Many Americans do not eat enough
greens and sauad vegetables for their
health.
One of the best things about the gar
den is that it offers work suited to
each member of the family.

family with fresh vegetables through
the growing season.
A weed is any plant in the wrong
place. Vegetables too close together
are as injurious to each other as
weeds. Thin them out before they are
large enough to crowd.

Have your onions stuck up their

early in the spring-the earlier the
better. Seeding onions require the

1t is really surprising how much

crops can grown in the spaces be-

the average family may be grown be-

American Foreign Trade"

THE question that lies back Of Charles
4 M. Peppers book, American For
eign Trade, is whether or not the United
States is to become the worlds greatest
commercial nation. Mr.. Pepper, who was
at one time foreign trade adviser to the
Department of State and is the author Of
Tomorrow n Cuba, Panama to Patagonia
and other books, is too sensible a person
to- try to return an unqualified answer.
As he says at the outset, the war, which
seemed at first no more than an interlude
in the drama of international commerce,
turned out to be tragedy and the fore
runner of economic events of which the
outcome cannot be predicted. This coun-
try has become world power in COM
merce, and whether or not it will remain
SO will chiefly depend on whether we take
a purely domestic view of our foreign
trade or formulate and make effective a
world policy in respect of it.
A world policy would require us to
recognize "that exports are only one fac
tor in foreign trade; in other words, that
this is a question of mutual markets. 1t

II ERE is novel Of Lakeside, Chi
l. cago, so amazingly well done as
entirely to justify its publishers in the
belief that the author is discovery"
The book is The Other Side of the Wall.
The author is Henry Justin Smith He
is news editor of the Chicago Daily Ne,cs.
1t is his first novel. The present writer
has seen only one other thing from his
pen--a little Chicago sketch in the allan
tic Monthly some months ago.
Mr. Smith is one of those sympathizing
.bystanders who are much scarcer among
writers than among people generally. He
has keen eye, and the severe verdicts
which his intellect would lead him to dis
pense are half the time handed out only
in the form of a suspended sentence, be-
cause the just. intellect. is housed in the
same body with warmly human heart.
He writes little austerely. He is Geo.
nomical of words. But he gets the right
words and never misses his effect. You
think of good etching as you read him.
In the midst of commonplace scenery and
tiresome people he is able to introduce a
poetic touch. A lot Of deadly people are
having beach party. But over the lake
the moon was rising like naked
bather." Or look at this "At last, the
tall, chocolate colored Pennington, with
its medalions cleaning in tire monday
sun, and Jimmy, the second janitor, wash
ing windows" Everything there! No
wonder the novel concludes with an au-
thor's letter to Carl Sandburg. These
Westerners are going to save contemPo-
rary American literature by getting it
out of English wagon tracks and travel
ling on broad prairie of free style, free
technique, free subject matter and diff
ferent structure. Success to theml
The subject matter, in the instance of
The Other Side of the Wal, is stuff that
would have been the wreck of some very
experienced story tellers. Lakeside, as
Mr.. Smith paints it, is one of those ex-
crescences common to all large cities in
which every one lives beyond his means
and tries to Guido his neighbor. When
you say the giddy whirl you've said it.
Broadway is simple compared to the COM
pick inanity of life in Lakeside. The
elements of the story are not new; Mr..
Smith refuses to "touch up his people,
and the result is triumph for his method
of telling his story-utterly naturalistic,
human, without affectation, with sense of

ket. 1t involves understanding Of the
United States as lending country with
the opportunities and the responsibilities
that belong to creditor nation"
The basis of anything worth while in
this regard is necessarily information,
more information and then some more in
formation. And this Mr.. Pepper en-
deavors to supply. When he talks about
British trade policy, for example, he goes
back to Edmund Burke. When he talks
about American trade policy he goes be-
hind the period of the civil war for his
start. He properly lays emphasis, the
moment he comes to speak Of Russia, on
Constantinople as an international mart.
He devotes three chapters in twenty-one
to South America.
This is readable book. II is not
maze of statistics nor is it written in un-
Ineligible jargon. Any one with mod
crate knowledge of history and of trade
can read it and get things out of it. Foot
notes are few. The appendix contains
several American tariff provisions, the text
of our protectorate treaty with Hayti, and
some of Eastern agreements. There is a
good index.

This Lakeside is dominated by Barton

is story of young lovers, couple who
are in Lakeside but not of it. There is
also the story of a young married pair

perth to camp. In the last half of the
book we get training camp scenes,
though nearly always through the eyes of
one man, soldier in the making. They
are done with the same care and reserve
as Lakeside. The book defes any one to
lind single exaggeration in it. 1t is
without grip on the reader. 1t appeals
to his sense of veracity and of humor; of
reflection, too. But the reminder of

II envy Mr.. Kipling," he says, "h;s
copiOus and sonorous vocabulary, espe-
cially his neologisms; he writes with the
whole language, with the language of the
Bible, and with the language of the streets
He can do this, for he possesses the ink
pot which turns the vilest tin idiom into
gold.
"Mr. Kpling's world is barracks full
of oaths and clatter of sabres; but his
language is so copious, rich and sonorous
that one is tempted to say that none since
the Elizabethans have written so copi
ously. Shelley and Wordsworth, Lander
and Pater wrote with part of the Ian
guage, but who else, except Whitman, has
written with the whole language since the
Elizabethans? THE flannelled fool at the
wicket, the muddied oaf at the goal is
wonderful language. He writes with the

HOGAN & WHITE ARE
 SELLING TRUCKS
New Truck Concern Has Shown Remarkable Sales
 Records This Month

Frank c. Hogan and Harry c. White, of the Hogan and White Motor Truck company, have broken all records this week in the sales of International trucks Yesterday at noon they closed another deal with the Birmingham Transfer com pany for an International which brings this weeks sales to five trucks. The Birmingham Transfer company purchas- ed some International trucks over three years ago and after finding that the trucks gave splendid service and were operated economically phoned Mir Hogan and placed an order for another Inter national.
 That's the way they buy 'em.' says Frank Hogan and Harry White. we sell them the truck, it's so dependable that it backs our statement and in emergency cases we always back them with real International service and what more can a concern expect when tneif trucks are operating 36o days in the year We have truck experts who look after the service end of every 1nternatlona' truck in this territory and no owner can complain about service
 We have installed a transportation de- partment, where we will be glad to go into details regarding hauling problems, says MT Hogan, ''and no matter what kind of truck you are operating, we Will be glad to give you our advice free. We have had all kinds of experiences with motor truck problems and we are in position to state just what your individual requirements should be. You should know the high standard of the Interna- tional trucks"

Truck Associations
 Develop Transportation
Organization in Various Cities Estab. fish Central Offices, Garford
 Publication Reports

That transportation by truck has come to take it's place alongside of transpor tation by railroad is indicated by the or ganization of truck transportation asso- ciations in several of the larger cities says E, D. Johnston of the Consolidated Motor company, the new dealer of tn, Garford Motor Truck company.
 These associations have been founded by carriage and storage concerns, who utilize the motor truck in their daily business.
 The purpose of the associations is te promote and further in an organized systematic manner, transportation by truck Among their chief and initial ob jects is the establishment of inter-city truck systems and rural express lines.
 The associations by means of centrally conducted offices will aid it's members in eliminating. to a great extent, the possi bilities of an idle truck, under capacity load and light return loads.
 The offices, which serve as the nerve eenters for local truck activities, are be ing established in. prominent downtown locations. Records, operated on the reg istry book system and containing data on all trucks available each day, are kept on blackboards in the offices where they are accessible at all times.
 Through this plan, merchants and man ufacturers may obtain immediate truck ing service by a single call instead O. being forced possibly to call the several trucking concerns within the city.
 The plan therefore works not only to the mutual benefit of the members. but to the advantage of patrons.
 Toledo and Detroit carriage cocnerns re- gently have founded such associations and efforts are now being made to af fliate the two in order that the truck transportation efficiency between the two cities may be increased.

OLDFIELD TIRES
 GIVE MILEAGE
Jim We.ien Gives Some Tips on
 Tire Service

When you buy tires you buy certain number of miles of service, and that ser vice must be reliable and trustworthy a service upon which you can depend to carry your car through on rough road or smooth, fast driving or slow You want to be sure to get back when you start out. Oldfeld tires well deserve their name -"the most trustworthy tires built" Every part of the tire is made just little stronger, little more generous than mere necessity demands They are made to give reliable everyday service with that ample mara0h of safety which means absolute confidence.
 Each tire is made with two-cure pror cess which insures a uniform perfectly built internal structure. The tread is zinc-tempered, the toughest and most durable tread known. The studs on the anti-skid tire are thick and strong, and the design of the tread gives maximum traction with sl1idding reduced to neg iigible quantity.
 And most of all, every Oldfeld tire comes to you with the personal endorse ment of Barney Oldfield, who knows tires from every viewpoint, and whose years of practical experience >are built into Oldfeld tires.

 QUAKER TIRES
Local Concern Will Handle Popular
 Line for the State

< The w. s. Brown Mercantile company
 with display rooms at 2223-2225 Second lvenue, and 2305-23G7 Morris avenue, are low the principal distributors for Quaker ires in Birmingham and vicinity. For l number of years past these famous
 ires, popularly known all over the coun-
 ry, and especially throughout the south Is the Miles Cheaper" tire, have had many devoted users in Birmingham. In numerous instances reports have been made to tho Quaker City Rubber com pany, the manufacturers, of considera- ole excess mileage from these castings. Thi sis not unsual, for similar reports nave been received from all parts Of the country, especially in the far western ;tates, where nothing but rugged tire would yield mileage up to the adjust nent guarantees. Frequently users would write relative to what seemed to be won lerful excess mileage. The reason for this good mileage is largely due to the construction of these tires, the treatment of the rubber by a special process called tempered rubber" giving all the neces- sary toughness, elasticity and resiliency
 hat it is possible to get out of the finest rubber With ordinary care, users of quaker Tires will find no difficulty whatever m getting full mileage. At the same time these users will find that many ordinary tire troubles are elimi- hated by the use of these castings.
 The w. S. Brown Mercantile company is also able to supply Quaker tires and Quaker multi tubes in all sizes. These tubes are manufactured in a way that t is almost a physical impossibility for he least imperfection to exist. Quaker Multi-Tubes are made, as their name i'm dies, of layer upon layer of the finest
 ubber, the various sheets being vulcan
 .x.%- ra 1Ir nshed in either red or gray rubber to meet the fancy of the purchaser.

The Moral of Jutland

William O. Stevens in the Yale Review.
 The battle of Jutland, according to Jel-
 icoe, showed that the Germans had a better type of armor- piercing shell, better firing, better range-finding methods and devices, better search-lights. better smoke-screening devices, and a star shell"-unknown to the British-but in valuable for fighting at night. Apparent ly Jellicoe's purpose in making these as-
 onishing admissions is to justify the
 act that the Grand Fleet did not accom-
 ,lish more. For some of these defects he charges the reluctance of Parliament to appropriate more money, and Admiral Fiske. in a recent review, accordingly transfers the entire blame to the ''paci- fists of Parliament. But one can im- agine an M. P. calling this explanation "a bit thick" When was the nation in formed of all these amazing deficiencies in it's navy Who was responsible for the defective armour that sent the I'm defatigable.' Queen Mary and "In- vincible' to the bottom with such tragic suddenness? Who had accepted the in ferior type of she'll the inferior fire con- trol. the inferior methods of develop ment-and all the rest-giving England to understand that there were no better? The navy of1914, according to Pollen. was largely the work of Jellicoe himself. It looks indeed as if England had trusted her Admiralty "experts' to give in re- turn for the enormous sum spent on the navy the best that brains could devise, and those experts were caught mapping. It is not the first time. In the eish- teenth century, for instance, the English allowed the French to go far beyond them in the art of naval signalling, and it was chiefly due to the clumsy signal me- thods of the English that they lost the battle of the Virginia Capea, in 17s1. and with 1t America. c1e moral of these re- velations is two-fold first, that Britain should contrive to get a more progressive type Of officers into the Admiralty, and second, that 1t should create a better liaison between the navy and the nation that is paying for it and depending on it for the maintenance of it's liberties.
