"A lot Of good energy is likely to go
TO waste through ignorance said
Ernest Seton Thompson, head of the
Woodcraft League. which is organizing
potato clubs throughout the country.
There arc back yards IN New YORK
City which will make fine garden
patches and there arc also those which
arc worthless for that purpose.
Not only tho quality OF the ground
but the worth Of tho seeds should he
tested before gardening H. begun. cN-
ports warn. Tho terminating qualities
Of seeds may be easily determined ny

partmcut of Agriculture viii make sucn

formation 60 any applicant as to how
TO do it.
In all tho boroughs Of Greater New
York except Manhattan the soil should
be suited for potatoes said Mr.
Thompson. But where there IS little
sunshine and where The ground has not
been titled and has become baked hard
or is clay which never has been worked
up, the results will be meagrc. Much OF
the soil will need fertilizer as WE'LL
and this is extremely high this year
due to the potash shortage. Usually
some one in tho block or near at hand
knows about gardening and will advise
about the soil.
"In Manhattan. particularly in the
sections which have been built UP
thickly for many years. the soil viii

she is n member.
Colonel Roosevelt has engaged in the
humble task of bringing food out of his
own garden at Oyster Bay, where only
roses formerly were grown. when
asked about his increase in food pro
duction, he called upon his wife Tor the
facts.
"You have increased your production
of potatoes and beans by about 80 per
cent and cut down accordingly on
roses" she said.
Urges Farm Garb for City Youths
G. Thomas Powell. a practical farmer
Of Glen Cove. advocated the "farmeriz-
ing" Of all boys who come out to the
farm from tho city, saying that the
dudish apparel of the average city
youth would not only make him a poor
addition to the farming force. but would
serve 10 arouse the discomfort OF other
farmer bows. As result Of the sug-
gestion. il is asked that all city youths
who desire to dig in gardens dress
themselves in overalls or similar gar
ments Of a practical nature.
Miss Kathleen Walsh, instructor and
head Of the office force at the Farm
ingdale institution. joined the million
aire self-sacriice body, when she an
nounced that she was giving up the
leisure time that formerly was con-
sumed in making fudge and crocheting
to learn the proper method Of driving
tractor.
"Why shouldn't women do this work Y
she demanded. "All that is necessary
is little experience and we can accom-

Mr.. B. has just died of tuberculosis.
His young wife, twenty-five years Old
finds it impossible to go out to work
as the two babies, one four years and
the other but seven months old, require
her constant attention. She is a good

the children will be taken from her and
placed IN institutions.
The Brooklyn Bureau of Charities

At the Strand.

There is a happiness and real ro-
nance in Vivian Martins latest pic
ture, 1.-THE Spirit of Romance" shown
at the Strand Tuesday evening to good
sized audiences. Grown people and
children alike will enjoy this story,
which deals with secret passages, de-
lightful scenes of children and young
man who works on wonderful inven-
ton, kettle which will not boil
over"
Miss Martin takes the part Of Abby
Lou. young girl who takes the fancy
Of Richard Cobb, proprietor Of an an
tiqte shop, and father of Tom, who is
working on the tea kettle which will
not boil over.
The eccentric old Cobb decides to
die temporarily" and leave his for
tune to Abby LOU to see what she does
with it. From a secret chamber he
watches and Is delighted to see that
the little girl makes many people hap
Ply with the money instead of using it
selfishly. The tea kettle invented by
Tom proves successful, and all ends
happily.
One of the best touches in the pic
ture is the esprit Of romance" which is
shown family beside little Abby Lou
turnout the picture. typifying the idea
Of the story, which Is really more a
fairy tale than anything else. Miss
Martin has part which suits her well,
and Herbert Standing does some very
good work as Cobb, the testy old man.
