CHILDREN PLANT
 GARDEN ON ROOF

Chicago, April 17.-(Special )-The mos novel roof garden in America is being planned for the top of the Lexington hotel, Michigan boulevard and Twenty second street, Chioago. It has often been suggested that this would be an ideal spot for tea garden or garden cafe, with the broad expanse of Lake Michigan in the immediate background.
 But this new garden idea is not for that kind of recreation or entertainment This is to be a flower nnd vegetable gar den and it will be planted by little Cath crime Mack, the 7-year-old daughter Of Herman Mack, proprietor of the Lexing- ton. It will be recalled that this little girl was officially recognized by the govern ment before the close of the war for her efforts in collecting peach stones for the gas defense division of the United States army. Little Miss Mack's garden will be 150 feet above ground, probably the high est in Chicago. Her father is having lV garden boxes made each 10x12 feet. with a depth of P inches. These will be filled with selected earth and under the direc- tion of an expert five of these boxes VIII be filled with perennials and the other five with vegetable seeds from prize stock, including lettuce, peas, beans, radlsnes and tomatoes.
 All of the children in the hotel will be invited to participate in the garden lessons the little Mack girl will be given, and all of the vegetables will be used on the tables of the guests whose children par ticipate in the entertainment. Speaking of the idea, MT. Mack says: There IS an acre of available space on that roof. and I don't like to see it wasted. Hotels, as rule, offer but little more than 4"9 permanent guests and several youngsters among them. It was with this Idea ID mind that I am putting in the roof gar den-to furnish pnctical recreation for the youngsters. The roof is surrounded

with the War Risk Bureau, and they
are coming in at the rate of / 900 a
day.
More than $4,000 have been listed
by the Federal Board Of Vocational
Training for rehabilitation
Only 2,579 are actually in training,
although the war ended six months
ago.
Where are the rest7 Enmeshed in
slow routine of governmental proceed
ure, they are waiting, receiving in the
meantime neither pay nor training.
This procedure requires from two to
five months.
The Vocational Training Board is ad-
ministratively entirely Independent of
the War Risk Bureau, but the law
charges it with the rehabilitation of
wounded or otherwise impaired soldiers,
Inquiry of the board brings out the fact
that only little more than 5000 COM
pensation cases have been reported to
it by the compensation division, where
a. the latter states that it is actually
paying compensation to 10000 disabled
men.
The point is the board cannot take
up for action the case Of any soldier
who is not getting compensation. The
compensation division says it has certi-
fed, except for an occasional error of
omission, every case Of compensation
award. This discrepancy of 10000 in
cases available for vocational training,
anu the further discrepancy between
either 5000 or 10000 and the 81 ,533
cases of disability reported to the vo-
cational Board, are apparently inexplic-
able.

Counsel i'm Ford Case
Clash Over Evidence

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, May 80
The jury in the libel suit Of Henry
Ford against "The Chicago Tribune"
was released until Wednesday morn
ing, to-day, while Judge Tucker listened
to arguments Of counsel on what scope
is to be allowed in the introduction
of evidence. This phase of the case is
regarded by both sides as of the great
est Importance.
The forenoon session to-day was de-
voted to the conclusion of the opening
statement of Weymouth Kirkland, of
counsel for "The Tribune" When he
had finished with q declaration that
the present case is not merely a dis
pute between the Detroit manufacturer
and "The Tribune" but great public
and moral issue of pacifism against
preparedness, the jury was dismissed,
Horace X. Tenney, of Chicago, the law
expert of "The Tribune" forces, ad-
dressed the court
Alfred Lucking, representing Mr.
Ford, announced that his client was
not pleading that he was immune as q
private citizen froms the newspaper
comment which falls to the lot Of rec
ognized public characters. This an
nouncement was elected by the time
devoted by Mr.. Tenney to arguing that
Mr.. Ford, by reason of the pages of ad-
vcrtislng matter he had used in ex-
pounding his views on pacifcm, the
interviews with him which had been
printed and his great wealth, was g
public character who had publicly en-
tered the lists against that prepared
ress which "The Tribune" had advo.
Gated for years.
"If the evidence in this case is re.
stricted, it is inevitable that there will
come feeling that the element o1
tairnees is not entirely present, anc

Tenrey.
