Coffos or Can Be Used in Canning i From Victory Gardens

VICTORY GARDENERS will be able, to save thls excess harvest this year through canning. Additional canning equipment has just been

released. The new equipment is in

the form of the “thrifty lid,” an in-

genious closure developed and introduced: last year to utilize commer‘cially packed glass jars. Millions of the lids are now in production and will shortly be available in neighborhood stores and from coffee roasters.

The thrifty lid is a war development of the research laboratories of one of the nation’s largest glass manufacturers and was originally

developed to fit the 63-mm. opening | §

of glass coffee containers. It may be: used on any commercial glass container having the same size opening, with the aid of the original

- metal screw cap that comes with the |:

jar. ‘Since metal screw caps for glassed

coffee are gradually being replaced|

with paper caps, housewives are advised to save metal caps along with coffee containers ands other jars she is holding for household use. » ” t J

How the New Lid Works

The thrifty lid itself is a thin, composition-lined metal disc which may be purchased singly or in dozen quantities. It is used in combination with the metal screw cap that + comes on the jar originally. The first step is to scrape all of the composition lining out of the inside of vy --the original metal screw cap, or to completely remove the paper lining, as the case may be. It is very important to remove all lining completely from the screw cap, so that it will fit tightly over the thrifty lid. Complete removal of all lining from the screw cap also prevents the possibility of its adhering ir to the top of the lid during processing. From then on regia preserving methods are followed. For instance, in the cold pack method, the jars are filled with the food to be processed, the thrifty lid is placed on the neck of the jar and the original cap is screwed over it to hold it in place. After processing, when the Jars have cooled, the screw cap may be removed and .used over again. The thrifty lid is held in place by vacuum and, of course, may be used only once. - ” ”

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl almost 13 years old. All the girls around my neighborhood and in my school can have dates, but my mother will not let me have dates. She says that something could happen that would lead to no good

‘The boys I know are swell and I think a girl can prevent anything from happening to her if she has enough will power. I don’t think it would hurt if I went to a show with a boy or something like that. What do you advise me to do? A GIRL WHO WANTS TO KNOW = t ”

. Answer—Try to persuade your mother to let you have a group of young people at your own home. Usually when a girl your age goes to the show with a -boy she goes in the afternoon. If at night, some older person accompanies the young couple as far as the show and calls for them again when it is out. Parents who have cars seldom object to driving their children to parties and picking them up again. This gives the young people :a chance to. get a little social experience, but it does not mean that they go about freely alone or stay out late at night. Girls wito have been helped in this way by their parents do not expect to have unlimited freedom = until they, are older. You can’t keep “something from happening” to a girl by depriving her of the experiences legitimate for her age. On the contrary we can’t’ expect her suddenly to grow up knowing all there is to ‘know, |: endowed with wisdom and judge- | ment.

through her own experiences. A girl who has associated freely with boys since babyhood is far more able to take care of herself in situations |. than the girl who never goes ‘out with a boy until she is 18 or 20. After all you live in a world peopled with both boys and girls and your task is to learn how to get

along. with both. At your age it is

normal that you should begin to notice the boys. Your interest should be. encouraged by the methods which I mentioned. But don’t try to act 18 when you are only 12. : JANE JORDAN,

NOTE TO IRIS ELOISE—-I think it would be a perfectly fine idea for you to go to business college. If you can’t, apply at any defense plant where workers are needed. I remember your first letter very well indeed and you have my very best. wishes for success. Put your problems in a letter to Jane

Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column daily.

British Grant Women Equal

Compensation

By HELEN KIRKPATRICK

LONDON, April 9.--The Blegest step forward in the women’s world was taken this week when the government agreed in parliament to grant equal compensation to men and women for war injuries, A fight of many months ended when the government gave in to demands that women be compensated for war injuries received on the same basis as men. Mrs. Mavis Tate, conservative member of parliament, rallied 100 members, against the government last year and finally won out when the select committee heard evidence overwhelmingly in favor of giving women equal compensation and pensions,

$6 Weekly Rate

This applies both to civilians and women in the forces. Men and

for injuries up to six months, and thereafter pensions. Now that the major battle has been won, the next step will probably be to press for equal pay to women in the services. Unlike the United States, where the WAACs and WAVES receive the same pay as their equivalents in the army and|. navy, British women get two-thirds as much pay as the men, Once the ice has been broken, this

fight may not be as hard to win.
