The Charleston is one Of
the most ''see-abIe" dances the
ages have evoluted. It is
better as q sort of rythmic
drill growing wilder in pro-
portion to the number Of per-
formers. GeFshwin's "When
Do We Dance" number in
''Tip Toes'' or the Charleston
group in the 'Pitter Patter
Revue" demonstrate that the
movement has most strength
in numbers except when one
recalls how well the gifted
little Ruth Bennett does it as
a solo.

does my Aunt Minnie. What
neither of us is mad about,
however, is the individual who
thinks the mere ability to utter
a raucous "Hey, Hey" entities

ing imprints on our shellacked
floors that the sands of time
will never erase. The world is
full of these who think the
Charleston is a recitation ac-
companied by equity steps.
The number of people who
imagine they can Charleston, so
imperils the puny few who can,

Onions Good Crop
for Small Garden
Staple That Should Be Con-
sidered for Summer and
Winter Use.

Onions are one Of the most generally
grown garden crops of the whole list
and yet very few gardeners produce
more than enough for green onions in
the spring, and possibly few mature
onions for winter use. This is due
largely TO the fact that gardeners are
In the habit of going to the seed store
and buying a quart OF onion sets,
planting them and calling the Job
done. As a matter Of fact, there are
onions for almost every purpose and
those that mature at different times
Of the year. First, the little multi
plier or top onions can be planted In
the fall and In cold sections given
little covering of straw during the
winter. Farther south they Will need
no protection whatever. These are
ready for use as green onions Just as
soon as the first warm days of spring
arrive and later produce sets to be
planted the following autumn. Then
there are the old-fashioned potato
onions which multiply by division OF
the bulbs. These can be planted In
the fall or in the spring as desired,
and are used both as green and as ma
ture onions. They are very mild In
flavor and of excellent quality.
Bermuda and Spanish onions can be
grown by sowing the seed in the hot
bed and transplanting the sets to the
open ground when they are about the
size OF a slate pencil and the soil is
In condition to work. This is known
as new onion culture. There are a
number OF standard varieties Of regu-
lar summer onions such as Silver Skin,
Yellow Globe. Red Globe. Prize Taker,
japanese, and so on. that are suitable

Sweet Potatoes in
Thirty-Six States
Popular Tuber Should Have
Sandy Soil, Sunshine,
Plenty of Heat.

Sweet potatoes can be grown In at
least 80 states, according TO the rec
ords OF the United States Department
Of Agriculture. and there Is every rea-
son why a small planting Of sweet po-
tatoes should be made In every cottage
garden within those states, especially
where the soil Is Of a sandy nature.
While IL IL true that the sweet potato
crop In more or less uncertain In the
far North. yet IL the season Is reason
ably dry and warm and the plants
given good start. they will produce
fair crop. II Is a great satisfaction
to have supply of sweet potatoes
grown In the home garden.
Sweet potato plants are started In
hotbed and II is generally easier for
the cottage gardener to purchase the
necessary 100 or 200 plants rather
than to grow them. The plants, how
ever. should not be set In the open
ground until oil danger of frost Is past
and the soil is warm. Prior TO the set
ting OF the plants the soil should be
thoroughly prepared. First. II should
be spaded and thoroughly pulverized,
then drawn up into fat beds or ridges
with the hoe. little fertilizer being
worked Into the soil as II Ii bedded.
These beds should be about Inches
In height and Is inches in width. or
sometimes they are made foot In
height and is inches In width. The
beds are spaced about 3 or 81 feet
apart, leaving rather deep burrows be-
tween them, The plants are set IL
TO IS inches apart on the top OF the
beds and each plant IL given about
quart Of water around It's roots as Il
Is set. The soil Is then well drawn
about the plants
Sweet potatoes want plenty OF sun
shine and an abundance OF heat. but
not too much moisture. The surface
OF the soil should be kept loosened
and all weeds pulled out, but aside
from this, sweet potatoes require very
little attention.
The crop should be dug just as soon
as the vines are killed by frost; In
fact, the potatoes should be dug be
fore the vines are badly frozen. II
the vines become frozen II Is necessary
to cut them OF just above the ground
before the frozen sap has q chance TO
20 down Into the potatoes. Sweet po-
tatoes should be dug ON bright day,
