Timely Summer Hints
For the Home Gardener

Now that radishes. lettuce and in
some sections peas, spinach and other
crops are being harvested, home gar
deners should be making their prepare
tons to utilize the freed space by plant
ing other crops, say specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
In planning for these paintings the
specialists suggest it is well at all
times, but especially this year, to con-
centrate efforts on the production OF
vegetables that have considerable food
value and on those which may be stor-
cd in their natural condition, dried or
canned, for winter use. Late Irish po-
tatoes are one of the important crops
tnat can be grown on the freed ground.
Navy beans furnish substantial food,
which is easily stored, and the pres
ent market prices make it worth while
in sections where they thrive to replant
with this legume the space from which
crops have been harvested.
Other vegetables of much food value
from huiSh cnoioc may uc maui io'
late paintings include sweet corn, late
beets,. string beans, turnips, tomatoes,
squash and pumpkins.
Among the less nutritious vegetables
which may be planted in soil freed by
early harvests are late cabbage and
cucumbers. Winter onions, fall lettuce
and fall radishes also may be planted
late In the season.

Monster HayStacks,

On the first approach to Koumanian
village one is startled by the largest
haystack that the American will prob
ably ever have seen. Rod upon rod this
monster stretches upon the horizon.
The explanation is a simple one. Hay
is one of the largest articles of produc-
ton in Roumania. Landed proprietors
and peasants, one and all, raise it and
depend upon it for their support. When,
however, a peasant feels grievances in
tolcrable, it is matter of no great
difficulty to set the proprietOr's hay
afirc-and no peasant i'll the district
would think Of assisting in the detec-
tion of the incendiary. SO the law per-
mits the proprietor to force all the
peasants in the district to place their
hay with his, record of the weight of
each mans contribution being kept by
both sides In the event of fire-and it
now bchooves both sides to guard
against all this-all contributors suffer
in observation-disclosures.

BOTH PLAYED FAIR.
Story of Railroad President and
Labor Leader.

When Matthew c. Brush. president
of the Boston Elevated railroad, found
his men We're getting restless he set.
tied the trouble in characteristic fash
ion. In the American Magazine Alfred
Grunberg says:
Constant argument did not appeal
to Brush. 1t was not his way of doing
business He buckled up his belt and
plunged into the middle. His first
move was to call w. ID. AIahon, head
of the National Garments union, into
mis- Office and lock the door.
NOW, Mahon, he said. drawing up
a chair and leaning forward with his
friendly smile, we're here in my office.
The doors are locked. There are no
stenographers concealed anywhere, no
dictagraphs, no one to listen. The
curtains are drawn. We're here alone.
But before we can do anything I've
got to know you and you've got to
know me. You tell me all about your.
self. and III tell you who | am and
what I've done
"And thus the labor leader and the
frank friendly railroad official drew
back the curtains Of rcticence and sus-
picion and showed each other the
goods that We're within them. Mahon
.saw Brush the newsboy and Brush the
apprentice as well as Brush the vice
president. Brush saw Mahon as a fell
low man whose heart was bound up in
the welfare of labor
Mahon found out that | was
square Brush said afterward. and
found out that he. was square. He was
open and honest; so was l. We We're
both convinced that neither one was
trying to play tricks on the other.
For nineteen hours the two men,
behind locked doors, debated the COM
pick problems. each jealous for the in
terests he represented. At the end OF
that time the labor leader walked out
with mutual agreement in his hand.
Not only was this agreement satisfac-
tory to the company but unions have
called it one of the finest documents Of
its kind ever drawn up"

SAVING NEEDLESS STEPS.
How the Housewife Can Economizs
Her Energies.

That the housewife may overcome
that feeling often complained of, that
she has wasted steps, is predicted by
University OF Wisconsin girls, who
have tried out the pedometer while
doing housework in the practice cot
tage of the university home economics
department.
1T tells how far the housekeeper
walks every day" said Miss Edith
Beaubien, member Of the department,
but that isn't all. 1t brings simpliied
housekeeping, because when woman
knows how many steps she takes she
studies out the simplest and most eff.
cient way OF doing every household
task
Every girl" she declares, has worn
the pedometer during the week thas
she kept house at the practice cottage,
Here are the results:
Before planning, one mile; aftot
planning, one-fourth mile.
ITO save steps between the kitchen
and dining room tea wagon was used.
This inexpensive device is trap upon
wheels. All the food and dishes arc
carried upon it during preparation and
serving of meal.
without tea wagon the housewife
travels two miles, with a tea wagon
only onequarter OF a mile.
1.-The making of the bed has become
a standardized task to those Wisconsin
girls. in which every step is counted.
All covers are arranged at the back of
the bed first. Then the housekeeper
steps to the front side and completes
the process. There is no running from
one side to the other to arrange every
cover. And Standardization of bed
making pays even If there is just one
bed to be made. The experiments
proved this;
Before Standardization, 1-32 mile;
after standardization. only 1-64 mile.
perhaps 10 one thing will help more
in making il impossible for steps to be
wasted than u small kitchen If the
table. sink, stove and cupboards are m
ranged near one another the total num-
Der of steps in one day will be much
smaller than in a large kitchen"
