Old Gardener
..........................................=Says:=

ATOWEN who work in their own
w gardens and find the ordinary
steel rake heavy and cumbersome will
be delighted with bamboo rakes which
come from Japan and are very cheap.
Metal rakes now being made in this
country have the same pattern and
are almost as light. These rakes are
especially useful when cleaning up
leaves and grass clippings, but can be
used also in garden work of light
nature. They can be handled in much
the same way as broom, and with
much less effort than is required to
manipulate rakes of the old-fashioned
type. These rakes do not look very
strong, but will stand remarkable
amount of hard service. Naturally the
metal rakes are somewhat more dur
able than the Japanese product but
the latter is cheap and surprisingly
satisfactory.

Longest American Tunnel

The Cascade railroad tunnel, long
est on the American continent, is 7.19
miles in length. 1t was built through
solid granite, and is lined throughout
with concrete. The tunnel is straight
as rifle bore, but the eastern portal
is 634 feet higher than the western.
This gives continual flow Of fresh
air through the tube. Work was COM
menced December %, 1925, and the
tunnel was completed ready for track

everybody hated Glutton; that he was
so selfish that when he found more
food than he could eat he spoiled
what was left so that no one else
should have any; that he was SO
smart in a lad way that no one could
hide anything from him, and that he
was so strong and savage that most
of the people who lived in the Great
Woods were afraid of him.
Then Honker the Goose had told
how he had watched Glutton follow

DEBT HOLIDAY
DEADLINE IS
APPROACHING
Hoover Would Have
Proposal Begin
Tuesday

WASHINGTON, June 29.-LRJ-
some additional hope appeared in
moratorium discussions here today
with the deadline proposed for
imitation OF the debt holiday less
than AZ hours away.
As negotiations continued, Of
ficials emphasized that President
Hoover intended the suspension OF
payments on inter-governmental
debts 10 apply 10 the year beginning
at midnight tomorrow. Some held
that failure to obtain ratification
py that time from all nations in
vowed might necessitate more
negotiation with Its attendant de-
lay.
Hope was injected by formal ac-
ceptances from two nations close
TO France. The opinion was express
ed that the endorsements by Poland
and CzechoSlovakia indicated a
belief in those countries that
Frances still-pending objecSons
would not prove unSurmountable.
Preliminary discussions Official
iy began a week ago today. Secre-
tary StimSon suggesting that speedy
conclusion would be necessary for
the plan to benefit business as
much as President Hoover intend
ed. Despite that suggestion. France
must yet agree upon procedure to
make the suspension effective.
Secretary Mellon and Ambassador
Edge were looked 10 today for
progress toward conclusion Of
preliminaries. Officials in WASH
ington said these two emissaries
might obtain a Franco-G German
understanding which would absorb
differences between France and the
United States.
President Hoover had anticipated
no reservations. and at least one
suggestion advanced by France was
seen here as a question that Ger
many only can answer. That was
the demand that Germany not use
credits from funds under postpone
ment for other than economic
purposes. Other points. officials
believed, could be adjusted by
Franco-G German discussions.
Notwithstanding the remaining
differences. diplomats were opti-
mistic that an agreement might be
reached although they recognized
that much tedious labor would be
necessary.
