Some remarkable results were accomplished
last year in Philadelphia from growing vegetables
on vacant city lots. Food worth $4,000 pro-
duced by GOO families working in leisure hours on
land that would otherwise have lain idle. The work
was carried on under the auspices OF the Phila-
deiphia Vacant Lots Cultivation Association. De
Quoting expenses the gardening nctted each family
on an average OF $40 This year the organization
is planning enlarge the scope OF its work. Under
proper supervision. as in Philadelphia, this would
seem TO be a very practical way OF combating tho
high cost of living. What has been done in Phila-
dcIphia can be done in most other cities Every
body hopes and nearly everybody believes that
we arc near the end OF the hard times, but that is
no reason why municipal authorities everywhere
should not encourage the cultivation OF tho vacant
lots. affording city jewellers daily exercise as
hcalthful as golf, with sure profit as a further
induccment.

The trombone is a loose jointed must
cal instrument with sliding gear trans.
mission which is played with both
lungs. 1t is capable of some brilliant
effects when operated by an enthusiastic
performer who is not Handicapped by
familiarity with the notes.
The best trombones are those which
are made with sleeye-valve mechanism
and run in oil at the rate of eighteen
Jerks to the measure. They are played
by winding the lip firmly around the
mcuthpiece, taking a deep breath and
blowing fereely in the direction OF a
helpless audience. This results IN fill
ing the air with large, raucous chunks
of melody which occasionally break up
into small splinters before finding the
right key. 1t is quite a trick to run Il
pure and limpid scale On slide from
bone, as the notes have to be located
with the right hand and the left ear,
which explains why it is that so many
trombone players cock the head on one
side like q man with stiff neck
The trombone is used mainly to see
if the band Is in tune with any
thing outside of the bass drum. It is

Of these tromhones are pointed at the

When the trombone is brand new it
has wide range and can sing bass rs

broken to drive single or double, usually
being played at night by earnest young

hood who has net taken an anaesthetic.
