Todays bulletin from the National
Emergency Food Garden commission,
with which The Banner is cooperating
in nationwide campaign to save the
vegetables grown in war gardens, says
that cool, well ventilated cellar un-
der a dwelling offers good place for
the storage OF vegetables Many cell
lars are not suited for Storage purpos-
es becasue of poor insulation or lack
of ventilation.
Cellars containing a furnace are u.s.
ually too warm and too dry for the
storage of root crops. 1t is often pos
sible, however, to partition off a room
either in one corner or at the end of a
cellar, where the temperature may be
controlled by means of windows. At
least Cne window is necessary, but two
or more are desirable for ventilation
and admitting light.
In building the partition walls for
this new storage room, either lay 2x4
scantling fiat on the floor or nail them
to short posts set in the ground. These
scantling form the sills upon which
2x4 studding, l6 inches apart, are set,
extending to the ceiling. At the most
convenient place leave an opening for
a door feet 6 inches by feet inch
es. Put a header over the door open
ing, allowing one inch for the frame
and * inch for the sill at the bottom.
with sheathing lumber, tack building
paper over this and then put on tongue
and groove material. The inside walls
may be finished with lath and plaster
or with wall board if desired. An earth
floor is better than one of concrete or
brick, because it releases a small
amount of moisture which tends to
prevent the root crops from withering
Ventilation may be secured by open
ing the windows to let in the cool air.
or by means of an intake duct for cold
air to come in and window opening
for the warm air to go out. The intake
duct is fitted into the window where
one pane of glass has been removed
1t is made of wood or stovepipe with
an elbow and extends nearly to the
floor. 1t has a damper to control the
flow of cold air inward. The warm air
exit is a small hinged door replacing a
pane of glass. This combination. of
the damper in the duct and hinged
door for the exit of warm air makes
good system of ventilation.
The crops may be stored in this
room either in barrels, crates, boxes or
in bins built along the walls. The win
dows should be screened and the door
closed except when crops are being
moved in or out to prevent the en-
trance of rats and mice. Fruits and
vegetables should not be stored in the
same room unless they are well COW
cred or wrapped with paper because
the fruits easily absorb vegetable flaw
ors.
In case of very small crops boxes
may be lined with dozen thicknesses

upon the extent of the wetting and

since the immersion.

END HIS SPY CAREER
Notorious "Mr. Graves" Ordered to Be
Interned for Period of War.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 24.-In-
structions to intern Karl Armgaard
Graves, self styled international spy,
were received here today from Wash
ington by Francis NJ. Wilson, United
States district attorney. Mr. Wilson,
following Graves's arrest here last
week, recommended that he be incar-
cerated during the war as an enemy
alien whose freedom threatened the
security of the country.
Graves has been befope the public
frequently since the European war
commenced. He published numerous
disclosures of alleged activities in
which he had been engaged while the
personal spy" for the German en-
peror.
Doesn't Represent g. S.
Graves was arrested here last
Thursday by Arthur T. Bagley, agent
of the department of justice, to whom
information had come that the Ger
man was declaring he represented the
state department. Graves made no
attempt to deny that allegation, say
ing that he was on his way to Denver
to obtain papers that would prove the
illegitimacy of the Hohenzollern fam
lily. He was apprehended at the union
station. Papers in his possession
spoke of efforts he was making to
form Saxon alliance of wide scope.
A report of this to Washington di-
rected that he be held for further in
VeStigation as it was said he had no
connection with the state department.
Mr.. Wilson's recommended followed
within a few days.
Temporarily, Graves will be held in
the jackson county Jail here, Mr.. Will
son announced. Later he VII be taken
to an internment camp.
When arrested. Graves was practi-
cally without funds but ne carried
cards of admission into several prom
inent clubs of New Orleans and other
cities, the authorities say.

GOOD ROADS MEETING

S. the date that the state highway
commission is scheduled to select a

Cities which shall have the benefit
of the government appropriation for
hard surface roads. A determination
to hold such a meeting was expressed
Thursday night at meeting of the
good roads committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Topeka
Automobile club.
Petitions are being circulated by
farmers on two roads leading between
the cities The road men don't wish
any differences on the routes to be
of such great dimensions that it
would cause the commission to shy
and refuse to designate either of the
roads as a state highway There is
little doubt if one of the roads is
designated that the commissioners of
the two counties and the farmers in
the benefit district will do their
share.
One of the proposed highways runs
along the Kaw river, thru Tecumseh;
via Sixth street into Topeka. The
other follows the Midland trail, from
Twenty ninth street. thru Watson,
Stull and into Lawrence.

NOVELTY REVIEW

Despite the fact they played in the
fourth spot, Hager and Goodwin sing
ing comedians, clinched their rights
Thursday night to be called the head
liners of the Novelty bill for the last
half of this week. Altho their "bit''
was tinged with musical offerings, it
was, for the most part, a round of
fun that carried the audience along to
the point where they received a half
dozen or more curtain calls.
The Cliff Dean players share second
honors. They appear in an act called
Done in Oil" With the exception of
one or two weak places it has a lot
or pep" and a lot of the hit 'em
and run" brand of humor that a Nov
city audience likes.
Rose Berry, singing comediene, puts
on satire on her own profession as
IT used to be. Carron and Farnum
opened the vaudeville with a bunch
OF acrobatics that were funny in spots,
but contained a bit too much slap
stick work to be thoroly amusing.
The Norris Balloons occupied the
closing period. The balloons shared
the act, however, with a pony and
dog that injected a lot of action to
their various antics. The vaudeville
program was preceded by the Hearst
Pathe news. On the whole, it was a
typical Novelty show. full of action
and amusement H. E c.

new FIRE CHUTES
Topeka School Children Will Be Better
Protected.


Firt protection and drill will play
an important part in the winters
school program of the Topeka. schools
according to a resolution approved
Wednesday night by the building COM
mittee of the board of education. Two
new fire escapes will be placed on the
manual trainingg building and one
new escape on the high school build
ing.
The new escapes will be of the
spiral chute type and will extend from
the top floor of the building to the
ground. 1t is planned with the new
devices to have fire drill at least once
month. There will be no chance
for injury in the drill-nor- in case of
real fire, with the new escapes, it is
asserted.
The escapes will furnish as much
amusement for the children as it will
satisfaction to the state fire marshal.
The children are taken to the entrance
of the spiral chute, the first pupil is
seated and placed in the tube. A
second pupil is seated just behind the
first on the chute, with knees resting
on the first child's shoulders. Then a
complete line of children is formed
from the top of the cylinder to the
bottom.
And the procedure will be like the
old fashioned shoot-the-chutes which
has for years furnished amusement
to all children. As soon as the slide
is started it's toot! toot! and the chill
dren are all deposited on the ground.
The new devises will replace the old
treacherous escapes erected several
years ago on the manua- training
building The old iron stairs that were
the fire escape proved toe steep and
too dangerous for drills. On the high

placed on the northeast c;rner of the
