UNUSUAL PLOT IN
 NEW GRIFFITH FILM

D. w. Griffith's newest screen pro- duction, "The White Rose" deals al- most entirely with the South The story concerns an orphan waif who wins the heart and hand of scion of wealth and position. There figures also in the romance an opposite in the person of naughty and socially proud girl of means who has much difficulty in discouraging the attentions of a youth who has been less fortunate and happens to be the son of the village grocer. The boy makes good and he eventually wins the girl. A negro nanny" and her arduous dusky ad- mirer pair off in contrast and afford the comedy for the whole.
 The picture is of the South. In the main it is distinctively pastoral and as the producer is recognized to be without an enjual in such a field of endeavor it may be reasonable to ex- pect that his newest work will be un- usually appealing.

SALMON EGGS
 REACH SEWARD
 FOR HATCHERY

With million and a half king sal mon eggs in his care, Supt. Karl Dra- ger, of the Grouse Lake hatchery, ar rived on one of the last boats and safely transplanted his young charges in the matching tanks at the local plant. MT. Drager also brought one million eggs for the Cordova hatchery and two million were left in Ketchi- kan. The embryo fish came from Oregon, and were brought to Ketchi- kan by Supt. Wentworth of the Blu reau of Fisheries, and after being given a short rest from travel, were safely transferred to the care of the local man. The eggs were kept alive by means of ice and wet moss, the moss being dampened occasionally. MT. Drager believes that the kings placed in the local hatechery this week, will give Resurrection Bay a large supply of fish four years from now as the eggs are apparently hardy and already eyed.
 Mrs. Drager, who made the trip as far as Ketchikan with MT. Grager, continued on to Seattle, where she will visit for time before returning North.

Types of Lettuce.

only in shaded beds, carefully tended,
which comparatively few will bother
with. But during the rest of the gar
den year some variety of lettuce is
possible.
There are four types of lettuce gem
orally grown in this country-leaf, but
ter-head, crisp-head and COS. All let
tuces tend to make heads. In some
sections it takes coaXing to make any
of them head. 1t requires to be grown
fast, without check, to produce the
tender, sweet leaves that we enjoy.
The soil, then, must be light, quickly
warmed, as rich as possible, especially
in nitrogen, and there should be
plentiful supply of water. The richest
spot in your garden should be chosen
for lettuce and then it should be ma
nured, if possible, and additional feed
ing with nitrate of soda is advisable.
The first variety to SOW Is head let
tuce, which should always be started
indoors The plants may be set out
doors as soon as the garden soil can
be prepared. Keep reserve in case
the first planting should be killed by
hard freeze. In very rich soil, with
such an early start, head lettuce OF
these varieties should be ready in &c
days from date of sowing.
When the head lettuce is set out
SOW seed of leaf variety. This may
be sown thickly and thinned out to
one plant every two inches. Alternate
plants may then be harvested hall
grown, until a spacing Of six inches
has been reached. All lettuce varie
ties need at least six inches in the
row to reach full growth, and some
need more.
Seed of a crisp-headlng type, such
as New York, the largest of lettuce
varieties, or Mignonette, one of the
smallest and surest to head, may be
sown at the same time MS the leaf va
rieties and the seedlings transplantec
when they make true leaves. New
York must have Mt least a foot be
tween plants in the row. 1t will ma
ture slowly, stand hot weather wei
and furnish the last crop of the frs
season.
Cos lettuce, or romaine. which many
esteem as the finest Of lettuces, may
be started indoors or outdoors to fit
into the succession where one pleases.
1t natures in about so days. For the
fall season omit the crlsp-heads and
start the desired varieties in shaded
seed bed in July to be transplante6

To Supply Table
With Vegetables
Coldframe Is Advocated as
Means of Providing the
Crispy Greens.

Kitchen gardens were II necessary
adjunct to the home in the earlier days,
but at present II Kitchen cOldframe Is
advocated as II means OF supplying the
family table with fresh lettuce, pars-
ley. radishes, cress, and other -yegeta-
bles ut periods of the year when 1t is
too cold to grow these things in the
open ground. While it Is true that the
cOldframe may not give very good re-
suits during the winter months, espe-
cially in the northern part of the coun-
try, yet in the early spring excellent
results may be had from its use, ac-
cordlng to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The construction of coldframe is
comparatively simple, as the side walls
may be made of boards, brick, hollow
tile or concrete. Where the construc-
tiOn Is of boards, cypress lumber should
be used and it is good plan to have
the walls made double and some dry
straw or planning mill shavings packed
in the space between them. If the
walls are of brick, they should be
plastered, both inside and out, to make
them nir-tight. Hollow-tile Z walls
should also be plasterel the same as
brick.
One of the best types Of construction
is simply to put in II little foundation,
then set up frames and tamp in we'll
mixed concrete consisting Of about
three parts clean, broken stone or
gravel, two parts sharp sand and one
part cement. The ingredients should
be placed on a mixing board or in a
box and thoroughly mixed while dry,
then water add, d gradually and the
mass turned three or four times until
II is thoroughly mixed and is of a CON
slstency that can readily be tamped as
It Is put into the forms.
The size Of codframe to build will
depend upon circumstances. Standard
coldframe or hotbed sash are by 6
feet in size and the frame may be CON
structcd to accommodate one, two, or
even as high as five or six of these
sash. The front or south wall of the
coldframe should be about - inches in
height. while the rear or north wall
should be "a to 30 inches high, and
the ends sloping to correspond with
the front and rear walls. Wooden
plates, preferably of by cypress
material, should he bedded on top of
the wall and held in place by bolts

May Have Lettuce
for Every Season
Popular Vegetable Should
Be Started Indoors to
Get Good Plants.

Lettuce has come to be a staple veg
etable on the table. 1t appears in
many families almost as often as pOta-
toes and fills dietary need quite as
important. 1t supplies In cheap and
most pnlatable form the vitamines A,
B and c, which have been discovered
to play so large part In health main
tenance.
Next to Swiss chard, lettuce is the
most profitable vegetable for the home
gardener. 1t will be found even more
useful than chard, for 1t will be well
coined on the table every day, which
can hardly be said of chard. Every
well-planned home garden should pro-
vide for n succession of lettuce crops
which will provide the finest quality
for the longest season, and this takes
careful planning.
Lettuce is a cool-season crop. When
hot summer comes 1t runs to seed so
quickly that from the last of July to

Dandelions, Regarded as
Nuisance, Fine Greens

Yellow heads and green leaves of
dandelions are among the first things
to bob up on lawns in spring, They
are so early that they usually come
along in the footsteps of the robin,
spreading over the entire greensward
so rapidly that grass Is frequently
crowded out.
General nuisance" is the term dan
delions go by wherever lawnkeepers
have the experience of trying to kill
them, but in many sections cooks find
they add another variety to the list OF
early egetables-"greens" and salads.
Experts tests have verified the opinion
of the practical cook. Tender dande-
lions can be made use of in various
WAYS. according to home economic spe-
cialists.
One way to handle dandelions, ac-
cording to Miss Katherine Howells of
the home economics division, Iowa
State college. is to cut off the roots,
separate and thoroughly wash the
leaves, dry them in cloth, and they
should be marinated few minutes be-
fore serving in French dressing sea-
soned with n few drops of onion juice"
The leaves are also boiled in salted
water until tender and served with
butter and vinegar. They may bf
canned by the cold pack method.

rlous than mere annoyance; they are
carriers of disease germs, particularly
of the plague. Leprosy and other dis
eases also are declared to be trace
able to the annoying flea.
The government scientists did a
thorough job of investigating fleas af-
ter they had forced themselves on
their attention. They discovered that
there are more than 400 different va
rieties of this tiny, predatory insect
and that some creatures, notably rats,
may be infected with at least twenty
different species.
There are only two kinds which
usually pay any attention to man, for
tunately. These are the human flea
which has the impressive Latin name
of puleX irritans, and the dog flea,
ctenocephalus canus.
The flea Is produced from eggs of
which some 450 are laid every day by
the female insect. From two to twelve
days are required for the Matching of
these eggs. When first Matched the
flea is not very active, lacking eyes
and legs. OF course these embryo
creatures are very small.

Where the coldframe can be located
on the south side of the garage, this
will give it extra protection. A we'll
constructed bed of this character will
provide lettuce and other salad crops
without the application of artificial
heat. Plants may be started in the
living room during February and plant
cd in the bed in March, giving n sup
ply OF salad for the table during the
spring months or until outdoor let

grown.
