GARDEN LESSON No. 33.

Every fair-sized home garden
should have a row of popcorn for
next winters popping. This in ad-
dition to the sweet corn for roast
ing ears.
Popcorn is planted when the ground
gets warm, in rows about two feet
apart, the plants standing eight to
twelve inches distant.
Should some seed fail to come up,
plant again in vacant ground.
Popcorn needs no other care after
1t starts growing than thorough and
frequent hoeing. being careful not
to cut near the stalks. Just mulching
the soil between the plants and rows
is enough. This should be done every
week.
Sweetcorn needs the same treat
ment, but should stand slightly far
ther apart, as it grows higher than
most popcorn varieties.
Gardeners with large vacant lot gar
dens may have enough space to Srow

new CARS APPROVED
FOR Use AS TRAILERS
Orders for Forty-6ve Placed for Use
in District Streets.

The public utilities commission
officially approved designs for
forty-five new cars for the Capital
Traction and WASHINGTON Railway
and Electric Companies yesterday.
The cars will be practically iden-
ticaI in type and will cost about
$1,000 apiece. They are designed
so that they may be operated in
trains of two.
Consulting Engineer John A.
Beeler, working on anti-ConECStion
measures for the local traffic situa-
ton, has recommended the use of
trains when practicable. for reduc-
ing traffic congestion.
The Capital Traction Company
has bids in for twenty of the new
cars and the other twenty-five are
to be bought by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.

According 10 c. Frank Stlllman, the
electrical engineer who installed the
model of the New York International
Exposition in the waiting room of
Union Station last Tuesday. New
York City has laid plans for becoming
the clearing house of trade relations
between this country and the Central
and South American republics.
The great exposition in process Of
completion there possesses more sig
ntflcance than most persons lima gine. 3"
said Mr.. Stillman, just previous to
his departure for New York yester-
day afternoon.
The grounds cover thirty acres
lying between the Bronx river and
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railway line, and this exposition
will be permanent in character and
operate to cultivate the most intimate
commercial relations among nations
OF this western hemisphere.
I'm short, the idea is to make these
grounds a sort OF clearing house for
the products OF the North American,
Central American and South Ameri-
can countries. and with that object
in view, displays will be invited from
every section affected.
There does not seem to be any
doubt such an undertaking will oper-
ate in a beneficial way to every sec
tion of the United States and Canada,
as well as the Southern Republics,
and enable us to throw off the grasp
that Germany held on our trade be-
fore the war.
Chill, Brazil and the Argentine
Republic already have entered into
the spirit of the matter. and sent in
teresting exhibits. We have promises
from other countries, and a feature
of the exposition will be the palace
of American achievements showing

stage as is sweet corn. but is allowed
to mature on the stalk, and may be
shelled and cracked for chickens
which will reduce your poultry feed
bills.
Okra. or gumbo. belongs to the corn
family, and is grown in much the
same way. 1t should have even more
space than field corn as it is a great
space occupier. The rows should be
at least four feet apart. and the plants
may stand two or three feet dis
tant.
Okra grows better in the South, as
1t needs warm weather and plenty OF
it. In the North 1t may be started in
hotbeds and indoor seedboxes, being
transplanted when warm weather
comes. The pods are cut when still
tender and pulpy and used for soups
and stews.
There are varieties Of dwarf okra,
maturing earlier. which may be grown
in Northern sections. These may be
planted in lows two or three feet
apart and ten to twelve inches dis
tant in rows.

M. A. Ballinger, Turned
Down for This Corps,
Looks for Army Job.

There does not seem TO be any
closed season for outstanding pa
triotism these days II some of the
incidents seen in the local recruiting
stations are any criterion.
A man giving the name Of NJ. A.
Ballinger. and his age as Il. ap-
piled yesterday at the main recruit
ing station OF the United States
Marine Corps and made an effort to
enlist. He Is described by the re-
cruiting officers as quite robust In ap-
pearance, and when told that his ad-
vanced years would prevent them
from taking him, seemed keenly dis
appointed. He declared he was
capable OF keeping his end up not
withdrawing his being in the near
octogenarian class.
Was In Dead Earnest.
Balllnger appeared to pc in dead
earnest about joining the Marine
Corps. declaring that he was anx-
ious to do something for his coun-
try. and that he thought by placing
Oh q "dI lOOllHB hC "Oulu
be able to accomplish this purpose.
After announcing that IL he had
the making of the laws he would
put every male person between IL
and 75 years of age in the con-
scription list. and find a place for
them all in some capacity or other
try. the loyal old man started out
he a rarrtUif n q
stations, still bent on obtaining a
uniform.
Ballinger refused TO state where
he came from or anything further
except that he was ready to answer
here" whenever Uncle Sam needed
him, and that the woods were full
of men of his type.
Another instance OF loyalty ap-
peared yesterday at the main re-
| cruiting station OF the navy, COG
Ninth street northwest, when Rev
Hammack. superintendent OF the
Virginia conference of The Church
of the United Brethren in Christ
| at Dayton. Va. brought his young
son, Dwight r. Hammack. who lost
no time in enlisting in the Hospi-
tai Corps of the navy for the du-
! ration OF war.
I've got another one back home,
| said Rev. DIR. Hammack. and yoU
are welcome to him whenever hi:
services are required by our govern
ment."
Young Hammack was employed II
a motor works at Detroit, when ht
| conceived the idea of enlisting in tht
| navy. He said that about thirty o.
his classmates in Sunday school haC
responded to the call. practically al
having gone into the navy.
To show his own patriotic spirit
young Hammack quit his job anC
struck out for home. with the result
| stated.
| Giving Bible Good Idea.
Rev. Mr.. Hammack was much i'm.
pressed with the idea of giving hi:
son tho Bible upon which he tool
his oath OF allegiance. He insisted
upon Ensign ]. Frew Hall. the officer
in charge of the recruiting station, in
