SUBSTITUTES FOR SUGAR

With the sugar shortage more crit
ical than ever, Mrs. Lockwood, home
economics director of the federal food
administration for Arizona, is urging
the wider use of substitutes for sugar
in preserving fruits. She says:
Honey may be used successfully
for canning, but at the present price
it is inadvisable except where per-
sons have a supply which could not
be otherwise used. In canning, use
one-half cup of honey and one cup OF
water to one quart of fruit
Corn syrup is an excellent substi-
tute for sugar, as it lacks the strong
flavor which honey gives to canned
and preserved products.
In canning, use one cup of white
corn syrup and one-half cup of water
to one quart of fruit. For preserves,
one pint of syrup, one-half cup of wa
ter and onehalf teaspoonful of salt
should be uesd to each quart of fruit.
Boil the water, salt and syrup until it
spins thread, pour over the fruit
and cook until thick. Seal in jars.
"Or pack the fruit in sterilized jars,
fill with the thick syrup, and proceed
as in the cold-pack method
"The following table will be found
helpful to housewives in combining
sugar and corn syrup:
Syrup A-Corn syrup. cups; sugar,
5 cups; water, 1-3 cups.
Syrup B-Corn syrup, IL cups
sugar. IA cups; water, s cups.
Syrup Corn syrup, cups; sugar,
2 1-3 cups; water, 7 2-3 cups.
'The above measures are used for
producing one gallon of the finished
product The same proportions may
be used for making less or greater
quantities"

unusual experience at this summer re
sort
Several evenings ago Police Officer
Rhodes, being off duty, decided to try
and forget the heat by visiting the
New York Exposition, which adv-r-
tises sea water bathing. dancing, ex
bibits and entertainments. When the
colored member of the New York Po-
lice force sought to purchase ticket
he was informed that no colored per
sons were wanted.
So insistent did he become in his
efforts to gain admittance that white
police officer was called and told to
arrest the intruder. Rhodes was in
citizens clothes and unknown to his
brother officer. He did not reveal his
identity until the station house was
reached
Rhodes was promptly recognized at
the station house and Immediately
given his release. The officer who ar
rested him acted as if he had been
struck by grenade and offered all
kinds of apologies.
In the meantime, the managers OF
the New York Exposition are trying
to show the colored officer that a
great mistake had been made. Rhodes
says he thinks judge and jury will
agree with the managers that big
mistake has been made and that some
one will lhave to pay dearly for max
ing it.

THE NEGRO SOLDIER


When you speak of the negro soldier.
1t makes the blood run fast.
His cool, courageous record lives
In all wars of the past.
~ esRM
When our country is in danger
He is the first to volunteer;
He thinks of naught but the country's
call,
His heart knows naught of fear.
Would that all men were as loyal
AS the abused and humble black.
Who is as true as steel in time of need.
Though often he is kept back.
When we are at war he does not stop
To think of the many wrongs,
But takes his place with smiling face
In the ranks with our fighting
throngs.
He feels that God is with him
When he goes into the fight.
And hopes that He who rules the
world
Will some day make things right.
You may talk about your heroes
And the deeds of valor done;
But there is none more worthy of our
praise
Than Americas Negro son.
When man has bee nmistreated,
And then goes forth to fight
For those who have cruelty wronged
him,
He is game-be he black or white.
II black troops get fighting chance
And pray God that they will
They'll march right into Berlin
Like they did up San Juan hill.
All honor to the Negro soldier,
May victory his portion be,
All hail the mistreated hero
Who is fighting for you and me.
When this great war is ended,
And the dove of peace draws nigh.
We will all share in Democracy
Or know the reason why.

has all kinds of reasons why he

First, he doesn't want to get shot;
second, he wants to return to Russia !;
third, he wants to be placed in class 5

Uncle Sam is interested in John and

with him, via the court martial route.

Everybody knows that the people of
Illinois are called Suckers" and
those of Wisconsin Badgers" but ev-
erybody doesn't know why.
A long time ago. in the lead region
of Wisconsin. there were two classes
of miners-those who worked at the
mines the year around and those who
came from Illinois to operate during
the summer only. Those who stayed
permanently used to dig burrows in
the hillside and there they cooked, ate
and slept. They were therefore called
badgers" on account of their burrows.
And because the IIlinoisans usually
came in the spring and went in the
fall, at the same time the suckers in
the river migrated. the term Sucker"
was applied to them.

On August II. 1907, the first steam
boat. the Clermont, made trial trip
on the Hudson river, covering the dis
tance from New York to Albany in SO
hours, journey which had formerly
required from seven to ten days. 1t
Travelled at the rate of five miles an
hour.
Robert Fulton, the invetnor of the
steamboat, had invented various ma
chimes, flax spinners. rope twisters,
and canal locks, and had been contin-
ually occupied with these inventions
up to the time he turned his attention
to the subject of steam navigation in
American commerce, which was then
considered practically impossible. He
had made many failures, but he must
have taken for his motto the old saw,
''If at first you don't succeed. try, try
again." for he persisted-and sue
ceeded
There are now no details of the con-
struction and cost of the first steam
boat extant, but Fulton left written
description of the first trial trip, which
is often quoted The boat was probably
propelled by beam engine with the
paddle wheels unclosed, and may have
been equipped with sails.
To this same inventor belongs the
honor of constructing. in 1914, the first
steam war vessel ever built by the
United States.
Like many inventors, he failed to
protect his creations properly, and. like
many of these patient workers, he died
without reaping the benefits of his toll
and without knowing how wonderful
his inventions were.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING
BY A. R. S.


The great European war, which has
involved nearly every nation in the
world, began August l, 1914.
On August 2, Germany demanded
that Belgium grant her permission to
pass through the country for strategic
reasons in her campaign against
France. Belgium, thus confronted with
the choice of granting the demand or
protecting its independence and neu-
trality, chose the latter course.
Under the guidance of her ruler,
King Albert, this little country, about
one-fourth the size of the state of
Pennsylvania, unprepared, with hand
full of men pitted against Germany's
trained armies, has had to pay heavily
for that decision, and it has become
the battle-ground Of Europe.
Its works of art have been de.
stroyed, it's cities burned. its farms
devastated and it's people killed,
MANNED or put into slavery.
