Glassing’ Adds to Housewife’s Vocabulary
III
u
J®
iis
Ewing Galloway i'hoto
Grandmother did her "glassing" over a hot kettle, and put up a supply of glassed foods that would sulVice
durinq the winter. A typical grandmother of this bygone era is shown above at right. At the left, is a
modern housewife who achieves the same results as Grandma but in an easier and more efficient way.
Modern methods applied to an
old custom have evoked a new
word for the housewives’ language
—“glassed.”
“Glassed” means anything that is
glass packed or preserved in glass
jars or bottles. It encompasses hun-
dreds of products, but its use is
particularly applicable to foods.
You will find vegetables, fruits,
meats, coffee, jams and jellies, of
course, and scores of other glassed
food products in the neighborhood
market or grocery.
In keeping with glassed foods,
some other new terms come into
the everyday language of Mrs.
Housewife. “To glass” and “glass-
ing” now replace other terms ap-
plied to packing or preserving.
Glass Led the Way
The term “glassed” is as old as
the language and as new as the
modern art of preserving. Indeed,
glass was the first material ever
used in both the commercial and
home-preserving of perishable food-
stuffs. But, like so many other
words in the language, it has never
been used correctly in reference
>to preserving foodstuffs in glass.
Nicholas Appert, “Father of Pre-
serving,” used glass jars for his
first experiments in putting up
foodstuffs ’way back in the early
19th century. The men and women
who perfected his art also used
glass containers in their experi-
New Terms Take Place
In Housewife’s Lexicon
These are the new words
and terms for the housewife's
dictionary:
“Glassed" — packed, pre-
served, put up in glass jars or
bottles.
"Glassing”— the process of
packing or preserving in glass
jars.
“To glass”—the act of put-
ting up foodstuffs, or jams or
jellies in glass containers.
ments. Had it not been for glass
the art of preserving might have
waited years longer for develop-
ment.
It’s heart-warming for the house-
wife of today to know that the
great packing and preserving in-
dustries of today have followed an
example established by “Mother”
America and “Grandmother” Amer-
ica.
Those white-haired forebears —
bless them—labored in their kitch-
ens over open kettles on coal or
wood stoves, in steamy, arduous,
hours-long toil aqd proved that
their lustrous glass jars were the
superior medium for preserving
foods.
Grandmother had to forego any
rest in "preserving time” in order
that the family could enjoy fruits
and vegetables later on. She evolved
recipes and processes for preserving
that eventually industry adopted.
Honor for "Mother America”
All credit for glassing, then, to
Grandmother in bringing us the
choice products and flavors of to-
day in an economical and practical-
ly-modern way.
The laboratories of the great
glass industry have developed tech-
niques which today turn out glass
jars lighter, stronger anc[ unbeliev-
ably inexpensive. The glass jars
used commerically today are so
economical and easy to replace
that the housewife can discard
them like any other type of con-
tainer when they are emptied.
Today, expertly glassed foods
have brought the color and interest
of Grandmother’s pet packs into:

Wyona Jane Roberts
To Marry Sunday
Announcement of the coming
marriage of Miss Wyona Jane Ro-
berts. daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Sunday. October 26.
She is the bride-elect of Law-
rence G. Taylor. The vows will
be exchanged at 9 o’clock Sunday

‘Sanitized’ Mattress
Fresh, Clean, Hygienic
When a mattress has been “sani-
tized” it becomes germ resistant
and odor repellent—two most desir-
able qualities. The new mattress
you buy may be clean and hygienic
when purchased, but you can
readily understand that the ordinary
(unsanitized) mattress will not nec-
essarily remain truly sanitary for
long when in use in the home.
There are germs in the air.
Germs picked up in handling. Germs
from sleepers’ bodies. All these
can get into the ticking of the or-
dinary mattress and there they
thrive. The very warmth and
moisture of a sleeping body pro-
vides ideal conditions for bacteria
to breed and offensive perspiration
odors to develop. Although a care-
ful housekeeper changes her bed
linens frequently, she can’t launder
her mattress, and no matter how
thoroughly she brushes and airs it,
she doesn’t in that way get full pro-
tection and peace of mind.
Sanitized ticking definitely inhibits
germ growth. Even the tough
hard-to-kill staphylococcus aureus
(the standard germ organism used
in the U. S. government approved
tests of antiseptic efficiency) does
not breed and multiply in the sani-
tized ticking.
Sanitized ticking resists formation
of offensive body odor. A normal
person’s perspiration is odorless as
it leaves the body. It is the decom-
position of perspiration by bacteria
that gives rise to unpleasant odors.
By preventing the action of such
bacteria, the sanitized mattress
stays fresh, clean-smelling and hy-
gienic.
Vegetable Water Can Be
A Vitamin Filled Broth
If you have been listening, as you
most certainly should, to the wide-
spread advice on saving the water
in which vegetables are cooked you
may be looking for an idea on how
to use this vitamin filled broth.
Say you have a cupful of essence
from cooked carrots, spinach, string
beans and potatoes, you may use it
to good advantage in a Bisque of
Salmon and Oysters.
First, combine this vegetable
liquor and add enough water to
make the quantity measure 3 pints.
Add 3 veal or chicken bouillon
cubes and heat, stirring, until these
are melted. Then add 1 tall can of
red salmon which you have freed
of bone and flaked. Let these sim-
mer for 35 or 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, in the top of the
double boiler melt 2 tablespoons of
butter and blend in 2 level table-
spoons of flour. Add V2 teaspoon of
salt, a dash of nutmeg, Vi teaspoon
of Worcestershire sauce, a trace of
cayenne and 1 tablespoon of minced
parsley and then stir in 1 cup of
top milk or thin cream and cook
this over boiling water, stirring
from time to time, for about 15 min-
utes. Then stir the salmon mixture
into it and mix well and after that
pour it through a sieve pressing all
Construction To
Start On U. S. O.
Building Soon
Fort Sam Huston, Texas—Im-
mediate construction of the first
group of 25 recreational buildings
for the United Service Organiza-
tions has been ordered by Gen.
Brehon Somervell, Chief of Con-
struction, Office of the Quarter-
master General, U. S. A.
The action was taken as a re-
sult of the recent Presidential
order, tranferring the erection of
U. S. O. buildings from the Fed-
eral Works Administration to the
Construction Division, Quarter-
master Corps.
Upon receipt of the President-
ial order, the nine Zone Construct-
ing Quartermasters of the Con-
struction Division were called to
Washington for a special confer-
ence on the subject and on Oct.
2, all necessary directives and in-
structions w ere dispatched by
telegraph, air mail and messenger
to the Zone Constructing' Quar-
termasters in the field.
The construction of the build-
ings will be handled entirely by
the various Zone offices. The
total number of buildings to be
constructed in the U. S. O. pro-
gram is in excess of two hundred-
fifty. The War Department has
already received from the Federal
Works Administration a list of
51 locations for i-ecreational build-
ings approved by the President.
The. first group of structures will
be erected on 25 of these loca-
tions. Actual building will start as
quickly as titles to the sites have
been acquired, which is expected
to be accomplished in the very
near future.

possibly heavier.
Mrs. Farlow, shocked at seeing
the condition of Dr. York, rushed
back to her home for her husband
before giving the alarm. York
was sitting in a chair facing the
locked door which he had attempt-
ed to open.
The doctor has been conscious
since the attack but was unable
to give any description yester-
day morning. He said later in the
day he did not know his assail-
ant and had never seen him be-
fore. He described him as being
about 35 years old, 5 foot, 11
inches tall jand weighing 175
pounds and dark oomplexioned.
It is believed that the man,
who was wearing no mask of any
kind, thought his victim dead be-
fore leaving.
Sheriff T. B. Harris notified
officers in surrounding towns of
the robbery and attack, and it is
believed that some arrests will be
made shortly. Two suspects were
questioned in Amarillo yesterday
but were released.
The suspect car had been seen
in Panhandle several times during
the past few days.

HOME STRUCK BY LIGHTMMG
Geo. P. Grout of Talco visited
Panhandle friends here on Sunday
evening ,and was entertained at
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Surratt’s home
for Sunday evening dinner.
Grout reports there is no place
to live like the Panhandle of
Texas and remarked at the fine
crops all along the roads in the!
territory. He said he had received
better financial returns from his
farm at Tulia this year than for
many years past. He has a herd
of about 35 fine registered Guer-
nseys at Hereford in the irrigated
belt; handled by C. Leslie Smith.
Titus county in which Talco is
located in fast developing into a
dairy section and the farmers
there report that dairying has
saved them from financial ruin
during t,he depression. A new
department has been put into the
fine Talco high school, and Dr.
Grout has organized the agricul-
ture section.
The program started in Sept-
ember. Last week the boys were
taken to the State Fair at Dallas
and the week before they took
part in the dairy judging at Mt.
Pleasant. 13 5 boys took part and

The Carl Metcalf home, about
three miles east of Panhandle,
was struck by lightning during
the heavy rain Tuesday night.
None of the family were’ injured
by the bolt.
The lightning hit about the
center of the house, leaving a
gap in the roof about two or three
feet wide. Mr. Metcalf said that
no fire followed the lightning
possibly due to the heavy rain
which had soaked the roof during
the day.

Cork Native of Spain
Cork is the thick, soft, porous
outer bark of the cork oak, which
is an evergreen tree of the oak fam-
ily native to Portugal, Spain, North
Africa and most other countries bor-
dering on the Mediterranean. The
cork of commerce is not the true
bark of the cork oak through which
the sap circulates, but a layer of
spongy, elastic, tough and impervi-
ous cellular tissue that forms out-
side the true bark. If the true or in-
ner bark of the cork oak is damaged,
the tree will die ; but the outer layer
of cork, which is light because com-
posed of the walls of dead cells
filled with air, may be removed.

The program there is much the
same as it was at Panhandle when
Carson county was building a
dairy program, with a local cream-
ery. The boys there were right
at the top of the dairy judging
as they were here in 19 3 7 when
they tied for first place with a
team from New Merico for first
honors in dairy judging.
Grout visited Hereford Monday
and took the splendid breeding
stallion, Astral King G. home
with him. Possibly many of Pan-
handle readers do not know it,
but the grand champion and
sweepstakes winner in the five

the Panhandle section last year,
Astral Marrillo, was bred here at
Panhandle.

Utilize Smoke Pipe’s Heat
A new device utilizes the heat
from the smoke pipe of a house
heating plant to heat water for the
bathroom, kitchen and laundry.
The unit consists of a jacket of cast
iron or aluminum alloy which is
clamped around the smoke pipe.
Cold water from a storage tank
travels to the jacket where it is
heated and then returns to the
upper half of the tank. There is a
continuous circulation of water be-
tween the storage tank and the
heating unit around the smoke pipe.
It is claimed that water which en-
ters the unit at a temperature of 48
degrees is heated to a temperature
of 130 when it leaves. The unit
utilizes heat given off by a smoke
pipe which otherwise is wasted.

friends here this week.
Election Foils Plan
Convinced that he’d failed of re-
election in 1916, Woodrow Wilson
the next day hit on a plan of re-
signing immediately so that his
supposedly victorious opponent,
Charles E. Hughes, might assume
office and formulate his own policy
in those tumultuous World war days.
The plan: Wilson to appoint Hughes
his secretary of state, then he (Wil-
son) and Vice President Marshall
to resign. Hughes would then auto-
matically become President. But
while the plan was being discussed
late results turned the tide and Wil-
son won by a hair’s breadth*
Truck Inventory
To Begin Soon
COLLEGE STATION — Truck
owners, including farmers, are
asked to help the "War Depart-
ment in its transportation plann-
ing for-national defense. Director
H. H. Williamson of the A. & M.
College Extension Service stated
today. M. L. Wilson, director of
extension work for the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture recently
asked the cooperation of all state
extension services in the survey.
The inventory is being made at
the request of the War Depart-
ment and the National Defense
Advisory Commission by units of
the Federal Works Agency in co-
operation with each of the state
motor vehicle registration agenc-
ies.
Similar facts also will be re-
quested on all busses and on all
freight trailers with a capacity of
3,000 pounds or more. Informa-
tion given on the cards will be
confidential.
The purpose in collecting these
records of trucks and busses, the
Federal Works Agency explains,
is more effective planning of high-
way transportation in the assem-
bly of defense industry materials,
delivery of military and civilian
supplies, relief of dock and ter-
minal congestion, and movement
of passengev traffic in emergen-
cies.
