conduct of the Complainant towards
the said James Raymond Blevins has
always been kind, affectionate and
above reproach, the said James Ray
mond Blevins has, without just cause
or reason, abandoned and deserted
her and has declared his intention to
live with her no longer, and that
such abandonment has continued I'M
interruptedly for at least eighteen
months, and is deliberate and final,

Company, glass Jar company with
headquarters at Muncie, Indiana, con-
siders it far from easy to persuade
the general public to adopt practices
and procedures which give satisfactory
results.
If you have never canned corn but
want to this season because of ration
ing, or if you have tried and failed,
you may profit by following Miss Kim
brough's advice. In an informal dis
cussion of the subject she said, Sweet
corn, particularly the deep yellow, is
rich in flavor and food value, but field
corn cans as we'll, keeps as well, as
the garden varieties and is the pref
erence of many persons who could, If
they chose, grow patch of sweet corn
for table use. So, take your choice but
don't pay your money unless you know
the corn is fresh from the stalk and
that it is at the most perfect stage for
table use At this stage the kernels
are plump, shiny, and all but bursting
with milk-like juice.
Can Corn Early
AS corn natures, the milk gives way
to a substance called dough. Then
people say the corn is too hard and
they say right because it is hard to
keep it by canning once it has passed
from the full milk to the dough stage.
Bacteria, particularly those which
cause fiat sour, like warm corn. This is
one big reason why 1t doesn't pay to
gather, prepare, and can corn by the
wagon load" Flavor is another good
reason for the can-a-little-a time
rule. Corn loses its sweetness more
rapidly than any other vegetable with
the possible exception of green peas.
This fact, plus bacteria's special lik-
ing for corn which has stood several
hours, explains the wisdom of the old
slogan, 1.-TWO hours from garden to cam
nef."
fars, caps, lids, rubbers, Gamer and
all other utensils needed should be
ready for use when the corn is brought
in for canning.
1t is a waste of time, energy, and
food to put anything in jar which
can't be sealed alright. The smallest
nick or crack can cause trouble, so
smart home Gamers take time to ex-
anime the sealing surface of every jar
and lid. Jars, caps, glass lids and
rubbers should be washed in warm
soapy water, rinsed, covered with
warm water and then boiled. One can't
be too clean about canning. Used jars,
caps, and lids should be boiled 20 to
so minutes. New ones need only be
brought to boiling and kept hot.
Any jar, cap, lid, and rubber worth
using is worth using by the manufac-
turer's instructions. Such instructions
are given on circular packed with
the Jars and printed on the cap car
tons.
Two sharp knives are needed-one

small, one large And you will want
a cutting board A well scrubbed plank
will do if you have nothing better.
When everything is ready lay an ear
of corn on the board, then use the
strong knife to cut through husks, corn
and cob at each end of the ear. Next
stand the ear upright and use both
hands to peel off the husks. If eased
along with the thumbs, most Of the silks
will come off with the wrappings. This
method may sound troublesome, but
after you get the hang of it you will
find the work goes faster and with
much less muss than when the husking
Is done in the usual way.
Discard any ear of corn which seems
a bit hard. Rinse and drain the corn
after it has been freed Of silks, then
cut-don't saw-the kernels from the
cob, taking care not to cut the cob.
This is where you need that small
sharp knife.
The danger of spoilage is far less
when whole kernels are used. Cream
style is made by slicing the tips of the
kernels and then scraping out the pulp.
It is folly to can cream style unless
one has steam pressure cooker with
an accurate gauge.
Pint size jars are best for any kind
of corn and practically a must for
cream style, because heat passes
through corn slowly.
It doesn't do to keep corn waiting its
turn in the Gamer. If you happen to
have some left over because of faulty
judgment in estimating the amount
needed to fill the jars, put 1t In the
refrigerator to keep cool until the next
batch can go into the Gamer.
Adding Water Essential
Be sure to add one and one-quarter
cup boiling water to each four cups OF
whole kernel corn and two cups Of boil
ing water to each four Of cream style.
The water is needed to help the heat
get through the corn in hurry and to
prevent the corn turning brown.
That brown color and overlooked flavor
you dislike is caused by caramelization
of the corn sugar. This doesn't hap
pen when the corn is young and juicy,
enough water Is used, and the process
ing done at the right temperature.
Most persons like about one-hah tea
spoon of salt to each pint of corn. A
little sugar won't hurt anything, nor
will it hurt if you forget the salt. The
amount used is too small to help pre-
vent spoilage.
Some persons manage to can corn by
processing it three and half to four
hours in a hot-water bath Gamer but
it is far better to use steam pressure
cooker provided it is in the right work
ing order and worked right. That last
right means Follow the Manufae-
turer's Instructions!

Rome il. The first enlisted WAC to

phone operator - S/Sgt. Ella G..
Wright, formerly with the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph Company at
Longview, Washington. In Rome
ceremony, Sgt. Wright was so hon
ored because of her work in directing
the operation of the switchboard at
allied headquarters in North Africa
and Italy.
Guam Guam, which had 500
magnetic telephones before the war,

Men from all branches of the service
participated in the project.
Leyte The first U. S. flag to
be raised on Leyte was put in place
on a palm tree trunk by former
telephone lineman. Wearing climbing
spikes, Private Austin Holder, with
Old Glory tied around his waist, sour
ried up the tropical flagpole amid the
rousing cheers of his mates but also
amid enemy bullets, and secured the
Stars and Stripes once more over
Philippine soil.
Rome +. The first resumption Of
a Bell System overseas telephone
service, interrupted by World War II,
took place recently when service be-
tween the United States and Italy
was restored by the reopening of the
direct New York-Rome radiotelephone
circuit. Initially, calls will be limited
to those of governmental departments
and agencies, and the press. A mis-
take which led the Germans to blow
up the wrong equipment shortened by
several months the delay in restoring
the service. Before their withdrawal
from Rome, the Germans sent demo-
lition forces to the overseas radio
station near there to destroy the
equipment. However, by a fortunate
blunder, they wrecked only obsolete
apparatus.

ITO a large degree silver has al
ready been remonetized in the east
and the trend of evolution in the
near future points towards it's par
tial reconciliation also in the
west" the News said
THE decline of the gold reserve
of the United States has led to
prospects that additional currency
will be issued against three million
ounces of silver" as a modest be-
ginning" which may be followed by
arrangements overing larger
amounts.
"In Europe's liberated countries,
too, there may be a good demand
for silver currency" the News con-
tinued. "The price of gold has
reached prohibitive levels in black
markets and the available gold sup
ply even at such high prices is
limited
Amid prevailing uncertainty and
distrust, silver coins would be re-
garded as second best to gold coins
and their issue would go some way
to meet currency difficulties in con-
tinental countries"
Through the east and middle east,
there is Unsuitable demand for
silver as an alternative to gold" the
paper added.
ut seems reasonable to expect a
revival of the monetary use of silver
during the next few years." it said,
but predicted that sit seems unlike
ly that any return to monetary use
of silver would lead in many coun-
tries to adoption of bi-metalism
proper by way of a fixed ration
between gold and silver"
Without free convertibility of
notes into gold and silver, "the gold
silver parity would be largely
theoretical" the newspaper ex-
planned. at would amount simply
to the fixing of prices at which
authorities may or may not buy and

New Car Prices
To Be Greater

Look for an added ante" of 25
per cent on the cost of new model
automobiles.
This was the studied opinion of
c. K. Whitaker, president of the
Studebaker Pacific Corporation
and vice president of the parent
company. who spoke at a luncheon
recently in Los Angeles.
Whitaker pointed. out that this
increased cost price in the models
which are now being prepared for
assembly lines will not cover the
increase in material and labor. He
estimated that it would take a
30 per cent increase to cover these
additional items.
But the industry will take the
loss in a gamble that it can reduce
prices by increased tooling eff
cheney and expansion" he told his
listeners. within Is years we eX-

labeled as an expensive failure.
Scheduled to be driven II, 900 feet
beneath mines that have thus far
produced more than $500,000, 900
in metals, the tunnel is now in only
a little more than $500 feet and the
original appropriation of 81, 100000
is reported nearly exhausted.
Failure of the project is ascribed
TO a decision to drive the bore too
near the surface, through an area of
broken sedimentary rocks, rather
than deeper, through granite.
Though the tunnel is still far from
its objective, beneath the former
bonanza mines of the district, tun-
mel crews are fighting water flows
of 5000 gallons minute. Had the
tunnel been driven in the granite,
no water would have been encoun-
tered, according to critics.
In charge of the project since its
inception have been representa-
tives of the department of the in
terror. Their decision to drive the
tunnel through the sedimentary
rocks is reported to have been in
fluenced by their belief that by so
doing, it might be possible to COM
plete the tunnel in so short time
as to make possible quick reopening
of the flooded mines, to produce
metals needed in the war effort.

October meeting Of the Dupont
Circle Citizens Association yesterday
at the Mayflower Hotel.
In introducing the resolution, Mrs.

need for Child Care Centers is still
great as many mothers of service
men now overseas must work and
have no place to leave their chill
dren."
Col. Hugh Miller, president of the
organization, submitted a plan to
the group outlining proposed means
of reorganization OF the District
government. The plan, which was
unanimously passed by the meeting,
provides for a joint committee of
the House and Senate, a city man
ager with three commissioners to be
selected by the joint committee from
preferential list Of at least II Dis
trict citizens selected by a general
vote, and a budget composed of
capital and an operating divisions to
each of which the Federal Govern
ment would pay its share.
