MOTORS IN ARMY SERVICE
Wonderful System Has Been Evolved
for Transportation of Supplies
During the War.

Twenty thousand men are now en-
gagged in the mechanical transport sec
ton of the British army service
corps on the continent. IL addition
to the transport of men, ammunition
and food, motors also serve for am
bulance work, dispatch services,
searchlights and gun carriers for anti
aircraft service. Among recent de-
velopments are the motor kitchens
and motor bath houses.
For reasons of safety the railway
base must be kept well in the rear of
the battle line But the motors prac-
tically continue the railway service
up to a point from which horse trans
ports or other motors can distribute
the supplies.
One of the striking features of this
war is the motor transport column.
With each vehicle keeping station,
about fifty yards apart, and running
to a set speed limit, trains nearly
mile long wind over the roads carry
ing the hundreds of tons of food and
ammunition required by the army.
A well-arranged traffic system, with
motorcycle dispatch riders, keeps
these huge conveys under control, and
their smooth working is a guarantee
that the men in the trenches are well
supplied The vast feet of motor ON
nibuses forms an important part of
this transport army, and on occa-
sion, says the Sphere, they are used
to carry men from point to point when
rapid movement is required.
Eyewitness graphically describes
the operations of the motor transport
at the front This war;" he says,
has ct different times been charac-
terized as a war of high explosives,
war of howitzers a petrol war. In
two senses can the struggle on land
be called a petrol war. The employ
ment of this substance in the internal
combustion engine has rendered avia-
ton possible, and has also immensely
simplified the work necessary for the
supply of the army. Indeed, to such
an extent has mechanical propulsion,
whether of steam or petroldriven
vehicles, especially the latter, taken
the place of animal traction, that the
change caused may not unfairly be
compared to the revolution brought
about by the introduction of railways"

THE IRIS EASY TO GROW
BY c. BESTCHER.

Of all plants the most Indifferent to
all conditions and environments, soils
and care, none yields the product that
the Iris does, and with high culture
it is just that much more satisfactory
for the added attention.
In all garden operations one should
observe natural conditions of growth.
as this with added good care will lead
to success.
The Germanic type of Iris is, in
many ways, an especially desirable
plant. 1t is most desirable as a gar
den flower or for cutting, as they
keep especially well in the hot sun.
Many people say ooh, flags, they
are SO common" However, when they
see a collection IN good colors they
very soon decide differently.
Many growers go to far more trou-
bic than is necessary in making prep
arations fof planting many subjects.
For all plants we recommend giving
the soil a coat Of manure in the fall,
the fresher the better.
Apply it at once several inches
thick-if the soil is very poor, if good
give only an inch thickness. When
this thaws out rake it so that the
fine particles are taken out.
Do this several times between now
and spring time, so the elements are
well incorporated with the SOIL
Spade when the ground is in good
shape-if possible, do so before freez-
ing is over, for when spaded so the
frost will penetrate it deeply, puIver-
izing it SO it is soft and pliable, the
plants will do much better.
For German Iris, plant the roots
deeply; but the bulb should be COW

WANTED THE REGULAR TOOLS
At Least Colored Man Was Sure of
One Thing, He Wouldn't Work
With the Pie.

An old negro man was standing by
a grassy yard in front of a Chinaman's
washhouse when a woman walked to
the street corner near by to board a
car. The old man approached her and,
lifting his hat, politely said: Lady,
can you tell me where can obtain a
job?"
He held in his hand loosely wrap
ped package, from which protruded
the edge of what was apparently five
cent pie.
The lady replied that he might ask
the Chinaman for the job Of cutting
the grass. So the colored man bar
gained with the Chinaman to cut the
grass, for which he was to receive rs
cents.
Then it turns out that the Chinaman
has no tools, and the colored mans
lawn mower is a long way off at his
home ard he is disinclined to go after
it, for the way is weary, the flesh tired.
The lady finally suggested in mat
ter of fact way: Are you going to cut
the grass with the pie?" The colored
man drew himself up with great dig
nifty and replied, reprovingly:
Lady. I never cut grass with pie"

More Use of Coal Eriouets.

A substantial increase in the guam
tity Of coal briquets manufactured
and sold in 1914 is announced by the
United States geological survey.
A tendency to operate in large
units is illustrated in the statistics of
this collateral branch of coal mining
the smaller and experimental plants
going out of existence and the new
enterprises being of greater capacity.
The production of briquetted fuel
in 1914 amounted to 144,635 short tons,
valued at $1,123,17 an increase COM
pared with 1913 of 62,776 short tons
in quantity and $115,S51 in value.
This shows the greatest activity in
coal briquetting in the history of the
industry.
The production in 1914 in the east
ern states increased from 62,244 short
tons, valued at S240,643, to 101, 1852
tons, valued at $273,O46; in the cen
trail states from 1927 tons, valued
at $36O,408, to S8,325 tons, valued at
$424,569, and in the Pacific coast
states from 46,32S short tons, valued
at S406,276, to 54,528 tons, valued at
S425,563
Eight plants used coal-tar pitch for
a binder, four used secret binders and
one used petrolastic cement. No
binder is required in the briquetting
of carbon residues from oil-gas works.

cred very lightly unless planting late
in the fall or very early in the spring,
when they should be planted about
two inches below the soil level At
other times just barely cover them.
When hoeing in the summer it is
we'll not to draw much soil to them,
as it is liable to rot them at certain
times when they are more subject to
this decay than others, when deeply
covered with SOIL and doubly SO after
they become larger.
All the culture they need is to have
the soil kept free from weeds and
hoed very lightly or raked just SO
the crust is broken and kept loose.
About November 1, before freezing
a light dressing of manure after the
hoeing. Plant or divide at any time.
The Japan Iris requires much differ
ent treatment, while very easily han
died when their requirements are IN
derstood, yet they are somewhat tickle.
The best results are obtained when
the soil is very rich, well watered
and kept hoed at all times.
Never allow weeds to attain any
start in their beds as they cannot
resist the encroachments Of strong
growing weeds.
Plant them deeply so that the
crowns are fully three inches below
the soil level. Plant very early in the
spring, just when the growth is show
ing or late in October
Water well after doing it. They
may be planted at almost any time
if the soil is allowed to adhere to the
roots and kept well dampened for at
least two weeks. In fact, they should
never be allowed to become dry.
Give them deep hoeing and good
mulching of manure during August or
September, and hoe it into the soil
thoroughly.

Your ferns to be at their best next
winter, should be repotted late in the
summer. About two inches increase
in the diameter of the pot is required.
A compost can be secured from the
florist or made at home
A good garden soil mixed with barn
yard or commercial fertilizer is all
that is needed. Too little of the fer
hlizer is better than too much, which
will burn the roots.
Broken bits of crockery must be
placed over the hole in the bottom of
the pot. Three inches of dirt is then
placed over this and leveled ready
for the plant.
In removing the plant from the old
pot, care should be taken that the
leaves are uninjured. To avoid this,
strike the sides of the pot lightly but
firmly with a trowel. A sharp blow
on the edge should cause the soil and
root to come out together. The mold
Is placed at once In the new pot and
given thorough wetting.
The new compost is then put in
around it until the pot is filled 1t
must be remembered that the plant
should always be placed an inch deep
er in the soil The day after repotting
the plant should be kept away from
the sun.
If ferns are planted in the garden
now. cut off I'll fronds to prevent eyap-

FUN'S FABLES UP TO DATE
This Is About the Literary Man Who
Insisted on Writing Just What
He Wanted to Write.

Once there was literary man who
decided to write for posterity. He re-
fused to be guided by what the editors
said the public wanted, but wrote what
he thought it ought to want.
According to all the rules of the
game he should have starved to death
in very short order, but for once, the
rules didn't work.
Did the public suddenly wake up to
the fact that genius was in their
midst? And did the editors camp at
his door clamoring for the product of
his pen?
Oh, no, dear reader, nothing like that
at all.
A rich aunt died and left him half a
million dollars, and he kept right on
writing stuff that nobody wanted to
read.
Whether posterity will read it re-
mains to be seen.

guessing.-Magazin of Fun.

Fine Oid-Time Medicine.

That excellent combination of SIENNA
leaves and figs which grandma used to
prepare is still just as good as any all
around liver regulator and laxative we
know for habitual use, If anyone must
use a laxative habitually. Some PEG
pie say it is hard to mix. But think
how good it is and how cheap! A
fve-cent package of SIENNA leaves, a
ten-cent box of figs; chop fine and mix
thoroughly on plate with spatula or
knife blade; preserve in a fruit jar
and dole it out whenever anyone in
the family needs it-a little lump, sort
of "chaw" 1t isn't bad to take. Best

SkY PeriScopeS.

In the cities of Europe that are
liable to be visited by Zeppelin air.
ships the watchers on the lookout for
raiding aircraft have suffered from
stiff necks, and also eye strain from
long continued gazing at the heavens
to detect hostile aircraft, and to meet
this difficulty opticians have devised a
special form of sky periscope. This
instrument is constructed on the same
general principles as those used by
submarines, and the type that has
been so widely adopted for use in the
trenches on land. The device is sim
pie arrangement of mirrors that the
watcher can hold in his hand, and
which enables him to scan the entire
vault Of the sky while looking down
in convenient and natural position.
1t has been found so convenient that
much better and more constant look
out is maintained.

Gus other things which each will dis
cover is so much pleasanter done in
the open air.
Desserts which may be prepared
when the evening meal is preparing
or early in the day before breakfast
which will be cold and attractive and
save time during the heat of the day.
Custards of various kinds and flaw
ors are most wholesome desserts, they
may be combined with any number of
different foods. When one lives on a
farm where milk, cream, eggs and but
ter is in abundance the dessert prob
lem will solve itself. 1t is the city
dweller who needs to economic on
those foods which are so lavishly
abundant in the country, which makes
her long for larger income to buy
plenty of cream, eggs and butter.
The various jellies and gelatins are
delicious combined with fruit and
served with whipped cream, but the
average farmer working in the open,
enjoys hearty dessert especially if
the dinner is not abundantly substan-
tial With hearty dinner even a
hard working man in the open is bet
ter to have light dessert to finish a
heavy meal in hot weather.
Ice cream is nourishing, wholesome
and always liked, so when in doubt
make ice cream.
Sponge Pudding With Roxbury
Sauce. An ordinary sponge cake
served with this pudding is very good
or the sauce may be served with a
sponge pudding. Beat the white of an
egg until stiff, and gradually three
fourths of a cupful of powdered sugar;
then add the yolk of an egg, beaten
thick, three-fourths of cupful of
cream, beaten stiff, few grains of
salt and f1avoring to taste.
