Usefulness Of Gardens.

A writer in the Southern Woman's
Magazine calls gardens "the solution
or misspent leisure in childhood"
There is great economic TRUTH" she
rays, "at the bottom of the garden
movement, and its value has been rec
lgnized long ago In European coun-
ries. which have brought about difrer-
int forms Of development. Austria es.
,aDlished experimental gardens in its
rural schools as far back as 1869.
switzerland, Germany and England
lave garden course in their public
schools. while France goes farther and
maintains not only flower and vege.
able gardens, but includes orchards,
'orestry and bee industry. The garden
movement is of special significance in
cities where large numbers of children
are turned out on the streets to loiter,
tease and maraud. When the welfare
workers and educators fully realize the
far-reaching value of this movement il
will spread like wildfire over the coun-
try.
It is remarked that the school gar,
den movement in this country had its
beginning in Boston, but that Cleve.
lands school board has. given it per.
haps the greatest impetus. AS the re.
suit of it there are said to be $4,000
home gardens in Cleveland.

PLAN FOR CITY MANAGERS
Kansas Municipalities May Be Given
Power to Hire Expert to Look
After Affairs.

An enabling act that will allow the
cities of Kansas to name city man
ager to handle all the business of q
city was introduced in the senate by
Senator Howe of Dickinson county.
Abilene, Senator Howe's home, has
been operating under a city manager
plan. The bill provides for the se-
lection of city commissioners and a
mayor as under the present commits
sion government law. They are to
receive a nominal salary and are d.
reeted to name city manager, who
Is to serve for an indefinite time,
and cannot be removed except upon
written charges. and must be given
chance to defend himself. All city
employees are to be named by a civil
service board, except the heads OF
each city department.
The commission is to have nothing
to do but pass ordinances for the gov
eminent of the city, and the city man
ager is to attend to all the business
Of the city and is directly responsible
10 the city commission for his acts.
The law requires that the manager be
experienced in handling engineering
and utility problems.
The law is made optional and before
che city can hire city manager a
vote must be had In favor of the
plan.

GOOD IN FLOWER GARDENS
Their Cultivation 10 Of Help to the
Children and to the Neigh
borhood.

Those having in charge the garden
work Of the city schools are also en-
couraging the building Of children's
gardens at home. These Juvenile eff
forts may control the whole garden or
be confined to small space only, APP
propriate prizes having been offered
for each, and also for every possible
phase Of home gardening. This work
should engage the serious attention
Of every parent to the extent OF pro.
vision for children's gardens in the
home premises just as soon as the
hardest seasonal rains are over, which
should be about the time these words
appear in print. Several years ago,
when personally interested in the start
ing of school gardens in Los Angeles
the City Beautiful editor reprinted the
following good reasons why children
should have home gardens and be en-
couraged in the work. Nearly every
one of them applies with equal force to
school gardens.
/. Wherever It has been tried, the
children have been more willing to
stay at home and have taken more in
terest in the home because they love
pretty things.
2. They have learned to be neat and
regular in their work and to take a
personal pride in 1t, that goes long
way toward keeping them good and
happy.
3. 1t gives light and pleasant exer-
else in the open air and offers some
thing that can be seen and enjoyed In
return for the work.
4. 1t gives safe companionship.
5. 1t teaches many things about out
door life that are worth much more
than those learned in the streets.
6. 1t makes the child feel that he
does something for the home, and this
is great safeguard.
z. 1t gives occupation and relieves
much of the restlessness that is SO
trying to the mother.
g. 1t gives feeling of ownership
and control that strengthens character.
8. 1t will give flowers for the house
all summer and fall.
10. A flower garden is contagious.
It appeals not only to its owner, but
to a wide circle of people. In look
ing at it, neighbors begin to realize
that their houses, their lawns, their
walks, their doorways, their back
yards, are all great gossips that tell
tales to every passer-by, and unlike
most gossips, they tell the truth.-Los
Angeles Times.

loved duets.
Tired, stified by the heat, the source
of which he could not understand, he
sat down at the edge of the road. And
now there was a new sound in the air

days. not the rush of flame, but a

Bibfs mind, already confused by the
difficult breaths he drew, could not
tell at first whether 1t was the feet OF
men or horses that he heard. He
stood up, lettering a little, but still
clutching in his hands his bluets.
Then he saw, rushing down upon
him, horses, more horses than in all
his life he had ever seen and, mounted
on them, men, different from any men
that he had ever beheld. Did he look
for the tricolor? Did he know tina.
only under the tricolor might friends
be found? High above his yellow head
he held the bluets.
Perhaps 1t was only fate, perhaps it
was the God to whom the grandmere's
prayers were rising, but the man who
saw the baby hands and the blue corn
flowers was the man of war. A sud-
den word and there was a sudden halt
of all the pounding hoofs. Bending
down from his horse, the man of war
took the blossoms, and on his lips was
word the childish ears had never
heard spoken in tongue he could not
understand; "Kaiserblumen!"
"Honneur, Patrie, Gloire." The va
liant words rested curiously upon the
baby lips, but in an instant the intel
lect before which the entire world was
trembling understood. Honor-Glory-
Fatherland-the same in every heart
for which every man must lay down
his life, whatever helpless atom he
might leave behind him.

splashing, iron ovens changing as they
jumped over the stones.
A cloud OF dust appeared in front,
and the wagons turned aside into a
shallow ditch while a battery whirled
by, gun after gun; the rafting Gals
sons, and after them cavalry, all in a
desperate hurry to save the infantry
from rout
At the same time the air seemed
suddenly full of shrieking things that
burst with thunder-claps and scattered
death! The Germans had brought
guns across the Marne, and they had
the range.
When the battery and cavalry had
passed, the commissary wagons
turned back into the road ana raced
on in an effort to get beyond the zone
OF fire; but disaster quickly overlook
them. A shell struck a heavy van,
the vehicle following It toppled over
into a ditch in an effort to drive past
the wreck. and the road was blocked,
while German fleld-pieces continued to
rake the train from end to end.
Every shell added to the confusion.
The road quickly became a litter of
smashed wagons and dead horses.
Drivers were cutting loose the ami
mails and riding away 1t was obvious

and Stephen was about to follow the
example of his fleeing comrades when
around turn came a black ammuni-
ton wagon, its driver flashing his
horses.
Plump into the piled-up mass OF
wreckage it drove!
Stephen reached the scene as the
driver, who had been hurled from his
seat, staggered to his feet, and from
his blasphemous comments he learned
the reasons for the others haste. The
infantry on the plateau was running
short of ammunition.

1t was then that Stephen qualified

the situation.
No officer was near, and the men

hands ripped a passage through d

When the gap was open Stephen
took the reins, the driver Of the am

under fire: but he did not hesitate.
There was no time even to think of
being scared, to analyze his emotions.
The men up on the plateau must have
cartridges or they must surrender
and the loss of that hill spelled dis
aster!
The pace of the heavy draft horses
was slow-cruelly slow-and the need
Of haste was vital They had not gone
a hundred yards before bullets from
the German infantry were whining
past, and Stephen stood up to lash
the numbering animals.
Now they we're only a quarter OF a
mile from the English trenches, but
the bullets were flying thick, and
shrapnel was dotting the slope with
tieeey, white balls!
Now they were at the bullet-swept
summit, with only hundred yards to
go!
Could they pass through the storm
of lead unscathed?
Stephen yelled encouragement to
the laboring horses. swung his whip
in an effort to urge them to greater
speed. The man beside him suddenly
slumped in his seat. and quietly slid
off to the ground.
