Thats vastly better than having a regular formula for identification which the enemy might pick up on you. Fine enough, but lets hear you identify yourself, Fincke." Once I knew a man named Palacio Quatrea who owned a fine pair of silver sabers," the Austrian conp fided. Benning quickly searched through Finckea remark and decided that the key winds, by which Van Hassek agents identified themselves to one another must be palacio and silver sabers.

REGARDING HERBS TVANY home gardeners may be interested in growing herbs this year because of this war, and because they make everyday dishes more Appetizing and flavor-fu- l. Herbs may be grown in a plot about four by six feet to supply the average needs of a family. They should have full sunlight and be planted in good loamy soiL Almost all popular herbs balm, basil, borage, fennel, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, sage, anise, dill, and caraway may either be used when young, and fresh, or prepared for use dried. Anise, basil, borage, dill and savory are annuals; caraway, and fennel are biennials, and balm, marjoram, sage, rosemary, thyme and chives are perennials, although balm and marjoram are beat treated as annuals. All the herbs mentioned here win probably produce enough growth for use the first year, however, if seeds are planted early, and climate ia normally temperate. .
