North, South, East, West, autumn Is
best to begin next years home vege-
table garden. Nature is never idle,
even when the ground is hard and
frozen, and our efforts should be d.
rected to aiding natural agencies. The
greatest good can be accomplished by
improving the soil and preparing it
for growing bumper crops of potatoes,
cabbage, tomatoes, beans. beets and
other vegetables next season, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
Crop to improve Soil. (.
Most of our garden crops have ma
tured and been cleaned off the land. In
many parts of the country it is too
late to plant anything on this vacant
land, except rye,sbarley or some other
crop to improve the soil. Some of
the most successful gardeners follow
the practice Of sowing rye on every
foot of garden soil that becomes, avail
able. The roots of the rye spread
through the soil and pick up every
choice bit of plant food they can find.
Next spring when the ground is spaded
or plowed these same roots form net
work of fibrous material which quick
ly decays and forms new plant food
for the garden crops to feed upon.
Don't let it get more than two or three
inches high. next spring before it is
turned under Other crops will give
the same results, but rye is one Of
the most practical.Q
Frost Breaks Up Heavy Soils.
Spading or blowing clay soils in the
autumn and leaving them lying in a
rough state over winter is also good
practice. Heavy soils are broken up
by the action Of frost. but care should
be taken that they do not wash away.
Sandy and all light soils are liable to
wash or blow away during the winter

SPONGE AND IRON GARMENTS

Avoid Water Rings.

To sponge and press cottons, linens,
and silks, iron through piece Of thin
cotton material wrung out of clear
water, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture Another way is
to sponge the material with even
strokes and then iron dry. Heavy or
eolored goods should be sponged and
ironed on the wrong side. Sponging
with thin starch or gum arabic water
will make some fabrics seem almost
new. Success In pressing lies in having
the garment evenly dampened so that

SQUASH PIE FILLING
NEEDS LONG COOKING
Rich Flavor Developed II on
Stove for Four Hours.
Not Economical to Run Gas Stove for
Extra Two Hours-Tested Recipe
by Department Of Agricul-
ture Is Given.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.) +,
Throughout the fall months squash
and. pumpkin pie may well appear In
the bill of fare. If coal or wood fire
is kept up in the kitchen for other
purposes, it is well to cook the squash
for long time to develop the flavor,
but 1t is not economical and may not
be advisable to run gas stove for an
extra two hours for the sake Of flavor
alone. The United States Department
of Agriculture has found that when
the squash used for filing is cooked
four hours 1t develops richer flavor
than when it is cooked only two hours.
The recipe below can be used for
either squash or pumpkin pie. 1t has
been thoroughly tested in the depart
ment's experimental Kitchen.

JIMMY DELANEY, COMES FROM REAL
 FIGHTING STOCK

Jim Delaney, the fistic sensation of the west who is shortly to meet Harry Greb, comes from fighting stock
 Delaney happens to be a second cousin of John c. Heenan, American Il heavyweight champion of years ago. IL is on his mothers side that Jim descends from Heenan. she being a cousin of the former title holder. Jim appears to 5be capable of up holding the prominence of the Hee- nan line in ring history.
 When doping out Delaney's cham ptonShip possibilities think of the first half of his signature. James J. How outstanding it is in the history Of the game, James J. Corbett and James J. Jeffries. Furthermore. the champion in the past 100 years. with the exception of Bob FItzsimm mons, starts with the letter "J.'
 There is John L. Sullivan, Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson and others. All of which might be taken as an other forecast of the entrance of James L. Delaney into the list of pugiHstic stardom.
 DeIany, like Georges Carpenter began his ring career as a bantam. He began fighting at IT years of age, and has gradually outgrown each class until he is now a full fIedged midd1eWeight and seems destined to shortly enter the heavyweight class.
 Mike Gibbons, who has looked after the development of Delaney, says that he feels confident that the tie now held by Jack Dempsey. What Is more to the point, Mike says it won't take very many years either to turn the trick.

POli Review

It's a great picture, Gas. Oil d. Water'', which is being presented this week at Polls theatre. Of course the fact that Charles Ray is the star would make this picture poular, but in addition it has a dandy plot which is new and clever and which one can not fully understand until just about the last reel. During the action of the play one sees every man in the picture suspecting another but never does a subtitle devulge what all the secrecy and underhanded passing of slips of paer means. However, in the last part of the story one learns that the picture has to do with secret service work on the Mexican border.
 Ray is especially good as George Oliver Watson, which role is a pleas ant deviation from the usual small town boy which he usually pOTtrays. Along With uhe secret service theme there is also q little love story This picture is rich in educational as well as amusement value.
 To successfully strum a nand dolin Is an art in itself, but for one person to play q difficult number on a man. dolin and piano at the same time, that IS exactly what D. ApollOn does in the elaborate novelty "Bi-Ba-Bu'' which is the headIiner on the vaude- vile bill. Besides this musical treat garian dances, jazz toe dances and a minuet by a quartet of clever dan cers. RaninS second on the bill is Mabel Burke, assisted by Lucille Du- mont, in Song Hits of 1922". As a speciality in their act they use the old time custom of Illustrating songs by use of the movies. The effect is un- usually pleasing.
 Thurnton and King in IPIay a Fiddle are a riot Their comedy .s original and funny enough to keep the audience laughing heartily from the beginning until the close of the skit. A fine little act by. talented juveniles is presented by Conn and Albert in "On the Way to School" The bill is completed by the work of Harvard, Holt and Kendrick in The Big Game Pathe News and Edu- cat.onaI comedy are also shown.

Palace Review

For once the advertising man has not exaggerated a jOt when he de scribes "To Have and to HoId,'' the feature photoplay now at the Palace theatre, as more than a wonderful picture-a breathless adventure of pure light" It is all of that and is SC good that the Palace audience last right forgot 1t was only gazing at a screen, and applauded the picture heartily.
 The picture is historical, thriIling exciting and is so superIatively well done it attains new heights for mo tion photography as an art. It is ad kSa ed Of course, from Mary John stons famous novel. Betty Comp son never did better work than as the royal maid and jilts the Kings ia cooks! but Bert Lyten is a dashing swashbuCkHng blade as the Virginia p anter who is ready to dare all for her. Raymond Hatton is excellent as the dissolute King James and Theodore KOsloff is so convincing as the villain who still pursues q perse- cuted girl that everyone hated him heartily. Some clever comedy touches are provided by W. J. Fergu son, who plays the part of a retainer to the dashing Bert Lyteu. It is as Sood a picture throughout as has vet been screened, with fine photography read; with some excellent court scenes, some even better scenes on board ship, with buccaneers Indians early settlers, courtiers and a fine love story running all throug it. And praise be, this picture manages to be all Chose things without being silly or unconvincing. By all means see 1t if you can.
 The Syncopating Tn Band of Gladys Buckridge and Billy Casey deserves a paragraph all by itself. This act is something of a departure for the Palace. but a pleasing one. The band plays jazz in a way that makes 1t real music il even plays opera ac ceptably. which is something of an accomplishments for a jazz band Miss Buckridge has a good. clear voice. dances divinely and even-sh ,-shin1 mics a little bit. But she does t so modestiy not even a Sunday school teacher would object. Mr Casey also has a full strong voice and the setting and slides used add greatly to the effectiveness Of what would be in vaudeville a tOp-notch act
 Music lovers were glad to hear some more playing by Hans Hanke. the piano vircuoso, and the Palace Symphony orchestra appears to grow better the longer it plays together A gloom chasing comedy picture and an interesting news reel complete the program.

John Drinkwaters play Abraham Lincoln" was first successful in Bir- mingham, England ad then scored a world success by attracting enOrm- ous audiences of London pIaygoers This seems to have given rise to belief that the English company came to the United States to appear in the play. The English organiza- ton. at the time William Harris, Jr. produced the play at Stamford. Conn. was playing in London It would be quite unthinl1able that this play should be interpreted by an English company in Lincoln's own country. It is said that the English players gave an excellent interpretation of the play, but no matter how good they were they would not satisfy an Amer ican audience The company which will come to the Park Theatre for two nights only Tuesday and Wed nesday.

 Changes in the Yale lineup will continue until tomorrow morning it is said Whether or not Charley O'HearD will start against Harvard .s uncertain. His work has fallen off. His game during the ten min utos he was used against Princeton lacked presSivenesi. Neidinger, who was switched from halfbacl1 to quarterback five weeks ago, will run the eleven against Harvard. The re- turn of Bill Mallory to right halfback assures a dangerous fOrWard-pas continuation, namely Neidlinger to Mallory.
 Left halfback will probably be the final position settled. and the Fe- lection, which may not be made until five minutes before the kickoff, will hinge upon weather conditions. If Vale elects a bunting game, Ted Wight will be started, if a line -rnashing attack is decided on, Billy NeaIe will be the choice.
