man was traced to Lawrence, Mass,

arrested and revealed the stolen goods

GROWING Your Dish Cloths.

1t was sometime in May that friend
found me busily engaged sticking
things in the ground around the outer
part of my flower garden and inquired
what | was doing. Planting dish
cloths was my prompt and truthful,
if somewhat puzzling reply. 1t took
some explanation to convince her that
l really meant what | said.
Many of us know the Luffa cloth
which we purchase at the stores for
the bathroom, and have used it with
little or no thought of its origin. or
knowledge that we can produce it in
our own back yard. Yet there are few
plants more easily grown.
All that is required is a packet of
Luffa gourd seeds, which can be OBJ
tanned from any scotsman, and e
warm place, like a box in sunny win
dow or better still. warm hotbed.
The gourd is a plant of the tropics
and in its alien home requires some
coddling at the start. For this reason
the plants should not be transplanted
to the open ground until all danger of
frost is passed and the ground and
nights are warm. 1t is also good
idea to plant the seeds singly in small
of the hotbed. Then when it comes
warm weather. the pots will be found
full of roots and the ball of earth can
be slipped out and into the ground.
without disturbing the plants in the
least. In this way the growth of the
vines will not be checked.
Have warm. mellow soil. we'll en-
riched with barnyard manure for the
plants and furnish support for the
vines from the start. Wire netting,
stretched close to the ground. so that
the vines can get hold upon 1T at the
start, is best. 1t should cover a
space of II or Is feet square. as the
vines are vigorous, and for best results
should have plenty of room.
The vines will do we'll in almost any
exposure, unless too hot and dry, but a
north and east light are to be pre-
ferred. and the vines must not be al
lowed to suffer for water at any stage
of their growth
The beauty of the Luffa as dish
cloth lies principally in its wonderful
aptness for remaining clean and pure
under any and all circumstances
Neither grease nor CRIME adhere to It
and it never stains. Just wash it out
in clean soap suds and behold, as long
as a bit remains, perfectly clean
cloth!
The Luffa gourd has long been
known to commerce. where it appears
under the various appellations of
Luffa, Lola, Luf, Loot, and so on. In
appearance the vine is rather more
slender than the more ornamental.
fruited sorts, the leaves being of a
lightish green, five or seven lobed, and
the blossoms pale yellow, fragrant
and borne in raeemes. The fruits are
long and rather cylindrical shaped,
being much larger at the end than at
the top When ripe the shell is opened
and found filled with coarse, lace
like fiber which should be carefully
removed, $50 as not to tear it, cleared
from it's seeds and dried. Then it is
ready for use either as a dish cloth or
bath Cloth. Its lasting quality is not
the least of its merits. as it will out
wear any cloth of cotton.-Pictorial
Review.
