such Identification, but only IN the
very rarest instances is it utilized,
or even contemplated.
This is not true in France;
France, with his ycncration OF beau
ty and honor of tradition, and the
trees belong to both OF these. The
vcrdue OF city is a souvenir OF its
salad days, when there was room in
its life for sentiment and dreams,
and youth knew little OF the market
place. And so now, in France, when
the market-place encroaches, it must
do so with all due honor to the YER
dure, and erect its buildings with re-
spect to the venerable trees, loved
for their place in the city's life, for
their refining influence upon its
thought, and pcrpetuated for their
share in its history.
1t is the difference in an ideal,
and the difference is written where
feeling is most graphically eX-
pressed. As one OF the great beau
ties of an aging face is its mellow
ness. so one OF the charms OF a ma
ture city is the serenity that rests
upon it in the lines Of its streets,

Streets are the lines OF expression
on a city's face. They are the ideo-
graphs of time, recording the
thoughts, passions, impulse, OF the
city-soul that dwells within. They
are as surely the indices OF a city's
character as the lines on a human
face, a betrayal OF whatcycr is ugly
and sordid, an earnest OF whatever
is serene and gentle and strong.
There are mean Streets says
Balzac, "and streets that are merely
honest, there are young streets
about whose morality the public has
not yet formed any opinion; streets
are murderouS strects-Strects older

BABY BETS

The following recipe for canning
baby beets is applicable to carrots.
Only young. tender beets should be
canned to get high quality product.
The best variety for canning is the
Detroit.
Sort the beets, putting uniform sizes
together. Cut the stems off, but be
careful not to cut off too closely or
break the root. This will cause loss Of
Juice, color and flavor. Boil in an en-
ameled pan until three-fourths done,
peel, pack hot in layers in previously
boiled Jars, fitting the second layer into
the spaces left by the first layer and
repeating. Cover with clear hot wa
ter; partially seal the jars and boil
them in water bath for one hour con-
tinuously, counting from the time the
water bOils again around the jars.
Do not allow cold water to touch,
the beets after they have been cooked.
If beets are packed in tin the cans
used must be inside-lacquered. Beets
liz inch in diameter and over should
be cut or sliced before packing into
jars. When steam-pressure Gamer
is used, process pints 80 minutes I'M
der five pounds steam pressure.-Unit-

VEGETABLE MIXTURES

Attractive and economical vegetable
mixtures to be served In salads, with
omeSets, escalloped dishes, and gar
niskes for meat dishes can be canned
at home. This by-product may be
canned often when small quantities
are left from packing different vege-
tables whole. Any desired combina-
tons may be made. Vegetables ma
turing in the same season should be
used. A good combination for the
spring would be carrots, peas, string
beans and onions. A mixture which
could be made from the fall garden
might consist of peppers. celery, on
ions and small lima beans. (Beets can
not be used in such mixtures because
they discolor the entire contents of the
jar.) All these vegetables are pre-
pared separately as for canning and
packed in layers iii previously boiled
jars. Each layer should be- packed as
tightly as possible before the next is
added. When the jar is filed, cover
with brine (2h ounces of salt to one
gallon of water). Partially seal Jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure Is recommended. Process pint
jars 45 minutes under pressure of ten
pounds. Seal Immediately and cool In
draft-free place. When cold test for
leaks and store in a cool. dark, dry
place.
If the intermittent boiling process is
used, boil for so minutes on the first
day, and 60 minutes on the second
and third days. Before each subse-
quent boiling the covers must be loos-
ened, and after each boiling the COW
ers must be securely frightened to
make sealing complete. Cool, test for
leaks and store.
If a single-period boiling process is
used, place jars in the Gamer and boil
for at least three hours. Seal, cool,

PEAS

Green peas are among the most DIFF

solute cleanliness, quick work, atten-
ton to every detail, are essentials to
success. Only young and very freshly
gathered peas should be canned. Peas
are best gathered in the early morning

ment they are gathered. Peas should
not stand after being shelled. Get
them into the previously boiled Jars as
rapidly as possible. Shell and sort.
