"What You About Your Auto; How To Drive and Keep It Smoothly and the Best Way to Remedy Machine Trouble—Traffic Suggestions and Pleasure Routes for Evening World Readers. By GEORGE H. ROBERTSON. } . HROUGH the kindness of bun- dreds of automobile owners who have generously contrit+ uted sums of money and the use of their machines, about 4,000 orphans will be given an outing nett Thurs day, an auto ride through the country that will wind up at College Point, L. 1, where the kiddies will have a grand lown party. For some time hearted motorists have donated cars for an entire day that the poor city orphans might recetve a lit- tle recreation and cheer from their daily lot, which at best isn’t any too RQBERTSON bright. This year more financial aid care were contributed than ever before, which will give about 4,000 youngsters the time of their lives next Thursday.

Don't wait to use these things until! they have all attained the size of those you usually see in the marketa. The market grower has to let them Teach a certain size to make a profit, and the fewer “pickings” he has to make the better, because the less it costs him to harvest his crop from a given area, In the home garden, on the other hand, the more “pickings” one can get and the longer the crop can be extended tn thne of yield the botter. Go over your rows and pick out the biggest onions, radishes, tur- nips, &c., just as @oon as they are big enough to eat, Thin out the beets to stand three {nches or 0 apart, and use the “thinnings,” tops, roots and all, for greens; they are far ahead of spinach in most people's es- timation. Take out the largest heads of lettuce, especially where they are crowding each other, before they are full grown, leaving room for the oth- ors to develop; if left too crowded none of them will amount to any- thing. KEEP EVERY SQUARE FOOT OF GROUND BUSY! Whether you planted your garden according to one of the plans given in the earlier articles in this series or not, keep every square foot of your garden busy all through the season. Take for instance the crops mentioned above, that are beginning to mature now, or will be in the near future, BETWEEN THE ROWS of those things you can plant succession crops of beans, beets, carrots, radish, let- tuce or turnips.
