Billion Acre, SURVEYED

Nearly billion acres of farm lands
In the United States have been
mapped by soil surveyors of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
This area is greater than the COM
bined area of European Germany,
France. and Great Britain. The work
is now progressing at the rate OF
more than 15.O00,OOO acres each year,
and department officials estimate that
between 20 and 80 years will be re-
quired to complete the survey. The
cost of this work is between and 3
cents an acre.

BACK YARD GARDEN

A LITTLE garden at the back of the
city lot, bit of space where
green things may grow in neat rows,
half dozen tomato plants, bush
beans, carrots, radishes and onions
what joy it can add to ones life.
Even where space is not such factor
a small garden near the kitchen where
it may be tended is to be recon-
mended.
A garden south or west of the house
gets more protection from cold winds,
and better sunlight. Any kind of soil
with proper handling will make good
gardens. Place the rows so that they
get as much spacing as possible, max
ing the garden look trim by the prop
er spacing and placing of seeds. Plan
the crops so that the soil is working
all summer. The time to plant de-
pends upon the date of the last frosts,
which is not always reliable, but many
of our vegetables like lettuce, rad
ishes. turnips, spinch and parsley are
not afraid of a little cool weather.
Where one has space for corn, It
must be planted after all frost danger
is past. Corn is one of the most salts
factory of vegetables to raise. In
good soil, with plenty of moisture and
heat, with few hoeings, crop will
respond that will delight the heart.
There is nothing equal to the fresh
juicy golden bantam or the country
gentleman, and later the luscious
milky ears of the evergreen.
When the last frost is over plant
early beets, onion seed, carrots and
such tender vegetables as the bush
bean. Now the tomato plants may be
set out. the cabbage and eggplant as
well as pepper plant and cucumber
seed may be sown, also melon and
squash. Do not have these near
enough to mix the pollen, or the mel
ons will not be of good flavor.

Trees Commercial Value

The Spanish cedar is one of the
most highly esteemed lumber trees Of
the West Indies. Its most important
commercial use is for the manufac-
ture of cigar boxes. Planted as a
protection on the coffee trails it grows
rapidly but not so large as to COM
pletely shade out the coffee plants.
Many of the large coffee shading
trees of various species were blown
down by hurricanes of recent years.
Old cedro trees to feet in diameter
and so to 100 feet high were common
in Porto Rico before the virgin for
ests of the island were cut.

Survived Despite Lack of Hygienic knowledge

Considering how little primitive man
knew about hygiene, he managed to
keep living didn't he? 1t is this mon
umental fact that fortifies our belief in
an overseeing and omnipresent Provi-
dence. Something must have pre-
served man in the midst of his ignor-
ance and comparative helplessness.
He died of his diseases, but somehow
enough adults survived to carry on the
race and increase it.
One has only to read Doctor Glen
denning's eye-opening and mouth-open-
ing (for the doctor is humorist) ar
ticle in the Forum to learn that an
cient man, from the beginning, was
full Of physical faultiness. His dis
inferred bones show it; and many of
the Egyptian mummies bear the marks
of rheumatism. The ills Of bad teeth
resulted in the same maladies they do
now-and Doctor Clendenning OBJ
serves that at least one exalted
Egyptian suffered from blackheads.
Whether he employed sorcery or a
face cream cannot now be determined,
but either was futile.

Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAvTLLE

Just. like dresses, undies have
now gone sheer. Not that we
haven't had sheer lingerie for
many seasons, but this year it
Is a sensation, it is quite the
thing to do. And the new
Sheers are different, they are
crepey sheers. There's one
called "ninette" that is very
lovely, soft, supple and heavy
enough to hang in straight,
graceful folds. It is sort of a
cross between gorgette and
chiffon. It is found in gowns,
panties and chemiSeS, but not
usually in slips, as we want
something more if we are going
to wear a slip at all, and most
people find their clothes fit and
hang better with slip.
Sheer for Chic
OF course these new Sheers
fit as closely and cleverly as
any other fine lingerie. They
are cut so that not an extra
inch can gather under your
dress and make wrinkles or
Fuckers. They are either bias,
or extremely fitted, and seams
are smooth and flat. The best
pantieS or step-ins are cut to
fit at the top, with no gathers
or elastic at all, the chemisess
are bias, or cut to fit exactly,
and the gowns are more fitted,
and this year they are longer,
just like dresses. Peach and
tea rose are the favorite colors,
and fine hand-run Alencon, or
Alencon pattern laces are used
for trimming, used flat, with
not too much Of it.
Low DecOlIetage
Many versions Of the low
back make the gowns very diff
ferent, and again remind us Of
dresses. Some gowns are bias,
others are straight, and have
tiny tucking, like street clothes.
Some of them have a whole
top Of lace, others just a bit Of
trimming. The gown sketched
is somewhat like the evening
gowns with bandeau bodice.
The back is quite low, and
there's a soft girdle Of the
material to tie it in and make
it fit. These sheer materials
are lovely in white too, and
make beautiful bridal sets, trim
med with white lace.

Your Health

Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
The dean of a large medieaI
school reports that on the aver
age five students a year have to
drop out of classes on account
of tuberculosis.
The tuberculosis becomes evi-
dent during those years, but it
began long before. Probably all
tuberculosis begins before the
age of 10. These medical stu
dents, then, in whom the disease
is discovered between the ages
of 20 and 25, had been sick
some time. The disease could
have been detected much earlier.
When it was detected it re-
quired from two to as much as
10 years, in some cases, to cure.
If taken earlier, it would, in
most instances, have been con-
quered in a far shorter time
and at a far less disrupting
period in the individuals life.
These facts are most impor-
tant in emphasizing the neces-
Sity for routine examination Of
school children and children
from 13 to 20 for tuberculosis
of the lungS-that it is slow
and inSidious in onset, and that
it can be cured in proportion to
the earlineSS of its discovery.
tuberculosis of the lungs, &C.
cording to one of the greatest
American authorities, is one of
the most peculiar diseases we
know-the infection is acquired
in infancy or childhood, it oc.
ours in one form in early life
and gradually changes to an
entirely different form in adult
life. Only in adult life do we
get the typical form we usually
think of as tuberculosis of the
lungs.
Equally confusing for the
early recognition of the disease
is absence of pain or any con-
Spicuous or dramatic onset.
Pain is one of the greatest life
savers we have. 1t is a signal
something is the matter. The
patient pays attention and
seeks relief. Such a friendly
warning the tuberculosis pa
tient does not have. In the
two other common forms Of
tuberculosis in young life-bone
and gland tuberculosis-the
symptoms are, in most cases,
sufficiently prominent to call
for medical consultation. But
in tuberculosis of the lungs,
only when there is hemorrhage
from the lungs or severe
pleurisy is there any strikingly
dramatic early sign.
