Thin to Proper Distance.

With such crops as carrots, beets,
peas. radishes and the like the seed
lngs will now be much too close.
The mature plants should stand about
three inches apart and the seedlings must
now be thnned to this distance, taking
care all the while that the strongest and
most promising plants are saved and all
others pulled out
Home gardeners arc too apt to go at
this Job in half hearted sort of way,
getting it done az soon as possible.
One way TO do this is to pull up the
seedlings in punches, leaving the in
/ dividual clumps two or thrce inches
/ apart. 1t is quick way, and often
employed but it cannot be relied upon
to give good results at the end of the
season. On the other hand, pulling up
individual plants, rather than tufts OF
them is much slower and more tedious
process They are harder TO handle
being very small and fine at this season
but there is no other way of insurinI
ample room for the development of tn,
mature plants than to take the necessar,
care and time to make sure that every
plant that remains has at least an incl

TWO GIRLS FOUND SLEEPING,
UNFRAMED, BENEATH DEBRIS

Washington. Jan. 20 (By the A P)-
Sleeing peacefully beneath the debris in
the wrecked Knickerbocller theatre. two
little girls aged about four and six. were
found early today by rescuers, ten hours
after the playhouse roof had fallen in
Apparently neither of the children was
badly hurt They We're taken to a hos

Four hours earlier a five year old girl
was found, unhurt, seated between the
bodies Of two women. Her life evident

the seats and the protection given her by
the bodies of the two women who were
killed beside her
q The last person to be taken from the
ruins was DIR. Scott Montgomery of
Washington, who was rescued twelve
hours after the roof collapsed He was
pinned by his legs underneath a beam
which killed the young woman whom he
had escorted to the theatre. The beam
was part of the structure of the balcony
and was literally a key log in the Jam
above him. 1t took hours to assemble the
hydraulic jacks from the navy ward

heart and Sargent was shot in the abdo-
men. Hewitt. it was said, had crawled
under bunk and was not hit.
AT daylight the two wounded men as
sisted by Hewitt made their way to the
Grady residence, two miles away The

here and the Rockville police called the

INSTRUCTIONS FROM TOXIC
FOR JAPANESE DELEGATION

Washington, Jan. 2s-(By The A. P.)
Further instructions from Toxic to the
japanese delegation brought fna,
agreement on the five-power naval treaty
one step nearer today, while moves were
developed that seemed to insure
within few days a final decision in the
Shantung controversy.
The exact nature of the Toxic commu-
nication was not disclosed, but it was
understood to accept with one or two
reservations, the language of the forti-
cations article. which is the only por-
ton of the naval treaty remaining in
complete. The Japanese government is
said to approve definitely the plan for
listing by name the Pacific islands which
are not to be further fortified. but the
reply is IN such form that some furth-
er discussion will be necessary
In the Shantung negotiations there ap-
creasing pressure was being brought to
bear for a settlement. The prediction
heard almost everywhere in conference
circles was that day or two more
would tell the story, with the odds IA
voring acceptance of the settlement plan
supported by Presiient Harding.

CoNNEcTIcUT's PENAL
INSTITUTIONS CRITICISED

Washington, Jan 2s.-Dr. E. E. Dud-
ding. president of the Prisoners' Relief
society. the organiza ton which has lust
Investigated jails in various sections OF
the country, severely criticised the ma
jority Of Connecticut's penal Institutions
here yesterday.
Connecticut" he said. has three wen
managed penal institutions. They are
clean, free from dirt. and as near az
could be told from our inspection they
are to the best in the country. Twelve
others, however, are as bad as can bs
described.
Men with diseases were mixed up in
Connecticut jaiis with fellows in good
health In one jail We found two men
suffering with pulmonary tuberculosis.
What can be worse than this. when such
prisoners. after contact with others in
Jan, are taken 10 the court room and
mingle with others?
In one jail in the state the smell was
awful like a siaughterhouse. The bedg
were filthy. toilet facilities were bad. and
there were millions Of cockroaches. Even
now, our inspector looks back al her visit
10 that place as though Il was a night
mare. There is one prison in Connecticut
where the system is brutal. and the worst
feature OF u is not the exact system Itself
but the bitter feeling Of resentment and
revenge against society that is incal-
Gated into the hearts Of the prisoners"
DR.. budding said that Miss Nora Ab-
bot, executive secretary Of the society.
had made the inspection in Connecticut,
in connection with visits to eastern states
jails and prisons.
When he was asked 10 Indicate The
