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.

You get Double Range
Anti-Knock!
ft
Every motorist knows that there are two
important ranges of acceleration where highest
antiknock performance is needed. 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.
Try a complete tankful of the new Double-
Range H-C in your car today. Your nearby
Sinclair dealer sells it at regular price. You will
find it adds to the pleasure of driving and helps
reduce motoring expense as well! Ask for the
new Sinclair H-C.
