Tips for Home Canning Given WASHINGTON, July millions of American housewives canning fruits and vegetables for the first time this summer, the agricultural department today issued some timely warnings designed to prevent spoilage, injury, or even loss of life. Don't use "canning powders;" avoid oven canning. Experts warned against the use of preservatives, such as salicylic acid, sodium benzoate, boric acid compounds and sulfite compounds. They were said to be ineffective substitutes for the familiar heat treatment for kill, ing bacteria, and sometimes even a definite health hazard.

As to the heat method of canning and preserving, they urged housewives to avoid oven canning because oven thermometers and heat controls may not be effective at the high temperatures needed for successful canning. The canning experts also warned against too tight sealing of jar lids before the heat treatment is finished, noting that steam generated during processing must escape or pressure will accumulate inside the jar sufficient to shatter the glass, blow out the robber, or otherwise STREET STRIKE IN LIMITS WAR JOBS A million Angelenus got to work somehow--despite a work stoppage of 3-00 men that halted cars and busses of the Lus Angeles Kailw ay company.

Rush Work on Keys Highway TALLAHASSEE, (U.R) -Florida's greatest road-building project, which has been compared with the Alaskan highway because of the many engineering difficulties involved, is one-third finished and its final completion date is slated as December 1. It is the 123-mile Highway" from Florida City to Key West, the United States' "Gibraltar of the Caribean." Chairman Thomas Johnson and Chief Engineer J.

H. Bowling of the state road department both agree that if nothing serious occurs to delay construction work, the Overseas Highway, renovated from end to end and shortened by 17 miles, will be ready for service iu five months. This 22-foot roadway originates at the tip of the Florida peninsula and winds southwesterly into the Caribbean crossing 32 lands of the Florida Keys which are linked together by bridges ranging from a fraction of in length to one nearly 10 wJ.es long. Built at the specific request of Army and Navy officials, the finished toad will have an assessed valuation of some $30,000,000, even though the present project, jointly financed by the state and Federal governments, will be completed for slightly less than $4,000,000. The Overseas Highway is being constructed over the rightof-way of the abandoned Florida East Coast Railroad, a $25,000,000 dream of the late railroad king, Henry Flagler.

This railroad was completed in 1912 after nearly eight years' work. During this time construction was halted several times when storms roared through the Keys sweeping bridges into the sea and washing out portions of the railroad bed. The last train to run over these tracks brought survivors of a hurricane, Sept. 3, 1935, to the mainland from Key West. J.

C. Meredith, a former Panama Canal engineer, supervised early buildir.g of the overseas railroad venture, but he died in 1909, three years before it was finally put in service.
