GARDEN HABIT ALWAYS GOOD
Writer In New York Publication Comes
to the Front With Words Of
Great Wisdom.

The garden habit, once acquired, will
never leave you. Good soil and culti-
walton are the chief essentials. The
back yard is highly taxed property.
Why not make 1t pay for itself in
pleasure and profit to you, especially
in these war times, when we need to
conserve and utilize everything? We
are constantly calling for more parks,
more breathing spaces, in one longest
ed city. Why not use those we have?
This has been done with in
Chicago and Baltimore. Let us do 1t
here.
Encourage your children to make n
little garden In your back yard. 1t will
prove safer than the streets and more
healthful than the movies. We need
more beauty, and here both S and
beauty may be combined. for In n
back yard In this city enough lettuce,
radIshes and parsley were grown to
furnish the table for a whole summer,
and so combined with the plants and
flowers as to be harmonious in color.
Shrubs, trees and grass spray out
moisture into the air, which diminishes
dryness and dust and renders the place
where they are more h%ealthful. We
have neglected u back yards too
long. Shall we improve them now

WELCOME YOUR NEW Conner
Best Possible Method to Insure Ones
Community Being Noted for Its
Hospltable People.

Do you want your community to be
noted for its hospitality Then the
best way to get such a name, is to well
come each newcomer as an old friend,
met after a long separation.
OF course you can't slap the new
conner on the shoulder, saying, "Hello
Jim, old boy, I'm glad to see you back"
No. let us greet them In a different
way.
Instead, let several families In the
immediate neighborhood find out at
which time the newcomer will arrive.
Then let each family decide on some
one or two dishes to contribute to the
strangers first meal. When the hour
agreed on arrives, let each neighbor
send or carry her dish to the new
Corners, as a token of greetings and
welcome into the neighborhood.
In this way the strangers will feel
much more at home than If all the
neighbors had dressed in their best,
and stiffiy called in the usual way.

Old Custom Kept Up.

Ringing for Gofer" is n unique GUS
tom confined to Newark parish church,
England. It has lasted 800 years. 1t
is said that a wealthy merchant named
Gofer lost himself in the woods which
then surrounded Newark, and. as he
carried much money and the forest
was infested with thieves, he was in
danger of his life. Suddenly he heard
the bells of Newark, and was guided
home by their music. To commemo-
ate his escape, he left a goodly sum to
the church on condition hat the bell
ringers ring for "Gofer" every year on
Sunday nights in October and Novem-
Der.

In Chicago n three weeks drive for
lsed clothing, to be sen to the desti-
ute Belgians, has just been completed.
Hr. Hoover, head of the Belgian relief
commission, engaged the help of the
Bed Gross organization In making this
Arive and 1t was put through with the
igor and thoroughness that Chicago
develops when Its 81 VIII" spirit is
troused. Twenty-Five carloads OF cloth
pg was the amount asked Of this
branch Of the drive and Mrs, Samuel
/. Chase was chosen to take charge of
is collection as chairman of the COM
6lttee who put the drive through.
Besides the fact that the committee
got what 1t went after, this drive is In
ieresting because of many incidents
which show where Americans of all
tlasses stand in this matter of caring
Tor the unfortunate and the destitute
N this war. The committee secured Il
arge downtown storeroom, which was
vacant, and made newspaper and other
announcement inviting contributors
10 bring their bundles of used clothing
here. The bundles came by the auto
mobile load-where owners of cars con-
lributed them for collecting the cloth
ng-to the single package brought in
by people on their way to work who
deposited their contributions and went
on to their tasks. Everything-from
tur coats and Paisley shawls to sun
oonnets of ancient vintage-came in re-
Gponse to the call, but most of the
clothing was practical and good.
On n bright day a man came Tn and
look off a very good %Overcoat, reveal
ing n pair of overalls beneath-and
handed over the coat, remarkIng that
be could spare 1t. Another interesting
contributor was an old lady whose son
N the service had sent 80 to buy flow
srs for her for Easter. She contrib
lted these 80 to the Belgian relief as
the better way to use 1t. Men slipped
n and left contributions OF money, re-
iusing to give their names.
To sort and pack all the clothing
. required many workers. Some OF the
big department stores sent over help.

Chemical Generator FOR Hot Water.

1t has been shown that a certain
combination Of salts brings about the
generation of heat. By applying this
chemical phenomenon a cheap and ef-
ficlent warming bottle may be formed,
writes S. Leonard Basin in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
First of all, mix together sodium
acetate and sodium hyposulphate in
water, using one part of the former to
nine parts of the latter salt. There
should be n sufficient quantity of these
materials to fill the earthenware bottle
three parts full. The vessel should now
be loosely stoppered and placed either
In hot water or in an oven until the
salts have completely dissolved.
For many hours after this the bottle
will radiate considerable heat. To re-
new the thanksgiving properties it is
only necessary to give the bottle q
good shaking.

It is In a wedding procession.
Another little frock of net has a
skirt made in the same way as this,

1t is set on, with shocking to n short

The net sleeves are full and elbow

Advice About Brick Houses.

From a constructive standpoint the
nonfireproof brick house Is very sim
liar to the frame except that the out
side walls are of masonry and that the
floor framing in each story should be
carried on steel beams and columns so
that the inside supports may be as free
from s%hrinkage as the walls. In the
freproof house floors and roof are Of
tile or concrete md steel. 1t is never
desirable to plaster directly on the in
side of a brick wall. Lath and plas-
ter should always be placed on fur
ring strips so rs to give an air space
between plaster and brick. All brick
work mex the ground, in chimneys
above roofs, parapet walls, dOrmers,
etc, should be laid in cement mortar.

Just how early in life a satisfaction
In pretty clothes dawns on the eternal
feminine mind, is one of those interest
the trouble to get definitely answered.
But we know 1t is m of the earliest
Of Joys and the most lasting. In
the picture above q little maid of fl e
seems to be discovering her party
frock. Life is one continual round of
more or less dainty clothes for her,
and h finds herself on n special oc-
casion in something more flmy and
frtlly than she has noticed before.
This little party frock is made of
One white net and trimmed with a lit
tie narrow Val lace insertion and edg-
Ing. The skirt is full, finished with
q hem and tuck at the bottom, and
no other trimming. 1t is set onto a
very short waist having many fine
f1cks running from shoulder to waist
Band and a flounce extending below
me ~waistband. This hounce is finished
with a row of Val insertion finished
with a scant frill of Val edging. The
square neck is finished In the same
&ay.
> httle dresses of this kind are some-
times decked out with gay ribbon ro-
eettes, but they have been left off Of
this one; perhaps this accounts for q
strand of small pearl beads that make
the little wearer very splendid. The
aress is worn over n lace-trimmed pet
hdoat, with several rows of Val inser-
ton set in n fine lawn skirt and n frnl
Of Val edging at the bottom. Now
that the requirements of flower girls
IND other youthful attendants on the

A smart blouse of striped dimity Is
cut upon tailored shirt lines, with two
narrow box plaits at either side of the
opening in front. AT each side of

inserts of wide heavy beading. The
straight rolling collar has lines of
beading inset in the same fashion, and
is finished by an inch-wide hem of dou-
BILE dimity. Smart little cuffs of alter
mating bands of dimity and lines of
beading finish the tailored sleeves.

So far official and semi official state

can be hidden from the German people
Quotations from the newspapers show
that the authorities think II we'll that
the period Of wild, unbridled sneering
at and despising Americans as an actual
factor In the western front must gradu-
ally be brought to a close.
Information comes from Germany TO
the effect that the attitude OF the peo-
pie toward the offensive has become one
Of stubborn and unenthusiastic waiting.
The question which is being frequently
asked is, Where are the Austrians?'
indeed it cannot be hidden from the
people that Austria has not lived and Is
unable to live up to the promises made
by her statesmen on the eve Of the
offensive.

NO EXTENSION
IN DRAFT AGE
Present Provision Satisfies
Military Requirements.
Baker Says.
MILLION NEW MEN \ YEAR
Conscription Treaty Between
L. s. and Britain Affects

MILLION NEW MEN A YEAR
Npf~Ji D,sp1tch 10 THy SCS


WASH ISGroN, June 13.--1n view OF
was TO ask modification OF the draft law
and extend the present age l.mi. Secre-
tary OF War Baker to-day authorized
the statement that no such plan was
under consideration
The present provision FOR drafting
men between the ages OF y ana 81 sat
isfies military requirements and there
is no need whatever. Il is explained. 20
look beyond these age limits now or in
the near future Mr. Baker would be
opposed 10 any proposition 20 extend
the age limit at present Toy the reason
that he regard. this as entirely unneces-
sary.
1t became known to-day that the
treaty negotiated between the United
States. Great Britain aud Canada re-
garding conscr!pt!ng and enlistment
provides for the drafting OF British sub
jects in the United States between the
ages of 81 and 40.
This treaty. which must now be rati-
fled by the Senate. was slightly modified
TO make draft laws more or less uni
form il all the countries involved. ard
this led to reports thai the United
States Government contemplated raising
Il e age limit TO 80 in order TO conform
to tie British man power law, which
conscripts between the ages OF Is and 90.
1t is explained at the War Department
that II raising the draft age at this
time would hasten tie winning of tho
war or serve a useful military purpose
there would be no hesitancy in recon-
mepding II.
The available man power between the
ages OF 81 and 81 has not been exhaust
ed nor has the cali to the colors OF men
witt in these age limits reached a point
where II appears necessary TO look be-
yond. Each year brings upward OF
100000 new men TO availability for
service by the fact that approximately
this number becomes OF age annually.
