Show Protect Plants From Attacks of Disease WORLD WAR Born Frank E. Improved Cultural Methods Will Give Resistance. Hagan It may be casually observed that gardens require less spraying than others and appear to be lu healthier condition. It is generally true that such gardens have been d In a vigorous and condition through proper cultural methods. This is rewarded by a decrease In the spray requirements. The question of vigor starts back at the beginning of the plant Highly vital and strong seeds should always be used In preference to weak seeds. Only strong Hants should be selected for transplanting, as other plants may be Injured before they can be made strong and vigorous through proper cultural methods. Maintaining the proper moisture conditions and providing the plants with an abundance of complete plant food are ImiKirtant in securing this resistance to disease. Vigorous plants which are producing carbohydrates and new tissue, and In which all of the processes are taking place normally, are less subject to attacks by diseases than those in an unthrifty condition. If plants are building new tissue and possess high vitality, they will also be able to repair the damage done by diseases which may attack them, and therefore, they will be less severely Injured. some on the Battlefield On the morning of ,1nlj 10, '."IS, as tbe One hundred fourth infantry was advancing into Chateau Thierry during the Battle of Belleau Wood, a main-taine- disease-re-sistn- ut plaintive whine was heard by members of Company L. The soldiers traced the noise to a large shell hole snd there lay a dog and five small puppies. The mother dog and four of the youngsters bad fallen a victim to shrapnel, but the puppy whose whines had drawn his rescuers to the place was unharmed. On the mother's neck was a brass collar, hearing the Inscription "Capt. Carl Von Uetr.enber-ger- , imperial German army " He had evidently abandoned the dog In the haste of evacuation and she with the pups to which she had given birth in the midst of the fighting was unable to follow. "Hello, Sausage !" said Private Paul Coy of GreenfleJd, Mass., as he pick, the whimpering puppy up and dropped him into his overcoat pocket And "Sausage" he was to the members of the One hundred fourth from that time on.

Friendship Marred by Distance in New York h Tou may scrape up an acquaintance with showgirls, professors of applied therapeutics, novelists, pugilists, Hindu swamis, tabloid reporters, toe dancers and captains of South American banana boats. You may even become warm friends of a bibliomaniac or a Hoboken bartender. But what good will they do you? If you live In the Bronx, your best friends Invariably live In Flatbush, and If you live on City island, the boon companions you are Just dying to see always reside In Jamaica or Jersey City. So that If you are projecting an hour's friendly call, you have to travel on the subways two hours; you are mauled by the theater and manhandled by the crowd, downtown warehouse watchmen going uptown to sleep and the uptown swells going downtown to play. And when you arrive at your friend's house at 10:00 p. in., limp and shopworn, you find, of course, that he has quit waiting for you and has gone to a Rumanian fish house three blocks from your home which you left two hours ago. Friendship in New York becomes too often a terrific chore. It Is far easier to be content with the casual folk you rub against where your business or your thirst takes you. As a rule, therefore, the "people to your taste" are not to your taste In any deeper, spiritual sense, but they simply frequent the same resort or restaurant you do and are tolerable only because they can speak your Jargon of art or business and do not attempt to assault you with beer mugs.

Polish Leader Hailed as Savior of Europe Lord d'Abernon's as tribute the real savior of Japan Has Earned Name, "Cherry Blossom Land" Many tourists visited Japan during April, especially in order to see the cherry blossoms. Japan's cherry-blossoseason Is like that of no other land. It lasts for only a few weeks in April, but during that short period the whole country seems a delightful garden. Japan, indeed, has been given the name of "Cherry Blossom Iand." Japanese are trying to cultivate a type of cherry tree which will blossom three times a year instead of only once. In this way it Is hoped that Japan may be made even more popular as a holiday resort. They are passionate lovers of natural beauty, and the cherry trees seen in every garden are grown for flowers and not for fruit. the fanatical Welssenberg sect at "I Spandau, near Berlin, Germany. am Isaac, and my father, Abraham, sacrificed me to the Lord 7,000 years ago," declared Schaetzke to the police.
