What is pectin?

WudC - pCCtAh!
Pectin is a substance found In
most fruits and in many vegeta-
bles. such as tart under-ripe az
pies; currants; orange peel; car
rots: turnips, and cranberries.
without pectin, juices used for jel-
lies will not "set" or "jell." That is
why commercial or homemade pee
tin must be added when making
Jelly from juices Of products that
do not contain pectin naturally

VIII a wide, open ditch, sOwn to

ed?
It is never wise to pasture q
ditch. Sooner or later such treat
ment will involve heavy cleaning
out expense. However, If the ditch
is dry part Of every summer, and
YOU must pasture it, sow Kentucky
bluegrass when the ditch Is dry,
rather than reed canary grass.
Make the side slopes Of such a
ditch very flat-allow at least 4
feet horizontal run TO every foot OF
depth. For example, a ditch 2 feet
deep and four feet wide In the bot
tom would be 2x4x2 plus 4, or 70
feet wide on top.-H. B. Roe, Divi-

Leaving out the why's and where,

be relied upon as a safe guide in
canning or in sizing up the anthem
ITCHY of what one hears:
The canning of non-acid veget-
ables and meats should be done
with pressure cooker, if at all pos,
sible. The water bath method 10
not recommended. Oven canning
should absolutely be avoided for
non-acid vegetables and meats
2. If lack Of pressurecooker makes
it necessary to use the water bath,
be sure to follow very carefully the
essential steps In this method, al
lowing the full time for processing.
Have the water really boiling and
bubbling vigorously before starting
to count processing time. A good
thermometer is desirable.
8. The hot pact is the only method
recommended for placing products
into jars or cans.
4. Use only fresh, sound products
for canning and do not allow them
to stand around before canning

The harsh new anti-Semitic program

OF ominous international significance

Memel, which was awarded to the Baltic

Hitlerism i'm Excelsis.

Apparently there are no limits to the
lengths of idolatry to which Adolf Hitler
permits the German people to go in
voicing devotion to his leadership. The
current National Socialist party con-
gress at Nuremberg is being held in an
atmosphere of pagan exaltation with
out parallel in modern history. The
measure of its frenzy is exemplified by
the affirmation of the Hitler youth
leader that "our fidelity to the Fuehrer
Is our gate to immortality"
1t was against that background of
politico-religious mysticism, with God
manifesting Himself in an invincible
German nation through Adolf Hitler as
its modern Mahomet"-as the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Nuf4m-
berg graphically pictures the situation
that the NaZi dictator last night con-
voked a special session of his private
Reichstag for the purpose of passing a
series Of stringent anti-Semitic laws,
hurting defiance at Lithuania over the
Memel question and rattling the saber
which Germany now wields in the form
OF her conScript army.
The new laws provide for denational-
iaztion of Jews. "Non-Aryans" will con-
tinue to be members Of the state" but
will not enjoy the rights Of citizenship.
Marriages and extra-marital relations
between Germans and Jews are for
hidden under penalty Of penal servitude.
Jews may not employ female domestic
help of German blood under the age OF
forty-five years. Another law having
declared the swastika to be the national
flag, Jews are forbidden to display 1t,
and may show only the blue and white
colors of Zionism. In advocating these
laws before the ReichStag, Hitler de-
clared that they represent the govern
ment's last attempt to deal with the
Jewish problem" by statute and that

pie of the Nation. 1t has had q psyche
logical effect upon them, as upon their
elders. Literally thousands Of univer-
sity and college graduates are unem-
ployed, additional thousands are engaged
perforce in work which they can con-
slider only as q temporary expedient-
labor which returns no reward compare
BILE with the investment Of time. energy
and money which they have made In
their schooling. No wonder that many
are discouraged.
The dificulty, however, is not new.
Indeed, the difference between the ad-
justment troubles Of the latest generation
and those of their forerunners is solely
one of degree, not kind. Every period
of history has had its quota Of obstacles
and hindrances, its wars, revolutions,
famines, plaques, mental and spiritual
reactions. The world always has been
q bog for those willing to be caught in
it. Recognition Of that sobering truth
is one Of the factors necessary for a
proper comprehension Of the task with
which society as q whole must deal and
with which educators as class and
students themselves in particular are
concerned. Abraham Lincoln, for exam
pie, had to fight for an education. Ben
jamin Franklin and George Washington
were self taught. And 1t may be that
it was because of their disabilities that
they were so notably humane.
America few years ago stood in dam
ger of being dominated by snobbish.
Isolated, Supercilious aristocracy Of
wealth, graduated, but not educated, in
any faithful meaning of the word. The
universal economic slump has eliminated
that peril, and fundamental democracy
may be coming into existence in the
United States. Perhaps a gentler, more
tolerant, more sympathetic civilization
Is to be the eventual fruit Of processes
now operative. If SO, the boys and girls
of the quagmired generation may be
men and women Of nobler character
and more chivalrous intelligence than
their theoretically more fortunate
seniors. Edmund Burke, q man wise
In the science Of humanity, summed
I'D the possibilities when he spoke OF
difficulty as being "a source Of great
ness" Suffering, disappointment and
seeming failure, so viewed. are assets
not to be despised.

A part of the relatively large expedi-
ture for capital Improvements in 1881
and 1882 was made possible by the
existence of healthy surplus in local
revenues; or, perhaps more accurately,
by the existence of a cash balance in
local revenues that Congress had not
appropriated. This surplus was prac-
tically exhausted when local revenues
were used to reduce the lump sum. Since
1884 the District has been placed, to all
intents and purposes, on maintenance
basis, with relatively small sums avail
able for capital expenditures outside OF
funds borrowed from the P. w. A. No
money has been saved, for the needs
have merely accumulated and money
which should have gone into improve
ment has been used to reduce the lump
sum. For the next fiscal year the de-
partment heads estimate the need for
$13,OOO,OOO in improvement, an amount
which the Commissioners will be forced
to cut.
At the same time, the Federal Gov
ernment's own needs for expansion have
been met by large land purchases, adding
to the already large total Of tax-exempt
property. The showing here is that
while the taxable area Of the District
already arbitrarily limited by non-exten-
sible boundaries-is diminished by in
creasing Withdrawals Of property to the
tax-exempt list, the District Is being
called on to furnish an increasingly
large percentage Of the cost OF Capital
City maintenance and improvement. Be-
tween 1928 and 1886 the Districts share
has increased from seventy-f1ve to
eighty-five per cent.
1t seems a particularly misguided
effort to consider furnishing more local
taxes, through new or higher forms OF
local taxation, when the net result OF
such effort will be merely to decrease
the Federal lump sum without obtaining
the improvements so greatly needed, and
the element of inequity is added when
comparisons show definitely the adequacy
of the existing local tax burden.
The first aim is to fix the Federal
obligation, arising not only from the
increasing tax-exempt property holdings
of the National Government, but through
other factors which the Commissioners
committee will be able to demonstrate
through its studies.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

News that Senator Pope, Democrat,
Of Idaho Is ON his way home from
Geneva causes no regrets at the State
Department. Nothing, Of course, has
been said about 1t publicly, but it's not
likely that Secretary Hull and his CO.
workers viewed with any particular
pleasure the activities of the Senator at
the League Of Nations in these critical
hours. Mr.. Pope's cablegram to the
department, suggesting that the United
States and France, as co-authors of the
kellogg BRAND pact, should call con-
ference of the So Signatory powers in
order to prevent an Ethiopian
war, evoked diSintereSted reception
which spoke volumes. There Is no evi-
dence that the Idahoan, who is a men,
ber Of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. has ventured at any time to
speak officially for the United States
in Europe, but his meanderings and
outgivingS over there at this delicate
international juncture struck many au-
thorities in Washington as meddlesome
and troublesome. There is undiSguiSed
satisfaction in interested quarters that
Senator Pope decided not to visit Rome
after leaving Geneva this week.
Another Canadian American water
way. wholly apart from the st. Law
renee project, is contemplated by an act
of Congress which escaped general at
tention during the rush and crush OF
other matters during the late session.
The International Joint Commission,
which SuperviseS boundary relations be-
tween the United States and Canada, is
requested by Congress to investigate the
advisability Of waterway from Mon
treal through Lake Champlain. to con-
meet with the Hudson River. The COM
mission is to report to the Ottawa gov
ernment and to Congress, with its rec
concentrations for cooperation between
the two countries in the creation of the
proposed canal. United States Army
Engineers are expected to assist the
Joint Commission in mapping out our
end Of the project. The American MEM
bers Of the I. J. C. are former Gov. A. o.

On the same day last week that the
Treasury disclosed that Uncle Sam Is
consuming more legal liquor, to the tune
of 14,900000 gallons in excess Of the
total for the first seven months Of 1884,
the w. C. T. U. closed its sixty-f1rst an
nual convention in Atlantic City with
rousing vote to continue its fight for the
return of prohibition. Speakers charged
the Federal administration with deliber-
ately promoting the liquor trafflc for
revenue purposes and declared that for
this reason the Treasury opposes the
reduction of excise taxes. The conven-
ton also heard accusations that the
New Deal has failed to fulhl the Gov
ernment's obligation to protect dry
States by not enacting laws to make
effective the second section Of the twen-
ty-flrst amendment.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Differences between human beings are
even more amazing than their funda-
mental likenesses.
Consider the case Of the local resi-
dent who made 81 purchases.
The exact number must be specified,
for therein lies the point.
Twenty purchases were made of small
books in popular series, costing 80
cents each.
They were bought one or two at a
time, several times q week, SO that the
total time taken in their selection was
almost q month.
Every time the gentleman was around
that way he would drop into the book
store and buy q new one.
Each time he was waited on by the
same clerk.
At the end of the period, after an
outlay of SIG, the clerk had no word Of
greeting, or even sign of recognition.
His twenty-flrst purchase was Of a
bath spray, at one Of the many drug
stores which the city boasts. The fixture
cost considerably less than q dollar.
The man had experienced dif1culty In
finding one to fit the bathtub faucet, he
said, SO he thought he would try this one.
The clerk hoped it would do.
More than O week later our purchaser
happened into the drug store again.
He was busy with another clerk when
he heard voice ask:
Did that bath spray fit?"
Sure enough, 1t was the clerk he had
seen only once, but who had remem-
bered.
II one can believe the tales that used
to be told. the first clerk would get no.
where and the second soon would be-
come general manager.
Let us hope it works out so.
Memory and courtesy-they make
wonderful combination in business as
elsewhere.
Not enough has been said in business
literature. despite it's volume, about the
wonderful feeling Of pleasure the aver
age customer has when he finds himself
actually remembered by salesman.
Some members Of the dear old buying
public are much more sensitive to such
influences than others, of course.
The hard-boiled customer, male or
female, particularly the latter, doesn't
want any sympathy from clerks.
The latter want sympathy from themi
The bulk Of mankind, however, have
genuine urge for companionShip with
the people with whom daily dealings are
made in regard to purchase of the thou
sand and one commodities sold in stores.
Those clerks who remember us, and
who have a genuine interest in us-these
are eagerly remembered in their turn.
We may not send any commendatory
letters to the president Of the Arm, tell
ing him what q fine fellow So-and-So
is, but in our own minds he will occupy
q niche all his own.
When We 60 back to that store we
will look for him.
What is more important. all the time
we will have a friendly feeling toward
that establishment, mostly based on a
friendly feeling for the clerk in question.
This Is such q fundamental relation
ship based on such essential psychology,
that it would seem 1t should be known
to everybody In the world.
But what do we see?

Challenge to Youth.

America, it is said, has a quagmired
generation-"its boys and girls now
laundering and stumbling through the
critical period between high school and
college," But public interest in the prob
lem is not lacking. The American Coun-
Gil on Education, with private capital,
is developing a program to meet the
need of the youngsters, and the Gov
ernment, through the c. c. C. camps and
by means of a so-called Youth Pro-
gram still somewhat nascent, is doing
what it can in the same direction.
But the morale of the boys and girls
is the principal issue. The depression
has been and unhappily yet remains .
