declares belief in the efficiency of the
aeroplane and the submarine as war
instruments in the future. Thus he
affirms confidence that the principal
fighting hereafter will be in the air
or under the water. There is much
of late occurrence to warrant such
an opinion.

Smart Parasol and Dainty Gloves

Parasols are seen in the shops
these days in bewildernig array
of colors-plain, plaid, and
striped. They may match the cos

The picture shows an unusual
one in that it is covered with a
perfectly plain silk of vivid green,
with an extremely long handle

The distinctive feature is the

The Art of Canning Fruit
BY Alice Gitchen Kirk
BY AN EXPERT.

Many questions have come to me
since the first article was writ
ten on canning. These articles
have only one purpose, and that
is to be clear, definite and help
full to the housekeeper; and
want to urge careful reading of
directions given; several times, If
necessary, to have the working
process perfectly clear. And then
follow the recipe to the letter.
Spiced Currants.
Material: Currants, one quart;
sugar, four cups; vinegar, three
fourths pint; ground cloves, one
teaspoonful; ground cinnamon,
one teaspoonful.
Utensils: Porcelain-lined kettle,
measuring cup. tablespoon, tea
spoon, wooden spoon.
Directions: Wash and stem the
currants, then measure and ar
range proportions as given. Put
the vinegar into the kettle with the
sugar, stirring until dissolved. Add
the fruit and spices and boil
slowly two hours, or until it jel-
lies. Watch carefully that 1t does
not burn. Turn when done into
sterilized glasses and finish same
as Jelly.

ner, and all are nice served with
meats.
Raspberry RolypoIy.
Mix together one pint of sifted
flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt.
one teaspoonful sugar and one tea
spoonful baking powder, and rub
in two tablespoonful of butter
Mix with sufficient sweet milk to
make a soft dough, turn out on
a Toured board, work with the
hands for a moment, then roll out
in a sheet one-half of an inch
thick. Spread thickly with black
or red raspberries, sprinkle with
a spoonful or two of sugar, and
roll up like a jelly roll, pinching
the ends to keep in the juice. Lay
on a creased pie plate and steam
for half an hour, then place in
hot oven for 10 minutes to dry
off the crust. Serve with sweet
ened cream or hard sauce. tat
