New War Widows 0 Here Number 27 32 Second Great War Pension Awards Made by Ottawa up to Beginning of May - At the end of April there were 27 soldiers' wives who have been widowed in Canada since this war broke out last September. In all, about 32 pension awards had up till the beginning of May been made in connection with the cur- rent struggle. Several of the women have been widowed through accidents in training in Canada. PY PAYING FOR LAST WAR Canada is far more "pension minded" today than at the time of the last war, by reason of the experience the Government has bad in the past 26 years. The Gov. ernment has paid out over $962, 000,000 in disability and depend- ent pensions arising out of the Great War, In all, Canada enlist- ed about 660,000 men, and around 60,000 died in action or of wounds, Today there are 79, 876 men in receipt of disability pensions. The. Dominion's annual pension bill is around $42,000,000 apart, of courge, from the vet- erans' allowances. - This annual bill which will continue for some years, yet, does not include the cost of administration, hospital treainient and vocational ttkining given veterans by the Govern nent. } Ancient Menu Much Like Modern Fare .

CHAPTE Rr IX Small logs had been used in building the ceilings of Defiance Castle. Most of them had crumb- - led and rotted, but Dr. Barry was able to get a fairly solid "eross section of one. He studied it in- tently. - "As near as I can tell, study- ing the rings with this pocket glass, this thing dates back about 1200 years," he told the others. "We'll take it in for detailed ane alysis." "It all seems sort of--sacred, "doesn't it?" 'Lissa was impressed with the old clan house and fort- ress. "Just infagine the people that were once here, the busy days, the happiness, and every- thing!" Twelve hundred years! That would be nearly. 800 before Co- lumbus discovered America. What manner of men could have in- kabited the arid southwest then? What language had they? What dress," customs, manners? What color? Whence came they, and where did they go? - -Archacology may be a "dead" science from the schoolroom view- point; it may lack adventure in the library. But it lacks nothing in the field. Even Hades Jones and the muscular Holliman, un- educated in the scholastic sense, felt the spell of exploration and helped with the preliminary meas- urements 4nd surveys. No actual digging was attempted the first day, but when the party descend- ed toward nightfall, everyone was fatigued. Scott Holliman, remembering his bargain with Honey Bee; made an opportunity to begin his love campaign.- He stayed near Mary Melissa on the walk to camp, managed to separate the two of them from the others, "Well, Lissa, how did you like the cliff house?" He began with high confidence. Lissa, astonished, wondered if she heard him correctly. She had been civil to the man heretofore, just as she would have been to a janitor or gardener in New York._ She had been impressed on her MAKE UP WITH OGDEN"S Ogden's Fine Cut heads the cast in the production of or, milder, mellowe: a : cigarette, Roll yourownerswhomake. uw with Ogden's rant cigarette to fo rill reo that this 000 plays the ge "in sifiokingenjoyment.

He Thought Her Shy All at once, though, a new thought struck her. Was Holliman, after all, a "mere" workman? Wasn't he hired rather to be one of a scientific party, on an equal footing with" the others? Was it fair to expect Dr. Barry to main- tain town standards of employers and servants? Hades Jones had been accepted as a social equal, surely. And the West is famous for its democracy, she knew. Holliman mistook her pause for shyness, "and thought she was pleased -at the compliment.

' 'Lissa was furious, insiantly. She would have turned to slap him, and doubtless Mr. Holiman would - have received a classic bawling out from a lady with an excellent if refined choice of words. But Bob Barry chose that moment to turn back and call {u her. > a "The Hammer Worries Me" "That hammer still has me wor- ried," Bob repeated, waiting for 'Melissa and Holliman to catch up with him. "I can't imagine why the rawhide strip wasn't disinte- grated, gone, with all the years, It couldn't be more than a hun. dred or so." . "Maybe Indians explored cave, and dropped it." Mary Melissa forced herself to be calm. She welcomed the inter- ruption, really, until she could have time to think, After all, this party of five persons had to. live together for some wecks. ""No,"" Bob answered, "It's not Indian" make. Not like the wear pons of any tribes in the past few centuries, I'm sure. Théy> had a definite pattern for stone ham- mers, tomahawks and the like, The grooves in this one, which held the rawhide, were different, The shape was unique. And the rawhide was strangely fresh!" He shook his head at the mys- tery. When supper was over that night, talk about the castle was resumed. Only Honey Bee said nothing, Washing the dishes, she hovered near enough to hear, how- ever. "I'm still guessing about the en- trance to that castle, too," Bob repeated. "Those people .were farmers, They simply had to go vp and down often. I'd give a Jot to solve that riddle." . . * the ' Hired Love-making Nobody had any suggesti.ns. They had threshed it cut be iore, without results, When 9:30 came the entire parly went to bed. At breakfast, Bob hay already been up two hours, making en- tries in his notebooks, and out- lining work for the days to come, "First thing, Uncle Hades," ha addressed the- others, "You'd bet- ter take the pack mules- to the spring angl bring back all the wal- er you can. Take it easy. It's a 12.mile jaunt, you kngw. "Holliman, I think you'd better cut some more poles and construct wider and more permanent bunks in our tent houses here, Make Miss Lane's and Horley Bee'd first. We'll need comfortable beds: You might take a chair or two, and a- larger table, if you have a knack for it. We may be here for weeks." . Holliman went out to start for the necessary poles, and Mary Me- lissa went toward the corral to saddle her horse and take a ride. Holliman saw her there alone, and angled across the area, carrying his ax, to speak with Her. Might as well get on with his hired love- making, Besides, after due -eon- sideration, he was liking the idea | very much. He had given it much thought during the night. Bob lingered at the breakfast - table, sketching and making notes. He wanfed a complete record of every move made on this expedi-*; tion. Every piece of pottery, ev- ery bit of rock or artifact: collect- ed, had to be properly classified and labeled. Honey 'Bee brought him more coffee, then lingered. * * * . "Thott 'Are Sure Signs "Bawb?" she ventured, hesi- tantly, She had never -addressed him_so intimately before, but he appeared not to notice. He looked up at her. "I hear you say," she went on, "how you give thee leg. to learn door to cliff house," "Yes, sure. Honey Bee. I mean, it's a scientific point that would be very valuable, if we could settle it. Most of the cliff dwellings ex- plored heretofore had some sort of narrow stairway, cut in rocks usually, or augmented with lad- ders. This one showed no- sign of such, you know." "You do not haff to give thee leg," she informed him, smiling. "Honey Bee save thee leg." "Hunh? You mean--1" looked at her; questioningly. "Last night, in the dark, I take flashlight an go back to castle, I know many Indian signs. I want to look carefully, after what you say after supper." "You went up again, Honey Bee? Alone? In the dark?' He was incredulous, "Yes, For. you. I was not afraid. I know Indian people, Many of our signs are very very old. I look for sign of one long square in another long square. It means door, Maybe you know," "Yes! Yes, the entrance sign! And?" "I find it. On ge castle rocks. I am sure, I think it show "thee secret entrance to thee castle," She paused, rathér impressively, Bob stood up, 'in his excitement, He stared at the Indian maiden, * "I-look here, Honey Bee," he jahbed a finger. af her, beaming.

CHAMBERS - PINEAPPLE CHAT The season for canning pine- apple is now with us again., It is rather a difficult matter to' be sure when pineapples will be at their best,--always there scems to be a diversity of opinion.s My best advice to you is, "Be a canny buy- er and wateh for the best pine apple as well as the best price." By all means "shop" and do mot telephone. I have been requested to repeat the canning methods of last year so | shall give you thé method for first the cooked, and then the un- ing all requirements. The uncook- ed 15 ever a favorite, and if prop- erly done keeps indefinitely and is the ideal way for fruit cups and cocktails, The acid content of fruits plays a considerable part in the keep- ing qualities of fruit when can- ned. Pineapple has a high acid content and as a result does not require the long cooking given to other fruits. Canned pineapple when reported as having too strong a tang or being hard on the throat is usually fruit overly cooked. 1 am giving the oven-cooked method (which so many of you wrote me about last year saying you were delighted with the re- sults.) Oven-Canned Pineapple Always test jars for leakage. Place in kettle and_sterilize thor- oughly. Prepare fruit either in ices or thin half slices, which. ever you desire. Omit any soft or over-ripe fruit. Place fruit in kot sterilized jars. Fill with boiling syrup to within % inch of the top. Place ¢n rubbers, being sure they are néw and sterile, next the glass tops and then screw tops. Screws down tightly to be sure it fits properly, then loosen one turn back to allow for expansion.

If your oven has no heat control use the same slow oven you would for a fruit cake.' The fruit-should never boil rap- idly in the jars. Use a very slow boil (an odd bubble will be no- ticed travelling to the top). If the fruit boils over, the oven is too hot; then place a pan of cold: wat. er in the oven to cool it down, Syrup for Canning Pineapple 2 cups sugar 2 cups water Combine ingredients and bring to the boil.
