Dear Taylor,
Why don't you write me more Of
ten? How often do have to tell you
that letters are more valuable over
here than money?
How Is everything In dear old
Rising Sun? And how did you get
over Xmas and New Years? Don't
answer the last question, for know
the answer would be OK, and any
details or explanations would only
make me feel bad
New Years Eve some of our Eng
lish Allies fell heir to a supply of
Canadian Ale; 1t was the first dea-
cent drink have seen since l left
the states, but later | found out that
some bathed in 1T instead of drinking
1t.
We have just about finished up our
Xmas mail; 1870 of it was incorrect
ly addressed. You have some idea
what extra and unnecessary work that
caused, when it all had to be handled
three times.
The p. o. work here is about at a
stand still now, which means we will
probaly move; can't make UP my
mind wheather l am glad or sorry,
but guess it won't make any differ
ence how l feel.
How is Garvin doing? Is he still
the best Pinonochle player in town
since l left. and does he still get UP
so early in the morning? You know
he and Charlie Crothers held that
record for long time. Ask DR.. bod
son If he remembers DR.. Franklin
(once health officer). l had a long
talk with him the other day. He is
now a Col. and was asking all about
DR.. Dodson, Dr. Slicer, and Dyke.
Dug Woodwork was in to see me
yesterday; tell Ruth he looks swell,
but, like myself, would love to get
home.
Taylor, how about making me up
list of all the local fellows l know,
and where they are stationed.
might be in position to locate some
of them in the future. l still hear
from Johnnie Hindman, but he is
the only one; even Herb has let me
down, but probaly he is in love, OF
at least thinks he is. Well bud does
manage to get in a few lines once in
awhile.
l always told Sammie Keim | was
the better man of the two and now
l have proved it, for Uncle Sam lets
him out and keeps me in. don't en-
Wy him much.
| have been here 10 mos. and
believe they are going to let me vote
in the next Arab Election Don't be
surprised if l should take up Arab
customs when l get back.
| must close now, best regards to
Verna, Hazel, Paul and Lambert at
the post Office and all of my other
good friends, and tell them when
they have any spare time to write
me the news.
AS ever,

because of their large size. In one
case, giant oil tank had to be

In the other case, the large pipes

For those who wish to make jel-
lies out of fruit juices canned this
summer, there is simple procedure
to follow. If there is not enough
sugar to fill all your canning and
jelly-making needs, then the best
way of assuring yourself of jelly, is
to put up the juice and make it up
into jelly when you do have the
sugar.
Follow directions for preparing
fruit or berry juice as in jelly
making recipes. Do not add fruit or
simmer unless recipe directs it. Aft
er juice has been extracted, place
in jelly bag and squeeze out the
juice.
Fill canning jars to shoulder and
seal according to manufa cturers' di-
rections. Place jars into boiling
water bath (180 degrees) with wa
ter reaching an inch or two above
the jars. Keep water at simmering
temperature and process pints OF
juice 20 minutes, quarts 80 minutes.
Remove jars and finish sealing, if
necessary. Cool as rapidly as pos
sible but avoid draft.
To Make the Jelly.
When you desire to make the jelly,
use your favorite recipe or those
with the commercial pectins.
If you ,oish additional instruction for
canning fruit or berries, tUrtte to Miss

HOPKINS STUDENTS
HOT ON Blue JAYS
By JOHN F. CHANDLER

BALTIMORE. March g. Up -
Feathers slightly ruffled, the Johns
Hopkins University News Letter
and student council dispatched a
resolution today to the Philadel-
phia National League baseball
club demanding suitable satisfac-
tom for betaking the nickname
Blue Jays for the erstwhile Phil
lies.
The monicker had been a treas
ured property of university athletic
teams for SO years before the
Philadelphia usurpation, described
as ''reprehensible act which &.
brought disgrace and dishonor to
the good name OF the Johns Hop
kins University
DR.. Wilson Shaffer, Hopkins ath-
letic director, reacted quickly and
scientifically when the name, Phil
adelphia Jays, chosen in public
contest, hoped forth, and said the
club should use the generic term
-Cyanocitta Cristata.
But not the students. They didn't
explain whether satisfaction"
would entail baseball bats at 10
feet with or without a catcher
mask, or just plain and fancy pop
bottle singing at unlimited range.
Quoting the cold, stark league
records, the agitated scholars set
forth that the Pills, among other
things:
'Have finished in the National
League cellar more frequently
than other team, Is times to be
specific.
Have lost 100 or more games
for IL seasons.
Have only once since 1918 fin
ished in the first division, and only
once since 1876 won the National
League championship.
Their pitching staff has includ-
ed John Coleman, who in 1883
lost 48 games.
THE untimely hitting during
the season of 1929 gave them the
antime mark for men left on bases,
some 1881"
| BY contrast, the students said
Hopkins lacrosse teams land gain
ed international fame and that
track, fencing and wrestling teams
had won league titles despite a
strictly de-emphasized sports pro-
gram maintained "even to the ex-
tent Of charging no admission fee. "
