Community Kitchens Canned.

Community kitchens, where surplus
vegetables and fruits are canned I'M
der cooperative arrangements, were
operated last year in Ohio, Peasants,
Kenawha, Jefferson, and, TO some ex-
tent, in other counties of West Vir-
ginia. The kitchens were supervised
by the home demonstration agents of
the extension division of the state
university.
In the city of Charleston, where a
kitchen was opened in July, the num-
Der who brought products to be can
ned increased from Sc women during
the second week to several times that
number in short time.
Supplementing the work of the
Charleston kitchen are about Is vol

vision of the home demonstration
agent Of Kanawaha county, established
temporary field kitchens in the rural
communities, to which the women
bring their surplus vegetables and

Producers and consumers may find
ii to their advantage to use the parcel
post for marketing Sirups and extract
ed honey, according to a statement
from the bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture. Ex-
perimental shipments of maple cane,
sorghum sirups, and extracted honey,
made from many parts of the country
over many different mail routes, have
shown the possibilities of marketing
these products by parcel post A total
Of 1914 trial shipments were made over
distances averaging 654 miles, a much
greater distance, it Is pointed out, than
sirups are likely to be sent by mail.
OF these shipments only three showed
any material loss of contents because
of seepage or leakage and this was due
TO unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship
ments of sirups and honey. Both
types have screw caps and are pro-
vided with outer cartons of corrugated
paper board. The screw caps contain
snugly fitting pieces of cork that cover
the opening in the cans when the screw
caps are properly closed. As a protec-
tion to the screw caps, squares of cor
rugated paper board are placed ON top
of the cans beside the screw caps.
Such packages properly wrapped and
| securely tied, marked fragile" as re-
CURED by the postal regulations for

High Cost of Containers.
While the cost of containers is high
at the present time, there axe doubtless
many cases in which parcel post mar
keting would be desirable and economi-
cal, as sirups and extracted honey are
good substitutes for sugar. Sugges

NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-JOi w.
Ray Of the Illinois A. c., Chicago,
was the most prominent athlete at
the big indoor meeting held by the
Millrose A. c., at Madison Square
garden here Wednesday night. He
duplicated his victory of Il months
ago in the same arena. when he fin
ished the one and one-half mile spe-
cial race half a lap in front of
George L. Otis, University Of Chica
go. and Clyde j. Stout, who reached
this city from Fort Wayne aviation
camp only Wednesday afternoon.
John w. Ryan OF the Boston A A,
the only other competitor. was a
poor fourth.
Rays time, 6:57 As for the dis
lance, is exactly IL seconds behind
the record he established here in
the event a year ago. Ray contin-
ued until he had completed two
miles in 9:22, which is 10 2-5 sec
onds slower than the time he made
when he beat John OvertOn here
last year at the New York A. c.
games.
The first winner of the night to
pass the judges was Abel r. Kiviat,
former national champion miller and
erstwhile holder of the world 1900
metre record, who finished easily in
front of the big field which started
in the 1000 yard run for enlisted
men. Kiviat, who was in fairly
good shape, showed in front after
running third for half the distance,
and then beat w. F. Gordon, the
Metropolitan mile champion by full
ly 20 yards in the good time of
2:24 LIS.
The one-mile relay race for army
and navy teams resulted in a hot
finish between Howard F. Berry,
University of Pennsylvania, and Tom
Haipin of the Boston A. A, who
were anchor men on the Camp Dix
and Boston naval reserve teams re-
spectively. Berry beat his man by
about two yards at the finish.

was hailed as the miracle manager
Of the Western league by everyone
except his rival managers and they
were mighty glad to see him leave
tie circuit in the winter of 1913 to
manage the Indianapolis club Of
the American association, which was
purchased by McGin.
Taking a tail-end team at Indian
apolis, Hendricks elevated it 10
third place in 1914 and finished in
the same position the following
year. In 1916 his indianapolis club
finished second to the Louisville Col
onels, after one Of the hottest races
in association history. and last fall
they galloped home with a pennant.
following which they won a series

from the pennant-winning Toronto
club OF the international league.
Has Made Good.
With a record of having won five
pennants in ~ years and never
having finished lower than third
place, Hendricks comes to the big
show bringing a world of proof that
he has managerial ability. BY ma
ture Hendricks is a manager Of
scrappy disposition on the ball field.
He is not a rowdy, but he loves an
argument now and then. and he has
a strong pair Of lungs with which
to lay claim to his rights.
He has proven his CALDER as a
tactician by his success as a min
or league manager and there are
but few, If any, managers in the
minors at present who have sent
up more good ball players than

Hendricks like all other minor
league managers, was forced TO dis
pose OF players at times, and in
player deals alone he made $37,-

As manager OF the Cards. where
he can hold onto his star talent.
there is little room for doubt that
Hendricks will success. He IS a
capable judge Of players, a smart
and aggressive manager. and he has
the knack OF making friends. and
that goes a long way toward sue
