STOP MOVEMENT OF TROOPS

(By International News Service.)
Washington, June 4.-That the
German submarine raid in American
waters was designed to stop oversee
movement of United States troops
is the belief of officials here today.
There will be absolutely no halt or
slowing down Of transport sailings
and they will be amply protected
Measures have been completed to
meet and vanquish the new subma-
rine menace. The belief exists, how
ever, in some quarters that measures
lave not been completed and that
the submarines may next be heard
from in the Gulf or in the oil lanes
from Mexico to Europe. Arriving
survivors are cautioned not to talk
by naval officials. 1t is officially
stated that there have been no at
tacks on American transports, and
measures taken make it almost i'm
possible for such attacks to be car
ried out with success.

Dear Madam-Is there any way of pre
serving tomatoes so that they will keen in
apartment MRS. j r.
Dried tomatoes and tomato paste are
the most satisfactory ways of preserving
tomatoes. The recipes are as follows:
Dried tomatoes--Blanch long enough
to loosen skins. cold dip, peel, slice TO
thickness three-eighths to one-half inch,
Start at temperature 12O degrees i. and
increase to 40 degrees f. toward the
end. Properly dried tomatoes show no
moisture when pressed and slices break
when bent.
Tomato paste--Boil ripe red tomatoes
until soft. Pass through a screen to re-
move seeds and skins. Boil down quickly
on a stove to about the consistency Of
thick ketchup. Then place it on the
back of the stove or, better in a double
boiler and cook down until it is as thick
AS thick peanut butter. Pack hot in
lars. Sterilize one hour at IL degrees
F.. in wash-boiler sterilizer and seal
This product can be used as a navoring
for various dishes. that is. macaroni,
SirwS. rice. beans. etc. in the same way
that canned tomatoes are used This
