PICTURES OF THE WORLD WAR
Fifty Photographers on Job, but Views
of Hardest Fighting Do Not
Tell the Story.

During the Civil war photography
was new art. Only one man was on
the job-Brady. If Brady happened
to be around when battle was fought
the battle would be photographed
otherwise not But photography dur
ing the recent war was no such hit
and-miss proposition. How the World
war was caught on negatives is told
in an article in a recent number of the
American Legion Weekly.
The very first ship that went over
carrying General Pershing also carried
movie man. And from that time not
single important engagement went
'sunsnapped" When our army was at
the height of its operation it had 90
photographers And for every photog-
rapher in the field we had three men
in the laboratory ready to push our
negatives through.
Although the photographs extant af-
ford a remarkable history, one of the
disappointments has been that even
the best of the battle pictures do not
show the real danger because most or
the hard fighting was done at dawn
before the light was good enough.
During the whole war there was never
a motion picture made of hand-to-hand
fighting by the American troops. The
italian army posed some pictures. but
this was never allowed by American
generals.

her time and calories of energy keep
ing her house clean and neat, scolds
and frets when that mud is TRAPPED
about the house. Perhaps the best
solution is this three-way brush that
the Department of Agriculture sug-
gests.
But wouldn't it be happy solution
of the. difficulty, if American men
could be orientalized to the extent Of
learning to leave off their boots and
don slippers when they come indoors?
Rubbers and overshoes of various
sorts are not popular with the average
outdoor worker, so there seems to be
little help in that direction. Perhaps
the European peasant who wears heavy
stockings and wooden shoes, which
he removes in favor of soft CARPET
slippers indoors, is really doing the
most sensible thing.
But farmers are not the only Of
tenders. There are many city folk
who are careless in trapsing mud in
doors. The careful person, if she
comes in on a muddy day, removes
rubbers in the vestibule or entrance
hall of the house. While this is not
feasible when entering a church or
theater, you should at least wipe them
on the doormats that are almost al
ways to be seen at the entrance.
There IS one thing that no well-bred
young man ought to be reminded not
to do, and that is to place his feet
for the sake of his comfort on the
seat of street or railroad train. The
business man who kept his feet poised
on his desk in order to gain full en-
joyment of an after-luncheon cigar, is
fast becoming extinct. Perhaps this
is because of the present-day tendency
for men to have shorter working hours
and to work more and rest less during
those hours.

WeII-6uiIt TreIIis Can Be Made to Do
Double Duty and Help Save
Valuable Space.

1t is common practice with many
small home owners who are fortunate
enough to have few grape vines to
neglect the arbors or trellis on which
the grape vines are trained.
While the older type of arbor-the
one with the shed roof style of COW
ering-is favored by many-it is gener-
ally conceded that the upright, or wire
trellis plan is the better one, not only
because more sunlight and air get to
the vines, but the vines can be gotten
at for pruning and spraying of
which are absolutely necessary
The upright posts can be used to at
tach the flaming clothes line, without
harming the vines. They also can be
used If high enough, to permit of a

wind blew and the rain came down in

did not have minute to rest.
But after while the wind stopped

, Just then the farmer came along,
and seeing Weathercock on the ground
he picked him up and carried him into
the barn, where he gave him a new
coat of paint, and the next day put
him back on the pole on the barn.
Weathercock went swinging merrily
around, without one creak, so glad was
he to get back to his home, and as he
whirled he said: 1T is better to wear

TOOLS THE BUSY
GARDENER NEEDS
Hoe, Rake and Spade, the Com
bination Soil TiIIers Find Abso-
Iutely Necessary.
WHEEL HOE is LABOR SAVER
Little Implement Suitable for Small or
Large Garden; Trowels Are Handy;
Spraying Outfits Are Es-
sential.

With the first warm days Of spring
sounding the earth call, there is a
hasty scurrying around for the tools
of the gardening cult. A gardener can
get along fairly well with four, spade
or spading fork, hoe, a rake, and a
trowel. 1t is even possible to get along
without the last, but who wants to?
The art of gardening is reaching
such point of special development
that there are tools for almost every
thing and the wise gardener by care
full selection will ease his work as
much as possible by securing appro-
pirate working implements.
The greatest labor saver for gardens
of any extent is little wheel hoe.
This saves many headache, does the
work thoroughly, and has appliances
for various purposes which are inter-
changeable from a little pillow share
to cultivators of various kinds. 1t can
be used in the smallest garden.
There are numerous hoes of various
types and designed for different pur-
poses. The pointed hoe for making
rows is a convenient tool. The hoe
with rake teeth on the back of the
blade is one of the very handiest all
around garden tools for light work
there is. 1t is particularly well adapt
ed for women gardeners. Three toothed
cultivator hoes do a fine job of STIR
ring the SOIL. .Scuffle or shove hoes as
they are sometimes called that can be
pushed instead of pulled, permit hoe
ings rows which are too close to walk
between conveniently.
Trowels OF various shapes to suit
various plants are now on the market,
stiff, sharply angled small bladed trow-
els are ideal for splitting off pieces
from perennials which have grown SO
large they need dividing for their best
growth. They are fine to set under a
recalcitrant carrot or parsnip whose
leaves are so tender they part COM
pany from the root, leaving 1t In the
ground.
Long bladed trowels are especially
adapted for digging holes for gladiolus
or other bulbs in the spring and tu-
lips and fail bulbs later in the season
and equally useful In digging them up.
There are little hand rakes which
are just the thing for hand cultivation
among plants which need special care
and the earth kept stirred.
Sprinkling cans and sprays must be
added to every well regulated garden
outfit, especially spray.
While looking over spraying outfits

MABEL is translated to mean be-
A'A loved and certainly the name has
d right to its significance, since 1t
comes from the word meadhail, mean

name more redolent of poetry exists
today than Mabel.
Mabel appears first as Meadhbh.

from the local seedsmen or from neigh
bors who have had experience in grow
ing it.
Rhubarb is propagated by planting
pieces of the roots secured by divid-
ing older hills, and six to ten hills will
usually supply plenty of rhubarb for
the average family, states the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Rhubarb should be planted exactly
the same way as asparagus, that is,
the roots or crowns should be covered
four or five inches in deeply spaded
and well enriched soil; there is little
danger of having the soil too rich for
rhubarb. The hills should be three
and half to four feet apart, If more
than one row is planted.
The thick leaf stems are the part
used, and none should be pulled from
the plants the first year after seeding,
but large supply will be available
the second season, and the hills will,
factory crops Of stems for several
years, after which they should be di-
yided and reset.
Rhubarb should receive the same
attention and treatment during win
ter as asparagus, and the plants
should never be allowed to ripen and
seed. The roots may be brought into
the greenhouse, pit, coldframe, or eel
lar during the winter and forced.
By placing a barrel over a rhubarb
plant much longer and tender stalks
may be grown.
This is one plant that does not thrive
in warm climates. 1t is most popular,
especially in the sections where it is
grown, in the early part of the spring.

TO GROW MUskMELoN

The culture of the muskmelon is the
same as for the cucumber except that
the plants are usually given more
space. Plant eight to ten seeds In a
hill, spacing the hills six feet apart
each way. After the plants become
established, thin out all but four Of
the best ones. Another method is to
sow in drills six feet apart and thin

TO GROW EARLY CABBAGE

Cabbage is one of the most de-
sirable of our early green or leaf
crops and should be included in
every home garden. The seeds
should be sown indoors and the
plants set in the garden about
the time that danger of frost is
past, or few plants can be pur-
chased from the seed store. Cab
bage requires a rich soil, and the
plants of the smaller early sorts
should be set Is inches apart in
each direction for hand cultiva-
ton. 1t is good plan to pour
little water around the roots
of each plant as it is being set in
the garden.

Peanuts High Food Value.

Peanuts are high in food value, says
the United States Department of Agri-

the report that peanuts promote the
growth of hair. Investigation carried
on in the bureau of chemistry with re-
gard to the chemical and nutritive
properties of the proteins of the pea
nut have demonstrated that, aside from
the oil, which is easily digested and
which fur .ishes a large amount of
fuel or energy, the shelled peanut con-
tains about 20 per cent of protein of
