BERLIN, May 19.-The gardening
season has been marked by unusual
scenes in the outskirts of Berlin. Eve
rywhere on unoccupied lots people
have spaded up the earth. The lots
have been divided up into smaller
parcels, and the latter turned over
free to families willing to cultivate
them. Berlin and several of the ada
cent municipalities have helped by
making appropriations of money, and
Berlin has also contributed some 49,
900 loads of manure from the city
stockyards. Thus Greater Berlin
hopes to contribute considerably to-
ward solving it's own food problem,
and what is going on at Berlin is be-
ing repeated in every town Of Ger
many. In this way it is expected that
the potato crop of 1915 will be the
largest ever grown in Germany, and
that the supply of other vegetables
will also be greatly increased.
At present all food products con-
tinue to advance in price. Even the
commonest vegetables are from two to
threefold higher than they were be-
fore the war began. Coffee and tea,
though they cannot now be imported
into Germany at all, have risen con-
siderably less than vegetables. Among
meats, pork, the staple meat of the

planned how it was that he became
involved in a fistic jangle with a ro-
bust motorman at Columbus, Ohio,
the first fight he has been in since his
marble-playing days.
It happened that the battle was
staged on the very day that Mrs.
O"Toole and Marty, Jr., arrived in Col

vindicate the honor of the Celtic race.
How 1t Started.
Marty was going from his hotel to
meet Mrs. O'Toole who had just ar
rived in the city and at the corner
where they were to meet Marty en-
deavored to alight from the front end
of the car. The motorman did not
open the door, and Marty politely re-
quested him to let him alight.
The pilot Of the car enjoys the rep
utation of being the bully of the COL
umbus car barns and he forthwith
asked Marty if he wanted trouble.

tive and said all he wanted to do was

opened and Marty got out, followed
by the motorman, who made q "pass"
at him. Marty ducked and swung,
knocking the big motorman against
the side Of the car.
Then It Happened.
For about a minute all the rapidly
growing cluster of spectators could
see was a rapidly whirling mass, with
flashes of bright red appearing at in
tervals. A detective who happened to
be on the car finally alighted and sep
arated the combatants. By this time
the bully of the barns was a sorry
object to look upon, while Marty, the
amateur scrapper, was unmarked, and
just getting his fast one working nice

go and the car employee received a
severe reprimand, and since then he
has done no more fighting that any
