over half a century ai;o, may
be succeeded generally by a

"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.

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.

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

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

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.
