"You're going here?" she gasped.
"I'll have to pick up my schedule
again."
"You're- going—when?"
"In a day or two ,oda,'` he replied.
`'You see—it's necessary for me to
desert you."
"'Monte!"
"The law demands the matter of six.
months' absence—perhaps a lithe
longer. I'll have this: looked up and,
will notify you. Desertion,` is an.
ugly word; but, after. all, it sounds;,
better than cruel and abusivetreat-
ment."
"It's .I who deserted," she said,
He waved the argument aside.
"Anyway, it's only a technicality.
The point is that I must show the 4
world that -that we did not mean'
what we said.: -So I'll go on to Eng-
land."

Certainly they should not be wasted.
The open -kettle method of canning
should be used only for tomatoes and
fruits. The cold -pack -method can be
used for all fruits, and for most vege-
tables, provided enough time is given
to processing.
The water bath, using the wash
boiler with the false bottom, is the
most convenient inethod for the cold -

in -an emergency the oven may well be

The generation of electricity by
means of the sun's rays, tides and
the wind is quite possible mechani.cal-

able intermittently, extensive methods
of storage are necessary. Againe

cost of energy in the numerous trans-
formation steps necessary, would
make the cost of the relatively small
amount of power prohibitive'.
