CLOTHES
HANGER
H. A. Callahan.

TUE top OF a closet affords
valuable space that all too
frequently is not utilized. Yet
1t is an easy matter to hang
clothes at the very top Of a high
ceilinged closet without effort
and without damaging the clothes.
Near the center of an ordinary
clothes hanger drill a hole three
eighths Of an inch in diameter.
Into this hole insert an ordinary
dowel pin or stick which can be
bought at any hardware store Tor
one or two cents.
At the top of the closet fasten
one or more long brass curtain
rods. Then you can hang your
clothes on the hangers, lift them
to the top Of the closet by means
of the dowel stick, and hook the
hangers over the bras rod.
The capacity Of the brass rod
is the only Limitation to the num-
Der Of hangers you can equip
with permanent long distance
handles.

HOT PACK
BEST METHOD
: OT.PACK canning is one of
the recommendations made

~ OT-PACK canning is one Of
the recommendations made
AA by the Bureau of Home
Economics, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, in its most
recent publication on home can
ming. The reason for this recon-
mendation is that studies in the
department have shown that it
takes longer than was formerly
supposed in the case of certain
vegetables for the material at the
center Of the can to reach the
temperature Of the Gamer. A
short precooking OF the fruits and
vegetables to be canned shrinks
them and makes it possible to
fill the jars with the material
boiling hot. This hot packing is
especially important with thick,
pasty mixtures, such as corn and
sweet potatoes.
Tomatoes and fruits are canned
more easily on account Of the
acid in them and do not shrink
so much during canning. It is
possible to pack them directly in.
to the can, but in this case they
should be covered with juice or
strip boiling hot. Even these may
be heated-to boiling and filled
into the can, in which case a
much shorter processing period Is
possible.
The department recommends
that the nonacid vegetables, such
as asparagus, string beans, Lima
beans, corn, green's, okra, peas
and sweet potatoes, be canned only
in the pressure Gamer. Fruits
and tomatoes may be processed In
a water-bath Gamer.
Timetables for processing fruits
and vegetables based on the most
reliable facts the department has
been able to gather at present
may be obotained on application
to the United States Department
of Agriculture.

HAD noticed that under my
orange trees there were
many little conical holes in
the sandy sail. They looked like
miniature volcanoes. l idly Won
dered what caused these strange
little pits, but, to tell you the
truth, didn't think very seri-
ously about them. passed them
by thinking that perhaps the rain
water that dropped off the trees
might have caused them.
However, those little holes
turned out to be one of the most
interesting group of traps I have
ever seen. This is how we found
out about them.
was sitting quietly on the
porch of our bungalow, near
Miami, Fla, when UP ran Bobby
and shouted:
"Oh, Foxy Grandpa! Do please

Immediately I arose, put on my
hat and walked over to the tree.
There, indeed, was a big insect.
He had a very long body and
long, graceful, brilliant wings.

is we can put him with our col

Hes not dead" interjected
Bunny, who had hoped out by
my side to see the object of in
terest. Hes Just resting up to
get ready to do his flying at
night-very interesting fellow
that-but more interesting before
he grows so big and starts
flying"
"Tell me about him." I said.
"Oh, I would rather show you
one in his former state" said the
contrary Bunny.
NIutl puL6u0 Lh0 COIlVSTbd-

would remember what he had
said.
He remembered it all right, for
a very few days after that UP
Bunny hoped and said:
"Come out here, Foxy Grandpa,
there's lion in the garden"
"a lionr' I shouted. "How un.
der the sun could a lion get into
our garden? Has a circus come
to town."
"Oh, nor chuckled'>s Bunny.

time. I promised to show one to
you the other day"
Bunny is so full Of surprises
that 1 didn't say a word, but fol.
lowed him. He led me straight
out to my orange trees, pointed
to one Of the conical holes in the
sand and said:

hole. Keep your eyes right on
it."
I put on my glasses and focused
my eyes on the little pit. Imag-
inc my surprise when after scruti-
nizing the hole carefully, saw
two long feelers come up right
out Of the very bottom. I cx-
pected to see some Kind Of an in
sect follow them. But nothing
happened for the moment.
The feelers just wiggled there
gently for a few seconds.
But-over the top of the little
ridge which was built so per-
fectly around the cone, there
suddenly appeared a big. black
ant. Mr.. Ant hesitated for a mo-
ment, then without warning his
feet slipped in the soft sand and
down into the pit he rolled.
There he goes" whispered
Bunny. That's his finish. The
lions got him all right"
Sure enough, the long feelers
seized the ant and pulled him
down under the sand.
What does that mean?" I
asked.
"Ant-lion," answered my little
rabbit. DO you remember the
little bug you saw on the tree?
Well, here's a brother of his at
work before he become a fly
ing insect. He builds this pit
into the trap which you see, and
then just lies in wait for his vic.
tins. If any foolish insect wan.
ders over the top, he's a goner.
He simply can't help slipping
down."
whoever would think that
such a little insect with such a
tiny head could plan out such
a scheme as that!" 1 exclaimed.
Large heads aren't always re-
quired for clever thinking" de-
clared Bunny, scratching his own
little white head and cooking his
pink eyes at me.

There are such lovely shades in
