Gardening In
The Modern Era

Whatever the future may bring in
the way of social changes, whether
the dream of 'technocracy" come
true or prove to be visionary, it
seems to be generally agreed that
leisure will be increased.
How will the leisure be spent? Mil
lions of Americans have already an
swered the question by finding es-
thetic, intellectual and physical salts
faction in recreational gardening.
The American gardening move
ment began long before the World
war, though it received enormous ac-
celeration in war times. During the
initiation era the throngs that moved
to the larger cities were met by 9TH
er throngs, leaving the congested
cities for garden suburbs. From 1920
to 1890 the population gains of all
our large cities was wholly confined
to their outlying suburban sections.
These facts have enormous sig
nificance for those who would pro-
phesy the future. The definite re-
lection of residence in congested city
districts, which the well-to-do regis
tered during prosperity, has increased
in the depression into complete re
verse movement back to the land.
Whether our cities ever grow larg-
er, whether decentralization Of popu-
lation and industries will mark the
next step in growth, or otherwise,
there seems no basis for doubt about
the great expansion of garden COM
munities and suburbs.
Gardening is no mere recreation; il
partakes of philosophy, it ranks as
a fine art; it provides material for
whatever sort of intellectual exercise
one may be inclined to take, as well
as physical exertion of the most
wholesome sort.
Home and garden are in partner
ship, for the garden is part of the
very fabric of the home. 1t provides
for the children a background of
beauty, a playground safeguarded
and healthful, and its products are
growth-giving foods of supreme inn
portance.
Gardening, in short, is mode of
life ideally suited to a nation of pros
porous home owners, with ample
leisure It's devotees employ ther
leisure hours in manner which i'm
proves themselves and their commun
tiles, increases the value of their
holdings and which in time, as leisure
increases, will transform the ugliness
of our industrial scene into an or
dered beauty unsurpassed anywhere
in the world

GIRL SCOUTS ADD III
IN MEMBERS IN 1882

A gain of 1905 members, repre-
senting a net increase in membership
of IL per cent is reported for 1882
by the Girl Scouts, Inc, in state
ment just issued by national head
quarters, $40 Lexington Avenue, New
York. This brings the total number
of girls and leaders as of December
81, 1882, to 295,940.
Maintaining a precedent in the
matter Of pet occupations, the Girl
Scouts of 1882 once again showed a
preference for the practice of health
pursuits. During the year nearly
fourteen thousand girls qualified for
"healthwinner" badge, which requires
that they undergo an examination
lasting three months to prove their
knowledge and practice of personal
hygiene as outlined in the Girl Scout
code. This entails good posture,
neatness, regular sleep, adequate ex-
ercise, familiarity with modern meth
DDS of ventilation and lighting, and
above all habitual use of fresh air
and sun.
The Girl Scout badge signifying
that the winner is good house
keeper ranked fourth in honor in
1882, with only 1876 girls qualify
ing. This showed, however, an in
crease of 1922 over the figure for
1881.
Second in the affections of the
1882 Girl Scouts came first aid,
knowledge of which the girls ac-
quire according to the rules of the
American Red Cross. Scholarship
came third, proving that at least H.
S94 Girl Scouts during 1882 attended
classes regularly, conducted them
selves well, had good class standing
and showed sustained effort and
progress in their work. Laundress,
once a leader among badges. ranked
seventh last year, with l0,s59 quail
flying; cook led it by a small margin,

The Rabbit

If you've wondered why the rab-
bits nose always twitches when he
eats, M. A. Nathan, writing in Child
Life Magazine, can help you. He
says:
There once was rabbit
Developed the habit
OF twitching the end of his nose
His sisters and brothers
And various others
Said: Notice the way that it
goes?
And one clever bunny
Thought That's very funny"
III practice it down in the dell;
The rest said, IF he can
Pm positive we can"
And did it remarkably well.
And now the world over
Where rabbits eat clover
And burrow and scratch with their
toes
There isn't a rabbit
Who hasn't the habit
OF twitching the end of his nose.

Vitamin-D Milk

1t is now possible to produce or
treat milk so that, when taken in the
quantity usually recommended for
children. ricketts, can be presented or
cured. Rickets is caused by lack of
vitamin d. Ordinarily milk contains
only small amount of this factor.
However, the amount of yitamin ID IN
milk can be increased to the point
where from one pint to one quart will
be as effective in the cure of ricketts,
as the usual doses of concentrated an
tirachitic agents, such as cod-liver oil
and voisterol.
The vitamin-D content of milk can
be increased in several ways. At the
Ohio Experiment Station it has been
found by w. f. Krauss and r. M.
Bethke, nutrition specialists, that this
can be done by feeding cows irradi-
ated ergosterol (voisteroll, codliver
oil concentrate, or irradiated yeast. Of
the three methods tried, that using ir-
radiated yeast has proved to be most
effective and least costly. Many dair-
les are now producing vitamin-D milk
by this method.
1t is also possible to add directly to
milk vitamin-D concentrate prepared
from cod-liver oil. This method is al
so being used commercially at the
present time.
When milk is treated with ultra-vio-
let ray, it becomes good antirachitic
agent. This method of producing milk

AT THE MOVIES
Jennie Gerhardt Is
Superb WOman's Film

Sensitive, appealing Jennie Ger
hardt," that absorbing character Gre
ated by Theodore Dresser, Americas
foremost novelist, comes to life to-
day on the screen of the Paramount
theatre, where Paramount's picture
OF that title will be presented today
and Tuesday. Sylvia Sidney, the girl
OF the wistful eyes, earns her first
star billing in the title role Of this
H. p. Schulberg production, which
Marion Gering directed.
In this picture, she earns her right
to be star. Her characterization of
the immortal Jennie Gerhardt con-
tains the essence Of Dreiser's concep-
ton Of this tremendous role. Ten
derby, sympathetically, she traces the
life Of the most talked OF woman in
American fiction.
Jennie Gerhardt epitomizes all wo-
manhood; that was unquestionably
Theodore Dreiser's conception of the
character. Miss Sidney's impersona-
ton has like Interpretation as its
motivation. A beautiful, sensitive
girl, reared in the most abject pow
erty, Is forced by the misery Of her
family to accept the advances OF
those who can help financially. Time
efter time, despite her own inclina-
tons, the irresistible forces of life
itself break down her morale, drive
her on through desperation to an
unacceptable end.

Sailors Life for Slim
Dogs Life for Zasu

Slim summerville and Zasu Pitts
are back in town.
This delightful comedy pair opened
an engagement Saturday at the Cap
itol Theatre In Her First Mate
their latest co-starring vehicle, and
to say that they have outdone their
previous efforts Is to put it mildly
The picture is a positive riot of mer-
riment.
Summerville and Miss Pitts are
presented as a married couple living
IN 'hick' town on the shore of Long
Island Sound, with the husband
dreaming of a career as captain OF
an ocean-going freighter-and work
ing In q mental position on an Al
bany River night boat. The fun be-
gins In real earnest when his wife,
IN an attempt to satisfy his longing
secretly spends their entire Joint
savings to buy for him the little ferry
boat which operates out of their town
Notwithstanding the fact that the
ambitious Slim regards the ram
shackle tub with lofty contempt.
Never before have Summerville
and Miss Pitts been so aptly cast as
IN "Her First Mate" and never be-
fore have they appeared together In
a picture so plentifully supplied with
funny situations and dialogue. The
same degree of excellence is notice
able IN the cast which has made the
most OF every situation.

Legumes Used AS Cover
Crops Are Soil Builder

When legumes are used as green
manure or as cover crops to be re-
turned to the soil, it can be said that
they are actually soil builders, says DR..
S. G. Vandecaveye, professor OF SOILS,
State College of Washington. This is
especially true of the deep-rooted crops,
notably alfalfa and sweet clover, which
go deep into the subsoil to gather sup
plies of lime, PHOSPHORUS and potash.
These mineral elements are thus
brought to the surface in organic COM
bination by means of root and top
growth. Upon decomposition, the roots
and top growth that is returned to
the soil stimulates biological activities
and has beneficial effects upon the
physical properties of the soil Con-
trary to popular belief, however, le-
gumes cannot add mineral plant food
to the soil They merely transport it
from the lower depths to the surface
where it is available for the crops that
follow.
Legumes gather nitrogen from the
air by means of certain types OF pac-
terra which cling to the roots of legume
plants. Without the aid OF these tiny
bacteria, legumes are forced to take
their nitrogen from the soil just as
cereals and other crops do, explains
DR.. Vandecaveye. Legumes need these
bacteria, which can be supplied easily
by innoculating the seed with Gull
