 When preserving, remember that it is best Co use enameled kettles and implements, as the acids from certain fruit juices cause Q chemi- cal reaction between the fruit and metal pans.
 Equipment you should have in- cluded: A large preserving kettle of enameled ware, Q colander, pierced ladle, funnel for filling jars, largo preserving spoon, jelly glasses, iars, rubber bands, parafiln, jelly bag and gummed labels, A good food chopper Is also handy for mincing fruit to be used for jams and buffers.
 Jelly will always "jell" perfectly if you make 1t according to mod ern methods which prescribe tho use of liquid pectln-the jellying element extracted from fruits and put up In concentrated form.
 If pectin is not used, fruits that do not jell alone - strawberries, peaches, cherries, pears-should be combined with fruit juices which do jell easily, such as apple, crah- apple, raspberry, blueberry, goose- berry and currant juices.
 Proportions of sugar to be used with different fruits in jelly mak- Ing are: For grapes, raspberries, entrants, blackberries, three-quar- ters to one cup sugar. For tart apples, crab apples and cranber- ries, half to three-quarter cup,

to notice what the Review has TO say
on the subject Of bonuses generally.
In an article entitled, I'VE Call Upon
America" Thomas Riggs. jr., men,
ber Of the Veterans Of Future Wars,
speaks about the aims Of his organi-
zation, In relation to those Of the
American Legion and the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars.
of Foreign Wars dislike the future
veterans, Mr.. Riggs notes sadly. He
quotes some Of the opposition-they
call the Princeton boys "welchefs, +"
"Slackers," "Communistic." "un-Amer-
ican" and 50 on.
However" Mr.. Riggs continues,
"once the first flush Of anger is SUBJ
sided, We hope that our requests will
be reviewed in the light Of sanity,
though for some Of our critics that
will not be possible. We feel sure that
the American Legion, the Veterans OF
Foreign Wars and the Veterans Of
Future Wars can work together for
mutual benefit, which will also be Of
benefit to the country as whole. Like
them, we wish to be first in war, first
in peace and f1rst in the Treasury of
our country"
He then describes o series Of bills
for which his organization proposes to
lobby. They are to seek preference
for all future veterans in competitive
examinations for Government posi-
tions, to authorize loans of equipment
from the War Department to the fu-
ture veterans for use in the conven-
ton this Summer, to exempt the
property Of veterans from taxation,
and 50 on. With the innocence Of a
thousand lambs, Mr.. Riggs points out
that these pieces Of proposed legisla-
ton are based on similar bills pro-
posed for the benefit Of the existing
veterans organizations.
IN time" he says, we intend to set
up permanent off1ces in Washington
with . highly overpaid lobbyist to
carry on the legislation necessary for
the advancement Of our cause.
Treasury raids, bonus grabs and
warpings of American military
and foreign policy under the cloak Of
patriotism. by highly organized minor
tiles with paid lobbies in Washington,
are the precedents on which the
Veterans of Future Wars are founded.
I feel that the continuation Of these
tactics will result in depicting the ma
tional Treasury before this country is
plunged into the next war. Therefore,
and on the basis Of precedent, the
Veterans Of Future Wars are out for
governmental gratuities for their fu-
ture services, while there is still some
thing left in the TreaSury--and while
we are still alive to enjoy it. We call
upon America to support our cause!"
