 Sryn Mawr. Pa. Feb. :4.-Use of the governments surplus Of smoke making material left over from the war in signalling Mars was suggested today by Jam es J.

 Irrespective of party affiliations ;

WET GARDEN
BY DRAINAGE DITCH
Plants Will Not Thrive If Roots
Are Too Wet.
Slightly SIoplno Land Where Water
viii Run OF Gradually 10 Most
DeslrabIe-Shade From Trees
10 Objectionable.

Garden plants will not thrive with
wet feet. In other words, they will
not grow II their roots are in soil con-
tanning too much water. Good garden
land often Is spoiled because there is
no way for the water to drain from 1t.
This can often be remedied, In suburb
an or community gardens. United
States department Of agriculture spe-
cialists point out, by cutting ditch or
by placing tile or pole drains In
bitches cut through the land. Some OF
the best truck farms in the country are
located on land that was formerly un-
der water most of the year. BY means
of drainage bitches the surface water
was drained off, then underground
drains were laid to carry off the sur
plus from the soil itself.
Land that is slightly sloping, so that
the water will run off gently without
washing the soil, is desirable. If 1t
is too steep, the soil will be damaged
during heavy rains, but a sloping To-
cation is generally to be preferred to
one that is "dead level" The ideal gar
den has a gentle slope toward the
south or southeast, but it is not al
ways possible to find the ideal, and
city gardeners may have to do some
work on their own account to remedy
the conditions.
Throughout the South it is the prac-
%n sfOin h06C
That is, the land is plowed in strips
about four feet wide, the soil being
thrown together into beds with open
burrows between them. This serves
to drain off the water and keep the
roots of the plants high and dry, so
that they will not suffer with "wet
feet"
Another type of location found in
selecting city gardens is that which
is shaded a portion Of the day by
buildings. While this is undesirable,
the case is not entirely hopeless, and
a number of crops, including lettuce,
spinach, kale, swiss chard, celery,
snap or string beans, beets, radishes,
and even tomatoes, If pruned and tied
to stakes, may be grown where sun
light can be secured for period Of
four or five hours day.
Shading from trees is more objec-
tionable than that from buildings, be-
cause the trees not only shade the
plants but their roots draw upon the
soil moisture and plant food in the
soil, thus robbing the plants Of the
source Of their living. AS a rule 1t
is not safe to plant any garden crop
within 25 or 30 feet Of rapid growing
trees like the maple.

NOVEL HOUSES Of WORSHIP
One Missionary to Eskimos Made Use
Of Seaiskins and Another EN-.
pIoyed Only Snow.

One of the Queerest churches ever
known was built by missionary on
Blacklead island, in Cumberland
sound. Finding that the Eskimos had
no place in which they could meet
for religious services, the missionary
started to build church of the skins
of seals, ID wood being available. The
skins were sewn together and stretch
ed over "girders" of whalebone, empty
provision tins serving as seats.
The cold at one time became so
severe that for many days the Eski-
mos of Blacklead island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi-
fee and began consuming it. with the
result that when morning came there
was not a skin left, the whalebone
ribs alone remaining 10 show that
there had ever been a church.
Another missionary in charge of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo Tribe,
built his church entirely of snow.
Seat, pulpit, altar and, interior equip
ment, was made of snow, and in the
matter of warmth no stonc-built
church could beat it.

GIVEN. PRIVILEGE in WAR
Channel Islanders for Centuries Were
Not Forced to Take Part In
Rritain's Conflicts.

For over two centuries the Channel
islands were allowed to remain neu-
trail in any war that England might
undertake. This singular privilege was
granted to-, them by Edward w., and
was not revoked till the reign of Will
liam and Mary. It was granted as
d reward for the loyalty Of the island
ers, whose commerce with the neigh
boring coasts Of Brittany, and Nor
mandy was constantly being inter
rupted by the numerous wars. Even
the pope joined in enforcing the right,
and by q bull dated 1883 Sextus Nv.
threatened to excommunicate any one
who violated the order. On the whole,
it is fairly rigidly observed, and when
a Guernsey vessel was taken in the
channel by privateer of Morlaix, the
islanders with their boat were re-
leased, but a few Englishmen on
board, with their merchandise, were
captured. The privilege does not
seem to have been of any great COM
mercial value, for when it was with
drawn the islanders made more mon
ey than before by fitting their vessels
out as privnteers.
