HOW MALTA BECAME GARDEN
inhabitants Brought in Shiploads of
Earth and Spread 1t Over Barren
Rocks of the Island.

What Malta was like before the
Maltese found IL one cannot imagine,
says the Manchester Guardian. Pre-
sumably there was some soil some
where, hidden among the little valleys
that scar the golden rock. But there
was very little soil. Most of the island
must have been just plain rock, with
nothing in particular to recommend 1t.
But somewhere in the dawn of history
there came an Industrious, ingenious
race and proceeded to make the best of
1t. They have been doing that all down
the centuries, till now they have re-
duced it to a fine art, and the barren
rock is a garden from end to end.
They realized, those clever Maltese,
that although they might not have
earth enough to grow their food. there
were plenty of people who had enough
and to spare. So they sent their ships
abroad, and the ships came back load
ed with just plain earth. This earth
they took and spread on the Lodges of
their rocks and sowed their seed and
reaped their harvests and prospered
exceedingly.

MINERALS FOUND IN FOODS
iron Could Be Administered as
Tonic Through Diet.

Years ago, dosing with iron was part
of the treatment for those who needed
e tonic The doctor would order it
given in a spoon. without regard TO the
Injurious effects on the teeth. Later
they prescribed n tube for the admin
istration of iron. Not So long ago
someone decided that iron could be
administered through the food, and
now doctors order iron through the
juice of spinach for infants. and the
spinach itself for older patients,
Spinach, lettuce, asparagus, beans,
cabbage. celery, radishes, squash. toma-
toes. carrots. turnips and onions all
contain iron. which helps 10 build the
red corpuscles.
Other minerals which form part of
the diet are potassium, which helps TO
build cells. magnesium for the nerves.
calcium for building bone. and cell
lulose which exercises the muscles of
the digestive tract. These minerals
are found in green vegetables. Car
rots deserve higher place in the diet
than usually is given them. Lettuce
and celery could be used oftener TO
advantage. Onions are better than
medicine. (If sprig of barley follows
the onions, the odor of the onions will
be removed.) The minerals also help
TO regulate the body processes.

AUTO-TRUCK DRIVER
CARRIED 40 MILES ON BUMPER
Man Hit In Baltimore, Is Found on
Engine Cowcatcher in
Washington.

When the auto-truck which he was
driving to Baltimore Wednesday night
was struck by an Eastbound train of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at
the Ridgely street, that city, crossing
of the railroad, Allie Hood, of Oden-
ton, this county received a broken
arm and bruises about the body. He
was taken to hospital in Washington
by the crew of the train.
According to report by the COM
psny. the gates at the crossing were
just being raised after a west-bound
train had passed. Hood slid under the
gate, following closely behind a mo-
tor-cycle, which made the crossing, and
was struck by the express train,
bound for Chicago. The truck was
demolished.
Hood was thrown from the truck and
caught on the bumper of the engine.
When the train was brought to q stop
he was taken aboard and continued to
Washington, where he was placed in a
hospital. The truck was the property
of Richard Maynard, of Odenton.

Twas Ever Thus.

"Here you have the story of all hui
man love. 1t Is not the real woman
we adore, but an eldolon phantasm
that the god in us fashions out of the
mist of our desires and the light of our
fancy, and the woman who Is, is but
symbol for the cloud-bride, for the
woman who is not and never will be.
1t was an eidolon, phantasm In the
likeness of the woman you have seen,
that inspired your poet, and 1t was of
the eidolon he spoke in his often too
daring, too violent verses. The eidolon
he took with him on his perllous jour-
ney to all the heights and depths OF
passion, whereas the real woman lived
safely and unsuspectingly In quite an
fiannels We're the matter of her con-
Germ. And wherever you find une
grande passion, love and a passion
that seem more than human, be sure
that they were given merely to
dream, dream seen as in a mirror in
the form of the loved one. She who
lived in his house and whom you think
unworthy of your poet, she was to him
as much a stranger as she is to you.
The one he pressed to his heart, the
one into whose ear he whispered his
songs, the one who gave him all that
love could give to love, that was the
eidolon, and the eidolon died with him.
In vain you will go and search for it,"

SHIPS NEED OF AUSTRALIA
Grain of Little Value Without Trans
portatIon, as Little of 1t Is Used
at Home.

"Australia's food production this
year will average normal it is neither
unusually heavy nor light, but there
is going to be considerable difficulty
in handling the crops, because there
are no facilities for transportation"
said III. w. Stephens, q merchant OF
Melbourne, who was visiting the Unit
ed States. 1.-THE greatest need of Aus
tralia today is transportation. Until
ship tonnage is provided it is almost
useless for the farmers to complete
their harvesting, as it requires only
small percentage of the crops to sup
ply the domestic needs. Heretofore
great quantities of grain have been
shipped to England and it is still going
overseas, but in not sufficient quantity,
for England needs wheat now as never
before. But without ships 1t is impos-
sible for us to send our wheat
abroad.
"The wheat crop of Australia was
damaged to some extent by mice, and
until the farmers learned how to COM
bat this pest 1t threatened to become
a serious menace. The farmers used
poison, water, gas and other means,
and finally got rid of them"

Of the United States evicted 300 In
dams from their old home on Warmers
ranch, in California. Some time later
the Sequoia league induced President
Roosevelt to name commission to
find new tract for the Indians. This
resulted in the government buying the
Pala valley. where the Indians found
homes much better than those they
were evicted from. But Warmers
ranch was the old domicile, where Fa-
Their Ubach of San Diego held services

tated the chapel "for memory's sake"
On a recent Sunday the old chapel was
rededicated, and the Indians from the
Pala valley were happy In praying at

ENGINE BUILT LIKE 4 WATCH

Cost From $4,000 to 10000 and
Wears Out Quickly.

The engine of your motor car
weighs from 500 to 100 pounds, or
more. II viii average from 20 TO 30
horsepower at the lowest, says
writer in Golfers. The new airplane
engines run less than three pounds per
horsepower and the finest of them two
pounds or less. Airplanes have been
built with air-cooled engines for short
distance, fast scouting whose en-
gines weigh less than a pound and
three-quarters per horsepower. They
must be quite literally, as an old adj
Sertisement used to say, "built like a
watch"
AT present a high-powered airplane
engine of the best type-say 40 to
$50 rsepower-cannot be purchased
for much less than $4,000. And the
whole airplane, big one, may readily
cost $4,000 to $4,000. You can read
fly see why the construction of only
1900 airplanes, as in England's pro-
gram, would easily equal, for a total
expenditure for men and camps and
hangers and repairs and wastage,
more than half billion dollars.
A fast modern airplane has an aver
age life of only about two or three
hundred hours of active service-say
two months at the outside. This
means that to keep 10000 airplanes on
battle line you have TO be able to
build 5000 per month or more. The
cost would be almost unthinkable.
That is why warfare in the air for any
length of time would bankrupt the
world. And that, in turn, is why war
