* A’PEACH that blushes is not always tender—so never pass snap Judgment when looking them over. A peach with a rosy blush may be a thing of beauty, but unless the background color has also changed from its original green to whitish or yellowish, it is not necessarily ripe.

If the peaches aren’t to be used immediately, they needn’t be full

ripe when they are bought. But they should be mature enough so that they will ripen. > Test of this is also the “ground” color. If the green has started to “beak”—that is, turn whitish or yellowish, the peach should ripen satigfactorily. If the background color is an unbroken green instead, the peach may develop little flavor and shrviel as it ripens. Good peaches are also fairly firm. This is evident from the appearance of the fruit or from examining one or two of the lot. Put fully ripe peaches into the refrigerator at once. Leave those not quite ripe out at room temperature until they ripen. Wash and pare peaches only shortly before serving, because they darken as they stand with cut surface exposed to the air.

Canned Peaches The best way to can peaches is to pack them in glass jars or tin

cans after a short pre-cooking, then to process in a boiling water.

bath. Peaches pre-cooked and packed hot will need about 15 minutes Processing: whether they are in pint or quart glass jars, No. 2 or 3 cans. Simmering peach halves in syrup before packing them into the can will shrink the fruit so that it will fit more closely into containers. And it will help to prevent a brownish discoloration, harmless but unpleasant looking, that sometimes starts at the top of a jar of canned peaches and works its way down. The cooking destroys the enzyme that starts this discoloration before it has a chance to begin work. Cook in the syrup only 4 to 8 minutes, but not until the peaches are soft.

Pickled Peaches

. Wash well 8 pounds of firm clingstone peaches. Remove the thin skin with a sharp knife and stick 2 cloves into each peach. Cook 2 quarts fresh cider vinegar, 8 two-inch pieces of stick cinnamon, and 4 pounds sugar together for 10 minutes, or until the syrup is fairly thick. Add th aches.’ Cook the peaches gently until they're tender but not broken, and let them stand in the syrup overnight. In the morning, drain the syrup from the peaches. Pack the fruit into sterilized jars. Boil the - syrup ‘rapidly until it's thick and. pour over the peaches. Seal and store in a cool place. It will be several weeks before the pickled peaches have developed enough flavor to serve.

JANE JORDAN

Ds JANE JORDAN—I wish to send in my protest to the answer “you gave Perplexed 24. I think you gave him a raw deal. I honor him, whoever he is, for what he tries to stand for. He is more like the young men of my time who knew how to respect a decent woman. You see by this that IT am an old woman and I surely know how to appreciate a gentleman when I see one, which you evidently do not. You make him out to be a nincompoop and a weakling because he has high ideals. His idealization of women will gradually temper down to the right level. * I understand your explanation correctly, but your wording was s0 bluntly, even cruelly given to that poor bewildered boy who undoubtedly has been deeply hurt by some heartless girl. He came to you trustingly for advice and you gave him a stone to chew. I tell him to keep his high ideals and some day he will meet the right kind of a girl who will appreciate him. Please print this but I BET YOU WON'T! 3 READER. Answer: The letter of Perplexed 24 must have appeared some time ago, for I do not find it in recent issues and cannot now remember the details of his problem. I imagine that I must have pointed out reality to him and nobody likes it, not even I. However, to my mind, cruelty consists of encouraging a young man to chase a remote ideal which he never can capture. It is better for him to adjust himself to things as they are. Plenty of people have made a satisfactory life for themselves without departing from things as they are, You aren't a constant reader

of the column or you would know that I always print letters of eriti="

cism. I am sorry that I haven't room for all of yours, but for your satisfaction I tried to pick out the most critical statements,

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young married man but I have not seen my wife for a year and a half and am getting a divoree soon. I have met another girl and would like to marry her. She says she loves me and I love her. I have not told her yet that I am married for fear it will come between us. Her mother does not like for her to go out with any boy. I would appreciate your advice on this. C. E 8

Answer: You can't keep the facts from the girl forever. Ale

ready you have risked your reputation in her eyes by deceiving her, I know of no way in which you can avoid the consequences of what you have done. You simply have to face it. } Since you have made one failure in marriage, I should think you would be exceedingly wary of making another. Wouldn't it be wiser to get your divorce and stay single a while until you could see your past mistakes more clearly in order to avoid their repetition in the future? JANE JORDAN, Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column daily.

New Legion Auxiliary Head Arrives to Assume Duties

A year filled with carrying out the national defense policy and other principles indorsed by the American Legion at its recent convention is planned by Mrs. William H. Corwith, national president of the American

Legion Auxiliary, for her term of office,

at national headquarters.

she said today upon her arrival

Mrs. Corwith, whose home is in Rockville Centre, a suburb’ of New

York, arrived in Indianapolis last night to take up her new duties. Points in the national program which will be stressed in all units of the Auxiliary this year will include the strengthening of national de-

fense and a strict neutrality, as proposed at the Chicago convention, the promotion of a practica¥ Americanism and co-ordination of various departments now working with financial assistance for education of war orphans. ' The services of the auxiliary for disabled veterans and their families will continue to be an important phase of the program, according to Mrs. Corwith, and particular stress will be laid this year on the memorial poppy program. The newly-elected national president has advanced to the head of the auxiliary in seven years, since she succeeded to the presidency of her -local unit in Rockville Centre in 1932, after the death of the elected president. For the past three years she has been chairman of the national radio committee and chaijrman of the legislative committee of the New York Department. She was president of the New York Department in 1935 and served as chairman of the national convention

committee when the auxiliary met in New York City two years ago. ‘Although national defense as outlined by the Legion will be a main point of the auxiliary’s program, Mrs. Corwith believes that emphasis should be placed on the importance of aiding children of deceased ex-

service men to get the education,

college or technical, which they prefer. Interested in her new duties, the national president is looking forward to the meéting on Nov. 18-19 of presidents and secretaries of all the departments and chairmen of all

committees where the groundwork fh

will be laid for the year’s work. Turning her back on New York

Robert Jr. president general of the national society, last-night asked the members to maintain a strong faith in representative government during the present world crisis. She spoke on “Living Traditions” at the Golden Jubilee Banquet. - :

This event climaxed a day highlighted by the presentation of a portrait of Caroline Scott Harrison, first D. A. R. head, to the Harrison Memorial Home. This impressive ceremony was attended by 30 national officers. “The American people,” Mrs. Robert said, “are united in their desire for peace. Let no daughter of the American Revolution, therefore,

be seeing much of that country till|g

next October.” She is an ardent believer in flying and plans to do some of her traveling through the coun-
