grower $500. were grown on a
20-acre field near the Landum
ranch on the military highway this

OF all the garden vegetables, string
beans and tomatoes are the favorites
when it comes to canning a supply for
winter use. They cannot be done In
the same way. Because of their acid
ity, tomatoes may be canned by the
water-bath method; but for string
beans steam pressure Gamer should
be used. Like other nonacid vegeta-
bles, string beans should be processed
at q temperature higher than 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and this is only
possible under steam pressure. Either
glass or tin containers may be used.
String beans should always be
packed boiling hot. That is, they are
cooked for few minutes, and then,
while still boiling, packed into the
jars, sealed, and processed the re-
quired length of time. This is some
times called the "hot-pack" method.
1t is recommended by the bureau OF
home economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture because the
beans at the center Of the container
are quickly raised to the temperature
required for processing, and the bac-
terra that cause spoilage are more
likely to be killed. Also by the hot
pack method the step known as the
Exhaust" is unnecessary.

Charming Fabric for Ora

From field to tireside" might be the
slogan that heralds the appearance of
osnaburg as house furnishing fab
ric of merit. Osnaburg, in the South,
is known as the stuff cotton picking
bags are made of-bags for gathering
potatoes, work clothes. In it's undyed
state it is similar in color to un-
bleached muslin or linen. 1t is coarse
and strongly woven, in different de-
grees of looseness, and with some ir-
Irregularities of yarn. These very ir-
Irregularities make it an artistic and
charming fabric for draperies and up
holstery and other house furnishings.
Additional practical advantages of os-
naburg are that it is inexpensive, easy
to launder, easy to dye to match other
furnishings. and made in desirable
widths.
The bureau of home economics of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture suggests, among other uses,
that osnaburg makes excellent and in
expensive slip covers for furniture. 1t
can be relieved by cordings or bands
of cretonne or chintz in gay patterns,
If desired, or by using decorative pill

STUDY TWINS TO
FIND DIFFERENCES
Science Interested in Duplicate
Human Beings.

New York.-Twins may be so be-
wilderingly alike that their own fami-
lies see no difference in them, but
scientists are investigating just bow.
and how much, these duplicate human
beings really do resemble each other.
Measurements taken on Is sets of
twins identically alike were described
by DR.. I'll. r. Perkins and Laura Bliss
of the University of Vermont before
the Eugenics Research association and
the American Eugenics society in ses
sion here.
The same sides of pair of twins
are more frequently alike than their
opposite sides. the investigation re-
vealed. To visualize this, imagine a
pair of twins like paper dolls folded
over and cut by a simple pattern. II
one Is placed in front of the other,
both facing the same way, the two
sides will be more likely to match
than If one twin stands in front Of the
other and they face each other.

1t had been previously suggested
that twin who has duplicate ex.
actly like himself would probably be
an extraordinarily symmetrical person
himself, that is, his two eyes and ears
and hands would be unusually alike.
1t was found, however, that the iden-
teal twins were less often symmet-
rical individually than other twins
who did not look alike, and who also
were examined.
Mentally the twins examined were
found to be strikingly similar In In.

the older ones, and the similarities
were particularly close In answering
