Independence Is Urged.

The department is urging each Sec

this extent can be kept on the average

GARDEN MAKING URGED
ASAPATR|0T|C DUTY
Carl Vrooman Says Every Boy, Girl
and Woman Should Join
in Work.

Patriotism should be expressed in
production Of foodstuffs according to a
statement issued by Carl vrooman. as
sistant secretary of agriculture. The
boy. girl and woman owe 1t to the
nation. he says. to raise home-garden
crops. The small farmer should keep
chickens. a few sheep and COW or two
in addition to work stock. Each farmer.
he says. has a patriotic duty to in
crease the production of his acres by
generous application of lime.
Thus the American people can make
, their war bread of stones" he con-
cludes. His statement in part, is as
follows:
But if national policy decree that
there should be a big increase in our
acreage and yields per acre of food
crops. then the nation as whole, and
| not the farmers a class. should and
must assume the major part of the risk

policy guaranteeing the farmer against

EVERY CHINAMEN EATS BEANS
Ability to Prepare certaii Foods
From the Legumes.

One of the first qualifications of
a useful Chinese matron throughout
the northern provinces, and in many
Of the southern, is her ability to con-
coct from beans, green, black and
yellow, those staple factors in Chi
nese diet known as "teu fu' and
'1iang fen," says East and West. The
bean seldom appears in its pristine
entireness upon a Chinese table; and
it is not considered fit to eat in many
parts of the country until it has
been reduced to its essences and put
up in the form of bean curd or the
bean gelatin which one sees for sale
in every roadside food shop, gather
ing dust and microbes on its translu-
cent surface.
The art of producing these nour-
ishing foods, which are the meat OF
the poor and the basis Of many
patrician delicacies, is to the rural
Chinese woman what butter, cheese
and jam making are to the occiden-
tai housewife. In the large cities
bean manipulation of this sort is
craft and a commerce, just as jam
and butter making are in the lrage
cities of the West, but it can scarce
" be classed as an industry, except
perhaps as an incipient industry.
The bean must be crushed, soaked,
boiled, strained and SO on before
the essences appear.

MUSIC IN ANCIENT TIMES
stringed instruments Found in Egypt
Ian Remains Seem to Be of Ad-
vanced Form for Those Days.

The most ancient representations
of stringed musical instruments are
found among the Egyptian remains.
But these pictures and such instru-
ments as have been discovered-some
Of them extraordinarily well pre-
served-are all of a rather advanced
form for those archaic days.
Nothing is shown of the long evo-
luton from the ancient fiddling To-
Gust known to Moses and the Israel
ties to the graceful harps and Tyres
of the Egypt which we have come to
know through tradition and illustra-
ton or how old and venerated is this
tradition. For in one of the tombs
at Gyseh, date 1875 B. c., there is
pictured an Egyptian Tyre, and in
the day of the first Pharaoh, 1892 B.
c., the musical scale of the country
consisted of seven notes. But of the
intervening stages through which the
activities of the locusts passed, or
during which the decaying tortoise
shell with its clinging dead men,
branes continued to vibrate to the
capricious winds, there is no record.
The very walls of Thebes are said
to have been builded to the thrilling
inspiration of the Tyre. For the build
ers when too exhausted to sing were
melted toward renewed efforts by
companies of musicians playing on
harps and other musical instru-
ments. Curious that the instruments
themselves were of exceeding beauty
and richly ornamented, while the
players thereon were held in the low
est esteem.

IN HONOR or THE NEGLECTED
Memorial Shaft, Unique in Design,
Erected at Liverpool, England,
to Unsung Heroes.

At the Princess pierhead in Liver
pool a granite monument has been
erected in memory Of the valiant
deeds Of the engine-room heroes of
the British navy, according to Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. In addi-
ton to the interest the memorial at
tracts as a work of art, it is notable
for two things: it is one of the very
few shafts that have ever been raised
anywhere in honor of the many
courageous seagoing engineers, me-
chanics and coworkers who have
stuck to their posts in the face of
death and performed their duties
with self-sacrifcing patriotism equal
to that of any soldier or sailor. The
other noteworthy point is that the
memorial is the only important
English work of its type that has
ever been executed solely in granite.
1t is 48 feet in height and consists
of an obelisk surmounting heavy
base, on two sides of which are sculp-
tured groups representing the differ
ent divisions in the personnel of an
engine-room staff. The other two
sides of the rectangular support
carry inscriptions. At the corners
of the top part of the base are four
figures symbolical Of earth, air, fire
and water. Behind these figures and
supposedly supported by them is a
sea-circumscribed globe, on each
side of the back of which flaming
,un is visible. A group Of lightly
