CONSERV VATION NOTES

Circus day it was supposed not
many Canning club members would
care to attend classes. Yet in one
club in particular, where about half
the members came to work, they said
they would rather can the products
they brought than to be dismissed
to sec the parade.
Some inquiries have been made re-
,garding the possibilities of house
wives attending the Canning club
meetings, thereby learning the cold
pack methods OF canning. The re-
quest cannot be denied.
A revised. bulletin on sugar conser-
vation has been issued by the exten-
sion department, University OF Ne
braska. The bulletin contains direc-
tons for canning without sugar, for
use of syrups in canning, in jellies
and in jams, and for the substitution
of syrups, honey and molasses in
cooking. Copies of the Bulletin may
be obtained at the food administra-
tion Office, .2l9 Union Pacific building.
A demonstration in canning is to
be, held at the home of Mrs. Mary
Lynch, 30l2 South Thirty-second
avenue, Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Paul Rivett, assisted by Miss Pro-
vaznik, will conduct the demonstra-
ton. ...r'.
Economy in the French army, has
developed to its fullest extent. Scraps
from the soldiers plates are collected
and soap is manufactured for the use
Of the army and navy. The art OF
soap-making was known in every
household a hundred years ago. II
can again be revived. Directions for
soap-making are given with various
brands of lye on the market.
In canning corn it is advisable moi
to fill the jars too full, since corn ex.
pands and the cover is likely to be
pushed off in the processing. 1t is
safe to allow one inch of space from
the top of the jar to the packed corr
within. .".

public the important action. explain
ed that he and his associates rea-

sented by the question. but added
with emphasis that. like other great
war problems, it must be tackled and
solved,
The resolution calls upon the war
industries board, the food admins
tration. the department OF agriculture
and the fuel administration to pro-
coed as rapidly as possible with the
formulation and enforcement of plans
for the increase in production of the
necessities for life. for the stabiliza-
ton of their prices. and Of the equit
able limitation of profits.
1t is regarded as the first step In a
determined plan TO limit to reason
able prices the articles of personal
and household use necessary to the
decent existence Of the average
American citizen. The public an
nouncement of the resolution, and
Chairman Frankfurter's accompany
ing statement at this time, Is design
ed 10 sound n general warning that
the government proposes to call a
halt TO further advances in the prices

articles.
MIR. Frankfurter pointed out that
labor is especially concerned in the
maintenance of fair level OF prices.
The subject, he said, therefore ma
turally forced itself upon the atten-
ton of war labor policies represent :
ing, as 1t does. the agricultural indus
tries of the country
No one is criticised for past failure
to act. but it is mado plain that the
time for heroic measures has arrived.

P,.ris, Sept. 27.-Nearly ten
thousand prisoners had been
taken by the American forces
at the end of the second day OF
the drive between Argonne and
the Meuse.
Fifty guns, among them some
of Krupp's finest, have been
captured by Pershing's boys.
They present the most convinc-
ing proof of the swiftness of
the advance. The Germans
were just in the act of prying
the big pieces loose from the
emplacements when the dense
lines of khaki-clad men zwarm-

Rain and stiffened German
resistance in the center dowed
up the advance somewhat to
day but operations continue h
accordance with Pershing''s
,, schedule. So far the Ameri-
cans have advanced fully eight
miles.
On their left. the French
smashed ahead FIVE miles and
brought the total of their pris-
oners up to ten thousand, max
ing a grand total of 2O,0OO
taken by the two armies. The
total French advance in two
days also is eight miles.
