MRS. FREDERICK FUNSTON, WIFE
 OF FAMOUS GENERAL, ARRIVES
 IN NEW YORK FROM THE WEST

Mexico. ''He wouldn't let me go with him then,'' she said. 'And it was most wise of him. she added Loyalty.
 After her two days engagement she was married in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday, and her husband, then Col. Funston, sailed fer the Philippines on the following Thursday. A fortnight later she followed him, having waited just leng enough to say geodby to her father, who had been kept from the wedding by a railroad strike in the East
 During the first attack upon Manila bullets passed through the house where she was living; she still has one of them. Not many weeks later her husband,- who was out on active duty, sent a caraHatta, which is a sort of native hansen cab, and his two ."strik- ers," to bring her to see him at Caloo- can, up the line from Manila. She reached the place in safety, but as she stood talking te an officer while wait ing for her husband to come into camp, a. perfect hailstorm of bullets fell around her.
 During the attempt to burn Manila I remained, with four or five other women, in a. house in the lower part of the city,n she told me. The officer III enafge ShoWod~uS now we could eS- cape to the harbor, by a little canal at the back, if escape should prove necessary. Bullets fell all around the house, and the fire came within four
 blocks of us, making the night bright as day. None of us was a bit scared,
 only terribly excited. The joke of it
 was that when I went to bed, at 4 o'clock in the morning, after every I thing was over, I lay there thinking of what might have happened, and 1 shivered till my teeth chattered.

Deputy Inspectors
 of Motor Vehicles
 Have Been Appointed

One of the most important features of the Motor Vehicle law of 1917 is the provision for an Inspection ser vice. This service as contemplated includes the appointment and quail fication of a chief and deputy inspec- tors with power to examine new driv- CTS, investigate accidents, and do the many and various police duties neces- sary for enforcement of the motor vehicle law.
 The preparatory work for estab- lishment of the Inspection service is now completed. Tentative districts, based upon territorial limits and pop u1ation, in the aggregate covering the State, have been established and the appointment of Inspectors is now an- nounced.

'bor in Great Britain today which is not used almost exclusively in war work, though there is no industrial conscription. There are few factories which are not wholly devoted to the production of munitions or similar goods. For instance there is not an automobile manufacturer in England who has produced pleasure car within the past IS months. Sir Ste- phenson attacked as vicious the prac- tice of enticing labor from one fac- tory to another during war time, say ing that the problem has been met in Britain fby fixing wages by agreement for all factories alike.
 G. H. Bai1lie, chief technical dilu- ton officer of the British Munitions Ministry, told the manufacturers how his government had met the dearth of skilled labor by transferring skilled workmen from essential to essen tial trades, training unsklled work men and employing women in muni- tions and other industries. He said that there are about 1,0O0, ,O0o women now working in British mupitions factories. They get the same wages as men and their work is, as satisfac- tory. The only restrictions on hours of labor are those imposed by. local conditions and agreements, MT. Ball. lie said but the average, which is found more satisfactory than longer holurs, is 53 hours @. week.
 About 100 manufacturers attended the conference which was presided over by Herbert Knox Smith.
 A conference held later in the day was attended by about 75 represent atives of various labor organizations in Connecticut The members of the Mission repeated the descriptions of labor administration in Great Britain which they had given to the manu- factutrers.
 Capt. Cyril Asqurn. another mefn- Der of the Mission, who is a son of former Premier Herbert Asquith, held a conference with the district exe1np- tion boards of the State at which he told what steps had been taken in his country to exempt skilled mechanics from army service.

A school will be held three nights each week in the Knights of Colum- bus building, where one. officer and one non-commissioned officer from each unit will report for special box ing training. They will, in turn, teach the instructors.

HOW TO CAN STRING BEANS

String beans for canning should be
small, tender, fresh and well sorted.
When the beans within the pod have
grown to any size, canning is more
difficult and the product of poorer
quality from a commercial standpoint.
String the beans and cut them into
two-inch lengths; cutting diagonally
or on the bias gives pretty product.
In glass they may be canned whole,
packed log cabin fashion in square
jars. Blanch in boiling water for
three to eight minutes or until the
pod will bend without breaking, and
plunge into cold water for an instant.
Drain we'll, pack quickly, and cover
with brine made by adding 21a ounces
of salt to a gallon Of water. Put the
rubber in place and adjust the cap
loosely. When the beans are young and
tender allow packed quart containers
to remain in water bath at boiling
temperature two hours continuously,
or, if more mature beans are packed,
an hour on each of three successive
days. Immediately after sterilizing
the filled jar, tighten the cap securely
and allow jars to cool away from any
draft. Store in cool, dry, dark place.
