expended, and this in spite of the fact
that she had chosen life of single
blessedness.
1t was in her efforts to simplify the
problem of canning fruit that she in
vented the famous vacuum preserving
method known as canning without
cooking" This is the system now
generally employed in the large can
ming factories. This was a really
great invention when judged from it's
results in money and labor saved, and
1t was followed by equally successful
minor inventions.
1t was in this work that Miss Jones
revealed her remarkable mechanical
genius, and she is among the very few
women who have contributed to the
technical engineering and scientific
magazines. Her most recent inven-
tons have been in devices for burning
of liquid fuel for manufacturing pur-
poses and steam generation.

The Indian Troops in winter
From the Manchester Guardian.


How will the Indian troops stand
the continental winter? The answer
should not be in doubt. The martial
races of India come mostly from re-
gions which have a very cold winter,
some from highlands where the pre-
yailing temperature for four or five
months of the year is much lower
than the average winter temperature
of France and Belgium. We have, of
course no official information as to
the constitution of the Indian forces,
but we know that 1t consists largely
of Sikhs and Gurkhas, for neither OF
whom should the cold of Europe have
any terrors whatever. The Gurkha is
essentially O. highlander, accustomed
to the keen air of the Eastern Himal-
ayas and the plateau Of Nepal He
is extraordinarily hardy, suited to al
most any climate, as ready for hard
marching or fighting in the winter as
he would have been for the trials en-
dured by the allied forces in the first
weeks of the war.
AS a soldier and civilian, good for
all kinds of hardship in cold countries,
he has fought in Northern China, and
is to be found several thousand strong
among the settlers of British Column
Dla supporting the IIBOIS VI liic Ndho-
dian winter. His land, the Punjaub,
is country of climatic extremes. the
cold of December and January, as
European visitors to the Durbar
camps at Delhi know well, having a
peculiarly searching quality The
Sikh, moreover, is tempered by his re-
ligious and social tradition, which i'm
poses on him a strict rule of life and
trains him to endure hardship. Still
less misgiving need be felt on behalf
of the Pathans in the Indian contin-
gent, for, coming from the mountains
of the frontier, and used to climates
of every degree of severity, they
should be quite happy in France. As
suming that the Indian soldiers are
as well equipped as their European
fellows with clothes and blankets
they should be equally well able tc
face the winter in Europe.

ton commended the world peace
movement and lent its approval to the

BANKERS WOULD CHANGE LAWS Of TEXAS
Bankers Believe Homestead Exemp-
ton Provisions Can Be Changed to
Benefit the Farmers.

Fort Worth, TeX-1n order to allow
this State to participate in the bene-
fits of the proposed national farm
land bank act the Texas Bankers AS
ISOLATION put itself on record as favor
ing an amendment of the homestead
exemption laws Of Texas at its final
session Thursday.
The action of the association follow
ed the report of Joe Hirsch, chairman
OF the committee on agriculture, who
declared that he took issue with the
suggestion made by Clarence Ousley
in the latter's address to the bankers
that Texas should provide its own
land bank system He declared that
this was not necessary, in his judg-
ment, as he believed that the home
stead exemption law of this State
could be amended in such way that
this State would come under the pro-
visions of the federal land bank act
now pending in congress.
The association unanimously adopt
ed the resolution presented by Hirsch,
providing for the appointment by the
incoming president Of special COM
mittee of three members for the pur-
pose of making careful study Of the
proposed national farm land bank act
with the view of suggesting such
changes in the present system of the
registration of land titles in Texas
and such notifications or amend
ments to the present Texas homestead
law as will permit Texas farmers to
reap advantages of the national farm
land bank act.
J. A. Pondrom of Texarkana, head
of the Texarkana National bank, was
elected incoming president by accla-
nation, there being no other nomina-
tions. In short address of accept
ance he stated that he believed that
perhaps the association was entering
upon crisis in the history of the Or
ganization as a result of the new
eleventh regional reserve district.
Fred w. Hopes of Galveston was
reelected secretary, and Miss Lydia
Littman of Galveston was elected as
sistant secretary by reclamation.
George E. Campbell, cashier of the
State Bank and Trust Company of
San Antonio, was elected treasurer.
The following vice presidents were
then elected, one from each district:
District No. /, Charles H. Streeck,
Beaumont; district No. 2, Karl H.
Word, Mathis; district No. 8, Robert
J. Eckhardt, Taylor; district No. 4,
George S. MCGEE, Waco; district No
5, w. G. Hayes, Mount Pleasant; dis
trict No. 6, w. C. Dew, Goldthwaite,
district No. {, R. H. Collier, Amarillo
An unexpected contest developed
over the selection of the next place
of meeting. However, Waco was

las, San Antonio and Corpus Christi
