Autumn Is not far OF. In case you
don't know.
The wild onions are beginning to
come up in the grass, that Is the way
to tell.
It won't be long now until the most
careless observer knows.
In the meantime, there is still brave
show of flowers. with the leaves Of
shrubs and trees almost as good as
ever.
But the big storm of recent memory

Sturdy old althea bushes send forth

the year a great many persons prefer.
To him or her interested in gardening
the second great cleanup period Is
ushered in with the falling leaves Of

Before that, however, lies the time of

Few persons will need to make en-

old sod.
Renewal is needed. to the extent Of
putting In fresh seed to help out the
old grass.
A mixture Of two parts Kentucky
blue grass. and one part red top Is said
to be good to use this way.
The blue grass seed alone is good.
It may not grow quite as well as some
might like, but in the main it stays,
and that is something.
The best way to sow at this time Is
to cut the grass as short as possible,
rake off the clippings, and even dig
into the 1cd- somewhat with an old
steel rake. This process should be
vigorous. but not enough so to damage
the old roots.
Then grass seed should be sown much
taken afterward to go over the entire
tract with the back of the rake. in
order to knock down such seed as
might have clung to the grass.
A little fertilizer may be added,
something mild such as bone meal, and
the whole watered down lightly. II
the seeding can be done before rain,
so much the better.

Too much care cannot be put on the
lawn.
Some persons have the idea that grass
ought to take care Of itself, but the
truth is that even the best lawns do
better with care.
And there are many poor lawns. OF

halfway lawns. lawns that could be
worse and yet might be great deal

Q. Please give a few facts about
Clement c. Moore, author Of "A Visit
from st. Nicholas. ."-E E.
A. Clement c. Moore was born in
Newtown, adjacent to the Brooklyn of
the time, in l77s. His father was a
bishop of the Episcopal Church. He
was a great scholar and was professor
Of Hebrew and Greek in the General
Theological Seminary not far from his
house on West Twenty-third street be-
tween Ninth and Tenth avenues. He
inherited considerable wealth and owned
the land on which was afterward built
London Terrace, an aggregation OF SIM
liar houses which occupied the entire
block Only recently have these houses
been wrecked to give way to an apart
ment development. DR.. Moore IS buried
in Trinity Cemetery. West One Hun
dred and Fifty-fifth street, and his
grave is decorated by Sunday school
children every Christmas eve.
@. Is Col Michael Friedsam, who was
president of B. Amman g. Co., living?-
M S. K
A. He died Apri' 6, 1881.
@. When there is a cinder or other
foreign particle in the eye, does it help
to rub the other eye?-M. c.
A. It is of little benefit. The friction
may cause both eyes to water, and this
may help to disIodge the intruder. Pull
ing the upper lid down over the under
lid of the affected eye is often bene-
ficial.
@. A local organization Of tradesmen
has agreed on minimum prices and says
that If do not increase my prices,
whether I need to or not, will be run
out of town. Is this in accordance with
the N. R. A. policy?-M. N.
A. 1t is directly contrary to the pol
icy. No local organization can estab-
lish a rule which supersedes the ma
tional codes. The policy of the N. r. A.
is that if 1t is necessary for trades
man to increase prices in order to pay
higher wages, shorten hours and spread
employment, he may do SO, but if he
joins an agreement to raise prices for
profteering he is liable to prosecution.
@. Who said Though all the world
exclaim against me I will say what I
think?"-V. B.
A. Cicero.
@. Why do the union labor leaders
get so excited over this collective BAR
gaining principle, whatever it S?-
NJ. H. c.
A. A prime purpose of trades union
ism is solidarity. and collective bar
gaining is an essential phase of that.
inasmuch as it means that the work
ers may negotiate as a whole, or as a
group. with employers in all matters
having to do with wages. hours and
other conditions Of employment. Union
leaders fight for this because they re-
gard it as a basic labor right and be-
cause without it the unions can not
function efficiently and render maxi
mum service to their members.

Dangerous Trucks.
From the Bismarck IN. Dak.) Tribune.

The accident in Indiana in which q
numbering auto truck sideswiped an
irrSrovised bus, caused the death OF a
number of people and then sped off
without stopping will hardly strengthen
the hands of the truckmen in their
perennial dispute with the railroads for
freight business.
It emphasizes, that is to say, the
way in which a heavy truck can be q
menace on the roads. Because Of the
width of its body, and because of the
momentum which its bulk gives 1t, the
truck can create serious traffic hazards
on a main highway; and the fact that
this particular truck driver chose to
run away after the accident simply
calls attention to the looseness of the
control which the public exercises over
the trucking business.
Meditation on these points is likely
TO create a public sentiment favorable
to the railroads in this argument about
who should get the short-haul freight
business.
