peas, beans, cauliflower, tomatoes and
corn may all be satisfactorily canned
at home, and, even counting the initial
cost of glass jars, putting up ones
own vegetables costs no more than
buying the cheapest grade of tin
canned ones at the grocery, while the
expense after one has acquired the
jars is very small. One may buy the
standard makes for five and ten
cents as needed, thus making it pos
sib1e to lay in a good stock by de-
grees.
If there were no other advantage
in putting up ones own vegetables,
when they are in their prime and may
be canned few at a time, it would
pay in the matter of convenience, as
one may can in pints, quarts or two
quart sizes. In tomatoes, the average
grocer carries nothing smaller than
the quart: can, which once opened
must be used at once. Ones own
little pint jars hold just enough for a
sauce for a soup for two or three

BY HOWARD H. GROSS
President Universal Military Training League

years. is still raging with unabated fury. 1t is note
worthy that none of the fighting has been done upon
German soil. 1t is question today whether the
tra powers or the allies the nearest to exhaustion
The one overshadowing and disturbing fact is the
enormous loss to merchant shipping due to the new
type of submarines Unless this can be checked the
allies will surely be starved into submission, and then
Germany will rule the seas. What this will mean to
is beyond our mental grasp. We shall be at the mercy
