in removing jars when they are hot.

Lower jars into water, on rack, hav-

water boils hard. Add water during
boiling process if necessary. When
time is up lift jars out and complete
seal if necessary.
Canned Beans

Anniversary of
Oil Industry
On August 27th the pettoleum ine
dustry observed its eightieth anni-
versary, marking the day the first oil
well was struck by Col. Edwin L.
Drake in Titusville in 1859.
Compared with modern giants the
simple wooden structure erected by
Colonel Drake appears as a child -like
device built to satisfy the wistful
musings of imagination. Nevertheless
the Drake well, first commercial pro-
ducer in the United States, only 69.
feet deep, with a daily output of 20
barrels of oil. ranks as one of man-
kind's outstanding contributions to
humanity. It unleashed a tide Of
forces that have materially affected
the course of events. in this short
span of 80 years.
On August 27, 1859, no geyser
spread the countryeire with its gold-
en harvest, attracting the attention of
all who for months had scorned
"Drake's Folly." Instead, an assist-
ant noticed something in the well,
called Drake, who was wandering a-
roun.d somewhere near the scene of
operations, wondering where next to
get financial help for his project. A
plugged piece of lead tubing was
dropped in the hole, raised and oil
discovered.
'Drake Sold his holding in the orig-
inal well, during the boom that fol-
lowed, for a few thousand dollars.
This he soon lost 'in a short venture
as a Wall Street broker. He was
penniless when he passed on.
Eighty years ago the petroleum in-
.
dustry was very feeble. For almost
100 years the early steam engines
were lubricated with melted beef tal-
low and lard, or castor 'oil. Machines
operated 'by steam also used these
lubricants. Some tried whale oil,
olive oil or other negetable oils, but
to no avail. Poor lubrication was
.practically an unscalable obstacle.
Despite the excitement and antici-
pation which raged in Titusville at-
tea- the first well as brought,in, the
mysteries of the newly found fluid'
were yet to be explored. Simultan-
eously, illuminating oil and later, ker-
osene were made from it by crude
distillation. •
eixteei years kerosene rele-
gated the universally -used whale Oil
lamp to the attic. Then as the var-
ious lubricating properties of petro-
leum were uncovered, inventors of
machines and prime movers found
thermelves lagging behind. In fact
they were now taking their cues
from the 'new lubricants and 'design-
ing engines around the ability 'of the
0i1t to withotand greater loads and
higher heat and 'speeds, Once again
the machine age was on itti way.
in his 'announcements one Sunday
the clergeman regretted that motley
was not coming fast enough—but he
was no pessimist.
"We have tried," he said, "to raise
the necessary money in the usual
manner. We have tried honestly. Now
we are going to see what a bazaar

MEMORANDUM FROM
CZECHOSLOVAKIA
Arneric.ans, and tourists in gener-
al. are not wanted by the German
police in the Protectorate this sum -
ole!'. The people who live there are
giving them trouble enough. With a
(hundred thousand troops, a certain
number of which are constantly mov-
ing in and out of the teriitury, and
with all the equipment which made
the Czech al -my so effective an or-
ganization the Germans still have
their (hands full.
Trains moving between Vienna and
Pragu of between Dresden and
Prague have an unnatural appear-
ance. Tho number of soldiers aboard
them is one abnormality. Then the
passengers other than soldiers are
hand-picked by the Geottpo and they
don't. talk mach. They remember too
v ell hove theY waited three or four
hours in a line, perhaps at the Hotel
Metropole in Vienna, how they faced
the official in charge of passes for
the Protectorate, and how narrowly
they escaped the refusal which more
than nine out of every ten applicants
receive.
After crossing the frontier the at-
mosphere clears a little, for there
are still Czech border stations man-
ned by Czechs .and the Protectorate
is really a protectorate.
A few weeks ago when 1 went to
Prague, one of the leading hotels at
midnight had no single rooms unoc-
cupied- Realizing that tourists can't
enter the Protectorate and that the
hotel has more than 500 rooms, the
report seemed odld. "We've had a lot
of visitors lately," said tbe clerk,
smiling. Prague is full of -visitors"
who make a point of not wearing uni-
forms.
Eight o'clock in the morning. Roar-
ing down Vaclayske namesti (the
main street) German soldiers on mo-
toreyahss line up by the tram stop in
front of the National Museum. Three
to the motorcycle with dark -green
uniforms and steel belraets, they look
formidable. But they are young, in-
credibly young.
Phe crowd of Czech men anil wo-
men waiting for trams on their way
to work look much older. Withgrim
faces they stand arcand watching
these soldiers. Not a° person speaks
except the 'officer in their instructions,
he speaks softly as if not bo offend.
Phe silence is thick and threatening.
When a motorcycle sputters and
fails and the driver tries to fix it
and fumbles momentarily, the tension
visibly increases. The crowd is like
a man who succeeds int stifling a
'laugh but remains in constant dan-
ger of exploding.
Because the Germans realize how
deeply the Czechs feel, they are mak-
ing no mistakes; they are sitting
back, marking time, until. the fact
that there is a Protectorate causes

men in Wank and the SA men in
brewer, mix with the crowds. Since
Czech soldiers can stin wear their
khaki (although reverts have it that
this practice is to end soon), frequent-
ly uniformed men of the two armies
pees each other. The khaki (which
looks very raiser like the American
uniform) always seers to startle the
Germans. Possibly this is so because
their propaganda has hypnotired the
Germans into the belief that no army
exists but their own.
So far the Germans are bringing the
Protectorate under their control by
unusual subtlety. When" German
newsreels received nothing but hiss-
es from Czech movie audiences, the
authorities forbade them. To avoid
91101 lar demonstrations the customary
billboards and anti-Jewish signshave
not yet made an appearance. But to
remind the Czechs that Germany is
the boss, a tri -motored plane circles
constantly over the heart of the city.
Handling the Jewish problem in
Prague is certainly not going to be
easy. The history of the city is close-
ly bound up with the Jews. The old-
est building, for example, is the Old -
New synagogue dating from the 12th
century.
The Czech attitude bas changed. A
month ago the Czechs hissed any pic-
ture of 14itler. Now, when the news-
reel devoted several minutes to Hit-
ler's appearance at the Munich
Deutsche - Kunst celebration, they
made no response. Czech resentment
has gone underground.
"We're locked up now," said the
hotel clerk. "What does it matter to
us if a war ccrmes. We, have nothing
to fight with."
The smiling, confident young man
entered a large banking house staff
office. He stepped up to the man-
ager's de.sk.
"Good -thy, sir," he yodeled. "Has
your firm any call for a highly intelli-
