GUARD AGAINST FROST DAMAGE i Washington. D. C„ Sept. 3—Don't , watch the moon for signs of the frost; watch the weather bureau. And when the warning from the , forecaster comes, as it usually will from 24 to 48 hours In advance, look to the protection of the garden produce which is not yet under cover. There are a number of ways to forestall the surprise attacks of this Jack Frost person and representatives of the United States weather bureau, realizing that a good deal more produce will bo subject to loss from frost this fall than ever before, have advised early preparedness on the part of farmers. First, the specialists suggest, protective coverings should be made reaily. Vegetables cannot scamper to cover, but the gardener can scamper covering to the vegetables anil perhaps save a winter s supply in a short time if he is prepared. Old blankets, tarpaulins, sacks, straw, manure, paper and various other materials may be used for covering. The conditions favorable for the formation of early frost in fall are usually of short duration and consequently protective measures ordinarily will have to be employed only for a day or two. After the first fall frost there ts generally a return to normal temperatures for a number of days, possibly for a week or more, during which time ommature vegetables that have been protected will continue to grow or ripen. WTten frost is imminent and protection is not possible or practicable, vegetables likely to be injured should be gathered and canned, dried, pickled, preserved or stored. Those that cannot be saved from exposure to freezing should, if possible, be gathered before thawing takes place. In the ease of potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, all vines should be cut off at the surface of the ground after the occurrence of frost. Tomatoes may be pulled up, plants and ail. and hung tops downward in a dark place, preferably a cellar. When treated in this way the fruit will ripen nicely and slowly and will be available for table use for a long time after the plants have been removed from the soil. Fruit that is very immature should be reroved from the vines and may be used for pickling or in other ways. If facilities for hanging the vines are lacking, the tomatoes nearing full growth will ripen satisfactorily if wrapped separately in paper and stored in a dark place. Many vegetables, such as cabbage and turnips are not harmed by ordinary frost and need no special protection. In fact, such root vegetables as carrots, parsnips and salsify are improved by freezing and are customarily left in the gronud until needed. o CAMPAIGN FOR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. Labor unions, parent-teacher associations, women’s clubs, churches and other religious bodies, and many other organizations directly concerned with education have been enlisted by the United States Bureau of Education ‘n a campaign for the maintenance i f school efficiency as a special patriotic duty this year. In his appeal Dr. Claxton, commissioner of education, points out the existing fear lest public schools shall suffer because of conditions growing out of the entrance oi the United States into the war. He emphasizes the fact that as a measure I of present defense and for the future of the country, as well as for the individual benefit of tjie children, it Is of the greatest importance that the schools be maintained In the highest standards of efficiency. | Especially important, in the view i.f I the commissioner, is prompt and regular attendance at school and proper employment during out-of-school hours These, the commissioner, believes, will be the children’s surest protection against temptations to juvenile delinquencies. Labor unions are especially appealed to to urge the children now in high . school to complete their work. Superi intendents of schools of labor unions in their communities in the efforts :o keep children in school. RED CROSS ON DUTY The Red Cross is rapidly perfecting plans to care for the comfort of the first detachments of the national army. l which will be sent to the cantonments beginning September sth. Under the i supervision of Winthrop M. Crane, Jr., manager of Crane and Company, paper .manufacturers, who has recently belw<i»9 an assistant director of military I relief, the chapters are being organizI ed into a canteen service for the pur--1 pose of supplying refrer»ments io supplement the regular rations provided by the war department.
