YES, WORKERS WOULD KICK IF
HOURS WERE REDUCED

Most of the men working for the
United Steel Corporation would not
be satisfied to work less than II
hours day. If we reduced the hours
of employment of our men, many of
them would leave US to 60 and work
for someone eIse."- Judge Ebert H..
Gary, boss of the steel trust, to the
board of directors last night.
You certainly have got to hand it
to Ebert when it comes to handing
out the bull, haven't you?
Can't you just imagine the howl of
protest that would go up from those
thousands of underpaid, overworked
steel workers, if the trust were to go
daffy and reduce it hours for days
work from twelve to eight?
Can't you see the workers wives
sobbing their hearts out because
their husbands would only have to
work eight hours instead of twelve
in the heat of the furnaces?.

PROPERLY MADE GRAPE JUICE
SteamIng Is Considered Better Than
Stewing If Best Results Are
to Be Obtained.

There is something worth remem-
bering about the making Of grape
juice, contributed by student OF do
mestic science: Crush and steam the
grapes, instead of crushing and stew
ing them, as was the old method. 10
the crushed fruit add one quart OF wa
ter to every 16 quarts of grapes, and
place the kettle containing them over
a second kettle containing hot water.
1t is claimed that the substitution OF
steaming for stewing does fuller JUS
tice to the grape. After they nave
been rendered thoroughly tender, pour
the cooked fruit into the jelly bag and
let it drip over night. By morning the
sediment will have settled at the bot
tom and the clear top can be poured
off. The juice is now ready for bot
ling. After il has been strained into
bottles (glass fruit jars may be used to
Us gcod advantage) covers and rub
bers are put on and the bottles are set
on rack in the boiler, or on the shell
of the steam cocker If you use the
boiler. or kettle. add cold water un-
til it comes up about two inches on
the bottle or jar. Bring the water
gradually to the boiling point, and let
the boiling continue from 80 to GO min
1tes. according to size Of jar. Seal the
bottles. and the juice is ready to store.
