Beech Grove Wins Again.

Prof. Hooker of HermanviIle
brought his basket ball teams to
Beech Grove for a second game.
The line up of the Beech Grove
girls was, Flotence Shannon and
Lily May Wilkinson, forwards;
Lula McAmis and Clara Wiikin-
son, centers; Mary Rush and
Claude Shannon, guards; all of
whom played the best game of the
season, not allowing Hermanvilie
to make a single point. Herman
ville's forwards might have made.
some baskets, but their guards
wouldn't let them have the ball.
The guards and centers caused the
ball to continually fly in the air
towards Beech Groves goal, whose.
forwards took special pains to see
that the ball went through the
ring. The final score was 81 to o.
10 favor of Beech Grove.
The boys also played very
hard game, the line up being
Sidney Jordan and John Wilkin-
son, forwards; Lucien Harrington,
center; Earl Shannon aud Ralph
Lutz, guards. Not allowing Her.
manville.to to make field goal, the
final score being 20 to 2. This
will be the last game for Beech
Grove this year. The people of
Beech Grove feel proud of their
record, not having lost game.

This is the open season for making
pickles and below are some Of the
best pickle recipes to be had for the
use of Madame Housewife:
SOUR CUCUMBER PICKLES.
Soak the cucumbers in brine strong
enough to float an egg. The best way
to prepare the brine Is to measure
its strength by quart OF water, pla-
cling an egg in the vessel and adding
salt until the egg floats. keeping
watch Of the amount Of salt required.
The remainder Of the brine can then
be prepared using the same proper
tons. This method lnsures against
too much salt
II the kettle in which the pickles
are to be cooked is lined with grape
leaves, and after the picking mixture
is added the top is covered with grape
leaves, 1t is said that the pickles will
retain their natural green color.
The sour pickle mixture is as fol.

her, Just as they decided not to have

Improved American Glassware

From The Minneapolis Journal
The war has stimulated invention IN the
United States in a surprising variety of ways,
but in none more than in the art of glass
making, especially in the matter Of glass
ware for chemical. optical and culinary pur-
poses and for the making of glass bulbs for
lights. When the foreign made glass gave
cut the chemical laboratories were agreeabE
surprised to find that the bills for breakage
with the American glass were less than half
Of what they were before.
In the manufacture of the foreign and
American glass before the war potash was
considered one of the necessary ingredients,
hut potash has been difficult to secure of late
and the American glassmakers tried soda, a
near relative Of potash. The result has been
a new glass that stands all kinds OF heat in
a most surprising way.
In fact this glass promises to develop un-
expected advances in cooking. Tinware, crock
crv and enamel ware reflect heat to large
degree, but glass lets heat through just as
il lets light through. 1t is found that cake
baked in glassware is baked on the bottom
as well as on the top. A pie baked in a glass
dish has two crusts, a bottom as well as a
ton. And the new glass stands the heat of
the oven without cracking.
