Home Gardens Committee
To Assist In Canning

The Home Gardens committee
has made special arrangement with
vegetable growers of Fairfield coun-
ty whereby families may purchase
vegetables and other products for
canning in large quantities at whole
sale prices. 49,
In the drive to have all the food
products possible on hand during the
winter months, in which campaign
every woman in Bridgeport has been
urged to develop the canning and
preserving art to the utmost capacity
OF her home, the high prices of vege-
tables at retail has been found to en-
ter materially as a bar to extensive
operations.
The committee, following consul
tat1on with farmers and vegetable
growers has formed itself into an ex-
change whereby prices will be estab-
dshed daily and orders may be placed
for Immediate delivery In quantity.
housewives may now telephone the
Home Gardens committee at "Noble
ESQ., and will be able to ascertain the
daily price as well as enter orders
which will be filled at once by pack
age express at nominal rates of car
rage.
By this means the housewife who
plans to can during the day may find
the price, get wholesale figures on
the quantity, have her supplied de-
livered by express and proceed with
her business without the necessity of
stepping from her home.
1t is suggested by experts in charge
of this department that peas are
plentiful at this time and in just the
condition for proper canning. Beet
green's are also cheap at this time and
should be largely placed away for
winter USE
For the benefit Of those women in
this city not fully acquainted with the
most up-to-date canning methods
demonstrations are to be given in the
washington avenue M E. church and
at the Black Rock CONGREGATIONAL
church on Friday at 2 O'Clock. All
are cordially invited to attend the
demonstration,

nome of his sweetheart to see what a
fine girl he had. Explaining to me
rhat he intended to save up a little
more, and then ask her to marry him,
me girl was all he pictured her-as
pretty as a picture. I don't know Just
no" II was, but somehow she took a
great liking to me.
"A few days later she wrote me ask

to let my friend know about it. did

trusting a young woman who deliber-
ately leads on an honorable young
man like your friend, only to break

AKRON HOUSING
CONDITIONS ARE
WORSE THAN OURS
How Great Factory Has I'm.
dertaken to Solve Prob
lem For Its Employees.

Akron, o., July 6.-Finding homes
and providing entertainment for it's
$4,000 employees in "the city of stand
ing room only is the task set for
itself by the Firestone Tire & Rubber
Company of Akron, Ohio.
Hundreds of new workers pouring
into the city which has s.run away
from itsef' as one magazine writer
describes it, have presented a gigan-
tic problem in housing. The Firestone
company early saw the difficulties of
getting men to stay as their jobs I'M
less they were given clean, pleasant
places to live, and Immediately set
about the solution of the problem. A
huge allotment has been opened by
the company not far from the plant,
and lots are sold to. employees on easy
payments at low prices A house may
be built at cost by the employer and
paid for 5 per cent. down and one
per cent. month
But this does not take care of the
hundreds of employees who are con-
sanity coming to Akron from distant
cities, attracted by the eight hour day
and ideal working conditions. Many
OF these men have no money fwher,
they arrive and frequently leave their
families behind until thy ecan. for
ward them money to pay their trans
portation.
For these workers the company has
built a little village of temporary
homes ON the ground surrounding its
plant In this village, where the
jewellers live a simple life, there are
accommodation for 1000. The COM
munity is governed by the strictest
sanitary and police regulations en-
forced by the villagers themselves.
Ihe company doctors and nurses
make weekly inspections and report
that the village is the most healthy
community in Akron. Within a
stones throw are the Firestone war
gardens where employees are raising
sixty acres of vegetables for their
own use.
The residents of the village are
changing at intervals as enterprising
workers get a. house in Firestone
park or buy a lot to build on. But
there is always somebody to move in.
For entertainment and recreation.
there is the $350.0OO clubhouse with
bowling alleys. swimming pool. show
ers, reading rooms, and auditorium.
During the recent campaign for Red
cross funds in Akron, the EMPLOYEES
or the office presented a two-act on
eretta in the clubhouse and turned
the proceeds $1,000 into the Red
Cross fund. A moving picture show
is given once week free to the en-
ployes in the clubhouse auditorium,
In this city built in spite of itself -
Firestone workers are well provided
for.

TASTY WAYS OF
COOKING MACKEREL
RROHED.

Split large or medium mackerel
by making an incision along the back
bone from the head to the tail. Grease
a, wire broiler and place on this, flesh
side down. Cook on hot fire. When
brown, turn fish. Do not allow the
skin to burn. In using gas or cleo
tricity, a dripping pan will be found
more convenient than the wire
broiler. Use dripping pan in the oven,
and broil flesh side first.
