Ills So Easy,

Boston is famous for its beans, but
those who know beans" will tell you
that none are so delicious as those
beans baked in the ground according
to the manner of guides and lumber
men in the Maine woods. Not long
ago a mar from the Middle West took
a hunting trip through the Pine Tree
state. He hired a camp, and his
cook was a Frenchman long expert
enced in the art Of cooking. The man
was delighted with the beans, and ate
them three times a day. When he
went out, he asked the FrenchmaH If
he would give him his formula for
cooking beans. "Sure," said Joe,
"She's jes' so easy as nottin'. If you
lax for cook de bean in bean hole, SO
de whole bean is goin' been whole wen
you tax heem out de bean hole, you

courtesy of the Turk as a fighting man. A dozen
instances could be mentioned. Truces were sug-
geSted by the Turks to allow both sides to bury
their dead "A dozen more of occasions where Red
Cross flags and flags of truce were carefully re-
spected.
When the Turks were plunged into the war by
the Germans English business men of fighting age
in COnstantinople Immediately offered their serv-
ices to the king, although on amicable relations
with the Turks. In one instance one of these
Englislmen, who was assigned to the fleet at
the Dardanelles as interpreter with the rank of
Lieutenant, was sent forward to meet u Turkish
officer advancing under n flag of truce.
Imagine the lieutenants surprise to find the
Turkish officer one of his respected friends of
Constantinople. The truce quickly arranged, they
chatted for q few moments, and while the lieu
tenant was eturninG to his lines a stray shrap-
mel burst near him. The next day n profuse apol-
ogy for the accident reached him from tue 'un-
speakable" Turk.
The New Zealand and Australian forces, them
selves no amateurs at the game of fighting from
natural cover, found much TO learn from the
Turks, who as individuals showed great ingenu-
iy and craftsmanship in their ruses. Often a
Turk, completely disguised as n bush or a small
tree by tying green's about him, picked off many
a Tommy before the game was discovered.
At one point in the Amaze region Il Turkish
sniper was giving the English some trouble, and
an Irishman, who was a good shot was told OF
to deal with him. For the next few minutes the
-
two, at no great distance, took turns in trying
to account for each other.
At last the Turk wounded the Irishman. Then
those who were watching the ~ksman con-
test saw the Turk creep cautiously from his shell
ter, leaving his rifle behind him. He crossed the
space TO his enemy and assisted him in binding
up his wounds from the emergency kit with which
each British soldier is supplied. Then the two
men shared a drink Of water and some smokes
and the Turk crept back to his trench.

turned down by n true Britisier.
From the very entrance of Turkey into this
world war-a step repulsive TO a people already
heartily sick of being drafted into the ranks
the English press has taken Il different attitude to-
ward their Turkish foes than it has toward the
Teutons. A cleaning of the leading periodicals
reveals countless incidents of the Turks chiv-
airy as fighters and above-board methods when
not under the direct observation of their German
officers.

n British officer serving in Mesopotamia to the

"A bargeload of 300 of our wounded stuck in
the mud, and with some medical personnel on
board had to be abandoned. The Turks towed
the barge downstream, and under cover of the
white flag sent the whole lot, including the medi-
cal personnel, back to the British camp unframed
in any way.
Il know of two wounded British officers left
out the night after the battle who were found by
the Turks. In both cases the Turks took away
all their equipment, haversack, belt, revolver pa
pers and field glasses, but both men say they
were not harmed in any way. In the case of one
man they gave him water to drink, loosened his

From another theater Of the war where the
Turks have been fighting comes the story of an

there were a number of Turks. The latter were

of President Jarvis of the Connectlcut
School of Agriculture. Outlining the
of the experiment, an officer
of the league says:
"We believe that to abolish chllu
labor we must do constructive work.
Ii has been found by actual practice
that where children have taken up
gardening they can earn more IN a
summer in that work than they a
during an entire year in Il factory. The
garden products of the children are
Used first for the family and the sur

"When the parents find that the
children can make more money in
this way they will be willing to allow
them to remain longer in school to
repare them for better positions. In
the meantime the children have been
building character as well as building
themselves up physically. Taking the
children from the factories will lessen
the humber Of the unemployed. There
are now 1,500,00O children in the fac
tories and there are 100000 unem-
ployed. When we are able to take
the children from the factories we
will leave their positions for the adults
who are now idle"

Urges City Improvement.

The American City, a publication re-
viewing municipal work throughout
the country and promoting civic de-
velopment, urges that cities in this
country formulate a three-year i'm
provement program Immediately fol-
lowing the termination of the Euro
pean war. 1t points out that such a
plan will serve greatly to diminish the
i'll effects Of the sudden stoppage of
the heavy operations of munitions and
other factories in the country and the
consequent throwing Of thousands Of
men out Of employment for the time
being. The suggestion is a good one,

WIFE MUSSED UP HIS SYSTEM
Until Married a Certain Man Wore His
Shirts in Chronological Order
He Used Tags.

| know a man who wears his shirts
in chronological order, says a writer in
Cleveland Plain Dealer. That is. if
he buys a new shirt he tags it with
his initials, numbering 1t at the bottom
of the pile. And no matter how much
he likes it, he does not wear it until
it comes out at the top of the pile.
He went into wordy detail about the
economy of his system-and he added
that he arranged his socks in the same
manner.
| told him that he would meet the
woman of his dreams some fine day,
and that she would knock the spots
out of his system. | told him that
she would admire a particular shirt,
caress its delicate stripes lovingly, and
ask why he didn't veal it oftener.
And then he would send IL to the
laundry as soon as it was soiled, and
wear it as soon as Il got back; and he
would forget the system.
Don't you believe it," he said. "The
my system!"
But l met him a few days ago-for
tho first time in a year. He was hur-
rying to catch a car. SO / had only time
to ask him how he was and how things
were going. And he didn't have time
to explain-he only shouted over his
shoulder. jubilantly: I'm wearing
EN- every which way!"
And | hadn't even heard he was

SeIf-contained Houses,

1t has been suggested that archi-
tects could do a great deal toward
improvement in city planning by en-
couraging wner to build self-con-
tanned houses-that is, structures that
would contain the entire establish
ment in itself, whether 1t is a house
of business or a factory, says Con-
struction News. Next to nature ar

OPEN CENTER A NECESSITY
For k~ppearance's Sake Such a Plan
for Landscape Gardening Should
Always Be Followed.

1t seems quite difficult to get the
masses to observe the most ordinary
rules of landscape gardening when
planting small places, though some or
these rules are commor to all styles or
gardening and their observance so nee
essary to order that "he WHO runs
may read The one great fundamen-
tai law which should govern all plan
ming is the preservation of open lawn
centers. Too many planters, having
at their disposal but a small front
lawn, usually bisected by a walk to
the front door, feel it incumbent upon
them to plant n or two, or more
large objects, often, very often, W
large palms. Having thus planted, it
is quite impossible to stand in the
center of your landscape and view a
fine variety of plants about you, as
you should be able to do. Those who
have lived in the Eastern States will
recall seeing little openings, or nat
ural "clearings" in the woods, of one
or many acres. Though in the midst
of forest trees, the floor of the open
ing is inviolate, not a tree upon it.
Grass and low, Towering herbs cover
the floor. bushes about the edges /;
next, small trees, and then the woods
or forest, forming a perfect amphi-
theater. Thus is the picture ittingly

Visitors to the hospitals of Constantinople have
been almost mobbed by slightly wounded soldiers
in their eagerness to share the wild flowers
brought in from the banks of the BospOrus. When
the flowers are distributed the inevitable cigarettes
come next.
If no other incident could be cited to Danish the
adjective "unspeakable" in connection with the
Turk, the following related by an American who
served in a Turkish hospital would suffice:
"A young Australian of twenty, with a nasty
shrapnel wound in the thigh, CHANGED to be the
only Britisher placed in a Turkish hospital at
Beylerbey, on the Aslatic shore of the Bosporus.
AS the news of this lone English-speaking boy FL
tered through the native village, the old hanoums
the elder women-outdid themselves In visiting
the lad and bearing him flowers and sweets.
perhaps he has a mother in England who is
waiting for him." was the remark of one of them.
SO much attention was given the Australian that
the other wounded in the hospital took to grooming
tremendously whenever visitors would enter, in
the hope of attracting part of the attention. Of
course, their motive was evident, for the wounded
Turk Is the. last man in the world to give way to
his feelings under pain.
1.-THE Turkish doctor in charge was actually too
kind to the lad, for in his solicitude to remove
every fragment of the shrnpnel he kept opening
the wound every few days, until the boy could
stand 1t no longer and succumbed.
