P. S. Livingston, Administrator of the estate of W. J. H. Crawford, deceased May 6th, 1940 5-17 - 6-7 H-D COLUMN By MISS ETHEL COUNTS A touch of red in the berry patch— heavy pods on the pea vines—tiny green beans in another garden row— and the curtain rises on the canning scene in many homes. There’ll be a smooth performance if the stage is set, with all the canning equipment checked and ready to do its part. For there’ll be little time to check the pressure cooker or to send for extra jar rubbers, af ter the fruits and vegetables are in the kitchen. A canning budget is a big help in getting ready or the canning season. Records of the canned foods used last year will be helpful. But if you don’t have such records, you can start now to keep some for future use. The family garden should be planted to supply the fruits qnd vegetables for canning, and still leave plenty for daily use while fresh. It’s unwise to \put up” more than the family can eat by next spring, because most canned foods are much better the first year than the second or third. After the canning budget is made, it’s time to check on the supply of jars or cans. Inspect glass jars care fully, and discard any that are crack ed or chipped. If the jars are the lightning type with glass tops, see that the wire clamps fit tightly. If they have become loosened, remove the top wire and bend it down in the middle. If necessary, also bend the sides inward to fit the jar. Next, check to see that you havo enough lids in good condition to go around. Glass lids can be used over and over, unless they are cracked or chipped. Metal lids with a porcelain lining can also be used over, unless the edges are dented or the linings are loose. Fruits and other acid foods are usually processed in a boiling water bath. For this a wa: h boiler, bucket,, or any large container is satisfactory if it has a tight cover and is large enough to hold a convenient number of cans and permit covering them with 1 to 2 inches of water. A steam er or oven can also be used for pro cessing. And then there is the open kettle method that calls for large kettles to cook the fruit or tomatoes, and also to sterlize the jars. For canning vegetables, other than tomatoes, a steam pressure canner is necessary. Vegetables do not con tain much acid, so they must be pro cessed under steam pressure in ord er to obtain the temperature needed to kill the organisms that cause spoilage. The canning budget calls for the following for each member of the family; 22 quarts of tomatoes; 24 quarts vegetables; 24 quarts fruit; and 4 quarts krout. ANCIENT DEATH BATTLE PROVES A MODERN HOAX LONDON, Eng.—For more than half a century a stone axhead buried in a 4,000-year-old animal skull, has been accepted by visitors to the Sedg wick museum at Cambridge as evi dence of a prehistoric battle to the death. But now Maj. Gordon Fowler, re search worker, declares that scient ists, students, lecturers and the pub lic have been duped by a practical joker. While both axhead and skull are authentic, he says they were found separately and the axhead was placed in the skull as a joke. Major Fowler declares that he knows who carried out the joke, but he cannot tell the whole story until five years after the death of the man who perpetrated the hoax. He has been dead 2 years now.

For example, you need knockless power at 10 to 45 miles per hour for acceleration in traffic and 45 to 90 miles per hour for passing other cars and climbing hills. Some gasolines may give high anti-knock in one range but not in the other. But the new Sinclair H-C combines high anti- knock performance in both 'ranges. With the Double'Range anti-knock in H-C you also get other remarkable qualities in performance. You get quick starting — rapid pick-up — smooth power — and long mileage.
