and Lord Astor. who wore the ex-
preston of a reserve man perfectly
satisfied that he would not be called
upon, and was glad OF II. and she did
so with all her usual grace, charm,
wit and Characteristic nimbleness.
The people who had never seen her

with those attracted rather by her
presence than to hear the Duncan

youthful figure, her rather frail
beauty and her complete command

played as a great musician plays
upon his instrument. How easy 1t

voters OF Plymouth of their feet and
how easy II will always be. She
has that rare gift which enables her
TO win laughter at any moment-the
gift of a born comedian. She has
also, an irresistible personality, and
manner, a sudden flash of teeth, a
sense of being out on a spree which

frightful pomposity and the hideous
platitudes that nearly always govern
public speaking. especially as il is In

She surprises; she fills the eye; she

AT LAST
CFrom the New York Tribune)

The President has at last acted
in the coal strike. His proposal TO
the operators and miners includes:
The immediate resumption of min
ing at the present wage scale.
The appointment of a commission
composed of three representatives Of
the miners. three of the operators
and five appointed by the govern
ment TO determine. within thirty
days If possible. a temporary wage
scale to be effective until March 81,
1928.
The investigation by this commits
sion of "every cost of production and
transportation"
The making of recommendations
by this commission for permanent
peace in the coal industry and the
elimination of waste and intermit-
tency in production.
To neither side will this program
be altogether acceptable. but it can
be rejected only at the cost of public
sympathy. 1t is obvious that the
deadlock between miners and opera
tors cannot be broken by direct ne
gotiations. 1t is equally obvious it
cannot be allowed to continue in

Is to make sure that the coal which

How to Make
Blackberry Jam
New, Economical Method
BY Ann Proctor

Everyone who likes fresh black
berry pie will love blackberry Jam.
Particularly when all the flavor of
ripe blackberries is preserved in the
jam. Such blackberry jam is now
possible in every home.
The new Certo process for maxi
ing blackberry jam Is. very simple:
Crush well in single layers about 2
quarts ripe berries. using wooden
masher, crushing each berry and
discarding all green parts. Add juice
of / lemon. Measure level cups
g lbs.) crushed berries. including
lemon juice. into large kettle. Add
IN leveled cups (3A lbs.) sugar
and mix well. Stir hard and con-
stantly and bring to a vigorous boil
over the hottest fire. Boil hard for
one full minute with continual stir
ring. Remove from fire and add p
bottle (scant half cup) Certo, stir
ring Il in well. From the time lam
Is taken off fire allow to stand 5
minutes only, by the clock. before
pnring. In the meantime skim, and
stir occasionally to cool slightly.
Then pour quickly. Makes 10 half
pound glasses of jam. To make
Certo blackberry jelly. see Certo
Book of Recipes.
BY this short "Certo Precess" you
use ripe blackberries and save all
the color and flavor that Is boiled
away by the old method. Time and
worry are saved and you have )
pounds Of jam from pounds Of
berries as compared 70 3 pounds OF
jam by the old method.
The above recipe and many others
for making delicious jellies and
jams by the ''Certo Process" are
found in the Certo Book of Re-
cipes. a copy of which will be given
TO you by your grocer or druggist
when you get Certo. Extra copies
will be sent free II you write to the

Important: Use Certo this year in
making all your jams and jellies It
saves time. worry and boiling. The
''Certo Process" never fails and
saves money. because you make
half as much more jam from the
same amount of fruit. Jam and jelly

Action on the Coal Strike
CFrom the New York Herald).

President Harding's proposed ar
hitration commission TO settle the
coal strike, is Likely to bring abou,
n temporary truce during which coal
mining will be partially resumed in
the union mines. But In any event
there is no insurm olntable barrier
in the path to a full coal supply IL
the Federal and State Governments
want to get the coal
In a very few days the United
States Government can assure an
ample supply Of bituminous coal
from the mines now shut down by
the strike. For the matter OF that
the mine owners could start the flow
to market any timo adequate pro-
lection was given to workers by
State and local authorities.
Nobody need doubt that there
would be plenty OF miners, skilled
miners. ready to go to work as soon
as the mines were opened under pro-
lection that would protect. The
proof OF this supply OF miners ready
to go to work is that thousands OF

non-union mines that are operating
