FRESH FLOWERS FOR TABLE
ADD TO THE BEAUTY
OF The HOME

The fern which lent so much fresh
ness to the dining table all winter sud
denly presents an aspect dead and de
pressed. Our very souls. at this time
OF the year, call aloud for fresh blooms.
Flowers for the table should be scru-
pulouely fresh. Nothing so disarms one
at the beginning of a meal as does a
bunch OF faded and too often ill-OdOred
posies.
The Commonest field flower. freshly
plucked. has a transCending charm over
the faded orchid of Tarest variety
Then, too. be sure that the flowers are
free from ants or other little insects
harmless, but not appetizinz. Sec that
the water in which cut flowers are kept
IS always absolutely pure.

Flying MaehInss In War.

New York.-Expressing the belief
that an aerial navy would be far step
In the dnal conquest OF war, Hudson
Maxim. inventor OF explosives. and first
maker Of smokeless powder in this
country, speaking Saturday night at
the second annual banquet Of the Acre
Club OF New York at the St. Regis, de-
clared that We must have armaments
In order to enforce International Law
and that We need = stronger navy.
Mr.. Maxim surprised his auditors BY
declaring that the Japanese had ~.
Gently purchased OF q steel company at
Newark. New Jersey. 5000 tons OF ride
barrels. rides enough to arm $50 900
men. Most of the rifles, the speaker
stated, were in the hands 0f the jap
anese troops.
Mr.. Maxim. speaking Of the part the
hying machine would play In war.
said:
Some terrible things have been pre-
dicted for the flying machine a. . war
engine. II IL comforting to know that
no very great loss Of life Or property
would result from dynamite dropping
from hyIng machines. for tho reason
that 1t requires confinement to work
very wide destruction. Half . ton OF
dynamite dropped upon the four.inch
deck OF q battleship might kill 4 few
men. wreck some Of the supsrstructure
and dent the deck bit. but tho dc.
struction would not be widespread and
the crew below would be uninjured.
dropped on coast fortihcations the
damage would be negligible. Half.
ton bombs dropped into the streets Of .
large city or on top Of the great build.
inEs would shake . few foundations,
break . lot OF glass and kill . few pso.
pie.
THE flying machine will have very
great use In war ~ scouting craft for
the purpose Of locating an enemy and
inspecting his position: but the enemy
will have his aerial pickets out. too,
and there will be many . tilt In the ais
between the warning craft"
