Narrow Escapes From Certain Death Provide Her

Ii is interesting that Miss Walcamp came to
pictures from the musical stage and had never been
closer to a wild animal than the cage bars and pro-
tectiug railing OF the park would permit but
when she arrived at Universal City she practically
haunted the cages OF the animals and in surprs-

in the motion picture thcaters throughout the world,

her directors have asked her to do, but it is in the
new Universal serial The Lions Claws" to be
{ seen at the Princess theater commencing Thursday
Of this week, that she has achieved her ambition,
designating this picture as her masterpiece in ami

EDUCATION IN CANNING
 AT STORRS
Applications Indicate Greater
 interest in Food COnser- VatiOn Course.

Applications are being received at the Connecticut Agricultural College for entrance to the first of series of canning schools which will be held at StOrrs this summer In cooperation with the Committee of Food Supply of the Connecticut State Council of De fense. Indications point to an even greater interest in this work than was the case last year, when over 5W men and women attended the college courses and then returned to their home communities as leaders of food conservation work.
 The first course, which opens June 3, is already filling up, but applica- tiOns received too late for entrance to the initial weeks instruction will be given preference in the later schools which are scheduled for each week following.
 Instruction will be given in three phases of food conservation during the course. The latest methods in canning will be discussed The most up-tO-date methods of drying will be demon strated and instruction will be given In the use OI SuDSEICuLGS- AlU ScHcIut food economy in order that the best use may be made of the foods avail- able and the maximum amount of wheat released for export.
 The College and the Food Commit tee are emphasizing the importance of sending leaders to this school who will be equipped to act as demonstrators and sources of information in their home communities. By the use of this method for disseminating information last year the canning work of the state was made exceptionally valuable and Connecticut was outstanding among the other states of the Union in several phases of this work.
 The entire cost of the course will be $S.5O, which will include board and room for the week. It is urged that applications be made to the Connecti- cut Agricultural College at an early date in order that proper assignments may be made.

PleNna.

"Plevna? I never heard of 1t. I know of nothing later than the four teenth century," said Ruskin, when he was told that the Turkish strong hold had passed into Russian hands 40 years ago. King Ferdinand of Roumania will not forget the anniver- sary. Tfie crown he wears is of steel wrought out of Turkish cannon won by gallant ROumanian soldiers at Plevna He knows what Plevna meant. It meant the redemption of Roumania from Turkish bondage. It is grievOus that the glorious anniver7 sary should fall on a day so dangerous to the fortunes of his cOuntry.--L0n- don Chronicle.
 Concentrate at the Traps.
 You can give man a gun, you may supply him with unlimited ammuni- ton and targets, and let him bang away til the cows come hOme-but you'll never make a trap shot of him until you have taught him to cOncen- trate, says Outing. Concentration is rather an important habit to cultivate, whether you are managing railroad, or shining shoes-but to the man who would succeed at the traps. it is vital. He must forget his surroundings. his score, his neighbOr on the platform, himself-everything in short, except that the target will sail from the trap when he calls ''pull" Let his mind wander for so much as 8 second and +ho chances are that he will have a miss to his discredit.

PREPARE EARLY FOR
 SUMMER CANNINCS,
 SAYS STATE DIRECTOR

The importance of preparing early
 for the summers canning work Is be-
 ing emphasized by Miss NJ. B. Spraguc,
 Home Economies Director for Con
 necticut. Miss Sprague is anxious that
 every woman make sure that she has a
 sufficient quantity of jars on hand as
 early as possible. She suggests that
 the housewife make list of the
 canned fruits and vegetables she will
 need during the coming year and check
 this with the number of glass jars on hand and, if necessary, take immediate
 steps for securing a further supply,
 since there is a possibility of short age in some sections of the state. ? Rubbers should not be used a sec ond time. according to Miss Sprague, and the housewife should insure a
 plentiful supply of these before the
 canning season opens.
 Attention is also called to the series of canning schools which Is being con-
 ducted comparatively at StOrrs by the Connecticut Agricultural College and | the Committee of Food Supply of the ! State Council of Defense, the first Ope 1 opening June 3 and repeated each week as long as the need is apparent.
 The threatened sugar shortage, which has caused considerable concern among housewives, has been to a large extent at least allevlated by the sys- tenn of certificates which will entit!e bonafde purchasers to buy sugar for canning purposes f.
