lngton, Feb. ii.—The r»-
Jtioftti war garden commission is
["•preparing to launch' this spring 'a
L^canipaign for "the biggest producing
jiiyear the country ever saw." To spur
home gardeners to renewed ef-
)0gforts the commission reminds them
mtthat
tho clocks of the nation will be
one hour ahead on the last Satur
pgday night in March, in compliance
wiwith the daylight saving law in ef
no'ect for the duration of the war.
wc "We must help feed the people of
00
Europe," declared Charles Lath .-op
depacH, president of the national war
®*garden commission, in an appeal to
the home gardeners for larger re
*®sultB. "Will you have a part in thja

fi According to the estimates by the
a commission, the war garden crop of
,1918 was worth $525,000,000. This
t-was an increase of 51 per cent over
athat
of 1917.
"Figures show that 5,285,000 home

says the commission. "With 26

A speedy trip acrbdt the Atlantic.'1
Captain Sundstedt. who is an ex

Confidence in talking about the pro

To Carry Tton Dastf Rations.
The seaplane, he said, would carry
formations there, Thrgpghout the
whole .of it there is a conspicuous al
teration due to contact? metamor
phism. According to the opinion of
scientists who have studied the lo
cality thoroughly, the time at which
the manganese was deposited, called
the Vperiod of enriohmeiit,"' was
probably during the pre-Tertiary
period.
The alteration referred to is"con
fined to the sedimentary rocks, and
in this formation the manganese ores
are found. They not only occur in
bedded deposits, upon anti-cllnes
dipping into the contact, but in the
easterly and westerly fissure, bearing
silver, lead and zinc ores occurring in
the sedimentary country, entering the
contact, which is from. 20 to 80 feet
wide, .but apparently not penetrating
into the granite formation.
The manganese is found to consti
tute the ledge-filling of the fissures1
a* they approach the contact. Asso-:

covery, was the rich silver ore of the

greatest depth, cut 20 or more feet'i
of the ore, this being a part of the
ledge filling.
Presumably the body continues
downward, but as it had no .yalue at
the", time, no attempt was made to
determine the! fact. It therefore, is
astiumed by. mining men that the
manganese 16 to be found in depth
in all of the fissures lying within the
metamorphosed area.
When the demand was made for
manganese by the War Industries
Board, acting under the provisions of
the. war ..minerals bill which was en
acted to stimulate production and to
regulate the -price of-metals essential
in the manufacture of war materials,
the manganese of this .district came
into immediate" demand. Slight de
velopment showed large and rich
deposits of it.
The production from the Philips
burg quadrangle since the beginning
of the mining and shipment of the
raw material probably will exceed
300,000 tons.

J.
It is quite the reverse. The gov
ernment takes the position that as it
called these men in health and
strength from their pre-war occupa
tions, the moral duty upon the gov
ernment is to make restitution as. far
as possible. The medical authorities
do all that is possible to restore the
men to health and strength and the
government then proceeds' to neutral
ise impairments by specialized educa
tion. The abilities that remain to
the.man are developed to their utmost
limit, and the result is that he Is able
to do some one thing particularly
well.
