by this lack Of control in the elements, Kirwin
became elemental in his questioning of the
girl.
Born and brought up in New York,
Eighth avenue you say? Then why out here?"
What's girl who's poor to do to feed her
self? Not but what the men1l feed her-n
she's fool! man goes and marries, and gets
a girl baby. And does he have that girl baby
taught trade when she leaves grammar school,
like he does his sons? He does not! He throws
her out-in front of men-to catch husband!
'Tisn't fair to the girls Look at me: didn't
know how to do thing except dance. I'd learn
ed how to do that on the sidewalks, to hurdy-
gurdies.''
Her voice became shriller, more filled with
excitement.

slicked down with grease till it looked like
shiny black shoes-Id have to scratch for my
living, got busy and hunted job in cheap
dance hall in that part Of town. My job was
to dance with any man who came in and
hadn't got girl along. Not much of a trade,
but it was long sight better than the one my
sister took up. That was another trade you
didn't have to be trained for!
Mary, be CAREFUL! my mother kept telling
me. "A girl has got to be careful-because the
men won't be careful for her.
"By the time I'd learned the game of taking
care Of myself, I'd worked up to a sweller dance
hall on Broadway. The fellows who came in
there were clean, except In their minds But
kept saying to myself: Mary, be CAREFUL
And then, one evening, in came seedy-
looking man who made you think he'd seen
better times and a fatter living. Always shaved
clean, and smeled of talcum powder. But his
clothes we're brushed until there wasn't a bit
of nap left on them, I used to think when
was dancing with him and looking at his Shout
der. He was an actor, out of job he told
me. They tell you the story Of their lives
when they're dancing with you.
"Once he came in downright hungry
shared with him that night the dinner the
management gave me.
IT got in the habit Of looking for him, and
sharing my dinner with him. 1 respected my
self lot because was giving him dinner in
stead of him feeding me. Silly, wasn't tt?"
She looked at Kirwin.
Kirwin nodded gravely. II understand that

So should l. in your place"
"Thanks!" said Mary Casey. "Well-you

Some Marriage Dreams
That Don't Come True

During the present season 25,QOO
prospective chorus girls applied for
employment with New York city's the
atrical producers. Most of them came
from small towns and cities from all
over the country. About 5000 found
jobs with shows" good, bad and in
different. What became OF the other
z0.UtpO ii would be difficult to say. The
average professional life Of chorus
girls is three short years and they
may expect many weeks of idleness in
this period. There always is an over
abundant supply of new ones to select
from every fall. Perhaps $50 attain
10 speaking parts in plays in one sea-
son. The rest are rarely heard of
again. Most stage-struck girls dream
of brilliant marriages to men of wealth
but that is an Elusive dream. o. O..
Mcintyre, New York theatrical critic.
says not more than ten chorus girls
have married millionaires in the last
ten years and most of these matches
have ended in divorce.

Garden Located
With Care Best
Select Soil Well Supplied
With Plant Food to Get
Good Returns.

In selecting the site for the vege-
table g&rden this spring, care should
be takdn in locating the garden on
soil that is well supplied with plant
food, advises A. M. Binkley, associ-
ate professor OF horticulture at the
Colorado Agricultural college.
Soil Is Important.
Good soil is essential to a success
full garden, he says. It is often pos
sible to select site a little distance
from the house that will yield better
results, with less labor, than one
closer to the house with unfavorable
soil. As rule, though, it is desir-
able to have the garden fairly close
to the house.
A sandy soil, on land that slopes
gently to the south is desirable, for
generally it Will "warm up" early
and enable the gardener to plant and
harvest early crops.
Good drainage is very desirable. A
good fence around the garden is.
often Indispensable for protection of
Lne crops from IdTm animals, tneluu-i
ing poultry.
No amount of cultural care viii re
place sunshine! This highly impor-
tant truth should not be overlooked
in selecting the location for the vege-
table garden and in arranging the
crops, declares Mr.. Binkley.
Exposure to Sunshine.
Careful consideration should be
given to the number Of hours of ex-
posture to sunshine each day. AS
rule. foliage crops such as lettuce
and spinach do fairly well in partial
shade, but should have not less than
three hours of sunshine per day.
Plants which ripen fruit, such as
tomatoes, require more sunshine, and
should have minimum of five hours
of sunshine daily.

Common Salt Poisoning
Is Easily Preventable

Next to lead and paint poisoning,
the most frequent type of mineral
poisoning is caused by common salt.
Ordinarily, salt poisoning occurs only
when salt-hungry animals are sudden
" given access to liberal quantities of
dry salt, fish brines, or picking solu-
tons. They gorge themselves, develop
extreme thirst accompanied by severe
diarrhea, foaming at the mouth, and
abdominal pains. Paralysis, particu-
larly of the hind quarters, may result,
followed by coma and death in from
four to ten hours. AS small quantity
as three pounds may prove fatal to n
cow while a lesser amount may result
in the death of a sheep or hog.

Slaughter by Any Name

The report OF the Pennsylvania game
commission shows that 25,O97 does
were killed in the open season last
year, total less than had been first
predicted. The course is defended as
necessary to reduce the deer herd to
a size commensurate with its natural
food supply"
But this solution of the Malthusian
problem in deerland stirred up as
much criticism as the original theory
when first applied to the human race
one hundred thirty years ago.

Lasting Influence of
Limestone on Yields

The question Is often asked as to
the lasting crop producing usefulness
Of limestone. How long will lime
stone continue to influence crop pro-
duction?
The West Salem field in Illinois af-
fords some data on the subject. A
four-ton per acre application made in
1911, and without subsequent applica-
tions, was still giving slight re-
Spouse in 1927. For the first nine
years OF this period this single appli-
cation gave increasing returns; dur
ing the last seven years the returns
have been diminishing.

tary paper wrapping for food Is too familiar to
all to require termination, but the circle Of its
usefulness Is ever widening.
Market-going women and perh0pS those who
do their provisioning by telephone haye become
. familiar recently with an absolutely transparent
paperlke wrapping on various food products,
bacon, bread and candy, for instance. They will
be interested perhaps, to learn that this wrap

Ordinarily paper bags suggest something in
which couple Of pounds Of groceries may be

manufactured and used paper bags large enough
to contain an assembled automobile to protect

The uses Of paper in the manufacture Of fur

largely made OF paper and carpet yarns are
