Easy to Make Good Jelly
Modern Housewife Wlio Assigns This Task to Herself
Has a Far Easier Time of It Than Did
Her Old-Fashioned Sister.
Modern Jelly making Is usually no
longer an event which keeps the
housewife In the kitchen from morn
ing until night and which shuts out
all other activities. At least this Is
the case nround city markets, where
one can get usually as good or al
most as good a bargain for half a
dozen boxes of berries as for a crate.
Also It has been proved that a
small amount of Jelly can be made
with much more certainty of result.
Of course. If you find a bargain you
can cook your fruit, let your Juice
drip, put Into half-sealed hot cans
and heat then' ten minutes In a hot
water bath, finish the seal and put
the Juice away to use whenever you
like.
The use of commercial pectin has
had much to do with the increase In
the amount of Jelly made by the In
experienced housewife. She finds
that If she follows the directions
which come with the product she
will always get tender but firm Jelly,
and that gives her confidence. Just
a few boxes of berries, combined
with the proper amount of pectin
and sugar, are all that are needed
for a goodly number of glasses.
If you realize that bottled pectin
is really concentrated apple Juice you
will understand that your final
product when made with this will
really be a combination Jelly. He
cause the method of using this pectin
calls for little cooking, the natural
flavor of the fruit you are ..using is
preserved and you obtain a Jelly of
delicate flavor.
If you prefer a more concentrated
Jelly you may get this by making It
according to the orlglnol method,
which is made more certain of re
sults by testing the Juice for its
pectin contents, which dlfTer In vari
ous fruits and which depend as well
upon the ripeness of the fruit. The
less ripe contain more pectin, than
the riper fruits. Certain fruits, such
as raspberries and peaches, lack this
necessary pectin, needed to Jelly by
themselves. These Juices must be
combined with other juices, such as
currant, apple or green grape or with
commercial pectin.
Whatever method you use, first of
all you must prepare the Juice.
Wash the fruit well. Cut large fruit
and put Into a large, heavy kettle
with little water. Put berries In ket
tle and smash with wooden spoon to
draw out Juices. Then cook fruit un
til soft. Pour Into a thick Jelly bag
of flannel or double cheesecloth, tie
and let drtp. If you are thrifty you
will then take the pulp, add a little
water and make a second extraction,
cooking It again and allowing It to
drip. This extraction is not quite as
clear as the first and It does not con
tain quite as much pectin. You may
combine It with the first or cook It
separately.
You are now ready to mix the
Juice with pectin according to direc
tions or to test the Juice for pectin
to make It by Itself. We no longer
use the old jelly formula, "a cup of
sugar to a cup of Juice." We take a
tablespoon of hot juice and put It In
a glass, add an equal amount of al
cohol nnd let It stand for a few min
utes. If the Jelly which forms Is stifT
enough to lift It on the spoon with
out breaking, we moy use a cup of
sugar to a cup of Juice. If the Juice
Is Jellied but separates Into pieces
when you pick it up, three-quarter
cup of sugar to a cup of Juice. If
you do not get either of these tests,
don't try to make Jelly without the
addition of extra pectin.
After your sugar Is added, stir co
stantly until It Is dissolved, nnd then
cook until you get a good Jelly test.
This Is shown by dipping In n spoon,
holding It sldewlse and allowing the
Juice to drip off. When two drops
will remain hanging side by sldo.
the Jelly Is ready to pour Into the
glasses. It should be skimmed Just
before nnd at no other time.
If you hove made Jelly with com
mercial pectin, you will put It In
glasses as you would the other. The
next step Is to cover It with o thin
layer of scalding hot melted par
nffln. When It Is cool nnd set, per
haps the next day, add another layer
of paraffin, ('over the Jelly nnd do
not worry If your tops are loose. The
old-fashioned pasted paper covers
ara perfectly satisfactory.
Now a recipe for apple Jelly. The
above Instructions should be fol
lowed. The addition of a hit of cin
namon or of gome other fruit Juice
Is advisable, as apple Jelly Itself In
j rattier tint. The Julee cnn also be
used as a basis for mint Jelly and do
you remember the old-fashioned rose
geranium Jelly that your grand
mother made? The leaves of the
geranium are boiled, as are mint
leaves, with the Julee before the
sugar Is added. Mint Jelly Is col
ored green with vegetable coloring
before putting In the glasses.

Glass Jars for
Canning of Food
Success Depends Largely
on Containers Used
in Process.
The success of canning Is In large
measure dependent upon the perfec
tion of the containers Into which the
prepared foods are put. It Is Inter
esting and a hit amusing to realize
how well established the word can
ning has become In the lore of food
preservation. No longer are cans
used In home canning, and In very
many Instances they are discarded
In commercial canning of foods.
Glass Jars have gradually taken the
place of tin cans, ye no one speaks
of "Jarring" vegetables and fruits.
The word "can" seems to have come
to stay. It certainly Is a pleasanter
expression to term the articles
canned foods, rather than "Jarred"
foods, or glassed foods, and pre
served foods Is a misnomer. Yet one
day In the past the term canned
vegetables must have sounded as odd
as does "Jarred" vegetables and
fruits to our unnccustomed ears.
It Is glass Jars, therefore, with
which we deal now. These are of
two kinds: those with screw-on tops
and those with clamped tops. The
latter are In highest favor for home
use. although they have no better
feature of perfection In food pres
ervation. By the predomlnence of
screw-on tops In commercially
canned products, the preference by
canning concerns Is noted. Less cost
enters Into this consideration. The
Imperative matters, whatever the
type of cover, are that the tops fit
airtight at the right moment In the
process of canning, and thnf they re
main so Indefinitely.
When Jars have screw-on tops the
person putting up the commodity
must turn each top until It Is abso
lutely firm and secure. The rubber
between the Jar and cover must be
pressed down until there Is no pos
sibility of air from Inside escaping or
of outside air getting Into the steri
lized contents. Either Is ruinous to .
food conservation. Much spoilage of >
home-canned commodities has been ]
caused by Ill-fitting tops. The little '
device which comes for? removing
screwed Jar tops Is equally well
suited to screwing on the tops; It
takes less manual work to secure
these tops to Jars when this device
Is used.
Clamped-on tops are correctly ad
Child's First Three Years
Character Then Developed Lasts Through Life; Writer
Cites a Case Which Would Seem to Prove
Truth of Jesuitical Theory.
By L. F. IIAMSEY, National Kin
dergarten Association.
Ursula has Just been to see me.
She Is n young composer, In the twen
ties, of whom the world will hear.
And when recognition comes, as It
surely will, no one will be more
thrilled than I, who had a share In
developing this musical genius,
Please notice that I said, only, "in
devoloplng."
In the beginning, It Just happened.
I used to practice the p^ano each
morning during the time Ursula's
Nannie was having breakfast, and
from the age of three weeks the haby
was brought Into the room and Iny
there while I played. It made no dif
ference whether she was awake or
asleep; she never cried. When she
wns able to sit up I was startled one
morning to see her swaying back
wards and forwards to the rhythm
of the music.
At six months old, she sang her
first musical Rounds, two notes at
(he Interval of n third, In imitation
of the sound made by the swinging
of a hanging lamp. At eleven months
old, she sang the first phrase of a
song, of which I had Just played the
Introduction ? a phrase which did
not occur In the pianoforte part.
Ursula now began to show strong
likes and dislikes. Mendelssohn's
"I, led No. 10" In B minor was a fa
vorite and she always chuckled when
I played It. Heller's "Studies" ap
pealed to her and Handel's "Har
monious Blacksmith." Before she
was a year old, she surprised every
body by anatchlng at a copy of her
brother's "Little Folks" which con
tained a page of music, shouting glee
fully : "Plan', plan'."
A pile of old magazines wnr
brought and she picked out th? page
of music from each one, with the
same cry. She now began to Identify
me with the Instrument, calling out:
"Plan', plan'," directly she caught
sight of me. At twenty-two months,
she could sing fifteen songs, such as
"Since First I Saw Your Face," and
other old English songs.
She never wearied of listening.
One Sunday afternon, I played to her
for over three hours, and she sat hy
the piano In her high chair listening
Intently nnd occasionally volunteer
ing a comment: "I)nt welly Jolly!"
or asking. "What dat called?"
One ot those popular airs that
spread throughout the world like an
epidemic was all the rage and I
played It over one day to Ursula, he
fore she was two. She was standing
by the piano and had never before In
terrupted me, but before I had sung
two lines she protested: "No, no."
Then, as I paid no attention, she
threw herself face downwards on the
floor, sobbing out: "Baby not lik'?!"
It was Just about this time that her
brother had a humming-top that was
not In tune and Ursula would howl
with her hands to her ears If she
heard It. Me thought It a Joke, but
It was no Joke to a child with a
musical temperament.
At two years old, Ursula recog
nized any of Beethoven's sonatas and
would find the one she wanted In
the volume. She began then to rec

when the final clamping Is d<.be, the

TRACES DESCENT
OF BIRDS FROM
FLYING REPTILES
All birds descended from flying
reptiles with teeth, ncc*ordlng to Dr.
Alexander Wetmore, assistant secre
tary of the Smltlisonlun Institution.
He has trnced the family history of
the birds back to the grotesque
archeopteryx and archeornls. nature's
first attempts at bird making. At
the top of the scale of evolution are
the songbirds, while the most primi
tive birds living today are the os-_
trich and the penguin.
The story of the Wright brothers
Is well known. Rut how did the first
flying reptile manage to "take off?"
There were few airports at that time
and those were not equipped with
modern safety devices. None of the
animals or reptiles bnd made a trans
Atlantic flight or a Journey to the
stratosphere and there were no birds
to soar and glide gracefully through
the air. Flying existed only In the
mlnd'B eye of the lowly though Im
aginative reptile, and while It had a
good set of teeth, It could not use
them In such an undertaking.
This happened about 150,000.000
years ago, and we are frequently re
minded that evolution can accomplish
wonders In millions of years. Rut
It cannot be rushed. The copper
heads. rattlesnakes, water moccasins
and black snakes of the Ozark s have
never sprouted wings, nor has any
one of them ever been heard to sing
like a mocking bird. Their offspring
always lack both the ambition and
the ability to fly. Rut that does not
mean they will always remain as
they are, unless. Indeed, evolution
sometimes runs Into a blind alley, a
possibility suggested by Doctor Wet
more himself.
He ventures the opinion that birds |
may have reached the end if the evo
lutionary road, because he says, civ- i
illzed man Is disturbing the natural I
conditions of the earth. And if birds
will hever become reptiles, perhaps
reptiles will never become birds. ?

The .Jesuit who was confident that
if he might have the care of a child
during its early years he need not
fear the Influence of any later en
vironment has given us food for
thought. Ursula seems to support
ills theory. She will always choose
the companionship of good music.
She is a genius, doubtless, because of
inheritance, though we know not
from what ancestor or ancestors, but
her cultured taste ? who can doubt
that such Idealistic discrimination
is the result o flier early education?

Fashion Sells Women
Things Not Required?
By O RETT A PALMER. Woman's
Page Editor, New York "Worlil
Telegram.
"There nre hardly any women In
the United States who haven't enough
dresses and coatR nnd accessories to
at least keep them warm and de
cently clad. One of the things we
have to remember constantly is that
we are selling women things -they i
don't need to have," said a lending
dry goods merchant in a hurst of
candor.
And there you have the paradox
of fashion, neatly wrapped in cello
phane and handed to the customer.
It Is the astonishing feat of modern
merchants that they can Induce
women to go without their lunches
nnd walk to work In order to buy a
hat they do not need and would
never have wanted If they had not
been shamed Into it by the imaginary
t.vrnnt ? Fashion.
Men are never tired of asking why
we do it. And usually they support
their contention of man's greater
mental poise by proudly showing a
tailor's mark In the suit they are
wearing, proving that It was made
In 102,". So far as we know there Is
only one answer to make, and that
is to explain to them Vehlen's Theory
of Waste and plead guilty to the
charge of snobbery It Involves.
This theory, mesdames, states that*
as soon as a man or woman has more
money than Is needed for the regu
lation comforts and necessities of a
well-ordered existence the unspent
Income begins to worry him. He has
worked hard for that money, and he
wants the world to know he has It.
(It Is a vulgar Impulse, but there
It Is.)
What can he do? lie can buy
something he doesn't really need or
intrinsically desire, Just to show that
he can afford it. Fie will buy slx
automoblles, although It is obvious ,
that he can ride In only one at a |
time. He will build n fiO room house ,
nnd live In one wing of It. He will
buy Rembrnndts, even If he does not
care for paintings and diamonds
that he cannot tell from glass.
After a few generations the
wealthy usually grow accustomed
to the fact that they are rich and are
lftss Interested In advertising the
fact. They can then shed their os
tentation and stop ? buying things
they do not want nnd begin to enjoy
themselves. Rut in almost every in
stance you will still find them con
suming a great many-more things
than they enjoy consuming because
a certain amount of waste Is de
manded by the conventions which
surround their lives.
It is on this foundation that fash
Ion rests. Formerly It was possible
for a woman of high degree to buy
silks and satins which were prohib
itively expensive. Their very fragil
ity marked them as wasteful and
snobbish possessions, for their ap
