 To salt green tomatoes, slice them and spread in layers on the bottom of clean kes, tub or crock. Add ai- ternating layers of salt in the propor- tion of one-quarter salt to one of to- matoes by weight. Distribute the salt as evenly as possible among the different layers, packed so, that sthe quantity weighed out will be enough to pack vegetables.
 Cover with the clean cloth, board and weight. If the brine extracted in twenty-four hours is not sufficient to cover the vegetables, add strorE brine by dissolving one pound of Hlt in two quarts water.
 Fresh green tomatoes may be fried as egg plant. and the salted ones may be used in this way in winter, if freshened first.

PARROTT GUNS.

American inventive genius has con- tributed many of the most modern in strumentS of warfare with which the present conflict is being waged, al- though the American army has not always been the first to use and per- feet these instruments. The sub marine is an American invention, which the Germans have developed;
 the machine gun is being used by the British forces was invented by an American army officer, but it was the English who first recognized the merits of the Lewis machine gun. The first noteworthy improvement in ar
 tillery invented by an American was the Parrott gun, the creation of Rob-
 ert Parker Parrott who was born in Lee, N, H., 113 years ago today. He
 graduated from West Point in 1924, and after serving as an instructor and
 in the war against the Creeks, he re- signed his commission and became sup-
 erintendent of a cannon foundry at
 Cold Spring, N. Y. While engaged
 in that capacity he invented the we'll
 known Parrott gun, or rifle common,
 which he placed at the disposition of
 the United States government This
 cannon received its first great test in
 the Civil War, and, while it was a considerable improvement over the older types of guns, the incentive
 given by the war to inventive genius soon resulted in even better artillery. Many of the ten and twenty poundef Parrott guns. made of cast iron rein- forced by band of wrought iron
 shrunk about the seat of the charge were used by the Union Army. Confi- dence in the Parrott system, as ap- piled to heavy ordnance, was soon lost because of frequent accidents, and it early fell into disuse as soon as the | urgent needs were over. Parrotts | theory was right, but the materials 1 he had to work with were poor.
