Large proportions of sugar are also

product an oversweet article, which
destroys the delicate' natural flavor
of the fruits. This ro not only un-
necessary, but also it has prevented
many person- from enjoying preserv-
ed fruit.
The canners realized this, and have
for years met this objection by using
less sugar. Sugar is not necessary
for the successful keeping of fruits,.
but it is used to make them palatable.
The intelligent use of sugar adds to
the appearance and taste of all canned
fruits. The many grades on the mar-
ket make it necessary for the house-
wife' to be sure to obtain a pure grade
of sugar. It is needless to say that it
must be cane sugar. Beet sugar con-
tains a larger percentage of acid and
does not give the same perfect results.
,It must be remembered that one cup-
ful of absolutely pure sugar will ac-
complisl: the work more successfully
. than one and a h:af cupfuls of sugar
of a lower -grade.
How to Start Canning

-ready,ond see that the lids are i0 per-

they should fit securely, and have
everything absolutely clean. Provide

In Order to Meet the Constant heavy t
Demands Made Upon
Airplanes.
To be trustworthy an airplane pro-
peller must be one of the Strongest
things in the world. Not only are
they subjected to gunfire but their
normal action makes heavy demands
on their strength. The very speed of
their revolutions tends to disrupt
them.
In a test run with propellers made
of wood which had•been dried to the
lowest pospible moisture content, or
bone-dry, as they say at the.aForest
Products laboratory -the ends of the
blades actually exuded sap wluyh was..
forced out by centrifugal uctiop.
Some air machine engines run at 1,-
;00 -revolutions a minute, and can be
geared up to 2,000.. An engine of this
power would use a nine foot six inch
propeller, and the speed of the blade
ends would beton the neighborhood of
1,600 miles an hour.
A goad thousands. of pounds of
,pressure per square inch are generat-
ed bg this action alone, says the
American Forestry - Magazine at .
,
\Vashintonal d propellers ro Hers have been
g P
known to split at the centre and fly
apart. Fven the smallest lack of bal-
ance between the two blades is very
serious, since the pull of one must
counterbalance that of the other.
In addition there is the gyroscopic
force which tends to keep the blades
rotating in the same plane. At high
,peed this force. is hard to overcome,
and the cross strains. it introduces
when there is a change of direction,
either up, down or sidewise, are enor-
mous. '
Wood Must Be Perfect.
Yet under conditions of modern
warfare. when an aviator has to "loop
the loop" or plunge, or ascend sharply
in man,tuvring_to Airing down or es-
cape from an enemy, the machine has
to meet and withstidld, these unusual
tests. 9 .'
Wool for ,airplane manufacture

articles there may be a slight margin
of imperfection, and this is recogniz-
ed in lumber grading rule,. In air-
planes. however, the safety of aviator
and army demands entire freedom
-from flaws.
Ev•m with'Sitka spruce,.the.favorite,.
wood for airplane construction, there
is difficulty in_obtainingthe eery .high--
est grades. The United States forest
nervier estimates• that only, 13 per
cent., approximately, is available \for
plane construction. A member of.the.
Curtiss firm is reported to have said
that only 167 board feet, on an aver-
age, goes into planes from each 1,000
beard feet -- -• -
The quantity of wood needed for
"ach plane varies, of course, with the
.ize of the machine; few of the pre
-ant-day types contain le<+ than 25f'
feet, and it may take 2 000 feet
in 'the rough to furnish • this
amount. One lumberman is making

Many persons in Germany can Kay,
"i consider myself just as necessary
to the welfare of the state as Wil-
helm." The war retards the.progress
of the nation and further. the Govern-
ment—not the people—gave its - as-
sent end started things. Why ehnuld
one be compelled to take a mere active
part than rulers, and why should one
stake more than they?
Love Turned To Hatred.
And now a girl pours out her heart
to her lover at the front, crying out,
against "this murdering," at•d.dec•lar- I
ing that her love for her country has
turned to hatred. She tells, too, of the
calling of the children to the colors:
Why must i always fear for the I
dear life of my sweetheart? 1' owe
love to my fatherland, but I meat ten
you that this love has changed into;
hatred, as we have learned that we
are only here to be destroyed.
Our dearest are on the front, sacri•
flced for the profit of the upper ten
thousand. And we must still have pat-
riotism!. Never will this be the rear
ith mt. It will not uphold me in my
s row. 1 feel only bitterness toward
the nil which stole my darling-/
