HOT - The won derful gyroscope, which revo lutionized navigation a little over half a century ai;o, may be succeeded generally by a new marvel of solid state physics powered by a ruby laser, inventor-industrialist J. J. Mascuch said recently. Mascuch is president of Breeze Corporations and he is the inventor of the shielding thai made the use of airplane radios possible back in the 100's, of practical armor for the cockpits in fighting planes and of many other devices. But he is convinced the new CANNING SUGGESTIONS Few kitchen satisfactions com pare with "putting up" pale golden peaches and plums that are coming to market in profusion. Suggested ways arc piced peaches, preserves, peach and plum conserve and jelly for pleasure-giving In the months to come. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Patch, Plum Seasons Moans "Putting Up" Luscious Fruit Peaches, pale, gold and beautiful - and plums, purple and gold fill fruit stands; prove irresistible to home can ners and freezers who take pleasure in indulging their families in taste treats not to be found on grocers shelves. When putting up fruit of any kind, It is vital that you (1) get ready everything need ed and make syrup before preparing fruit (it's not a good idea to keep peaches waiting); (2) use fully ripe but firm ' fruit; (3) handle with tender care to prevent bruising or fraying the. fragile flesh; (4) prepare no more than enough for one good batch according to directions given by the professionals. Again we suggest that you talk over plans with favorite fruit man in produce depart ment if you're buying fruit by the lug; suggest that you plan to "put it up", the same morning for the perfection you hope to achieve. 8plced Poachoi Hit Many Virtues Nearly all good home can- ners put up pickled peaches but you re overlooking a good bet if you haven't tried some lightly spiced ones. They re not the same as pickles. Spiced peaches are a real con venience food, especially for hurry-up desserts. You may serve them cold with cream or put them In an ovenware dish, dot with but ter, sprinkle with sugar and lip under the broiler until they are hot and have a few brown freckles. Serve with or without cream. You might try them in old-fashioned peach dumplings. When you do this, add a little tapioca or corn starch to thicken the syrup to use as a sauce for the dumplings. To Mak Medium Syrup. First make the syrup In de Sired quantity. You'll get about 5j cups medium syrup from this. Use three cups su gar, four cups water, one-half teaspoon each whole cloves and whole allspice, about ono Ihlrd of a nutmeg (crack it with a hammer) and a couple of sticks of cinnamon. Tie the pices in a piece of cloth. Add to sugar and water. Let boil until sugar dissolves. Leave pice "bag'' until syrup has pleasant flavor. Just before using syrup, remove bag and bring syrup to boil. You may, If you like, omit the cinnamon from syrup and put a piece in each Jar. Figure on three fourths to one cup syrup per pint. To Can Spiced Peaches. Wash, rinse, drain, scald and peel firm-ripe peaches. Do not remove pits. Pack peaches to within one-half inch of top of the jar. If you use the new can or freeze Jars, you'll have no trouble removing t h e peaches. Cover peaches with boiling hot syrup. Tut dome lid on Jar; screw lid tiht. Process pints or quarts 2S minutes in a boiling water bath canncr. Golden Peach Mermelade Treti To peel peaches easily, place In wire basket or cheeje eloth square.

Put each cut-up fruit through food chopper, using coarse knife. Measure eight cups peach pulp, two cups orange pulp and rind into ket tle; add sugar and whole spices tied in bag. Combine ingredients; bring to rolling boil; cook until thick, about 40 minutes, stir ring often. Take. off heat; re move spice bag; skim. Pour into hot, sterilized jars; seal at once. Makes about six pints Peach and Plum Conserve Deluxe 1V4 cups water Wash, rinse and cut fruit into small pieces without re moving pit or peel. Add 1 '2 cups water. Cook 10 minutes or until fruit is soft. Put fruit and its juice in Jelly bag or pour onto cotton flannel cloth tied over top of pan or bowl. Squeeze out juice. If you want the clearest possible jelly, let juice drip through cloth without squeezing. Mea sure sugar and set aside. Measure Juice into large (four to six quart) kettle. Add pectin. Set kettle over high heat. Stir until mixture reaches fast bubbling boil. Add sugar; stir. Bring to fastest possible boil (that means one you can't slow down by stirring). Let boil exactly one minute; remove from heal. Quickly skim off foam and pour hot jelly to wilhin one-eighth inch of the lop of tapered half-pint fruit j.irs. Put dome lid on jar; screw band tight. Should (ill six or seven half-pints. This combination of flavors using plentiful peaches and plentiful plums makes a con serve that is excellent with meats, wonderful with hot breads of any kind. 4 cups chopped peaches 4 cups pitted plums i tcBspoon salt 3 cup seedless raisins 1 lemon 7 cups sugar '4 cup shredded almonds f4 teaspoon each cloves, cinnamon and mace Wash and drain f mil; peel, pit, coarsely chop and mea sure peaches and plums.

Quickly skim off foam and pour hot conserve to within one-eighth inch of top of tapered half-pint fruit jars Put dome lid on jar; screw band tight. Should fill six or seven half-pints. Peach and Plum Jelly Pure peach jelly is weak in flavor. Add plums and the flavor will be delicate but de licious. The color will range from pale gold lo deep red de pending upon the plums. 4' cups fruit juice from about 3 pounds peaches and 2 pounds plums fi cups sugar 1 box powdered fruit pectin Pickle Go-Togelhers Are Many; Add Zest We can't help thinking th.it Peter Piper would be in quite a tizzy could he see today's variety of pickles done up in iars for eating with practical ly everything except straw berry shortcake. Actually there's no set rule as to which pickle to serve with what dish but lo our way of thinking, here are some very good combinations for your consideration. Serve sweet mixed pickles wilh roast beef, pork or lamb. Enjoy sweel pickle relish or India relish with fried fish as well as frankfurters. Sweel gherkins are won derful with cheese souffle, ! broiled lamb chops, curried I I veal. A bowl of mustard pickle is all you need to turn baked beans and wieners or pot roast into gala fare. Serve dills with braunsch wcigcr. tongue, corned beef, pork, Swiss cheese, meat loaf, sardines. Apricot Roll-Ups Roll thin strips of boiled ham around fresh ripe apri cot wedces, secure them with toothpicks and stick a stuffed nlived on the end of each. Pretty as nn hors d'oeuvre should be. device he calls the electron ballistic accclerometer, which still is in a strictly experimen tal stage, will be the triumph of his career. Gyroscopes are a $1 billion a year business. Mascuch thinks his new accclerometer might replace or eliminate the gyroscope In virtually every application and can start by eliminating it from the inertia! guidance systems used in missiles and space vehicles. Mascuch and his engineer- ing and scientific team have been working on the electron ballistic accelerometer for some years. The theoretical work is finished and the pro ject now is being evaluated by the National Space and Aeronautics Administration. They started before the devel opment of the laser - the marvelous little solid stale de vice that concentrates and harnesses the power of light. "The laser enormously en larged the possibilities of the electron accelerometer," Mas cuch explained. An inertial system guides a missile or space vehicle by making it totally independent of weather, magnetic fields, radio or reference points in land and space. Conventional System The conventional Inertial guidance system consists of an accelerometer which mea sures changes in pitch, yaw and four other motions and relays the signals to a com puter not much bigger than a cigarette package - and a gyroscope. The computer makes the corrections and puts the vehi cle back on course. Because the ordinary accel erometer can't tell the differ ence between the pull of gravity and the other forces of motion the missile is sub ject to, it has to be mounted on a stable platform. The function of the gyroscope is to keep the platform stable -with its plane always at right angles to force of gravity. "The electron accelerometer is so little influenced by grav ity that gravity can be ig nored," Mascuch said. "That means the gyroscope can be eliminated from the system. This will mean tremendous savings in costs and great im provement in reliability. Mar velous as it is, the gyroscope is subject to unpredictable failure because of tempera ture changes or many other reasons, and the common ac celerometer, with is moving pendulum mounted on a plat form kept stable by gyro scope, is not nearly so re liable in measuring drift pitch, yaw or other change as our electron accelerometer, with no moving parts, will be." For use in inertal guidance systems for missiles, the elec tron ballistic accelerometer will have to be powered by a ruby laser working at cryo genic temperatures - more than 200 degrees below zero. Such a laser can be made be cause the physics already is understood, Mascuch said. But for hundreds of other purposes the electron accel erometer can operate at or dinary temperatures, he said. "It can eliminate the gyro scope in guidance for ordin ary airliners at big savings in cost and I believe it can make navigating the planes easier even in storm conditions,'' he said. "It will be extremely bene ficial for submarine naviga tion in an inertial system and for submarine detection in a directional signal system," he said. - '."Si.
