An observant chauffeur passing an
automobile with glaring headlights
noted that objects at the side Of the
road which had been distinctly visible
dropped out Of sight when the bright

one can see better in Il little light than

not see better in bright light than in

The answer is, paradoXically, that the
less light there is the better one sees,
for the brighter the object the less efi-
Gent is the eyesight. If after we have
been in darkness we suddenly turn on
a bright light and look at our eyes in
the mirror we can see the pupil of the
eye rapidly growing smaller. If we
reduce the light the pupil dilates again.

HOW
TO Cultivate the Back Yard
With Success

THE gardener should never permit
the surface of the soil to become
baked or ever to form an appre-
cable crust. Constant stirring with
hand tools or a wheel %cultivator should
be practiced between the rows and
about the plants.
Such a stirring permits the air to
penetrate the soil, where it facilitates
chemical action and bacterial activity,
destroys weeds which otherwise would
utilize large amounts Of plant food
and, finally, conserves the moisture
supply.
The rake is perhaps the gardeners
most valuable tool in %cultivating. This
can be passed backward and forward
over the ground until it is in an open
mellow condition. Where vegetables
grow closely in the rows it often will
be necessary to supplement the cult.

ground when the soil is too moist. so
he should be careful later in the sea-

~ evaporated. Unless the ground is
stirred at this time a crust will form
almost inevitably. Such a crust, be-
sides restricting the plants, prevents
the access Of air and also facilitates
the loss of moisture through
ton.
When during prolonged dry spells
the plants give evidence of suffering
because Of the lack Of moisture, wa
ter must, if possible, be supplied arti-
hclally. Where a supply Of piped wa
ter is at hand perhaps the most usua
method Of irrigation is by %sprinkling
with a hose. II %sprinkling is practiced
it should be done late in the afternoon
1t is not sufficient merely to dampen
the surface: a thorough wetting should
be given.
A more satisfactory and more eco
nomical method of irrigation, however.
is to open small burrows between the
rows of growing plants and to supply
water in these bitches from a hose or
pipe. Several hours after the water
has soaked in the dry earth should be
drawn back into place.

Washington, Oct. 6-American
destroyers have sunk a considerab BILE
number of German U-boats. The first
of a series of descriptions portraying
the battles between these destroyers
and enemy submarines was made pub
lie by the committee on public in
formation today
The date of the first encounter in
which the U-boat apparently was
sunk, in view of a fleet of merchant
ships under convoy, is withheld, as is
the name of the destroyer engaged.
The account as prepared from the
navy departments report follows:
1.-The American destroyer first
sighted the submarine in the early
morning of a clear day. The sea was
entirely calm with hardly a ripple of
foam. The submarine was running
submerged with only her periscope
showing. A large number of mer-
chant ships were in sight.
Sight U-boat Mile Away.
THE U-boat was less than a mile
off the port beam of the destroyer
and following a parallel course in an
opposite direction when the periscope
was discovered. 1t was throwing up
a column of water several feet in
height. so like nearly spent torpedo
that the officer of the deck thought
for moment that this was what it
was.
THE next instant the destroyer
changed its course sharply to the left
and it headed for the U-boat at full
speed. At the same time the forward
gun opened fire on the periscope The
commanding officer ordered a course
steered that would bring the destroyer
across the wake of the U-boat a lit
tie to the rear of the periscope.
AS the destroyer dashed across the
line of bubbles a depth charge was
dropped and a column of clear water
