they are not tender and sweet. Whats the trouble? MRS. B.
 A.-Your chief trouble must be due to soil conditions and poor selection as to variety. The soil should be req sonably fertile. to which should be applied complete commercial fertili ger, or at least commercial acid phos- phate, the most essential plant food. Situations of hard soil, prone to bake, must be avoided. For quality, plant only the wrinkled varieties, such as Thomas Laxton, Gradus and Little Marvel, none of which need to be staked. Taller varieties of like qual- ity are also available.
 Q.-So many of my radishes don't make bulbs. What is the trouble?
 MRS. MD. A-You must bs overlooking the necessity of fertile soil and prompt thinning to proper distance. To be good. spring radishes must grow quickly and 1t is positively essential to thin out when very small, leaving a single plant to every two to four , inches depending on size of variety.
 The long sorts do not become pithy as quick as the globe sorts.
 Q.-I think my cannas have become @ too thick, as they did poorly last year Would you advise taking them up. MRS. D.
 A.-Take up promptly and carefully and out the large clumps apart. Leave two or three eyes to each cutting. Se- lect the firmest roots of the newer growth for resetting. Might as well discard the oldest ana hard, woody parts. Reset in well prepared soil made loose and porous with we'll de- ceyed animal manure. Keep the plants nulched with rich vegetable matter, such as woods soil, decayed leaves. Give plenty water when fol- iage becomes manifest.
 Q.--Does dust hurt potted plants. and what Is a good method to re- move? MRS 6 A. The lungs of a plant are its leaves or foliage. therefore very nec- essary to keep free of dust. The best and quickest method Is to spray the plant with pure water both tho outer and underside of all foliage. This should be done as often as the dust accumulates. and the west time is late in the evening.

 At dinner party on the Berea, MrA Mortimer happened idly to mention Van Tuyl, and her acquaintance with him. Her host had abruptly asked her the young mans name in full, while the rest of the guests had halt ed in their conversation, with curious expressions on their faces.
 "A fairlsh chap. rather tall, with light blue eyes. About twenty-seVen years old. Maybe little more?'
 "Yes. that's Reggie. Quite a gay boy, too," Dolly had chirruped.
 A very awkward silence had ensued so awkward that she realized at once her error.
 "Fraid I dropped an awful brick in mentioning Master Reginald" snr confided later to Camille. Judging by the faces round that dinner table, he's taboo in this town, for some req son that we don't understand. woman possibly Or several of 'em." She laughed lightly. Then;
 q believe he was in one of the banks here, once. P'raps he misap- propriated funds? Who knows?"
 Camille could not giggle over that.
 q think Reggie's hanging round this town" she began.
 "Oh, rubbish, He'd soon look us up, If that were so.' Dolly dismissed the subject with: T must say our old friends aren't as attentive as the new, for where on earth has Elliot Glyn gone off to?"
 Camille flushed a little.

 "Boshl Business never interferes with love, if mans really keen"
 That was a barbed arrow, and it found a home in Camille's heart.
 But we're having q topping time without him." Dolly went on, blithe- ly. q must say the Durban men are charming. They admire you awfully

 Then she added, with ridiculously complacent air:
 'I will admit, of course, that a young married woman has more fas- cination than most single girls. I'm not meaning you, darling, for you've always been run after. But I've had more experience. and. being married, have more freedom to take the ini- tiative-"
 Camille could well believe the last, knowing the officious Dolly as she did.

Questions and Aaswer~

Q.-why can't I get my lettuce to head like buy at the market?
 MRS. A. W.
 A-rhe main reason lettuce don't head is because grown too thickly. It won<. head when sown thick on beds no matter how rich tho soil. It is best to grow in drills wide enough to admit of cultivation and give dis tance of to IF inches or moro be- tween the plants If soil be rich and thorough cultivation given, and head ing varieti1I planted, success Is as- sured. Transplanting Is desirable, but not necessary, although Vfompt thinning when sown in drills is inn portant.
 Q.-What distance apart and how deep should onion sets be, and how do you prevent them from going to seed? MRS. H. s.
 A.--Set three inches apart and to a depth where soil covers abc<t ~ inch over the top. When large enough to serve as green onions for the table pull up every other one when wanted, thus gradually reduc- ing tos six inches. apart. Pinch off promptly every seed stem as they ap- pear The smaller the sets put out, the less seed stalks appear, and the larger the matured onions. Rich, loose soil and shallow cultivation is essential.
 Q.--I am so fond of English peas. but don't. seem to succeed. besides

The engine. he says, is remark able from its simple construction. It has no reciprocating parts, no pistons, no cylinders, no crankshaft, no connecting rods, no valves, no crankcase. no lubrioating problem.
 He explains: "The gases are com pressed continuous, and the com bustion continuous, giving R steady pressure on the turbine rotor, the same as steam pressure. The heat given up to tho water jacket is made to do work on tho turbine rotor in the form of steam. This energy IS wasted in the gas engine of the day. There Is only one spark plug. used 10 start on, and is not used while running. This eliminates high ten sion distributors. Of course, l hold tho patents, and naturally hope to make a billion dollars out of the en- zine. But it has got to be all o. k. before manufacture.
 The Engine
 "-rhe engine Is light, simple ana has practically no noise or vibration I have built it because the time has come for the saving of our precious fuel. figured something should be done, since in our present auto mobile engine we get only 25 per cent of work out of fuel. This means that 75 per cent out of every dollar goes out through the radiator and exhaust in the form of heat units.

The story thus far;

The story thus far;
 Camille Westbrook haa gone to South Africa with Dolly Mortimer, her little butterfly friend. who has made the trip from London to join her husband at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn, in love with Camille, has made the trip with them. She has in her pos session a valuable ring which she has accepted from Reggie Van TYul, a young man-about-town always in financial difficulties, as security for a loan. On shipboard, and again in South Africa, attempts are made to steal the ring from her At Durban she and Elliot are strolllng on the lawn together after dinner at Lady Kilmornys. Camille suddenly points excItedly to the hedge. She insists that she saw Reggie Van Tuyrs face there for a moment. Perhaps 1t was he, she thought, who had tried to get the ring from her. She admitted to Glyn that the ring was Reggies, and he misunderstood. Later Glyn saw her pushing through the hedge. ap- parently returning from a rendez- vous with Reggie. Camille had found, when she went in search of Reggie, a handkerchief with his initials on it. Glyn found her trying to burn the handkerchief, and recognizes the ini- tials. She fibs about finding 1t and Glyn is offended.
 Five days elapsed before Camille saw Elliot Glyn again.
 Business had evidently absorbed him, but the girl had a shrewd sus- picion he was hurt over the affair of Reggie's ring, and over the fact that she was keeping certain things back from him.
 She felt strangely tongue tied in the matter. Particularly as she had promised Reggie in Paris not to di- vulge the secret of the loan.
 And how queer 1t was to think that Reggie was actually in this country, and yet avoiding Dolly and herself.
 Camille had sometimes wondered fl the young mans African career had been entirely reputable?
 For Van Tuyl seldom spoke of his former days out here.
 That in itself seemed odd.
 She herself had been immensely in terested in the prospect of a trip to Durban and Johannesburg. Reggie

Summer Greens

There is a demand during the sum mer months for greens" that is not easily obtained or available from such sources as mustard and turnips, but may be obtained ethrough the plant ing of either or both of the highly desirable vegetables. Swiss chard and New Zealand spinach
 Swiss chard, known also as sea kale and spinch beet, belongs to the beet family. but makes no bulk and is grown for its remarkable foliage. which for eating qualities is equal to the finest spinach, which it closely resembles in taste. The large wax like leaf stems alone, when cooked liIee asparagus, arc delightful. Culti- vate same as beets. Plant April or May.
 New Zealand spinach Is entirely diff ferent from common spinach. and thrives in most any soil and under hot, dry conditions. The plant is large and spreading. leaves rather small, broad and pointed. The plants should be thinned to hills two feet apart and two or three plants to the hill. The tender shoots are as desir- able -es the best spinach. Plant dur ing April or May. Seed are slow to germinate and it's often desirable to soak for A hours.

R. M. McLain, Now In City, Tells of New Steam Ro-
 tor of Entirely
 New Design
By mIGNoN HALL

Birmingham has a successful in- Ventor in the city as visitor.
 He is R. NJ. McLain. who already has made several gas turbine en- zines, and who Is drawing royalties on four paying inventions and on fender brace now used on Ford cars.
 Mir. McLain's home Is in Hunts vile, although at the present timo he makes his headquarters at Wash ington. la, where he has a small experimental plant. being connected shere with B. A. Reilly as partner.
 Of course Alabama is always glad of her own successful men. and Will find interest in the fact that MT. &eLain believes that an invention he Is shortly to manufacture him self will have great bearing on the future of gas-turbine engines. All khe stock in the company has already heel sold.
