Canning and Preserving
Last week two requests came for
a method for keeping grape juice, l
had just sent the Tri-Weekly a
recipe that is as good AS the best yet
one can buy, and if the bottles, or
jars are air tight it keeps indefi-
nitely. Next in number have been
requests for a recipe for fig pre-
serves. I am going to give you two
and have used both of them TO my
satisfac ton.
FIG PRESERES
Select firm, sound fruit, gather them
carefully, and keep the stems on
them. Sprinkle a cup of soda over
them, a cup to about six pounds Of
fruit. Then cover with boiling
water. 1t will take about a quart of
water to q quart of figs. Allow it to
stand fifteen minutes, pour off ara
rinse carefully with clear water. Put
tine figs on a clean cloth TO drain
while the syrup is boiling. To six
quarts of figs use two quarts Of
sugar and three quarts of water TO
make the syrup. Boil ten minutes,
skim. then add the figs gradually so
as not to stop the boiling. Cook
rapidly until the figs are clear and
tender, this will be about two hours.
Lift them out carefully, and place in
shallow dish, or pans, you will have
to cook the syrup longer to make it
heavy enough. then pour it ever, the
figs, being careful to cover them en-
tirely. Let them stand over night,
and next morning put the cold figs
in Sterilized jars, the stems all up.
Fill the jars to overlooking, Tut on

FIG PRESERVES
Gather figs with the stems on just
before they are quite ripe. Wash
and weigh them. Soak in soda water
fifteen minutes, then boil in clear
water until you can pierce with a
straw. Take from the water and for
every pound of figs put in three
quarters of sugar and make syrup.
Put the figs in that syrup carefully
and boil until they are trans parent.
Flavor with ginger, cinnamon, or
emon. I prefer the ginger root
cooked with them. Seal while hot.

over themselves to do honor to

GOL. ROBERT NJ. THOMPSON.

It was entertaining by proxy,
however, for Colonel and Mrs.
Thompson are still in Florida, hut
their son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Stephen HI p. Pell,
played host in their stead.
In Florida, where Prince An

Thompson entertained for them in

old acquaintance, believe, or at

ginning of a new Administration
there'n be few new actors appear
ing upon the politico-social stage.
Instead we'H be applauding old
favoritcs in unfamiliar roles.
There's Senator Harry New
moving from Capitol Fill to the
Postoffice Observation-Disclosures. New
has always been striclxler for
Senatorial precedence, and one
rather wonders how she'll feel
about 1t now. And DR.. Work, the
outgoing Postmaster General, TAX
ing up the portfolio Of Secretary
of the Interior. And Congress-
man Frank w. Mondell, sometime
Republican leader Of the House,
going to the War Finance Corpor-
alton vice Dwight Davis. who be-
comes in turn Assistant Secretary
Of War. He will succeed J. May
hew Wainwright, elected to the
next Congress from a New York
district in place OF Congressman
Frederick c. Hicks. who refused
to run.

heard that he would like some
thing OF the sort and he has q
gracious and charming wife she
was Marie Stevens. Washington
girl, and daughter OF the late
Maj Pierre Stevens-who would
assuredly grace a diplomatic post.
IN this, the ''open season" for
lame ducks, 1t seems a bit odd
to hear Of Congressman Horace
Mann Towner's appointment to the
post OF governor of Porto Rico.
More especially since the post
would seem to have gone begging
for a whileit is said that It was
offered to Senator New, who was
necessarily to be taken care of
since he is a Republican standby
and President Harding's close
friend. but was declined with
thanks. However. the Towner ap-
pointment is a peculiarly crafty
ing one, for Mr.. Towner has been
chairman Of the House Committee
on fhsular Affairs for the last four
years and has made a deep and
comprehensive study of our island
possessions.
Moreover, Mrs. Towner, an ac-
tive club woman and a brilliant
and clever person, has also studied
the history and the politics Of our
outlying islands and has made
friends with such of their people
as have visited Washington. II
remember correctly, she was the
head OF the section Of the General
Federation Of Women's Clubs
which dealt with insular affairs
at the biennial convention list
summer and brought together a
brilliant group of speakers. Mrs.
Towner, who Is a former president

And precedence among members
