Rrpkautlug Oardcn Space Which Has Alrrady Pro?laced a Crop. Washington. June 6.?Now that radishes, lettuce, and in some sec? tions peas, spinach and other early orops are being harvested, home gar? deners should bo making their prep? arations to utlllxe the freed space by planting other crops, say specialists of the United States department of agri? culture. In planning for these plantings, the specialists suggest, it Is well at all times, but especially this year, to con? centrate effort* on the production of vegetables that have considerable food value and on those which may be stored In their natural condition, dried or canned for winter use. Late Irish potatoes is one of the important crop; that ean be grown on the free I .rround. Navy beans furnish sut stan iJsi food which Is easily stored, and l.he present market prices make It urorth while In sections where they thrive, to replant space from which crops have been harvested, with th'.s legume. Other vegetables having considerable food value from which choice may be taade for late plantings include sweet corn, string beans, late beets, turnip., tomatoes, squash and pumpkins. As far north ss northern New Jersey, southeastern Pennsylvania, central Ohio, central Indiana, northern Illi? nois and central Iowa, sweet potatoes a so may he depended on to mature fiom plantings made as late ns June 10 on sandy land. Among the leas nutritious vege? tables which may be planted In soil freed by early harvests are late cab biwve and cucumbers. Winter onions, fall lettuce nnd fall radishes also may be planted late In the season. It Is not essential, the specialists point out. to wait until ull radishes, hesds of lettuce ard other early ma? turing plants sre removed before planting seeds or seeting plants for succeeding crops. Torn or beans. for saample. may be started in spaces mads In radishes or lettuce rows, or between the rows. Tbe radishes or lettuce will then be harvested before the lato planted crops neod all th> ground. Equally satisfactory results can be obtained from the combination of other early and late vegetable*-.. i .mihi, rninit Notes.

Washington, June 1.?Prohibition legislation was approved today by the | senate finance committee as a new: feature of the war tax hill. Prohibitive taxes upon distillation! of whiskey and other spirits for bevor? age purposes, with a hau upon their importation, were agreed upon by a substantial majority of the commit? tee. Taxes llxed by the house on beer and wines were left temporarily un? changed. General suspension of beverage pro? duction by distilleries and use of liquor now in bonded warehouses probably would be the effect of the new tax section if enacted into law. Manufacture of alcohol for indus? trial, mechanical or medicinal pur pores would not be .affected. In addition to the present tax of $2.120 per gallon on liquor, a tax of $20 per Uushel (from $5 to $9 a gnl lon) upon all grain, cereal or other foodstuffs used in manufacturing whiskey or other distilled spirits for use as beverages was written into the bill. Increased taxes of $8 per gallon upon molasses, syrups and substitutes used in distillation for beverage pur? poses was .also agreed upon. Permits for exportation would be given only for war purposes upon application by a nation at war with Germany. As supplementary legislation th committee further approved an amendment prohibiting importation into this country. Puerto Pico and the Philippines of distilled spirits ex? cept for industrial, mechanical or scientific purposes. Senator Gore of Oklahoma, n pro? hibition advocate, was the author of the liquor amendments. The prohibitive taxes, I^cvi Cooke. counsel for the national distilling in? terests, said tonight, will result in virtually complete cassation of dis? tillation for beverage purposes. In addition to determining the liquor questions toda* the commit? tee voted tentatively against increas? ing second class postage rates on newspapers, magaxlnea and other publications. A flat 2 per cent. tax on advertising receipts was instead agreed upon. Senator I*a Folletto later presented an amendment ex empting certain classes of publica? tions from the advertising tax. Pub? lishers receiving- less than $2,000 an? nually from advertising have beet1 suggested for exemption Piano Pupils K ccit.il.

In Venice there wns a hereditary oligarchy, an artificial Institution un? der which certain powerful families I nrrognted to themselves all the high of ' flees of the state. The absurd con? servatism of tlio Venetian aristocracy led to their destruction. They were so hidebound in rigorous traditions that they were unable to advance, nnd progress swept them away. In Spain ' the hldal?OS clung to the sentiment of nobility long after they bad ceased to be capable of doing anyIhing really noble, and the result was that the Spanish aristocracy may well be de? scribed as a class of self-important j beings as poor, as eccentric, nnd us im : Impotent ns Don Quixote, who thus he ' came a tvue rather than a caricature.
