they are doing to help speed the hour of victory. ANAHEIM GAZETTE C.C.

Pycnometers and Jiggelometers The scientists in the Exchange Research Department, besides being top-flight men in citrus research, are great ones for thinking up gadgets! Went out to the Ontario laboratories the other day to see some of these in action. The first gadget they demonstrated for your reporter was a little wooden panel with some test tubes in it and a rubber bulb at one side. Seems the packing houses had had trouble checking on the ventilation in lemon storage rooms. So the research men worked out this "Carbon Dioxide Tester." Now all a Sunkist packing house man has to do is go into a lemon storage room with one of these gadgets, hold it up to the light, squeeze the bulb a couple of times, and the color in the test tubes tells him right away if the air is okay or if it is going dead and endangering the fruit. To test the sugar and acid content of orange juice, you use a standard amount: 25 cubic centimeters. To get that amount exactly, you'd measure and cuss and measure again. One scientist got so annoyed, he invented a little glass jar with a steepe-shaped stopper. Field men call it a jug; scientists, a modified pycnometer. Now you simply fill one of these jars with juice, and push in the stopper. The excess juice squirts out through a hole in the stopper—and what's left is exactly 25 c.c. Speeds up the work so much that Sunkist field inspectors can now make this important test in a jiffy. One of the neatest gadgets, nick-named the "jiggelometer," grew out of a need for more accurate grading of pectin. Pectin is graded according to how perfect a jelly it makes. But how to measure accurately anything as full of shimmy as jelly? After many tries, two of the men found a way. The perfect jelly, after standing awhile, will sag just so much. They took a little device called the Ridgelimeter and redesigned it to give a quick, accurate measure of sag. While your reporter watched, a research man slid a gleaming mound of jelly into the machine. He turned a screw, causing a metal point to descend slowly until it just touched the top of the jelly. That was all. A reading of the numbers on the calibrated screw gave In pottery and china there is beauty and originality, both in design and workmanship. ness . . simple, artistic beauty and seren-various effects, and beautiful jugs, as well as exquisite designs of American china-ware.

They took a little device called the Ridgelimeter and redesigned it to give a quick, accurate measure of sag. While your reporter watched, a research man slid a gleaming mound of jelly into the machine. He turned a screw, causing a metal point to descend slowly until it just touched the top of the jelly. That was all. A reading of the numbers on the calibrated screw gave him the exact grade of the pectin. The million pounds of pectin made last year by the Exchange products plants were grade-tested by this new, fast, accurate method. W. E. Baier, head of the department, is very modest about the many useful contrivances his staff have developed, speaks of them as mere "by-products of the by-products." And it's true they don't indicate the scope and importance of the department's main work, which will be described in another column soon. But they do illustrate one thing that's mighty important to the growers. The 14 scientists who make up the Exchange Research Department staff are down-to-earth, practical men. They make things work. They are at the service of the entire Exchange; and there's scarcely any phase of the Exchange operation that doesn't move more efficiently, economically and productively because of their help. There's no such group of men in any other California citrus marketing organization. This department is another of those advantages made possible only by cooperation, by many growers working together.
