ment
Dominance of the air has become

tons of war. wholly dependent for ef-
fective direction upon the eyes of the
air service looking down upon the
field Of operations from thousands Of
feet up in the clouds This dominance
Of the air is vital. but may be achiev-
ed only through the presence of air
craft of all kinds and in overwhelm-
ing numbers. This dominance nav
be achieved only when pilots are
available of proper quality and in suf.
ficient numbers. Moreover. manufac.
turing equipment for quantity produc-
ton OF machines must be ayailble.
America is the last great reservoirs
in the world not only for men OF the
right quality but for the materials and
the equipments for quantity produc.
ton as well: The permanent suprem-
acy of the air must be America s

DRY THE FRUIT AND 6ETABLes


 DRY THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
 Hundreds of bushels of peaches and apples are allowed to rot in the orchards of the state every year, and they must be saved this season. In fact, all excess fruit and vegetables should be dried, " says Miss Emma Archer , with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas, who gives the following instructions for drying:
 PEACHES: Peaches are usu- ally dried unpeeled. They may be peeled if desired. Cut in halves, pit. lay in trays pit side up. and dry at same temperature and for same length of time as apples.
 APPLES AND PEARS: Pare, core, and cut apples in one- eighths, or core and slice in rings using fruit or vegetable slicer. As apples discolor quick ly do not let stand long before drying. To prevent discolora tion as the fruit is prepared it may be dipped for one minute Tn a cold salt bath. using one ounce of salt to one gallon of water. Remove surface moisture and dry at no to 150 degrees F., raising temperature gradually. Dry from to 6 hours, and lon ger if necessary. Pears are dried in the same way as apples. They may be steamed 10 min- utes before drying.
 SWEET CORN: Select very young and tender corn. and pre- pare at once after gathering Boil or steam on the cob 8 to 10 minutes to set the milk. To i'm prove the flavor a teaspoonful of salt to gallon of water may be used. Drain we'll and cut corn from cob, using very sharp and flexible knife. Cut grains fine. only half way down to the cob and scrape out the remain der of the grain, being careful not to scrape any of the chaff next to the cob. Dry from 3 to 1 hours at no degrees to l45 de- grees F. When field corn is used, good plump roasting ear stage is the proper degree of ripeness. A pound of dried corn per dozen ears is an average yield.
 PUMPKIN: Pare and cut in about l-2 inch strips and blanch 3 minutes, remove surface mols- ture, and dry slowly from 3 to 4 hours, raising temperature from no to 40 degrees F. Gel cry cut in one inch strips is dried in the same way as pumpkin.
 OkRA: Wash, blanch 3 min utes in boiling soda water and dry 2 to 8 hours. at no to 40 degrees F. Use l-2 teaspoonful soda to gallon of water. Dry young and small tender pods whole. Older pods should be cut in IA inch slices. Small ten der pods are sometimes strung on 8 string and hung over the stove to dry. If dried in this manner heat in oven before storing. Any other information on canning or drying fruits or vegetables that you may desire will De sent unon request.

IL New French Liners
Need Steel From u. S.
America Could Complete the
Ships by Sending Plates
and Men Abroad
TStdf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-There are
seventeen ocean-going ships in various
stages of completion in French yards
which America can complete if she
will send steel plates and builders to
France, according to statement is
sued to-day by the Patriotic Education
Society. 1t says:
"While the American government is
negotiating with Japan to release
American steel shapes to Japan in re-
turn for Japanese vessels 20 be used
in war trade, there are in the seven
teen important shipyards Of France
seventeen cargo-carrying vessels and
ocean liners in various stages of COM
pletion.
"The question must Immediately
suggest itself: Why not send the steel
shapes We have thus far refused Japan
to France; why not send American
workers to France to get the French
ships into the water III the minimum
of time?
cline is the essential element in
winning the war. II is true that ship
builders are needed in this country,
but these French ships can be put into
commission within few months, while
Americas programme will not begin 70
show great results until the end OF
1918.
Here is a question Of priority for
the proposed allied war council to con-
slider at once"
