Gently a member of the Sophomore
class at Bluffton High school now
in training at the Great Lakes Naval
Training school, is home this week
telling the boys how it feels to be
in Uncle Sans navy. Navy life has
already added 10 pounds to his girth
and he tells us that on his next
leave he will have bulging biceps.
Incidentally, sailor doesn't have
a furlough. That's an army term.
In the navy permission to leave
training quarters or the boat, for
more than As hours, is called a
leave. If under 4S hours it is called
liberty.
Hi Althaus, the Bluffton realtor,
was in the News office Monday
night and we inquired what the
brass watch fob symbolized. He in
formed us that he was given the fob
as an award for being a member of
the Bluffton High school champion
ship basketball team that went to
the state tournament in Delaware in
1913. The team won the first two
rounds of play before being elimi-
mated. Members of the team were
Hi Althaus, Abe Block, Harley
Spangler, Chick Hawk, Harry Hall,
and Herbert Marshall. Coach of the
outfit was |. w. Geiger. Presenta-
ton of the fobs was made by Supt.
c. A. Arganbright at a special chap
ell session nearly 80 years ago.
Paul Sauder, Bluffton college
Freshman from Grabill, Ind, has a
pair of gloves and jacket made
from the skin of deer he shot in
Canada last year. They are nice,
soft and warm and a constant re-
minder of the hunting thrills of last
winter.
Wilford Geiger, recently nominat-
ed by this column as the towns
handiest man has a contender for
this honor in the person of Lee
Coon. Geiger, in addition to his
regular teaching duties at the high
school serves as acting city clerk,
substitute school bus driver, clothing
store clerk on Saturdays and house
painter during summer vacations.
Now that looks like pretty for
midable qualifications but don't de-
eide until you see what Coon has TO
offer. In addition to his regular job
as town marshal, he is also street
commissioner, school truant officer,
janitor of st. Johns Reformed
church and temporarily, at least
! caretaker of Maple Grove cemetery
Way on the other side of the
world-in Australia, it was-that
three Bluffton men in the army held
an informal reunion. Word was re-
ceived by Mr.. and Mrs. Noah Neu-
enschwander from their son Emerson
that he had recently met Tony Will
son and Junior Holden at some un-
named spot in that far off land.

of a food may cause the child
10 develop a sensitivity 10 1t.
You should avoid an excessive

tive foods. but this is especially
important when an allergy runs

Flagpole Subs for Gun,
Scares Surface U-Boat

INTERPOLATION a Flagstaff,
made to look like a four-inch gun,
scared off a U-boat has been de-
scribed by Liverpool survivors of
the Empress of Asia.
Rescued from the Empress of
Asia, the men were on board a fiat
bottomed Chinese river boat carry
ing several hundred troops and 500
tons of bombs to Colombo, Ceylon.
Suddenly two torpedoes sped un-
der the shallow craft and a large
submarine surfaced to make the
"kill." The boat was turned in the
direction of the submarine, which
was forced to submerge.
A half-dozen RATS were covered
with tarpaulin and a flagstaff was
pushed through it, to look like four
inch gun. When the submarines
periscope broke the surface again
it was covered by formidable look
ing "gun" and it quickly vanished.

How to Use Less
Sugar for Canning

Canning more fruit with less sugar
is a wartime problem for house.
wives this summer. Juice from well
ripened fruit may be used in place
of part or all of the sugar strip.
In spite of sugar rationing the gov
eminent is encouraging the home
canning of more fruit to improve
family diets and health, and to
help relieve the country's wartime
transportation load. Home econo-
mists suggest ways to stretch sugar
in canning.
Can more fruit and preserve less.
Canning fruit or juice requires less
sugar than making jellies, jams,
marmalades and preserves. Fruit
or fruit juice may be canned sue
cessfully with little or no sweeten-
ing.
Fruit may also be canned with
just enough sugar-sirup in each jar
to give a slightly sweet flavor and
the rest of the space filled with
Juice. Cook fruit in an open kettle
to draw out the juice, and then pack
hot and cover with hot juice.
Mild-favored sirups like honey or
corn strip may be used in canning
fruit. Honey or corn strip may be
substituted for as much as half
the sugar in canning, but larger
proportion of strip will mask the
delicate fruit favor--as will a sirup
with a distinctive flavor, such as
maple, sorghum, or molasses. Sac
charine, a coal tar product with a
very sweet taste, cannot be used in
canning because it becomes bitter
when heated.

Search for Oil Clues
In Mud of Seabottom

The discovery of brilliantly col
ored pigments Of red, green and
other colors, in the 8,000-year-o!d
seabottom muds has lent emphasis
to studies at the Scripps Institution
of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calf,
to discover what chemical organ
isms are at work in the complete
darkness of the black mud.
DR.. Denis L. Fox, assistant pro-
fessor of biochemistry, reports that
ancient materials of biological orr
gins, preserved by the nature of the
environment from destruction by
oxygen, light or heat, may account
for the colored specimens of mud.
Whether oil is formed by micro
organisms or the same agencies
which produce this material, is a
question occupying not only DR.. Fox
but DR.. Claude E. ZoBell, assistant
professor of marine microbiology,
and DR.. H. U. Sverdrup, director of
the institution.
The presence of many chlorophyl
derivatives and carotenoids in the
sea deposits has opened several
lines of investigation, according to
DR.. Fox.
