For Women:

Being modern about jellymak-

making for our teenagers. Be
cause, now, there are not only ex-

rections for making jelly, but
there are products designed to
make the process just about fool
proof.
For instance, there's powdered
fruit pectin which has been de-
veloped TO assure a perfect jelly
set" and its use cuts down the
boiling time to two minutes" The
advantages Of this are double:
modern girls don't have the time
to spend hours watching over a
boiling kettle as their grand
mothers did: while the shorter
time Of cooking, the more flavor
is conserved.
The recipe here is also OF inter

Mann Stocks Up Zoo
In Rockville Horse I rodes

Zoo Director william M. Mann
went shopping for exotic speci-
ments in, Of all places. Rockville,
Md. He found them, too.
Montgomery Countys animal
reputation usually centers on the
up-county dairy herds. But the
county seat has first rank
game dealer who supplies not
only DR.. Mann's park but ZOOS
all over the country.
Lowry Riggs runs the business
at FOL Stonestreet avenue. He
recently bought an 80-acre farm
at Jamestown and plans to ex-
pand the animal industry there.
Mr.. Riggs deals in all manner
of beasts. He deposits his larger
chattels in various ZOOS until
they are sold. The smaller ones
he keeps in Rockville and DR..
Mann's purchases involved wee
things.
A visitor asked him how a
Rockville man happened to be
dealing in wild game.
Becomes Trader
DIR. Mann is responsible for
It," he replied. when I was a
boy I had a bunch of little BAN
tam hens. I snapped them to
a dealer in Texas by mail for a
mess of rattlesnakes. I had
never seen rattlers. When the
snakes got here l was SO damn
scared of them I took them to
DR.. Mann and traded them to
him for some monkeys. That's
how got into business"
Mr.. Riggs has overcome the
SqueamishneSs about reptiles
His deals here have furnished
the Zoo with one of its big croc-
odiles.
DR.. Mann told companions en-
route to Rockville that he was
fond Of Mr.. Riggs. The Zoo head
was a friend of the dealers late
parents. But. confronting his
protege to negotiate for a sale,
DR.. Mann affected the manner
Of a respectable citizen meeting
q pickpocket.
II had to leave you and that
Baltimore bird man when you
were talking yesterday" he said
Il thought If I listened to you
two dealers tell any more lies
I'd get sick to my stomach"
The two quickly arranged a
transfer whereby the Zoo &C
quired a pair Of jacana, small
birds with astonishingly big
feet. Jacana need the over
sized foundations because they
walk on water lilies.
Orioles and TOads
DR.. Mann also selected brace
of yellow-head orioles without
much dickering. Then he picked
out pair Of Surinam toads. The
toads have strange maternity
habits. The female lays the eggs
then the male imbeds them in
the females spongy back. where
the eggs eventually hatch.
(The Zoo director acted
non-committal about the toads
until he got outdoors. Then he
told his companions they're
