DAN REPORTER LEARNS HOW TO "PUT UP" FRUIT He and Two Other Men and 100 Women at Canning Demonstration. ' BY A MAN REPORTER More than 100 women and three n-en were at the high school auditorium this morning to watch the demonstration of the cold pack method of canning given by Miss Nellie Bowe, of the extension department of Purdue university." The women showed much interest and Miss Rowe wa kept busy answering questions. ' At the morning demonstration Miss Rowe canned -plums, peaches, gooseberries, tomatoes and apples. She first put the fruits, whole, into boiling water for two minutes, as a blanching process which insured easy peeling. They were then taken out, peeled, except the plums and gooseberries, put lrto the cans, and sealed moderately tight In Boiling Water. Sixteen minutes of Immersion In boiling water, twenty for the apples, followed, after which the cans were opened, syrup poured over them and they were then sealed permanently. The process varies for different fruits and vegetables, said Miss Rowe. This afternoon she canned peas, beans, corn and beets. The time for the various immersions ft r these is much longer than that for the soft vegetables . and fruits, the bJanching taking five to fifteen minutes and the boiling taking from two to three hours. Advice as to equipment for canning u as also sriven by Miss Rowe. A false
bottom recommended for the boiler can be made of anything which will hold the cans an inch from the bottom and let the water circulate freely. Boards with holes In them will do vi' ry well. Other Recommendations. Smoothing down of the lips of Jars to leave no way for air to enter, the use of only the best rings, testing of rings to see that they were good were recommended by the expert. The syrup in which the fruits are canned is made by using three parts of sugar to two of water. The sugar is poured into boiling water, and the njixture is allowed only to come to a boll for a thin syrup, but Is boiled If a thick one Is wanted. A cup of sugar to a quart of fruit was the proportion given by Miss Rowe as Ideal for the canning. One of the men there was us, one f reaped before we got his name, and the third was Civic Gardener Murphy. Murphy claimed he was there on business, but we suspect his wife sent him. We didn't have to go this afternoon.
Richmond Women May Sew Shirts
and Make Money
A project , probably will be started
in Richmond whereby women may
earn money making shirts for soldiers
The quartermaster . at Jefferson vllle
has received an order from the gov
ernmenr for 200,000 flannel shirts to
be made in Indiana.
Richmond can' obtain a order for as
many, of these shirts as can be made.
Women will be paid 35 cents for each
shirt made. They can be made at
home or at the headquarters.
Women who want to do this work are asked to call the Commercial club or the Morrisson-Reeves library and
register their names this week.
registering, the address should be given, and statement made whether the sewing will be done at home or at headquarters. Registration can be made all this week. If enough women register a contract for a large number
of the shirts will be made at once.
The shirts will be cut out and the
thread furnished. A competent Instructor will have charge of the work
On The Screen
WASHINGTON One of the most thrilling of stories is told In "The Price of Pride," the striking new World-Picture Brady-
Made which comes to the Washington
theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday. The story deals with the life and adventure of two half brothers who grow
up without knowing each other but
look alike as two peas. They meet under strange and startling circum
stances in a western gambling house
and from their meeting evolves a most
remarkable situation. Carlyle Blackwell plays the roles of the half broth
ers and plays them splendidly. June
Elvldge is seen in a powerful and effective role and Evelyn Greely appears In an appealing part. The production Is staged on an elaborate scale and moves swiftly without a single dragging moment from start to finish. Murrette Sometimes rehearsals for the photodrama are fatal sometimes they are most necessary. Jack Plckford, who will be eeen at the Murrette on Wednesday and Thursday in support of Vivian Martin In the Lasky-Para-mount production, "The Girl at Home," is wondering In which class to put the rehearsal of a scene in this picture where the servant almost drops a hot flat-iron on his foot. When the director called a rehearsal of the scene, the iron was dropped and it happened that the Plckford toes were la the way. Unfortunately the camera was not in a position to register the emotions portrayed by the young
actor, but when the scene was actually photographed. Mr. Plckford took
particular pains to see that his pedal extremities were safely removed from
the vicinity of the falling Iron.
Even Hotels Affected
By These War Times
These war times affect everyone.
Hotel men and railroad officials say
that there Is a noticeable decrease In
tourists this season.
"We have not sold one boat ticket this year, " John Emory, ticket agent
at the Pennsylvania said. "Last year
at this time we had sold a large num
ber of them for trips from Boston, to
New York or other seaport towns along
the Atlantic,"
The Westcott hotel, which generally
has large number of tourists all Bum
mer, has had comparatively few this season. Every day there are tourists
stopping here, but not in large num
bers. Most of those stopping are per
sons from the east to the west or vice
versa.
"There is a slump In the salesman
trade, too," Robert Tomlinson, clerk
at the Westcott said. "Business
houses which are Buffering from the war are taking off many of their sales
men."

Indiana Coal Prices Stiffened by Pact, Goodrich Testifies
WASTE PAPER TAKEN FOR DAY NURSERY
Jaffe's junk store was a busy place Monday. Women, boy scouts and old newspapers were the main features at the store. Newspapers which Richmond housewives have been saving for two months were gathered. While It is
not known deinitely how much paper
was collected the committee in charge announce that they have received more than was expected. Young girls in automobiles, with a
boy scout in each car, gathered the
papers. The money, which probably will be a neat sum, will be turned
over to the Day Nursery.
The committee which had charge of
the work is composed of Mrs. F. S. Bates, Mrs. Howard Dill, Mrs. Willard Carr, Mrs. George Chrlsman and Mrs. Charles Bond.
This committee desires to thank the
women who used their automobiles
for the work, the Boy Scouts, Sam
Jaff e, the newspapers for their publicity, and everyone who in any way helped in the success of the work.
During the recent period of the mass movement toward , Christianity in India, the Christian population increased at the rate of 5,000 a month. ,
WASHINGTON.; July 16. Governor
Goodrich . of Indiana told the senate Interstate commerce committee today
that coal prices In his state had been stiffened considerably by the recent price agreement between the bitum
inous operators and the defense coun
cil coal production committee. He said too, that while the coal car supply in
Indiana had been Increased 1,500 in 45 days and now was giving 100 percent service, no drop In prices has resulted.
His Wife Wouldn't Let Him Do His Bit
He was doubtful, he said to Branch Chairman Cates, whether his wife would approve, but he'd take one of the application blanks for the second officers training camp along and talk to her about it. Two hours later he was back. "She wouldn't let me," he said sheepishly, as he laid the blank back on the desk. Forty-one applicants are in for the camp anyway. Eight of them came In Thursday evening.
John Wanted Themy Cut, Not Burnt Off John Smith, a clerk in Eggemeyer's grocery, still is showing the effects of a hurried trip to a barber shop last week. Smith asked the barber to "cut 'em off In a hurry." In his haste to please his customer, the barber did not watch closely when he picked up what he thought was a shaving lotion and as the result, John had his face "washed" with pure carbolic acid. Both side of his face and his neck were badly burned by the acid and now John is peeling the skin from the place where the barber cut the whiskers.
