Girl Apache of Paris
Gives Police Stiff
Battle Before Arrest

PARASITIC exploits of the girl
leader of the gang of "apaches"
have thrilled Paris. Her name is
Henriette Miffonne, alias Yevette,
and she lies today between life and
death in the police inflrmary as the
result Of a wound received while
'esisting arrest few days ago. Pretty
slim, we'll educated, and barely 20
years old 1T was at first thought she
was only an accomplice of half
dozen male gunner of the band ar
rested simultaneously.
That she slipped from taxicab in
which she was seated with four COM
panions when the police attacked
them at Neuilly and sheltering be-
hind a tree to open fire on the inspec-
tos with an automatic, was attributed
to her affection for male criminal
named Degory, who is thought to be
the leader Of the gang which recently
committed number of holdups and
robberies in Paris and suburbs.
Her pistol jammed and she rushed
forward striking viciously with the
butt at policeman graphing with
one of the bandits by the roadside
Y no was trying to draw his gun. An
other inspector was forced to shoot
her down.

DEATH REyIvES TALE
OF ssFIYING DUTCHMAN'

GLOUCESTER, Mass. The burial
Of John Winters recalled to old-time
fisherman a tradition Of a modern
Flying Dutchman" and its ghostly
crew that were believed to roam the
seas in pursuit of q ship that had
sent them to the bottom.
Winters was the last survivor Of
the crew of the Gloucester schooner
Charles Haskell. which in storm in
March, 1859, ran down and sank a
Salem schooner and. its entire crew
on Georges fishing banks. He died
at the Fishermen's Snug Harbor in
his eighty-sec0nd year, reiterating al
most to the last the tale Of the ghost
ship of the fishing banks which was
supposed to have pursued the Has
kell throughout its career.
Once of Eastern point, at the en-
trance OF Gloucester harbOr, Winters
said schooner ran down the wind,
hove alongside the Haskell. and her
phantom crew cluimbed the rigging.
declaring themselves the ghosts OF
the Salem fisherman.
Winters and others Of the Has
kell's crew refused to fish in the ship
again and q new crew was taken on.
These returned with q similar story
of ghostly visitation at sea, took their
dunnage bags and quit.
Another, and still fourth crew
were shipped. but each came to port
with q renewal Of the story Of ship
shrouded in white and q spectral
crew, and the Haskell was hauled
up, unable to get men. She finished
her seagoing as sand freighter and
the Salem ship was not heard Of
again.

NOT SO MANY APPLICANTS
FOR STATE LAND

Tuesday, November 80, was the day
when all applications for leases on
state land should have been filed in
the office of the state land commits
sioner, it was announcSdA ednes-
day by I. H. Nash. The ~ be, how
ever, accommodates apr 4hts until
December 81, but better service can
be assured by early filings.
Due to the drouth, and the result
ant poor crops of the past two years,
applications for leases on state land
not under irrigation have been fewer
than in former years. Many farmers
have been unable to make what is
known as dry farming" pay. Inabil-
ity to obtain money from banks is
also causing many to abandon their
leases.
Farm lands are not alone effected.
Large tracts of state land that have,
in previous years, been leased to
sheep and cattle interests for grazing
proposes will probably be vacant next
year owing to the scarcity Of money
among the stockraisers.

use less SUGAR
FORCOOD JELLY
Canning Experts Of United States
Department Of Agriculture
Give Suggestions.
PROPER QUANTITY OF JUICE
Among Other Materials Which Can
BE Used for Sweetening Are Honey,
Maple Strip, Corn Sugar, Mo
Iasses and Other sirups.

A good jelly should be bright, clear.
and Of an attractive color. When
removed from the glass It should re-
tain the shape of the mold. Jelly
Of the right consistency can be cut
with distinct cleavage, retaining the
angles where cut. It should sparkle
and be tender. enough to culver with
out breaking.
Wash the fruits, remove stems, and
cut large fruits into pieces. With ber-
ries, grapes, and currants add one
cupful of water for each pound of
fruit For apples, ounces, and other
hard fruits add three cupfuls Of wa
ter to each pound of sliced fruit. Cook
until tender. Fruit juices flow more
freely when heated.
As soon as the fruit IL tender 1t
should be put into Jelly bag and al
lowed to drip. II the fruit is over
cooked. cloudy jelly is apt to result.
Can Be Made With Less Sugar.
Good jellies can be made with much
less sugar than many hOusekeepers
thought possible few years ago.
Some persons like these products
made with less sugar better than the
old-fashiOned kinds that were some
times SO sweet that the flavor Of
the fruit was spoiled. Canning ex-
perts Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture give the follow
ing suggestions for using sugar eco
nOmically:
Reduce the amount Of sugar or
dinarily used by one-fifth or one
fourth-that u.s. use four-fifths, or
three-fourths cupful Of sugar instead
Of the whole cup called for In the
recipe. In the case of nOn-acid fruits
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-12-03

particularly, the absence Of sugar will
be less noticeable If one-fourth tea
spoonful Of salt is added for each
cupful Of fruit Juice. The salty taste
will disappear after the product has
stood for few weeks. but the favor
will be richer than II the salt were
not used.
Another way to save sugar is to
substitute for part Of the granulated
sugar called for in the recipe, honey,
maple strip, corn sugar, molasses, the
new malt sirupst which are superior
to those formerly on the market, or
one Of the other sirups sold under
various trade names. Some Of these
sweeteners have a distinctive favor.
and at first It may be best to use
those only with fruits that have
pronounced flavor Of their own, such
as grapes, cranberries. plums, cur
rants, and loganberries.
Quantity Of Juice for Jelly.
About two quarts Of Juice boiled
rapidly In shallow pan gives q jelly
with better color and consistency.
When the proportion Of sugar to
juice has been determined, measure
the fruit Juice and place over the fire
to cook. When the Juice begins to
boil add the sugar Immediately and
stir until the sugar is dissolved. When
the sugar Is dissolved cook the Juice
as rapidly as possible. Long, slow
cooking tends to darken the product
and to destroy the pectin, which will
cause the jelly toEbe less firm.
A good means of determining when
the cooking Is finished is to test the
Juice with a spoon or paddle. Dip
the spoon in the boiling strip, re-
move, cool by moving 1t back and
forth for a few seconds. and then al
low the jelly to drip from 1t. As
long as there Is strip present it will
run from the spoon. When the jelly
point is reached, 1t will break from
The spoon in fakes or sheets. Remove
from the fire Immediately and skim.
Swimming at this time saves waste.
After Swimming pour at once into hot.
;calded glasses and set aside to cool. |
Cool as rapidly as possible.

JAZZ FORTY WAYS

BERLIN.-Have, you heard of tn
Chief Dada?
He is not the head of the bigges
family in Germany, but the chief
tain of a German section Of an al
legged artistic clique. the members o
which call themselves Dadaists.
Precisely what Dadaism is i
would be difficult to say-especiall!
through a telegraph wire. 1t out
jazzes jazz; it has left cubism miles
behind. Competent critics say thai
it is anarchy applied to art.
Dadaist dancing is the dizziest de-
lirium; Dadaist poetry looks like
printers pie; but Dadaist pictures are
quite beyond description.
No one can ever tell what a Da-
daist picture is about. II he could
then it would not be Dadaism, but
some lower form of art, and that Is
just what has caused trouble here.
During the summer the Chief Dada
and his friends held an exhibition OF
pictures. One Of these pictures at
tracted the attention of q member Of
the Reichswehr, or National Army.
He said 1t was an insult.
NO." someone nearby suggested,
'it's fish,"
The Reichswehrman refused to be-
lieve it; the thing was q libel on the
corps to which he belonged. So he
set the law in motion and the chief
attorney, as he could not see the fish
either, was persuaded that 1t was an
insult.
So the Chief Dada and his friends
will soon appear in court to answer
the serious charge of having libeled
the Reichswehr.
The worst of it is that many of the
best people in Berlin have been fore
ed to take up the study of Dadaism
for the purpose Of becoming witness
ses at the trial. Among them are
President Ebert, Prime Minister
Fehrenbach and Herr Scholz, Minister
Of National Economy, The Minister Of
