AMERICAN CROOKS
TEACH PARISIANS
Robbery in u. S. Manner Com
mon in Paris.

New York.-An American crime
wave is tapping the shores Of France
and robbery "in the American man
ner" is being practiced along the
Paris boulevards by young French
men "of the better class" under the
tutelage of 5000 American crooks
posing in the fashionable hotels as
prosperous business men, according
to French police official, who has
come to learn methods of crime pre-
VentiOn.
Rene Cassellari, former police COM
missioner in Paris, arrived here to
study American methods of signals
and other means of checking crime.
He said that holdups of jewelry stores
and banks had so increased in Paris
that 1--WE have become appalled,"
He said that not the Apaches, but
the sons of mddle-class families were
taking up two-gun crime as the result
of examples set them by American
robbers who swarmed Europe. These
Americans, he asserted. were almost
impossible to trace, as, instead OF
occupying underworld haunts and the
''bright-light" resorts, where the local
criminals flock, they live in the best
hotels, dress richly and well and look
just like ''the average well-to-do
American living abroad"

Color Fastness Depends
on Chemical Con1position

It Is a common fallacy that green,
lavender, or some other color is less
fast than blue or pink. Fastness de-
pends on the chemical composition Of
the dye used, not on the color, states
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Dyestuffs are grouped into
various classes according to their COM
position, and the dyes in some classes
are more fast than those in others.
Thus, green, blue, or any other
fabric may have received it's color
from any one Of number Of differ
ent dyestuffs varying widely in per-
manency Without knowing just what
kind Of dye was used-and it is
practically impossible for the con-
sumer to tell this-the fastness Of
color in two fabrics cannot be pre-
dicted. A dye that is one of the poor
est of it's class may have been used
on one Of the fabrics, while the other
may have been dyed with one of the
best.

Egg Dressing Used in
Place of Oil in Salads

Hot slaw with egg dressing is par
ticularly acceptable to those who do
not like the flavor of oil in salads.
The ingredients you will need are
eggs, tablespoonfuls water or cab
bage stock, 3 tablespoonfuls vinegar,
or to taste; 2 tablespoonfuls shredded
green pepper or l teaspoonful onion
juice, or h teaspoonful celery seed,
l teaspoonful salt, a few specks of
dry mustard, IA a medium head Of
cabbage-about quart tablespoon
full sugar.
Shred the raw cabbage finely. Beat
the eggs well, add the salt, sugar,
mustard, and water or stock; cook In
the double boiler until 1t coats the
edge Of the spoon, thickening like
soft custard. Then add the vinegar,
and pour it over the cabbage while 1t
Is still very hot. Let 1t stand few
moments to blend the flavor of the
dressing with that Of the cabbage.
This may be served cold as well as
hot. The United States Department
of Agriculture states that the egg
yolks used in this dressing contribute
iron, fat, and other valuable constitu-
ents to the diet, and that the raw
cabbage itself Is one Of the best foods
we have as q source Of vitamines, so
let the family enjoy this good slaw
frequently.

Hen Beats Doctor os a
Mixer of Spring Tonic

Egg-yolk heads the list of iron-rich
foods and is one of the best possible
means of supplying the body with this
valuable mineral, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
contains phosphorus and calcium, too,
elements needed to build bones, teeth,
and other tissues. The white of eggs
come very near to being pure protein,
which is one of the chief substances
Of our bodies. Eggs are also rich
sources of vitamines, those A B C's Of
the diet needed to promote health and
proper development. Taken all and
all, then, the hen beats the doctor as

bines minerals with other valuable
foods in a form that the body finds

HOT PACK CANNING
REDUCES SPOILAGE
Method Found to Be Quick
and Easy to Operate.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Hot pack canning is the feature of
"a bulletin by DR.. Louise Stanley just
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture telling how to
can fruits and vegetables in the home.
The hot pack Is a quick and easy
method which combines all the good
points Of the other popular methods
and has some additional advantages of
its own.
Briefly, the hot pack method Is to
wash and otherwise prepare the vege-
table or fruit for canning, cook it for
ten or fifteen minutes in water or
Strup In a kettle, pack 1t boiling hot
into the glass Jars or tin cans, and
process In the water bath or pressure
Gamer according to the time and
temperature recommended. This short
precooking of the fruit or vegetable
Wits and ShrinkS 1t so that 1t can
be packed more easily. It drives
out the air and makes exhausting
unnecessary. Most important of all,
the food packed boiling hot into the
jars or cans and put at once into
the hot Gamer reaches the tempera-
ture required for processing far soon
er than If 1t were packed cold, and
makes possible shorter processing
periods. Moreover, heat penetrates
more uniformly during canning and
the food in the center of the jar Is
more likely to be properly processed.
This cuts down the chances Of spoil
age, for it is proper processing more
than all else that determines whether
canned foods keep or spoil.
The directions given throughout the
bulletin are concise. Wherever pos
sible the scientific reasons behind
them are stated so that the home
maker will understand why she must
follow directions if she wants to put
up foods that will keep Types of
water-bath Gamers for use with fruits
and tomatoes and pressure Gamers
for use with all other vegetables are
described and Illustrated A series
of pictures and brief statements give
the steps in canning in glass jars
and tin cans. Directions and time
tables for handling the various fruits
and vegetables from apples to straw
berries and from asparagus to sweet
potatoes are included. Requests

WoOlen sweaters, ScarfS, and other
knitted and crocheted articles often
lose their shape when washed, unless
special precautions are taken. Before
washing a sweater, you should meas
ure it carefully both lengthwise and
crosswise and measure the length Of
the sleeves. When you are ready to
dry it, spread it on a table covered
with several thicknesSes of clean soft
material and shape 1t according to
the dimensions taken before it was

Use LukeWarm Suds.
Use lukewarm suds, about 40 de-

of the same temperature for rinsing,

Never boil any kind of wOolens, and
If you soak them, let 1t be for a very

To Wash Berries

Not every one knows how to wash
Strawberries. Hull a few berries at
a time, drop them in a bowl of clean,
cold water, and take them out i'm
mediately. Put them to drain dry in a
colander. The sand sinks to the bot
tom of the bowl and the juice does
not have change to run. Continue
hulling and washing few berries at
a time. If you turn whole quart Of
berries into a bowl at once, some will
be watery and tasteless before all are
taken out. If you put them in a col
ander and run water on them the
sand from those above gets on those
beneath.
