It's a good idea to cook fruits and
berries slightly before adding the
sugar to give the pectin substance
a chance to develop.
F Y O U 'R E dressing the small fry
these days, you’ll be delighted
with all the new tricks designers
have put Into their clothing to make
them easier to get on, to take off
and, best of all, to wear.
Many new fabrics are on the
market, and we have come a long
way from the pale pink and blues
that used to be standard stock in
colors for the younger set. Your
little son may look better in a dusty
pink, yellow or aqua than in robin's
egg blue. As long as the clothing
is mannishly styled, as it is now
for the wee young man, let him
wear the color most suitable.
Little girls may wear pink very
well, but you'll see them decked out
in bright red, royal blue or navy,
and aqua as well as yellow, but
the clothes are feminine.

Berries, which are making
their appearance now, should be
converted into jams and Jellies

process 15 minutes at simmering
(in hot water bath).
If you’re making watermelon rind
preserves, do so at the early part
of the season for the rind is thicker
on watermelon.
Watermelon Rind Preserves
2 pounds watermelon rind
1 tablespoon ground ginger
4 cups sugar
2 lemons
2 quarts of water
Cut off all green peel and pink
part. Then cut rind into one-inch
squares. Soak two to three hours
in lime water. Freshen in two or
three more changes of water. Sprin
kle ginger over rind. Cover with
water and boil one and a half hours.
Drain and drop into cool syrup
made with sugar, water and lemon
juice, of one lemon.
Boil gently
one hour. Add second lemon, sliced
thin. Continue boiling until the rind
is tender and the syrup thick. If
syrup gets too thick before rind is
tender add a little more water. Let
stand several hours. Pack into hot
jars, and process in a water bath
for 15 minutes at simmering tem
perature.

Jam is a highly concentrated mass
that w ill burn easily unless care Is
taken. Stir the mass from the bot
tom to prevent burning.
Cook
briskly but watch carefully. Don't
let it sim mer carelessly for hours
if you want to protect flavor and
color.
The best jam is made when you
do not add too much sugar. When
you are not using a commercial
pectin, the rule is three-quarters of
a pound of sugar to one pound of
fruit.

Choose Clothes That
Wear Well Longer
Ixxik for well knit, nicely stitched
garments. Members of the younger
set do not wear their clothing for a
long time since they outgrow it so
quickly, but you may have other
children or you may exchange it
with another mother. Even if you
do none of these things, at least the
clothing won’t look sleazy after a
few tubbings.
Corduroy and seersucker are two

Coats for both have large hems or
sleeves that can be made longer.
They cost a bit more but they are
worth i t
Pants for little boys also have
there features and are extremely
practical.
There also are outfits
available that can be mixed, just as
with men's clothing. I f you have
just two sets of trousers and pants,
you can get more variety into the
wardrobe.
Don't buy oversized clothing for
toddlers.
They w ill stumble all

A R E YOU FO N D of unusual je l
lies? Here's an old-fashioned one
with a lovely and unusual delicate
flavor:
D O D G E V IL L E . MICH - T h e story
of seven barrels of t Iver abandoned
in an old mine near here is being
told and re-told sgain and is ex
pected to cause a silver rush any
day now
Seems that a group of miners in
the middle of the last century
wanted more pay The mine man
agement refused to grant them an
increase Having just neatly capped
seven barrels of silver, the miners
climbed out of their hole to continue
the argum ent
Negotiations continued for months
w rile the seven barrels of silver lay
in the mine shaft Finally, when
an agreement was reached the min-
eis discovered that the shafting had
weakened and they refused to enter
th? mine again The silver treasure
never was extricated.
Conservatively, the treasure is
estimated to be worth about $14.500.
Carlos Wenberg. graduate of Michi
gan College of Mining and Tech
nology, contends that the story is
true.

Hiyo Silver! Race to Old
M;ne Ready to Start Anew
For summer and early fall be
fore the weather gets cold, your
youngster should have a coat for
dress occasions. This is essential
for going to church as well as visit-
ing, when the destination is some
distance from home.
For the boys, there are three
piece corduroy sets which are prac
tical, consisting of overalls, cap
and coat. They may be worn to
gether or separately.
For the small girls, coats and
matching bonnets of eyelet or dot
ted swiss are excellent. Look for
bonnets that are made with an
elastic at the back so they w ill fit
properly for a longer period.
Overalls are another must be
cause most of the younger ones will
wear these most of the day while
they are out playing. Select a nice
sturdy m aterial like denim, cham-
bray, corduroy pr a good quality
broadcloth. You’ll like those with
gay padded animals placed at the
knees to prevent scuffs as well as
to give longer wear.
Choose clothing with large, easy
to fix buttons and holes so the
youngster can learn how to man
age dressing himself.
Sunsuits are among the more es
sential pieces. For the youngster
who is not yet trained, there are
very clever ones that have a plastic
lining which takes the place of rub
ber or plastic pants, as well as
keeping the suit from soiling.
It's best if sunsuits, too, are
chosen of sturdy m aterial. Those
