War Gardens Thretened.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 12.-Thous
snds of Atlanta war gardeners last
night used up all the newspapers in
the city covering vegetables and ten
Ger young plants to protect them
against the biting cold wind and a
probable frost which has been threat
ening to lay the city's gardens low
for several nights.
Apparently the season is progress
ilg backward in Atlanta so far as the
weather is concerned. Men are wear
ing overcoats and women have re
turned to winter wraps and furs. Fur
naces have been fired again in thous
ands Of homes. The coal wagons o!
the dealers are running every day al
most like winter OF course a part
OF the latter is due to the fact thai
people are buying their coal now, in
stead of waiting until cold weather
but a great deal of coal is being used
10 keep the people warm.

CASTOR OIL MAKING

Farmers and manufacturers OF the
country have been asked to speed up
the production of castor oil for use
in the fabrication of flying machines

which these machines encounter in
constant transitions from low to high
elevations they must have a lubri-
cant which will flow under all con-
ditions of temperature and atmos-
pheric pressure, forming thin film
over every bearing and which will not
carbonize Castor oil has been found
