A CHURCH on wheels, the
portable field chapel, is the most
important display in the Chap
lains Exhibit which is part of
the Army War Show Battle De-
pot open every day from 2 to 10
p. m. at the University of De-
troit Stadium.
Consisting OF a truck and
trailer arrangement with large
crosses painted on the sides and
back door, the travelling church
is a reinsurance to parents who
have been wondering how the
army takes care of the religious
side of the soldiers living. The
army appreciates the moral
needs of its men and provides
for them wherever the troops
may be sent. AS the army trav-
els so does the field chapel and
chaplain.

Oak Leaves
Add Acid
To Soil
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Garden Editor, Detroit Times

IF YOU have soil that is not
acid and yet have a longing TO
grow acid-loving plants such as
the broad-leaved evergreens, this
interview with a specialist in
these plants will give you a lift
because it advocates a method
OF acidifying soil which requires
much less expense and labor
than the usual way.
Proper growth conditions for
the plants that love acid soil,
depend, says he, not so much on
the reaction of the soil, but
rather on the bacteria which are
working on the soil and chang
ing its chemicals to forms that
plants can use.
Acid bacteria work differently
from alkaline ones and if the
plants have the acid bacteria,
near their roots, they can obtain
from neutral soils all their nee
essary nouriShment.
From Oak Leaves
From oak woods, after scrap
ing away the top layer of leaves
until all leaves still recognizable
have been removed, a layer Of
fibrous mating can be lifted
which when placed to a depth
of two or three inches over
ordinary good garden soil, will
furnish the necessary acid-soil
bacteria.
Two other necessities for
growing these plants are a good
nearby water supply and shade.
These go hand in hand because
water will evaporate less rapidly
in shade than in sun. Most of
the broad-leaved evergreens do
best in shade and few will not
tolerate strong sun.
We spoke particularly of aza-
leas and the advice given was
not to protect them from wind
as they were either hardy or
they were not, but to make sure
the shrubs had plenty of air as
they are very fussy in this re-
gard. Any overhanging trees
should be cut up 20 or IS feet
TO give plenty of air circulation
around the leaves which are the
parts of the plant that take in
most air.
Three Species
In aZaleas, the three species
which are hardest and at the
same time least particular as to
soil reaction are aZalea mollis
which comes in a color range
from yellow, through apricot to
orange; azalea japonica which is
a stronger, deeper color, and
azalea roSeum which is the color
its name indicates.
We may also be able to grow
azalea latifolia alba which, of
course, is white lowered and
certainly with as wide a possible
color scheme as these species
allow no one, even in Michigan,
would fail TO find azaleas a
valuable addition TO the garden.

Let the mother of as or so

Mrs. Allen tells us that the
pie crust made in the army is
frequently made with milk and
is delicious. Recently when she
visited at Fort Sheridan she met
a young private who had made
a lemon pie for the first time
that day and the pie crust
was better than that of any
brides she's ever tasted. Here
is the recipe.

CHAPTER TWENTY -ElGHl
MOLLA lay on her back on the
broad white beach and looked up
at the fieccy white clouds which
dritted by overhead. She held up
an arm for all to see, Look, I'm

Ted Holland grabbed the arm

He yanked ner to her feet and
dragged her off toward the waters

Molla struggled with her bath
ing cap as she ran. Tay chased
after them, and all three plunged
into the surf together.
Molla broke into a long, strong
stroke. Tay and Teddy tried to
catch her but gave up after 70
yards.
"Okay. We quit. Come on back"
Tay called, and Molla splashed
back to them. Fine men, she
tainted. Cant even catch a little
