What RunyOn Says.

Damon Runyon, a well-known. hon
orable man, who writes on sporting
subjects for New York newspaper,
today has this gauntlet to hurl at the
feet OF McGraw:
I'm his reputation OF certain sour
rilous interviews attributed to him
in connection with his suspension and
fine by President Tener, OF the Ma
tional League, John J. McGraw, man
aEer Of the New York Giants, does not
specify the interviews he has in mind.
Therefore, we have no means OF
knowing the nature OF these inter
views, but OF this we feel certain: Mr..
McGraw does not meSn to repudiate
the interview attributed to him by the
New York baseball writers travelling
with his club, and who include sucn
gentlemen as Sam Crane, Sid Mer-
Ger, James P. Sinnott, Frank Graham,
ana others. because reputation would
mean impugning the yeraclty OF these
men, and their veracity is unimpugn-
able.

Today comes an excellent Oppor-
tunity for the Griffmen to crawl out
Of the cellar before hitting the pike.
They open a three game series with
Connie Mack's Athletics, who are just
O game and a half ahead OF them.
However, in order to get out Of las
place, the Griffs will have TO win
at least two OF the three contests.
By so doing their respective stand
ings would be as follows:
Won. Lost. Pct.
Griffmen ...s.... Il % 'ooS
Mackmen ... 10 81 .3T3
II the Griffs win all three from
the visitors, the standings will be
like this:

Connie Mack is obtaining good
work from Seibold. Schauer. Noyes
and FaIkenberg. while Joe Bush Is
about due to resume his old place

the greatest care should be given to
the regulation of the heat. The tenn

quickly and the product may scorch

fact that In the syn they never are

Drying of certain products can be
completed in some driers within two

drying vegetables varies. However, il
can be determined easily by little
experience on the part of the person

be stirred or turned several times dur

METHODIST DRYING
Three Mays Applicable in Making
Dried Products.
SHRED OR CUT into SLICES
When Artificial Heat Is to Be Used,
Freshly Cut Fruits and Vegeta-
bles Should Be Exposed First
to Gentle Heat.

Q'rom FARMERS BULLETIN S4i. United
states Department of Agriculture)
Three main ways of drying are ap-
plicable In the home manufacture of
dried fruits and vegetables, namely,
sun drying, drying by artificial heat,
and drying by air blast. These, of
course, may be combined. In general,
most fruits or vegetables, to be dried
quickly, must first be shredded or cut
into Slices because many are too large
to dry quickly or are covered with a
skin, the purpose of which is to pre-
vent drying out. When freshly cut
fruits or vegetables are to be dried by
means of artificial heat, they should
be exposed first to gentle heat and
later to the higher temperatures. If
the air applied at the outset Is of too
high Z. temperature, the cut surfaces
of the sliced fruits or vegetables be-
come hard, or scorched, covering the
juicy interior so that 1t will not dry
out. Generally 1t is not desirable that
the air temperature in drying should
go above f40 degrees to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, and it is better to keep it
well below this point. Insects and in
sect eggs are killed by exposure to
heat of this temperature.
Degree of Heat

Of heat in the drier, and this cannot
be determined very accurately except

move surface moisture and dry from
three to three and one-half hours at
same temperature as string bears.
Peppers.
(a) Peppers may be dried by split
ting on one side, removing seed, dry
ing in the air, and finishing the dry
ing in the drer at 40 degrees Fahren-
heit. A more satisfactory method is
to place peppers in biscuit pan in oven
and heat until skin blisters, or to
steam peppers until skin softens, peel
split in half, take out Seed and dry
ut 40 degrees to 40 degrees Fahren-
heit. In drying thick-neshed peppers
like the pimento, do not increase heat
too quickly, but dry slowly and even
ly.
% Small varieties of red peppers
may be spread in the sun until wilted
and the drying finished in the drier.
or they may be dried entirely In the
sun.
(c) Peppers often are dried whole.
If they are large they can be strung
on stout thread; if small, the whole
plant can be hung up to dry.
Spinach and Parsley.
Spinach that is in prime condition
of green's should be prepared by care
full washing and removing the leaves
from the roots. Spread the leaves on
trays to, dry thoroughly. Sliclng will
greatly facilitate drying.
Parsley should be treated In the
same way as spinach.
Herbs.
Celery tops, parsley, mint, sage. and
herbs of all kinds need not be
blanched, but should be washed well
and dried in the sun or in the drIer.
These are good for favoring soups,
purees, gravies, omelets, etc.
