SalVaalna Coal.

Hartford Courant: 1t is asserted
by way Of Bridgeport that a million
tons of coal are lying under the
waters of Long Island sound and the
suggestion Is made that a consider
able part of it may be salvaged.
1t seems reasonable in view Of the
fact that the difference in price be-
tween bar silver and anthracite coal
is rapidly decreasing and is now at
point where salvaging of coal
ought to be profitable undertaking.
1t will be nothing new, for it had

CHAPTER VII

For one glorious happy week we
were at Atlantic City. / never had
even seen the ocean before, and at
first / was like child with a new
toy. I recall, the first time we walked
On the sand, l ran and dipped my
hands in the water, wetting my feet
and the bottom of my skirt in my en-
thusiasm.
The board walk, with its crowds
of beautifully gowned women and
handsome, well-groomed men fascinat-
ated me. The quaint shops with their
gay windows beguiled me often to
spend so long a time gazing. that
Neil would pull me away laughingly
and say:
You can look in shop windows all
you want in New York while / am
at the Office. Come and talk to me
now"
Occasionally we took a chair and
spent an hour being rolled up and
down by a grinning darby Play
ing we were millionaires," Neil call
ed it. But mostly we walked arm in
arm, talking of the future, our home
together, and of our love for each
other which nothing ever could pos
sibly change.

hotels and living on the American

again laughing at me.
I said no more about money until
the day we left Atlantic City. Neil
had asked to have the bill sent up to
the room. When it came he had
gone out for something and I looked
at it. At first / was tempted to call
the boy back and tell him he had
made a mistake. But l was still timid
with the pert pages who swarmed
about the big hotel, so laid it on the
bureau until Neil came up.
Did that bill come up? We haven't
much time" he said, looking at his
watch.
Eyes, but it isn't right, 1t must be-
long to someone else"
Bother! we will miss our train if
we are delayed very long" He picked
up the bill and quickly ran it over.

HUSBAND SAYS
MRS. GILBERT
FEARED GRAVE

ATLANTA, Feb 4.-Was Mrs. Lois
Bright Gilbert, who killed herself on
John Henry Abbott's grave, a friend
of Abbott. or did she kill herself in
a fit of dependency caused by her
fear that tuberculosis was going to
conquer in the long fight she had been
waging against it?
Both of these theories are being ad-
vanced here, with newspaper support
of each theory, and there is a very
lively degree of interest in the spec
ulation which the public is indulging
1t is known that a photograph OF
Mrs. Gilbert seated at the wheel OF
her cut-down racing car was found
in the locker of Abbott at fireshead-
quarters, when detectives searched
his locker on the morning after his
wife killed him, and this would seem
to indicate that he and the young wo-
man were good friends.
On the other hand, her husband
maintains that she was not even &C
quainted with him, although she may
have admired his daring and skill as
the driver of the fire chiefs autOmo-
bile, which Abbott drove through the
crowded city traffic at a reckless rate
of speed. He maintains that the
girl was in a slough of despondency
because she believed that she had lost
in her long fight against tuberculosis
which killed her mother and heI
brother, and which she was trying tC
ward off by spending her time in the
cut-down automobile.

PLAN THE WAR GARDEN NOW
More Food Than Ever Before Should
Be Raised by Amateur Growers
This Year.

The ending OF the war has placed
additional obligations on the American
people. We have not only our friends
the allies to feed, but our former enc
mics must also be kept from starva-
ton.
The larger part of the people of the
evacuated regions are destitute; they
must have food and this country is
the only place it may be had in suf-
fcient quantities. This means that
we win be asked to get along with less
meats, fats, grains and sugar and
make up the difference with things we
ran grow in our own gardens. The
home gardens Of America must be re-
lied upon for larger proportion Of
our living than ever before.
Potatoes, beets, carrots, peas, corn
and tomatoes are among the most i'm
portant garden crops from a food
standpoint. Radishes, lettuce, onions,
cucumbers, turnips, squash, cabbage,
caulifiower, spinach, parsnips, egg
plants, peppers. ETC., add to the va
riety.
Potatoes. peas, beets and carrots
can be planted almost as soon as the
frost Is out Of the ground, and then
can be followed by the more tender
crops as soon as the ground has be-
come reasonably warm.
When there is sufficient room an
asparagus bed should be planted, also
rhubarb and the small fruits, particu-
iarly raspberries.
Larger grounds afford room for
grapes, blackberries, currants, goose
berries, strawberries and possibly a
few apples. peaches, pears, cherries
and plums-and the children especial
" enjoy and thrive on plenty of fresh
fruit.

GOING DRY.
BY Walt Mason.

This land of ours is going dry, the
grogshops close their swinging doors,
and soon the man who wants old rye
will have to swim to foreign shores.
John Barleycorn has met his fate, he's
being pushed clear off the map; and
we must learn to celebrate with spar
king water from the tap. There is no
ginmill In the vale, there are no gin
mills ON the hills; dry people call for
Adams ale, and fill themselves with
babbling rills. The workman buys a
house and lot with money that he used
to blow for trimming bowls of liquor
rot, that filed his head and soul with
woe. Tired father laps up sparkling
brooks, instead of seeking gilded halls.
and has some coin to spend for books,
and pictures for the parlor walls. The
young man hits the village pond, when
thirst has given him the blues; and
then he buys q. S. bond which is a
better thing than booze. The war has
killed the Demon Rum, has been a
boar and deadly frost; and men will
say, in years to come, the war was
worth whate'er 1t cost. The ginmill
shuts Its latticed doors, the red-nosed
patrons don't crowd in; the jeweled
barkeeper no more pours rain water
in the key Of gin. The thirsty man
thinks not of beer, but to the nearest
hydrant tramps and quaffs fiagon
bright and clear, then buys himself
War Savings stamps.
