Authentic reports have reached
this country Of a series of massa-
cres which have ragged III the
Ukraine since last November, which
have resulted in the slaughter Of
10000 Jews. Whole communities
have been wiped out by the soldiery

shevist crusades" and General Girl

cases, were members of the "Black
Hundred" which were .murderous.

sponsibility for the reports of this
staggering crime against helpless
people is borne by the Jewish Ma
tional Secretariat and by the Zionist
Organization of America.

38 towns in Southern Russia where
these massacres occurred. $500

troops have also committed many
pogroms, but their military COM
manders took rigorous measures
against them and had many hun
dreds of soldiers shot who had taken
part in the excesses. But the mill
tary authorities had to yield in the.
end to the anti-Semitic feeling to the
extent of refraining from sending
Jewish Commission to the front.
Three main periods of the
pogroms can be distinguished. The
first period was during the victori-
Gus campaigns of Petliura against
the Hetman November, 1918, to
January, 1919, which includes par
ticularly the terrible pogroms of
Zhitomir and Ovrutch. The second
period was from February to April,
1919, when the Petliura troops were
on the retreat before the Bolsheviks
and countless bands arose. Particu-
larly disastrous was the two-days'
massacre at Proskuroff February.

families were completely wiped out.
When the Central Relief Committee
learned of the pogroms, it sent
Commissioner with 100000 roubles
to Proskuroff to assist the surviv-.
ors. But the Commissioner often did
not know to whom he should give
the money, as there were no sur.
vlvors at all. At Filtschtin, near
Proskuroff, 400 Jews were killed.

lence struck the Jews down one
after the other. At Tcherkassi 800
were killed ; at Litire 400. The whole
population of Bobri, an agricultural
colony, was exterminated, except
one old woman and five children.
The Jewish communities of Kub-
Itch, Alexandrovna, Medjiboge and
Radomysl were wiped out At
Habidievka all the men, 800 in num-
Der, were killed. The town of Novi-
Misgovode was set afre and 200
killed. 400 were killed at Freschtine
and 500 at Harssine.
The report sets forth that at the
present moment the Ukraine is di-
vided into the following regions
of power: Cd Bolsheviks hold the
province of Kieff, Tchernigoff, parts
of Podolia, 'Volhynia, and Ekateri-

Kherson, Poltava, the Crimea, and
parts of the province of Ekaterino-

Directorate) occupies parts of the
provinces of Podolia and Volhynia;

ESSENTIAL FOR JELLY

Many fruits delicious in flavor,
such as Strawberries and pine
apples, if used alone, will not
make firm jelly because they
lack pectin. If pectin is added
to their juice, a firm jelly with
the color and flavor of the fruit
selected can be made.
Pectin in large quantities can
be obtained from oranges and
grape fruit skins. Cut or scrape
the yellow ring from the peel.
Put the white portion through
the food chopper and weigh. For
each pound add two pounds of
water and four teaspoons of lem
on Juice. Mix thoroughly and al
low it to stand Is minutes. Add
two pounds more of water, boil
10 minutes and let stand over
night.
Next morning boil 10 minutes
and allow to cool. Press to re-
move juice and then drain juice
through flannel bag. If not
desired for immediate use, boil
and seal while hot.
For jelly, use equal parts of the
pectin extract and the desired
fruit juice. Boil, add sugar and
continue as with any jelly

HOW TO WASH CORDUROY

Corduroy is kind of cotton velvet
which may be washed providing it is
not rubbed, squeezed, or ironed. If
it is made up at home, stitch the
seams with loose stitch to prevent
puckering when washed. Before
laundering babies coats or other lin
ed garments loosen the lining at the
bottom to avoid bagging. Use a
solution of mild soap, or for dark col
ors which may streak or fade 5olu-
ton fsoap bark. Souse the gar
ment up and down in a soapy water,
changing the water as it becomes
soiled. Rinse in several clear waters
until no more dirt and soap come
out. Hang the garment up dripping
wet and so that it will dry in the
shape in which it is worn. Dry in the
wind if possible When dry, brush
briskly to raise the nap.

"The first time | have worn it and
look at that spot!
Everyone is familiar with that re-
mark, made in an anguished tone OF
voice. The tragedy of spelling new
garment, however, is eliminated if
the unfortunate one knows what rem
edy to apply for that particular kind
of stain.
The removal of stains is neces-
sary feature of the laundering and
general care Of clothing and other
household textiles. Nearly all stains
may be removed easily at home If re-
liable methods are known.
One of the most important factors
is to apply the stain remover while
the stain is still fresh. Drying, ex-
posure to air, washing and ironing,
all make it harder TO remove the
stain. The nature of the stain
should be known if possible before
its removal is attempted, since this
determines the treatment to be adopt
ed. An unsuitable stain remover may
"set" the stains SO its removal be-
comes difficult or even impossible.
TREATMENT DEPENDS ON THE
FABRIC
The kind of fabric on which the
stain occurs also should be known,
for the method of treatment depends
much on the nature, color, weave, fin
ish, and weight of the fabric. Do
not use strong acids on cottor- and
even diluted ones should be neutral
lied afterwards with a suitable al
kali Care also should be taken in
the use of the alkali, as it weakens
.ho FAbric.
After any reagent rinse the fabric
well. 90 not use very hot water on
wool or silk. Rubbing also must be
avoided with these fabrics. Both wool
and silk arc dissolved by strong aka
lis; borax or weak solution of am
monia is more suitable. Acids, with
the exception of nitric, do not attack
silk and wool readily.
With colored materials avoid use
of a bleaching agent which will des-
troy the color of the material, Be
cause of this it is much more difficult
to remove stains from colored materi-
al than from white.

MOVE THEM

GOOD CANNING
Hints on How to Make Each
Jar Produce Real Win
ter Food

See that the kitchen is thoroughly
clean before starting to can or make
jelly. If dust is floating about, mold
spores may enter the jars and cause
the contents to spoil, according to
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture specialists.
Select fruit for canning or jelly
making just before it is perfectly
ripe. Fermentation follows closely
upon the perfectly ripe stage. There
fore, it is better to use underripe than
overripe fruit 1t is especially impor-
tant in jelly making to use underripe
fruit because in overripe the pectin
begins to lose its jelly making quail
ity Pectin is the substance in fruit
which causes the jellying of a pro-
duct made from it.
Fruits and vegetables for preserv-
ing, canning and jelly making, if pos
sible, should be freshly picked
Where it is impossible to use the pro-
ducts Immediately, place them where
they will keep cool and plump until
they can be used If spread in thin
layer they will keep better.
Before preparing fruit, provide
plenty of hot water for boiling jars
and sterilizing rubbers and utensils.
Before preparing the fruit OF veg
etables, start heating water which is
to be used for processing the filled
cans.
Test jars for leaks. Wash carefully
and boil for Is minutes in sufficient
water to cover jars. Leave in hot
water until ready to use.
Watch the Jar Rubbers
Test rubbers. If they can be fold
ed and pinched without cracking and
if a 4-inch section of one can be
stretched until it is 21A times it's

original length, they are suitable for
use. Place in a hot solution made of

ries by putting a small quantity at a
time into .colander OF sieve and
pouring cold water over them.
Prepare only as much of the fruit
or vegetable as can be canned while
it still retains its color and freshness.
Before preparing the product, have
the sirup ready to fill the jars, if fruit
is being canned, or the brine in case
of vegetables. Sirups vary in pro-
portions, to suit individual tastes,
from 2 cups of sugar in A quarts OF
water, to 10 cups of sugar in A
quarts of water. The brine used to
fill the jars of vegetables is made
from 2h ounces of salt and l gallon
of water, except for asparagus, which
requires heavier brine a ounces Of
salt to gallon of water.)
If practicable pare fruit with sill
yer knife so as not to stain OF darken
the product.
Many kinds of peaches may be
peeled easily by dropping in boiling
water about one minute, or until SKINS
slip easily. The skins of some var
ieties stick so tenaciously that lye-
solution is required to remove them.
Use a tablespoons of concentrated
I've in A quarts of boiling water
When skins crack, remove and wash
thoroughly in cold water, and slip of
skins. Cut into halves, and pack
at once, placing the halves in over
tapping layers, pit side down.
Fill the jars with the fruit or veg
etable to within u inch of top.
Do not start to count the time re-
CURED for, processing until the water
is bubblihg after the jars are put In or
if steam pressure Gamer Is useo
until live steam is escaping from the
petcock.
An alarm clock which can be set to
90 off at the end of the time needed
for processing is a convenience IN the
kitchen during the canning season.
When jars are removed after pro
ccssing. make sure the cover is tight
and that they are put to cool in a
place where no draft is very likely to
cause breakage. Turn jars upside
down while cooling as a test for leak
age, except the vacuum type, ana
leave in that position until cold.
Store in a cool, dark, dry place.
