Matter Is Brought Here From
Decision OF State Fire
Marshal
SEVERAL WITNESSES
TESTIFY In CASE
Motion For New Trial Sub
mitted; Other Court
House Items

On an appeal from an order of the
state fire marshal, the case of the
State of Ohio vs.. Carl Critchfield was
heard Friday afternoon in the COM
mon pleas court room before Judge
Philip l.. wilkins of the probate
court.
The case was carried to the pro.
bate court by the defendant on an ap-
peal from an order made by the state
fire marshal seeking to compel the
defendant to tear down or repair
buildings located at Bangs. The de-
fendant set up the defense that the
order worked severe hardship upon
him.
The state fire marshal's Office was
represented by Attorney Napper,
while First Assistant Fire Marshal
Joseph P. Hershberger Jr., Assistant
Fire Marshal us. Carlisle, both of
Columbus, and Assistant John Baird
of Newark, were in the city as wit
nesses in the case.
The defendant was represented by
l.. Tate Cromley and Robert l.. Carr.
After hearing the testimony and
arguments in the case, Judge Wilkins
took the matter under advisement.
Late Saturday morning the case
was settled by mutual agreement be-
tween the parties. II. A. Clark, the
lesse of the property at Bangs, agreed
to make the necessary repairs to the
building to comply with the orders of
the state fire marshal. This agree
ment was satisfactory to all, and the
case was settled in the presence of
Probate Judge wilkins and the attor-
neys.

Piccalilli
Wash and cut in small pieces one
half peck of green tomatoes. Sprinkle
set aside overnight. In the morning
drain and then place in a preserving
kettle and add:
One quart of onions, chopped fine,
Ttoo pounds of cabbage, chopped fine,
Sir green peppers, chopped fnc,
-Four red peppers, chopped fine,
T,co stalks of celery, chopped fine.
Now add:
Too and one-haIf quarts Of vinegdr,
Three cups of toater,
T,co and one half cups Of bropn
sugar,
One cup Of pickling spice.
Tie the pickling spice in three small
cheesecloth bags. Bring to a boil and
cook slowly until the mixture is very
thick. Stir frequently. Fill into all
glass jars, seal and finish as for picked
onions.
Pickled and Spiced Beets
Cook the beets until tender and then
fill into Jars. Add one tablespoonful of
picking spices and fill the jar with hot
vinegar. Seal and finish as for picked
onions.
An Old Tomato Catsup Recipe
Wash one basket of tomatoes and a
quarter peck of onions. Cut In pieces
and place in the preserving kettle. Cook
until soft and then turn into jelly bag
and let drip. Turn the pulp of the to-
matoes in the jelly bag into bowl.
Run through a sieve and remove the
seeds and skins. Now place this pulp
in the preserving kettle and add to every
four quarts the following spices, tied in
a piece of cheese cloth:
One quarter ounce Of cayenne,
One-half ounce Of dllspice,
One quarter ounce of cloves,
One -quorter pound of salt,
One CUP of sugar,
One quarter ounce of ginger,
One quarter ounce of mustard.
Tie securely. Add two cups of vim
egar and then bring to boil, and cook
the mixture slowly until very thick.
This usually takes about one and one
half hours. Fill into sterilized bottles
and then place the bottles in preserv-
ing kettle, and fill with water to the
neck of the bottles. Bring to a boil
and boil for ten minutes. Cork or seal.
Remove and then cool. Dip the tops of
the bottles in melted parafin.
This improved method of preparing
tomatoes for the catsup eliminates long
boiling. Place an asbestos mat under
the kettle while cooking all pickles, etc

What Is the Correct Vest?

To the Editor Of Womdm'S Page;
Dear Madam-The illustration at the
TOP OF your column shows a couple Of
men in evening dress ana the fact that
they appear in black vests provoked a
discussion In our family circle as to
the propriety Of such a vest. 1t occur
red TO me that it would be a good idea
to ask you about II.
According to the latest dictates OF
fashion. when Is 1t permissible to wear
a black vest with an evening suit?
A. p. s..
The picture to which you refer was
supplied to the paper by n syndicate,
and as thought In the What's What"
is given more to the words than the
illustration, the black vest must have
been overlooked.
A white vest Is always worn with a
full-dTess suit. The black vest should
be used only with a tuxedo or dinner
coat.
