Second Base PLAY,

Second base is called the "pivot po-
sttion Of the infield'' This is because
most of the plays center around Sec

first to second to first" and so on.

few runs for the opposition. provided
the pitching is Of the proper kind.
Since second base Is the pivot position,
much of the teams success depends
upon the way that base is played. If

Of balancing the rest Of the team. A

How Hard Rubber i, Made,

We're all 0f-:us coming In contact
with hard rubber every day Of our
lives. Our fountain pen, our inkwell
tops, the magnetic parts and telephone
receivers are all made of hard rubber.
But how Is 1t made? Where does 1t
differ from the rubber In an automo-
bile tire, for instance? Well wager a
guess that not one man in thousand
knows
INFLAMMATION consists Of uniting sui
phur with rubber to give it certain
properties Of elasticity, durability and,
still more important, make it to retain
these same properties under all normal
conditions Of heat and cold.
When a larger proportion Of sulphur
than is found in ordinary soft rubber
is present and INFLAMMATION Is contin-
4ued for much longer time we obtain
as result a substance vastly different
In physical properties-hard rubber
Before vulcanization it is quite elastic
aud we can mold it to suit our needs.-

Ways Of Drying Food Products.
From United States department Of agri-
culture.
Fruits and vegetables may be dried
in the home by simple processes and
stored for future use. The processes
are sun drying, drying by artificial heat
and drying by air blast. These, Of
course, may be combined. In general,
most fruits or vegetables to be dried
quickly must be shredded or cut into
slices, because many are too large to
dry quickly or are covered with skin,
the purpose Of which Is to prevent dry
ing cut. When freshly cut fruits or
vegetables are to be dried by means Of
artificial heat they should be exposed
first to gentle heat and later to the
higher temperatures. If the air applied
at the outset is Of too high a tempera-
ture the cut surfaces Of the sliced
fruits or vegetables become hard or
scorched, covering the juicy interior
so that it will not dry out. Generally
it is not desirable that the air tempera-
ture In drying should 60 above 14O
degrees to $50 degrees F., and it is bet
ter to keep it we'll bslow this point.
Insects and insect eggs are killed by
exposure to heat Of this temperature.
It is important to know the degree
Of heat In the drier, and this cannot
be determined very accurately except
by, using thermometer. The reason
sun drying is popularity believed to
give fruits and vegetables a sweeter
flavor lies probably in the fact that in
the sun they never are scorched, where
as in the oven or over stove scorch-
ing is likely to- occur unless careful
attention is given them.
Drying Of certain products can be
completed In some driers within two
or three hours. The material should

Arms Of Washington.

The arms which Washington used
are heraldically described as follows:
Argent (silver), two bars gules (red), In
chief three mullets (stars) Of the Sec
ond, gules (red). The crest: A raven
with wings addorsed, sable (black), is
suing out Of a ducal coronet, or tgold).
Although these arms were used by
Washington, the arms Of the family In
Yorkshire are materially different,
bearing lion and being surmounted
by crest with an eagle, not a raven.
The Yorkshire arms were the original
arms, according to Albert Welles,
whose Pedigree and History of the
Washington Family" gives with edify-
ing detail the descent Of the Father Of
His Country from Odin, first king Of
Scandinavia. Fifty-five generations
were required to evolve George Wash
ington from Odin.

PREPARATION OF VEGETABLES TO BE DRIED
be stirred or turned several times dur
ing the drying in order to secure a
uniform product.
When sufficiently dried fruit should
be SO dry that it is Impossible to press
water out Of the freshly cut ends of
the pieces and will not show any of
the natural grain Of the fruit on being
broken and yet not so dry that it will
snap or crackle. 1t should be leathery
and pliable.
Preparation Of Food For the Drisr.
In large factories the vegetables are
put through special shredders and Sic
ers not adapted for home use, but
convenient and inexpensive machines
which can be used to great advantage
are on the market. The meat grinder
with it's special disks can be used in
certain cases, the common kraut slicer
will cut large vegetables into thin
slices, such as potatoes aud cabbage,
and the rotary hand -slicer is adapted
for use On very wide range of mate
rial. A large sharp kitchen knife may
be used when handler cutting device
Is not available. Care should be taken
that the material is sliced thin enough
but not too thin. From an eighth to
quarter OF an inch Is a fair thickness
for most Of the common vegetables to
be sliced and dried.
TO secure fine quality of dried prod
ucts much depends upon having the
vegetables absolutely fresh, young.
tender and perfectly clean. II steel
knives are used In pairing and cutting
have them clean and bright 20 as moi
to discofor the vegetable. The earthly
smell and flavor win cling to root crops
II they are not washed th6roughly be-
fore slicing, and one decayed root may
flavor several kettles of soup If the
slices from It are scattered through
whole batch Of dried material. High
grade dried "root'' vegetables can only
be made from peeled roots.
Blanehing Of vegetables is considered
desirable by some housekeepers, al
though It Is not strictly essential to
successful drying. Sun drying has
much to recommend it, since it re-
quires no expenditure of fuel and there
ID little danger OF the product becom-
Ing overheated. Dust, however, gath
ers on the product, and unless it is pro
tected carefully flies and especially
certain insects which habitually attack
dried fruits win lay their eggs upon 1t.
