WHEAT REACTS SHARPLY
AFTER EARLY ADVANCE
Bearish Crop Reports From Kansas
Stay Forward Movement-For-

CHICAGO, May 15.-Bearish crop re-
ports from Kansas made the wheat
market react sharply today after an
early advance. Strength at the start
was due to cable quotations being
stronger than expected. The subse-
quent downturn here appeared to re-
ceiye some additional impetus from
soaking rains northwest where needed.
Opening prices, which ranged from
4 to Is higher, were followed by gen.
eral decline to well below last nights

Investment Shares Down.

Investment shares are down to or
under the level which ruled at the in
ception OF the spring boom. The same
is true Of speculative issues. although
coppers have yielded less than others
by reason of favorable trade condi-
tions.
Crop prospects are highly favorable
and except for untoward events big
harvests are assured. General trade
conditions. as is noted by bank clear
ings. are improving and the confidence
with which banking interests are en-
gaging In new financing indicates an
unassailable position in that quarter.

RAILROADS DENIED

The application of the Pennsylvania.
New York Central. Lehigh Valley and
other railroads to retain ownership or
continue operation Of boat lines on the
great lakes. despite the prohibition in
the Panama canal act. was denied today
by the interstate commerce commission.
All the railroads applying must give
up their boat lines by December l.
This is the first case involving extern
sive steamship properties under the new
law which has been decided against
railroads.
The decision is regarded as of great
Importance to all the ports on the
lakes which are reached both by boat
and rail lines. The fact that they are
reached by both those agencies Of
transportation, the commission says,
"esta blishes a case Of competition ex-
listing between the owning railroad
and it's boat line"

Decline for Greater Part of Week

The question Of this countrys rela-

other important factors in this weeks
stock market Complications growing
out of the sinking of the Lusitania
were viewed from every angle and
so far as they bore upon the market
effect were decidedly depressing.
Stocks declined for the greater part
of the week, making lowest prices
yesterday. In numerous instances a
large part, If not all the gains made
In the March rise were effaced- Many
speculative accounts were closed,
mainly because Of weakened margins,
and to this must be added no little
liquidation for home and foreign ac-

specialties. Those issues have been
the first to recede, despite re-

| 7 Helps Y |
GARDEN NEEDS MUCH WATER
Humble Tomato Can May Be Pressed
into Service II Hose
Cannot Be Used.

Water is a great help in the garden,
cannot be used. it will save much work
to sink tomato can into the ground
close beside some of the plants, few
holes having been made in the bot
toms of the cans. None of the water
poured into these cans will be wasted.
Without water, cultivation must be
continuous, for 1t locks up the mois-
ture already in the soil.
OF course the garden maker will
want some berries, both strawberries
and raspberries. Let him plant Ches-
apeake, William Belt and Abingdon
and he viii have strawberries TO cover
the usual season BY using the new
variety Superb he can also have straw
berries in the fall. Perhaps the new
raspberry called st. Regis is the best
for the home garden. 1t will begin to
fruit as early as any kind and there
will be berries until the frost nips the
blossoms. This is an excellent berry,
too, red and having fine flavor. The
dewberry is better than the blackberry
for the garden, as it does not try to
occupy all the surrounding country.
The fruit is practically the same, and
the Austin is first-class variety. But
If one must have the old-time black
berry, let him choose the Wachusett,
which is practically thornless.
The best trees for the very small
garden are those grown in dwarf form
They may never grow any higher than
ones head and yet the fruit is quite
as large as that produced by standard
trees and very fine. Most of the COM
mon fruit trees are now sold in dwarf
forms; they are very easy to care for
and occupy but little room. In many
gardens they are trained on walls or
the sides of buildings, where they are
entirely out of the way.

ANOTHER MOVE In
BITTER NAVY FIGHT.
Committee Of Democrats May Take
Preparedness Ideas From Ad-
mihistratiOn.

A Joint committee of House and
Senate Democrats to take the national
defense plans out of the hands of the
administration was yesterday suggest
ed as a step in the bitter fight against
naval preparedness now developing in
Congress.
Senate leaders. alarmed at the pos
sibility of a definite break in the al
ministration by anti-preparedness
Democrats. in Congress. proposed a
Democratic preparedness program
committee" to formulate q plan upon
which Congress Democrats could unite
1t was expected that with House and
Senate Democrats in harmony on a
plan. the administration could be fore
ed to accept il.
Such a plan would be certain to diff
fer radically from the proposals laid
before Congress by President Wilson.
The fight against preparedness, already
highly organized in the House. is de-
veloping rapidly among Senate Dem
ocrats. One group of Senators, led by
Senator Hitchcock. of Nebraska, is
prepared to make a fight for the ma
tionalization of the manufacture OF
arms and ammunition.
They are also prepared to support
the proposal to be pressed by the
House anti preparedness forces for a
drastic investigation of the prepared
ness propaganda organization and may
support an international disarmament
resolution. The suggestion of joint
committee Of Democrats to handle the
subject was made by Senators who
believe that the detection on prepared
ness threatens serious consequences
for the party.
They take the position that definite
program, agreed on by Democratic leg
islators. would demand consideration
by the administration, and might clear
the way for compromise that would
prevent an open, wide break. Many
Democrats who have joined the revolt
on preparedness would suppaTt q ma
val program which cut down the al
minisuatiou requirements for battle
ships and battlecruisers, but which
priyided for ample submarines and
Tor aircraft.

pork and a quarter-pound of fat salt
pork. Soak a pint of white bread
crumbs in cold water When soft
squeeze very dry, add to the chopped
meat with large onion chopped fine,
one tablespoonful chopped parsley,
half teaspoonful each of chopped
sage and seal up in the same man
ner as when canning fruit. This gives
a supply of soup ready to use.
To prepare tho meat, cut it up in
small pieces, sprinkle with salt TO
taste (and spices. if liked, then pack
closely in jars; no water is required
as the meat makes a Jelly itself. Put
a layer of hay in the bottom Of wash
boiler. and put in the Jars, packing
well with hay between them to keep
them from breaking Fill up the
boiler with cold water nearly to top
of jars (having laid covers loosely on
top) and put on the lid When water
boils let it boil for hours longer, when
the meat will be thoroughlv cooked.
If necessary, add more boiling water
TO keep the Jars well covered. When
done. take cut each jar separately

The main point In keeping is TO have

r'o9Es JUST NOW IN SEASON
Maryland Spring Chicken Something
Which the Best Cooks Have Been
Unable TO improve On.

Maryland Spring Chicken - Clean
spring chickens and disjoint them and
then wash them in salt water. Dry
thoroughly. Sometimes the Maryland
cook soaks the chickens for two hours
in sailed water, but, although this
method of preparing them plumpens
them. il is likely to lessen their flavor.
Put equal parts of lard and butter
in deep frying pan, enough to cover
the chickens when they are in it, Then
roll each piece of chicken in -four and
then drop into the fat, which should
be very hot. Fry until Drowned on
both sides. Drain a moment on paper
and serve on a hot dish garnished with
sprigs of parsley. Pour OF most Of
the fat and thicken the remainder
with Drowned -four and add TO it a cup
full of rich milk. Stir until smooth and
pass with the chicken
Fried Tomatoes.-These are especi.
ally good with roast or broiled meat
of any sort. To prepare them cut firm
tomatoes, perfectly ripe, that have
been washed and dried, in slices halt
skins Dust the slices with pepper
and salt and dredge with -four Ii is
a good plan TO mix the pepper and
salt with flour and then dip the slices
in the -four. Brown well on both
sides in hot olive oil or butter. Cook
carefully to avoid breaking the slices
but cook thoroughly, as they are bet
ter when cooked through. Drain on
paper and serve very hot.
Fried Green Peppers.-Wash sweet
green peppers and cut in halves. Re
move the seeds and fry the peppers
in hot olive oil until thoroughly cook
ed Have ready a cream gravy or
white sauce and pour it over the pep
pers after they have been drained of
grease on blotting or brown paper and
seasoned with salt and pepper.

For Garden Plants.

An occasional pail or two of sudsy
water from the washtub or dishpan
helps garden plants wonderfully. 1t
must be pretty well cooled before
pouring it on. In fact, there is one
writer who declares that if American
farmers and gardeners knew how TO
make an intelligent use of waste ma
terial, they could save thousands of
dollars a year in commercial fertilizer
and reap much greater profits from
their crops. OF course, in a small gar
den the use of table waste is out of
the question, though beet and carrot
tops and the outside leaves of the let
tuce heads could be buried in the soil
without any trouble. Coffee grounds
and tea leaves are good fertilizers for
roses especially. SCOT, too, and wood
ashes are very fine.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS
At The Colonial.

In "A Girl OF Yesterday" Mary
Picktord's innumerable admirers will
have an opportunity to see the worlds
most popular motion picture star in
the thrilling role of companion TO the
internationally famous aviator, Gem
Martin, in one Of his daring aeroplane
flights. Aside from the delightful
mixture of quaint humor and real ro-
mantle thrills, there are many points
OF novelty and unusual interest in this
remarkable picture. For the first time
in her life Mary Pickford is seen in
actual aerial fight, and conversely,
Glenn Martin makes his debut as 8
motion picture actor.
Another unique feature Of this
production is the fact that. for the
first time since they have been play
ing on the screen, Mary and JACK Pick
ford actually appear in their true re-
latIonshiDs as brother and sister. "A
Girl of Yesterday" is the story of q
prim little miss who has lived a life
Of seclusion with her brother and her
aunt. She has always dressed several
generations behind the rest of the
world, but has still been sufficiently
attractive to win the love Of discern
ing Stanley Hudson. her next door
neighbor. So great is the modesty of
the little recluse that she does not
realize her irresistible attractiveness
despite the fact that th-se same
charms have made her the mortal
enemy of another girl who loves Stan
ley.
