PLENTY OF RECREATION
FOR FLYING FIGHTERS

An American AiSdrome in England
tby maiD.-Life on active service with
the air force In Great Britain is made
up of a happy mixture of work and
recreation which keep the American
pilots in good health and spirits-both
essential qualities for real success in
the air.
There is usually time for indulging
in many kinds Of field sport. and the
opportunity is seldom missed. Amer
lean and British pilots always mix in
their sports as in their work and there
is much friendly rivalry.
Practically all British airdromes
have their football and cricket fields,
kept in first class condition by the in
'dustry OF officers and men in their
spare time. The Americans have added
baseball fields, and spirited contests
between squadrons take place fire.
squently, together with occasional more
~pretentious contests between the local
~.squadrons and visitors from camps a
few miles distant.
During the fine English summer ten
mis- is q great game at the airdromes,
played both or hard and grass courts.
The English are taking up baseball
gradually, but it will be a long time
before they are proficient enough to
compete with h Americans and Cana
dams.
Field sports offer the best opportuni-
ties for International rivalry.
When outdoor games are impossible
owing to the weather there are the
varied diversions of the mess to fall
back upon. Playing cards and billiards
are popular, and ping-pong has been
revived. There is always a grama-
phone with a plentiful store Of records.
No mess is complete without a piano.
.an6 many pleasant evenings are spent
around it.. Concerts are given periodi-
cally, and invitations to these concerts
are usually extended to the men OF
NEARBY S%quadronS.

Sweet corn should be
blanched on the cob, then the
kernels cut off and spread to
the depth Of about one-quarter
Of on inch upon the bottom Of
the drying frame.
Carrots, parsnips, and pota-
toes should be scraped and
sliced before blanching, then
carefully drained Of moisture
and placed in the drying frames.
Only very tender carrots should
be dried.
Squash and Pumpkins--Cut
iato inch slices, peel off rind,
chop into pieces Il inch thick.
Spread in rack and dry.
Beans - Never dry tough
beans or beans with very much
string on the pod. Break off tip
ends, blanch, and dry whole,
pods and all. If some pods are
tough, do not throw them away.
Hull them and dry the beans.
Peas-Hull before bIanch-
Ing. Spread on rack to dry. In
drying peas you will have some
little peas and some big ones.
The little ones will shrivel up /;
the big ones won't. Sort the
peas. Put the big ones in one
tray and the little ones in an
other tray. Five quarts Of peas
in the pod will be sufficient,
when they are hulled, to fill a
frame.
Cabbage should be cut in
the same manner as for making
kraut before being blanched.
Do not cut Off the outside leaves
unless they have commenced to
rot.
The process to be observed
In drying other vegetables and
fruits follows: y
Beets-Do not blanch, as
blanching causes them to bleed
and they loose some Of their
nutritive value. They should be
peeled, washed, sliced, and laid
in the frame to dry.
Rhubarb-Do not blanch.
Wash, drain, slice in small pieces
and dry. Rhubarb does not need
to be peeled IL it is tender. In
vegetables, apples, and peaches,
the mineral salt and most Of the
nutrition are next to the peeling,
and If we peel them we destroy

The cathedral al, Noyon is one of

Supreme Court Decides Gov

Men Senate Rejected
JUDGE KUNKEL UPHELD
Action Will Clear Situation
Status of Cabinet
Members
By .fsseciatcd Press

Philadelphia, April 3.-The Su-
preme Court to-day filed an opinion
which upheld the right of Governor
Brumbaugh, under the constitution,
to appoint and keep in office men the
state Senate refuses to confirm.
The opinion deals with the case OF
Daniel +. Lafean, appointed by the
Governor as banking commissioner
Auditor General Snyder refused to
countersign a warrant for salary for
the commissioner.
The case was tried before Judge
Kunkel, Dauphin county, the first to
sustain the Governors position.
InsurcS Back Salaries
The effect of the decision is to
continue in office and insure pay
ment of salaries and necessary Of
fetal expenses of Daniel +. LaGean
commissioner of banking; Nathan X
Butler. commissioner of fisheries; ID
Edward Long, uperintendent ol
printing; Charles +. Patton, secre-
tary of agriculture; James w. Leech

tate of the late Robert *. Young

died soon after taking the oath oil
office. his salary for the period he
served and to William Young his
compensation for service ON the
state industrial board. The officers
we're appointed July 3 after having
been rejected by the Senate imme-
diately before final adjournment.
Court Divided
According to what was learned
here the court was by no means
unanimous in reaching the decision
Chief Justice Brown and Justices
Potter and VonMoschisker dissented
from the opinion of the four other
members upholding the right to
make the recess appointments. The
fact that the court divided was much
commented upon here as showing
the Auditor General had strong
backing for his contention that the
Governor was without authority.
Governor Brumbaugh was in
Washington and Attorney Genera
Brown in Philadelphia, when news
of the decision came and Auditor
General Snyder, who had appealed
from the decision of Judge kunkel
declined to make any comment unit
he received the opinions. The inter
ested officials expressed considerable
qualification at the close of the con
troversy. 1t is understood that as
soon as the official papers are re-
ceived that steps to pay the officials
will be taken. one of the interesting
sidelights is that it will insure to E
b. Dorsett, who was chief OF mar
kets. his salary. Dorsett's appoint
ment was not recognized by Mr.
Snyder because Secretary of Agri
culture Patton was involved in the
case.
Deputies Acted
Under an agreement made between
the Attorney Generals and the Audi
tor Generals Departments only the
officials directly interested suffered
from hold up of salaries. Deputies
signed the payrolls in the depart
ments whose heads were involved
with the exception of the Dorset
case which virtually ended when hi
resigned his place.
According to reports here there
was a dissenting opinion filed in the
court.
