.BRITONS DEMAND PUNISHMENT OF
 BOMB THR0vVE FRS

London, June 12-Expressions of aIi- ger at the vandalism Of the militant suffragettes were more vehement than ever today among the general public, reused by the details of yesterdays attempt to blow up the historic cor onation stone and chair in Westnin- .ster Abbey. Demands for the drastic punishment of the women engaged in this campaign of destruction were heard on every side The leniency of the government in releasing the wo- men criminals after few days de- tention in jail was generally con- demned.
 The hope was widely expressed that Justice McKennass suggestion of the prosecution Of the subscribers to the funds of the militant suffragette or ganization would stop to large ex- tent the flow of income to the coffers of the women. It Is Known that much Of the money handed 1over by the largest subscribers is sent with the earmark -'education." Mrs Emmeline FaRnizhurst being left to decide what that means. It is believed however that those clauses in the gifts will not prevent tho law from prosecution.
 A closer examination today Of the coronation chair in Edward, the Con- fessor's chapel in Westnaineter Abbey. showed that the damage was very small and easily repaired The cor onat1on stone was not injured at all.

CLIMBING ROSES
 BEAUTIEvY GROUNDS AND SCREEN TORCHES

Washington June 12.-Chrnbinx roses are a valuable aid to the man who is interested in having his home in attractive surroundings. With a fine lawn, artistfcally massed shrub ibery, and a wealth Of vines chamber ing over the porch and roof, h1any a plain and unpretentious house has been transformed into a most attract i've dwelling place The U. s. De- partment of Agriculture has a rose garden on it's grounds and many ex- periments have been made in the treatment of the various kinds to se- cure the best results.
 After the EOIooming season of climb ing roses is over in June, the depart ment's landscape gardener advises that shoots should be pruned so as to throw the growth Of the plant into the new wood that bore no flowers this year, for this is the part of the plant that will bear next year. When a trel- lis Is low (6, or feet high it is a good plan to cut off the shoots that have borne flowers .tIis year clear to the ground.
 Most people in following this ad- dvice may feel that they are ruining. their bushes to cut them back so se- yere1y, but the young shoots that have started about the roots will sur prise them by springing up with won derful rapidity. Each bush will prob ably put forth several enew shoots that will grow as long as those cut or one shoot will grow much longer. In either case the trel1is will soon be cov- cred again. One shoot in a Wash ington garden last year grew 90 feet after the bush had been cut down in this manner.
 Tn the case of a high trellis a diff ferent method must be followed. The renewal of wood must begin from a point higher up instead of from the root as the growth of bush is not enough to replace all it's top on a high treIlis if required to grow so far. Only so much of the old wood should be removed after the overs have bloom ed as will enable the new shoots from the end of the remaining portion of the stalk to replace the old growth. About four feet is a safe measure of the amount that may be taken off.
 Those who have grown climbing roses as a screen on their porches, in order to insure fine bloom the com ing year, will do well to follow the advice as given for the higher trel-- lis. In other words. about four feet of the old stalks that have bIoomed' should be cut off immediately after the blossoms are withered. The fol- iage will recover within a very short period and continue to screen the porch, and next year abundant crop of blossoms will be assured.

 So far as is known. the 17-year To- cust never did anybody any harm. It commits no such ravages and devas- tation as distinguish the locusts prop erly so called, whose swarms work such havoc on vegetation in the near Easst. Upon his reappearance this year the cicada is proving an actual boon to turkey raisers, whose birds were never so fat and luscious as they are at this season, thanks to the abundant supply of the insects which turkeys and chtckeps alike are devour- ing by the millions. Fishermen along the Ohio, Kanawha and Big Sandy riv- CTS also welcome the visitation-they report that nothing makes better bait than these fat and juicy Ieg-scrapers.
