Before I began planting my garden
I had planned the garden out. I had
planned the size, cost, and different
things to plant.
then fixed out nice place In our
garden that was level. The size Of
my garden was twenty feet wide and
twenty-five feet long. I spaded this
ground up good and then raked it to
get the tin cans and other scraps out.

The plat Of ground which chose
for my garden was trifle larger than
a square rod. 1t was higher than the
ground around it so that in case of
excess rains the water could be easily
drained of.
/ planted ten varieties of veeetables.
carrots, onions, beets, radishes, to-
matoes, lettuce. parsnip, beans, peas
ana cucumbers, besides having q bor-
DER OF red gladiolas. AS soon as the
ground was sufficiently thawed out
and warmed, I planted carrots, onions.
beets, radishes, lettuce, parsnips, beans
and peas.
At first it seems as though there
would be lack of moisture because
there had been hardly no fall rains
and for a time after planting there
was no rain. But wet spell set in
and after that the seeds soon sprouted
and shot their first leaves above the
ground. During this time it was very
hard to keep the garden clear from
weeds for they grew faster than the
plants.
AS the plants grew I weeded and
hoed them and occasionally thinned
them out. In due time 1 had a fine
crop OF radishes, very small tops and
perfectly shaped roots. About this
time set out my tomato sets placing
them so that they would succeed the
beans and radishes which would be
used up by the time the tomato plants
were Of great size. I had a good sue
cess with peas and beans having q
second crop Of the latter which was
planted 80 as to succeed the first crop
OF peas.
l planted three hills of cucumbers,
which, when very small, were affect
ed by small insects which I DESTROYED
by sprinkling the plants with lime.
After that they prospered and the
vines were covered with cucumbers,
most Of which I picked, for preserv-
ing when small.
Aside from rather poor crop of
carrots all the other vegetables turn
ed out fine and were an ample reward
for my efforts. At the Fair receiv.
ed prizes on table beets and preserved
tomatoes.
As the contest is not open to those
above the Freshman year I will be
barred from entering again; but I wish
to advise all those who can join, to
do so, IL the work Is continued. Be-
sides the prizes offered, there is all
the experience gained from being in
actual contact with q garden for the
summer months, 50 I am sure that
no one VRuld regret having Joined the
contest.

A Postal Plane Strike.

A strike Of postal aviators is a nov
city that was, however, quite to be ex'
pected. These men protest against the
dismissal of two pilots for refusing te
make their "runs" despite the prev
alence Of rain and fog. They also de-
clare that their machines are not kept
in sound condition, and furthermore
they object to the scale of pay, the
mechanics getting fully as much as
the pilots themselves.
1t is surprising to find from this
that men have been dismissed from
the service for refusing to take out
their planes in dangerous weather. II
is the boast of the Post Office Depart,
ment that plane service has been main,
tanned without interruption, but pub
lie sympathy will doubtless be with the
men who refused to risk their lives in
unpropitious conditions. Aviation has
not developed to such point of Sc
curity that the government should in
sist. on pain of dismissal, upon in
variable flights regardless of the
weather.

What has been wasted cannot be re-

That duty is, now that We have
found ourselves, not to lose ourselves

should remain so. The last war has
not been fought. Man is still a con-
tentious creature; and there is more
to contend about than ever. The new
order of the world will bring its pros

Collateral and Crime.

There is something wrong with the
system that permits violators Of the
law to evade trial by depositing a
nominal collateral at station houses.
Many of those arrested during the re-
cent rioting, for actual participation
in the fighting or carrying concealed
weapons, put up these cash bonds and
disappeared. Those who did not have
the funds had to stand trial. Some
of the latter are prolonging the pro-
cedure by demanding jury trials and
putting up the bonds exacted by the
court, but others, without the means
Of securing delay, are put on trial i'm
mediately. This is a discrimination
between offenders. those who have
money getting off practically free, gain.
ing long postponements, while those
without money are punished quickly.

Speed the Law Processes! !

1t has been often urged that ju-
dicial delays are largely responsible
for the impatience of the people in
matters of crime punishment and that
the protraction of grace for accused
and convicted prisoners has melted
mob violence in many quarters.
Whether this is the case in the late
riots in this city is not now to be
determined, but there is undeniably a
strong feeling of impatience with the
slowness of ordinary court processes.
Just prior to the outbreak of vio-
lence in Washington a man who had
been convicted of assault and murder
and sentenced to die was reprieved to
permit an appeal. He had confessed
to his crime. There is practically no
likelihood of reversal of the. verdict.
If the usual course Of appeal is fol-
lowed it will be several months before
this prisoner is executed, probably
more than year after the commission
Of the crime.
Another man who had been con-
victed of murder was subsequently
given a similar reprieve for appeal.
The crime had been committed nearly
three years before, but in this case
the accused was not apprehended for
two and half years. In his case
there will be a similar delay before
the execution of the sentence, if the
appellate court afirms the verdict.
The District courts are congested
with work. It is impossible for them
to keep up with their calendars. Two
more judges are needed to enable them
to consider current business properly
and to catch up with arrears. The
appellate court is crowded as we'll az
the lower court. It should also be
given two more members.
But an increase in the numbers of

the delays incident to appeals, unless
special attention is given by the highev.
court to cases involving human life. It
is necessary, Of course, to assure all
men the fullest possible safeguards
against injustice. Some delay is es-
sential to the administration Of the
law. But the long protraction of
trials, the long delays between trials
and appeals, the time allowed to those
who are plainly guilty, all make for
public impatience and contribute to
the mob spirit that occasionally flames
forth and exacts heavy toll.
Speed the court processes. Increase
the court personnel. Amend the laws
relating to appeals in cases of def
nitely proved guilt Of capital crime.
These remedies will 60 far toward
Strengthening the safeguards against
disorder. They will reassure the peo-
pie that the lawful procedure is to be
relied upon for the administration Of
justice.

Investigations and the Future.

A number of congressional investi-
cations of war activities are, or soon
will be, in progress. The field, it is
understood, will be thoroughly COW
cred. Bottom facts will be sought. Re-
ports will be made, and in season de-
bated. Time will be feature of the
proceedings. The field is very large.
Activities were so manifold and on
a scale so enormous, great deal Of
gossip resulted. Some of it probably
partook of invention. Some of it prob
ably partook of e1aggeration. Small
things were magnified. Large things
were distorted. True proportions thus
disappeared.
But after all such allowances have
been made, there need be no surprise
if waste and misdirected effort in many
matters are shown. The country sud
denly had embarked upon a huge
and expensive undertaking. 1t had
little to meet the emergency. 1t re-
quired much, and what was required
must be obtained as soon as possible.
Thus many difficulties we're encoun-
tered. Some were created by the very
rush and crush necessary to fill the
order. Experienced men were not al
ways available for service. Such as
we're available had to be assigned at
once Out of such a situation, cram
med with embarrassments and pitfalls,
mistakes, and mayhap worse, were GER
tain to issue.
The public should learn much from
all these prebinss. Unpreparedness

last few days in which persons impli-
Gated in tho rioting have virtually
eyaded punishment. The collateral ac-
cepted from them has stood in lieu of
fines, far less than would have been
imposed had they gone to court. This
puts premium upon disorder and law
breaking.
The collateral system has never
worked justly or effectively save to
enable one class of people to gain an
advantage over others. The spectacle
now presented of numbers of persons
guilty of serious offenses getting off
scot free on cash basis, at very
low rate, is virtually an Indictment to
lawbreaking. The statutes under
which this system prevails should be
Immediately amended in the interest
of public security and good order.

The Ex.Kaiser's Trial.

Intimation is given by Earl Curzon
in the house of lords that Count
Hohenzollern may not be tried in Lon
don, as Premier Lloyd George recent
" announced. This Is perhaps due to
the protests that have been voiced by
the British press against the trial be-
ing held at London, on the score Of
the relationship between the former
kaiser and the British royal family.
It does not, however. signify that the
plan of the allies to try him has been
abandoned. Probably the most ap-
propriate place for the inquisition,
after all is Brussels, in the Palace of
Justice, that was carefully preserved
by the German forces when they oe-
eupied that city in order to keep it for
future German glory.

Hearings on the Mapes Bill.

In deciding to grant hearings to the
tizens of the District on the Mapes
Il abrogatipg the half and half prin-
ple of the organic act, the House
i strict committee yesterday is sim
r'y following the line of equity, as
Id been expected. The present pros
ect is that these hearings will be held
{. ter the recess of the House in the
rly autumn. This would be by far
: more satisfactory arrangement than
IMMEDIATE consideration of the bill by
t,!e committee.
1t is to be assumed that the District
ommittee wishes to consider this
!. '..casure carefully on its merits, with
cat prejudice and without prejudg-
.lent. The fact that the appropria-
ons committee has in the past adopt
c the repeating rider without hear
Ags and without full study of the
Ibject does not in the least justify
ihe conclusion that the bill will be
Gccepted as it stands and presented to
The House for action, or that the House
will pass the bill simply because it has
Heretofore adopted the recommenda-
Ions Of the appropriations committee.
The District is ready to present its
case If the committee requires. 1t
would. however, be preferable to wait
Until after the hot weather has passed
i'll order to insure full attendance
at the meetings and to permit full
presentation of the case. Nothing is
to be gained by haste. If this legis-
Luton is to be effected it need become
T. law only prior to the 1st of jury.
Il it is not to be enacted in the form
now proposed there should be time for
areful weighing of all the equities
10 enable the houses to reach just
: onclusion, just to the District and
ust to the nation.
There is no disposition to procrasti-
nate on the part of the District, and
t is gratifying to note that there is
20 disposition on the part Of the Dis
,rict committee to rush the bill At
he hearings to be held later a spirit
Of earnest endeavor to do what is best
ior the National Capital should and
doubtless will prevail.

And we're growing apprehensive
That the string beans will be climb

Yet there comes a consolation
As we note the cultivation
That is evidenced by splendid
fow'rs of speech.

We -dmit they'll scarcely nourish
Like articles which commonly are
sought,
But our joy is never ceasing;
They'll keep ripening and increasing
And the fruits may furnish pleasant
