n n AKING . war garden 10 just
MI one blamed thing after an
4" other. may have said that
4 i before, but it's just as true,
IL not truer, than when said
1t first.
During the past week I have been
doing the same kind of work started
on with last spring-zspading and
planting. l have thought two or three
times that was done with planting.
Tut each time I have found was mis-
taken. 1 haven't yet attained a stage
of 'intensiveness" where I am grow
ing three crops on the same ground.
but 1 am growing a second crop on a
good part of my garden space.
When l entered upon this garden ad-
venture mapped out program which.
in the profundity of my ignorance. I
imagined was a model for all future
gardening programs. That program
looks funny today. 1t has been shot
as full of holes as has Won Hinden-
burg's program of entering Paris.
You may recall that early in the
game l had great scheme for plant
ing navy beans between the rows of
sweet corn at the last cultivation OF

and so far as have proof to the con-
trary 1t may be as good as 1t sounded;
hut ] was handed so many predictions
of dire disaster that l decided to let
some other gardener make the expert
ment. The thing that discouraged me
most was the argument that the beans.
being shaded in their infancy by the
corn. would grow spindling. and then.
when the corn was cut. they would not
have sufficient vitality to withstand the
hot sun.
When Fred Turner. my war garden
partner, surrendered to me his rights
in good piece of our joint land hold
irg. it gave me plenty of room to plant
my beans elsewhere. SO played safs
and abandoned the plan OF planting
them between the rows of coru.

which has provided practically all of
the officers holding high commands
in the Army of more than a million
men now in France or in command of
the troops in training to augment the
Army already over there.
The American soldier can be trained
rapidly, because he possesses initfa-
tive and the ability to comprehend
and execute instructions. but the fact
remains that II the troops now at the
front making proud records for the
country had been sent into action
twelve months ago with no more
training than they had then received
there would be a very different story
coming to US each day over the ca
bles. Although the victories of our
expeditionary force are gratifying, We
must not permit ourselves to forget
the lesson England had to learn
through her lack of preparedness, and
that the preservation of democracy
for all nations is due to the years of
preparation which France gave to her
magnificent army.

ters of the gulf and the Mediter-
ranean, it is not a fact when applied
to the rough and thick Atlantic and
North sea, for under the most favor
able conditions it is said to be i'm
possible to distinguish a submarine
at more than fifteen feet below the
surface. 1t is said that the subs"
while submerged. can detect by sound
the oncoming Of a steamer on the
surface. but 1t Is believed that it can
not locate it with any degree of def
niteness IL more than a mile away.
Some claim greatly superior instru-
ments for the subs but it is the
opinion of an officer well qualified to
speak that the instruments which the
Navy places on its surface boats will
find the sub long before the sub"
can find out where the ship on the
surface is.
The appearance of the German u
boat off the coast Of Massachusetts,
adds nothing either way to the ques-
pedo destroyed the San Diego. for a
presence of either of these destructive
forces. Some of the larger U-boats
are lifted to carry and plant as many
as thirty or forty mines, each heavy
enough to blow up a ship, but the
chances of the ships hitting one are
almost as small as that of a destroyer
to drift into a submarine on the sur
face charging its batteries in fog.
The ocean is a large place, which is
at once the U-boat's hope Of escape
and factor that reduces the chance
of planting a mine where a surface
boat will meet 1t in contact

WITH U-boats. or. more accurately,
r-boat of the Massachusetts,
coast people are again asking why it
is impossible to locate and destroy
these pests of the sea; or, If that can
not be done. why the submarines do
not accomplish more damage than
they actually do. The answer is found
at once In the limitations of the boats
themselves and in those of their
would-be attackers. Difficulties In the
way Of giving U-boats increased en-
gtne power while they are submerged
confines their underwater speed to
about It's present maximum. and when
they are found on the surface their
vulnerabflity to attack from fighting
vessels makes 1t necessary for them
to keep away from danger. They can
not remain under water for a long
space of time. owing to the fact that
they must come to the surface to re-
charge their batteries, and then they
are in. danger If caught.
While under water they are prac-
tically undiscoverable. but as long as
they remain there they are. almost
harmless. for to use their guns or tor
pedoes they must come to the surface
or at least project their periscopes
above the surface. when they are at
once exposed to danger of sudden at
tack 1t was formerly thought that an
observer from an afrplane could make

THE ordnance department Of the
Navy has contributed many guns
of all calibers to the ships of both the
United States and the allied naval and
mercantile vessels, and now 1t is
known that fits contribution to ord
nance for the land forces of all the
nations has been very considerable.
Some of the largest guns in the
American forces have come from the
U. s. Navy. and there is promise that
In the near future much more will
be heard of what this sea branch Of
the service is doing on land. Its
method of equipping at least one of its
unfts for this service is unique and
already has earned for itself the name
Of the Artillery Unit de Luxe The
guns. supposedly 12-fnch, are mounted
on railroad cars of special design and
are part of a train made for the
especial accommodation of the bat
terry personnel and supplies. Ameri-
can made sleepers and diners furnish
ed with all the comforts Of Nine
teenth Century Limited" house and
mel and move munitions and supplies
The use Of guns on carriaEes car
ried on cars is not new. Both French
and English have been doing it; but
the equipment of the train is said to
be an American idea and the excel
lent provision which it makes for the
personnel ought to result in even
greater efficiency for the unit than it
otherwise could attain. 1t is said to
be quite the envy of the other serv-
ices.

Bird Guided by Magnetism?

One of the many explanations that
have been offered to account for the
fact that migrating birds are abie 10
find their way by night and In cloudy
or foggy weather is that they are SEN
sitive, in some way. to currents OF ter
restrial magnetism, and therefore di-
rect their flight by the magnetic
meridians. This suggestion was put
forth by NJ. A. Thauzies, French
pigeon fancier, who declares that car
rier pigeons make poor flights during
the occurrence of magnetic storms. He
also asserts that the general use OF
wireless telegraphy has diminished the
reliability of these birds to a surpris-
ing extent.-Popular Science Monthly.

This medical man said much of the
malnutrition of children is caused by
war prices. He said that the dispar-

SEVEN LOAvES OF BREAD
FOR EVERY PERSON IN
u. S. SAVED FROM WASTE
Pamero and Thrsshermsn patrioti-
eaiiy Respond to Gail o. Feed
Administrator.

From information received By the
q. 8. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, II 10
now possible to announce with fair &C.
curacy the amount Of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods Of han.
ding. According to ohicial calcula.
tons, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 10000. 600 bushels Of wheat
with corresponding savings Of other
small grain harvested and threshed In
a similar manner. In addition. other
states, though unable to furnish fig.
ures. reported greatly reduced harvest
losses.
The figure for wheat alone IL equiv
alent to seven 0ne-pound loaves Of
bread for every person In the United
States and represents food that FORM
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While op-
portunities In this branch of conserva.
ton were large. the quantity Of grain
recovered surpasses early expecta.
ticns. It Is noteworthy also that re.
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation.
No conservation measure of the
Food Administration, 1t is declared,
has received more wholehearted sup
port than that pledged and rendered
by farmers and threshermen toward
reducing grain waste at Its source
