MR. AND MRS.
 JOHN GILBERT
 ARE FEATURED
Capitol Film Stars Gilbert Family in Picture Made
 Before Their Marriage

Probably film audiences are as interested in "Downstairs,' because it gives them an opportunity to meet on the screen the latest Mrs. John Gilbert, as they are in see- ing John himself in the role of villain-an intriguing one to be sure-in play of which he was author.
 Whatever one's reason for seeing Downstairs" may be, the picture which opened at the Capitol thea tre last night, should please.
 When he wrote Downstairs, :" John Gilbert intended to direct Eric von Stroheim in the part he plays himself. His role is that of a swaggering Don Juan of a chauffeur who makes up in au- dacity what he lacks in conscience. With no moral code he spreads his villainies throughout the great cas- tie in which he is employed, makes love to Virginia Bruce, a maid married to Paul Lukas, the butler, blackmails Hedda Hopper, the Countess, and finally elopes with Virginia, financing the escapade with money he has stolen from Bodil Rosing the cook. Of course, like all proper villains, he comes to timely end.
 Others in the fine cast of play CTS who make Downstairs" an interesting picture to view, include Olga Bechlanova, Lucien Little field, Reginald Owen and Marion Leasing.
 The picture was directed by Monte Bell

HOME MEAT CANNING
PROVED ECONOMY

A group of interested persons Wis
tied the farm of Joe Masten, Masters
Corner. on Tuesday afternoon. Feb,
2Sth. to see the demonstration held
there on meat cutting and canning.
Knowing who had just butchered a
beef weighing 365 pounds dressed
weight demonstrated the cutting up
of the beef for canning purposes.
Questions were answered regard
ing the tough and tender pieces of
meat and the correct methods of
cooking each given. The tough mus
cular pieces often contain a most
delicious flavor and with long slow
cooking make excellent meat dishes
at very low cost and any of the
cheap cuts make delicious soup stock
and stews.
The preservation of this meat was
then demonstrated by Miss Pearl
Macdonald, Nutrition Specialist from
Newark. Some of the best cuts of
meat were packed in quart tins as
small roasts. Steaks were cut into
serving portions and scared before
packing. Stew pieces and soup stock
were packed uncoOked into the tins.
The pressure cooker was recon-
mended as being the ideal way of
processing the meat The high tenn
perature obtained assures complete
preservation and shortens the pro-
cess by over half the time, thus saw
ing fuel.
At market prices the beef on hoof
would have sold for approximately
$25.5O At the present retail prices
for meat the beef was worth S45.60.
The canning equipment and fuel
costs were $2.25 so the saving on the
whole demonstration was $2050. Half
of the beef only was canned and
Mrs. Masten has stored on her pean-
try shelf 3S quarts of meat put up in
steaks. roasts. stews and soup
stock, ready at very short notice
to serve her family or unexpected
guests.
This meeting was arranged by
Miss Louise r. WhitcOmb, Home
Agent. Monograph
cd sheets on meat canning can he
obtained by writing TO the Extension
Office, Dover.

WHO DO DELAWARE EGGS
BRING A Low PRICE IN
THE NEW YORK MARKETS

The above question is one that is
frequently asked in this section OF
the country. The fact of the matter
is that the cream of the eggs pro-
duced in Kent and Sussex counties,
Delaware. do not sell for a low price
but ring premium in the New
York markets. But the Delaware
producers do not reap the benefit of
this premium. The producers sell
their eggs to New Jersey, egg men
who come over here and collect
them and who in turn take them
back to Jersey, pack them and sell
them at a premium in the New York
markets as New Jersey eggs.
All the eggs that :he New Jersey
buyers refuse to buy are shipped III
to the markets as Delaware eggs.
Consequently the Delaware eggs
have gained the reputation of being
second rate.
Should the Delaware egg produc-
er continue to be the under dog
when the cause can be remedied7
Tie cause is lack of co Jp ,ration OF
The part of the producers. The rem
edy is a Kent and SUSSEX County
Egg Producers Cooperative Associa-
ton. Both the quality and the guam
tity of The eggs produced in these
