w THEN a man joins force of women
wv workers it is usually from necessity
or curiosity, but when patriotism is
the motive the equality of the sexes seems
mighty close to the millennium. The canning
factory grew out of the tremendous success
attained in the girls vocational school, where
over $4,000 jars OF food were conserved in
SIX weeks. An extension of this work was
considered not only expedient but necessary
Accordingly. the Mayors Committee of Ma

floors and rig strainers seemed to have a new
kind of joy for me-
Il didn't know at first what the women
were going to do down there nor how much,
but l thought if they only put up hundred
jars it would be doing some good--sort of be a
start, anyway, and maybe be sent to some or
phan asylum.
when saw the jars by the hundreds piing

how it seemed as if the scheme was running
ahead Of itself.
"rhe women were allowed 10 cents an hour
for their work, and I could see where they
were going to feed their families for the WIN

hours all punched So said to almost every
woman met, why don't you go down and see
what they are doing there?' Some went

Mr.. Speers brow clouded as he tried to
understand the stupor of those who seemed to
be still asleep.
"It makes man feel proud to get the same
wages woman does when women work rs
they did. A man would be hog even to want
any more, so my forty-two hours amounted TO
$500.

cared for while their mothers worked. They
received the equivalent of their wage in con-

current price in the Newark markets

requests urgently given to circulate the need

these women conserved in thirty-six DAYS over
1900 jars Of food for the winters use.
They built up charge of 4,000-odd hours,
which at a schedule rate of Is cents an hour,
registered each night on their time card, gave
them an equivalent Of over $500.
The instigators of this most successful
project arranged for the distribution of this
food Thanksgiving week, and this timely ar
rangement gave to the women an appreciation
Of the day they had never before realized

was success or not it was time well spent

Ills resolution was fine blending of gal

women who were doing work that was heavy

Types of Jars and Cans
After you have decided on the type. capacity
and cost of the Gamer that Just fits YOUR
canning requirements, the next most impor-
tant point is the container. There is no money
In economizing rubber rings or the caps
OF jars and losing whole pack of vegetables.
And no matter how perfectly the sterilization
may have been carried out hermetic sealing
is the other must" for successful canning II
the seal is not perfect, due to rough edges of
jar, imperfect spring or bad rubbers, the food
will be reinfected and spoiled
The round Mason jar is a we'll known type
with the metal screw cap with porcelain lining
1t has some disadvantages; it cannot be
cleaned SO perfectly and must be frightened
several times during the cooling process, but
it is also the cheapest and good jar for the
money. There is also wide-mouthed Mason
jar and the White Crown cap is easily cleaned.

ly shortens the time that it is necessary to
process. The Nudge Gamer and the Improved
Water Seal Gamer are both Of this type and
are very efficient The Nudge handles one
to four quart jars at time, and is very con-
venient and quick in heating up 1t consists
of one to four cylinders, as desired, mounted
above water pan, so that a steam bath sur-
rounds each jar. The Improved Water Seal is
of larger capacity, holding thirteen one-quart
jars. Either Gamer may be used over any
form of heat
Pressure Gamers
The third type is the Pressure Cooker or
Gamer. which, by confirming the steam and
creating pressure of five, ten or fifteen
pounds, raises the temperature to 227o, 1899
and 250', as compared with 212o in the water
bath (boiler). This cuts down proportion
ately the time necessary to process. For ex-
ample, the root vegetables that need ninety
minutes in the hot water bath and eighty in
the water seal call for only one hour with
five pounds OF pressure.
These Gamers, however, are not so well
suited to the use of glass jars, which ar,
sterilized only partially sealed, and therefore
some of the water is apt to be exhausted and
result in "slack fill" unless constant press
ure is maintained. Also there is some
danger of breakage. The National Junior
Pressure Gamer is one of this type intended
more especially for tin cans But it can be-
used for glass with care, and for the woman

inches, weighing, with removable cover, fifty

it can be used over any heat it should be in
