Peary on the IVindward in 1897 and
1898. He went on another expedition
to Hudson straits and was captain of
a sealing vessel off Newfoundland. In
1905 he was preparing to 60 north

reach the North Pole. They attained
latitude 81 degrees 6 minutes, the
farthest north ever reached by white
man previous to the discovery of the
Pole. Captain Bartlett was in charge
of the supporting parties, and was on
the ice 120 days. The ice broke up

Now that the automobile is becoming
more and more necessity rather than
luxury, the question of providing a
garage is receiving more attention
than it was given during the early
days OF the~"horseless CARRIAGE The

amount Of. money on an automobile
does not feel satisfied with placing it

Although the detached garage has
many advantages, there are also sew
eral reasons why garage which is
built as part Of the house may have
special advantages in some cases. Since
such a garage may be entered from the
house it is very handy place to have
the automobile located. This feature
is of special Importance during rainy
or cold weather. when the car is dry

CABBAGES AND A KING
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN.

oy ELI[A6Et n VAN DEN FOI SEN'
When the Walrus, in the time-hon-
ored verse, called attention to the fact
that the time had come to, speak OF
cabbages and kings, the beast did not
have any idea that the time would
come when there would be any actual
relationship between the two. Now
kings have come to know the value of
the cabbage while the value of the
king has taken somewhat of a slump
in the opposite direction.
This story deals with an OIL King
and cabbage crop. Midas, with his
fund of gold Croesus, long mentioned
as marvel of money, and the other
owners Of large kingy chests were
but ordinary pikers compared to.John
D. Rockefeller. He has in one vault
in the basement of the produce ex-
change in New York more hidden
wealth than all of the cid kings put
together. i,
Yet he has lively interest in rails
ing cabbages. i ''.
His interest in this direction Is valu.

try y;no have garden plots because II
isIa lesson in the economy Of space
and a tip from the richest man In the
world as to the value of using every
spare spot for raising something from
the soil.
What he sees in New York Is equally
possible on the most remote hillside in
America, and it is for this reason
that l am showing you picture OF
the Oil Kings cabbage patch and tell.
ing you how the man with the greatest
| store Of wealth. wisely refuses to let
chance to raise even Il tiny crop be
wasted. n
When I say cabbages, do not mean
that the patch is confined to this one
thing. 1t is only one Of many. All
Of the garden products that can be
used in a tiny space are utilized, and
around the edges, to work in a little
art along with utility, there are flow
ers.
The Rockefeller cabbage patch Is
located in the yard of the world-fa.
nous Rockefeller institute at Sixty.
sixth street and the East river, New
York city. 1t Is in this remarkable
institution that the wise men of sci
ence try germs on monkeys and dogs
so that they can learn how to save
the lives OF babies and grownups. Many
Of the greatest discoveries of science
have been made in the big building
But when the master Of the millions
came along he saw something beside
the germs and the mysterious re-
searches of science in the vicinity. II
occurred to him that the germs had
nothing to do with the yard about the
place, and that no amount of ,bacilll
could interfere with. putting the open
ground to some use.
So he ordered that the women and
children in the congested, poor neigh.
borhood be given chance to, raise
vegetables on the unused yard. The or.

Now on any day one may see the
woman with the hoe at work on the
garden that fringes the skirts OF
great learning. She is not bowed by
the weight Of centuries like Edward
Markham's famous Man With the
Hoe" She is happy in the chance

Of misdemeanors and felons which should
contemplate ultimately the custody by
the State of all convicted criminals and
the use of county jails only as place OF
detention when the defendants can not

adding to their number In other parts or
the State only as fast as increase OF pop
ulation and distances necessary to trans

to care for offenders against the law in
several institutions rather than a few. In
speaking Of this matter yesterday to a
representative of the Kennebec Journal,
Secretary Bagley said that he had just
received the report Of Study OF the
County Jails in California" which has on
ly recently been completed by the State
Board Of Charities and Corrections OF
that state.
The findings explained on the first page
Of that report are entirely in accord with
the views of the State Board in Maine
and while the width of the continent
divides these two states, the program
outlined in that report will be Of un-
doubted interest to our people here.
1t says: "For the better care Of mis-.
demeanants, petty offenders. California
needs:
/. Correctional institutions-agricultur
and ndustrial-managed by the State.
2. Custodial institutions for drug habi-
tues, inebriates and mental detectives.
8. Indeterminate sentence for all mis-.
demeanants.
L. Thorough examination before com
mitment and possible transfer from one
state institution to another.
REASONS FOR A STATE SYSTEM As
OUTLINED ABOVE.
I. State laws have been violated in
most cases.
@ Migratory men should be cared for
by the state rather than by the county.
3. The "foater custom is merely
passing the buck"
L. Uniformity Of treatment is lacking.
5. Short sentences do little good.
s. Recidivism would be reduced.
7. Sanitary conditions could be econom-
ically introduced.
g. Enforced idleness would be dis
placed by useful labor.
Q. Discipline would be improved.
The county jail should be used for the
detention Of persons awaiting trial. not
for those serving sentence"
