Complains About Appointment
OF Assistant to War Secretary.

To the Editor OF The Star.
On page 2X of The Star for January al
your headline writer says: Patterson
Answers Attacks on Polletti"
A close reading of the article. how
ever, shows that Mr.. Patterson did not
answer any attacks on Mr.. Poletti. He
did say, Mr.. Poletti is now special as
sistant to the Secretary of War, but de-
cleared he did not know the nature of
Mr.. Polettis particular duties"
Not line in his statement can be
construed as an answer to the many at
tacks made on the rancid appointment
of Mr.. Poletti, including the very able
criticism Of The Star itself.
Edward J. Flynn is unfit to go to Aus
traha, so is Mr. Poletti unfit to enter the
office Of Secretary of War as a special
assistant.
These appointments represent a low
type of political award for sauslid polit-
ical work. HENRY F. SINGLETON.

OVEN CANNING NOT
RECON- M ENDED

Home Gamers have been warned
against the oven method of canning
food by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Not only is oven canning
slow and unsatisfactory, but it may
lead to serious accidents as a result
of misunderstanding of canning tech
niques. Disadvantages of oven can
ming mentioned by the USDA are:
Juice bubbles out or steams away;
peaces and pears are likely to darken.
For the vegetables that need high
heat to kill bacteria, oven canning is
not safe Even though the oven goes
to $50 F., or higher, food inside the
glass jars stays at about the boiling
point" And the boiling point of
water, 212' F., is not sufficient heat
to kill dangerous bacteria in a rea-
sonable time in beans, peas, corn, and
other non-acid vegetables and meat.
For canning these, the department
recommends only a steam pressure
canenr, and for fruits and tomatoes
the boiling water bath.
