Rubber Rings
Canning demonstrutors of tho United
States Department of Agriculture have
been stud.ving tho requirements of n
good rubber ring in order to eliminate
cunning troubles.
Tests of thoubandh of rings disclosed
the fuct that color, despite popular
opinion, has nothing to do with tho
quality or strength of the rubber. A ring
should be able to support a weight of
thirteen pounds without breaking.
To make n perfect seal, rubber rings
should posses elasticity enough to take
up the uiievenqess of the jur and the
cover, and be strong enough to resist
Hitting when the sial is made. A ring
that cannot be folded or pinched with
out breaking Is useless for canning by
metlioda in which the ring is heated
(processed), with the Jar and conteuts,

The Streets
of Life
tly HAZEL DEYO UATCHELOtt
(Covvright, ilia, bv FubUa Ltdotr Co.)
.
Anne Carter had begun life on the
straight path that children centrally
follow, but very quickly the path be
pan to twist and turn into a tortuous
street. First, Anne's molhci committed
suicide, and then her father made life
miserable by depriving r of every
thing she wanted. Fate always lurks
around the corner on any street of
life, and Fate sent Geraldlne Carpen
ter to be Anne's friend Just when the
pirl needed a friend most. Through
Oeraldine, Anne met Dane Qrey, and
uncertain as to whether he cared for
her or not, Anne gave him her whole
heart. Then came the time when Anne
was forced to defy her father, and for
the flrt time in her life she found her
self free from his control. Hut she
found also that she could not go back
ami be the same Anne, that a strange,
new independence had come to her and
that she wanted to find the right street
of life alone and unaided.
YXTHV ANNE," Geraldlne persisted,
VV "you don't know what you're talk
ing about What does It matter whether
you do anything or npt? I'm fond of
you we can have great fun together,
and you do enough for me to salvo your
conscience, surety "
"But, Oeraldine, I can't bo a play
thing Oh. please dqn't misunderstand
me and think I'm unirrateful. but I can't
i do that I only play at being your sec
retary, you know tQat. why. for the
last three weeks I haven't even written
a letter. I wanted to clean1 up vour
desk and you wouldn't let me. We've
Jusfplayed. and It was wonderful and I
think I must have been drugged, for I
Just let myself drift. I was bo sure
that It would all end soon enough that
I was determined to make It last nnd
to bo happy as long as I could."
"And now you're determined' to be
miserable." Oeraldlne's tone was sharp,
her soft mouth was pulled Into a thin
line. She was not used to having her
wishes turned aside. She was spoiled,
sho had always had everything she
wanted. Now she wanted Anne. Of
all her friends Anno wns the most satis
factory. Geraldlne was not enough
older than Anno to be her mother but
she liked to play benefactor to her,
she liked to dress Anne's slim young
figure In soft silken things, to watch
tho sparkle In the girl's eyes. Anno had
been a great credit to her: In fact, sho
had become more than a pretty puppet to
Geraldlne: she had developed Into n
friend. Her broadening personality, her
pleasing sense of humor, her girlish
charm, all these had been noticed with
delight by Geraldlne, and she wanted
Anne for hr own amusement. She
would have been quite content to have
Anne live with her. to treat her like a
daughter or a younger sister, and the
fact that Anne's spirit was rebelling
against arcyining or wis Kind, that she
wanted to be free to do as she liked was
Homethtmr Geraldlne could not under
stand. Naturally ahe thought the girl
ungrateful.
If Geraldlne had stopped to think
that Anne had never been free, that
from childhood she had been forced to
do as other people said, she would have
understood the girl's first reaction to
her freedom. But Geraldlne was too
selfish to see Anne's point of view, she
could sco only her own.
Geraldlne rose, drawing her silken
draperies around her Her eyes were
cold and her voice was quite hard as
she said, evenly:
"Then you have decided not to come
back?"
"Please." Anne began, but Geraldlne
silenced her with a little !mpcraMe
wave of her hand. "Of course. I can
look at It In just one light," she said
frigidly. "You don't want to como back.
Perhaps you have other plans more
satisfactory for yourself. and she
swept the ugly room with a scornful
Httlo smile of utter distaste. "Well,
I'm glad I know Just how you feel,
Anne, I think It's best to Know tho
trutn," and with a laugh that somehow
did not ring true. Geraldlne was gone.
Anne stood for a inlnuto as though
she were chained to the spot and could
not move. She heard Pierre start the
engine and she wanted to rush out nnd
scream to Geraldlne not to leave like
that, but she did nothing of the kind.
Sho just stood still and waited, hoping
that nt the Inst moment Geraldlne would
change her mind. Then, with a swish,
the big car started off and Geraldlne
was gone.
Anne's first Impulse was to burst Into
a. frenzy of grief, to sob her heart out.
to run upstairs nnd stifle her screams
with the bedclothes She was like u
wild thing tlemental, primitive as she
stood ther. and then suddenly civiliza

The crown of tho hat is of black Milan straw, with a wreath of velvet

It gives a fine suggestion for making over last year's lint. Just taho off

Dear Cynthia This to "Friend of

his assertions, the fact yet remains that
there are as fino a. set of girls toda

A Word From "Byrne"
Dear Cynthia Oit nnd on speeds tho
small dynamic car passing through pas
tures green, and nature's everlasting
nllds of beauty. A modern D'Artagnan
Is at the wheel, and like the D'Artagtran
of old. he knows his steed thoroughly
So swift Is his flight that he loses track
of time Forward always, leaving but
the dark screens of heavy dust behind
him. Our modern D'Artagnan forgets
that some day he must return by the
same road and that a homecoming Is
full of misgivings.
iSo it Is with our friend "De Jure."
Little does he reall,ie that some day
the mask of oblivion will fall away, and
a new spirit como into nil life. The end
U Inevitable. Machln? riding does not
alleviate the hunger for tho company
of a girl. TImo will always tell, un
less the male Involved belongs to tho
stone age. -
"Do Jure" should open his eves, ad
just his thinking cap. and realize tho
good things in life, othor than speeding
through nature.
Bo must not think that glrlB, always
want to see the best shows and visit
the jazziest cabarets. Far from that.
Becomo acquainted with tho right kind
of girls, iwen you will see how they
tako your interests at heart, and try
to be square v
But, "Do Jure" and his kind must be
honest, too, nnd tell tho girls where
they wish to go. If sho Is a good friend,
she will be satisfied with your choice.
However, o not ask her where to go.
Her respect for you prompts her to
name tho best place. Under circum
stances of that sort you ore to blame.
Be square to others and to yourself.
Do not bo an Idealist. BYRNE.
Go to tho Party
Tweetle Certainly go, dear, and take

t Removing Paint
To the Editor 0 Woman's Fagst "
Dear Madam Kindly Inform me what
will rcmovo green1 paint stains from
woolen Jersey cloth. S. W.
Turpentine Is the best thing to use
for this. Sponge tho stntn with a cloth,
wet with tho turpentine nnd hnng It out
In the nlr to let ho turpentlno evaporate
and to get rid of tho 'stain. If tho tur
pentine leaves n mark on tho dress use
benzol to remove It,
Bleaching Linen
To the Editor of Woman'! Paoel
Dear Madam I bought somo heavy
unbleached sheeting nnd Canton flannel
from the navy store. Can you tell mo
how to bleach them qulckly7 .
A READER.
Wash these materials nnd hang them
out In the hot sun for a full day. You
could bleach tho sheeting: moro quickly
by using javello water, which can be
bought at the drug atoro, but this would
not do for the flannel, as it is too
strong.
Nonaectarlan Homes
To the Editor of irotra' Faae:
Dear Madam Will you plcaco publish
a list of nonsectarlan homes for elderly
couples In Philadelphia and vicinity.
J. E. K.
This list Is too long to publish In the
paper, but you can find tho list of homes
under "asylums and homes" In tho
business directory of tho telephone book.
Tho chargo Is not very great for any
of them.
Stain on White Shoes
To the Kditor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam Kindly Inform me
through your paper If thcro Is any rem
edy to remove a lloor oil spot orr whlto
buckskin shoes. It Is not a fresh oil
spot, and how do you clean a grayish
brown lsld-top shoe? Pleaso answer
this ns noon ns possible, as I must wear
tho whlto shoes In a play on Saturday,
Juno'6. MISS H.
Try turpentine on this stain first, rub
bing it with a cloth wot with tho tur
pentine. If this docs not remove It
entirely, apply a thick coating of French
chalk or magnesia nnd leave It on until
it books up the oil. Then brush it oil
and apply regulation white shoo cleaner.
It may require several applications to
removo the stain entHrely, but if you
make the whiting extra thick over the
spot you can cover it. There is a special
cleaner sold for gray kid shoes in the
shoo departments of tho largo depart
ment stores.
Mending a Record
To the Ldttor of TVoman' Page:
Dear Madam Kindly answer the fol
lowing questions: How can records of
a talking machine bo monded so as they
can play again? Tho records are broken
in half.
I am a girl of fourteen years of nge,
and I am very anxious to do some sort
of work after school. I would not caro
if I had to ride to work. Can you kind
ly Inform mo of a placo wlere I can be
employed after school hours? Ib a sclr
addressed envelopo necessary?
CURLY ILUR.
I'm afraid you can't mend the records.
You might be oblo to stick them to
gether with strong gluo, but there would
nlways be tho crack to spoil tho record
and make a loud, cracking nolso when It
is played.
Thero are various positions that a
girl of fourten can fill in after-school
hours. In order to do nny work nt your
ago you have to apply at tho Bureau
of Compulsory Education, 1B22 Cherry
tttrcet. for a license. Then apply at the
United States Employment Bureau, at
the same placo, for a position.

WHAT "pnercd and
stimulating
11 A
Memories" shall we havo this year
on Memorial Day?
Shall wo go back to those thrllljng
days of the war when wo went bravely
to tho station nnd waved good-by in
spite of the tears that blurred our view
of the smiling, Jaunty boy who waved
back to us? Shnll we remember how
hard wo worked for thn boy nndMll his
"buddies" while ho wns nwny? Cnn
we get once more tho sensation of Joy
nnd relief thnt we felt when the over
scos mnil brought our, envelope to us
nnd we knew thnt our soldier wns bnfc,
nt Icnst when, he wrote it?
It is certain that some of us will never
forget tho strango grief nf those days
thnt kept on coming nnd going nftcr
thnt dreaded word from the government
nrrived "killed in nctlon," "died of
wounds," "missing." It wns n terrible
kind of grief, for it nil ccmcd so remote
nnd so uncerlnin. It seemed wrong to
grieve over a glorious dentil, nnd there
were so mnny boys who felt ns one
wrote, "If nnything happens don't
wenr black, wear gold for me." Yet,
wo hnd lost a boy, wo could not help
grieving.
Wo go back, to all thnt on Memorial
Dnv.
When we see the flag thnt mennt so
much to uo during tho war, we remember
how we felt about it then. It wnsn't
just n piece of silk then with n speclnl
design on It in colors.-. It wns "our
fing," nnd it stood for nil" the high Ideals
with which we eutered nnd enrried on
tho wnr. The lump thnt tins been grow
ing in our throats gets nlmost too big
to mnnngc when wo reach this thought
about the flag. Wo see lines of khaki,
wo hear bands playing the ragtime thnt
stirred us so during the war, we feel
the rhythm of tiiousands of feet in step,
our heads nod in time with the swing
of those broad shoulders ns they pass in
review before our mind's eye. We work
Adventures
THERE is n certain shop of which I
have written a number of times be
fore that recently purchased n limited
number of little beaded bags the sort
one needs to carry with a silk dress.
We, tho Pcrson-in-Authorlty nnd my
self, conferred seriously together nnd de
cided thnt, nil things being cqunl, there
should be enough of them left for you
to have nn opportunity to rend about
them here, nnd purchase one. Lctme
describe oue for you. It is of dark
blue and is crocheted. ,It measures
fcome five inches long nnd pulls together
nt the top with n cord. And sprinkled
over it, in richly colored design, nre
tiny bends. The first impression is thnt
the Bag is covered with beads, but on
second glnnee you will notice thnt they
Jform" merely the pleasing -design. I
hnve it on good nuthority thnt these nre
imported bags, nnd thnt they nre hnnd
made. Their price is $1.75 each.
If you hnve been n faithful follower
recently, you will have noticed that on
several occasions I havo posed some
what as a fashion authority, stating
