lite varieties Of raspberries is the
Cuthbert. 1t is very vigorous
grower and is most hardy and sturdy
in it's habits. 1t has an abundant
crop Of large bright red berries which
are easy to pick.
The st. Regis (sometimes called
Ranere) is deservedly popular, as it
is one Of the new "Everbearing" va
rieties and gives crop of fruit the
same year the bushes are planted,
and two crops a year afterwards,
covering a period of four months. 1t
surpasses most other berries in size,
quantity and quality.
The Cumberland Is an excellent
variety of the black raspberry. 1t is
very large, firm and splendid in
quality and in productiveness.
The Gregg also is another black
variety which is good to have in any
planting. as it combines fine quality,
good size and productivity, and
comes on just a little later than the
Cumberland.
To produce the best fruit, the old
canes of raspberries should be cut as
soon as the crop has been gathered.
OF the blackberries, the Mersereau
is large producer of extra large
fine berries. Their quality is extra
sweet and delicious, and they have
the advantage of being coreless.
This variety ripens very early.
The Snyder is particularly hardy,
and fruits very early. 1t is one of
the most popular sorts for the West.
EldoraGo is newer variety, and
claimed by many to be "the best yet"
The berries are large, sweet, and
jet black, and the plants are ex-
tremely hardy, coming through
without injury even in localities
where most other varieties winter
kill.

Urges Better Fire
Protection in Schools

Boston. May 19-Repetitions of
the Cleveland. S. c., school fire in
which 70 children and parents were
burned to death, are possible in many
schools of the United States and
Canada, Franklin H Wentworth,
secretary Of the National Fire Pro-
lection Association, said today. One
or more of the dangerous conditions
responsible for the South Carolina
tragedy exist in 80 per cent Of our
school buildings, he asserted.
"The National Fire Protection As
ISOLATION at it's 9th annual conven-
ton in Chicago, May $40, approved
the reports Of its committee on
ing schools safe," said Mr.. Went
worth. "The school code is a part of
the national building exits code, be-
ing prepared by the National Fire
Protection Association at the request
of the American Engineering Stan
dards committee.
"The Cleveland. S. c., building,
measured by the standards Of this
code, had a number of serious de-
fects, any one Of. which would have
been sufficient to condemn the
building for school use. In the first
place. no such inflammable construc-
ton should have been used or if used
the building should have been pro-
tected by automatic sprinklers. In
addition to this, the auditorium should
not have been above the first floor.
and 1t should have had at least two
substantially constructed stairways
or other exits each at least A inches
wide. Loss Of life by fire or panic is
possible If any one Of these rules is
violated as they are violated in the
ma ority of our schools today"

The rate of return on valuation Of
the roads began to rise in September.
1922. In that month. net income was
sufficient to insure a rate of return
Of 2.S9 percent on an annual basis.
In August the rate had fallen to
go percent a iult Of the heavy
operating cost / on the roads by
the strike of shopmen. In October
the rate Of return rose to 4.05 per-
cent and the increase continued until
December when a peak of 5.56 per-
cent was reached. February return
fell to 1913 percent. February always
is a month o6low rate Of return.
This is shown by the quick recovery
of March.
Since last fall, the roa DIS have been
handling a volume of freight which
is the largest in history for the fall
and winter months. The volume Is
still growing and records that have
stood for years are being broken al

railroads earned net income totaling
$83.568,000 in March according to
official reports just received by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
This net income is equal to
return Of 5.S4 percent on valuation
as fixed by the Commission. 1t is
the first month since March, 1922,
that the roads net has been above
the amount necessary to insure re-
turn OF 575 percent, prescribed by
the commission as fair rate on the
railroad valuation.
Rail securities, as a result Of the
rising earnings of the last few
months, are finding a more open

why Not Plant Raspberries and Blackberries
On the Home Place?
These Delicious Of
BY F. F. Rockwell, Horticultural Firesde"

There is no more delicious dish in
the summer time, at breakfast, din
ner or supper, than heaping saucer
of cleaning blackberries or fragrant
raspberries.
Where each berry is firm and
sound, the treat is that much more
delightful. There is just one way
however, by which we can be alb
solutely sure of having each berry
perfectly firm, sweet and sound, and
this is when they have been freshly
picked right before the meal in our
own garden.
No matter how carefully a box of
berries may have been picked and
packed, it is bound to lose some of
its freshness by the time we have
brought it from the market.
Since this is the case, why not use
a few square feet Of your yard to
set out some raspberry and black
berry plants this year, in order to be
able to bring a dishful of luscious
fruit directly to your own table!
1t takes very little space to grow a
few raspberry or blackberry plants.
They may be placed in some I'M
used corner of the. grounds. or
along the wall Of a building or
even along near the hedge or
be really ornamental as well as use
full.
Most Easily Grown Of All Small
Fruits
The cane fruits are extremely
sturdy in their habits of growth, and
will thrive in almost any ordinarily
good garden soil. Naturally, where
they are started in hiterto unused
soil or in sod. the bed must be given
more attention before the bushes are
planted.
The berry plants may be set out in
any good garden soil. If the subsoil
is hard. it should be broken up so as
to permit the surplus water to drain
and to enable the roots to go down
readily.
Enrich the soil with old and very
we'll rotted manure. or ground bone
meal. part Of which should be coarse
bone or inch bone" Pure bone is
very good to use for fertilizing, as
the plant-food it contains will be-
come gradually available for years to
come; add also a shovelful of wood

The ground area Of this house is
small, and the plan is nearly square,
with no breaks or extensions. This
means marked economy in construc-
ton.
This house measures but twenty
five feet six inches front. by twenty
two feet six inches deep, yet; the
plan arrangement allows the three
main rooms of the first floor to be of
good size, owing to the economical
use of every square foot of space.
But, the real feature of this house
is the second floor plan; here are three

Happenny Told EN- He'd Play Second And

boy ambled into the Cornet All Stars
dressing room one late June day.
He carried a telegram for one of
the players. That, in itself, was
amazing. Nobody, except the man
ager or secretary, ever received wires
at the park.
But more exciting still. it was
from big league pilot-"Kid" Glea-
son Of the White Sox. 1t was adj
dressed to Second Baseman J. Cliff

told them. "Ill take Eddie Collins
place"
An injury, you remember, had
forced Collins out of the game.
Of course the team thought Hap
penny was kidding. He really thought
so himself.
That night Clifford packed up and
entrained for the Windy City. A few
days more and Gleason had his John
Henry on contract.
Right away, Happenny jumped in
to Collins shoes, covering himself
with glory until Eddie returned.
And He's Scholar
Since then he has been getting in
to action frequently. Sometimes he's
on short. sometimes he's subbing for
Collins. Matters not where he's sta
toned, he gives a good account of
himself.
