HOME CANltiXt* Of PISH AN©
MEATS
Home canning of fish and. moats
should' engage the attention of
housewives during the summer,
according to the Department of Ag
riculture. it ia not enough to
make jellies, Jams, and ketchups in.
accordance with long established
customs, for new methods of con
serving food extend the scope of pos
sibilities in preventing waste.
"Home canning of fruits and
vegetables has become so wide
spread' that it is quite natural the
next step should be the home
canning of fish and meats," said
Frants P. Lund, specailist On home
canning of meats and sea foods, Un
ited .States ©Department of Agricul
ture. "It is possible not only to
avoid waste, but also to utilize meat
scraps and soup bones. With a
supply of canned meats the house
wife can prepare and serve a palat
able mea-1 on short notice with a
saving of both fuel and time. ~~ It
also makes possible a more varied
d«iet, lessening the dependence upon
cured, salted, and smoked meats."
Mr. Lund advocates the steam
pressure canner. He says that as
it is difficult to keep fresh meat on
the farm without a refrigerator or
an ice supply the importance of
canning becomes evident, especially
as the curing of meats is also diffi
cult <n certain ergions, as for ex->
ample, in the extreme south.
To all interested' wish to ex- J
press our pleasure at having had
the opportunity of representing1
Skagway Branch, at the recent con
ference of Red Cross workers at
Juneau. ' * "
Wo received instructions in all
lines of Red Cross work from work
ers. who had just returned from a
Red Cross conference in Seattle.
Our parent chapter is proud' of
the Skagway Branch, as their rec
ords show that all our shipments
to Seattle have passed inspection
with hsih ratings; the surgical dresa
igng being reported as perfect. We
found however, that there are mis
takes and irregularities in pads
recently made due to inexplicit in
structions. Fortunately these
dressings are still on our shelves
and with a little work can he remade
without loss of material. The knit
goods now on hand', with the excel)
ton of a few pairs of socks, m eet
all requirements. These socks can
be repaired before shipment is madf4
thus keeping our shipments up to
the high standard already establish
ed by this Branch.
We were proud to De ut>le to as
sure Juneau of the harmonious feel
ing existing in the work rooms.
I*et our R. C. continue to radiate
Patriotism, Obedience and Discipline,
thus making it true here as has
been said "That in this war wo
men are to be considered the second
:ine trench-es."
Thanking you,
Mrs. F. J, Weber,

SAW WAITS HORROR
English Lady Writes of Experi
ences in Roumanla.
Veritable inferno When Oil Fields
Were Destroyed—Russian Soldiers
Pillage While Their Comman
der Is Occupied Elsewhere.
I had not thought that we could pos
sibly enter Into a new phase of horror,
but It wus born on Boxing day, when
the first whispers reached us of the
destruction of the oil fields. Frankly,
we had, each and every one of us, com
pletely forgotten the oil I A mau, a
friend of ours, drove up In a motor,
streaked with grime, weary and dead
to the world. After lunch he started
to tell his story, fortified by . a big
cigar. ;
He had been one of a party who
went out alone to the petrol city to
destroy. No one would give them
help, and he told us wonderful ac
counts of the scenes which he had wit
nessed. The first step hod been to
capture every single man and boy who
knew anything about the petrol plans
and deport them bodily to Moldavln,
so that the Germans should find no
skilled workmen to utilize to their
own profit. And then a few pairs of
hands sufficed to crumble and lay In
ashes what many hundreds of brains
had worked to build. First they broke
np all the machinery—the bow of the
happening is Immaterial; the most
primitive and brutal weapons; served
them best. Then they poured benzine
from the roofs of factories down their
walls nnd set them alight, they duz
trenches round the vats and started
bluzlng channels of flam" toward the
reservoirs. These blew up each In turn,
and soot and llames wade of what had
been sunlight an eternal night where
the fire king went mad. Town by town
saw the destroyers come to let hell
loose, and factory after factory writh
ed In a death agony of twisted Iron to
lend je's of poison fumes after th»
four small flying motor cars. The de
vastation left by a retreating army lay
before them, turmoil of an enemy
drunk with success stirred In the wind
gusts that fed the flames from the
south. Ore can hardly credit the fact
that those few little men have so ef
fectually nccompll'-'iod what they set
out to do that It will be six months be
fore the Germans can squeeze a drop
of petrol from the saturated earth.
In our Krurltsh hospital there Is n
man who lias had his foot amputated.
He lay pinned under a burning ear. A
hatchet was broiMriit hv a doctor to a
French officer standing near, and the
doctor said : "Do it If you can : I have
no instruments and feel paralyzed."
i The Frenchman did the thing in the
whole horror of the sunlight, whilst
the Russian privates who were his
charges took advantage of the oppor
tunity and pillaged private passenger
luggage on the train!—Lady Kennard

ALL BROTHER HAD NOTlCtD
| Fathir Need Not Have Worried Over
j Possible Bad Effect of Movies '
on Little Son.
After oil, ifs hard to figure out cor
rectly the effect rt' tiic movies on the
child mind. It happened that mothei
and sister had gone to a concert and ll
was up to father to entertain little
brother, uge seven. Father likes the
movies—some of theui—so he thought
that would serve the purpose. 01
course you can not tell much about f
film by the name or by the pictures
out in front .either for that matter
But father likes pictures of westeri
life and he thought the horses auc
mountains might please brother. 5c
when he saw t'ie poster of a cowboy
In they went. ••
It wasn't a very good sort of picture
as to theme, for It presented a ruth
less outlaw and hla gang of robbers
When a wagon train of gold seekers
came across the desert be not only re
fused to give them water, but drove
them off to perish of thirst on the
desert. And there also was a dance
hall scene in the West. Father hac
some misgivings as to his choice o(
movie and wondered whether, at lti
close, his son would elect to be the
bold, bad bandit or the vice-enmeshec
owner of the dance hall and gainbliii{
hell. He suid nothing but anxious)}
awaited the verdict.
When "The End" came, brothei
whispered:
"Daddy, do you know who the cow
boy looks like?" • r
"No. brother. Who?"
"Our milkman," was the reply.
Dog's Death Led to 8ulclde.
Mrs. Margaret Dugdale, wife o
Norman Dugilale. J. P., of Duttoi
Munor, neur Blackburn, was fouui
dead with a bullet wound in her fore
head in a field neur the grave of he
favorite dog, which had been de
stroyed on account of old age. De
presslon ^caused by its loss was sug
gested at the inquest as the cause o
her suicide. • says Lloyd's News, Lon
don. When found she was grasping i
humane cattle killer, at her feet wa'
a mallet with which she had dis
charged the weapon, and a loaded re
volver was in a basket near her. Shi
had fixed a mirror to the fence, an(
a note pinned to her dress gave direc
tlons for the disposal of her body
Mr. Dugdale said he thought the dog'i
death, which his wife had taken great
)y to heart, _was the cause of thi
tragedy, and the Jury's verdict wa:
that Mrs. Dugdale shot herself wblli
of unsound mind.

PART OF SUN'S ECLIPSE
VIEWED BY SKAGWAYAK8
About two o'clock this afternoon
the total eclipse of the sun ached- .
uled for the south central portion
of the United States wag partially
viable here and many of tths peo
ple went about with small pieces of
smoked glass Uirough, which they
would take a peep at Old Sol ever
and anon.
We wonder If he was ashamed of
the frightful atrocities being per
petrated by the d'espised Huhb and
was trying to hide his face.
