INSIDE INFORMATION

Sirups left over from cooking
fruits or from canned fruit may be
saved to sweeten punches and other
fruit drinks.
Nutmeg on apple sauce should be
used only when the sauce is to be
eaten at once, if it stands it is likely
to make the flavor bitter.
Before storing winter blankets,
blankets, wash them, and put them
away with naphthalene flakes be-
tween the folds. If they are wrapped
in thick, heavy wrapping paper and
tied with the ends turned in so no
moths can get in to lay eggs, they
will be safe from moth damage dur
ing the warm months.
Choose a bright, warm, sunny day
for washing blankets. Use lukewarm
washing and rinsing water and neu-
tral suds. Put the blanket through
a loosely set wringer, and hang it
out to dry with quarter or half over
the line. From time to time squeeze
the excess water from the corners.
Intelligent reading of the labels
on foods and an intelligent applica-
ton of the information obtained in
label reading would save the con-
sumers of the nation millions of dol
lars a year and would promote the
cause of truthful labelling of foods
most effectively say officials of the
Food and Drug Administration.
At this season pie plant" comes
into it's own. The following recipe
for rhubarb pie with a suggestion
of orange flavor is from the Bureau
of Home Economics: Line a pie pan
with pastry dough, and bake in a hot
oven until delicately Drowned. Mean
while cook cups of raw sliced rhu-
barb, l cup of sugar, 1-2 teaspoon
OF salt, and l tablespoon of water
together until the rhubarb is tender.
Remove or 4 tablespoons of the
Juice and when it is cool mix with
2 1-2 tablespoons of flour. Cut 3
slices of orange into small sections
and mix with the rhubarb. Pour
into the baked undercrust, moisten
the rim, lay top crust in place, and
tuck the edges in carefully so that
the Juice will not leak out. Bake in
a hot oven (45O0F.) for 20 minutes.

Sharp. They took the chickens from
the sack and filled it with straw and
then placed it where it had been
found. The three farmers then hid
in the brush and waited.
That evening, it is alleged, they
saw Trader and Alice Wright, drive
a car near the place where the fowls
had been hidden. 1t was testified
that Trader got out of the machine
and went directly to the sack and
picked it up. The three farmers who
were hiding then pounced on him
and brought him and the woman
to Milford where they were held for
the hearing.
Trader and the woman denied the
charge but upon the evidence pre-
scented Justice Thaw held Trader un-
der $500 bail for court, and Alice
Wright under $500 bail for court as
accessory after the fact. In de-
fault of bail they were committed to
Jail.
1t was also brought out at the
hearing that besides the chickens of
Bennett, there were two fowls in
the bag identified by Elias Galloway,
a farmer, as belonging to him. Cal
loway testified that he also had lost
a large number of fowls.

BUILDERS FIND GREAT
UTILITY, VARIETY IN
CONCRETE MASONRY
Scientifically Made Units Win High
Ratings For Safety
nv WYatt Brummittl

Abg w clLN Ii ulAAhAAAAJ
Although concrete masonry has,
within relatively few years, won
high standing as a building material,
many prospective home owners and
builders do not yet understand eX-
actly what it is.
Fundamentally, as the name inn
plies, concrete masonry is simply
concrete made into standardized
building units called block or, for
the smaller sizes, building tile. The
manufacture of these units is today
we'll established and stabilized in
dustry, involving production under
conditions and with equipment
which insure high and uniform quail
ity.
Concrete masonry units are made
by mixing Portland cement with wa
ter and other suitable materials such
as sand, pebbles, crushed stone, Gin
ders, burned shale or stag. These
materials, or aggregates, are avail
able everywhere; hence the manu-
facture of concrete masonry is not
localized industry. The actual shap-
ing of the material in mOulds is
done mechanically, usually under
pr ressure, using concrete scientificaI-
iy designed to produce the best re-
suits. After a period of curing, the
units are ready any competent ma
son being able to use them enec-
lively.
With few exceptions, modern con-
crete masonry is made with a large
proportion of contained air space.
Hence its use automatically produces
the much-desired cellular wall type
OF construction, with from 30 TO 4O
per cent of the volume taken up by
dead air space. Extremes OF temper
ature do not easily penetrate such
wall; likewise it affords insulation
from noise and moisture.
The standard unit measures 8 by
s by 1G inches, a size which per
mits an eight-inch wall to be built uD
rapidly and easily in eight-lnch
courses. There are, of course, other
sizes. including the increasingly
popular building tile, a unit which
is ~ inches long, eight inches wlue
and from 3 1-2 to s inches high, de-
pending on the preference OF the
architect.
Complete lines of special units are
available with every kind of concrete
masOnry-cOrner units and window
and door frame units, making II easy
to complete a structure.
Some kinds of concrete masonry
are made specifically to be used IN
exposed, exterior walls. Others are
designed to be used with stucco-an
ideal combination, incidentally, for
both units an dstucco are Portland
Cement products and combine nat
urally.
Concrete masonry is, of course
firesafe and is accorded minimum
insurance rates in most states. It's

PROGRESS IN THE HOME

In the past fifty years progress
has been made in almost everything
connected with human life and work
Yet, up to recently, home heating
had progressed slowly. Bulky, dirty
fuels were fed by hand to the old
fashioned furnace and stove.
At last the change has come. Hun
dreds of thousands of modern Amer
lean homes are using completely au~
tomato gas and oil furnaces-clean,
efficient, economical, requiring al
most no human attention. And the
automatic coal stoker has joined the
brigade and is meeting eager recep-
tiOn.
Vacuum cleaners, electric irons,
washing machines and electric re-
frigerators have done much to revo-
lutionize domestic life. Automatic
heat marks another important step
in home progress.

Does A Woman Lose Her Citizenship
BY Marrying An Alien!

A woman does not lose her Amer
ican citizenship by marrying an
alien, unless the alien belongs to a
race not eligible to naturalization.
If an American woman married a
German or French or English citi-
zen, for instance, she would not lose
her citizenship; but if she married
a Chinese or Japanese she would
lose her American citizenship. Pre-
vious to 1922 a woman who was an
American citizen automatically lost
her citizenship if she married an
alien regardless of his race. - The
