When you have estimated the capacity of your family, estimate how many bushels of each kind of fruit and vegetable you will need for this year's canning program. Plot Your Canning

4. Plan to can the most nourishing fruits and vegetables which are not likely to be available the year round in your local markets, such as tomatoes, snap beans, lima beans, peas and corn. Above all can lots of tomatoes. They are a good source of vitamin C and also add variety to winter meals. 5. Follow this wartime rule— first put up the really nourishing foods, then, if your time, sugar and dollar budget permits, can the taste-tempters such as relishes, jellies, jams and preserves.

i ’ . ANZIO, Italy, May 30.—John L. Hartzell, 26-year-old father of four children, whose home is in Jackson Heights, L. I., captured seven German infantrymen by himself, Saturday. There wa$ nothing much unusual about that except that Hartzell is a member of the United States navy. He is a’ photographer's mate, 2d class, temporarily attached to the army pictorial service and is having a field day as a landlubber taking pictures of the 5th army's beachhead offensive. Just what the navy proposes to do with shots showing how a footsoldier fights is not quite clear, but that is beside the point.

“Like a fool,” Hartzell said, “I was tagging along on foot behind one of our tanks up around Velletri, I just walked in on a German machinegun nest, well hidden in reeds. It was only 50 feet from a machine-

nobody knew that anybody else was there.” Hartzell's armament consisted of one camera and one carbine and he considered it eminently fitting to use the latter just at this time. “I saw two Jerries sitting there,” he said, “and I told ’em to ‘hist ‘em.’ Then four more came out from somewhere and I told them to hist ‘em, too. I tried my bad German on them and it didn't work, but one of them spoke English. “I brought them back and turned them over to the infantry. Coming up the trail the prisoners told me where there were more of them where they came from. So I went

The army did not seem to mind. | If \Hartzell had been riding the tail-end of a tank Saturday, as he had been Thursday, he would have by-passed that machine-gun nest and never captured anybody.
