A definite move will be made this
Spring, in all likelihood, toward the old
time vegetable garden. 1t will be
another Of the good effects Of the de-
| preston.
If one keeps his eyes open as he goes
through the suburban districts he Will
| see evidences even this early of this
| movement back to the soil.
Already many home owners, who in
the peak years did not think 1t worth
/ their while to make garden, are
turning over their soil and tightening 1t
with ashes, etc.
Plots behind garages, formerly wasted,
this season will be turned to use. 1t is
amazing how many vegetables can be
grown in a very small space.
These vegetable gardens will be
strictly for home consumption. If one
wants to go into the trucking business
there is little use Of starting on any
less than the average size suburban lot,
say SO by $50 feet, all clear for plant
ing.
To have Just a few vegetables, how
ever, is another matter, and for them 1t
is not necessary to have so much
ground available. A segment of earth
no greater than 10 by 10 feet will grow
something.
Perhaps most home owners could turn
over a few square feet or at least a
flower bed, to the growing Of things
good to eat, if they wanted to. The
indications are that many more than
usual will want to this season.
There is thrill to growing vegetables
which growing lacks. 1t has
nothing to do with esthetiCS in particu-
lar, although 1t may have some aspects,
too.
This thrill is nothing more nor less
than the appeal to the stomach--an
honest appeal, If there ever was one.
Most human beings like good things
to eat.
1t is not necessary to be an out-and-
out gourmand to enjoy the things Of
the table, to appreciate edibles that
are fresh and tasty, that combine
luscious aromas and palate tickling
flavors and which make an inStan-
taneous appeal to the eye.
This is what it is to like good things
to eat, liking of which no one need
feel ashamed. Evidently there is no
apology put up for it anywhere. The
whole world eats, and talks about
eating.
luQeeC, Tie JdDUe HAS Deeu Nldue d
rite, especially in the most civilized
countries Savages wolf their meals,
but members of civilized countries (and
all the term means is city-ized) sit
down to tables glittering with china
and glass.
The honest vegetables have come to
be hOnOred guests at the board.
There was a time in this country
when vegetables were thought good
enough for the poor mans table, but
regarded as scarcely more than side
dishes on the fine damaSks OF the rich
and moderately well-to-do.
AS for salad green's" as they were
known, they scarce were permitted in
the days when no man who could
afford variety of meats would have
been content with anything less, as he
and the food science OF the day re-
garded such matters.
During the past couple OF decades
however, with the precise experiments
Of such men as McCollum of Baltimore
and many fellow scientists throughout
the world, an entire new mass Of data
has been developed.
Food science today is really food
science. And with It has come bet
ter appreciation of vegetables, of milk
and OF fruits.

out and to return at noon, when, 1t was
confidently expected, the safes would be
gone. A few detectives were left on
hand, on the possible assumption that
it takes more than q falling safe to
hurt good headquarters detective.
When the employees returned at noon
on Thursday the safes were still there,
and the employees were told to go away.
When the workers returned on Friday
morning the safes were still there, and
they were again told to 60 away.
When the employees returned on Fri
day afternoon the safes were still
there, and they were once more
told to go away. When the employees
returned for work this morning one
safe was on truck, one safe was on
the ground, one safe was still on the
fifth floor, and, as this is written, the
employees were in great uproar whetk-
er to work or not to work, whether to
let the public enter the building or
whether to keep the public out until
the remaining third of the supply Of
safes was removed.
All of which is by way of explaining
one reason why the Commissioners have
again extended the "deadline" for the
expiration of 1881 automobile tags.
One may draw ones own conclusions
regarding the need for the assignment
Of another Army Engineer officer, re-
tired Army Engineer officer or a re-
signed Army Engineer officer to the
District Building, whose duty it will be
to move safes or to keep them from
being moved to locations where they
will have to be moved again.

Europe has been informed by Secre-
tary Stimson," recalls the Chicago
Daily News, ''in an explicit note to M
Claudel, the French Ambassador, that
the United States declines to recognize
any connection between war debts and
reparations, and that any attempt
such as MuSsolini raShly suggested-to
unite Europe against America would be
resented. Europe has been told that
Congress will not sanction any extern
sion Of the Hoover moratorium at pres
ent, and that therefore the debtor
countries, II really unable to pay the
annuitteS provided for in the debt
funding settlements. will be expected to
deal separately with the United States
for any temporary readjustment of
terms. Further, it has been made
obvious that the United States will de-
mand from any government that pro-
poses downward revision of the debt
founding settlements proof of inability
to pay. The position of the admins
tration is in complete accord with
that of Congress and with public opin-
ion"
Mr.. StimSon informs France" says
the Newark Evening News, that a de-
mand for new debts moratorium
could not obtain approval in Congress
and the Senate opposes a cancellation
or reduction of the debts. For the in
sularity of Congress the administration
is to blame only so far as it has failed
to exercise the vigorous leadership that
would keep the Congress from stupid
tiles, But the Congress is doing only
what the politicians of France, Eng
land, Germany and other countries are
doing. lev are all kidding their own
publics. tying to make them believe
they will do what these politicians know
very well they can't do. Every intelli-
gent man in Congress, for instance,
knows this country will do what it has
to do and take what it can get. To
build up a propaganda, setting the
public mind against the inevitable,
does infinite harm, but, with elections
impending here and there, who gives a
whoop for the public INTEREST,""

elimination in favor Of the common
carriers against the private motor car
is the prohibition Of bus parking
in the streets. There can be no
doubt that unless such prohibition is
applied the number of buses standing
in the streets and requiring parking
space will steadily increase. With that
increase will come further encroach-
ments upon the space that remains for
curb parking by private cars.
Continued postponement Of the mat
ter of requiring the bus lines to provide
terminals and waiting spaces within
the squares merely adds to the diff
culties. AS long as the bus lines are
permitted to use the streets freely as
terminals, without rental, they will
themselves delay the provision of
proper facilities that do not trespass
upon the public space.

An Astonishing PROPOSAL.

The country will read with astonish-
ment reports that subcommittee OF
the House Appropriations Committee
has proposed in the War Department
appropriation bill to reduce the per-
sonnel of the A my by 10, 900 men. Econ
omy or no economy, the Army of the
United States has been reduced to a
minimum for years when the national
defense needs of the country are con-
sidered The Democratic House lead
erS will do themselves and the coun-
try no good if they back this proposed
slash In the military forces of the
United States. Even in an era when
peace prevailed throughout the world
the cut would have been unjustifiable.
With conhagration raging in the
Far East which may involve many ma
tions before it is reduced, the proposal
is intolerable
The memory of the American people
| is not long, as rule. But the situation
that existed in the United States, so
far as national defense is concerned,
at the time of the entry of this coun-
try into the World War can scarcely
have been forgotten. The legislation
enacted by Congress following the close
of that war looks to some measure of
military training for the citizenry and
to a skeleton organization Of the Reg
hi If eli In
of need. 1t appears that it Is the de-
termination of certain members Of the
House Committee to do away with the
training camps, which in themselves
cost the country far far less than the
value received by the men who at
tend these camps and the greater value
still to the country as a measure Of
national defense.
In Geneva there has gathered a con-
ference of the nations TO arrive at
agreement for some limitation of arma-
ments. 1t is in the cause Of interna-
tional peace and to help relieve the tax
burdened peoples of the world. Every
one should wish the conference success.
The United States has taken leading
part in the disarmament movement
and in bringing about agreements
among the great naval powers to limit
the building of Navy vessels of all
classes. But there has been no sugges-
ton from responsible governmental
sources that even an agreement at
Geneva for arms limitation would ne
cessitate a further reduction in the land
forces of the United States.
Yet now it is proposed in the draft
of the War Department bill to re-
duce the size of the American Army
by 1000 officers and 5000 enlisted men.
The full Committee on Appropriations
should reject the proposal of the sub
committee. And if the measure goes
to the House carrying the proposed re-
duction she House should turn it down
While this proposal to eliminate
10000 men from the Army is advanced,
other groups at the Capitol are urging
the appropriation of hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars to put other men on the
Government pay roll so as to reduce
unemployment. These other men, en-
ployed in civilian roles and for con-
struction of Government works, would
be paid at far higher rates than the
men it is proposed to remove from the
Army. 1t does not appear, therefore,
that the country would save anything
by throwing 10000 Army men out of
employment, adding that number to
the roll Of the unemployed.

of which hit the edges of the bridge
The third registered direct hit, doing
considerable damage.
Capt. IshikaWa, in command OF a

the supposed position Of the enemy

from an altitude of 1000 feet. most
of which were effective. Theoetically
the enemy regiment was crushed. Re

TAX BILL TO Be
DRAFTED BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS
Hearings Convince Trainers
No Levy Is Popular and
Protests Are in Vain.

BIZ Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The
house ways and means committee
will begin work next week on the
actual draft of the tax bill which
it hopes will help wipe out the ST.
10000 900 treasury deficit by the
end of June, 1884.
After listening to protests for
three weeks, the committee called a
halt to open hearings, resigned to
the conclusion that mo tax is a
popular tax" and Convinced that
"the only way to balance the bud
get is to balance the budget" and
let the chips fall where they may.
Even committee members are I'M
willing to prophesy what taxes
finally will be written into the bill.
Inside the committee, as well as out,
blocs have formed opposing levies
on automobiles and appliances, ra-
dos, gasoline, on electricity and
gas bills, telephone and telegraph
messages.
Opposition to boost on income
tax and inheritance tax schedules
has been melting rapidly, but COM
mitteemen think it will not be pos
sible to raise more than S400,0D0 900
by these proposed increases.
Proponents of levy on fuel and
light argue that a per cent tax
on electricity and gas bills and~ a
1-cent a gallon tax on gasoline will
yield in excess of $200,oOO,000, but
powerful opposition has developed
to these plans.

Fifteenth congressional district are
not likely to discipline Representa-

Pennsylvania Republican voters,
instead of arising to rebuke McFad-
den because of his charge that the

nominate him, according to reports
reaching Washington.
McFadden has two opponents,
Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, wife of the
Governor, herself a vigorous critic of
administration policies, and Fred G..
Rickenbacker, who is running as a
100 per cent administration sup
porter.
But they are not concerning me
