May Open Way
For Freshmen
CRv Associated Press,

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. with the
approach Of the football season, one
of the Important questions before col
legiate authorities is the suggestion
that freshmen be permitted TO play
on the regular varsity teams.
It is pointed out that wartime
activities have made great inroads
into the ranks OF college athletes, and
that the calIber of football teams this
fall likely would be far below those Of
previous years.
While no formal move in the Ques-
ton has been taken by any OF the
large collegiate conferences. unofficial
opinions of athletic directors and 9th
err authorities have shown a division
on the question.
The first athletic head in Iowa TO
express himself definitely regarding
the proposal is Clyde Williams, direct
or Of athletics at Iowa State (Ames)
college. He is opposed to permitting
the freshmen to play at the larger
colleges and universities, but thinks
they should be allowed to compete at
the smaller institutions.

GERMANS REER.PolsoNEp.

This from an article by Professor
DAILY of Harvard, in the New York
Times:
"a mildly alcoholic state is usually
not conspicuous by very decided lack
Of efficiency or of social decorum In
the poisoned man. Hence the effects
of steady beer drinking are not as
striking as in the case of persons pol
soned with whisky, rum, or absinthe.
Yet venture the hypothesis that life
long drinking of mild beer has been
one Of the most potent causes for the
amazing brutalities Of official Ger
many. Those crimes have been or
Iered by men who, for decades. have
been poisoned by beer. In times Of
peace and quiet the poisoning causes
arrangement Of brain tissue, often ex-
pressed merely in some form of senti-
mentality, plain or maudlin. II, how
ever, the victim is put under stress,
his nervous disorder is likely to lead
to bad temper and bad judgment, with
endless possibilities in the way Of loss
of dignity, poise, and the sense of hui
man fellowship. The final result here
considered is the development OF true
savagery."

PEPPERS

The best sweet peppers for canning
are the Spanish varieties known as
pimentos. The fruit Of these peppers
has very thick fresh, tough skin, and
is comparatively smooth and free from
ridges. The bell peppers are not suit
able varieties for canning. Peppers
should be ripe, sound, and free from
bruises. Sort, using the whole peppers
for canning and small or broken pep
pers for products such as sauces,
soups, chutneys, and Dixie relish. Pre-
pare for peeling by roasting peppers
in a hot oven from six to eight min.
utes being careful not to allow them to
scorch. Peel, cut out stem, remove
seeds, and pack dry In flattened layers.
No water or seasoning is used in the
preparation of these peppers; the
processing brings out thick liquor
which almost covers them In the previ-
ously boiled Jars. Partially seal jars,
sterilize process by boiling) pint jars
for 30 minutes Cool and test for
leaks.
When steam-pressure Gamer is
used, process pints ten minutes under

APPLES

Apples shrink more in canning than
most fruits, and for this reason should
be blanched for one minute. Plung'
them into cold bath, then pack:
Cover with strip made Of Ia ounces
of sugar to one gallon of water and
process quart jars IL minutes. Other
sirups can be used in place Of a part
Of the sugar usually required.
This method Of canning apples is
not economical, because the apple is
juicy and needs no water added. A
better method, perhaps. is to make a
sauce out of the apples. This may be
done by steaming them until tender
and passing them through the sieve.
