::), ,, PAGE SIX ENGINEERS MASTER DANGER ON "DEAD MAN'S CURVE" The increased easualUes on "Dead Men Hills" all over the nation, due to the great volume of motor touring, has resulted in American engineers getting busy devising a metnd to eliminate the measure. Here is a picture and diagram of the problem solved. It is on "'l 1 Man's Curve" be- tween Washington and Baltimore. The most dangerous curve has been • elimina, by a fill--as shown in the .iagram.

"Apply BARGE AT FOOT OF MADISON STREET MASON COUNTY JOURNAL I II II I II Ill , , IIome Gardens Help Cut Cost of Living War gardens played their part in the great mobilization of resources in war time--thrift gardens now have their own big job in helping households to feed themselves. The ceasons for thrift gardens are many and various. The reasons that exist- ed last year and the year before are still present. Thrift gardens will produce food where otherwise nothing would be produced, they will reduce family food bills, they will produce abundantly in proportion to the time and effort devoted to them, and in addition to these reasons is one pe- :uliar to this year. Reports of the U. S. Department )f Agriculture indicate that there will be a material reduction in com- mercial production this year, due to the fact that the commercial pro- ducers can not secure labor to work the normal acreage. They claim that they have paid high wages in an endeavor to keep up production, but now have reached the point where the returns will not justify the con- tinuance of the expense. If the reduction of commercial gar- dening becomes a fact the obvious result will be fewer vegetables and higher prices. The logical remedy lies partly in home gardens. This is a remedy, moreover, that will work no harm even if the 'commercial acreage should be up to' normal, as any surplus of fresh vegetables may be saved by canning, drying, and other means of conservation and the surplus kept so that it will be useful next fall and winter. .Secretary of Agriculture Meredith has the following to say on the sub- ject: "All discussion about the high cost of living aside, one way to have food at a reasonable cost is to grow it in your back yard. The garden can not do it all but it can help won- derfully, especially with such impor- tant necessaries as potatoes and beans. It is true that the war taught the Americans the value of home garden- ing. While the complete statistics of the production in gardens are r),m ,q" :h,,rdeon. accmm,mh'd hy lho lacking, it is the belief of the De- r.,.m.r's rathe,...i,'. V,,0er, sp,m, S,,- partment of Agriculture aud the State workers in this fiehl, based on wide observation, that more food was produced in home grunions In4 year than in the war year 017 191S." While the cost ,t! fo,t :tL ],,>(n is nearly double what it was i; 1:)!4, the cost of planting and ralsing a garden has increased very little. !
