The legend Of the labyrinth Is one
of the best known Of all legends in
the story Of Theseus, who with six
other Greek youths and seven maid
ems, was sent into the Cretan laby-
rinth to face the terrible minotaur.
He killed the monster, but would have
been unable to find his way out OF
the iDnumerable twisting passages of
the labyrinth had not Ariadne given
him skein Of thread to unwind as
he entered.
Until recent years this legend has
been believed to be entirely fanciful,
and the idea of the labyrinth suggest
ed by cave on the mountainside near
Crossus, the ancient home OF the
Cretan king. Excavations at Crossus,
however, have disclosed an ancient
palace of labyrinthic intricacies. On
It's walls are pictures Of boys and girls,
presumably trained in their
art. vaulting onto the back Of charg-
ing bull. and beneath the palace have

Use Of Pectin in Making
yeIIies Not Understood

The use Of pectin in making jellies
Is not always understood. Pectin,
sugar, and acid In the right proper
tfons are necessary in making Jelly.
Adding pectin to the fruit juice may
be helpful for several reasons. De-
ncious jelly can thus be made from
the juice Of peaches, cherries, straw
berries, and other fruits that do not
naturally contain enough pectm. Also
the housekeeper can be more sure of
success and Of jelly of Just the right
texture. Color and flavor, too, can
sometimes be improved because the
juice need not be boiled so long In
order to reach the proper degree Of
concentration. The process is there
fore, shortened and the housekeeper
relieved from some of the hottest and
most tedious part of jelly making by
the right use of pectin extracts.
Pectin extracts should, however, be
used only In relatively small quanti-
ties with rich full-flavored fruit juices
to supply the lack Of natural pectin
When pectin is added to watered juices
to conceal their poor quality, the jelly
has low food value and flavor.

Leaky Spot In Tank.
A corroded and leaky spot In steel
tank or range boiler can be closed
with an inexpensive repair bolt or
plug obtainable from dealers. The
picture shows q homemade repairer
consisting Of three-sixteenths by
three-inch toggle bolt costing ten
cents and o fiat rubber gasket, brass
washer and nut. The link of the bolt,
after being passed through the hole,
takes an upright position, and screw
ing up the nut forces the gasket tight
ly against the outside of the boiler. A
small hole must be reamed or enlarged
with q round file to a diameter about
fave-eighths inch. The metal beneath
the gasket should be firm and clean.
A little candle wick packing may be
wrapped around the bolt to prevent
leakage along the bolt. Sometimes
hole is closed by driving in tapered
steel pin to turn the metal inward,

for an ordinary screw plug A hole in
the wall of tank or pipe having con-
siderable thickness can be easily and
quickly closed by screwing in ta-
pered steel tap-plug which cuts and
threads it's way through the wall.
These plugs in different sizes are OBJ
tainable of dealers, and a monkey
wrench Is the only tool required to
insert them; it Is unnecessary to shut
off or drain the water from the tank
or pipe.
A small leak at a seam or rfvet
can often be closed by merely rubbing
a cold chisel along the beveled edge
OF the Joint. Donot attempt to calk
a seam unless the plates have consid-
cradle thickness and the rivets are
closely spaced and are close to the
calking edge, and then use extreme
caution. Run a regular calking tool
or blunt chisel along the beveled
edge; tapping the tool very lightly
with light hammer, force the edge
of the upper plate against and into the
lower plate.

FRESH ASPARAGUS
BEST FOR CANNING
"'Hot-Pock" Method FdUored
for Vegetables.

prepared by tho United States Department
of AGriculture.)
If you have an abundance of ten
der, fresh asparagus In the garden
you will undoubtedly want to can
some of it for later use. AS the aspar-
agus ought to be canned as quickly
as possible after it has been cut, plan
to do little Of this work frequently,
rather than to attempt a large
amount Of canning at any one time.
Use the pressure canner, and the "hot-
pack" method, which is recommended
for all vegetables and many fruits by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The point about the hot
pack" method is that the material to
be canned is heated to the boiling
point or cooked a short time before
being put into the can or jars, so that
in the shortest possible time the
temperature of the whole jar is raised
to the required point This results in
more certain sterilization and b bet
ter product because Of the shorter
cooking.
Asparagus may be canned whole.
or cut up in half-inch lengths. In the
former case 1t is tied in uniform bun
dies, cut to flt into the container to
be used, and placed In a saucepan
with boiling water over the tough
lower portion. The saucepan is COW
cred tightly and boiled 4 or min
utes, then the asparagus is packed
rapidly into the containers In the
latter case the cut asparagus Is
brought to boil in water to cover and
then packed In Jars or tins. The con-
tainers are completely filled up with
boiling water, and each jar is salted
In the proportion Of teaspoonful OF
salt to each quart canned.
The jars or cans are put into the
hot Gamer as soon as they are filed
and processed for 20 minutes at 10
pounds pressure, or 24O degrees
Fahrenheit. Glass Jars should have
the springs and rubbers adjusted half
way, or screw tops placed on loosely
Tin cans are completely sealed be-
fore being placed In the Gamer. After
processing for the required length Of
time, remove the containers from the
Gamer. Seal glass Jars at once
Place them out OF drafts Cool tin
cans by plunEing them In cold water
Keep all canned products under Oh
servat1On at room temperatures tar at
deas8 q week. Discard any showing
signs Of spOila9e and watch others Of
the same lot untiT 1t - certain that

from the pipe and build a boxing
around it to hold the soft mortar
closely against the pipe. Broken
sewer pipe can be repaired in like
manner. A wrapping of wire netting
embedded in the mortar increases it's
tensile strength. A small hole in
cast-iron pipe may be tapped with a
screw plug.
Leaky Screw Joint.
Where a leaky screw joint cannot
be tightened with a pipe wrench,
the leak is sometimes stopped by a
blunt chisel or calking tool and ham,
mer. Sometimes a crack or hole is
cleaned out and then plugged and
calked with lead, tinfoil, or a COM
mercial iron cement to the consistency
of putty. Sometimes pipe band with
two bolts, or a split sleeve Is en-
ployed to hold a thin coating of iron
cement or a gasket over a leak. If
the leak is at a screw joint, the band
is usually coated inside with one

slipped over the pipe Keeping the
bolt farthest from the coupling or 1T

"Oh, I've heard that story again,

which has been believed by grown-ups

'Tt is the story about us. You know

"Oh, hate gossip so.
"Why don't people talk about what
they know instead of talking so much
about what they don't know?"
THAT Is a question l cannot answer
for you," said Mr.. Ostrich.
In fact" he added, Il don't see
why people want to talk so much any

"They don't get anything more to

that old story, or retelling it and not
bothering to find out if it is true or not.
'They simply do not seem to be able
to tell the truth about me.
There, have said that none Of my
family hid their heads in the sand
when they were frightened in their

"Oh, poor me, poor Mrs. Ostrich, If

''If people would only stop and think
when they're about to tell story like
that and say to themselves:
"'We don't know whether that story
is true or not so we don't say that

'Then they could find out from some
one who knew something about the
ways of the Ostrich family and they
would be told how I do lie low when

Strawberry Sauce

A few strawberries can be made to
go long way by making a sauce as
follows: Make a hard sauce from one
third cupful Of butter, one cupful of
powdered sugar, and the stif1y beaten
white of an egg. Crush two-thirds Of
cupful of fresh strawberries and
beat gradually into the hard sauce.
This may be slightly warmed over hot

cause the sauce to separate some
