BABY BROWNS IN
PHOENIX CANAL

James Eugene Smith, II months
old, son of Rev. and Mrs. w. L.
Smith, was drowned recently when he
fell into less than two feet of water
in front Of the Smith home.
There were no witnesses to the ac-
cident The child was missed from
the house by his mother and search
was made for him. A fence enclosed
the yard of the Smith home and it
would have kept the child away from
the canal had the front gate been
closed, it was said.
When the child was missed Smith
and two sons jumped into the water
and waded down the canal where they
discovered the body several minutes
later. 1t had been carried down the
stream for about so yards before it
was found. The baby was rushed to
the Deaconess hospital where pulmo-
tor treatment and artificial respira-
ton was resorted to in an effort to
save the child's life He died 40 min
utes after being taken to the hospi-

PROPOSED REVISION OF
GRAND CANYON BOUNDARY

The proposed changes in the boun-
daries of the Grand Canyon national
park to be acted upon by the senator
ial committee sometime this month,
are as follows:
Present area of Grand Canyon ma
tional park, 958 square miles. Pro-
posed net increase, Sill percent. Pro-
posed area of park 1009.1 square
miles. a.ie4
Changes proposed as follows.
Additions, north rim, 73 square
miles; additions south rim, 1913
square miles; total additions, 83.9
square miles; Eliminations south rim,
1928 square miles; proposed net in
crease 51.1 square miles.
North Rim
Citizens of Fredonia, Arizona, and
Kanab. Utah, who are most interest
ed in this area have approved pro-
posed addition. Many of these people
are cattlemen and sheepmen, and res
idents of Fredonia have been very ac-
tive in their efforts to secure this
change. The area which it, is pro-
posed to include in the park is not
under grazing permit, owing to the
policy of the forest service to reserve
forage in the southern edge OF the
Kaibab forest for deer. Hence, there
will be no change in grazing status.
Additions proposed will provide a
sanctuary for many deer and will fur
nish both summer and winter range.
Roads. auto camp grounds, etc, can
be logically developed. A represe1l-
tative section of the wonderful Kai-
bah forest will be preserved in its ma
tural state for posterity. Additions
come from Kaibab forest, only, and
there will be no change in the amount
of government owned land. No prl-
vately owned lands are included IN
the proposed addition.
South Rim
But for the fact that the road sys-
TEN cannot be logically developed
without revision of boundaries, no
changes other than eliminations would
be recommended on the. south rim.
One section of scattering yellow pine
timber is proposed to be added, other
proposed additions being covered with
Juniper, pinyon and sage brush hav-
inc no commercial value. That part
of the park on the south rim is all un-
der grazing permit, except the Grand
Canyon village area of about one
square mile. Hence, there will be no
change in grazing status. 1913 square
miles is proposed to be taken from
Tusayan national forest and it is pro-
posed to eliminate 1928 square miles
from the park and add this area to
the Tusayan national forest. There
will be no change in the amount OF
government owned land No private
" owned land iss proposed atn-ibe adj
ded to the park.

masher. The stones need not be re-
moved Mix cake of compressed
yeast with small portion of the juice
and add it to the mash. Cover the jar
with a double layer Of cheesecloth to
keep out insects, and a cover to ex-
clude light. Stir the mash daily. In
four to six days alcoholic fermenta-
tion will be complete.
The juice is then separated from
the mash by straining il through a
cheesecloth, or using hand press at
the last. Return the juice to the jar
with a starter in the form of vinegar.
Use one part Of the vinegar to four
parts Of juice. Cover as before. With
in a few days thin coating or film
will appear on the surface. This
mother of vinegar" which is COM
posed almost entirely of acetic bac-
terra, Is essential /. for a successful
fermentation. Great care, therefore,
should be taken not to cause 1t to fall
by stirring or agitation.
During the acetic fermentation fire.
quent tests should be made to de-
termine the increase In acidity. AS
soon as this has reached its maximum,
the vinegar is filtered and bottled.
Canton flannel is a good material for
filtering vinegar.
The strength of the vinegar can be
determined roughly by tasting. When
the vinegar reaches a point where it
is comparable in taste to that of a
good strong vinegar, it may be re-
garded as complete. For accurate re-
suits a vinegar tester, in which the
strength of the vinegar is determined
by the volume of gas given off when
bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) is
treated with measured quantity of
the vinegar to be tested, should be
used. Farmers Bulletin 1424-F on

Corn grown In the home garden and

ing is a very delicious product. If the
steam pressure Gamer is used, and
all directions given by the United

Corn is one of the nonacid vege-
tables which should be processed at a
temperature higher than 212 degrees
Fahrenheit, and this is only possible
under steam pressure. Corn should
be gathered about II to % days after

the variety and the season. To pre-,

JOHNSON BILL WILL
AID MANY VETERANS

Thirty-ive thousand disabled men
and women, veterans of the World
war and their dependents, are expect
ed to benefit directly to the extent of
$15,000,000 this year, $120OOOOO next
year and $1OO0O,OOO annually there
after from the johnson bill passed,
with the support of the American
Legion, at the recent session of con-
gress.
Under the new legislation, fiat
payment Of $50 a month for life will
be made to veterans with arrested
cases of tuberculosis.
Veterans with disabilities resulting
from war service are allowed to re-
anstate war risk insurance through
charging the unpaid back premiums
against the face value of the reinstat-
ed policy where they are not able
financially to pay these premiums.
Time for filing claims for war dis
abilities and for submitting proof that
a disability resulted from the war is
extended to July 2, 1927.
Placement training for disabled VET
Grams is extended to January / next,
in order to permit them to complete
theirvocational rehabilitation courses.
A tWo-year extension is given for ed
ucational training in schools and col
ieges where the trainees are now in
process of training.
Insurance of men who died after
discharge may be revived by the dis
charge bonus of $50 if the men had
mot received that bonus.
American women who were disabled
through serving in base hospitals
overseas are made eligible for com
pensation.
Director Frank I. Hines, of the
United States veterans bureau, has
expressed the opinion that bureau
regulations can be extended under
the new bill to grant service connec-
ton for chronic constitutional dis
eases, such as disorders of heart, kid
neys and digestive system, where it
is not possible to trace definite med
ical history of such connection, with
the service.
This bill is one in the series of
great measures which have been sup
ported by the American Legion for
the care and cure and relief of dis
abled veterans and their dependents.
Most of the provisions contained In
it were based on recommendations
made by the Legion's national conven-
tion at Omaha in 1925.

berries will retain indefinitely the
odor and flavor Of the fruit which
makes it desirable for fiavoring foods
and beverages.
Fruit enough to make all the years
supply of vinegar is wasted In many
homes. Surplus or inferior grades of
fruit not desired for immediate use
or for canning may often be turned
into a useful product at a merely nom
inal cost. The best receptacles for
making vinegar in the home are stone
jars of three to six gallon capacity.
These should have straight sides and
open tops and should be provided with
covers. With most fruits used it is
impossible to separate the juice from
the pulp before the alcoholic fermen-
tation has taken place, SO a yeast
incubation is made in a mash Of the
fruit. The juice only may be used if
it can be extracted easily. The fol
lowing method, which calls for
peaches, may be used, with slight
variations, for other traits:
Ripe fruit is selected. Overripe
fruit may be used If decayed portions
are removed Enough peaches are
used to fill a four-gallon jar about
two-thirds full after they have been
cut in two and crushed with a potato

One Year to Reinstate
and Convert Insurance

World war veterans have until July
Q, 1927, to reinstate and convert their
wartime insurance The time was
extended one year by legislation en-
acted at the 1926 winter session of
congress in response to representa-
lions made by the American Legion.
A fve-year level-premium policy
has also been provided to which vet
Grams may convert from the yearly
renewable war risk term insurance.
The fve-year policy may then at any
later time be converted into any one
of several permanent forms Of gov
eminent insurance at higher pre-
MUM cost.
Further extension of time beyond
July 2, 1927, may be made for men
who on that date are mentally incom-
petent or men who have disappeared
TO have their insurance converted.

To Tell Linen Fabric

The only way of being sure whether
or not fabric is all linen is to exam
inc some of the fibers under a micro
scope. There ARE physical character
istics of the fax fiber which distin-
guish il very markedly from cotton.
The tests usually advocated such as
moistening q spot and noting whether
or not the moisture spreads rapidly
are of very little value. A small guam
tity OF mercerized cotton may be well
concealed in so-called linen fabrics
and cannot be detected by household
methods.

Rich Source Of Yitar,ines

Turnips have been discovered to be
a rich source OF vitamines, especially
vitamine G. Only comparatively few
of our common foods are known TO
contain this particular vitamine, and
it seems to be rather easily affected
by heat of cooking and aging of the
food material. 1t is a good plan,
therefore, to include quickly cooked
turnips often in the winter menu.
They are also rich in calcium, min.
eral constantly needed by the body.

Many rumors have been in

that there is no record in either

There are several cases of
American soldiers who lost

both hands.
