FROM THE OCEANS DEPTHS
Whale shark, Caught OF Miami, Fla,
Something of a Surprise to.
the Scientists.

The first whale shark ever captured
e an exhibition at the Smithsonian In
stitution at washington. Capt. Charles
Thompson of Miami. Fla, who has
some big FISH captures to his credit, In
Guiding the largest devilfish ever lifted
to land, Is the captor Of this monster.
He caught 1t while cruising on
Knights key. II took 20 men nearly
two days to bring II ashore. The net
weight of the Ash is $4,000 pounds. Its
length Is As feet and its circumference
Mt the thickest part Is % feet 8 inches.
Its tail measures 10 feet from tip to
tip.
The scientists who looked this FISH
over said that he was only an infant
whale shark and that full-grown ones
are two and one-half times as large.
II Inhabits the ocean at depth OF l.
500 feet and It's hide is Of great thick
ness to withstand the enormous water
nressure. A 45-caliber bullet could
not even dent It.
How this baby whale shark hap
nened to come to the surface Is con-
lecture one explanation being that II
was thrown up by q submarinevolcan
disturbance and that In the journey Its
deep-sea diving powers were injured
= that II was unable to sink to It's
n.tural water levels.
The whale shark has little circular
,Idless eyes that are sIghtiess. ifs
mouth Is 50 inches wide and 4s inches

BEST VEGETABLES TO PLANT
MANY Beginners Make Mistake OF
planting Everything In cata-
Ioeue-Pulverize Soil.

Some beginners In gardening be-
come very enthusiastic In early spring
when they look through seed cata-
logues. They have desire to plant
every kind Of vegetable elaborately
described and fayorably illustrated.
AS a rule not more than Is or 20
kinds of vegetables should be planted
in the average home garden. say spe-
cialIsts OF the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Few beginners
also realize. the Importance Of we'll
prepared seed beds. Pulverize the soil
as deeply as 1t Is plowed. II the soif
Is coarse and lumpy, even though Its
surface is well broken up, the plants
will not thrive. Large air spaces In
the soil are injurious. but great num-
Der of small ones are beneficial.

given It. A well-cared-for garden will
produce much higher yields than one
which Is neglected. The average re-
turn In money value from a tenth-acre
plot of ground usually is about $50
for q season.
Fresh Vegetable Supply.
Plenty of fresh vegetables direct
from the garden to the table Is of
vastly greater Importance than the
money value. the cutting out OF mid
dlemar's profits or transportation
problems. The question Of saving and
cost, however, may prove a very Inn
portant factor before the close OF an
other year. Already there In much

the farmers Of the country could cut
themselves Of from the rest Of the
people and live comfortably for an
indefinite period. because they can
produce practically everything that
they need. Gardens furnish an Inn
pcrtant part Of the living Of families
on farms and the same principle VIII

towns and villages who have access
to a small tract Of land on which to

TN THE closing hours Of the last SEES
SIGN Representative Rayburn OF
Texas got all worked-up over the Idea
OF the United States accepting gifts,
especially In connection with legations
abroad, arguing that 1t was beneath
the dignity of great nation. Rep
resentatIye Rogers of Massachusetts,
replied to him and said In part:
at has been habItual on the part Of
the United States congress to author
ire the acceptance Of gifts. We oc-
cupy a legation at Bangkok that was
presented to us by. the emperor Of
Slam. We occupy a building In
Morocco that was presented TO us by

should do that, reply by asking you
why notp Haven'0we coastline and

to imagine that building navy the
equal Of Great Brltain's means we will

ually. Such war would be unthink-
ably horrible and for that reason, If
for no other, 1t will never happen"
Secretary of War Weeks speaking
as director OF the Navy league, said:
II want navy large enough for
any purposes for which 1t conceivably
is to be used. want 1t big enough
to, cope with any nation with which
we are likely to be at war"
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy, warned against
the unpreparedness propaganda being
spread by the pacihsts, who he said
are still formidable.

Many Large citles.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agrfculture)
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-
tablishlng the gardening habit This
yeas, specialists say, home gardens
win play an important part In thrift
and economy. Thousands Of acres of
uncultivated land In 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 can materially reduce their liv-
Ing costs.
Enough for Average Family
One-tenth of an 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 IS or $40.
Experience has shown that not more
than 100 hours should be required for
planting and caring for tenth-acre
garden. This time Is 80 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 period of 70
weeks or merely enough time for prop
or 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 than 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 farm, however. In that II

So the great executive clambered

crouched by the tank and, placing

In a second he was coughing ana
