Delay in Irish 0lympics
Affects Columbia Stars
Higgins and Moore Were
Ready for the Games.

Walter Higgins and Bob Moore were
somewhat disappointed when Murray
Hubert announced that America would
not be represented In the Irish Olympic
games this year on account of existing
conditions. but were consoled more or
less when later announcement stated
that the games had been postponed until
1923. Both the former captain of the
Columbia athletes, who was recently
crowned intercollegiate two mile cham
pion. and Moore. captain-elect of the
Blue and White cross-country team, had
been spending some time on South Field
in preparation for the tryouts.
Higgins first came into the limelight
when he won the national indoor junior
two mile championship, broke the record
for the Van Cortlandt cross-country
course twice and ran second to John
Romig In the intercollegiate cross-coun-
try race.
In the 5000 meter race for the Hlrshon
trophy year and half ago Higgins
won easily. defeating such formidable
opponents as Max Bohlano of the Paul
list A. c.. former national cross-country
champion, and Edward Garvey. also of
the aPulist A. c.. former national two
mile record holder. AS result of his
showing in this race he was considered
excellent material for the 1924 American
Olympic team. His record during the
last indoor season was none too good.
but his running at the Harvard Stadium
wkile winning the two mile collegiate
title was OF such caliber that his follow
ers are still sure that will land a
berth for the Olympics.

The building was practically gutted, nothing but the walls remaining. It was well insured and will probably be rebuilt within short time in more sub stantial way.

Plant Vegetables
 You Can Eat and What You Can't, Can

Radishes and lettuce usually pre- dominate in the beginners garden, probably because they come up early and give the gardener indisputable proof of his industry Crisp young radishes and lettuce are best eaten fresh from the garden; where as the succulent string bean, the prolific tomato, the iron-rich spinach, to say nothing of carrots. Swiss chare, beets, peas. corn. asparagus, or okra will delight the palate and enrich the diet many months after they ma ture in the garden, if properly put up in cans or jars and stored in the pantry says the United States de- partment of agriculture.
 IL is not enough to enjoy these veg etables when they are fresh. From October to June the stroage cellar and the corner grocery are likely 50 yield only potatoes, turnips, old car rots, cabbage and onions. and the use of these vegetables is likely to prove monotonous without ocea- sional reminders of the summer gar den It may take little more time to plant and cultivate two rows of beans or two dozen tomato plants instead of one, but if it furnishes these vegetables for winter as well as summer use, 1t Is worth the while.
 The amount of each kind of vege- table to be canned depends on the preference of the household, and the garden must be planned accordingly. A family of five-mother, father, and three children-or four adults-may well use 70 pounds q week of fruits and vegetables weighed fresh or un- cooked. This would be the equiv alent of such combination as s pounds canned, pounds dried. and A pounds of fresh material Of this allowance, half, or 35 pounds week, may we'll consist of fresh or canned vegetables. Four pounds, or quarts of canned vegetables are considered a minimum weekly allowance for the winter months
