roll Led to Safety From
Barn at Cowgill's Corner
CALL SMYRNA FIREMEN

Robbins Hose Company respond
ed to two fire calls Wednesday ev-
ening, one of which was dump in
the northeast part of the city while
the second was one of the most
disastrous country fires known in
recent years, occurring on the farm
OF 3. Carroll, on the Dover-Cow-
gilPs Corner road which broke out
in a large barn shortly before 9
and was burning until early Thurs
day morning. The barn, the larger
part of which was new, having
been completed but a week ago,
was completely destroyed, together
with several tons of hay which had
been stored in the loft and where
the fire broke out. The barn which
sheltered a large number of cattle
and horses on the Carroll farm,
had but recently been constructed
in keeping with the rules of the
State Board of Health when used
for dairy purposes, the floors being
cemented and other regulations of
a sanitary nature being complied
with. AS soon as the fire was dis
covered in the top of the barn,
neighbors rushed to the Carroll
farm tenanted by Ernest Seeney,
and released the cattle and horses.
The dwelling where Seeney lived
not over hundred yards from the
barn was saved from the flames
from the barn which were blowing
in that direction. The greater part
of the farming implements and
other farm machinery were carried
to places of safety. The loss on
the barn and contents will. total
close to $4,000 with partial insur-
ance. The Smyrna Fire Company
responded to the fire also.

PLEAD GUILTY
COURT SESSION
Presented by Deputy At.
tOrney-General Hopkins Be
fore Judge Harrington
8 CASES BROUGHT UP

One Of the busiest days before
Resident Judge w. w. Harrington
in plead Guilty" Court for Kent
county at Dover was held Tuesday
of last week, when eight cases
were presented by Deputy At
torney-General Melvin Hopkins for
various offenses, the majority of
which were for larceny. Michael
Eek and Earl Eek, aged 35 and 18
respectively, uncle and nephew,
from Hastings, Pa, charged with
the larceny of quantity of cloth
ing, rugs, watch and other valu-
able articles from Phillip Roeder,

ment filed against them. Michael
Eek, the uncle, was given nine
months imprisonment in the New
Castle county workhouse, while the
nephew, Earl Eek, was given two
months Imprisonment. Judge Har-
rington, in sentencing the elder

fact that he was the one who had
pawned the watch and destroyed
the pawn ticket and that indica-
tions pointed to his being the in
stigator of the theft of the articles.

The joys of Jelly Making

B. Use a flannel jelly bag fol-
straining juices and never squeeze
if you wish nice clear jelly.
4. Use a standard cup without
fiared edge and measure both
juice and sugar in this standard
cup.
5. If you wish to make a tart
jelly add the juice of l lemon to
every batch. Add the lemon juice
to the fruit juice.
The following question is asked
me more than any other one ques-
How can you tell when the
jelly has boiled enough? The best
way to tell whether jelly or jam
for that matter, has boiled long
enough is by the spoon test. Dip
a clear spoon (wooden if you have
one) into the boiling juice and hold
it up. If the liquid drops off freely
it should be boiled awhile longer or
until the syrup sheets" on the
spoon. When this point has been
reached, remove from fire, skim,
pour into glasses and cover with
hat paraff1n. A second light layer
of paraffin may be added the fol-
lowing day. The boiling point
varies with different kinds of
fruits, but if you will use the spoon
test your jelly will always be per
feet.
Jelly is a real food and satisfies
that craving for sweets that we all
have. So let's make hundreds of
jars of different kinds of jellies
now for our family to eat during
the coming winter months. Have
you ever tried gooseberry jelly,
peach, pear or pineapple? You
can make delicious favored jellies
by blending different juices. You
can have lot of fun in your kitch-
en- in the cool of the day by getting
out your preserving kettle and
combining several fruit juices with
which to surprise your admiring
family later.
And when the day of jelly MAX
ing is over and the preserving ket-
ties are put away on the bottom
shelf of the pantry once more, how
proud you are going to be as you
stand and survey your work!
Beautiful glasses of red, yellow
and purple jelly. Squat little jars
of preserves and marmalades. AS
you stand and lok at it you will
say TT wasn't hard work either.
1t was fun"
There are some satisfactions that
or leisure cannot buy The
joy of creating these delicacies is
one of them. You enjoyed prepar-
ing them, but think how much
more enjoyment you are going to
get this winter when you can serve
peach jelly on your hot biscuits
and how fine the meat will taste
with a spoonful of red jelly beside
Smyrna times., 1932-08-17

1t is so simple.
Gone is the guess work and the un-
certainty. in jelly making. Any
homemaker can make clear, spark
ling jelly that she can serve to her
family and friends with great
pride.
But before we go any further,
let's decide just what we mean by
a good jelly. A good jelly is clear,
attractive in color, and free from
crystals and sediment. There
should be no evidence of crystals
or "sugariness, even in grape jel-
ly. When removed from the glass
it retains its shape and yet quivers
when touched. It is tender, not
tough, gummy or syrupy, and it
spreads smoothly on bread The
flavor and odor should be pleasing
and characteristic of the fruit from
which the jelly is made. You can
make jelly like that. You can
make jelly that would score 1907
at Fairs, bringing you fame and
premiums.
Have you ever stopped and ask
ed yourself just what is jelly? Jel-
ly after all is the product obtained
when we combine the juice or COM
bination of juices Of certain fruits
with the right proportion of sugar,
and cook the mixture until it be-
comes a clear, tender jelly. All
fruit juices, however, do not make
perfect jelly, for to make a perfect
jelly it is essential that the fruit
juices contain acid and natural
jelly making substance called pee
tin, in just the right proportions.
Most homemakers know that
some fruits jell quicker than 9th
ers. AS an example, concord
grapes. The juice of under ripe
grapes will jell after very short
boiling period, while the ripened
fruit requires a much longer boil
ing period. This shows how nature
during the process Of maturing
fruits to their full flavor, removes
the jellying substance or pectin.
BY adding pectin to your fruit
juices you are merely giving back
to the fruit what nature removed.
Citrus fruit pectin, made as it is
from lemons and oranges, is ma
ture's own jelly maker. It is mere
" a jellying substance and nothing
more. BY adding pectin to your
fruit juices you are always sure of
a perfect jelly.
So the ecret Of making good jelly
might be summed up as follows:
1. Use a small amount of quice
at one time, that is. never work
with more than 2 quarts of juice at
a time.
2. Use powdered citrus fruit I
pectin to supply the necessary jel-
lying substance.

'BIG THURSDAY"
AT BAY RESORTS
Celebration at Bowers Beach
One of the Largest in
Recent Years
DANCE HELD IN EVENING

Thousands of people Thursday
visited Bowers Beach and other
lower Delaware resorts, for the OBJ
servance of big Thursday" a ira
ditional Delaware celebration that
has been observed since before the
Civil War. More than seven thou
sand persons gathered at Bowers
Beach Thursday, for the annual
observance of this celebration. A
dance, which was well attended
was held Thursday night in South
Bowers Beach for the benefit of
the fire company. Fishing parties
were almost constantly putting out
or returning during the day, all re-
porting good catches. The resort
was visited during the day by
yachts from Fortescue, Dorchester
and Port Norris, N. ]. Automo-
biles were observed parked at the
beach bearing licenses of Pennsvl-
vania, Maryland, Virginia and New
Jersey. Many expressed the opin-
ion it was the largest big Thurs
day" in recent years. Excellent
weather prevailed. Throngs also
gathered at Rehoboth, Broadkiln.
Cedar, Bethany and Oak Orchard
Beaches. The occasion furnishes
an opportunity for politicians to
mingle with their constituents and
for the renewing of acquaintance.
The origin of the festival is said
to have grown out of an act of the
Delaware Legislature, which pro-
vided for the opening season for
catching oysters in the Delaware
Bay and tributaries. In 1852, ac-
cording to records, a law was pass
ed making it unlawful for any per-
SON to catch oysters in any stream
in the State between the first of
May and the tenth of August, and

bell died at the residence of his
son, Lucius. at Fraland, Bombay
Hook, on Thursday last at the age
of So years. Until the past sew
eral years, when enfeebled by dis
ease, he led an active public life
and was widely known. He first
commenced with the late Thomas
Carrow as clerk some thirty
five years ago. He was next for
several years clerk on the steam
boat Zephyr with Capt. Vandegrift,
when all our commerce with the
cities was by the water. He was
afterwards Captain of the steamer
Perry, and some fifteen years ago
was proprietor of the Smyrna
House, this town, for three years.
He was afterwards a commission
merchant in Philadelphia, until his
health failed. He had a heartiness
of address that rendered him pop
ular in the public positions he held.

WORLD WAR VETS
IN n. D. RECEIVE
$4,000 MONTHLY
1884 North Dakotans Get COM
pensation and Disability
Allowance

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 2.-(R)-Some
$4,000 is being paid monthly to 1894
North Dakotans for compensation and
disability allowance, better known as
the pension for World war veterans,
according to records In the office Of
G. T. Hoverson, United States veter-
an bureau manager in Fargo.
OF the total, 1921 are drawing COM
pensation for injuries directly con-
nected with service, with the payments
averaging approximately $44 monthly.
Eight hundred forty three are draw
ing the pension, averaging in this
state about $l8 monthly. The pension
is paid veterans more than Is per cent
permanently disabled who are not
able to prove their injuries are direct
~ connected to their service and who
are not paying an income tax.
Veterans drawing pension other
than those who served In the World
war total 979 in North Dakota, Hover
son said. These for the most part are
Spanish American war veterans.
North Dakota is credited by the war
department with sending 30033 men
to the World war, Hoverson's records
show, but Of this amount many were
transients who enlisted while passing
through the state. About $4,000 per-
sons filed for the North Dakota state
bonus immediately following the arm
istice. That bonus was $25 a month
for time in service.
Nearly twice as many North Dako-
ia veterans are drawing disability al
lowance for being Is per cent disabl-
ed than those whose claims were plac-
ed In other brackets, Hoverson said.
OF the 843, there were 424 granted
disability allowance for being rs per
cent disabled; 227 for being so per
cent disabled: 70 for being IS per cent
disabled and 122 for being totally dis
abled.
About is North Dakota veterans are
disabled due to war injuries to the ex-
tent they need constant attention Of
a nurse or attendant, Hoverson said.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Jan. 2.-(P-The coll
servative forecasts on 1882 made by
industrial and financial leaders vino
cared to comment reflect the sub
dued hopefulness with which Wall
Street is facing the new year.
Months ago the financial commun-
ity learne dthe dangers Of extrava-
CANT optimism. It enters aNothc.
calendar period with a clearer con-
cepticn of the troubles through which
the world is passing and convic-
ton that courage rather than hys-
te-;a will be the better partner dur
ing the coming period.
January holds the prospect of sew
eral important developments with
congress soon to reconvene, it is felt
work will be speeded toward push
ing President Hoover's reconstruction
corporation plan to completion and
that the country will soon get an idea
of what is to be done toward meeting
and reducing the deficit, either
through increased taxes, new bond
issues, or both.
Also, the railroad, wage cut issue
may be decided this month. In in
d,lstrial fields, the first month of the
year Is expected to bring an expan-
sion in steel and automobile produc-
ton.
OF wider interest Is the PREPARATIONS
conference to be held at Lausanne.
During January, several banks and
other financial institutions will pave
the way for upbuilding of their later
condition statements by writing down
assets to present market figures.
Condition. Of the larger banks is
described as favorable to aid in the
important work of reconstruction.
