had been requisitioned by the gov ernment. The French officials desig- mated stations to which they were told to take their vehicles. At this point they were signed for by an army officer and then turned over to the troops.
 Ship Technically Held
 At Ottawa it is reported that Canadian officials have seized a German ship which apparently be- came confused at the mouth of the St. Laurence River and started to turn back. The boat had been un- loading cargo for Canadian mer- chant. They received their orders to return to German port. In their haste to leave they forget to unload portion of the cargo which already had been paid for. Hence the ar rest on technical criminal charges.
 Speech Cancelled
 The fact that Chancellor Hitler cancelled his Tannenburg speech for Sunday is believed by some diplo- mats to indicate that he did not want to issue the ultimatum that he was expected to give out on that occasion.
 German preparations for war con- tinued as more and more school houses near the border were emptied of their school desks and hospital cots were moved in preparation for whatever might happen. One move which attracted attention in the neighborhood took place in little town just few miles back of the border where fire trucks were moved out of a fire station and into the street so that the fire station could be made into a food depot
 London Lights Out
 In London people went about their business in much the usual way Oftentimes people would stop and gaze with mild, curiosity at men who were busily painting curbstones white so that they could be more easily distinguished in the darkness of the night that.is no longer pene- trated by cheering lights. The few i street lights that are still in opera tion are shielded so that their rays cannot be spotted from above. School officials in England have been drilling the children verbally in processes of evacuation and emer- gency rations have been issued to the various schools to facilitate the caring for the children if and when. Extra Precautions All the windows from the several cathedrals which are reputed to be of ,inestimable value have been re- moved and buried in secret hiding places. All the art galleries and most of the finer public buildings have been closed and their belong ings removed for safeguarding. As these steps continued Prime Min ister Chamberlain and his aides held last minute conferences as to what they could do if Chancellor Hitler was opposed to a conference. Speculation was high as to whether he would reiterate his demands or take some other course.
 The Japanese Ambassador to Ber- lin left last night after presenting his protest against Germany sign- ing the nonaggression pact with Russia. His protest was presented just as ordered by the Japanese Government.

More Garden for Less Money
does not mean a series OF garden
articles with cheap advice. Cheap
gardening is the most expensive
way in the long run.
But there are ways To get re-
suits in garden without spending
a lot OF money. This series of
garden articles will give sound
advice and suggestions OF how 10
produce a lawn and how TO raise
flowers from seeds. how TO have a
permanent garden and how to
care for it with the least outlay
of cash.
Anyone who has the money can
hire labor and buy material to pro-
duce a finished garden. II takes
intelligence and maybe some ell
bow grease to obtain the same re-
suits without spending a lot of
money. Let your gardening be a
sport. Exercise your muscles and
use your head.
If you are about TO build a new
home ask some questions about
the land before you buy it. Look
for growing soil on the top of the
ground. If there is a good growth
of weeds or grass the chances are
there are three or four inches OF
good top soil II the lot measures
so feet by 100 feet and has three
inches Of top soil there is total
of over SIS cubic yards of top soil

surface of the lot In scraped into
piles, one in front and one In the
rear. After building the house.
garage and driveway. there will
be enough good soil left to grow a
good lawn and raise shrubs. vege-
tables and flowers.
Another item TO consider when
buying lot is to know whether
or not the foundation will have TO
be dug out of rock. II costs three
and sometimes four times as much
TO dig hole where there is solid
rock as against sand or clay. BY
investigating before buying hun

in building activity were II. Is.

years and averaged years
BASED on the previous numbers

peak would be expected in about

Based on the time from the
lows 10 the peaks, the next peak
would be expected TO come about

able that building will be increas-
ingly active until about 194l 10

bility that the peak will come

dates. or about 1913"
