Those who hope for a better un- derstanding between the White House and the business world have found great encouragement in MT. Roosevelt's latest statement on re- employment.
 Whatever they may foreshadow as to governmental policy during the coming administration, the Presi- dents words certainly represent a notable change in temper and psy- chology from many of the Presi- dential utterances of the past three years.
 In even, persuasive tone. the chief executive has thanked business for what it has done to provide private jobs. and has suggested without threat or bluster that it keep up

REX TUCWELL
 WENT UP THEN
 HE GOES DOWN
Leaving Administrat alton Possibly Gives New
 Slant on Policies

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. = Rex Tugwell marched in and out of the Roosevelt Administration on path way paved with headlines.
 When he quit his professional desk at Columbia University to sit at Secretary Wallace's elbow, he was called a red" much to his dis gust. And he has passed barely a week since without rumor aris- ing from some source or other that he was either climbing to the ace position as a Roosevelt New Deal- CT, or was on the way out at the end of polite Roosevelt boot.
 Had he actually been so often i'll and out of the Roosevelt favor, he must have been cosntantly breath less from suspense. Doubtless, however, there were some such mo- ments.
 As an intellectual youngster he once wrote poem outlining his plan to roll up his sleeves and make America over. The record of that aspiration rode with him through the years and was mentioned time and again during the past campaign when frequently he was described as the real "motivator' behind MT. Roosevelt.
 Suffice it to say he thought many things in America ought to be made over.
 SPEECH REFLECTED IN ACTS
 A decade ago he wrote that while saving by individuals was a virtue, it was less so in corporations, whose earnings, he thought, should be dis bursed as wages or lower prices. He reiterated that in his speech in Los Angeles in October, 1885, Each industry. .. sets aside the sur pluses which ought to go to work CTS in wages or to consumers in lower prices and so dries up the potential market for it's own and others goods"
 Was that reflected in the Roose- welt administration? The Congress meeting last winter. two months after the speech, was handed an Administration bill, and enacted it. imposing taxes that compelled cor porations to disburse earnings. Wage rises followed recently, and diyi- dends were poured out. Time will tell whether price reduction will follow.
 Tugwell called it ''our best strat- egy' to surge forward with the work

Newest Thing in Coal Stoves Can Take Place Beside
Handsomest Electric Refrigerator.

when not being used. 1t is therefore
possible to have white-hot fire in
side this unique stove and still feel
no heat out in the kitchen.
A special added attraction on this
interesting piece of kitchen machinery
is a hot-Water tank In which Is stored
10 gallons of hot water, clean cooking
water, held just below the boiling point
at all times.
If your home happens to be one of
the many still equipped with an old
fashioned coal fired cooking stove you
should greet with open arms the range
oil burners which are now available
Instead Of carrying untold numbers Of
scuttles full of coal to your kitchen,
and worrying about keeping the we'll
known home fire burning, you can sit
back and enjoy almost fully auto
matte heat at all times.
Marvels of Simplicity.
These little burners are really mar
vels Of simplicity and can be installed
in an amazingly short time They
consist Of shell within a shell ar
rangement, which is placed inside the
stove where the coal fire used to burn
so greedily. on is passed into this
burner from a small control valve
mounted on the outside of the stove.
Due to its unique design the burner
requires no wick or other combustion
aiding material, the heat from the
burning oil causing vaporization pro-
cess. turning the oil into a gas, which
burns as cleanly as ordinary gas.
If you so desire you have the oil
tank, a small one, placed in the
kitchen so that it can be filled with
a minimum of bother. On the other
hand. you can have a larger tank put
down in the basement and a small
electric pump placed near the stove
burner to pull the necessary oil up
stairs. The burner works by gravity.
hence it is necessary to supply oil
from point little higher than the
burner itself.
Oh stoves now in operation using
wicks can be converted to fully auto
matte devices by means of a clever
electric lighter, invented, no doubt,
by some irate user who tired Of the
back-breaking lighting process.
This little lighter consists of an
electric heater element which is
placed around the usual wick mecha-
nism. When you desire heat from
your stove you press switch, the

small shop on upper Madison avenue

product sold. Silver, accented py
black, provides dignified and appro-

which has to make itself noticed
among many other shops on a West

At present 1t seems to be the vogue
to paint the sign above the show win

the shop front-with q contrasting

with black lettering are effective with
any store-front color. Orange with

which show distinctly.
The new method of financing such

CANNING FRUIT JUICES
HELD EASY OPERATION
Boiling Should Be Avoided to
Protect Color and Flavor,
Nutrition Expert Says.

OF all the different kinds of food
preservation that fall to the lot OF
the housewife, bottling or canning
fruit juices is probably the easiest,
says Miss Margaret McPheeters. nu-
triton specialist for the University
OF Maryland extension service. The
acid contained in the fruit makes it
possible to use the water-bath method
of processing. and one does not have
to use a boiling water bath, because
the processing is really paSteurizing
at 1876 degrees Fahrenheit. The juice
should never be allowed to boil or 1t
will lose both its color and its favor.
Some heating is necessary to extract
the juice from most fruits, but the
heating should be done quickly, just
to the boiling point, and the pan
then removed from the fire.
According to Miss McPheeters, ber-
fies, currants and plums make good
Juice for use in fruitades and punches.
They are made easily by mashing
portion of the fruit after washing 1t,
then stirring over the fire until it
just reaches the simmering point,
185 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fruit juices should not be sweet
ened at the time of bottling If they
are to be used for jelly making later,
but sugar may be added at the rate
Of one cup to a gallan of juice if the
Juice is to be used for drinks. The
sugar helps to retain the color and
improves the flavor of the juice but
is not necessary for preservation.
When used it should be added to
the strained juice and dissolved by
stirring just before the juice is re-
heated for bottling.

will blanch visibly and humble some
thing about not being interested In
hold-overs from horse and buggy
DAYS. This unpleasant reaction is
caused by fleeting memories OF the
unpleasant coal stoves that used TO-
and still do in many places, eat large
quantities of precious fuel and call
for a tremendous amount OF back
breaking labor. 1t also means that
those persons haven't seen the newest
thing in coal stoves that can take
its place next to the handsomest elec-
trio refrigerator and other modern
kitchen appliances.
This stove was invented by Swed-
ish scientist who wanted to use coal
as a fuel and was not content with
the various inefficient stoves avail
able at that time. 1t is now available
to the many people who live be-
yond the range of gas mains and
wish to do their cooking in the most
economical way possible. The stove
itself is a thing of beauty, having a
cleaning exterior of porcelain enamel.
Inside, it is a truly astonishing piece
of heating equipment. There is
combustion chamber which holds
about pounds of coal. The air inlet
to this chamber Is automatically con-
trolled by a mercury-switch thermo-
stat, which maintains constant fire
the year around, never letting it go
out 50 long as scuttle of coal a day
is added through the special bottom
feed container.
Hot and Slow Ovens.
Next to the combustion chamber
are located two ovens, one being hot
one, the other slow one. The small
fire heats up a massive barrel, so that
a large quantity of heat is stored at
all times, the cooking being done
from the stored heat rather than from
the direct heat from the fire.
The top of the stove has two hot
plates, one at such a temperature
that water can be brought to the
boiling point in 10 seconds; the other
plate is more moderate, so that ordi-
nary. cooking may be conducted in
sort Of way.
The entire stove is surrounded
with a covering of insulation S inches
thick, and the hot plates on top are
covered with special insulating lids

Vigorous measures to pre- vent disease and speed reha- bilitation work were taken today as rivers subsided in most of the 14-state eastern flood zone, leaving some $300,000,000 of property sodden or wrecked and about 100000 persons homeless.
 The crest of the Ohio river flood was moving down the valley from Portsmouth, O., toward Cincinnati. Ot the latter city, low lands already were under water and some residents had to leave their homes. Some smaller places above Cincinnati were flooded.
 A flood menace developed in the west, where the Missouri river went out of its banks, flooding low sec- tons in Omaha, Ncb.. and vicinity.
 Elsewhere the situation gradually was improving. As the waters re- ceded in the ravaged Connecticut valley of New England, the most stringent health precautions in the history of Connecticut was put into force. In the Hartford area, 30,000 persons were ordered inoculated
