But the old garden hose would have to be employed for hours to get the effect of a good rain. After the garden is planted certain reserva- tions should have been made for small home- made ditches. As nearly as possible these ditches should have a slight fall to the far end of the garden. They need not be more than four inches deep at the beginning and seven or eight inches deep at the end. Ditches should extend the full length ‘of the garden at from six to eight-foot intervals. Once each week this improvised irri- gation system should be filled to capacity. It’s not too late to start now and you will be so pleased that next year you'll establish a com- plete system in the back-yard farm. bs Irri- Quite properly, the Russians and Poles are wrangling over the disposition of Geheral Wran- gel. BIKING IN NIPPON When a Japanese in America wants to delight and startle his former cronies in a village some- where north of Kobe, he:-sends home a_-bicycle.

FOREIGN CHILDREN “Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord, thy God giyeth the boa} This was one,of the commandments given to the children of Israel on their way to the Prom- ised Land. It did not mean to be indulgent to the foibles of the old folks. The father and-mother Possessed the tribal lore of the wandering peo- ple, and the commandment meant to respect the . precepts and traditions of the past which they Possessed and passed on. The new generation was to carry the old ways into the new country if it hoped to maintain itself there and make good against the natives. The Hebrews went into the land as conquerors, like Americans in Texas or California; they were a “peculiar people,” not to be assimilated ; and they maintained their traditions by a policy of non- intercourse and extirpation. Among civilized peoples the days of extirpa- tion are over; foreigners do not come to America as conquerors, and the great majority of those who have streamed into the country. are willing to assimilate, and desire to become in every sense Americans. : Yet the race remembers its own honorable past and treasures its traditions. Every foreign child carries to America notions of propriety and right and wrong learned from his parents; and is a blow to self-respect and a shock to conscience when his people and all they stood for are de- spised by his new companions and he must apolo- gize for what seemed sacred or defend what ought never to have been questioned. True Americanization builds upon the foun- dations already laid.

One day a stranger asked him the meaning of the words, Christo et Ecclesiae (for Christ and the Church) on the Harvard shield. He said, “I don’t exactly know, sir, but I think it means Down with Yale.” Men are like wolves; they hunt and fight in packs, and it is often hard for them to under- stand a loyalty that does not mean hostility to some other group. ‘ This is explained by the agelong struggle be- tween tribes for food. and mastery—a struggle that went hard with the group that was not al- ways ready for a fight, while the warrior tribes survived and left warlike children. What is to be done with the fighting spirit in a world that feels or at least professes to be- lieve in the brotherhood of all mankind? To repress it is like sitting on a safety valve. It invites explosions. The best hope seems to be to guide it into such friendly rivalries as John’s words indicate, with the rivals finally becoming partners in a splendid fight of the whole human brotherhood against nature to learn her secrets and conquer her in perilous explorations and feats of engineer- ing, or in fishing, mining and transportation, with the partners racing to outstrip others in service to all mankind. : Primitive man could prove his loyalty and capacity and courage by killing. someone outside of the tribe. But there are better ways of doing it. iy Everyone seems to be willing to forgive Fran- cisco Villa, including Washington. NIGHT LIGHTS Ever walk through the baby ward in a hospi- tal at midnight? Rows of little, softly breathing bundles, and at almost every step you take, some- where in the ward a plaintive cry. At the door the night nurse is sitting, and by her side stares the night light, benevolently watching all the ba- bies. How many beginnings of great men has that unwinking night light seen? How many crimi- nals, how many teachers, preachers, crooks and business men? The night light and the nurse shame.

The order is said to have been is- sued by the governor of the island, an officer of the United States navy. / “The practice. of whistling,” the governor is quoted as saying, “is an entirely unnnecessary and irritating noise which must be discontinued.” The “little brief authority” vested in the gov- ernor of Guam seems to have gone to his -head. But quite aside from the petty tyranny of the order, the governor is wrong, absolutely wrong. Whistlers in Guam, possibly, like whistlers ev- erywhere, get off the key occasionally; but off the key or not, the whistling man, take him by and large, is a contented man, rejoicing in his task and bent on giving an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. Some of his attempts at music may be irritating to tired nerves; but it is much better that the person with nerves be given a long rest than that the whistler be suppressed. Whistling is an outward manifestation of an inward condition or frame of mind. The whistler ig apt to be an optimist. He will not be found agitating strikes or preaching revolution. He believes the world is growing better, and nine times out of ten, he is helping in a practical way to make it better. The world needs more whistling men, and it never needed them more than it does right now. St. Paul. Pioneer. Press. auto in Rock,Creek Park or on the] 4 Virginia’ highway leading to Mount Vernon.

ETC Protein is known as'the* builder or repair material in our diet, and it is found in large proportion in such 4 fcods as meat, fish fowl and eggs. Protein may gain access to, the body in other ways than by food; for example as in the case of hay -fever and some forms of asthma, through the skin, as is ob- served, for example, in certain forms of éczema, and by bacterial infec- tion, as’ seems to be the case in a number of obscure disorders, The unfavorable reaciion may take the form of hay fever, asthma, ecze- nia, urticaria (hives), and other skin affections, acute and chronic diges- tive disturbances, and. perhaps 1: certain forms of periodic headache: various vague nervous disturbances, other known cause. Proteins are usually broken up by processes of digestion and. their con- stituent parts absorbed by the body. Particular parts or tissues of the body are usually predominantly sen- sitive to a given protein in a given jindividual. ‘For, example; one person. ray develop asthma. from wheat, While. another, individual may have were EVERETT TRU: You SHAVED ME A lcast Time. \ and.in albuminuria not due to some!and mucus patches in the mouth, or And the moral is.—one shouldn't attempt to drive another fellow’s car. eczema from the same cause. well-known fact that certain ‘individ- uals have an attack of urticaria (hives), from eating strawberries or lobster, is an example of protein sen- sitization. The liability of becoming sensitive to proteins is to a large extent a hereditary trait. Not all individuals are subject to this possibility. It is most: often manifested in childhood or in early adult life by some one or more of. the previously mentioned ab- normal conditions, but may be found at any age: . The tests for protein sensitization are made by slight scratches on the surface of the’ skin and rubbing in the test. material. These tests, to be conclusive, should cover a large num- ber-of food substances and require at least one sitting of one hour, some times several sittings, as only twen- ty to thirty substances can. be test- ed at one sitting. -l'rom what has-been said, it must not be concluded that protein senst- tization accounts for all cases of as- thma, hay fever and hives. Some of these are undoubtedly due to quite other factors. A person suffering from these disorders should accord- ingly. consult a. first-class. physician and submit to a thorough examina- tion, including probably a series of skin tests to. discover protein hyper sensitiveness, 1 Q.

It was a notable event In the his- tory of the wild life of our country when the first big'game hunter hung up his rifle and took to the woods with a camera, Ever since the first. photograrher went afield with a sportsman, the eam- era min has been the best exponent and advertiser of the prowess of. the man with a gun.

Huffman of Miles City, Mont. Mr. Huffman was a true sportsman, a fine shot, and as a photographer of hunting scenes he long stood ‘without a rival. Never will I forget the. thrills that T received in his little, old log cabin studio In “Milestown,”' when he showed me his stereoscope views of “elk and dead ! grizzles, glory enough for one day"; a ‘mountain sheep ram on the brink of a precipice, many buffalo-killing pictures, and antelope and deer ga- lore.

It fs related that a party of sailors, wandering -inland, sat down to rest under a tree. A gust of wind shook to earth several dead and brown leaves. These, after remaining prone on the ground for a few minutes, pro- ceeded to show signs of life and crawl toward “he trunk, which they ascend- ed, aud attached themselves to their respective twigs. ‘Hence, the snitor-men, who promptly, ‘away, said. the spot was bewitched, she simple. fact turned out to be that the so-called‘ leaves were really leaf-shaped insects, having long. pen- duious legs, which’ could be folded out of sight, and possessing the chame-| leon-like power }of varying their color} tovconrespond with that of the follage| they were clinging to.

Evening Post. American Women Have Prettiest Feet. A well-known French shoe manufac- turer states that the shoe is the foundation of a woman's wardrobe. If she is not well shod, it spoils her ap- pearance. He says that American women have the prettiest feet in the world, and appreciate the value of the low-heeled shoe. For walking, this manufactur- er insists the low-heeled shoe is the only one permissible. For wear around the house, he advocates san- dals that hold the feet in shape, yet yield sufficiently to allow them to rest, In the famous Tolima tobacco re- gion of the Andes, everybédy gives distances by means of “tobacco,” or so many smokes of cigars.
