The chIorinator. which arrived in

According to Engineer G. L. Hop

MUST BE ON JOB.
Railway Employees in Topeka
To Have No Time OFF.
Meanwhile They Will Be Paid
for All Overtime.

Employees in all departments of
both the shops ana offices of the Santa
Fe railway in Topeka. as well as over
the rest of the system, are placed on
strict time basis of pay. under or
ders received here, signed by w. B.
Storey, federal manager of the road
In addition to providing for the
payment of overtime on an S-,Asur
working day basis in all office. oYer-
Aating and mechanical departments. the
iorder also holds that time lost by en-
pIoyes because of sickness or any
loted time for vacations or holidays,
must be deducted from their pay
checks
The order affects every Santa Fe
employe in Topeka. Several officials
of the road this m hing asserted th{t
the order does not change the basis
of pay materially over that formerly
in effect. Many employees, however,
held a different opinion.
The majority of the Santa Fe office
departments, it was asserted. have not
previously been on time but
straight monthly basis. Sickness. in
many cases, was not cause for deduc-
ton of pay A half day or day "off"
did not mean the deduction of pay for
the corresponding time. On the other
hand however. it is pointed out that
the employees will receive regular time
for overtime when continuing over
the regular hours and time and a half
when called back out of regular hours.
Considerable criticism of the order,
especially among union employees, was
heard today. Nonunion men and
women also took a shot, at the or
der. This order" said one employee
today, simply puts everyone in rail-
road work on a common basis and the
fellow that wants to work a little
harder and get ahead hasn't got
chance" The order. it is said. is the
outgrowth of government action on

To Specialize.
1t is a good plan to specialize at
first. One woman has made success
of selling jellies and preserves. Sne
first made jelly of three kinds-appie.
grape and currant-and she is grad
ually adding new kinds of jelly to her
list. She has built up a big business
with the help of her two daughters,
who do the greater part Of the house
keeping, for which she pays each
regular salary. One of the daughters
assumes the duties of chauffeur and
takes all the canned product to mar
ket that is not sent by express or
parcel post, and performs other duties
of a chauffeur, even to keeping the
automobile in repair.
Putting up pickles Is another prof
table line. and money can be made
from the sale of certain sauces. Wom-
en- who can make good mince meat
may count on doing & good business.
There are f1rst-class groceries in
every city who accept such goods be-
SduoC tIcy nave
who demand labels with ete magic
word, home made" When fruit is
very attractive. the grocers give 1t
a good window display and liberal
advertising.
Besides disposing of fruit to a gro
Gerry, there is still more profitable
market in private orders direct to the
consumer. One woman who lives on
fine fruit farm. twenty miles from
a city, created a trade for her fine
preserves in business-like way.

The Best Methods With
Fruit and Vegetables
Use of the Fireless
Cooker-R e du Gin e
Household Expenses.

One way Of reducing expenses, or
rather adding to the family income, is
for the housewife to add to the re-
sources in some way, and the easiest
and most profitable way for her to do
this is to prepare some article of food
to sell. The difficulty in obtaining
servants at present makes the sale OF
such things very easy. Many city
housewives are on the lookout for
ways in which they can lessen the
work required in keeping house COM
fortably, and are prepared to purchase
a great many articles Of food which
they formerly thought had to be pre-
pared at home.
Canning by the fireless method is a
great labor saver, and by canning in
this way the house is kept cool, fuel
is saved and the worker will be free
from the fear of water boiling away.
Clean and prepare vegetables and
fruit the same as for all canning. Sc
lect beets of uniform size and leave
them in the cooker three and one-half
hours. Caulif1ower should be sepa-
rated into it's fiowerets and well wash
ed to free from insects. Leave in the
cooker three hours. Asparagus. peas

of the trees in the Old Orchard.
Instantly Jenny Wren popped her
head out of her doorway She cooked
her head one side to listen, then
looked down at Peter. IT don't hear
any strange voice." she snapped.
1.-THE way you are staring, Peter Rab-
bit, one would think you were hear
ing something new and worth while"
Just then there were two or three
sharp, squeaky notes from the top
Of one of the trees. There" cried
Peter. There! Didn't you hear that.

"For goodness sake, Peter Rabbit.
know whose voice that is?" cried
Jenny. That's Rosebreast. I didn't
suppose there was any one who didn't
know that sharp. squeaky voice. 1t
rather gets on my nerves. What any
body wants to squeak like that for
is more than I can understand"
At that very instant Mr.. Wren be-
gan to scold as only he and Jenny
can. Peter looked up at Jenny and
winked slyly. "And what any one
wants to scold like that for when he

haven't told me who Rosebreast is
1.-THE Grosbeak, of course, stupid"
sputtered Jenny. IF you don't know
Rosebreast the Grosbeak, Peter Rab-
bit, you certainly must have been
blind and deaf ever since you were
born. Listen to that! Just listen to
that song"
Peter listened. That song was COM
ing from the very tree from which
had come those squeaky notes few
minutes before. Peter looked puz-
zled. do you mean Welcome Robins
song?" he asked, sheepishly.
mo. I don't mean Welcome Robins
song" snapped Jenny. "What good
are a pair of long ears II they can't
tell one song from another? That
song may sound something like Well
come Robins, but it's different, and
it's better. That Is Rosebreast sing
ing, and there he is right in the top
Of that tree. Isn't he handsome?"
Peter looked UP to see bird near
ly the size of Welcome Robin. His
head, throat and back were black.
His black wings had patches Of white
on them. But his breast made Peter
catch his breath with a little gasp
of admiration. It was a beautiful
rose red. The rest of him underneath
was white. It was Rosebreast the

Edward J. Ward of the Interior De-

Post Office Department in the estab-
lishment Of the parcel post market
ing In community centers, told his ex-
perfences In Park View. The commu-
nifty center there is being used for
cooperative buying, he said, and also
for selling. The parcel post, he said,
is being used with much success for
marketing. Fresh eggs are sold to
members of the Park View Commu-
nifty Center at 4S cents a dozen, and
the same eggs are bringing 60 cents
and up in the city. Park View citizens
paid 40 cents a quart for oysters when
people in Washington were paying so

said, purchase as many as 500 dozen
eggs week. and on Wednesday a car

Stall Renting Blamed.
Col. c. A. Williams, U. S. A., re-
tired. blamed the system Of renting
stalls in the city markets for part
Of the high cost of living. The sys-
tenn by which the stalls must be
leased by the year makes an added
expense to the dealer who does not
keep open the entire year. he said.
Capt. T. Connor, an Englishmen, de-
scribed to the committee the opera
ton Of cooperative wholesale pur-
chasing carried on in Great Britain.
He said 1t has enabled the people to
keep prices from soaring. The es-
Enlistment of similar cooperative
societies here. he said, would work
well. They could conduct markets
bakeries, restaurants and laundries
as they do in England. He said there
were zoo such societies in England
doing business of $100,000,O00 a
year.

mittee will be continued on Monday

CANNING AND PRESERVING FOR HONE AND MARKET.

Every fall a large fair was given In
the city for Charitable purposes. She
re nted. small booth on a percentage
basis. A local paper published a list
OF the women Interested IN the fair'
which included every prominent wom-
dresses by the aid of the city dtrec-
tory and wrote to them, asking them
II they would sample her goods at
the fair. Hhey came, and samphng
meant, in nearly every case. either a
sale or an order for supply or rruit

band can raise. Occasionally market
Tor fruit may be secured Dy orders
from woman's exchange, hotel,
boarding house, seminary, college or
some of the numerous country clubs
which cater to a wealthy and fas-
tidious public.
The Proper Methods.
Prepare for your work of canning
IN the right way. A long-sleeved
show stains and will save your good
aprons. Pieces of old material for
holders and cloths to wipe utensils
Will likewise save good toweltng, and
the table will be absolutely clean If
several sevra layers Of newspaper are
l.
ger of juice being dropped upon a
good floor or linoleum, papers should
be spread there also
Many fruits are better when COM
bined with others. For instance, jelly
of apples and pears have pear flavor
with apple firmness; Strawberries and
gooseberries make good jam; to five
quarts of strawberries add two quarts
of gooseberries, either green or turn
ing red. Tomato preserves are i'm
proved with sliced orange; combine
ounces with apples: gooseberries,
currants and raspberries in equal
pars make good jam; elderberries
combined with green grapes, goose
berries or crabapples make good jelly;
mix black currants and red currants
for jam; ripe red currants and ripe
gooseberries make delicious pre-
serves; blackberries are much i'm
proved by a cup of currant Juice being
added to each jar of fruit When cam
ming peaches, make peach butter or
from the Feelings.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-08-01
It Is Well to Know That:

nine glasses of jelly; six pounds of
peaches will yield eight pint jars of
preserves; seven pounds of peaches
will yield fifteen glasses of MARINA
lade; one peck of ounces will yield
twenty-one glasses of jelly; four
quarts of crabapples, measured after
cutting small, will yield ten glasses
of jelly.
The time at which fruit is at it's
best for canning, jelly making and
preserving is just before 1t is per-
fectly ripe. Drop apples, pears.
peaches and all light-colored fruit
into bowl of cold water before
cooking. to prevent discoloration. II
you cut clingstone peaches around,
instead of lengthwise, and then give
each end a little twist, the halves will
come clear of the stone. Do this be-
fore peeling, as after peeling they
are too slippery. In each jar of can
ned peaches leave two peaches with
the stones in them to improve the
flavor. Use a pair of sugar tongs
when canning peaches or pears, to
pack the fruit in the jars. With them
you can place each piece where you
want 1t and pack the jar closely.
J Pour boiling water over pears and
let them stand until cool enough to
handle. The skins will then come Off
very easily and the cores will slip
out much more easily and smoothly,
