The Lure of the Soil.

Cleanup day has come and gone
The cellar has been swept up, the
snow shovel, the sitter, and the
coal shovel hidden away with mental
maledictions. And now the funny par
agrapher takes his pen in hand to re-
suscitate the time-honored hoary jokes
at the expense of the amateur gardener,
while the rake, the hoe, and the lawn
mower are brought out, overhauled,
and begin that alluring sway which
these implements win always exert over
us all, whether city-bred or transplant
ed from the old home farm.
Let the jokesmith mock and jeer. Let
him tell US over and over again about
the good start we are all going to
make with that garden, and of the fine
crop of healthy, luxuriant weeds we
win harvest next fall. He belongs to
the class who have never known the
call Of the wild which the line and Az

We know that he knows not the Joy.

never can know
So when. filed with resolutions and
anticipating the JOY that the land alone
can give US, we take down the old gar
den tools and set out to make the best
garden ever, as we have done many a
year before, we see only the health,
moral as well as physical which close
contact with the soil alone can give /;

Get it cheaper in the market? What
if we cans And, what if We ultimately
do? There comes with the annual gar
den revelry of springtime in the city
a pleasure, something akin to pain at
times, that none of US would forego,
and which seems to intensity as the
years roll around. Then, the children,
too, will get something of which life
in the city deprives them. They are in
a sense deprived of their birthright if
they cannot indulge that inborn love OF
the land and the soil that breaks out

that present location may offer and,
perhaps, render wholly impracticable

ARMY NEEDS DIRIGIBLEs.
Secretary stimson Points Out Value
I'm Report to House.

The American army Is sadly in need
OF dirigibles and other aviation equip
ment, and In this regard is tagging be-
hind the armies OF other countries, ac-
cordIng to a report submitted to the
House yesterday by the Secretary Of War.
Secretary Stimson made the report on
the subject of army aviatics In response
to a resolution passed by the House. He
recommended legislation authorizing ad-
ditions TO the Signal Corps He pointed
out that the French army has made great
progress in the science of aviation through
the encouragement OF adequate appropri-
atoms.
The legislation proposed by Secretary
Stimson is embodied in a bill enlarging
the signal corps by one colonel, twelve
captains. twelve first lieutenants, and
thirty second lieutenants. The bill was
drafted by Gen. Allen, Chief OF the Sig
nal Corps. The bill provides that the
widow or other heir of any ofiicer or
enlisted man who dies as the result of an
aviation accident shall be paid an amount
equal TO six months pay in addition to
the amount prescribed by the compensa-
tion act OF May II, 1905.

Advice from George Arliss.

Let the famboyant press agent be-
ware of George Arliss! He is organ
izing a combine of actors against the
sublimated vulgarity and crudity of the
theatrical imagination as it is revealed
in the public prints. He would, if he
could. abolish the press agent alto
gether.
Mr.. Arliss told the young women of
the New York Academy of Dramatic
Arts that the actor or actress who finds
society alluring and begins to accept in
vitations, kicks away the very founda-
tons which are supporting the desire
for the society Of the actor"
This is what he said regarding press
agentry to the actresses-to-be:
do not be overanxious to see your
name in print. The press department is
a necessary evil of our profession. There
are good press agents and bad press
agents-very bad ones. There are press
agents of tact and discretion and there
are some without any taste, and of the
latter class there is large proportion.
Beware of them. They have done more
to degrade the actor in the eyes of the
world than any other influence Unfor-
tunately they are too often assisted by
the actor himself.
BE careful of your reputation even
TO the point of prudishness. want you
to help to do away with the ridiculous,
untruthful, unsavory press work that IS
at the present time considered smart"
If this advice could be written in let
ters of gold and be accepted by the
leaders of the profession. whether they
be actor, author, or manager, the stage
would be more firmly intrenched in
public esteem than it is to-day.
