SMALL BOY HAD NOTICED
That He Knew Man In Khaki as
Marine Did Credit to His Powers
of Observation.

A group of youngsters was playing
on Riverside drive, says the New
York Times. A military man, dressed
In khaki and accompanied by n young
lady, approached the group. The boys
stopped their playing and, with nudges
and gesticulation, were evidently try
Ing to identify the man in khaki.
AS the young lady and her escort
drew nearer, one youngster with an
air of superior knowledge informed
his companions: He's United
States marine"
Overhearing the remark, the young
lady questioned the small boy: "How
do you know he is mariner"
"Why, lady," exclaimed the young
ster. ''he wears an ornament on his hat
showing an eagle, globe and anchor,
but doesn't wear any hat cord"
The colored hat cords, yellow, blue
and red, help many civilians to recog-
nize at once a cavalryman, an infan-
tryman or artilleryman. However. the
United States marine dressed In khaki
is still an enigma to many persons
who lack the powers of observation
displayed by the small boy on River
side drive.

gently one hour. Add one pint or
sugar, with more water If needed. and
cook half hour longer. This may
be varied by using the ounces whole,
filling the cavity from which the core
was removed with orange marmalade.
Ginger Pears.-Take eight pounds
of green pears. eight pounds of sugar,
juice of four lemons and fourth or
pound of green ginger root. Pare
and cut the fruit in thin slices, the
rind in small thin pieces. Boil slowly
until thick Seal in glasses.
Carrot Conserve.-Wash and scrape
half dozen firm, highly colored car
rots and put them through the meat
chopper, cutting as fine as peas. Boil
for half an hour sailing lightly. To
each pint add two cupfuls of Light,
brown sugar, the juice and rind of a
| lemon or sour orange. Cook slowly
for one or more hours until clear and
thick.
Plum Conserve.-Take three pounds

| Cut the plums in pieces, add a little
water, the sugar, one-third of pound
of raisins and the pulp of two oranges.
| Simmer one hour. Seal in glasses.
Pineapple may be combined with
| rhubarb to make marmalade or pre-
serve which is very delicious. The
quantity of rhubarb is about three
times that of pineapple, but owing to
the strong flavor of the pine. the con-
serve is really pineapple. The same
proportion may be used with straw
berries, raspberries or other fruit that
has characteristic flavor, which over
comes the rhubarb.
Every fruit and vegetable possible
should be conserved this year either
by canning, drying or salting.
