Centers Open
For Canning
Instruction

canning CenCeIS un0ef Che SpOn-
sorship of the Home Economics De-
partment Of the District Of Colum
bia public schools will be opened
beginning the week of July IL. for
the use of homemakers wishing to
help in canning fruits and vegetables
for family use. The following schools
will be open one or more days
week, as popular interest warrants:
Anacostia High School. Curtis Ele-
mentary. Deal, Macfarland. Paul,
Powell and Taft Junior High Schools,
and Taylor Elementary.
The schools to be used as centers
represent the different areas where
interest In home canning has been
shown. Kitchens OF the home eco
Monies departments or school cafe
terias will serve as workshops. Each
center will be supervised by q we'll
trained home economies teacher VINO
will conduct classes in canning as
groups Of homemakers who will be
doing their own canning.
Canning classes have already been
operating successfully and will con-
tinue on the same basis except that
they will now meet in the estab-
lished canning centers. Requests for
new classes may be made to the
canning center nearest you or to the
Home Economics ONCE, 1870 r
street NV.
Because the supply of pressure
cookers planned for national food
conservation have not yet been made
available, the volume of canning by
this method in the centers will be
limited. Greater emphasis is placed
on instruction and on showing
homemakers how to improvise can
ming equipment for use in their own
homes so that Victory garden prod
ucts may be canned as soon As
picked.
The activities Of each center will
include:
Cd -Four lessons of canning in
struction to small groups organized
from requests In the order in which
they are received. Each group will
be kept small to make instructions
more effective. For this instruction
there will be charge Of Is cents
per lesson per person to cover cost
Of materials.
ca Supervision In quantity can
ming for homemakers of the area
who wish to bring their own prod
ucts and jars and use the equipment
Of the center. A charge of 2 cents
jar will be made to cover opera
tional costs.
90 This project in all of its aspects
is a non-profit undertaking and is
planned as contribution to the war
effort.

Sign of Poor
Vitality
DR.. J. B. Warren

Low blood pressure is not a disease
but sign that something is sapping
the vitality. The low blood pressure
individual is weak, weary, and worn
because of some unknown illness.
This illness may be old infections
of teeth, tcnsils. gall bladder, intes-
tine which at first raised the blood
pressure, but now the pressure be-
comes gradually lower as the vital
forces become exhausted.

Homemaking Problems

Dear Miss NOVEL;: have Just
painted the walls of my dining room
a lovely deep blue-green shade as
a background for some nice old
pine furniture. It seems to bring
the color OF the wood out better
than any other shade. But now I
want to light the room up 4 bit and
almost any Of the figured fabrics
I find which are right in design are
dark and there Is no sparkle to the
room. Can you suggest color or
any tricks which will help light the

room up and still keep the nice
honey atmosphere which now
have? do not want the room to
look overstyled. but neither do
want 1t to be dowdy. d. B.
Answer would suggest light,
butter-yellow fabric for your color
high lights, and the use of white
milk glass and old China for deco
rative details for both atmosphere
and use. Clear yellow will bring
up all the yellow tones in your an
tique furniture. It also will bring an
effect Of sunlight in against the blue
green walls. The white will accent
both the dark tones and the yellow
to keep it from being too intense.
Try to find the tiny figured yellow
calico if possible. 1t is exactly right
in character for the room you de-
scribed.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: What can you
suggest for the bedroom curtains
that looks frilly and cool hut offers
some privacy? The people next door
can look right into my apartment.
j. Y. T.
Answer-A bedroom version of the
kitchen "cottage-type" curtain is
my favorite for this purpose. The
lower part Is straight sash curtain
hung from a rod about 6 inches
above the middle sash which gives
high wasted" effect The upper
parts are ruffled tie-backs. The
tie-back Is placed where it meets the
sash curtain rod so that the rufie
hangs over the lower curtain. Ma
terial for this may be anything
from eyelet- embroidered lawn to a
patterned chintz. Keep it light in
color and texture for . cool effect.
I think this will give you the frilly
appearance and the privacy you de-
sire.

Herb Williams, Abe Jockey, Also Singer Of Cowboy Songs

PawtuckIst R. I. April 21--n Her. bert Williams. one of the leading apprentices in action at Narragan. Sett Park, ever grows too heavy to ride, he will still be able to sup. port himself. Williams is Q singer and O guitar player. He had Q radio contract with Station WPI in Phil- adelphla before he ever signed Q contract to ride. He continued his radio grooming and swanging after he became an exercise boy. Herbs speciality Is cowboys songs,
 Williams Is Q red-head who halls from Trenton, New Jersey. His fath- CT Is in the trucking business there. Herbs older brother used to drive trucks for his father, He's in the Army now.
 Young Williams fancy turned to horses more than trucks. He wanted to be cowboy, and strange as 1t may seem, he found Q ranch that wasn't far from home. EIss took O job as e ranch hand at Albert Hern- ing's place In Bouselton, Pa, He rap- Idly developed into Q talented trick rider,
 one day Herb was doing some trick riding and Q visitor to the ranch watched him closely, The mans name was Pete PascuzEo. He owned Brown Knight and a couple of other thoroughbreds which he raced around the Maryland and hNlf-milers. When Herb dismounted, Pascug1o said: "fzey, kid, how would you like to he Q jockey2"
 Herb said he thought he'd like that, and hs left for tho Bel Air track the next day to work for Pas. cug1o. For Q month or more he did nothing but exercise horses in the day-time and sing on the radio at night. Then he signed Q contract with Anthony Darrico, who prom ised him chance to ride in races. Garfield Bought Him
 Herb had his first mount during the early spring of l942. The horses name was Gypsy Lou. She belonged to a man named Mike Johnson. During the summer Williams went to work for Joseph Camac, who late or brought him to the autumn meet Ing at Rockingham Park. At Rock ingham, Camac sold the boys pa- pers for $600 to sam Garfield, his present employer. A few days later Herb rode the first winner of his career, piloting pilatesun home In the silks of his new boss. That was last November l8.
 Herb went to New Orleans last winter, roec four more winners, The Narragansett Park meeting has been the most successful he has yet enjoyed. As the weeks sport opened there Monday, Herb had driven half & dozen winners home. for an ail- time score of II.
 Herb says the best horse he has ridden is Garfield's good sprinter' Madigama. He likes riding thor. ouUhbreds better than trick riding on the ranch horses, but he isn't quite sure but what he enjoys sing" ing and playing his guitar more than anything else.

 New York, April ae-tuPl-TherS were times during Lefty Corners pitching tenure with the Yankees when the club had dNtectlves gum. shoaslng after hlm, But now he'S with the Boston Braves, So what hAppensp The inoorrlalhle CaStiliNn discovers that one of hts teNmmAteS is . plnkerton,
 sitting In the Braves dugout at the Polo Grounds during batting practice, the veteran Southpaw pointed out toward the cage and said, "Woa is me, My past must have caught up with me, Sec that big guy out there with No, lV on his back, That guys Q dlek,"
 Lefty. you have rltfled our Eisl- hilltles with your shenanigNna on many occasions, but this ts too much" wo replied,
 Ige said, ~It you dent believe me, 70 and ask hiM," So we did.
 ny checking with Long George Kelly, Braves coach, we learned that No, lv was one Connie Creeuen, c rookie outfaelder who had come up from Dradtord, Pa, of tho Pony league,
 We introduced ourselves to tho rookie at the batting cage and in. Qulred fl he were in truth . deteo. tive.
 Creeden, c hlg, brown. hatred IrlShMan from panvers, Mass, gulped in discontinue and growled "Yeah-l I amt denyin' it, but l amt supposed to talk about N,"
 Ogfaeason 0umshoe
 We inquired, "liaS Your presence on the club any connection with the conduct of any player on the squad such as Lefty 0onesS"
 Nav" said big Connie, you got me all wrong, I'm . detective during the ols-season, amt work ing at it while I'm playin' ball, Tho club Is interested only in my bat. ting average, not my knowledge ot Hertillon and halliStlcs."
 Creeden. who packs 2iS pounds on Q six-foot-one chassis and who batted .S&s last season with Brad- ford, explained that he works for the Plnkerton Detective Agency dur ing tho oif-season, Hts work aur- Ing the past winter included pro- tectlng New England radio stations from sNhotaRe.
 q like detective work" he con- tlnued, land I like the plnkertons --a great organization. I Intend to concentrate on it when I'm through with baseball. Meanwhile I'm study lng constantly to make myself Q better operator"
 Been Around
 Creeden, though 27, Is getting hts first chance in the major leagues. When he finished Danvers high school, nine years ago, the Boston Red Box signed him and sent him to Danville of the Bi-State league. That club released him, and Connie played semi-pro ball at Portsmouth, N, H.: Manchester, N. H., and Lynn, Mass, until he joined Bradford last season. An old foothhall injury to his neck caused the Army to give him an honorable discharge early in '1i, He now is In 4-F and single.
 Coach Kelly expects Creeden to stick with the club this season as a ninch hitter. He set e new Pony league rfecord with lie runs hatted in last season and led the circuit in total bases, 2eo, giving the Braves a clue as to the detectives potency with the day stick.
