Frank Klett for the jealous attention
he has given to the work of laying
out the plots, and it was voted to take
up the matter of compromising him

Americas best opportunities for the
sale of railroad and electrical equiv p
ment in the Orient were found by Mr.
Rhea to be in China, which has less
equipment per mile of railroad than
any other nation in the world. The
Chinese roads earn about $500 gold
per mile, as much as the American
roads, which they are enabled to do
through greater efficiency in handling
their meager amount of rolling stock.
The cycle of use of freight cars is
about six days, as compared with Is
days in America. Demurrage is fixed
at $40 for every IL hours of daylight,
so there is no delay in unloading.
Japan in the future probably will be
more of a competitor than a customer
of the United States, owing to the ire
mendous industrial expansion in prog
ress there. Much of their raw mate
rial still will be purchased from the
United States, but an even greater
amount will be obtained in China,
Korea and Manchuria, where Japanese
capital is developing rich coal and iron
deposits. Abundant and cheap coolie
labor is available. Extension of rail-
roads in the Philippines will be linn
tied by the small size of the islands,
compared with other countries. Eng
land probably will continue to supply
her eastern colonies with the bulk Of
their railroad purchases.

ARE YOU BOUND FOR THE SCRAP
HEAP?

Doctor, am not sick, but I don't
feel right" That is what many say
to me when they come to see me the
first time. And that just expresses
it. You are not sick enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest of former days. Your sleep
is not restful, and you don't enjoy
your food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best Of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. You begin to see diff
ficulties where there really are none.
Trif1es worry you, and not having
enough troubles of your own, you
borrow some.
Of course, to a casual observer, you
seem the same, because you are try
ing to control yourself. And if you
should tell a friend, or go to an in
experienced doctor, they will tell you
YOU only imagine things; you should
shake it off. You begin to doubt your
self. You sometimes think they are
right and try to brace up and be
bright and cheerful. But then your
old feeling will come back with re-
newed vigor. You begin to wonder
if it really. is your mind, only. And ii
It is so, is it the first step to insan-
ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing you; you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy.
but in vain. You find yourself in
the grip of an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood.
And when you feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you, when you find you can't do JUS
tice to your work any longer then
YOU become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all.
You are very much in the same
condition as a delicately constructed
, engine, which has not been cared for
right Put it in the hands Of an ex-
perienced man and he will soon have
it in fine working order But trying
your own hand at it, or turn it over
to an unskilled person, and it will
soon be fit for the scrap heap.
Let me save you from the scrap
heap!

REALLY SEEMED ONLY WAY
Smiths Idea Was Bright Enough If the
Horse Would Only Do His
Part in the Game.

John Smith bought a horse. The
first Sunday after the purchase he and
his bosom pal harneSSed the horse to
a trap and went into the country on
a fishing trip, At the shore of the lake
they embarrassed the horse and LET
II loose while they fished.
Presently the sun began to go down.
and Smith and pal decided to get ready
for the return journey. They caught
the horse, and Smith began to harness
1t. But here they met n difficulty.
The horse wouldn't open its mouth for
the bit.
They tried every means they could
think of, but still the stubborn animal
stood with closed mouth, placidly
watching them.
At last Smith sat on the ground and
began to tell jokes-horrlble, moth
eaten Jokes, that Adam would have
thought c~hestnutS.
What on earth are you doingT
asked Smiths pal.

STRAIGHT ROWS PROVE BEST
Give Most Attractive Appearance to
Garden, and In the End Also
Save Much Labor.

II the garden is made In straight
rows and In beds Of uniform size and
shape 1t will not only present a more
attractive appearance, thus adding to
the gardeners pride in his work, but
1t will be much easier to cultivate.
This latter fact is an important item
for consideration. as the average city
resident has non too much time In
which to cultivate his garden and the
work must be done II results are to
be obtained. Frequent blowing, as
much work as possible with the hoe,
and determination Of every weed that
shows its head above the ground-all
these r necessary If the garden is
to produce to the limit Of Its capac-
ity.
To insure that the rows will be per-
fectly straight all that is necessary
is a length Of strong cord sufficient to
reach from end to end of the gardens
longest dimension. At each end of
the cord fasten a stout stake about
two feet long and sharpened at one
end so the stakes may easily be
thrust into the soil.
In city and town gardens, where
the space is restricted, 1t is best to
have the rows run the long way OF
the garden-north to south II posi-.
ble-planting several kinds Of similar
ly grown vegetables, like green onions,
carrots, radlshes, ETC., in the same
row.
If you plant such crops as beets,
radishes and onions in beds these can
be made four to six inches high by
digging narrow paths around the beds
with a hoe and throwing the soil upon
the beds.
When the drainage of the garden Is
not good 1t is well@to grow cabbage
cauliflower and similar crops on small
ridges thrown up with spade or hoe
Other crops, among them early peas
and celery, should be planted in shall.
low trenches scooped out with a hoe
When these plants grow the soil IL
gradually worked back around the
roots.
Since hoeing must start early ant
sometimes when the soil becomes
caked above the planted seeds 1t Is
necessary to break 1t, a few quick
growing radish seeds planted witt
other sorts will quickly spring ny
and show where the rows are.

Improving Architecture,

The citizen who builds can do much
to raise the general standard Of our
homes by an understanding Of q few
Of the true principles Of architecture.
The essentials are geometric planning,
good proportions, symmetry and judi
cious use Of features Of merely deco
rative character. Where possible, the
location Of the house always should
be planned In relation to the site with
a view to giving the house a setting
by the planting Of proper shrubs and
surroundings.
The prospective builder can advan-
~tageously study some Of our leading
architectural publications with a view
to familiariEing himself with the best
Of various types Of homes and with
this knowledge he can do much to de-
mand a better class Of domestic archi-
lecture.

BUILDING PLAN WORTH WHILE
NeIohborhood Always Best Where
Proper Attention 10 Paid to That
Highly Important Detail.

The average city allotment Is spoiled
because little or no attention is paid
to architectural merit by the realtor.
This is true because Of the lack Of
appreciation Of good lines in the for
nation of a building plan and its de-
tails Of elevation. The situation can
and will be saved when it is an appre-
ciated fact that the employment Of ar
Nitectural ability raises the standard
without increasing the cost, thus Civ
ing to the investor al asset which is
dependable and sure Of realization,
both In actual value and d~esirability,
because of stability and refinement ex.
pressed In the building.
The neighborhood where street after
street is sold out without building Op-
erations being proceeded with or rigid
enforcement of intelligent approval Of
building plans, is sure to be disap-
pointing because Of the lack Of unity
in the heterogeneous expression Of
ideas much of which Is so often very
bad in execution.
Some n has said that an ideal Is
the framework Of q fact. The aver
age person endeavors to express his
ideal In home surroundings, hence It
becomes a business worthy of careful
study for the builder of houses to
make them really homes.
The best neighborhood In which to
live and zeal a family is one where
building activities are carefully guarded
and the homeseeker is assisted wisely
and prudently in building his highest
ideal Of home according to his means.

Administrations support Seems to
Assure Its Prompt Passage.

Washin gton, Jan. 15.-The gov
eminent has decided on draft regis
tration Of all young men as fast as
they become tWenty-one years old as
the means of keeping filled the ranks
of the war army. 1t has decided
against raising the draft age limit
above thirty-One years.
An Administration bill was intro
duced today, at the request of the
War Department, by Chairman
Chamberlain, of the Senate Military
Committee. TO register for draft all
men who have reached p since June
5, 1917 when the draft law became
effective. The Administration sup
port seems to assure its prompt pas
sage. The bill agrees with the re-
cent recommendations of Provost
Marshal General Crowder.
Other Administration bills intro
duced today by Chairman Chamber
lain. at the request of the War De
parrment. will supplement the draft
law to make it workable under con-
ditions that have developed. One
would permit furloughing of Nation
al Army troops for harvest work or
other civilian duty; another would
elmlHdIe enemy dllen population
from basis of calculations for draft
quotas by making the basis for each
State the number of men available
in Glass One.
Registration of men who have be-
come of age since the draft law was
enacted was recommended in the re-
cent report Of Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder as one of the means by
which supply of men for the Ma
tional Army might be assured with
out taking those who might have
other dependent upon them.
1t could be done, also, the Provost
Marshal General pointed out, by ex-
tending the age limits above the
present line of 81. The War Depart
ment has adopted the first sugges-
ton. 1t is estimated that it will add
about 100000 men to the draft
available each year.
Another bill introduced by Sena-
! tor Chamberlain would provide a
| distinctive badge or button for ex-
empted men.

GEORGE W. ElSENHAUER
Retired Lumbetman, Who Died Mon
\ day Had Visited Cambridge.

George W. Elsenhauer, a retired
lumberman, of Baltimore, died Mon
day night at his home at Blue Ridge
Summit, following an illness of sew
eral years. He was so years old.
Surviving, besides his widow, Mrs.
Ella M. Eisenhauer, is a son, Lieut..
Raymond Eisenhauer, of the Ord
nance Department., United States
Army.
Mr.. Eisenhauer, until about two
years ago. when poor health forced
his retirement, was head of the
Eisenhauer-M acLea Lumber Com
pany, now the MacLea Lumber Co.
Since Withdrawing from business he
had spent most of his time at his
mountain home. He was native of
Frederick county, and went to Bal
timore during early manhood, when
he engaged in the packing business,
after which he entered the whole
sale grocery business. A number of
years ago he organized the Auto
Outing Company, on North avenue,
from which concern he withdrew
about four years ago. He was
member of the Masonic Order.
Mr.. Eisenhauer has visited Cam
bridge upon several occasions, he
and Mrs. Eisenhauer having been the
guests of Mrs George Stafford, Glas-
gov street.
