Home Gardens I It'Is'nbt too early to think of home gardens, say experts of the department of agriculture and garden supervisors. Little actual work can be done these? days, but he wise gardener decides on the vegetables- which he Will plant and plans the general outline of his garden. I Home gardens came into their own during the war. Residents of Richmond took up the idea with amazing interest, establishing a record for the number of gardens in proportion to the population that was not excelled in the United State Since the war, they have continued tto plant gardens and to utilize waste space for the cultivation crops. Frotn an economic standpoint the home garden has proved itself a valuable means of cutting down household expenses during an era of high prices.?; In this period of readjustment and of economic stabilization, the average man will find it profitable this spring to -utilize his back yard and vacant lots for the cultivation of foodstuffs that will find a place on his table or be canned for winter consumption. ' Many a man has made up his mind early in spring to plant a garden, but his decision never ripened into action because he kept putting off beginning work from day to day. There are pjenty of empty lots in Richmond that should be under cultivation this year. A lot upon which vegetables are growing advertises our city much better than does a lot covered with weeds and old cans.

Cleaning Up the Rubbish . The' advent of spring suggests emphatically that we get rid of the rubbish and combustible matter which has been littering attics, basements, yards and bams. The housewife doesn't let a spring go by without cleaning house. The men and boys of a family ought to consider it their duty to remove the trasTi and rubbish from

the premises, deposit it in the alley, or make arrangements to have it removed. One of the reasons why Richmond has a low fire loss is because our citizens do not let big piles of discarded papers, magazines, rags, and other inflamable material accumulate to create a hazard. But constant vigilance is necessary to keep us from forgetting the necessity of promptly removing everything that will invite a fire. Besides its utilitarian purpose, the removal of trash has another good effects It keeps paper off the streets and sidewalks and removes rubbish that would give a slatternly appearance to the city. All of us take pride in the clean appearance of Richmond. To keep Richmond clean, we cannot permit the accumulation of waste materials.

Answers to Questions

. The City Political Organizations The ready response of voters in signing their names to the petitions asking for an election on the city manager plan should convince the leaders of the two political parties that there will be no chance for the old form of city government in Richmond next year. The city manager form of government will be adopted here without fail, automatically relegating old-time city politicians to the rear and removing the necessity of political organizations for municipal purposes. The city will be managed on a strictly busi-

the assignment of positions on the ground of political activity. Men will be selected for their fitness for office, irrespective of their political affiliations. Merit and not party connections will rule in the selection of men to administer the affairsof Richmond. The progress of the home rule movement here is being matched in many cities of Indiana that are desirous of changing their form of government. Very few cities in which the option of discarding the old for the new form of government is put to a test will fail to adopt the new form. In some cities where the politicians have a tight grip on municipal affairs, the opportunity for an election will not be given to the people. Political leaders in these cities have raised such a hue and cry against home rule that many of the people believe the plan is an untried innovation and consequently they are prejudiced against it. But these cities will soon see the light. The successful administration of cities under the new plan will be an argument that no

political boss can answer.

R.' A. Who invented the hydroplane? The Idea of " the hydroplane was suggested In patent specifications by Gufco Matullath. of Nw York, in 1S99. bnt it had its practical origin in Glenn Curtiss, who added floats to the airplane with which he was experimenting on Lake Keuka In 1908. These were placed under eaca wins so that in case of scr.ident to the plane it would not sink. Langein and others had made experimental flights over bodies of water for the sme readout. Probably the first to make the floats a part of. the machine was Fabre, who

on March 28, J910, made the flraU

night in a practical hydroplane At Martlgnes, on the Seine. Curtiss soon abandoned floats and built boat bodies

and for this accomplishment he reI ceired the Aero Club trophy of I America in 1911.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

You hear folks speak of days of yore, of the "good old days" that went before the coming of ihe past decade or two; and . some, folks like to weep and moan, fcnd -gnash their teeth and loudly groan because those ' good old days" of yore are through. Most old folks speak of meat and drink of yore po cheap that young folks think it cost a pittance then to live for years; while some old boys will reminisce of dollar banquets with some miss who brazenly expod he naked ears. A friend of mine who's old and gray will tell you of a long gone day when he could irip from cups of sparkling cheer; and I lien with groans that drive one mad. his faded eyes tear-8tajnied and sad. he speaks of governments that . stop his beer. My maiden aunt who's tall and' thin bemoans our girlies' "brazen sin of cutting off their dresses at the knee: and she recalls "the good old day" when maids devised a hundred M ays to shield their ankles so no man could see.

WALTER F. BROWN. Walter F. Brown is slated to receive appointment to one of the most important diplomatic posts by President Harding.

Those who knew of the service ren-' dered Harding by Brown before and '

at the Chicago con-: vention last year, J as well as during,

the campaign, believed ho would be given some recognition. Brown is now a prominent lawyer in Toledo. He was born in Massillon. Ohio, May 31, 1869.

He was graduated . from Harvard Uni-i

versity in 1892, and then attended Harvard law school. He

began the practice of law with his father in Toledo in 1894. in 1908 he became a member of the firm of Brown, Hahn & Sanger. He was chairman of the Republican Mate central committee from 1906 to 1912. In 1912 he became chairman of (he Progressive state central and executive committee and member of the Progressive national executive committee.

President Harding, la eeater, with croup of Indian visitors at the White House. Hardly any group of eitizens is more interested In the new administration than the Indians, wno wont the "Great White Father" to appoint one of their own blood as commissioner of Indian affairs. A deleE?0B "PM" nany Indian tribes recently called on him at the White House. President Harding; in turn has been greatly interested n the problem of the red men since meeetlng a delegation at the front porch in Marion last summer. On that occasion he took the peace pipe handed to him by one of the. chiefs, thereby sealing the bond of friendship. Especially honored among the Indians were Miss Jane Z. Gordon of the Wyandotte tribe, and Chief Hare of the Yankton Sioux who were photographed with the president and Mrs. Hardin.

BUILDING Tho greatest bridgebuilrler of the age is Gustav Lindenthal, who is now planning to construct across the Hudson river the most stupendous bridge in the world. Gustav Lindenthal does not know how many bridges he has been concerned with; he has been so busy building he has never had time to count them. When one thing is done Lindenthal passes on to another; and in a life so closely packed with accomplishment that his fourscore and ten seem fairly to have flown, he has built many things other than bridges the most important of which is a great career. Gustav Lindenthal was born in Austria, where at 20 he had been graduated at a first-class technical school and w as a fullfledged engineer. At' 24 he had had an important part in constructing railroads and bridges iu Austria and Sw itzerland. America was then going through her boom period of tremendous railroad development, and Lindenthal decided to emigrate and really learn practical lailroad construction and bridgebuilding.

They had just started work on the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia j when Lindenthal, armed with an imposing array of degrees, diplomas, distinc-j tions and titles, inquired whether they were, in need of a chief draughtsman or chief engineer. He thought such a position might be acceptable. j They looked over hia titles, examined his degrees, fingered his medals.;

put him through a third degree, and then they told him they would let him know. Lindenthal now wore out several pairs of perfectly gocd tihoes in an unsuccessful quest for some place where he could be "boss of the works." And then he did something which immediately stamped him as a "comer" he took all his diplomas, degrees and other professional bric-abrac, which, by the way, had become much frayed from the frequent, unrolling, crammed them into the bottom of his trunk, and remembering the trade he had learned in the old country, lined up for a job as mason on the foundations of Memorial Hall. This trip he landed. And when the opportunity offered he whispered into the ears of the "boss" that be knew a bit about draughting and engineering sind would be glad to help out in a pinch.

It so -happened one day that the chief engineer was tanen pick, ana mat several of hia assistants were unexpectedly called to attend their grandmoth

ers' funerals, and it being recalled that young Lindenthal had said something

about his being familiar with blueprints, the foreman, took a Brodie and ; put him o:j some draughting work. ' The "chief" continued sick, and Lindenthal having made good on the! draughting, he was permitted to gp on with the work he had begun, which it was expected would take him about three. months to finish. At the end of three week Lindenthal had turned it out in shipshape. j He was given a permanent place on the staff, put to planning iron con

which is still standing in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. That is, he deigned the dome for the very structure on which he had started a-s a mason, working on the foundations. ' Since then Lindenthal has planned and designed the marvelous system of Pennsylvania tunnela under the Hudson and East rivers. He has surveyed and laid thousands of miles of railway tracks. He has built piers, foundations and everything else a civil engineer can construct and these in nearly every state of our country and in almost every country in the civilized world. But the thing that he took the greatest pleasure In building, says Lindenthal, was the dome of Memorial Hall; it was the longed-for fruition of the lesson he had learned that when it comes to building, whether it Is a house, a bridge or a career a man is planning to rear, the only way to build successfully, to build to reach the top, is to start on the foundations. He must begin at the boitom and climb. And the man who tries to aviate is simply up in the air till he cornea down to earth. (Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Co.)

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

SAFE OR SORRY "I'm sorry a mm can be," the motorist explained, when he had run down Mr. Chee, and left him maimed and sprained. "I'm sure I would not strip the fur from any walking gents; I would not. have such things occur for fifty-seven cents." But Mr. Ohee, with busted bones, goes homeward in a crate, and he exclaims, in wailing tone. "Your sorrow comes too late! Had you but watched the road ahead, maintaining lawful speed,. I would not have a broken head, my oerson would

not bleed. You did not care just Where you went, you teetered left and right.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" ABOVE THE BLUE This Talk was thought out a thousand feet above the Atlantic ocean, in a modern air boat. There were ten others as companions ot mine and the name of the air cruiser was "Columbus!" I thought of that other Columbus who came in a boat hardly larger than this and over the same waters just a little way beneath us. I vas wrapped In wonder. I was almost Bpellbound with feeling. We were in the air for nearly two hours and traveled about 100 miles. Below us the waters sparkled In the sunlight and their various blues fascinated me. Shadows from overhanging clouds touched the face of the great ocean here and there while we went forward so smoothly and delightfully. Scores of flying fish skipped like ants from wave to wave. Now and then a big steamer would be seen below hardly larger to us than the boats we used-to sail in Mother's tub. But all the time that wonderful blues as far as one could see! There was the same comfort as is to be found on a great ocean liner. We touched an island for lunch and then shot out into the Ocean to rise again! " And as we came to our home port and circled over a great city, I could see the big boats of the harbor almost step up to greet us. Then we reached for the arms of the ocean again and the trip was over. I thought of the Wrights and the other pioneers who made this great, achievement possible. To them must go the glory. The air flyer has passed the experimental stage. It now enters its great place as a cooperative force in the progress of the world, in the distribution of ideas, and in the uniting of the nations. Soon great air ships will span every part of this little globe of oursf
