The pledge says, in part, that "we mothers are more than happy to join under the Red Cross banner so that our ministrations may be welded into the most effective and significant service to those in need." Other speakers were Maj. Benjamin H.

New Apple Storage Methods Are Introduced By ELSA STEINBERGER these can be maintained in the right proportions. In this atmosphere the apples stop breathing and remain in fine condition.

On removal from storage, they have little flavor and aroma, but this returns within three or four days, as the apples "wake up," at room temperature. The institute has 30 storage chambers in the Hudson Valley of New York, now sending these apples to market. Usually the time required for handling and shipping and getting the This is the story of a storage replace the old apple mant for months, to awaken at the marketing season. Apple growers found that old methods of storing apples in open rooms at 32 degrees F. allowed for considerable deterioration and loss.

Apples breathe and respire, giving off carbon dioxide, flavor and aroma. It was found, however, by the New York and New England Apple Institute, that McIntosh apples kept in "modified air" or "modified atmosphere" became dormant when kept in sealed rooms at 36 degrees as they soon used up the oxygen in the air-tight storage room. The sealed rooms can be tested for oxygen, carbon dioxlide and temperature so that sleeping beauty.

So far, the McIntosh apple is the only type that has responded to this treatment, which extends the season by many months.

Experiments continue, however, with other types of this fruit, so that in the future we may find a greater variety available after the normal season. Brooklyn, we were told, is one of the biggest markets for the McIntosh apple, and you will find a good supply in chain and independent stores from now through the next couple of months. They may be used in many ways.

Write her in care of the Brooklyn Eagle. skimp on the number of curls. By BEULAH FRANCE, R. N. (Q.) "My daughter, aged 9, is in fourth grade.

She has a quick mind and wonderful memory. If her work is read to her she can do it without trouble. But she cannot read well enough to keep up with her classmates, so she's constantly behind. What can we do?" Mrs. J.

L. M. (A.) Teaching a child to read speedily, correctly and intelligently (that is, understanding meaning and remembering the gist of what is read), is of supreme importance. Such preparation for successful livling should never wait until a child of 9 is being handicapped by lack of this essential need. But you have delayed so long the habit is now well established.

You need to consult some one who can study your child personally, discover why she has this difficulty and advise you what to do about it. The counselors at her school should be able to tell you what guidance she needs and who is best fitted to give it. Takes Patience Paul Witty, in his excellent booklet, "Helping Children Read Better," says: "Don't get discouraged! Poor reading can be improved." In the 47 pages of his booklet, which Science Research Associates published, this professor of education explores the subject with surprising thoroughness. He points out that "reading is a complex skill" as well as a most essential one. He emphasizes the need for close co-operation between parents of children and their teacher in an effort to correct such' situations as you describe.

When boys and girls are, at an early age, helped to realize the pleasure to be derived from reading they are anxious and eager to master the art. It is most regrettable to find SO many, many youngsters grow into adolescents without having been given this magic key to the immeasurable amounts of hidden treasures held between the covers of innumerable books.

Formerly the biggest settlement of Finland's natives and their families was in Harlem. These interesting statistics were given me when I visited the office of the Finnish newspaper, Uutiset, on 8th at 44th near Sunset Park. This area is the Finnish settlement and there are upward of 20 Finnish co-operative apartment houses in this section. There also Pare co-operative food stores and other "co-op" enterprises operated by the Finns who appear to be more "co-op" minded than any other race of people.
