finally look is described thus by Mr..
Litchfield:
ION the axis Of the main approach,
standing out in firm silhouette against
the background of the bay and the dis
tant hills Of Center Island, should be
great fiagpole with a monumental
base, which will be forever reminiscent
of the coloners intense love for the
American flag. At the end of the la
COON there should be a fountain, and
beyond it long approach from the
west between thickly planted native
American shrubs and low-growing
trees; laurel, wild honeysuckle, dog
wood, beech and ash forming a dense
dark foliage in contrast to the gravel
walks, the reflection Of the sky In the
lagoon and the bright deep blue of the
bay itself"
1t has also been suggested to the
Roosevelt Memorial association that
as elms are the most beautiful trees
for the park it would be an excellent
idea to call upon the farmers Of Long
Island and Connecticut to donate spec
linen elm trees to the association.
The site of the proposed park is of
great natural beauty. The ensemble
effect would be somewhat similar to
the beautiful park at Versailles, where
the peace conference was held, but it
will be typically American in spirit and
conception. There will be no ATTEMPT
on the part of the architect to initiate
the Versailles scheme. The proposed
lagoon will look like a diamond set in
green jade, and, through a fringe of
elm trees the spectator will get a
glimpse Of the Roosevelt forum. Over
all will wave the Stars and Stripes
that the colonel loved so well. In ev-
cry way the aim will be to suggest the
virile personality Of the man who was
first, last and all the time an American.
Referring to the flagpole with monu-
mental base which forms, in a way, the
center Of the formal scheme, Mr. Litch-
field suggested that some day the base
might be the final resting place of the
great mans mortal part.
May Cost 81, 500, 900.
The cost Of the memorial has been
variously estimated. beginning with
sums less than $1,000,O00. But those
who have studied the plan feel that
81, 10000 should be raised to assure
its complete realization. Although the
memorial is In some extent local, In a
larger view it concerns the whole ma
ton. The sum given Is very small,

tom is no longer producing acetic
acid.
Keep In Dark Place.
After adding the vinegar, cover with
cloth and keep in a dark place be-
tween 20 and 80 degrees. Do no dis
turb the film that forms, for this is the
true mother and do not exclude the
air. Taste the juice every week. and
when it ceases to increase in acid or
is as sour as desired, siphon off and
store in kegs or bottles. Fill full and
stopper tight. II this is not done the
acid will gradually disappear and the
vinegar will "turn to water" The
same bacteria that produces the acid
will also destroy it if allowed to grow
unhindered. If the directions are fol-
lowed, especially as regards tempera-
ture, the process will usually be COM
pleted In six weeks to two months,
where only few gallons of juice are
used.
Many fruit juices are turbid after
fermentation. while others, particularly
apple vinegar, may clarity themselves
spontaneously. One Of the simplest
ways of filtration to use in the home
manufacture of vinegar Is to thorough
/ ly mix about teaspoonful Of fuller's
earth or animal charcoal with a quart
of vinegar and filter through filter pa
per.
It is a common practice with many
people to make household vinegar from
fruit parings and cores, cold tea, and
even from the water in which potatoes
or other vegetables are boiled. Sugar,
Of course, is added, just as In the case
Of fruit juices that do not contain sufa-
Gent sugar.

1t is interesting, in view Of the pres
ent movement, to recall the fight that
was made several years ago by some
Of the citizens of Oyster Bay for q
park-a fight that resulted in failure,
but which aroused the interest of Col
onel Roosevelt, who did what he could
at that time to arouse the enthusiasm
of his fellow townsmen over the
project.
For years the townspeople declined
to take any action to secure the just
rights which a few of them had in
frequently enjoyed" wrote Colonel
Roosevelt during the winter of 1918 In
describing this unsuccessful battle for
the park: 'Then the selfish miscen-
duct of one or two property owners
who sought to deny all proper access
to their beaches reused feeling which
manifested itself in a foolish and vic
ious effort-at one time a mob effort
to destroy the docks and thereby pre-
vent the property owners of access to
their saflboats. The motive seemed
to be less to secure their own rights
than to interfere with those Of whom
they were jealous. Recourse to the
law finally settled the right Of the
property owners to their docks and
their duty to keep openings in the
docks so that the clammers and the
rare wayfarers along the beach would
not be interfereG with.
But this did not help those farm
ers or villagers who occasionally wish
ed to come to the beach for bathing
or boating A few public-spirited per-
sons therefore started a movement for
a park, with a long stretch Of beach.

Start Fermentation.

After the Juice has been squeezed
out add a fresh yeast cake to every
Eve gallons Of juice. A good fermenta-
tion often results from chance inocu-
lation with the wild yeast of the
air. This is the method ordinarily fol-
lowed in making cider vinegar. Ex-
periments have shown, however, that
much stronger vinegar can be made
by using yeast to start the fermenta-
ton. Work the yeast up thoroughly

TO keep insects from Il and allow to
ferment. The best temperature for
fermentation is between 80 and 80 de-
grees. Do not put in cold cellar or
the fermentation win be too slow. At
90 to so degrees alcoholic fermenta-
ton will usually be complete. in from
three to four days to week, or when

cessation Of bubbling. The next step
In the process is acetic acid fermenta-
ton, during which the alcohol Is
changed into aeetic acid.
After the bubbling stops It win be
found advantageous to add some good
strong vinegar in the proportion Of one
gallon Of vinegar to three or four gal
Ions Of fermented juice. Usually, how
ever, no vinegar is added and the In
Oculation of the fermented juice with
acetic acid bacteria Is left to chance.
This chance incubation generally pro
duces a more or less satisfactory prod.

results are much better. Instead Of

Fruits sor Making Vinegar.

Vinegar is usually made from apples,
although grapes and oranges are also
used to some extent. Certain other
fruits, such as blackberries. figs,
peaches, watermelons (after concentra-
ton Of juice), sorghum and cane strip
have been used with good results. Many
wild fruits, such as the blackberry, ell
derberry, and persimmon, which IRE
Quently are not completely or properly
utilized, will make excellent vinegar.
AS a matter of fact, any wholesome
fruit or vegetable juice can be used for
vinegar making, provided it contains
sufficient sugar. Some fruits, such as
the guava or Kieffer pear, contain only
Eve to eight per cent Of sugar, which
Is not sufficient to make strong, sat
Isfactory vinegar.
Fruit used for making vinegar
should be sound and fully ripe, for
ripe fruit contains more sugar and con-
sequently produces a stronger vinegar.
Partially decayed fruit is no better for
vinegar making than for eating and
should not be used. Select sound, ripe
fruit, wash thoroughly, and remove all
decayed portions. Crush either in
machine made for this purpose, such as
q cider mill, or for small quantities,
a food chopper. Squeeze out the
juice in a press and put into clean
barrel, keg or crock for fermentation.
Great care should be taken to have
ali the utensils thoroughly cleaned,
and to handle the fruit in Clearly
manner. If old kegs or barrels, espe-
cIally old vinegar barrels, are used,
they should be cleansed thoroughly
and all traces of the old vinegar re-
moved. If this is not done the old
vinegar will interfere with the alco-
holIc fermentation and possibly spoil
