Factory workers in an Ohio town,
last year, earned money during spare
time at the rate Of 92 cents an hour.
That would be $736 for an eight-hour
day, $220.80 a month. $2,649.60 a year.
That is good deal more than a fair
profit on idle hours.
What were they doing? Working in
home gardens, growing vegetables
that they and their families ate. Tho
manufacturing concern FOR which they
worked during regular hours kept an
accurate record of the time the men
spent working in the gardens and the
value Of the garden stuff grown.
This matter isn't news, particularly.
It is nearly nine months old. But it
does seem worth mentioning just now
by way Of calling the attention Of the
industrial workers of the nation to
the fact that time spent working home
gardens is not time thrown away, that
the hour they spend morning or eve
ming working the garden yields better
returns than any hour they put in in
the factory.

SUBMARINE MENACE
is DWINDLING FAST

to make the passage Of conveys across
the Atlantic and North sea secure. The
greatest percentage of losses by sub
marines since January l has been in
the Mediterranean and this is now be-
ing reduced by increasing the number
Of destr0yers in those waters. No sub
marine commander will risk attack on
a convoy which Is protected on all four
sides by destroyers and frequently ac-
companled by seaplanes.
Naval experts are confident that
when there are sufficient destroyers to
escort all conveys required to trans
port troops and munitions from Amer
lea to England and France the subma-
rine peril will be practically at an end.
This stage should be reached by Au-
gust. AT the present time the U-bOats
watch and wait for vessels which are
alone.
The sinking Of vessels in the Irish
sea has been due to the fact that the
water there is muddy and not too deep,
and submarine can lie on the bottom
and come up at night. Quite recently,
in two instances, when steamships
were torpedoed in the Irish sea, de-
stroyers blew one U-boat to pieces with
a depth charge and damaged the other
one so seriously before she could sub
merge that the commander surren-
dered with his crew.
Pilots of seaplanes and airplanes
who fly over the waters around the
British Isles have reported numbers of
submarines which were sunk months
ago and are lying on the bottom Of the
channel and North sea.
In addition to destroyers and patrol
boats which scour the surface in every
direction, there are all kinds Of traps
and obstacles placed under water
which make the passage of Dover

The Hospitable Gate
BY ABBlE FARWELL BROWN
of The ViglIantes.

Millions entered by that Hospitable
Gate which America left open to the
strangers from all lands. Millions of
the poor, the friendless, the war
weary, to whom America offered pros
perity, friendship and peace. They
came from the ends of the earth. Ser
bians, Greeks, French, Russians, Ital-
ians, Armenians, Poles--a hundred
races and more jostled over the
threshold. We welcomed them all
too readily, some thought, fearing for
our 'unguarded gates" as one poet
called them. Many had not, as an
other poet accused, sufficient faith In
the miscalled "scum of the earth"
Many Of these became citizens, and
in turn helped to order the affairs of
the great government which had
opened its door to them. Some re-
manned aliens. But all profted by our
laws and opportunities.
There came war! The worst war
which the world has ever known. A
war Of right against wrong; and pres
emily America was in 1t. But first
by thousands our friends went back
through the Hospltable Gate. Serbian3,
Greeks, Russians, French, Italians
how many more returned to the
countries they had never renounced,
to fight for the freedom of small ma.
tions against a tyrant foe who threat
ened the very existence of liberty.
Out of our Hospitable Gate they went,
back to the ends of the earth; carry
ing to the desperately fighting lands
the news of what American democracy
means. They bore living witness of
the American idea to the struggling
small nations. In the martyred small
nations they are spreading the. gospel
of American brotherhood and hope.
In the trenches of Belgium; in the
hideous German prisons where Rus
sian, Polish, French, Italian, English
prisoners are huddled, there is secret
talk of what America does for her
friends; of her strength, power and
generosity.
1t will not be forgotten. Echoes will
be whispered when their poor lips are
dumb. Serbian exiles talk it over in

The Wall Of the Injured.

Two brothers, Angus and Duncan,
who worked a small farm, had the
misfortune to lose by death their sis
ter, who was their housekeeper. They
tried to do the homework themselves
for time, but it wasn't a success. so
one day Angus, the elder, said to his
brother: Duncan, wen need to look
ABBOTT an see if We Gamma get wife,"
ma, ma replied Duncan; 'you are
the Oldest, Angus, an the farm be-
longs to you"
"But you are likely to live longest,
Duncan" continued Angus, $50 you'd
better be the ane to TAX a wife,"
"Oh, ay!" said Duncan reslgnedly;
tits aye the same way here; when
ever there's any thankless job to be
done it's me that has TO do it."

straits and exit from Heligoland blight
a very complicated problem for a
U-boat commander to solve. Hundreds
Of mine sweepers, manned by fisher
men and sailors from the merchant
service, are at work day and night
making the ocean lanes safe for steam
ships belonging to the allies and neu-
trail nations. Their crews have become
adopts In the art of finding and ex-
ploding German mines hidden below
the surface.
During the year ending in April more
than 1000 mines, which cost $1,000
each to construct, were exploded or
captured by the British mine sweepers.
The loss Of mine sweepers was very
small in comparison. In one instance
a mine sweeper found a German mine
drifting in the North sea, and towed 1t
over well in toward the mouth Of Elbe
under cover of fog. After pumping 1t
up the crew set the mine 20 feet below
the surface, and II hours later 1t was
struck by a German steamship bound
for Gothenberg from Bremen, and the
vessel and her cargo of iron ore went
to the bottom.
The increasing hazard against SUBJ
marines ever returning to port is max
ing it difficult for the German admir-
atty to get crews to man them.

tom Of English Channel and North
Sea Mine sweepers do Good
Work.

LondOn.-The menace of the Ger
man submarines and mines to the
maritime commerce Of the allies is be-
coming less week by week. The inn
provement is due chiefly to the devel-
Opment of the listening devices and the
depth bombs carried on the swift-mov-
ing destroyers. The hydrophone is the
most useful invention that has been
discovered by the navy in its antisub-
marine crusade, and it Is being Inn
proved upon all the time.
When U-boat is spotted from aloft
by one Of the alert observers in the
seaplanes which wing their flight over
the North sea and the waters around
the British Isles, he signals the posi-
ton to the nearest destroyer. Direct
ly he gets this information her COM
mander steams at full speed in the dl-
rection indicated until he can hear the
submarine plugging along under water.
The destroyer follows the U-boat for
hours, If necessary, until the COM
mander thinks he has got the enemy in
the right position for hit, and then
lets go the bomb.
While the number of enemy under
sea craft that are sunk or captured
each month is not given out for publi-
cation it is known that it equals the
construction Of submarines in Ger
many. The greatest blow to German
hopes of destroying the commerce of
the allies on the ocean lies in the con-
voy system, which Is rapidly approach
ing perfection. When the plan Of es-
corting transports and supply ships
right across the Atlantic In large fleets
was first tried out there was consid-
cradle delay on account Of difference
In speed of the various ships Of which
It was composed.
At the present time conveys are all
classified according to speed, and a
fast transport can make a round trip
in 80 days, while the slower class of
supply ships drift across the ocean at
a steady SIX or seven-knot gait.
The number of British and American
destroyers has increased rapidly and
Is still growing so that there are plenty
Of these essential watchdogs Of the sea

Care Of Young Horses,

Give the weanlings and immature
horses good care. The colts should
be given an ample supply of grain and
good roughage in order that they may
mature into useful work horses. The
saving of grain should be made with
the idle mature horse and not with
the colt. There are many economical
rations that can be fed to both young
and mature stock, depending on the
local feeds available. Write to your
state experiment station for informa-
ton regarding the most economical ra-
tons to be fed in your state. Also
write to the United States department
of agriculture for Farmers Bulletin
S03, which gives information on the
feeding and management Of young
horses.

inexpensive Garden Tools

The cultivation Of a home garden
requires very little expenditure liz
TOOLS A spade, a hoe, and rake, rep
resenting a total cost Of considerably
less than IS, are all the bought tools
necessary to be used. Everything else
can be improvised. A garden line can
be made with a piece Of Irvine tied to
two sharpened sticks that serve as
stakes. A thin piece of board or a
shingle can be made into a service
able trowel. A good scratcher and
weeder can be made by driving about
three small nails Though the end Of
a piece Of lath. A heavier weeder can
be made from a piece of hoop iron,
with one end sharpened, bent into a
loop.
