molds or fungi and in addition, in the
South, q destructive eelworm which
causes a disease of many garden crops
commonly called rootknot.
Recently it has heen learned by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture that seed-bed soil can be made
reasonably free from these plant n
mics by this simple hot-water treat
ment. If disease spores are not killed,
plants grown in such soil will usually
become diseased and die, or else will
remain stunted and sickly. 1t Is be-
cause Of the transpianting of such dis
eased seedlings that many Of the poor
crops or failures in the home garden
occur. Every gardener should there
fore learn how to recognize troubles of
young plants and become familiar with
the method here described for prevent
ing them.
l. Before treating the soil 1t should be
placed In the box ready for seeding.
Make a few holes In the bottom of the
box for drainage. Pour on the boiling
water very slowly at the rate of two
gallons to a box OF soil one foot square
and four inches deep and at once ove
with a newspaper to help hold the
heat for a longer time. After a few
DAYS or whenever the soil has dried out
enough the seed may be planted.
Young plants grown In this treated
sll moi only have white, sound roots,
but also have a healthy, vigorous ap-
pearance above ground. Besides this,
seeds sprout better and the plants
grow much faster than those planted in
soil. .><~,

ENGLAND WILL PAY.

Learned discourses might be writ ten about payment of war debts and they would have little effect upon the man who walks along the street and ruminates on things in general. But little bit of news, stating plain fact. will bring results. The news of the day says that the American Debt funding commission has received of- f1cial word from Great Britain that her $5,ooo, 100000 debt to us will be paid and that the British Ambassador in Washington has stated that inter- est on that debt will be begun to be paid on October IS, when $125,oo0,- 900 falls due.
 The gentleman who ambes along the street and contemplates the sky line thoughtfully, contracting his in- telligent brow in deep study of it, will heed that little bit of news and will probably remark, when next he meets some crony, that England isn't so bad after all-she's going to turn over some cash to us-cash, under stand? a

BELIEVES MINERS ALIVE
Chemical Engineer Issues Signed Statement in Which Reasons for His Decision Are Given.

Jackson, Cal, Sept. 15 (By Asso- ciated Press)-Dr. l.. S. Duschak, consulting chemical engineer of the California industrial accident commits mission today issued a signed state ment in which he predicted that the AT miners entombed for IS days in the Argonaut gold mine would be found alive,
 There Is ground for assuming that the men were not overcome by the poisonous gases from the fire zone and that these gases are not now passing through the parts of the mine in which the men sought refuge" Dr. Duschak's statement said He described results of sampling the gas coming up from the mine at the 2,40o foot level which he said indi- cated the trapped miners had plenty of fresh air. The air analysis also shows, his statement declared. that there has been a slight diminution in the fire which shut off their escape.

WHO WON THE STRIKE.

The rail shopmen's strike IS not settled The roads which have con sented to the agreement constitute a small minority of all the roads and are the smaller ones. But If the terms of settlement approved are to be considered the question as to who won the strike may be answered, each man for himself, by looking at those terms.
 The seniority matter Is not settled.
 There would have been no question of seniority rights had the shopmen accepted the ruling of the Railroad Labor Board and had not gone on strike. The pay at which the men go back is, in most cases, the pay fixed by the Board against which the strike was declared. The stronger roads have recruited new men to work in the shops and are gaining in efficiency every day. Many more men have gone into the shops: competition among the men is more keen; many union men will find it difficult to get their jobs back; company organiza- tions have sprung up; the men have lost millions of dollars in wages; the Railroad Labor Board is stronger than ever.
 The railroads, too, have lost money and are in no mood to be more liberal with their employees than they were.
 Would the strikers be better off today had they not followed the or ders to strike given by them, or have they gained enough to make the strike worth while? Who lost by the strike?

KEEP CITY HALL OPEN

Mayor Paonessa's suggestion, or order, that the offices in City Hall be kept open during the luncheon hour is a good one. There would be little object in commenting upon it except for the fact that it is the habit of many people to object to anything suggested as a change, and those ob- jectors have loud voices. It is hoped that the rule, already in effect, will be venience may be experienced in some offices, but arrangements should be made in spite of such temporary dis comfort.
 It is obvious that the offices in city hall are for the benefit of the people of the city paying their maintenance as places in which those whom they pay, the city employees, must work Anything that tends to facilitate inter- course between the workers in those offices and the people who have busi- ness to transact there, should be en- couraged It is plain that the noon hour is the only time some people can get to those offices conveniently. Certainly they should be kept open at that time.
 While on the subject 1t should not be forgotten that the workers in those offices, many of them, are taxpayers of the city and pay part of their own salaries in the taxes they pay Their comfort, as taxpayers, should be considered as well as the comfort and convenience of other taxpayers. They have their rights which are not taken from them by the fact that they are in the pay of the city. People have ing business to do in the offices of the city should remember to consult the convenience of these workers there, as those workers are expected to consult the convenience of the res- idnts of the city who come to those offices to do business.

THIRD WARD OUTING

Not long ago The Herald felt in- spired to give bit of publicity to a proposed Democratic outing. It was hailed and held-the outing, not The Herald which, although it is always hailed is never held in the grasp of either party. So, with that impartiali- ty so often commented upon by our contemporaries, we want to give simi- lar publicity to the Republican Third Ward Outing to be held tomorrow, especially as 1t looks as though if would be an outing deserving of men, ton.
 Possibly there will be talk about forms of government such as kines and Irlumvirates at this outing and many things may be roared back at those who stand for such oligarchis- tic affairs. Certainly we know "by the papers that many men have con- tributed the use of their automobiles and, It Is quite possible, stand ready to contribute something more tangible to the cause. The managers of this outing have done one wise thing any, way; they have not announced a lone list of speakers the absence of some- of whom it might be difficult to ex- plain.

KIPLING AND CLARE

II is possible to read many things
 between the lines of Rudyard Kiplings s
 denial of hts interview with Clare
 Sheriden. T did not give Mrs. Sheri-
 dan an interview. I did not say the
 things which l see she ascribes to me and have not discontinued the
 habit of saying that I wish to say over my own signature" That is Mir. kiplings denial. It is to be noted that he does not deny the possession of sentiments deprecating Americas at- titude concerning the war, before and after, which the interview stated he held.
 Language, says an old definition, was given us to disguise our thoughts, or something like that. The more cleverly man writes the more suc- cessful he is in stating the literal truth in way that will give a wrong im- pression. One might believe that MT. Kipling, past master of Language" intends to interpret Interview" as a formal statement made to be given to the public. If so, 1t is quite possible that what he said to Mrs. Sheriden, and which she quotes or mentions were remarks which needed the con- text to make his meaning plain. If so a broad statement of denial is proper But the wonder comes as to what Mir. Kipling did say to that interesting, clever woman. who has had such an interesting life getting heads in Russia that she might mould them in sculpture, and leading the grand march at the Tammany Hall ball in New York. Kipling, Lenine, the Bol- sheviki and Tammanyites all seem to interest her. But perhaps, after all, 1t does not matter so much whether MT. said those things to her, as 1t matter what he will say to her when next they meet. Look out, Mrs. Sheriden; it would be terrible to be the inspiration of another vampire" effusion from the poets pen. Or pos sibly you would not mind.

TODAY'S THE DAY.

Of course everyone knows that to- day makes outcasts of all men who continue wearing straw hats. Only certain kinds of men will keep their summer headgear; those who believe that clothing should be worn appro- priate to the weather; those who have the courage of their convictions and who will not be governed by ar bitrary custom and those who deem 1t an extravaganza to discard a per fectly good hat when the weather is warm for one that is hot and un comfortable. So you see to what a terrible group of men you would be- long if you continue to wear your straw hat even if the sun shines brightly and the weather is warm.
 On the other hand all the splendid fellows who believe that the rule de- manding the discarding of the straw hat on this day should be obeyed above all other laws. all that fear the ridicule of their fellow men even though that ridicule be directed at something quite sensible, all who consider themselves fashion plates all these will discard their straw hats. Certainly you want to be placed with this noble group.
 So by all means, discard your straw hats, unless you are willing to be of possessing strength of character enough to do as you please.
