OHIO-INDIANA FLOOD STORY
TOLD IN PICTURES.

No accurate estimate can be made
of the number of lives lost or the
financial loss occasioned by the
floods that submerged southern
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois late in
March. 1t is known, however that
hundreds persisted while the proper
ty damage runs into the hundreds of
millions, making it one of the great
est catastrophes in American history
IL not the greatest Of all.
Better than words can tell It. the
story of the flood is revealed in five
pages of photographs reproduced in
the June number Of the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. A map, also, de-
signates the flooded territory.

SERVICE AT AFTERNOON TEA
Flower Basket to Hold the Cakes Is
One OF the Best of the Ideas
Recently Evolved.

For the woman who loves a cup of
tea in the afternoon and who also
likes a small cookie or cheese cracker
or some such tid-bit to nibble while
slipping her tea, there is a new sug-
gestion in the way of serving the wa
fers and cakes.
Often ven a sandwich plate will be
too small to hold as many crackers
as are needed when three or four
friends drop in for a cup of tea and
gossip, and for this a flower basket,
the style that is fiat with a tall handle,
generally used for the garden when
picking flowers, is just the thing, for
1t holds a most surprising number of
cakes, and in this way one a easily
pass a large number of tid-bits at one
time without the least inconvenience,
and for crackers, decorated with jelly
and cheese and such edibles as cannot
be laid on top of each other, this fiat
basket Is unsurpassed.

HoED CROPS IN THE ORCHARD
Practice Results In Severe Damage %
Annual Piantlnes-hoW 70
Reckon the Distance.

One Of the most prolific causes Of
loss of nursery stock after trans
planting, or for several years there
after Ia this common practice OF too
close growing Of hoed crops. This
practice, says Rural Life, results In
severe damages to the annual plant
ings. The loss amounts possibly to
10 per cent. The too common prac-
tice is to allow no more space be-
tween the tree row and the inter-crop
rows than between two inter-crop
rows, be the inter-crops cabbage,
beans, potatoes or corn. Such dis
tances vary from 80 inches to Sh
feet, according to crop used or
planted.
In the first place, the distance
should be reckoned from the expand
ed top of the tree, rather than from
the trunk at base. The outside of top
is a limiting factor, since the allow
ance should be made for leaning of
the same, or possibly all of the tree
on the leeward side.
The nearest row to the tree row
should be far enough from the row
to permit the horse in ~cultivating to
pass freely and without letting har-
ness catch into or come in contact
with branches of tree. 1t will sur
prise those who have never given the
subject much thought, the difference
that the lean or incline of a tree
makes, when it deviates from a
plumb or to a vertical line. In the
writer's opinion the space between
tree row and the nearest winter-cror
row should not be less than four feet
the year trees are planted, If two
years old, or branched trees are used
and farther each succeeding year.

pattern, and cut as many like it as
you want.
On one end of the arc cut into the
outer end, three-quarters Of an inch
from the end, a slit half way across
the paper; on the other end cut the
same from the inner edge. Then bend
the strip and lock the Sits together
to hold each other as f~astenings to the
pot
The little paper pot will be bottom
less and will have set in sand or soil,
whichever is to be used as ground to
grow the things in, and filled as any
pot, putting the seed, cutting or plant
1t in the usual way.
The soil into which the pot is
plunged must, of course, be kept
moist. When the plant is ready to be
shifted to a larger, or transplanted,
the paper can be torn off, leaving the
ball of soil undisturbed, and the plant
will feel no shock of removal.
Many plants cannot stand trans
planting by the usual way, and for
such these little paper pots are found
to be invaluable. Give them a trial.

Birds Lose Fear of AIrshlps.

An extraordinary instance of the in
te1ligence Of birds forms the subject
of a letter received by the French min
istry Of agriculture from an inspector
of forests.
Some time ago the inspector re-
ceived complaints from sportsmen
that quail and cartridges had become
scarce in certain districts.
On examining the matter he found
the birds had deserted the regions In
which aerodromes had been installed.
Seemingly they took the monoplanes
and biplanes for enormous birds Of
prey.
Finding after some time, however,
that their ranks were not thinned by
the strange creatures lowering over
head, cartridges and quail dispatched
scouts to the aerodromes to examine
the air craft at close quarters.
The result of the Investigations of
these feathered ENJOYS was evidently
r~eassurtng, for the birds returned to
their former haunts and the preserves
around LIE Mans and Rheims are now
as well stocked as formerly.

Bedtime Story From Tom Morgan.

Johnny Chuck had a pain in his
head, Yes, sir, that is exactly what
Johnny had in his head. You see,
Sammy Jay hung Johnny Chuck up
ON the venerable wheeZe which every
body but Johnny had heard long, long
ago, viz: How much wood would
a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck
would chuck wood?" Now, Johnny is
the sort Of a chucklehead that takes
everything seriously, and so he went
to work in deadly earnest to figure
1t out. And because he couldn't ar
rive at a satisfactory answer he be-
gan to fear that his brains were leak
ing. SO he developed a crouch and
went grumping around like Aunt Fret
tie and Uncle Pepys do when they eat
too much, and grow so surly that Polly
Chuck and the three little Chucks
yer skeered for their lives. Sew.
eral days later Sammy Jay topped
around again, and finding Johnny in
a low and febrile state, rallied at him,
saying: you remind me of the mar
who worries and fumes over the i'm
pending Japanese invasion, the awful
grief Of the crying crocodiles of the
Nile, and the hellish injustice of the
poor growing poorer and the rich
growing fatter, and overlooks the fact
that the wife he swore to love and
cherish is wearing herself down tc

Here is a little device, so inexpen-

successfully serves so many purposes
in starting seeds and plants, that
every one should avail himself Of its
help.
Take a piece of stiff paper (not
necessarily cardboard) and on it draw
two circles, one within the other; the
outer circle should be six inches ra-
dius, and the inner n three. Cut
out the portion Of paper inside the

of the outer circle, thus having u
shape like a doughnut. Cut this

introduced. White Grape is O very
beautiful fabric and the process Of
water prooing to which English
Grape is subjected has made it prac-
teal.
A turban and veil are pictured
here developed in white. The turban
is of crepe Georgette with veil Of rich
net bordered with white English
Grape. There is no trimming on the
turban but the Grape border on the
veil pinned to the front of the turban
and turned back provides a beautiful
decoration.
Almost a duplicate of this model Is
shown in black. These serve to
demonstrate that it is now simply
matter of choice between black and
white mourning. The introduction of
Grape in the body Of the hat or in
the veil or trimming is significant Of
mourning and makes these models
appropriate for first or deep mourn
ing, Grape is the only fabric every
where acknowledged as correct for
this purpose.

Something more than q mere desire
for change has brought about the
use of white for those in mourning.
It Is the expression of a changing at
titude Of the mind toward this mat
ter of, mourning apparel. White is
not somber or oppressive to others
and therefore will make the most In
cbtrusive mourning. For the past
three seasons black hats of Grape Tor
other fabrics trimmed with crape)
have been duplicated in white and 1t
is probable hat the idea has been
well received because the most u
thoritative shops continue to show
white mourning.
For the summer season wells are
made of net bordered with Grape.
Those for first mourning are large
but cool and light, nevertheless. The
very large, coarse mesh with wide
Grape border, either in black or white,
can be worn without any incon-
venience. 1t is probable that white
Grape and other mourning fabrics in
white will make rapid progress in
popular favor now that they are well
