Underground Plan to BE introduced

for Many of Them.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is difficult to imagine that 300 years
ago a boiled potato or dish OF mashed
turnips was not to be had in Europe. In
those days people lived chiefly on bread and
meat and beer, and the bread and meat
were, as rule, of such quality as would
cause a riot In the workhouse of today
Beans they did have-at least, the upper
classes had them. Henry VIII was very
fond of beans, and had Dutch gardener
over, who found English soil would grow
broad beans every bit as well as Dutch
They rather sneered at peas in the year
1000. Such as were eaten were imported
from Holland. FIT dainties for ladies'
they came far, and cost SO DEAR says
one writer. But mother country peas were
highly cultivated from very early times
Last year, in the Isle Of Butte, a splendid
crop of peas was raised from seed, which
was at least 1000. and probably nearly
5000, years old. This seed came from an
Egyptian tomb. The flower had beautiful
red center, surrounded by white petals, and
ct garden standard. Cabbage has always
been pet vegetable of the Dutch. We got
it from them in 1910, and In 1900 we still use
thousands of pounds of Dutch cabbage seed
And the extraordinary part of it Is that
cabbage is in reality native Of Great
Britain.
All our garden vegetables are merely types
improved by long cultivation of wild spe-
cies. The wild cabbage Is common enough
in places by the sea, but Is of no use for
food in its wild state. Indeed, 1t viii take
a botanist to tell that it was cabbage at
ALL Scotland owes the cabbage to Crum
wells soldiers. The caullflower is but
cultivated improvement on the cabbage. 1t

was very little known unit. about century
ago. The parsnip is another native of this
country. You may find it along almost any
hedgerow but it is small and intensely bit
ter in it's wild state. Parsnip Is grown
more in Ireland than elsewhere. In Ulster
a sort of beer is made from tine root.
Celery is native of Great Britain. 1t
grows luxuriantly in bitches and brooks;
but like the others, wild celery is nasty
even poisonous. We owe the delicious eat
able celery to a French prisoner OF war,
Field Marshal Tallard. whom Marlborough
beat at Blenheim in 11O4.
If asked what was the most important
event in the history of British vegetables,
most people would say the bringing over OF
the potato from its home in America They
would be wrong. The Introduction of the

the field turnip people had to live during
the winter chiefly on sailed meat. And
severe winters were dreaded on account of
the terrible mortality among sheep, which
were then left out at pasture all through
the cold weather. The growing of swedes
changed all that by providing cheap ana
wholesome food for stock when penned up.
Turnips, like SO many other vegetables,
came from Holland about 1890.
BY the way, although England generally
gets the credit for growing the first Euro
pean potatoes, 1t was really Spain which
did so. The potato Ii still found growing

DAY MADE MEMORABLE
PARADE OF MOBILES OF MYSTIC
SHRINE LAST NIGHT.
Fitting Climax to the Program of
First Day-Sccnes on Penn
sylvnnia Avenue.

A fitting climax to a day that will be
memorable in the annals of the Ancient
Arabic Order of Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine were the parade. illumination ana
fireworks display last evening. Win
weather conditions absolutely perfect, the
Shriners paraded in the presence and amid
the plaudits of an outpouring of interested
and enthusiastic humanity such as has sell
dom been equaled in this national city OF
conventions and mammoth gatherings. 1t
was a stupendous compliment to the An
cient Arabic Order. All Washington and
all of Washington's thousands of visitors
were out. The individual on Pennsylvania
avenue last evening at o'clock had reason
to entertain sympathy for the sardine. in
the canned state of the toothsome little fish.
Had the occasion been the day of a presl-
Dental Inauguration it is hardly likely the
thronS could have been of much larger pro-
portions.
1t was indeed great night The weather
man, the mobiles who arranged the con-
claVe and the business men who decorated
and Illuminated their premises 50 lavishly
should be presented with wreaths of laurel.
And, above all, ii must be stated with en-
phasis, the Shriners did themselves proud.
The illumination of Pennsylvania avenue
was dazzling; the fireworks display was
gorgeous. Be there alive today man, wo-
man child to seriously declare that last
evenings effort was anything but an I'M
iudiiitu SUCCESS III every pan tituidl, lHdl
person must surely be classed in
durable cynic. The Shriners ought to be
satisfied with Washington. Washington is
pleased with the Shriners.
Street car traffic from the outlying sec
lions of the city and from the suburbs be-
gan to grow heavy as early as o'clock.
An hour later it was beyond the power of
mystic symbols to locate a seat in any
car unless boarded at the extremity of the
line. Those who delayed their departure
for down town until later had surely to
cross the hot SandS-or the hard asphalt
afOot. 1t seemed as though everybody in
the oasis bounded by the limits of the
District of Columbia had fixed upon the
vicinity of the intersection of 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue the Mecca to
be reached forthwith. Men wearing full
dress attire and the omnipresent feZ had
the right of way. The citizen in ordinary
garb seemed to be generally ignored, even
by his best. girl The Shriner was the hero
