@. How are the seeds of mistletoe
transmitted from tree to tree2-I N. B.
A. Birds are believed to spread 1t by
eating the berries and wiping their bills
on tree bark to remove the sticky seeds.
When the seeds terminate, sucker-roots
are sent down through the bark and
nourishment is obtained directly from
the tree.
@. Is liquor being rationed In any Of
the States?-P. r. N
A. Five States are rationing liquor.
They are Washington, Idaho Iowa, Ohio
and North Carolina.
@. Do the eggs of snakes vary In color
like those of birds?-D. G. w.

ton in color. All snake eggs are white
or cream.
@. Is any part of the British Empire
still on peace terms with Germany
r. T. D.
A. Fire is the only member of the
British Commonwealth that is not at
war.
@. What significance, If any, Is at
tached to the red and white bars on the
blue field worn by AFRAID wardens?
H Moo.
A. The Office of Civilian Defense says
that the bars were chosen because they
have always signified certain amount
of authority coupled with responsibility.
This was true In the days of chivalry.
The three white bars alternating with
four red bars on blue field signify the
many duties which afraid wardens are
expected to perform. The visibility was
taken into account In the choice of
colors.
@. How long do dollar bills usually
stay in circulation?-G. L. N.
A. There is a wide difference In the
life and use of paper money depending
on the denomination. The smaller de-
nominations, ones twos and f1ves, stay
out from six to nine months before they
are retired. Higher denominations last
longer, especially the notes which lie in
banks as reserves.

Protests Alleged Double Fare
For Curtailed Transit Service.


I see that the PUG is soon to go into
action with the Capital Transit Co. over
reduction OF streetca'r and bus fares.
This is delayed step, but now that the
spirit has moved the commission I hope
that it puts teeth in it's bite.
We pay whole fare for half-fare rides.
In other words, we pay for what used to
be dimes worth of comfort and con-
venience-a seat to sit in with enough
oxygen to 60 around. Now we still pay
a dime for sometimes not even standing
room and the shortage of air amounts
almost to suffocation.
So the case is as clear as a crystal
we are paying for service not received.

"Any jar suitable for use in home

lettered on them are suitable) may
be used for water-bath processing
Mason jars may be sealed with one
piece zinc cap and rubber-if you
can find the caps-With glass top
seal, or with two piece vacuum seal
caps. Glass top seal closures and
vacuum caps seal on the top edge
of the jar, therefore it is necessary
to make sure the top edges of the
jars are even, smooth, and perfect
in every respect. The bands are
screwed down tight on the vacuum
seals as soon as the jars are filed to
within from one to one-half inch of
the top, and should not be frightened
again. Zine caps are screwed down
on the rubber and then loosened
slightly. Bands for glass top seals
are screwed down and then loos-
ened. This tightening and loosening
is called partly sealing and should
always be done before jars are
placed in a Gamer. Seals are COM

certain destruction of bacteria and
because the canning can be done
more quickly. But" says Gladys
Kimbrough, Home. Service Director
of Ball Brothers Company, who
heartily approves using pressure
cooker whenever possible, 1.-The time
is at hand when we must be practi-
cal. Don't worry if you can't buy
pressure cooker for surely you can
find a wash boiler lard can, baby
bath tub or some deep container in
which water can be boiled. Tack
few strips of wood together to make
a rack or platform to hold the jars
about one-half inch from the bottom
of the container Find something,
even if it has to be a board, to use
as lid. Then you will have water
bath Gamer for those Victory gar
den vegetables.
You are afraid to eat vegetables
canned that way? Nonsense! A lot
of folks who say a water bath can't
be used were raised on vegetables
canned by that method. But let's
get three things clear before we go
any further: first, there have been
few instances Of poisoning from eat
ing canned vegetables; second, all
such danger can be avoided by boil
ing the canned vegetables Is min
utes before tastingror serving-they
should be re-boiled before serving
if left from one meal to the next;
third, a pressure cooker is not a
guarantee against spoilage There
will be spoilage if the pressure
gauge registers too low or if poor
judgment is used in the selection,
preparation, and packing of food
into the jars. And don't let anybody
tell you otherwise.
"Now, back to the water bath.
The water should be steaming but
not boiling when the jars are low

cover the tops of the jars two or
more inches. No, water won't get

Jar Rubbers Are
Different This Year

1t is now thought that red rubber
will be available for jar rings this
year but there will be no cetus c 4or
alarm if the rubbers you buy turn
out to be black. 1t is the rubber,
not the color, that counts. True, you
may be a bit startled when you
open your first package of the war
models. But what of it?'' asks
Gladys Kimbrough, Homo Service
Director of Ball Brothers Company,
"Our grandmothers cot along well
enough with lipless rubbcrs and so
can we"
Months ago, manufacturers began
experiments to learn how to make
jar rings that would conserve both
rubber and food-the government
set its scientists to the same task.
One of the first things upon which
all agreed was that lips are unneces-
sary for opening jars. The point of
a thin knife can be run under the
rubber to make tiny space for air
to seep through and break the seal.
It is then easy to remove cap or lie,
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1943-08-19

It was also agreed that jar rings
could be a small fraction of an inch
narrower but the thickness must re-
main at the pre-war standard.
Wartime rubbers will keep jars
sealed alright, but they won't stand
abuse. To get good results, break
yourself of that never-good habit of
stretching to test and follow these
four simple rules:
/. Wash and rinse rubbers. Boil
them to sterilize if you can fruits
the old-fashioned open-kettle way. If
processing is to be done. drop the
rubbers in boiling water and set
aside until needed.
2. Have rubbers wet when they
are used-and be sure that each
rubber lies fat on the sealing sur
face of the jar.
8. Partlyaseal all jars before proc
essing.
4. Screw zinc caps and bands on
glass top seal closures slowly when
sealing, as quick or jerky turns
cause rubbers to slip out OF position.

Will Maslow, FEPC Director Of
Field Operations, said that Negro
girls have been hired by the COM
pany and found quite satisfactory
since the company issued strict
instructions to all its supervisory
and personnel staff to eliminate
any consideration of race, religion
or nationality in employment.
The matter was referred TO the
Committee by the United States
Employment Service after q check
had disclosed that all Negro girls
referred to the firm had been re-
iected. over two~month period
500 white girls were referred toAthe
company Of whom 800 were hired.
During the same period however,
of 100 Negro girls referred, all of
whom met the same basic stand
ards, none was hired.
Investigation brought from the
management the explanation that
the jobs required handling of small
mechanisns and that the Negroes
were rejected because they "all
had 'sweaty' hands" It was found
that the 'test" for 'sweaty hands
was superficial and questionable rs
to It's validity
When these findings were pre-
sented to the management at
later conferences, officials Of the
company admitted the possibility
of error in the original belief and
promptly moved TO correct any
employment practices which might
III any way violate the principles OF
the Executive Orders 1902 and
