TAUGHT VIRTUE ANO WISDOM Confucius One of the Really Qrm| Philosophers the Human Race Has Developed. sp' **7%G, ROWING EARLY PLANTS IN BACKYARD HOTBED i* " Proper selection of seeds with which 'fO plant a garden is stressed by the united States Department of Agriculture. It should be the aim of every lM>me gardener this year to grow a l>etter garden by making the most intelligent use of the available space, opt only by employing better methods, tmt by planting seeds of the highest quality. The first cost of seeds is Comparatively small, but It is very important that the seeds planted should fc the very best obtainable. Gardeners are advised to secure the catalogues of reliable seed firms and qpend a little time In going over and Checking up the seeds that will be tiifeeded for planting. Do not be misled by the highly Colored and much-advertised novelties, but stick to the standard, well-known and proved varieties, advise the specialists. Good seeds should never be Wasted, so figure carefully upon the imount required and place your JWder early before the best stocks dfc&^exifcausted. Perhaps the seeds can be bought from local dealers. If not, orders should go to a seed house in some neighboring city, so the seeds may be received in ample time. When they •re received, unpack and check them -t© see that no part of the order has been overlooked; then store the seeds Ib a mouseproof, ventilated container, auch as a perforated tin box. They Should be kept in a moderate tempera- Hire, and where they will not freeze Or be exposed to moisture. Have Early Vegetable*. Half the pleasure and profit 'of £ garden is derived from having something to use Just as early in the spring as possible. In many cities and towns t tiie local greenhouse men grow thousands of plants which are sold to Some gardeners at reasonable prices. It often happens, however, that home gardeners do not have the opportunity to purchase well-grown plants, and must start their own supply of early plants in the house or in a hotbed if they desire to have their crops mature early. Among the garden crops that may be started to advantage in this gbanner are tomatoes, early cabbage, peppers, eggplant and lettuce; even Cucumbers, melons, beets, snap beans, lima beans and sweet corn may be Mtarted indoors by using flower pots, paper bands, or berry boxes to hold the soiL ' / Where the required number^f/plants |B too great for growing in window %oxes, a hotbed or coldframe may be provided. The usual method of con- " ftructlng a hotbed is first to dig a shallow pit 8 to 18 inches deep, according to locality, and pack it full of fermenting stable manure. The manure, before being placed In the pit, should be turned over once or twice in a pile in order to insure even heating. It may then be packed into the hotbed pit and tramped uniformly. Standard hotbed sashes are 3 feet wide and 6 feet long, and the size of the bed should be made to suit the number of sashes employed. A framework of boards 18 to 24 inches high at the back and about 12 inches high in front is placed oyer the manure* filled pit to support the sash. Use for Thermometer. About 3 or 4 inches of fine garden loam is spread evenly over the manure and the bed allowed to stand four or five days to warm up before any seed is sown. At first the temperature of the bed may run rather high, and It is best to delay planting the seeds in it until it begins to decline. This can best be determined by planting a thermometer with the bulb about three inches below the surface of the soil. The temperature should fall below 85 degrees before seeds are planted. If glass-filled sashes are not available for covering the hotbed, heavy muslin may be used Instead; the glass, however, makes the most desirable form of covering. Care must be taken to give the bed sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating, as it is liable to heat up very rapidly when the fun shines full upon the glass. Watering should be done during the early part of the day and the bed given enough air so that the plants will dry off before night. The bed should be closed before evening, in order to conserve enough heat to carry it through the night in good condition. If the weather should turn severely cold, a covering of straw, blankets or eanvas may be thrown over the bed to protect It. Coldframe Construction. A coldframe is constructed in exactly the same manner as a hotbed, with the exception that no manure; is placed beneath it to supply heat. Before the plants are set in the garden, either from the hotbed or the coldframe, they should be gradually hardened to outside conditions by giving them more ventilation each day. Finally, remove the sashes entirely on bright days and replace them during the nights. The aim should be to produce strong, healthy plants that will make a quick start when placed In the garden. TO HAVE AN INDOOR GARDEN II a ice Your Basement Work for. .you by Producing Vegetable* Beftgrf* 4 Outdoor Planting Tim*. ' Nearly every cottage, as well as the larger houses and the city bungalows, ire equipped with large basements. Slany of these basements have space lhat is not utilized and many of them bave excellent southern and eastern " . exposures whereby the sun has a ifhance to play through the windows a large portion of the day. V Make the basement work for you. It |b an easy matter to have a miniature greenhouse in most any basement vhere there is sufficient heat to keep - |he soil and plants from freezing. At (east, plants for setting out when the i&anger of frost Is past can be easily raised in the basement, and small •vegetables such as radishes, onions *nd lettuce can be raised and eaten by the owner long before It la time to plant such things outside. If the window space In the basement is sufficient a long tray arrangement such as used in greenhouses may be used for the Indoor garden. Such a tray will be sufficient to produce a good quantity of smail vegetables until time to plant outside and at the same time the tomato, pepper, cabbage and other plants may be started, later to be transplanted to individual boxes for more intensive cultivation, and to be ready to transplant in the open with large, healthy plant*. "HOE" THE PLANTS IN FLATt The small spikelike plants that have Just come through the soil Jn the flats In the basement require a little "hoeing" occasionally. Gentle loosening of the ground--not close enough to Injure the tender root*--will do the plants good. Snow Smashes Roof of Motion Picture House at the •-jfcuwr.'-f- $ MANY OTHERS IRE INJURED Playhouse Located In Heart of Capital's Fashionable Northwest 8*e» tion at Columbia Road and Eighteenth Street--Three Feet of Snow. Washington, Jan. 90.--With 4 total of 107 dead and 133 injured removed from the ruins of the Knickerbocker motion picture theater up to an early hour today, the rescuers were still struggling with the heavy wreckage left when the snow-laden roof of the structure collapsed during the showing of a comedy feature bill Saturday night Brigadier General Bandholts, commandant of federal troops in the district, in personal charge of the rescue work, said it might be another 24 hours before it could be definitely said there were no more dead or injured in the wreckage of twisted steel and concrete which yet remained to be cleared away of the mass that was burled down without warning on the pleasure- Reeking hundreds below. Rescuers Seek Man Alive. ' » It was believed, however, that the section now being explored would yield few additions to the awful list of dead and Injured, it being near the rear end and under the part of the balcony which held up when the front of it crashed down to the theater pit under the impact of the falling roof. A party of the rescuers early today had been struggling for hours to release from the part of the wreckage uow being overturned one man believed to be yet alive, although imprisoned under the mass for nearly 36 hours. The great »weiglit of the steel beams and concrete which crashed with the roof have in many Instances made the rescue of victims harrowlngly slow and tedious. The capital city was bowed with grief today to learn the full extent of the tragedy. Hydraullo Jack* Used. Hydraulic jacks brought to the scene of the disaster from the local navy yard raised huge steel girders and blocks of cement beneath the wreckage of the balcony, and wdrkers found additional bodies and evidence that still others remain under the ruins. Among those thought mortally Injured are CoL Edward H. Shaughnessy of Chicago, second assistant postmaster general and wearer of the army distinguished service cross, won in the World war, and his wife and child. Among the dead was George Eldridge, who was identified by United States Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, his brother-in-law. Others killed were Chauncey C. Bralnerd, Washington cdrrespondent of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and member of the Gridiron club, and Col. Charles Coles Tucker, well-known attorney. Hospitals are filled with the woundr ed and residences and places of business in the exclusive Northwest section are serving as hospitals. l?be First Church of Christ, Scientist, one block distant, has been turned into a temporary morgue aud bodies of more than fifty of the victims lie awaiting Identification or removal by relatives. The church was the scene of many hurried and crude first-aid operations by surgeons, while a Catholic priest knelt with the dying or prayed over todies of the dead, and police and marines searched the clothing for identification marks. Mas* Falls 8*v*nty-Five Feet. Many of the dead were crushed under the weight of the balcony of the theater, with its supporting steel girders, which was carried down Into the pit by the falling roof. Six or seven rows of seats directly under the front of the balcony were crushed down to the floor. Others of the dead were seated further front In the orchestra circle, and were caught ander the roofing which there had a clear fall of about seventy-five feet. Congressman's Niece Dying. Caroline Upshaw, niece of Congressman Upshaw of Georgia, was taken from the ruins with her . right leg practically torn off. There is little hope of her living. Among the dead was George Eldridge, who was identified by United States Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, his brother-in-law. Others killed were Chauncey C. Bralnerd, Washington correspondent of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and member of the Gridiron club, and Col. Charles Colas Tucker, well-known attorney. It a cold or grip la--piny you miserable?
