Ilt,le cardens as L Ifesavers.

From garden patches to health is l story briefly told in bulletin Of the health department. The depart nent. in it's study of cleanup day conditions, found that unsightly and disease breeding back yards and va cant lots have been giving way to tasty and profitable vegetable gar iens. We were agreeably surprised to find such an increase in yard gar iening," the bulletin stated. They serve to keep the yard clean, to add Q the revenue of the family, and to furnish fresh crisp vegetables for the amily table. The increase in such ,ardens was especially notable in the eighth ward Collections Of cans and rubbish and stagnant pools have given place in the last two years to .man. neat.looking gardens filled with cabbage, onions, parsley, beets and .orn. and here and there fringe or ped of flowers. Seeing ta,s We do not
 wonder at the lowered baby death tate in the Eighth ward. '

Europe Is Drying Up.

That much of Europe will become an arid desert in a few centuries un- less steps are taken to prevent it, two ago by distinguished French scientific man. It Is well known in a vague way that some parts of the earth are drier that formerly, but ob- seryations are lacking to show wheth- CT this has been a result of merely local conditions or is a locally ad- vanced stage of a process going on over a wide area. Herr Walser. a German, has been lately trying to get a more accurate idea of the desicca- ton from the records of bodies of water. He finds that hundreds of European lakes have entirely disap- peared and irt the canton Of Zurich alone the 149 lakes of 1860 have be- come reduced to 76. while about half of these have been diminished in size. German and Russian lakes also, as we'll as those of western Asia, give evidences of a drying up of the land.
 
 Hair has considerably risen in price In the city of Limoges, the prin- cipal market for hair, a kilo of hair worth @ few years ago now fetches GA 1Os. This rise has been caused by the increased size of hats, which ne cessitates an extra supply of hair so as to offer a proper basis to the new structure.
 Ntoraover the vaung French peasant girls are less anxious to part with their trssree, and the dealers in hair are nnahle to cope with the demand made mon them. The crisis is attaining huge proportions. and wearers of false hair would do we'll to lay in stock or thsy wnl be compelled to pay famine prices.

Eddie LingenfeIder Sets New
Mark for Ten and Twenty
five Mile Events
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

Los ANGELES, June 20.-Eddie Lin
genfelder, the new motorcycle star,
took two new worlds competition req
ords at the Coliseum track this after
noon, the 10 and 25 mile Keeling Off
the first distance in sos As and the
latter in 21:24, a pace so terrific that
II really removed all elements of COM
petition. Both performances were mar
velous demonstrations of steadiness
and nerve, and sustains former pre-
dictions that he is certain to be world
beaten
Agraz. although he persisted in his
effort to get speed out of his machine,
was disappointment. Derom was I'M
their speed, while Mitchell struggled in
vain to keep up with the heartbreaking
work of Lingenfe1der.
Seymour, in the amateur class, on a
seven horsepower machine, held a
worlds record for about an hour by
putting the 10 mile figure at SIS 3-5,
which Lingenfelder later lowered. Sey-
mour made a beautiful ride, passing
Ward FIVE times in the 10 miles. Graves
having previously dropped from the
race.
After three ineffectuaI efforts to hold
his pace, Ray Duer, the bicyclist, gave
UP his effort to break the five miles
paced record, although the fault ap-
parently was not with him, but due to
the erratic inability of the pace ma
chine to hold a steady gait which Duer
could follow.
Seymour won the first amateur four
mile race from Bake and Graves Bake
quitting before the end. Time of race,
3:45.
Many exhibition miles were ridden
against the watch, resulting as fol-
lows: Lfngenfelder, As 3-5; Mitchell
81; Graves. Al is; Seymour, Al; Der
KUN, AZ 25. Seymour thus got the best
mark of the day on a four horsepower
machine. Bake won the eight mile
amateur open after a pretty fight with
Seymour. Loge making the best exhi-
bition he has ever shown in this race.
half dozen times before the finish
tape was crossed. Time of event,
1929 As.
Bake won the six mile handicap on
IS inch machines, Seymour running
second and Loge third. Time, 5:25 S-5.
Kohl and Ward quit before the finish.
