ONLY DROP IN BUCKET
Brewers Argue Only OF of Z. S. Acres
LGroy All the Grain They Use.

Washington, May Headed by
Grtstave Pabst, a delegation repre-
sefftinG the brewers of the United
states was heard today by the senate
AGRICULTURAL committee on senator
Gronna's bill to forbid the manufac-
ture of grain into alcoholic liquors
during the war. The delegation told
the committee that the brewing m
terests were ready to cooperate with
the government in any way and TO the
fullest extent the president might wish
and did not ask consideration from
anv standpoint other than that OF fair
dealing and public policy.
The actual amount of grain used in
brewing. principally barley, they told
the committee represents less than
three quarters of one per cent of all
the grain produced in the United
States and in addition the barley used
they said is not a staple human food
here or abroad.
The area of land required to raise
all zthe grain used in brewing in the
United States. the committee was told,
is less than OF of the total of all the
AGRICULTURAL land in the country.
From these figures the brewers argued
that the brewing industry was too
small a factor to be considered in the
food conservation program.

MASSACRE RICH JEWS
Entire Jewish 900
Forced to Flee City by Turks.

New York, May THE entire Jew
ish population of Jaffa, Palestine,
about 5000 men, women and children
of many nationalities, were forced by
the Turks on April 1 to evacuate their
homes and flee from the city, accord
ing to cablegram received here to-
day by the provisional executive COM
mittee for general Zionist affairs
The roads leading from Jaffa were
thronged with starving people, some
dying by the roadside and mutilated
bodies of rich Jews were found on the
sand dunes, the message said.
Hang Two as a Lesson.
Two Jews were hanged "as an in
dication of the fate in store for any
Jews who might be foolhardy" as to
oppose looters. Bedouin Turks and
women sacked the Jewish homes
while the jewellers were departing. and
all valuables were stolen. Moham-
medans and Christians were allowed
to remain if they had individual per-
mits, the cablegram stated, but every
Jew, even those Jews who were Aus
trla-Hungarian, Bulgarian and Ger
man, We're ordered out. No free trans
portation was afforded but every flee
ing person who paid from 100 to 200
francs in gold was furnished carriage
space for a ride of nine miles to an
other town.
Gust Jews From Jerusalem.
Prior to the evacuation of Jaffa. the
message said, 800 Jews were deported
IN "a cruel manner from Jerusalem
me Zionist committee here said the
cablegram was reliable and from one
whose name they withheld for fear the
Turks might visit the sender with
retrlbution. Djemal Pasha, the Tur-
klsh military governor of Jaffa, issued
orders on March %, that the Jews
evacuate, ''as a measure of noilit. ~,
precaution." according to the mes
sage. Some wished to escape by sea

DRY CORN FOR TABLE
Canning Material Costs Threaten Ex-
istence of the Industry.

Canned corn will soon be forgotten.
according to the first lecture of the
Canning School, now being conduct
ed for the Topeka women by Miss
Marian p. Broughten of the Kansas
State Agricultural college. Dried corn
will soon take its place.
I'm the day of high cost of canning
material and containers there is no
err vegetables should be canned. The
modern way is the old way. Simply
strip the husks of the corn back, tie
a knot and hang the ears up to dry.
This was the plan of Miss Broughten.
Cans should be saved for such prod
ucts as can not be preserved in any
other way" she stated.
Miss Broughten also instructed
nearly 100 women at the Clay school
in canning carrots and pieplant. Car
rots like corn can be conserved with
out being put in a container. Carrots
can be buried in pit, matched with
straw. and saved until mid early
spring. With these two vegetables
on the "canless' list, Miss Broughten
will continue to explain economic
methods for the kitchen.
Miss Broughten was brought here
by the educational department of the
Woman's club in an effort to con-
serve the surplus food and to still
keep the canning price within reach
of the poorer people. The schedule
for the class work lasts until Friday
night and includes every school in To-
peka The course is opened to every
