u. S. WILL DISPUTE
CHANGE IN SHIP RATIO
Plain Talk Likely OUer Jap
dnese Demand.

WASHINGTON. Nov. IS tAssociated
Press) .-Japans request for an increase
in the proportional strength of her navy
may lead speedily to some plan talk
across the council table of the Arms
Conference.
The American delegation stands ready
to dispute stubbornly any material
change from the ratio set forth in the
American plan. That ratio. ii was em-
phasized by highest authorities to-day.
reflects existing proportional strength
and so cannot be altered without upset
ting fundamental principle of the whole
plan.
In effect. the American figures would
give to Japan six fighting ships to every
ten owned by the United States and
every ten owned by Great Britain. The
Japanese have hlnted, but never form
ally announced, that they want seven to
ten. The naval experts of the United
States really believe that five to ten is
nearer the proper allotment. Great
Britain has accepted the six to ten plan
In principle, but her spokesmen have
been silent about the new Japanese pro-
posals.
II II turns out that the slightly
greater" naval force suggested for
Japan by Admiral Baron Kato only
amounts to the addition of one battle
cruiser to the Japanese figures. then the
emphatic objections of the American
delegates may not be deemed necessary.
But IL the suggestion comprehends a real
change in proportion II is declared on
authority that a determined and real
diplomatic struggle will result.

interested in the Far East and in the
idea contained in the tenth Chinese

anticipated. Francs and the Neither

The Chinese have already declared
themselves in on any international

That declaration Is contained in Point
of the Chinese proposal. and accord

at both the Anglo-Japapase alliance
and the Lansing-Ishii agreement.
The Importance attaching to the Lam

by reports that have gone out Of Wash

interpreting Secretary Hughess remarks
to the conference in committee as ac
cepting the Japanese Interpretation of
the Lansing-Ishii agreement. 1t can be
said upon the best authority that Secre-
tary Hughes has made no such admis-
sion. merely citing Japans geographical
position of advantage near China as an
argument why there should be no OBJ
lection on her part toward the open door.
Point will De given to the Chinese
Interpretation of that agreement by the

BEST VEGETABLES TO PLANT
Many Beginners Make Mistake OF

Some beginners in gardening be

when they look through seed cata-

every kind of vegetable deliberately
described and favorabiy illustrated.
AS a rule not more than 10 or 20
kinds of vegetables should be planted
in the average home garden, say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart

also realize the Importance Of we'll
prepared seed beds. Pulverize the soil
as deeply as 1t is plowed. II the soil

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Home vegetable gardens will be just
as important in stabilizing the food
supply in 1921 as they have been at
any time during the past few years,
say garden specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Urgent need for increased production
of food during the war caused thou
sands of rural and urban residents to
plant gardens, which resulted in es-
tablishing the gardening habit. This
year, specialists say, home gardens
will play an important part in thrift
and economy. Thousands of acres of
uncultivated land i'm and about many
large cities will be utilized this year
to furnish employment and recreation
TO home gardeners who know that by
raising their own supply of vegetables
they a materially reduce their liv-
Ing costs.
Enough for Average Family.
One-tenth of IN acre of fairly good
ground-a square about So feet each
way-will supply the greater part of
the vegetables needed by the average
family, say garden specialists of the
department. The cost of all seeds
and fertilizers for a garden of this
size should not exceed SIS to SIS, and
may not cost more than So or SO.
Experience has shown that not mor
than 100 hours should be required for
planting and caring for q t~enth-acre
garden. This time is so distributed
throughout the season that the work
can be easily done by most persons
working in factories, stores, or offices.
1t means an average of about five or
six hours a week for a period of 20
weeks or merely enough time for prop
er outdoor recreation and exercise
necessary for good health. More time
will be required early in the season
while the garden is being prepared
and planted than during the summer,
when not more han two or three
hours a week will be necessary to
keep the garden in good condition.
A little time during mornings, eve
nings, and on holidays spent in the
garden is a good investment. A gar
den is like a farm. however, in that IT
