Vegetable Canning

Vegetable Canning
In addition to the correct time and
temperatures for different vegetables
the following rules apply to the can
ming of all vegetables:
The first rule is to use care in the
selection and handling of the vegeta-
HES. Get your vegetables fresh from
the garden and can them as quickly as
nossible. The vegetables loses flavor
and goodness when they are held over
for any length of time. Also be sure to
use good quality vegetables, because a
bit of decay may spoil an entire batch.
Divide the vegetables up into small
lots that yau can handle easily. You
can work more efficiently if you don't
try to do too many things at one time.
Preccok your vegetables and have
them hot when you put them into the
cans. This precooking shortens the
time of processing the food. 1t also
saves the bother of "exhausting" the
cans to get the air out before sealing
them.
Precooll only the amount required
to fill the number of cans you are able
to process at one time. If the cans of
warm vegetables are allowed to stand
before processing, the bacteria in
them will multiply very rapidly
Be sure to keep complete records of
each batch-the kind of food, the date
canned and the method of processing.
Put all this information on the label
of each can or jar. Then if anything
should 90 wrong, you can trace back
and find the cause of spoilage.
Don't guess at the time OF temper
ature for processing.

been obvious in the reduction in all

But the fact that pedestrians con-
tinue to top the list Of fatalities and
Injuries indicates that more should

the street on foot.
Certainly Washington cannot be
compared with any other city except
on the basis of results obtained. No
two cities have the same problem.
Baltimore Pittsburgh and st. Louis
are communities whose older streets
are unusually narrow. Yet their
traffic problems and accident records
differ widely.
Progress which has been made in
reducing accidents in Washington
during the last two years, but espe-
cially since the first of this year, is
most encouraging. Steps taken in
recent weeks by police officials PROM
Use still greater improvement. Many
gains have been made, more remains

Supreme Court Session

The consistency with which the
Supreme Court upheld the rulings
of Federal administrative agencies
in the session just ended stirS spec
ulation as to just how far this line
of decisions may have run counter to
public sentiment, when considered in
the light of the strength that has
been demonstrated in both Houses of
Congress by the Walter bill,
which would curb these self same
groups.
The rebuffs invariably encountered
by challenges to the authority of this
fourth branch" of Government con-
stituted noticeable trend in the
court that was in sharp contrast to
the efforts under way at the same
time in Congress to divest these
quasi legislative and quasi-judicial
establishments of excessive powers.
Passed by the House by vote of
nearly three to one, several weeks
ago, the Logan-Walter bill, bitterly
opposed by the administration, has
since been tied up in the Senate.
The House vote unquestionably is
to be interpreted as evidence OF
growing demand over the country
that halt be called to the ire
sponSible exercise of authority by
boards, bureaus and commissions.
The unwillingness of Democratic
leaders to allow the bill to get to
a vote in the Senate may indicate
their belief that passage there also
is likely.
The National Labor Relations
Board particular target of attack
in the House in this Congress was
the major beneficiary of the Supreme
Court decisions, while the Federal
Communications Commission and
the Public Contracts Board of the
Labor Department also scored i'm
portant victories. And in passing on
cases involving these agencies, the
court did not hesitate to criticize
lower tribunals in those instances
where they had ruled against them,
emphasizing frequently that the
independent agencies by their nature
are endowed with broad administra-
tive discretion that is not subject to
judicial supervision
The result has been to strengthen
lmmeasurably the executive arm of
the Government, and correspond
ingly to handicap private litigants.
Congress is the sole source of relief
in this situation, and the issue is
one that demands attention.

stitutions of value, to provide help
full social advantages for all classes,
to protect the essential American
character of the town as the home of
its permanent residents and as a

men from near and far.
Mr.. Heurich has contributed of
his own genius, his powers of mind
and heart, to this progressive move
ment. 1t therefore may be said in
truth that he has built a monument
to himself in Washington. His ex-
ample is a force for good among his

Synthetic Rubber

OF great Importance, as the Nation
prepares to strengthen its defenses,
is the announcement that American
industry has developed new types of
synthetic rubber. After fourteen
years of research, the B. F. Goodrich
Company has evolved an artificial
substitute for natural rubber, and is
now manufacturing the first auto
mobile tire made entirely from do
meStic materials, it's president, John
L. Collyer revealed yesterday in New
York. Earlier this week, w. S. Parish,
president of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, announced that
company technicians have developed
new type of synthetic rubber from
petroleum. If necessary, he said, this
could be made in large quantities.
For its supplies of natural rubber,
the United States today is almost
completely dependent on imports
from the Dutch East Indies and Brit
ish Malaga. A stoppage of imports,
through the extension of the war to
this area, or for any other reason,
would soon result in a rubber Short
age in this country. Existing stocks
are only sufficient. to last a few
months. Though some rubber is
produced in Brazil and Mexico, these
countries could supply but a fraction
of our peacetime requirements.
Consumption of rubber in the
United States has been increasing in
recent years, and now totals more
than 100000 tons annually. Rubber
has scores of industrial uses. The
Army needs large quantities of rub
ber for it's motorized and mechanical
units, and for use in the manufac-
ture of tires for airplanes. Because
of it's Importance both to industry
and national defense, the Army and
Navy Munitions Board has given
rubber high priority on its list of
strategic materials.
BY developing synthetic subSti-
tutes, Germany is no longer depend
ent on imports of natural rubber
from overseas. Through these sub
stitutes, the German government is
meeting large part of it's present
rubber requirements, according to
reports reaching officials here. Last
year only about 1000 tons of syn
thetic rubber were manufactured in
the United States.
Because of our dependence on far
distant sources of supply, and the
many uses of rubber in industry and
national defense, there is real need
to develop in this country the manu-
facture Of synthetic rubber on q
substantial scale.

Traffic SURVEY

Thorough investigation Of the
traffic situation in Washington, as
proposed by Representative D'Ales-
andre, with special emphasis on
increasing safety, eliminating rush
hour jams and considering the
system of signals, would be timely,
since the study would be made
during the recess of Congress, when
the results of the highway use survey
now being completed by the Public
Roads Administration probably would
become available. This latter check,
the only fully comprehensive survey
of actual traffic flow conditions ever
made here, will provide for the first
time accurate information on which
to base safety engineering plans.
If the proposed select committee
holds strictly to the seeking of new
information, rather than attempting
to find evidence in support of pre-
conceived theories, great benefits
should be expected An example is
the matter of lights and stop signs.
At present lights are installed only
after counts at the specific intersec-
tions indicate a sufficient volume of
conflicting traffic to justify them. In
seeking funds for more lights in the
current appropriation bill, traffic
officials pointed out that approx
mately hundred more corners are
in need of signals. Funds have been
provided for only about twenty-five.
Probably the congressional study
would be able to adopt a new method
OF long-range planning which would
provide for needed expansion and
alterations.
Pedestrian protection also is
matter worthy of study. Present
regulations were adopted at the re-
quest OF citizens after long and
serious study. Their benefits have

Lost Path

The little path is lost, now that her use
is past
The weeds, long cut away, have over
come at last.
They have forsaken her, the human feet
that made
Her winding pleasantly through the

The fragile feet of mice and beetles run
along
Her length, now growing dim; hornets
warning song
Sounds where boys loud call echoed
not long ago;
Where lovers slowly passed, toads hop
and Aettles grow.
The little path is lost, and yet, it may

Light fails, remembering ghosts come
down her way again.
