Why a Home Garden This Year?

No war-inspired slogan urges the preparation
and cultivation of home garden this year. That
incentive is lacking. Neither are we asked to
raise food that others, sharing our benevolence,
may keep from starving this year. It seems
probable that enough food will be raised this
season to feed all the people of the world.
Home gardens are in order this year because
millions are out of employment. A vacant lot
offers happy solution to the problem of obtain
ing fresh vegetables for the table and for can
ming purposes. Every vacant lot is an invitation
to plant garden that will pay handsome div-
dends to the gardener.
The home garden idea is firmly rooted in
Richmond Ever since the war, thousands of our
citizens have planted vegetables in the spring for
: immediate use and to supply foodstuffs for the
winter months. They have found that we'll
cultivated garden pays.
Others have planted gardens for the recrea-
tional joy which they afforded Many man
who has enough money to buy fresh vegetables
has worn blisters on his hands and suffered aches
in his back because he liked to work in the soil
Some -enterprising gardeners have their work
well in hand. Unreasonable weather has pre-
vented others from going ahead very fast. But
our garden experts tell US that it is still early
enough to put out garden.
! The Y. M. C. A. is doing good work in en-
couraging boys to become producers of food
stuffs. The love of gardening inculcated in their
hearts will abide. BY utilizing part of their idle
time in vocational work, they will early learn the
lesson of thrift and industry, and appreciate the
returns Of effort directed toward the accom-
plishment of specific purpose.
Hundreds Of our school children have their
own gardens or are Of great assistance to their
parents in helping to cultivate the family garden.

Smith ASKS AID FOR
BALTIMORE HARBOR
Senator Smith Makes Plea For
Great Improvement To The
Maryland Waters.

Additional amendments to the Riv-
ers and Harbors Appropriation bill
which were before the Senate Com
merce Committee, were offered last
week by Senator John Walter Smith.
Following his urgent proposal that a
specific sum be allotted for a survey
of the Baltimore harbor and channels,
Senator Smith asked for an appro-
priation of 100000 to dredge Swan
Point bar at Rock Hall harbor and
$11,800 for the dredging of Herring
Pay and Rockhole Creek.
Since the establishment of ferry
line between Bay Shore Park and
Rock Hall vessels have been troubled
by bar which necessitates their
making a detour of several miles. The
Smith amendment is to dredge away
this bar and facilitate the movement
cf the boats.
Senator Smith will press his a.
mendments before the Commerce
Committee and if they are not includ-
ed in the river and harbor budget by
the committee he probably will pro-
pose them from the floor when the
bill comes before the Senate.
The previously offered amendment
of the Maryland Senator called for an
appropriation of $125,000 for main
tenance and survey of the Baltimore
harbor. AS the Rivers and Harbors
bill left the House it carried only a
lump sum appropriation of $15,000,-
900 and took care of no specific pro-
iiects.
The bill was formally presented
Saturday in the House. 1t makes pro-
vision for no new projects, but autho-
rized preliminary surveys and the
carrying out of certain projects in
which appropriations already are
available. Under the new rules the
committee handles no appropriations
and it is the first committee which
formerly had such control to report a
legislative bill.

OPERATES ON BABY
Infant Just Born Receivers From
Paralysis.

Paralysis.
What is believed to be a record in
medical annals of Pennsylvania was
established at Bloomsburgh when an
operation was performed on an infant
thirty minutes old.
The child of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Billman was afflicted with paralysis
of the left side at birth. The attend
ing physician decided that an i'm
mediate operation might correct the
trouble. A piece of the skull was
raised and pressure relieved, causing
an end of the paralytic condition. The
baby rallied from the operation and ii
is believed will live and be healthy.

Eve Chemical Company Makes Great

When the Eve Creole Chemical
Company began business in Chicago a
lew months ago in the face OF stern
competition little did the public realize
the potcntalities of the new concern.
It is now satisfying clients all over
the country and its products are in
great demand. The secret OF the sue
cess of the Eve Creole products has
been their intrinsic merit. The toilet
articles put out by this concern claim
to produce beauty of peculiar Gre
ole charm" The secrets OF their
trade were learned over 80 years ago
by the famous Madame Eve OF New
York and Philadelphia, who amassed
a splendid fortune and thousands OF
clients.
The Chicago branch is under the
management OF Miss Lillian Eve. the
daughter OF the famous Madame Eve.
She has learned the secrets and art
from her mother and her establish
ment is located at 708 East And St,
Chicago. where an up-to-date plant
has been fitted. This institution bids
fair to eclipse the mother branch,
