Haskell & Barker

uestion-Will you kind enourn to give
me your opinion on Haskell & Barker ?
d. G.
Answer-The Haskell G. Barker Car
Company is capitalized at 100000
shares of no par value, with no funded
debt, has shown very satisfactory earn
ing powers during the last three wears.
For the year ended January 81, 1920
the equivalent Of $14.59 a share was
earned. Dividends of $4 share are
paid. With the great need for equip
meat by the railroads this company
would appear to be in a position to
benefit from the anticipated placing of
orders for rolling stock.

Tells How to Can Fruit Without Sugar

Fear of a sugar shortage need not
prevent the industrious housewife from
starting in on canning, according to
the State College of Agriculture of
New Brunswick, N J. Not sugar, but
sterilization, prevents canned fruit
from spelling, and the attention of
women generally is invited to the
cold pack method" of canning, with
out the use of sugar, the fruit being
sweetened when used.
"a sugar shortage such as we are fac
ing now should not keep any house
wife from doing her quota of canning
this wear. 1t is the sterilization that
counts, and the cold pack method, if
properly followed, will keep the fruit
perfectly without sugar Let none go
to waste. Food is likely to be both
scarce and high in price next winter,
and it is the economic duty of every
family to put up all surplus fruit
this summer" says bulletin OF the
college.
The housekeeper is urged to com
mence with the rhubarb, which sug-
gests great deal Of sugar, but it can
be sweetened just as well next win
ter when it is being used for pies.
The cold pack method" is not new,
but there are many housewives who
know nothing about it. Many have
heard of it, and have only hazy idea
OF it, having failed to try what they
considered an innovation, preferring to
| follow the kind-that-mother usedto-
make methods. 1t consists in dipping
/ the fruit in boiling water, one to three
minutes, according to hardness of fruit
and then in cold water 1t is then
packed in hot jars, and boiling water
in place OF boiling syrup poured over
it. Loosely sealed, the jars full oil
fruit are boiled, with the use of a rack
and boiler, for from 10 to 20 minutes
according to the character Of the fruit
The Home Economics Department Of
the State Agricultural College is pre-
pared to furnish advice or further in
formation to anyone applying for it.

Pope Blesses N. Y. Woman
Who Aided ItaIy's Babies
Mrs. Drake, Head of American
Free Milk Society, Receives
Thanks for War Work

Pope Benedict has conferred his
apostolic blessing on Mrs. John A,
Drake, president of the American Free
Milk and Relief for Italy, it was an
nounced yesterday by the organization,
Al those who contributed to the relief
of babies in Italy during war time are
included in the blessing. The an
nouncement said:
The Pope expressed deep gratitude
for the work that is being done. per
sonally and in behalf of the thousands
OF children whose lives have been
saved. The message was in the form
OF letter written by Cardinal Gas
narri at the dictation of the Pope. A
direct message from the Pope is a dis
t1nction which the Vatican rarely ac-
cords to layman, and still more rarely
to woman.
"The Pope recently established a
hospital for tuberculosis victims at
Monte Mario, for which milk is being
supplied by the American Free MIX
for Italy.
Mrs. Drake has made ARRANGEMENTS
to sail next Saturday for another ex
tended tour Of Italy in the interest of
rellet work among the orphans of that
country. Her tour will include a visit
to the Vatican and formal presenta-
tion to the King and Queen of Italy.
She will be accompanied by Mrs. Wal

Rev. E. Daniels Accuses Marcus

Marcus Garvey, head of the Univer

now IN convention, was denounced foi
his alleged increasing violence and
fiery utterances by the Rev. E. Dan.
iels, colored pastor of ST. Philips P. E
Church, 134th Street and Seventh Ave.
nue., yesterday Mr.. Daniels charged
Garvey with being guilty Of the white
mans fallacy Of thinking only Of hii
own race, instead Of the good Of all
mankind"
In his sermon the pastor drew an
analogy between Moses and Garyeyi
since the latter has been styled by his
friends The Moses of the Negro" and
said that Moses, when he adopted the
policy of force and slew the Egyptian
who was fiogging a Jew, was guilty oi
manslaughter.
1--WE are allowing ourselves to be
misrepresented by the convention
speakers at l38th Street" he said
white men have forced the question
of color to the point of stupidity, bu'
the fanatics Of our race are just az
stupid"
Continuing. he said in part:
'At Liberty Hall | heard one speak
er say: we are going TO have democ..
racy in this country, if we have TO kill
every white man in it. Are YOU pre-.
pared to follow such leadership al
this? Our task is to find honorableI

TERIJOKI, Finland Russian Frontier,
Aug. 20 (By The Associated Press -
A frst-hand view of Petrograd and
Moscow. those two centers of Soviet
rule which are Theoretically scaled
against outside observers, was obtained
by The Associated Press correspondent
just prior to his deportation to this
point.
Moscow is a city teeming with actv-
ity, it's streets, squares and bazaars
crowded with people, and with little
outward evidence of distress, except
the daily struggle of people seeking
their allotted quota of food. But Petro-
grad, once one of the busiest and gay-
est capitals in the world, is city of
deserted streets, with only scattered
groups of people in those ccntcrs which
were formerly the scenes of greatest
activity.
Traversing the entire length of tho
NevSN Prospect, formerly the grand
boulevard running from the Neva
River, one passes fewer than a hun
drcd people. Along the banks of the
Neva, from the Winter Palace down to
the Alexandrovsky Bridge, cordwood is
piled high along the beautiful marble
and stone balustrades and throughout
the streets.
Conscripts Provide Fuel
1t is being unloaded from barges
by enforced labor. After the CON
script labor finishes its days work,
groups of men and women gather
through the night to carry away stray
bits of wood remaining for their win
ter supply of fuel. Women are among
the workers on the barges, standing
