| FOR SOUP AS YOU LIKE CT - HOME' CAN ITi: The war years taught almost everybody something about . home canning. Because of the emergency, emphasis was placed on basic spoilage-preventing rules and on quantity rather than individuality. Now the time has come when more thought can be given to selecting, prepa-ang. seasoning, and canning foods as YOU, not someone else, may like them. Canning rules cannot be ignored, but standardization of navors ana seasonings nas no piai t « In the food preservation program of the homemaker who exlrcises the privilege of setting her own food standards. Naturally those stand ards should be high, furthermore the taste preferences of those who share the food must be considered. Take the matter of soup. Once you get the habit of using your own brand prepared and seasoned as you like it, you will never want any other. Nothing quite takes the place of a really wonderful home-made veg etable soup. Our favorite recipe for canning it contains no cabbage, no turnip, no onion, because we are like .G.I. Joe—we don’t like THAT canned soup taste and odor. But if that’s what you like, put the cab bage in, turnips too, but if they go In, other things might as well stay cut because these strong vegeta bles overpower ail the more delicate flavors. Howe' er. a slice or two of onion added when the soup is put on to heal for about "fifteen minutes f'T serving, gives a fresh out-of-the-gar den flavor. The Vegetable Mixture may be thinned with n il k or water before heated for set ring, but is much better when thinned with meat stock or broth. Vegetable soup gets along all right without a garnish, but if it is to be the mainstay of a lunch or supper, you might like a piece of toast covered with grated cheese floating in each bowl. Crackers or bread sticks are usually served with vegetable soup but our choice is midget corn pones, about two inches long, crusty and hot Gladys Kimbrough, editor of the famous Ball Blue Book of canning —Photo Courtesy Ball Bros. Co. and preservation recipes, gave us her favorite recipe for vegetable soup. It is: 5 quarts chopped tomatoes 2 quarts sliced okra or 2 quarts small green lima beans 2 quarts corn 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons ,salt Cook tomatoes until soft, then press through sieve to remove skin and seed. Add other ingredients and cook until thick. Pour into hot jars. Process 60 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. “Odds and Ends” Usable Miss Kimbrough also told us that many people like to put “all the odds and ends” they can find in the garden in the soup, and she thinks that’s all right if that’s the way one wants it. It seems that all you dc is: prepare the vegetables and boil them five or ten minutes with water to cover or with tomatoes which have been skinned and chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Pour boiling hot. into hot jars. Process for the lime required for the vege table (in the soup) requiring longest processing time. c Timely Hints By RUTH CURRENT Summer heat and humidity make special problems in clothing care for the housewife. Woolen or plastic hangers for clothes are better than wire or cardboard hangers. Wire hangers may rust in damp weather and leave stains on clothes; cardboard hangers be come limp. Leather gloves and pocketbooks stored in drawers often gather mildew in summer. To protect them, dry in the sun and air; then, wrap first in tissue paper, and then in waxed paper. Heat rots rubber and dries and weakens leather. Therefore, hot attics are poor places to store winter overshoes, rubbers and leather shoes. A cool dry place is recommended. Mud should be cleaned off shoes immediately, and never left to “dry on” and make a permanent stain on the leather.

Herbert Spaugh, D. D. «- -- The rising tide of sex crimes, throughout the country should be faced resolutely by all of us. Re cently, the horrible case of Suz anne Degnan was before us. This six-year-old girl was kidnapped, abused, then butchered. A seven teen-year-old university student has confessed to the crime. Coronet Magazine has a straightforward article on this in the August issue, “Sex Crimes: Their Cause and Cure.” This should be read by every parent, as the victims of these sex per verts are usually children and young people. The criminals them selves if not young, commenced their perverted career in their youth. It is high time that many par ents, “born thirty years too soon,” with a priggish and “hush-hush” attitude towards sex education, wake up to what is going on in this country, especially in our cities. Parent-teacher associations, t church and civic clubs should make this a matter of study. Re prints of the Coronet Magazine may be had in quantities by writ ing to Reprint Editor, Coronet Magazine, 919 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago 11, Illinois. During many years of counsel ing, speaking at young people’s conferences, and institutes on the family and home, I have been shocked to discover how many young people admit to having had oughly before wearing. Leather is weak when wet. Shoes worn damp may stretch out of shape. Umbrellas folded up when damp are likely to mildew. Leave them open to dry, then put away in a cool dry place. - ■ little or no sex instruction in the home or school. Coronet articles tells of one instance in the South which il lustrates this. “Recently in Atlanta, reports of teachers and classmates indicated that a group of high-school boys had been behaving peculiarly. In vestigation revealed that ten youngsters, from good and sub stantial families, had formed an obscene ‘cult.’ When the case reached juvenile court. Judge Garland Watkins bluntly declar ed: “Not a single mother or father of any of these boys had given them any instruction whatsoever . in matters of sex.’’ “The judge's statement is time ly and important, for the question of sex education is an integral part of the sex-crime problem.’’ It is high time that parents Wake up to the fact that if they do not arrange for their children to have proper sex instruction, they will secure it in back alleys and wash-rooms, and it will be the im proper kind. School boards should be encouraged to provide sex in struction in the school. But above all parents should wake up to the fact that the first job should be done at home.
