SCHOOL GARDEN ARMY

There is one United States army of
which little has been said as yet but
which is winning its victories for lib.
erty in the back yards and vacant lots
of many places. This is the school
garden army.
President Wilson called this army
into being and set aside $4,000 for
It's first expenses. Now an ,appropria.
tion of $780, 900 has been made to GOV.
Ell its needs for the pext ten months.
The army is large one This year
II numbered nearly 100000 garden
soldiers. The next season is expect
ed to find this number doubled or
even trcbled The national board of
education, many local boards, $4,000
school teachers and many thousands
of parents are backing the work of
the army.
What Is the work? During the gar
dening days now coming to an end

that has long been idle. Their har-
vesting is not completed. but anyone
who has had the pleasure of seeing
some OF those gardens knows that the
crops are a real addition to the ma.
tiOn's food supply.
The fun of making things grow. of
working over small garden plot
where the work Is not too coniining
or too heavy for young minds and
bodies, is probably worth every bit as
much to those children, their parents
and the country as the crops they
raise. Perhaps more. For the fresh
air and exercise, the ideals of indus
try and responsibility produce thriv-
ing crops Of health and happiness.

The monotony of the march was
hroten when we reached the enor-
mons camp at Chalons. This is n
~ the largest of the French army
- INNS. We saw Chalons from the dis
lance. AS we halted about an hour
later outside the city In an orchard,
without q single exception every man
fell to the ground exhausted. The field
kitchens were soon brought up, but the
men we're too tired to eat. We did eat
later and then wanted to go 10 town to
purchase some articles. particularly
tobacco, which we missed most. No
body was allowed to leave camp. We
were told that entering the city was
strictly forbidden. Chalons had paid
! war contribution and therefore no
one was permitted in the city.
We heard the dull sounds OF the
cannon In the distance and suspected
that our rest would be brief. The
rolling of gunfire continued TO grow
stronger. We did not know then that
a fight had begun which was destined
to become fatal to the Germans.
The first days battle of the Marine
had begun!

be impossible for us to hold the posi-

PLAN AIR POSTAL SERVICE

Of the First Innovations When

Airplane postal service will be one Of
the first innovations Of peace In Eng
land. The problem is already being
worked out In detail. even to the cost
Of postage and hours Of collection and
delivery. It Is also said that within
the first few months after peace d
transatlantic airplane service will be
established. Airplane engineers say
that the problem Of constructing O
machine for transatlantic flight has
been solved In theory. and machines
which would cross the Atlantic could
be built to-day IL 1t were not that the
long distance buses Of war time must
also be heavy weight carriers. The
most interesting result OF these peace
plans is that It has been found pos
slble to arrange the collection and de-
livery Of letters between London and
Glasgow with such dispatch that cor.
respondent In London will be able to
receive q written answer within the
working day. Applied to the middle

ONLY CHANGE IN MACHINERY
Hand Knitting Now Done In Exactly
the Same Manner as II Was Many
Centuries Ago.

There are a few touches Of huuor
In the countryside revival of knitting,
such as the over-large and the enviOus
feminine group about the lady who,
with practlced skill, deftly turns the
heel of a sock, but behind It all IS a
fine display of service, says writer IN
the Detroit Free Press. When you
see sweater or muller in process Of
evolution 1t may interest you to know
that the work is being done just about
as 1t was when the art was in its In
fancy. There have been great improve
ments In knitting machinery, however,
and the first of them was directly due
to somewhat common Rlalady-un-
reciprOcated love.
The Rev. William Lee Of Cambridge
university, as the story goes, was deep
" smitten with a maiden OF his native
town, marlborough, Nottinghamshire
but In spite Of his ardent woolng could
make no impression. The fair one
calmly kept on with her knitting, then
the common occupation Of English
women.
In revenge Reverend William swore
he'd invent a machine which would de-
strOy the market for hand work. He
kept his word, but Queen Elizabeth re-
fused to grant patent and to give her
financial support because too many Of
her subjects would be deprived Of their
means Of livelihood. So the inventor
took his machine to France. This
story may be entirely fanclful, but in
1889 William Lee did revolutiOnize
hosiery making by producing the knit
ting frame or stocking frame. Amert-
can names In the list Of those who
have labored TO perfect knitting ma
