GIVE CANNING
A FAIR TRIAL

Don't judge the success of canning
by your first effort with whatever
product you happen to find In market
when you begin operations" says a
statement just issued by the United
States department of agriculture. at
Is more than likely that If you were a
beginner at canning you started with
strawberries, the first fruit available.
Ii you did you should realize that
strawberries are one of the most DIFF
ficult of all products to can satisfac-
torily. 1t is next to impossible, In fact,
to can this fruit, as distinguished from
preserving 1t lin which case much
larger proportion of sugar is used), so
that its color, size, and texture will be
preserved.
ut is normal, If ordinary canning
practices are followed, to have straw
berries shrink, turn more or less brown.
and float to the top of the Jars. The
product is palatable, however, and will
keep perfectly If the sterilization has
been done properly.
Don't feel, therefore, that your
strawberry canning is failure. Above
all, don't become discouraged and fear
that all your canning will be unsatis-
factory. Practically every vegetable
and fruit worth canning may be canned
and kept In condition fairly compar-

Worlds Largest Organ, in
Great English Cathedral,
Is to Have 1867 Pipes.

The largest organ in the world is
now being built for the new cathedral
at Liverpool. 1t is the gift of Mrs.
James Barrow of Waterloo, near Liver
pool. Started In January, 1913, 1t was
to take four years to complete. Says
London Tid-Bits:
This organ will have five manuals,
1877 speaking stops, and 215 draw stop
knobs, and a total of 10,567 pipes. The
action itself will be electro-pneumatic
and tubular-pneumatic on the Willis
system. The keys will be laid with
heavy plates of ivory without surface
joints and the key frames will be of
ebony. The music desk, draw stop and
pedal jambs of console will be made
of rosewood and the pedal board will
be made of teak. The four tremulants
will be rather unique, inasmuch as the
player will be able to regulate the
rapidity of the vibrato at will by means
of a pedal. The blowing will be done
by seven separate installations and
each separate installation will be cleo
trically blown, and the speed will be
automatically controlled by the rise
and fall of the main reservoir. The
starting and stopping will be easily &C
complished at the console by simply
pressing three sets of push buttons
Now, probably most people will think
that the organ will be altogether too
large. but when the size Of the cathe-
dral is taken into consideration, 1t will
be readily seen that the organ will by
no means be out of proportion. The
total length of the cathedral is go feet,
width across the main transepts 200
feet and the height from the floor to
the apex of groining 115 feet.

Deserts Are Disappearing

L. s. BUREAU PRAISED
TO CHILD CONFERENCE

Baltimore, Nd. March 21.-Social
workers from all over the country
gathered here today in the thirteenth
National Conference on Child Labor
The meetings will continue three days.
One Of the features of today's adj
dresses was the following tribute to
thC worl; of the Federal Children's
Bureau by C. c. Carstens, secretary
Of the Massachusetts Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children:
"a great impetus has been given
10 the development of better methods
in the care of dependent, neglected
and delinquent children by the estab-
lishment of the Federal ChiIdren's Blu
reau under the leadership of Miss Ju-
liza c. Lathrop. Although the Federal
Bureau has no authority over the re-
:pective States. the intelligent reports,
outlines and suggestions that have
been published by the Bureau have
gore far to develop public opinion, to
arouse public enthusiasm and to enlist
social workers themselves in under
taking a more thoroughgoing service
in behalf of unfortunate children.
"Growing out of report which the
speaker as chairman of the Children's
Committee Of the National Conference
made two years ago, the National
Committee for Standardizing Chill
Iren's Laws was organized, Of which
the speaker is chairman, and advice
and assistance have been given to Il
number Of States where the time SEEM
cd ripe for the shaping of new State
plans. This is particularly true in
Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Connect
cut, Delaware, Tennessee and other
States"
