More Sugar Allowed
For Home Canning

Sugar allotments for home canning
have been liberalized.
Under a new regulation, home can
ncrs will be entitled to one pound of
sugar for every four quarts of canned
fruit, and an additional pound of
sugar for each member Of the family
to make jams, jellies, preserves and
fruit buffers.
Previous regulations restricted each
sugar ration cardholder to five pounds
for home canning, If this amount has
already been used in putting up early
fruits and berries, it must be COM
puted in any new canning allotment
The liberalization was made, Price
Administrator Leon Henderson said,
to conserve fruit which might other
wise be wasted and to supplement
commercially canned supplies, there
by reducing the burden on transport
tation facilities.

REGISTRATIONS
SET FOR YOUTHS
IS TO 20 YEARS
President Summons About s.
100000 to Sign Up June 30;
May Be Used in War
Industries

President Roosevelt has summoned
about 100000 of Americas young
men to register on June 80 and COM
plete the survey of manpower avail
able for fighting or making the weap-
ons for combat.
The final batch of registrants under
the selective service act will be youths
of eighteen and nineteen, plus those
who have become twenty years old
since the first of the year.
Four previous registrations took
care of men twenty through sixty
four years of age, nearly 100000
of them
Those eighteen and nineteen years
old cannot be drafted for military
service under existing law, but some
of them might be modified along
with older men for service in war
plants.
1t has been estimated that as of
April 1 there were 2,483,00 men in
that age bracket, while probably $780,
900 who have turned twenty also will
register on June 80.
The army and navy have been
urging voluntary enlistments of
youths IS and 10, and those who have
joined the armed forces will not have
to register.
From the pool of nearly 100000
men who will have signed up with
local selective service boards by July
|, approximately 22,500,000 will be
withdrawn for military duty or for
work in war factories. Paul V. Nc
Mutt, commissioner of war manpower,
asserted that an additional 10,500,000
war workers would be needed this year
and 100000 by the end of 1913.
May Lower Draft Age Soon
A proposal to lower the minimum
age for compulsory service in the
armed forces to 10, and possibly IS
years, is expected to be put before
Congress soon. When Congress re-
vised the Sclectivc Service Act in the
first month after Pearl Harbor, the
War Department recommended that
19-year-olds be made subject to the
draft. The Senate agreed but the
House voted to put the minimum age
at 81. A compromise permitted the
20-year-olds to be drafted

Small Dormer Window

delightful things to beautify the
home. Some of the prettiest gadg-

One woman did a marvellous job
fitting up a small dormer-window
bedroom at the top Of an old
house. After the room had been
done over and prettily finished, she
turned her attention 10 the win
dow and turned it into a makeup
box.
A shallow cornice was built
over the top of the window frame,
and a shelf just flush with the
sill, both of them the full width
of the recess. This gave the
foundation for delightful dress
ing table set up, ready for trim
