FURNITURE FOR GIRLS CLUB
Donations Needed to Make Rooms
Comfortable and Attractive.

Don't let it slip your mind that You
were going to look over your furni-
ture with the idea in mind of decid
ing which piece or pieces you could
best donate to the club rooms of the
girls federation. Many rooms are
100 crowded with furniture. They
will look better IL chair or two is
taken out And look about in your
rooms to see il there isn't rug you
can spare.
Club life means much to the girls,
and the first thing girl axis about
in connection with her club. is the
rooms. The Rainbow federation has
fine rooms but is desperately in need
of furnishings. Won't the coed 2eo-
pie of Bennington take an interest in
Quitting these girls and loan or give
one Or two pieces OF furniture. One
or two large tables could be used to
advantages, and chairs galore, and
rugs.

PRESERVE FRUIT BY
FREEZING in CRATES
Department Of Agriculture Says
Method Is More Satisfactory Than
CANNING.

Washington, Aug. S0.--Fresh berries
and cherries in m.dwinter are possible
the experts of the Department Of Az
riculture announce after extensive
experiments, Successful methods Of
storing fruits and berries in frozen
condition have been demonstrated
and, the government experts say,
these should be more fully utilized
in relieving the market of surplus re-
ceipts of highly perishahle fruits while
in sound, edible condition. They de-
clare that preservation by freezing is
cheaper than canning, especially, when
tin containers are costly, as at pres.
ent, and an important industry of
steady development is looked fer in
this line
Fruit held at proper temperatures,
the experts say,has more natural
favor than when canned or dried and
is fully as satisfactory as fresh fruit,
is superior to canned and dried fruit
in making ice creams and sherbets,
and for cooking in the form of pies,
preserves, iellies and other desserts
and confections.
Strawberries, red and black raspber'
ries, blackberries, loganberries blue
berries gooseberries, currants, and
! sour cherries have been found to keen
successfully after being frozen. Ber
ries can be frozen in the crates in
which marketed in temperature from
10 degrees Fahrenheit to zero and be
low and withdrawn from cold storage
when wanted. The fruits become
waterlogged when taken out and col
lapse and therefore must be used i'm
medately Government experts say
however, that they retain their natura
flavor and in every way are compar
able to the best fresh products,

jority through failure of several of the
suffrage members to arrive on time

Washington. Aug. 31-State De-
partment Officials in the absence of
Secretary Colby tonight hesitated to
express an opinion as to the effect on
suffrage ratification of the action of
the Tennessee House in recons der
ing its vote on the ratification resolu-
tlon and then voting not to concur in
the Senates ratification,
The situation presented by the ac.
tion of the Tennessee House, it was
held, however, was one with which
the State Department was not at
present concerned The act of Secre-
tary Colby in proclaimng the suf-
frage amendment part OF the Con,
sutution was based on a certification
by the Governor of Tennessee as re.
quired by law. Accordingly, it was
held that unless the Governor should
rescind his Gertificaton or unless the
cert fication should be declared in
valid by the courts, the State Depart
ment had no interest in the matter
