BRITAIN LEADS IN DOGS

While there has never been any of- ficial census of dogs in this country, an unofficial census made recently shows there are now about 3,75e,000 dogs in the, United Kingdom.
 Before the war the dog population was more than 4.000 900, but by 1918 it had fallen to less than 9,000,000. It is now increasing rapidly and within few years will probably ex- ceed the pre-waT numbers.
 There are more dogs ill Great Brit ain than in any other European country. The French come next. their canine population being about 2,S00,000. Germa aA however, poa- sesses only 1,100,00O dogs.
 As compared with the human pop ulation, the Cana dian northwest still holds the record for dogs. No other animal can compete with the dog in pulling loads over frozen snow, and it is reckoned that all through tha gold and fur country of Canada, there are three times as many dogs as people.-Answer, London.

MontcIair Society Matron Tolls For Half A Day To Assist Rutgers College

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Mrs. John Alvin Young of Upper Montclair. so- cially prominent, earned the s4 that she and every other member of the New Jersey state Federation of Wom en's clubs will contribute toward the erection of s1b0,000 building foI music study at Rutgers college, by working half a day as an interior decorators helper
 The federation, instrumental in es- tablishing the College of Women al Rutgers, recently decided to give the building and agreed that each wom an should earn by her own labor the S4 she contributed.
 Mrs. Young, wife of a former New York banker, now connected with the Tide Water oil company, lives at No 320 Park street, in the best residential section. Though wealthy and active ir community affairs, the. problem oi earning the money was not so easy as 1t might seem. However, her home is undergoing repairs. When an in terior decorator arrived Tuesday tc start work, he could not proceed be- cause his helper had not shown up An idea occurred to Mrs. Young.
 What do you pay your helper? she asked.
 One dollar an hour. He will bt here tomorrow"
 T would like to take the position for today. I am sure I can do it, said Mrs Young. After the surprised

fh success. No it is not too late to plant.
 Q. What time do you plant horse radish and should have seed or must l put out rootsf c. M. R. F. D. g. .g
 A. Any time in the next 30 days will be all right for horse radish, the earlier the better Roots only should be used and if put in rich heavy soil and cultivated, will afford some edible roots the coming sum mer or fall.
 Q. How long is required to pro- duce asparagus? Mrs. S., Blocton, Ala.
 A. All depends on whether you use seed or plants-the size or age of the plants has much to do with it. If you put out now, good strong two- year-old plants In the proper manner right now, some asparagus san be expected the coming season but fall bearing may not be expected until the following season.
 Q. What bulbs may be safely planted now? B. S., Jasper, Ala.
 A. Il is getting late for most bulgs that are generally planted in the fall, such, for example, as hyacinths, narcissus. tulips. etc. but there are a number of bulbs. such as various amoryllis, spider lily and some other hardy lilies that maybe planted now.
 Q. We want to plant beans for a spring crop, but want large podded sort, not valentine, and inasmuch as we don't know the variety, will ask you to tell us. J. H.. R. F. D. 6.
 A. In bunch sorts, we can recom- mend the bountiful and Tennessee Wonder. Both of these varieties are very much like pole beans and out sell any other green podded bunch sorts.
 Q. We want to plant the annual yellow blooming sweet clover Are we too late or how late can the seed be gotten in to make a showing the first year? H. J., Tuskegee. Ala
 A. It is permissibl to plant an- nual sweet clover as late as Febru- ary or March, but the sooner the better. It may be planted alone or can be sown with oats. grasses or any of the grains.
 Q. In setting out strawberry plants do you trim or prune them? Mrs. E. Ensley, Ala.
 A. It Is generally desirable to re- move all of. the older foliage and to cut off most of the old roots. The old roots don't grow. It is only the new roots that put out from the crown that promotes growth.

suiphate of ammonia? E. F. Gun tersville, Ala.
 A. Much would depend on the an. alysis of the two. Generally. sul- cent stronger in ammonia than nitrate of soda and is consequently nor, valuable yet it Is not as soluble and under certain conditions, the nitrate Of soda might prove more economicaI The price at which the material could be obtained should largely determine the use.
 Q. What variety of beets sell best on the Birmingham market? L.. S. Fort Deposit. Ala.
 A. Crosby's Egyptian and Detroit Both are very dark red, the former is flat or oval, while the latter is more of globe shape.
 @. How can you keep mice from eating up the seed you save Miss N, Attalla, Ala. A
 A The best plan would be to put In stone jars or tin cans. The ad- mixture of a little lime. sulphur or both is generally effective.
 e. When you want to poison rats with strychnine. how do you go about it? They are running my oats that are stored in the sheaf? B. B., Blountsville. Ala.
 A. A good plan would be to dis solve about an ounce of strychnine in or 3 gallons of water. using hot water to hasten solubility, then mix in one or two bushels of threshed oats, add more water if necessary so the oats can be thoroughly moist. Let the mixture soak for about 24 hours. then spread out and dry. This poisoned bait may then be placed where the rats can get to 1t, Va rious poisons may be used and it is a good idea to change both bait and poisons from time to timea
 Q. Is the painting of flower pots calculated to injure the plant? I am told that it does. Miss S., Florence Ala.
 A. Ordinarily plants do not do well in painted pots because the paint closes up the pores of the pot and prevents natural evaporization.
 Q. Does it hurt sweet peas for the water to stand in the trenches after the seed are planted?' Mrs. D., Bessemer.
 A. It certainly does. The end of the trenches ought to be opened so the water will drain out Sweet pea rows ought to be located so there will be good drainage. a big factor

SCIENTISTS SEEK
 0LD BURIED CITY
May Be Necessary To Search Under Dead Sea For Sodom
 And Gomorrah

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 15,-(By Asso- ciated Press0---It may be necessary to search under the Dead sea to To- cate the sites of Sodom and Gomor- rah. according to rhe Rev. Melvin G. Kyle, president of the Nenia Theological seminary here. who will head scientific expedition to Palestine, sailing December 2s. The party will search for the exact To- cation of the cities of the plain" which also include Zoar, Admah and Zeboiim.
 According to the Biblical account. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire and birthstone because of the wick edaess of their inhabitants, and Arabian tradition says the pillars of salt into which Lots wife was turned still stands.
 pr. Kyle, who also is professor of Biblical archaeology at the local in- atitutiop, expressed the opinion that the date. 1892 B. C., for the de- struction of the two cities is, ap- proNimately correct. He said he be- licvcs the sites of the two cities arc under the shallow part of the Dead sea. which has no outlet and ll which no piscatorial life can exist

Why not tear down. the decayine and unsightly fences and improve and enhance the value of your prop erty by using plants?
 If properly pruned and taken care of it does not decay and really be- comes more beautiful and valua ble as the years advance. The idea k prctieal and where the hedge is prop er!y taken care of the plants dontf become leggy or unsightly. Two varieties are especially reeomm ended viz the California privet and the Armurr river. The California is not strictly evergreen because it does shed some and especially after very severe weather. but the plant re- covers so quickly that one scarcely notices any defoliation. The main factor in success is to use small plants in setting out, put them on stick, not over six to eight inches apart and cut back to within three or four inches of the ground The plant is almost both fool proof and Insect proof. The Amurr river privet is similar to the California only it is strictly an evergreen the foliage a little darker and smaller. It is very compact in it's growth and not only produces beautiful hedge but for specimen plants grown apart in dividually it is most excellent It is rapid grower and in rich soil will grow more than 20 feet high. It may be trimmed however, to conform to any shape or height.

VARIETIES IN ROSES

The Age-Herald is asked everyday by some rose enthusiast what vari- cities to plant when and how. There are probably more than thousand sorts listed, a great many of which are so much alike that the multipti- cation of names ought to be dis couraged and a great bulk of them altogether eliminated. l notice. for example, that one nursery offers more than 400 varieties. How can an amateur wade through all the descriptions and then make a safe and sane selection. The writer makes no pretense that he knows all the vari- cities listed and 1t might be here noted that many varieties described are merely old favorites renamed and the description modified or changed in such manner as to decieve the pur- chasers. There is no purpose here to discourage' the purchase of new varieties, but unless the buyer is familiar with the new sort, he should only buy a limited quantity, prove it out and then he can know whether the variety meets his approval

sdecorator had been acquainted with Mrs. Young's need of employment he agreed to let her work half a day. Mrs. Young suitably garbed, began work at s:90 o'clock, filling cracks and scratches with plaster and keeping the decorator supplied with, materials. As the work progressed the decorator seemed satisfied. M When lunch time came at 12:30 o'clock Mrs. oung remembered an engagement she had made for : o'clock and proposed to knock off for the day.
 The decorator objected. Her en- gagement, he said, was for half a day. and half day it should be. She must be on the job l o'clock and work another hour, or no half days pay would be forthcoming. Mrs. Young bowed to the authority of her boss, worked the required hour and ac- cepted the S4 with pride.

been worked out whereby two of the
Claymont Schools are having hot
lunches served one day a week.
The Community Nurse is having q
good soup made by some of the inter-
ested women Of the community. She
went before the WOmen's Club and
asked for their OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
to say every one was quite anxious to
do her bit. There are about six COM
mittees Of two women each who act
once week making the SOUP in
their homes. The teachers and children
plan the kind of soup they wish, and
do the marketing on Tuesdays. The
nurse sees that the materials are de-
liVered and gives advice as to the
quantity needed, etc. She then goes
after it the following day a few min
utes before the noon hour, and takes
the large kettles Of soup to the schools
in her car.
The children finance the project
themselves, paying four cents a cup.
They are very grateful for this, and
enjoy it immensely. On the other four
days Of the school week they have hot
cocoa, making this themselves in the
school room.
