BLACK AN CLES
BY S. S. Taylor

poll tax by every vete-age Negro
in Arkansas would bring many a
politician out Of the White Pri-
mary seeking the big Negro vote
poised and ready for the general
election. Another dollar a year
by every vote-age Negro devoted
to campaign expense money of al
most any candidate for any office
would almost certainly take that
candidate out of the anti Negro
bracket.
A dollar-a-year poll tax has
kept the Negro out of politics,
Nothing -a-year for politics has
kept him out of Importance.
Some people have a mistaken
idea that votes rule the nation.
That is true only in surface
sense. The rulers of America
are the people who put up the
money-pol ltax payers, where
poll taxes are levied, and cam
paign fund givers everywhere.
This is true, too, in labor
unions. in chambers of commerce,
in everything. The people who
put up the money are the peo-
pie who exercise the power. A
labor union without a treasury
could never pull off a strike. A
penniless chamber of commerce
and an unsalaried secretary can
expect no influence save that of
moral suasion,
In the early days of freedom
our fore-fathers managed the
only way they could manage.
They had little except brain,
Drawn. and supposed freedom
They used these elements to ac-
quire millions in money and in
property.
We no longer need to use the
methods of ex-slaves just out
from under the lash. The weapon
of all folk who move forward is
large in our hands.
The public policy of the Negro
since EmanciDatiDn NAV be
divided into two periods-the get
money period and the use-money
period. He has now got nearly
all he can get without putting out
what he has to get more. He is
in the use-money period; but he
does not know it.

An insects lot is an increasing
ly unhappy one. Two years ago
DOT, a synthetic chemical whose
lethal effect on insects could not
have been predicted, was hailed as
the wonder insecticide. Now anoth-
err unexpected chemical insect-kill-
er, variously called "Gammexane,"
benzene hexa chloride and $685. has
been announced. According to pre-
iminary reports, it promises to
equal or better DOT for some ap-
plications and on weevils is five
times more effective. The new in
secticide has much in common with
DOT. It is synthetic organic COM
pound produced by chemical reac-
ton.
1t is apparently effective against
almost the same insects as DOT, but
in laboratory and field tests less
seems to go farther. For instance,
in one test, a 0.01 per cent solution
of "Ganamexane" killed 70 per cent
or a known number of flies, whereas
a 0.02 per cent DOT solution killed
on.y 81 per cent. In another test,

pearance of the fruit still retains it's
shape. flavor and texture. On the
table, time is also given for process
ing in the pressure cooker if one is
available, but it is not essential for
fruit canning as it is for vegetable
preserving.
Syrup Making Guide.
Thin syrups for fruit canning will
be most popular this year because
of the sugar shortage. For this type,
use cup sugar to 8 cups water.
Heat the sugar and liquid together
until sugar is dissolved and syrup
is boiling. Or, use II cup corn
syrup Digit or dark or "a cup honey
with II cup sugar.
Medium type syrup is good for
most fruits and berries, but it re-
quires little more sugar. The pro-

Insect Killer, 'Cammexane' Proves Superior to DIT in
Tests on Mosquitoes Weevils Flies and Crasshoppers

when scattered at the rate of one
half pound per acre, it killed 81 per
cent of the yellow-fever mosquito
larvae in two days and 100 per cent
in three days; this compared with
a 43 per cent kill in two days and
81 per cent in three days with the
same amount of DOT. "Gammex-
ane" kills wide range of insects,
including mosquitoes. grasshoppers,
cockroaches, lice and mites, the le-
thai dose varying with the insect.
Like DOT, the new material is fatal
to the bee, which helpfully pollinates
fruits and flowers.
"Gammexane" is a triple threat.
If an insect touches it, eats it or
breathes it, his life is over-at least
in a few hours. It can be sprayed
in kerosene solution or a stable wa
ter emulsion, or used as a dust. Its
high-temperature stability also per-
mits its use as a funigant by con-
version to vapor on hot plate.
According to available information,
it is not a menace to the user, but
has proven extremely toxic to fish.

portion is cups water to cup sug-
ar, or half corn syrup or honey and
half Of the amount in sugar.
In past years, peaches and pears
and some of the other fruits have
always been canned with a thick
SYRUP cup water to cup sugar.
Don't feel that you cannot can if the
sugar doesn't reach around for this
type of syrup. A thin or medium
syrup can do the job.
Packing Jars.
Fruits, berries and tomatoes
(Which are considered a fruit for
canning purposes) are delicate in
texture and high in juice content.
They should be packed solidly in
the jar to prevent undue shrinkage
and consequent empty" appear
ance after processing. Precooking
of the fruit is suggested because it
shrinks the fruit or berry and en-
ables you to get more in the jar. It
takes little bit longer to can by
precooking, but the results are worth
the effort.
Jars should be filed to within "
inch of the top. If tightly packed up
to this point, fruit and berries will
rarely float after processing, and the
jars will have a much nicer appear
ance because they are full of fruit.
Making a Hot Water Bath.
A water bath Gamer may be
made from a wash boiler or any
other large deep vessel that has a
close fitting cover and is deep
enough to permit the jars to stand
upright and still have enough water
to come an inch or two above the
jars. This water should be kept
boiling during the entire processing
period. It should never be allowed
to boil away enough to come less
than l inch above the jars. If nec-
essary have a kettle of boiling wa
ter on the range, beside the water
bath, to replenish the supply in the
Gamer.
A rack which will hold the jars "
inch from the bottom of the kettle
is also essential. The jars should
be set wide enough apart to allow
for free circulation of water.

Since rationing began, fruits have
always carried high ration value,
and yet, they are essential and con-
venient to serve for breakfast,
luncheon and dinner. Fruits may
be canned with or without sugar, but
the fruit will mellow and ripen in
the jars much more satisfactorily if
a sugar syrup is used. With syrups
plentiful, part, usually half, of it is
sweetened with light or dark corn
syrup. Honey may be substituted
for one-haf the sugar, also. 1t will
darken the fruit and give it a some
what stronger flavor, but it is good.
Only fruits that are good in flavor,
uniformly ripened and firm in tex
ture should find their way to the
jar. Just as it is true of any other
canning and preserving, you get
only what you put into the can. Can
ming is designed for preserving the
fruit, not for improving poor quality
produce.
When large fruits such as peaches,
pears or apples are canned, they
require peeling and should be placed
in brine e teaspoons salt to / quart

turning dark while peeling.

ming fruit has been favorite among

LYNN SAYS

Fruit Canning Tips: Fruit
sometimes discolors at the top OF
the jar If the fruit is under-ripe
or when accurate processing
time or temperature is not
maintained. Discoloration of the
top layers of the fruit is caused
by oxidation which means that
air has not been expelled from
the jar by the heat Of processing.
If food is packed too solidly or
jars filed to overlooking instead
Of to within a half inch of the
top, some of the liquid may boil
out of the jars during process
ing.
Canning powders and preserva-
tives are not necessary in the
canning procedure.

they live and move with the
army, WORK with the vanguard
Of troops and cooperate with
guerillas. Immediately on the
capture of a town, they set up
temporary offices, open new
routes and penetrate enemy lines
to empty their mail pouches.
They eat, dress and live like SOL
diers, but 60 about their tasks
unarmed.
FOLLOW JUNGLE TRAIL
When the japanese invaded
Burma, in 1912, two military
post offices were compelled to
evacuate to India. They follow
ed a little-known track across
the Savage Mountains. Travel
ing on foot, they were threaten
ed by starvation, were beset by
poisonous insects and jungle
some essential office gear. Many
animals. They survived in cir
cumstances where many refug-
ees fell dead at the wayside. But
they reached India with pouch
es of important dispatches and
have made equally hazardous
trips, walking hundreds of miles
afoot through remote and often
enemy held territory.
In addition to the regular
army postmen, there are social
ed guerrilla postmen who work
in guerilla areas rather than at
the front. When Chinese towns
and cities are occupied, the reg
ular postoffices move into iso-
lated, nearby regions from
where they can handle the trans
mission of military dispatches,
spread war news, circulate legal
currency and attempt to keep
up the flow of letter mail across
the enemy lines.
Operating always under the
nose of the enemy, guerilla post
men are prepared to move their
offices at the first threat Of the
approach of the enemy. All
equipment and supplies, includ-
ing the safe, are kept in canvas
bags, ready for quick transpor-
tation. They work at night. The
crack of a rifle shot in the dark
has told of the fate of many such
postmen who attempted to sneak
through the enemy lines under
the cover of darkness.
POST OFFICES MOVE LAST
According to Chinese postal
