One Is forced to the conclusion that
tlm, statement made by Charles (iray
Shaw, professor of philosophy of the New

an Individual, always a satellite," was
not so far off. For, nfter'all, have not
many of us been "revolving around i-omo

ganized to stand n'one?
Those who have will be forced to re
construct their lives considerably. I was
talking to a woman today whose close
friendships are confined almost entirely
to the opposite sex. Not that she Is In
love with nny particular man, hut she
Just is a "man's woman," and has never
cared for her own sex ns a class. She
aid that she had been weeping copiously,
for, as It happened, every one of tho
men she knew well had been called away
to tho colors, and she felt suddenly "a
maiden all forlorn." It heeins a pity to
confine orio's friendships to any one man
or woman or set, for sooner or later
there Is bound to be a lift, and then you

Hints on Cooking Vegetables
To the Editor of IVomna'a Paoe:
Dear Madam Here are several hints for
housewives on the proper way to cook vegetables.
There are a few things to remember first, lo
retain all the mineral matter and nutriment
possible to soften the cellulose and to develop
the flavor, making them mors palatable, spin
ach rooked properly should be well washed and
looked with the addition of no water, or very
little. Usually the water which remains after a
thorough washing Is sufficient. This vegetable,
which Is rich In Iron, Is soluble In water and
may be nearly valueless as a food. This Is true
of salsify, green peas and beans or. In fact, any
of the dtllcately flavored succulent vegetables.
The seasoning Is another Important Item, the
flavor should never he disguised by 'seasoning.
Usually, sutler, pepper and salt, not too much,
ta best. HOI.'snKKKrEH.

performed at my age? " '
Is there any disadvantage In having one's ears
pierced other than the pain of the operation?
Would I, at any time when not wearing car

I will appreciate and thank you for your
advice on these questions. KATIUtYN c
I would ndvfse you to have your cam
pierced by some one who has performed lh
operation before. It is done by running a
needle threaded with a silk through the
lobe of the ear. then drawing' the noedle
out and allowing the silk thread to remain
In, moving It occasionally to keep the hole
open until It has healed: this takes only
a few days as a rule. The silk before being
run fn Is greased with a little cold cream.
There Is no danger provided you use ster
lllted articles, and no disadvantage unless
It ,be tha't the weight of the earring drags
down the lobe of the ear.

Proper Grouping of Vegetable Varieties

garden helps, and greatly, to solve
the problem of the feeding of the
nations." President Wilson.
Bring your gardening problems to
the Evening Ledger for practical,
helpful solution. Address JOHN
BARTRAM.
It is NOT TOO LATE to start a
garden. The season is LATE. Plan
now and start work next week.
QUN rows north and south. This will
XV give th fuil eastern exposure to the
growing things.
Ilun rows along, rather than up and
down a slope.
Other requirements being equal. jnaUe
rows as long and continuous as possible.
This means le3n time and effort In cultivat
ing and weeding, also In preparation of the
rows.
Tlan out the rows so as to keep the larg
est possible proportion of the soil working
tho entire season.
But do not let two crops of the same
nature follow each other. Do not for In
stance let string beans follow eaily peas
of eggplants or peppers, early tomatoes or
late beets, early beets. This Is particularly
necessary 01 observance In the case of beans
and peas which take a great deal of nltro

If It can be avoided, do not let tho same
crops follow In the same ground In succes
slve seasons. Have your beans, peas, etc., n
one location one year and me next year put
your corn there.

Any work or exetcise that brings the ab

excess of fat. Swimming Is one of the best
exercises for this purpose. Sawing wood
Is good woik to reduce a fat abdomen, Try
this exercise: l.le on tlie back and raise tho

wise put your tall-growing, crops, when
ever possible, well to tne western end of

growths.
Plant together vegetables requiring the
Mime Intervals of space Between rows,
gradually Increasing the distance between

Plant vegetables that go In drills l. e.,

OHOUPINO OF VATtlETIKS.
Plant crops that require shallow culti
vation In.adjacent rows and those that need
deeper hoeing Imewise together. Tomatoes,
corn, lima beans are some of theve.
The reason back of this grouping Is sim
ply that of efficiency, whlcn primarily In
any line of activity Is to get the best re
sults and cover the maximum of territory
at a minimum expenditure of energy. If
you use a wheel hoe (garden cultivator) as
you eventually will by having adjacent the
crops requiring similar treatment you will
save constant readjustment of the Imple
ments and gearing; if you use the old
fashioned hoe you will savt some elbow
grease by working continually at one speed
and one sort of laDor once you are "set."
Quickly maturing crops should be planted
between those ot slow growtn, which take
nearly or all of the season for results.
If you are a "smalt garaenei do a little
seeding often ratner than stake all your
chances on a lengthened row sowed at one
time. Then If anytning goes wrong and

XXXVII On the Roof
ROWDY and I slept late tho next morn
ing and, though I felt my father kiss
me, I did not open my eyes. I Just put my
arms around his neck and gave him an old
fashioned daddy-squeeze, which Is different
from any other squeeze, and kept my face
shut and went to sleep again. When I got
up ho had mixed the pancakes and fried his
and gone to bed I washed a plate to eat
off of nnd fried pancakes for Rowdy and
me. Then I was ready to ramble, hQt 1
thought I would go upstairs and kl.s my
father once more.
L'p there I seemed to i-ee the window
opening on tho roof for the llrst time, so
I crawled out of It on to the roof. Howdy
didn't want to come at first, but Just stuck
his head out and whined, hut nt laBt he
followed me out. I crawled up to tho peak
of tho roof and stood there on the front
end of the peak and Rowdy lay with Ins
front feet over the peak, looking scared It
was. fine up there, fnr the wind blew 111 v
hair nut straight and whipped my dre!-s
about my legs
Mr. Carpenter come .by nn his way to the
store and I thought I would 'ask him where
the little girl lived who put her arm around
me. I called out, "Mr. fnrpenler!'' He
looked behind him and then started to go
on. Then I said. "Mr Carpenter!" again
tin looked behind himself again and didn't
see anybody and ho looked nil around him
nnd then he started to go on
I said. "Mr. Carpenter!" ngaln. and he
went Into our yard and looked under the
steps and among the weeds Then I said.
"I'm on the roof." So ho looked up nnd
said. "I hope you break your fool nock,"
and went on.
I asked him the name nf the little girl,
but he would not answer me, and so I do
not know It at all and maybe I never will.
But I am going to school when school opens
and maybe the teacher will tell me where
tho little girl lives, for tlie teacher knows
everything. I want to ask her n few things
about my mother, how she is getting along
nnd what Heaven looks like, anil to tell her
not to worry about Itowdy anil me, for we
are doing line, and so In my father.
When I went to get back to the window
It was a lot harder to get back than It wns
to get out, but I managed It, and then I
twisted my head out and called Howdv.
He didn't want to come at first, hut flnaliv
he started to come down the roof to me.
Then ho began to run and he did not stop
at the window, but rah right over the
edge of the rnof. I was scared and ' ran
down out of the attic antl there ho was
Ho had fallen on the toof of the porch and

which Marled off.

Hilly thought he had never ridden in
such a wagon before he could not help
wondering If It had springs. "I can't help
laughing when I think of those spring I
ate yesterday They were good "
It had not oci lined to Hilly lu n ng
time that lie was hungry, but mddiv
he smelled rubber If there was one t V
lu all this world he loved. It v. as rubheT
"How dainty it smcIK" lie was thinking
i can't see and so that makes my nose all
Hie more sensitive. I guess 1 will poke
my tongue out a tiny bit and see wlpt hap
pens lie did so and what was his surprise
to find that it came In contact with rubber'
"lil'ilKKIl!"
Hilly was so excited to think there was
rubber mi) vv hero near lilm tht he could
not think for a moment. When lie had
recovered sufficiently, he took 11 little nib
ble out of the rubber, which was a poncho,
a garment worn by the soldier in rainy
weather.
Hy antl by Hilly could see n imin cn.
,lght coming through tlm hole lie had made
witii ins teeiii. -rue dear old country
once more, but war Is war and 1 must be
brave," bo was thinking jvhen the wagon
came to h. stop and one of the soldiers
nlighted and emtio to the icar of the wacon
vvhero Hilly was. "-inon
"Of all things," ho exclaimed. "If that
goat hasn't eaten my poncho!"
"That will he about all for him," replied
another soldier, as bo took hold of Hlllv
and started off with hint In the direction' of
where he had slept tlm llrst night. When
the tent was reached Hilly heard tho parrot
say. "you talk too much. You talk too
much."
I.lttlo did tho parrot know what was go
