K 1 \ i *v ' s\r " WAUOOHDA CAN STRING BEAT'S PRESSURE CANNER ^ **•* ? ssss p UGHTS OF NEW YORK GRANT DIXON WAR VET FINDS HE HAS NO COUNTRY String Beans Most Popular I Vegetables. (Tlipill If tha United Stataa PnWhWt - > mt Asricultaie.) The farm garden should be planned to supply a considerable surplus of excellent vegetables and fruits which may be enjoyed later on at little cost If canned when fresh. Of course, the j practical home maker does not waste ! time canning what may be stored, like mature beets, turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, winter squash and pumpkin, or vegetables that may be dried, such as okra and large lima beans. String beans are among the most popular and satisfactory of an the home-canned vegetables. Only the steam pressure canner should be used to process them. (Processing means heating the material to kill bacteria.) All vegetables except tomatoes require processing at higher temperatures than boiling. This can only be done under steam pressure. Either glass or tin containers may be used. String beans and all vegetables should be packed boiling hot. That iq, they are cooked for a few minutes «h'd then, while Still boiling, packed into the jars, sealed, and processed the required length of time. This Is sometimes called the "hot pnok" Tt Is recommended by the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture because the beans at the center of the container are quickly raised to the temperature required for processing, and the bacteria that cause spoilage are more likely to be killed. The following directions for canning string beans, as well as for canning most other common vegetables and fruits, are given in farmers' Bulletin 1471-F, "Canning Fruits and Vegetables at Home." Pick the beans over carefully, string, wash thoroughly, and cut Into pieces of the size desired for serving. Add enough boiling water to cover, and boil for five minutes in an uncovered vessel. Pack In containers boiling hot, cover with the water in which they were boiled, and add one teaspoonful of salt to each quart. Process immediately at ten pounds pressure, or 240 degrees Fahrenheitquart class jars for 40 ruinates pint glass Jars for 35 minutes, and No. 2 and No. 3 tin cans for 30 minutes. Remove from the canner and invert glass Jars, placing them oat of drafts. Plunge tin cans in cold water to cool quickly. t ALL-IN-ONE DRESS ^ FOR LITTLE GIRL Child Will Learn How I Manage Garment. to (fnnni fcr th« United Stat* DapartaMBt of Agriculture. I The fewer clothe^ in hot weather, the more comfortable the child. Up to about three or three and a half years old a romper is often the only garment necessary on either a boy or >a girl; but as the little girl grows older she looks better in -a--eostume with a skirt of some sort, however abbreviated. The bureau of.home economies of the United States Department of Agriculture has beefi working foraeae Self-Help idea Runs Through Design Shown in Illustration. time on various problems connected iwith dressing children of different ages, but especially those of the pre- |school years. The self-help idea runs ithrough all the designs chosen. Garments tliat button in front with few and eaay-to-tlnd Pat buttons or other forms of fastening are preferred. If there must be buttons In back at the | waistline two toward the sides are uwd rather than a single center-back 'button. Every mother knows how often that center-back button has to ibe* sewed on or the buttonhole mended. I Not only can the child reach side-back 'buttons better, but there is less strain and pull on the shoulders when they are used. Easy making and easy laundering are also points kept constantly in mind . in planning children's clothing. Here is an all-ia-one outfit for a little girl to wear on hot days. It eliminates the need for undergarments, yet has the outward"appearance of a dress. It is made in two parts, with a detachable plaited skirt for easy laundering. The self-help idea is emphasized, since the dress has an Invisible front opening, snapping together under the blue front trimming. The child can also learn very quickly to buttoh the skirt onto the waist before she puts the dress on, if she is once shown how the box plait comes In the middle of the front. The seven buttons on the skirt are arranged so that there are two side-back buttons and none In the center back. The buttonholes are made vertical so the buttons will stay closed. A kimona style romper pattern was chosen, with a seam on the shoulder, and very short sleeves. Except where the collar-like trimming closes at the center front, it Is stitched flat, fitting the outline of the neck. The panty part of the romper has an Invisible drop seat, and is made on a fold of the goods to give ample room through the crotch, and the very short legs are bound with plain blue material like the little skirt, the neck and arm* hole trimnping and the top of the pocket Tomato Cheese Whoopee Especially Delicious A generation ago it was probably called a "rarebit" of Welsh or other descent, but the modern tendency to apply the latest catchword to every-1 thing has turned it Into "whoopee," which happily gives one a feeling that the dish is sure to be enjoyed. The bureau of home economics says It makes not only a good lunch or supper dish, but an appetizing and quickly made meal after a long all-day motor trip or day on the water. 2 tbs. butter % cup finely est celery Vfc green pepper. chopped fine % cup chopped on- A Commercialised Cupid New York.--There Is a man in the r.ronx--Pincus Wallach, of No. '2015 >' rand Oonoonrsp in big identity, should you ever become interested, who arranges marriages on a large scale.

Locke, the puthor of 32 novels, who recently came to New York after six months In Hollywood. He dislikes cold water, hates tea, doesn't play golf, can't play bridge, and never takes strolls in the country, nor does he wear a monocle. However, he betrays his nationality by berating our social life and customs. What surprised hfm was that residents of New York and Hollywood think they have a riotous time staying up now and then until 6 a. jn. Why, says Mr. Locke, over In England. we oft^n stay up at^night and sleep by day. But our answer isf that Mr. Locke must be mistaken. The heavy fog in London deceives him so that ny day he thinks it is night, and at night he thinks it is merely a foggy day; or something incoherent like that • r i Concentrating Cultare About that city of culture which Is to be erected on the Palisades. Since all residents must ^show college diplomas (if they can find them) what will happen if a college man marries a girl with less than a high school education? And I suppose the dignified and Intellectualized homes will not be called love nests, but culture nests. The New Yorker, a "cultured" magazine, chiefly for the consumption of local sophisticates, put it in the right light, when it said: "Our idea of a cultured person Is a person who doesn't want to live in a community of cultured persons." • • • Beautiful, but Not Exclusive Poor old Riverside drive! I love it and so mourn its departed glories. Its beauty remains but like the beauties of a deserted castle. The park is well kept, the apartments are all shiny, and the Hudson that sweeps before it is as sparkling as ever. But about it hang the cobwebs of social decay. Society, when it concentrated in Park avenue and vicinity, left the beauties of the drive behind. I cannot understand. Perhaps the cold formality of Park avenue Is better representative of moneyed dignity. Today the drive is almost barren of social register names--if that matters. • • • Daylight Saving If I remember rightly, the original Idea behind daylight saving was to allow people to tinker with their "war gardens." In New York state the rural communities stick to the oldfashioned time, and New York city takes np daylight saving. But where are the gardens. Oh, yes, the roof, gardens!

Earn Belfast, without a Ireland.--Virtually a man couritry, an American who fought for Britain in the World war Is singing In the streets of Belfast, accompanied by his wife, In a desperate effort to keep body and BOUI together. He has made two round trips across the Atlantic trying to re-enter the land where he was born. He was turned back at Ellis island, and the emigration • officials at Liverpool sent him back to America again because they thought the American authorities had no right to refuse him permission to land. George Young was born in Rhode Island and has the birth certificate to prove It. At the age of eighteen he decided to see the world. He was In Ireland at the outbreak of the World war*and joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers. During months of fighting ih France Young was wounded three times and given the military medal for bravery under fire. He remained in the army until 1923, when he was given an honorable discharge and started't6 work on a farm near Belfast. • Things went nicely with the soldier of fortune and he received money from his family. In America to pay his passage home. He had no difficulty getting aboard ship when he ,showed his birth certificate. But it was a different story at EllfS island. - ThA emigration officials held that the oath of allegiance to the British flag, taken when he joined the fusiliers, made him an alien, and that he wodld have to await his turn on a quota passport. The State department upheld the decision of the Ellis island officials and Young returned to Liverpool. From there he was shipped to New York once more, and back again. He finally reached Belfast, but has been unable to find work. "To make things worse," Young said, "ail my papers. Including my birth certificates, were retained by the steamship company and sent to New York in connection with the charge against the company of bringing me to America without a visa. I cannot get a passport until my papers are returned. It seems unfortunate that I cannot return to America, because I fought for Brltainr* If I finally get a passport, I will have to wait my turn on the quota. In the meantime I suppose I shall have to keep ip ainE'rajf In the streets." ' v Have bur One Stomach; Siamese Twins Starve Newark, N.

An Illusion Smashed, Flea Circuses Fakes Houston, Texas.--Scientific experiments conducted with fleas have proved to Dr. M. A. Stewart, Rice institute professor, that fleas are dumb and that flea circuses are fakes. Doctor Stewart is conducting experiments to discover actions of fleas with bubonic bacilli. His explosion of the flea circus hoax came1 by accident _ "The so-called flea trainers provide the intelligence they claim fleas have," said Doctor Stewart. "They have platinum wires so thin about the fleas'.necks that it takes microscopes to see them. The trainers attach the free ends of these wires to their fingers. Then they can make them go through their tricks on the stage. "To make them 'waltz' they tie tw fleas together. It's the most nature thing in the world for the insects, in trying to get away from each other, to skip around the table. That's the waltz. "Making a flea play a miniature musical instrument is more difficult. They glue the flea to the table on its back and make a noise. With a piece of paper glued to its legs, the flea kicks about trying to right itself. That's when it plays the Instrument." In his experiments, Doctor Stewart uses the same kind of. platinum wlr« to prevent the fleas from escaping, / j Charles August is spending his vacation in New/ York. Mr. and M!rs. C. A.

Sullivan and Bob Fltzsimmons. Surprise was general when Berry paid $50 for the antiquated memoir of "the good old days," but his Judgment was vindicated by a post-purchase Inspection of the bar. Behind It he found pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters--even half dollars-- totaling approximately $150. Berry explained he had itfade the purchase with the recollection that patrons of preprohibition days often tossed their change behind the bar Instead of pocketing it.
