Mr. and Mrs. Harry Chambers are the proud parents of a baby girl, born ' Sunday, June 27, at the Elizabeth | Condeil hospital in Libertyville. Mr. and Mrs. George Scheid, Jr., of Wauconda spent Monday evening at the Dowell Brother's home. Mr. and Mrs. Walter, Carlson and family of Chicago visited Mr. and Mrs. Harry Chambers Monday.

Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball fl|re Lloyd Fisher Monday Lights of NewVork by L. L.

After the jars have stood twelve v ."/.T* .-or fifteen hours, the bands are re- • 'moved and used to seal more-jars s lids and rubbers, thus rng a little metal go a long way. That's, one reason Government officials smile upon home canners who use glass top seals. Another good top seal for Mason jars is the two-piece metal cap, called vacuum seal. The lid is slightly dome shaped, lined with white enamel and has a rubber sealing compound around the outer edge to take the place of a regular jar ring--(don't let anybody fool you-- all sealing compounds contain rubber). If one is using old-fashioned open kettle (never use this method for canning vegetables), the lids are boiled a few minutes to sterilize, but need only to be dropped into boiling water and kept hot if the jars of food are to be placed in a canner for processing. After the lid is placed on the jar, the metal band is screwed tight once for allr Retighteninfe the band after the jars are taken out of the canner is likely to prevent sealing. The bands are removed from the jars twelve or fifteen hours after the canning is done and used to seal more lids on other jars. Jars sealed with two-piece metal caps are suitable for all types of canning except oven--a tightly ahead of time and kept irt one of ; Mr. and Mrs. Robert True and famthose glass jars that can't be used • ily of Waukegan were Sunday visitors for. home-canning.

The w__. n, , wires used on one nationally known brand are of heat-treated, high-tension, stretch-proof, spring steel. This is the ideal jar for home canning any year because it is so easy to seal. The rubber is placed on the sealing surface or shoulder, the lid comes next, then the upper bail wire is pushed up until it rests in the groove in the top of the lid. Pay no attention to the lower wire, it takes care of itself until after the jars are Mrs. John Baumruk and son, Bobbie, of Berwyn are spending t a few days here at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank St. George. Mrs. Sarah Fisher is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Leslie Davis, at Slocum's Lake for a few days. Mrs. Frank King visited Mr. and Mrs. Robert True in Waukegan Thursday.

Live! the purpose of oil transmission, is being hustled on its way from the Midwest to the eastern seaboard by approximately 750,000 pounds of dynamite. It will cross 13 large rivers, go over mountain ranges, and through valleys. About 1,000 pounds of explosives will be used for every mile where the rock and stone prevent shovels from scooping out the earth. Blasting ditches in the bottom of rivers is one of the time-saving and expert techniques developed by explosives specialists. With the help of boats, barges, drills, dredges and other paraphernalia', holes are drilled in the right of way across the stream. Gelatin dynamite which works efficiently under water is employed to load the holes. When every detail of the preliminary work is completed, the shots are connected to leading wires, equipment moved out of danger and the blast fired. The pipe is ready to be lowered as soon as the curtain of water and the debris which has been hurled in the air have stopped. Section by section the river is thus crossed in a fraction of the time possible by any other methods known to man. Tongues of the victims of the grade crossing accident shown here were wagging faster than the wig-wag warning signal as the car approached the grade crossing-- wagging so fast the three occupants of the car didn't see the crossing watchman either, holding his STOP sign high. Two of the talkers were killed When the train hit them, including the driver, the car was badly damaged and the train delayed one hoar. The surviving occupant of the car said all three had 1>een conversing, diverting the driver's mind from concentration on what always should be a full-time job for a driver--dtfving his car. The National Safety Council is conducting a special campaign to stop these accidents, which every day delay 38 trains a total of 22 hours -- a blow at transportation facilities which the nation cannot afford, least of all in wartime. ~ Good Breakfast Helpful Eat a good breakfast to start a 1 good day is a wise rule at any time, [ but especially in a wartime winter. • Every active growing child needs to break his fast with foods for energy and body building. Workers on active duty on the farms, in the factory, or around the house also need foods that will stand by until noon. Office workecs may not need so many calories as those who use their muscles, but they, too, can benefit • from a good breakfast including a ' variety of lighter foods. Even elderly people in the home often profit from a substantial meal first thing : ui the morning, since many prefer ' not to,take.a heavy meal before bed- Quebec City Quebec City is 165 miles from Montreal, and may be reached by rail or boat. v'NU Service) 4 Uptown and Downtown: Doris Dowling and Diana Davis of "New Faces," sporting new fezzes at the 51 Club . . .

Answer: If the right kind of coloring is used, powdered color mixed with the concrete when the floor is made i$ permanent and will not wear off. However, the color should be of a special kind that is proof against the effects of lime in the cement. . Lime-proof colors are on sale and should be insisted on. They should not be used in a greater proportion than 10 per cent of the weight of the cement. For; a floor that/is not in contact; with, the earth and therefore permanently dry,. 90Ior' ean be had with ordinary top quality floor enamel. The manufacturers' instructions should be Carefully followed. A penetrating dye made for the purpose can also be had. ; Damp Walls Question:' My house is stucco oh hollow tiles. The wallpaper in many places .shows wet spots the shape of the tiles. What can I do about it? Answer: The inside plaster is evidently applied directly to the tile, instead of being applied on lath on furring strips. The plaster therefore, becomes as cold as the tile, and the wet spots are due to condensation-. The only real way to cure the trouble is to replaster the house, using lath on furring strips, or a form of. insulating board, to be had at a" lumber yard, to be applied over your present walls. No form of paint or any outside treatment will do, for neither one will provide the insulation (hat is necessary. „ Broken Birdbath Question: What will mend & broken birdbath? The bowl cracked in the frost. What will stick it together so that it will hold water? Answer: Bring the bowl into the house so that it will dry out. Then coat both sides of the break with white lead paste and bind the parts tightly together. After hardening, which will take three months or so. the joint will be watertight. If you do not want to wait as long as-that, and a yellowish tinge of the cement iriakes no difference, make a cement powdered litharge and ordinary glycerine. This acts quickly and is thoroughly waterproof when dry. Removing Wallpaper ; • Question: Can wallpaper he tf* moved from plasterboard? Answer: That could be done by soaking with water, but using no more water than will be needed. If you use too much, you may soak off the paper finish of the plasterboard. At best, the plasterboard surface will be left rough. To smooth it, put t>nr a coat of shellac, which in drying, will stiffen the paper surface of the board, which can then be rubbed smooth with sandpaper. It is. then ready for papering.

Waxed Floors Get Dull •Question: What is the best way to care for my waxed floors? They lose their shine so quickly after being waxed and polished with an electric polisher. Answer: Perhaps you have used too much wax. Remove it, then ap ply two thin, even coats, polishing each one well after hard-drying. Fre quent waxing should be necessary only at doorways.

Answer: With proper connections a horizontal tank attached to the eel- 1 lar ceiling, and as high as above the heating cQil, provides better- circulation than a vertical tank; i Water circulates more readily and j flews in greater volume.
