Latest Style In WatermeIons

Don't refuse to buy a watermelon
just because the stem looks as if il
had been dabbed with blush starch
paste, is the advice the United States
Department of Agriculture is giving
to housewives. Even if the melon is
somewhat smeared with the same sub
stance its contents are not affected.
Painting the stems of watermelons
with paste made out of bluestone
and starch is Uncle Sans latest agri-
cultural style. This treatment pre-
vents stem-end rot of watermelons
which in the past has caused vast
losses in this fruit in transit to mar
ket. The little dab of starch paste or
possibly of Bordeaux paste, therefore,
is to be taken rather as evidence that
the shipper wished to make sure that
the melons reached market free from
this rot. Some growers, in a hurry
smear some of the paste on the outside
rind of the melon but this does nc
damage beyond lessening its attractive
appearance.

at the safe. The door is open and he
tumbles them into the vault and locks
the door. He then summons the boss
and the police, after putting the money
which the crooks had taken out of the
safe into vacuum cleaner.

daughter is with him. Dill takes the
money out of the vacuum cleaner and

Keep Winter Apples

Winter apples may be kept in the
storage room in the basement OF the
house. in outdoor storage cellars. or in
hanks or pits. Conditions suitable for
the keeping Of potatoes answer fairly
well for apples. They demand cool
temperatures: in fact, they may be
vent near the freezing point, without
injury.
when stored in the basement of the
house, they should be kept in barrels,
boxes or crates, and placed near win
dow. When stored in banks or pits,
they should be handled in the same
way as potatoes but do not need to be
covered quite as deeply as potatoes.
II i a good thing to stoie small guam
titles in the basement storage room,
or in the storage cellar, and the main
supply in outdoor banks or pits.
For further discussion of the stor-
age of apples, see Farmers Bulletins

Was 1t Vandalism :?

The old garden box, that beautiful
hedge of colonial days, with its shin
ing green leaf and pungent odor, is
considered a rare garden product in
these days.
There are but few old colonial gar
dens in Annapolis where the box
hedge grows. Among these are the
gardens on Duke of Gloucester street
of the Ridout house. the Magruder
house, the old McKim house, now
owned by Mrs Eugene Worthington;
the old Brewer house, now owned by
Mr. Ennalls Waggaman; the old Nc
Kim lot, opposite st. Mary's, now
owned by Capt j. E. Abbott, u S. A.
the old Iglehart house. corner of
Gloucester and Charles streets, now
owned by Mr. r. Clausen. and a few
others
Recently DIR. John Ridout was writ
ten to about the box in his garden,
and fancy price was offered for the
purchase, but refused. The old gar
den in the rear of the house recently
torn down for the site OF the new In
dependent Fire Company's quarters,
contained this valuable box hedge.
Instead of being dug up, carefully re-
moved and planted elsewhere, ii was
wiIfully cut down and thrown away
AS valuable as the box is, was not

KEEP FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
IN COLD STORAGE
Many Concerns Not Engaged In The
Commercial Storage Business In
Position To Take Up Work

Fruits and vegetables well may De
preserved through freezing storage in
the present food emergency by con-
Germs not primarily engaged in com
mercisl cold storage operations. says
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Many
hotels. restaurants and ice-cream fac.
tories are equipped with facilities for
refrigerated Storage: and pie factories
and other large users Of fresh fruits
and vegetables may find it sdsan-
tageous to provide similar means for
the preservation of their raw materials
or utilize the facilities of the large
! public cold storage houses. with which
most of the large communities are
provided.
The fresh products should be stored
in temperature of 10 TO 16 degrees
Fahrenheit until they are to be used.
Sweet corn on the cob, string beans,
green Lima beans. beets, asparagus,
parsnips, peas in the pod, Budlong
spinach. raspberries. strawberries,
crsnberries. bluebeiries, gooseberries,
blackberries. loganberries, currsnts,
rlums, and cherries are among the
perishables that already have been
satisfactorily in this way to some ex-
tent, the specialists point out. These
products, however, must be cooked
within few hours after removal from
the freezing temperatures.
Undoubtedly the extension of the
practice by concerns having freezing
storage available, would help to a con.
siderable extent in reducing the waste
of perishables. If such practices were
adopted generally, the canning of
much food to be held for periods of 6
to months could be obviated.. Tin
cans. therefore. could be preserved in
no other way.

Sweet potatoes can usually be saved
by storage in pits or banks or in out

Select a well-drained location, line

hay, or leaves" said one of the De-
partment's experts today. "Place the
potatoes in a conical pile. Cover the
potatoes with the straw, carrying it
up several inches above the top of the
pile, so il will extend up beyond the 2
or 3 inch covering of dirt which you
will put over it all. This serves as q
ventilating flue. Cover the flue with
tin or short board as a protection
from rain. Make a shallow trench
around the pit to drain off the water.
Put straw. corn fodder, or other pro-
tective materials over the dirt cover

or in crates, the potatoes should be

Pauline Frederick, in 1.-THE Love
That Lives. Pauline Frederick. one
Of the screens greatest emotional &C
tresses. would grace any rule that she
was given to perform. but in 1.-The
Love That Lives" she has been accord
ed vehicle which allows her to dis
play the full splendid scope Of her re-
markable talent. 1t can be truthfully
said that in this production, Miss
Frederick has attained to heights of
artistry never before reached in her
brilliant career. 1t would see m on
first thought that the role of q scrub
woman held few if any possibilities,
yet Pauline Frederick has impaired to
such role all the charm and pathos
and infinite understanding of which
she alone is capable and Molly, the
office drudge, as portrayed by Miss
Frederick, becomes character that is
lovable, understandable and charming.
Daughter of a scrubwoman, Molly
has wee baby daughter of her own
whom she resolves shall not follow the
steps of her mother and herself and it
is to save this baby girl and her little
SON that Molly fights with all the
strength she knowns. The tragedy of
this battle of Molly's has been depict
ed in all its sordid, dismal truthful
ness, yet lightened by flashes of Miss
Frederick's inimitable humor and
many attractive gIimpses Of Der two
babies, before the one is taken from
her by a terrible accident and the
other grows up in ignorance of her
very existence.
The scenes of the fire in the Office
where Molly and her boys sweetheart
are locked up in an Office together with
a crazed brute of man are smong
the most vivid that have ever been
shown upon the screen. Molly's battle
with the man, the breaking out of the
fire and the entrance of her son, the
fireman, at the last moment make an
unforgettable scene which impresses
itself indelibly upon the mind The
son, knowing that only one of the
self confronted with the problem of
whether it should be his mother or
bis sweetheart that he rescue. The
sacrifice of the mother is marVelously
depicted by Miss Frederick, in the
last scene she rises to truly sublime
heights of artistry. An extremely
funny Black Diamond comedy will also
be shown. making this evenings
