Economics Bureau Hints On Devices Given to bt canned In t.-.c home, there's food deal to be aald I m tin cans. They won't break, the; take up lew room In the canner than glass Jars, processing them takes less time, they can be plunged Into cold water aa soon aa they come from the processor so aa to stop the cooking at once. And there can be no loss of liquid during the processing, whereas with even the best handling of glass Jars, there is some loss. But tin cans cannot be used very successfully a second time. Use of tin cans means a sealing ma chine and a good, strongly bunt oue at that. (By U. Bureal of Rome Eronomtrs) Canning time la Just around the corner I The buffetlngs of lusty spring rains and the radiance of spring suns have prodded gardens Into luxurious growth. Over much of the country, asparagus, snap beans, pesa and the like are, or soon will be, coming on faster than the family and the neigh bors can eat them. Now Is the time to decide what and how much to can during this grow ing season to Insure a well balanced and varied diet the year around. Can ned foods are at their best the first year. So It's economy to can only what the family can use between now and next spring. And for economy of time a person doesn't want to wait until canning morning to get equipment ready. Pressure for Safety The ateam pressure canner is the apparatus which first need to be considered. It is an absolutely esaen-j tlal piece of equipment for safe can ning of non-acid foods. And non-acid foods Include all the vegetables ex cept tomatoes, rhubarb, ripe plmlen tos and pickled beets, and all the meats. "It make take alx hours or more at bollng temperature (313 degrees) to kill certain dangerous bacteria," reads bulletin 1762 on "Home Canning of Prults, Vegetables and Meats." writ ten by specialists In the bureau of home economics in Washington. But at 340 degrees in the steam pressure canner. they may be destroyed In SO minutes. Under home canning con ditions, without this steam pressure canner, many stubborn and danger ous bacteria may never be killed. Recent research on canning costs have shown that if fairly large quan tities of food are canned, special equipment such as the pressure cook er add very little to the cost per con tainer over the period of time dumg which it is used. Strong Canner Best Home economists consider 18 to ao quart capacity canners the most eco nomical sires for home use. As to material, either aluminum or steel Is satisfactory. It's Immaterial wether the top la held on by lugs, clamps or a strong band. The chief concern of the purchaser should be to get a strongly bult piece of equip ment, with the top held on tightly enough that there can be no leakage of steam. The top must of course be fitted with an air outlet or petcoek, a safety valve, and a pressure gage. The safety valve must be clean and in working order. Openings to the petcoek and the pressure gage also must be clean. The pressure gage it- self ought to be checked against a re liable master gage to see that It la registering accurately, for so long as the gage works properly the pound pressure Indicates the temperature Inside the kettle. Temperature and ateam pressure rise and fall together. When the temperature reaches SfiO degrees. P.. the gage should register IS pounds of pressure. When it's 240 degrees pressure should be 10 pounds. Tneee figures are for altitudes up to 3000 feet. For each adltlonal 3000 feet, an other pound of pressure should be added for those temperatures. If the pressure gage is more than 3 pounds off, the best thing to do Is have a new gage put in. Satisfied with the safety valve and pressure gage, you might examine the surfaces which form the closure be tween the pot and the cover to see that they are clean and smooth. You can t expect the cover to stick tight ly to the pot If the edges are dirty or surfaces rough. Abrasives snould never be used to clean these edges, for fear of making them rough. Use care, too. not to dent them. Container Check Urged Canning containers are the next group to mobilize for canning opera tions. If you use glass Jars, you'll want to take a census of your empty ones, to find out how many are avail able, how many news ones you'll need to buy. If they are the lightning-type mod ified msson Jars, you'll need to test each wire clsmp to. see that it Is tight. You can essily slip the wire out and tighten It by pressing down the middle with your thumbs, then snap it bsck Into place. If you have the automatic-, self-. or vacuum-sealing type of Jar, that may mean new rubber ringa or caps with new gasketa. When large quantities of food are RUSSIANS SOFT PEDAL ill MOSCOW, May 14 (AP) Russians learned Thursday of the coronation of King George VI In London thiu a brief dispatch of 150 words ot Pravda. the only newspaper printed on the day following a free day, or day of rest.

IN BRITAIN SENDS LIVING COSTS OP Food Is Rising Rapidly in Price With Clothing to Follow As Government's Demands Drain Supplies LONDON (UP) Great Britain's rearmament program la bringing a rapid rise In the cost of living, a . Pood prices are rising rapidly, and , boots, shoes, furniture, clothes and most of the necessities of life are expected to go up. In some ca&es by as much as a third, as present stocks are exhausted. ! There will be a sharp rise in many prices toward the end of June. The cost of living Index will make an up ward curve. Everything metal, from pins to frying pans, and even wire less aerials, Is already dearer. Clothing and equipment for the army, metal and other raw material for guns, planes and tanks, have fornvd a heavy drain on supplies. As the arms program la carried out, the drain will increase, and prices will continue to leap upward. The full effect has not yet been realised, for buyers for largo stores, and mid dlemen, were Instructed to give heavy orders for certain classes of -goods as soon as the arms program was an nounced. Tobarco Also Included Tobacco, cigarettes, cinemas and other luxuries will become dearer as their prices are forced upward In sympathy with those of basic com modities. Briefly, the rearmament will mean a return during peace to almost war-' time price levels, with consequent hardship for millions of families. Of t he 11,1 87,000 Insured persons in work, and the thousands t others outside the scope ot the Insurance acts, only between 1,250,000 and 1.500,000 wage earners, representing, ! with their families, 4.000.000 persom. ! aave wages governed by collective ' &tjwmenta or orders under the trade ' board acts, which fluctuate with the 1 cost of living index. And their wage : variations lag behind the rise in i prices. j Trices Up 12 Percent 1 51nee 1936 the wholesale price of I food In Britain has risen 13 percent.! The pound Is now worth to the i housewife only 17 shillings and six- I pence, by the standards of a year ' ago.

As a result of the arms demand on metals, aluminum wear pots, pans and kettles has already been In creased In price to the public by 10 percent. Tinned and Iron wares are up by 33 percent and enamel by 20 percent. Purther Increases In the price of these articles will soon be made. For a few woolen articles, such as sports shirts, prices to the public are up by 5 percent, but the real increase admittedly is to come. Wholesalers are now asking 10 to 12 percent more for dyed cotton goods, and 5 percent more for rough cotton goods, such as mops. The Increupd price will be passed on to the public next month.
