TRAINING IN SCHOOLS
 URGED BY CHAMBERLAIN.

Washington: Discussing war pre- paredness, Senator George E. Cham berlain of Oregon, recently express ed his views as follows:
 "I am not sure that the American people are educated up to the point where they are willing to see military training made a part of the curric- ulum of all institutions of learning and yet it seems to me that no bet ter system can be developed for ere ating substantial civilian reserves than by so educating the boys of the country, in all of our universities, colleges and public schools. It has been insisted that to undertake to do this would smack of compulsory training and therefore would be un- American. With this contention I cannot agree"

Work of Rescue is Rushs4.
TIE work OF rescue began as soon
as the big boat settled in the water.
Bodies were taken out of the water
and the hold of the ship at the rate
Of two per minute, shortly sitter the
accident occurred. As each body
was brought up the indignation Of
the crowd grew. 1t came to a eli
max when Captain Peterson and the
other officers were arrested. Vio-
lence on the part Of the mob, direct
ed against the ships officers, was
narrowly averted by calling out re-
serve policemen.
The story of the rescue OF hum
dreds of the passengers was filled
with accounts Of heroic deeds that
accompany every similar disaster.
The rule. women: ahd children first,
was observed rigidly without q single
exception, according to the tales
told by survivors.
/ Heart-melting scenes were en-
acted in a dozen different morgues
in the neighborhood Of the docks.
Thousands ffocked~ to- these pieces,
and when some disheveled man or
woman found a friend or relative,
there was hysterical laughter, weep
ing and railing such as has not been
witnessed in Chicago since the Iro-
quois Theatre fire.
On a slab in one morgue the bodies
of three tiny babiese lay unidentified.
Hundreds of women viewed these
bodies and more than a tainted
at the grewsome sight.

GROWING CELERY G A
From Piedmont North Carolina

81 have read your article on grow
ing celery. My celery plants have al
ready been transplanted and are fine.
l grow~the Winter Queen. I have al
ways made a trench and MANFRED it
and as plants grow work the soil to
them until hilled up. A. friend of
mine had good celery last year, and
after getting the plants well started
put drain tiles around them, and it
was very pretty after he took it out.
Is this plan practicable? What kind
of fertilizer is best? Would you adj
wise the Baltimore bed method for
the Winter Queen?"
The difficulty with celery set so
early is that it has to be earthed in
warm weather, and in this climate is
apt to rot. It will not keep either
for winter use. Late August is plen-
ty early enough to set celery plants
anywhere in North Carolina east of
the high mountain section. 1t is a
common practice in the North to
blanch fall celery either by putting
paper around it and held by rubber
snappers, or to set boards on each
side of the rows. In Northern Ohio,
at Cleveland, I noticed that they set
their fall celery early in June in rows
about Is inches apart, and then fill
in manure thickly between the rows.
They have the overhead irrigation
system and do not cultivate at all,
but as the celery gets tall set planks
on each side of the rows to blanch
it. Then there are blanchers sold,
made Of heavy manila paper sewed
into a tube. To use these they have
a brass tube that opens and can be
clasped around the plant and the pa
per tube is slipped over this and when
in place the brass clasp is removed
and used on the next plant.
The Baltimore bed method is best
for winter celery. Of any variety. I
prefer for. this method the Boston
Market, a dwarf celery which makes
a great many nicely balanced side
shoots. Early fall celery is a very
uncertain crop in the South. A
friend near Norfolk who has soil well
suited to celery sent to Kalamazoo
and got a man to grow celery for him
on a large scale. This man was IA
miliar with the Kalamazoo methods
of growing celery, and started his
plants under glass and set 10 acres in
May. The result was that the sun
cooked most of them and the man
left disguised, saying that celery
would not grow there. Had he start
ed the plants later and set them in
August he could have made, on the
black swamp land planted, fine late
celery, but he simply tried to intro
duce methods suited to the Northern
climate, and failed.
