Preparations for Canning.

The first steps In all canning, says
the United States department Of ag-
riculture, consist in the preparation
and cleaning of containers and in the
preparation Of the products to be
canned by washing, pairing, trimming,
and cutting into pieces where division
is necessary.
Those engaged in the work should
start with clean hands, clean utensils,
clean, sound, fresh products, and pure,
clean, soft water. No vegetables or
fruits which are withered or unsound
should be canned. If possible, only
fruits and vegetables picked the day
of canning should be used. Peas and
corn, which lose their flavor rapidly,
should be canned, in fact within five
hours If a choice product is desired.
Before the preparation of the prod
ucts is begun the containers should
be washed. If glass or crockery Jars
are used they should be placed in a
vessel Of cold water over fire to
heat. They will then be hot and
ready for use when the products have
been prepared for packing.
All grit and dirt should be washed
carefully from the materials to be
used All products. should be graded
especially for ripeness. Large fruits
and vegetables should be pared II
necessary, and small fruits, berries,
and greens picked over carefully.

NO Love TWEEN
BATTLING KUNz
AND BROWN

Chic Brown and Battling Kunz
the gents who are to clash at the
New Haven Arena on the 21st in a
2O-round bout to a decision, have no
love for each other. In fact they are
about the most bitter rivals one
could imagine. Ever since the first
bout on Nov. 8, 1916, when Brown
broke his arm and the state title went
to Kunz there has been bad blood be-
tween the two boxers. But just at
this time the feeling is more bitter
than ever.

In an address to the National Coll
legiate Association at its annual meet
ing in New York City two weeks ago,
Camp pointed out that the tasks of
the aviators were the most hazardous
of any in the military service, and
that if a highly qualified college ath-
letic trainer could pass upon the con-
dition of the fiers, many lives and in
cidentally flying machines might be-
saved.
Aviators, he pointed out. did not
report to their commanding officers
their exact health condition any more
than college, athletes tell their coaches
Both sets of athletes and warriors
are too anxious to get into the game
Yet they will tell their trainers and
will discuss their physical condition
freely with the trainers
In many cases, too, the trainers
would detect symptoms of poor condi-
ton, which, if not diagnosed. might
cause the aviator to falter and lose
his life.
Camp has suggested that the three,
universities with which Mack, Fitz-
patrick and Donovan are connected
may. as a patriotic duty, loan the
three trainers to the aviation service
for a few months.

to which he leased grounds in the
Monumental City. ,Hanlon played
ball with the champion Detroits back
in 1887, after which he began his sue
cessful career as a manager. He
handled the famous Orioles, including
McGraw, Jennings, Keller, Kelley
Robinson and others, who won pen
nants in 1894 and 1895. Hanlon also
developed a pennant winner in
Brooklyn IN 1899 and 1900. Suisse
quently he managed the Cincinnati

trying to elect Hanlon, providing the

fewer GOLFERS
seen IN SOUTH

New York, Jan. 16.-In looking
into the future, so far as golf is con-
cerned, one finds its devotees divided
into two classes, the optimist and the
psssimist- Taking the brighter view,
there are those who insist that this
winter in the South will DO not only
normal but even ahead of last, and
they cite as certain signs the over
flowing condition of the hotels, or
rather the extremely heavy advance
reservation lists.
AT Palm Beach and Relleair indica-
tons are that unless prospective tour
lists have already secured accommo-
dations it will DE next to impossible
for them to spend any time there this
winter.
To discount that rosy view it has
been claimed that even though the
advance bookings are heavy the class
of hotel guests will be different than
formerly In other words, in the
place of many golfers who for various
reasons have refrained from taking
their usual winter outing. will be 9th
ers of whom only a small percentage
are players.
Whether they will satisfactorily take
the places of their predecessors is q
debatable question. One thing that
has initiated against a successful
Southern opening has been the bat
weather, the kind that caused the
postponement of the Pinehurst tour

Tommy won the decision in 20
rounds. O'Brien twice faced Bob
Fitzsimmons, and in 1905 stopped
him in IS rounds in San Francisco

in 1909, and knocked out Jack (Twin)
