Making More Money
Mixing OIL and Soda water

Physics and experience teach us that
oil and water won't mix. but Miss Lil-
lian Il. Yeager, Of Fullerton, Calf, has
proved that not only will oil mix with
soda water (fguratively speaking), but
that the combination Will yield returns
- Miss Yeager was a bookkeeper. But
sho wanted to,0 into business OF her
own. She .had no very definite IDEAS
about what kind Of a business 1t was
going TO be. That didn't matter much.
The big point was that IL was to De
a business In her name, for she was
confident that she could make a 90 OF
almost anything In the. commercial line
to which she turned her hand:
of SIS. Miss Yeager finally determined
shop. As she says: TT never occurred
to me that taking apart and putting
together q car might stump me, 50
Il wasn't long before I realised that
the big money would come from selling
machines, and went to headquarters to
secure the agency for weli.known

stock another they told me. But !
couldn't see II that way. I ordered a
carload OF machines. got 'em and solo
'em within three months. That was four
years ago. Since then 1 have sold more
than 275 machines.
"The soda water idea was born OF
the fact that I noticed people killing
time while they waited for minor re-
pairs to be made. Why not give them
some other place to spend their money
while they're buying oil or laying In
a supply OF gas, asked myself. Now,
the as-and oil -and-sod fountain Is
doing tidy little business Of Its own
and my original SIS has multiplied like
a pair of guinea pigs"

why, no; I never have" Mrs. Jes-
sup replied.
Maybe you never have. but-I found
1t necessary this year" interrupted her
friend, "and I believe poor rings are
at the root Of your trouble. hear
the country Is flooded with cheap ones
this yeSr. Everything that enters into
their manufacture and sale has gone
up, and many manufacturers, In order
to put on the market medium priced
product, have reduced the quality in
the rings they are making. I'm told.
A few days or a few weeks after the
jars are stored these rings commence
to deteriorate. the air gets in. and the
contents begin to spoil.
Testing the Rings
"I'd rather waste, few rings test.
ing them than lose whole lot of valu-
able food by not doing 1t. I had to
test several brands, when I started
canning. before ! found one that seemed
to be all right"
How do you test can rings? / don't
understand how you could, but II that's
the cause of my canned stuff spelling
/ want TO know how to test them. I"
II ~use the tests that the United
States Department of Agriculture rec
ommends, replied the visitor. There
are a number Of these tests which may
be applied; but IL a ring passes sue
cessfully the two that I am going to
tell You about, you can be pretty sure
II is all right.
THE first is to cut a six inch piece
out of a ring; take hold of the ends
so that there are four inches between
the fingers; stretch the piece along a
ruler until the fingers are ten inches
apart. The sample should not break.
THE second is what they call the
tensile strength test. Fill a lightweight
pail with one gallon and seven pints
Of water Total weight approximately
seventeen pounds. Place the jar rims
around an empty spool; pass wire
through the center of the spool and
fasten to the handle of the pail; then
pass the round handle of a wooden
spoon or broom through the ring and
lift gently. The ring should not break
"You test the rings before you can dc
anything more and see II they are al
right. There may be something els,
the cause, but l doubt 1t In this in
stance"
