 My What a lovely job of kalsomin- ing!" exclaimed the friend. Why, there isn't a speck of calsomine on the fur niture or the floor. How did you man. age it?"
 "Why, that was easy,' replied Mrs. Homebody. q hired two men and told them I wanted them to ca1somine the furniture and the floor. That's why they got it all on the ceiling and the walls"

and fine spraying nozzle, until the seed germinates.
 If you use good, clean stable manure, and good, fresh, cleaned Bermuda seed, you will not run the risk of getting nut grass and other obnoxious grasses and weeds into the lawn.
 Bermuda grass is undoubtedly the best permanent grass yet tested for southern lawns, inasmuch as it seems to be the only variety that will withstand our long, not, dry summer, when exposed to the sum- Of course, 1t turns brown in the winter, and does not present an attractive appearance unless it ys sown over with. one of the winter grasses such as the ryes or bluegrass mixtures. but it makes very soft and beautifully green lawn for the summer.
 Established Lawn If your lawn is already established now is the time to weed 1t and give it a good top dressing and renew the fertility of the soil so that the grass may flourish and make a soft, velvety turf. The best top dressing is probably rich fine loamy soil, fertilized with bone meal at the rate of 400 to 500 pounds to the acre, and spread on the lawn to a depth of an inch, then rolled. This will make a wonderful i'm provement in the lawn Do not use street sweepngs, as by the time you have raked out all the broken bottles and other debris there Is hardly anything left but seeds of noxious weeds and grasses that will keep you continually digging to rid your lawn of their undesirable presence. If you find nut grass showing up in the lawn you cannot use too drastic measure to get rid of it-it takes a mattock and spade, as roots are often found to a depth of three feet It propagates by adventive rootlets seeds and tubers, so it pays to nip it in the bud.

States to Huerta and to me, your good offices, inviting me to appoint dele gates who would represent the general headquarters of the constitutionalist army, which is under my orders
 answered you that in principle I would accept your good offices and later in separate message I asked the points which would be dealt with in the peace conference. Awaiting an answer to that dispatch I have not named dele gates.
 Expresses Surprise
 T am surprised that you have con tinued to treat for a solution of the conflict between the United States and Mexico without representations from the constitutionalist army, which is under my orders and represents the largest armed force of the republic
 For this reason state to you that believe the conflict between the Uni ted States and Mexico ought not to be solved in future conferences unless in these conferences there is representa- the general headquarters of the con- stitutionalist army"
 The note Urquidi delivered reiterates General Carranza's previous position that he always has been willing to send representatives to discuss international questions.
 It was suggested in some quarters to- night that final agreement might not be approved by the United States until the constitutionalists were brought within the scope of the. mediation pro- gramme
 As authority for this suggestion the acceptance by President Wilson of the invitation extended by the South Amer ican envoys was cited:
 The President said:
 This government hopes most earn estly that you may find those who speak for the several clements of the Mexi- can people willing and ready to discuss terms of settlement. If you should find them willing, this government will be glad to take up with you proposals that may be authoritatively formulated"
 The arrival of the Carranza emmis- sary was regarded with evident satis- faction by the American delegates They are understood to be anxious that ne- gotiations be reopened to admit Car ranza delegates to the mediation con ference.
 Progress on the agreement beween the United States and the Huerta gov ernment was slow today. ~

Now that warm weather has arrived you may have not great difficulty in ostab- li-s..ag a Bermuda grass lawn by the seed ing method. This preparation is far less expensive than by sprigging the roots or sodding.
 Seeding Best Now
 The difference in cost Is so greatly in favor of seeding that it is surprising this method is not more often used. The most important consideration in using Ber- muda seed Is to be sure that you secure fresh, unadulte-ated, imported seed. This may be deterrnined by testing a small quantity in seed testing saucer.
 In order to establish a good Bermuda grass lawn from seed you must prepare finely pulverized well enriched and smooth seed bed, by forlSing or spading the ground up to a depth of at least. F inches pulverizing the soil and smoothing with rakes then when this is done the seed may be sown at the rate of eight to 10 pounds to the acre. The seed of Ber- muda grass (Cynodon dactylon or Cap rfola dactylon) is so fine that in order to secure an even sowing 1t may be mixed with slightly moistened sand which will carry it to the ground quickly and pre- vent it's being blown about by the breeze After sowing the lawn should be rolled with a light roller to press the seed into the soil bed and slightly compact the sur face in order to draw moisture up to the seed by capilaiity.
 Keep It Wet
 If possible the sowing should be done just before an impending rain, or the lawn watered regularly by means of a hose

 the view that the constitutionalist chief
 should not be ignored.
 | While the cabinet was in session, word came from Niagara Falls that there was some doubt whether Juan Urquidi, agent
 of Carranza, who went from Washington
 with the message, would be received.
 Later it was learned the administration had directed the American representa- tives at the peace conference to urge that Carranza's message be accepted. Rebels May Participate When word came late today that the
 mediators had agreed to receive Car
 ranzas communication, government of ficials expressed the opinion that this
 would lead ultimately to constitutionalist
 participation fin the mediation proceed ings. On just what terms the constitu- tionalists might be received administra-
 ton leaders remained silent.
 Representatives of Carranza here an- nounced that the nature of the communi-
 cation would not be made public until the mediators had passed on its contents
 Secretary Bryan, informed of the medi- ators' decision, conferred with c. A. Doug las, an attorney representing Carranza and, John Lind. Douglas and Lind have been negotiating with Carranza's represen- tatives and the Secretary of State for ! several days, and the sending of Urquidi to Niagara Falls was result of these de- libera tions, it was said. I Secretary Bryan. today said the navy department was seeking to get more in 1 formation concerning the reported landing l of arms by the German steamers Ypi-
 ranga and Bavaria, and the secretary also l discussed with the Japanese ambassador
 unofficial reports that Japanese vessels I had delivered arms at Mexican west coast 1 ports
 l With relation to the German shipments it developed that the United States may be called on to pay compensation for delay in delivery of the Ylpiranga's cargo. Claims 1 for demurrage date back of the actual I seizure of Vera Cruz. The American gov l ernment is understood to have suggested Tits willingness to relieve the shippers of 1 financial loss through delay in delivery. l With relation. to the reported shipments landed on the west coast, the Japanese lambassador assured Secretary Bryan that
 he had no knowledge concerning them. 1 Diplomatic Problem Cleared 1 General Carranza's offer to settle with 1.-the Spanish owners of some 1000, ,00l worth of cotton confiscated at Torreon l and vicinity cleared difficult diplomatic l problem. To nine of the most consider
 able cotton raisers General Carranza of fered to release their cotton on payment of a war tax of $15 bale instead of
 the $30. for which he had been holding
 out. Other Spanish growers may obtain
 the release of their cotton on the same terms by demonstrating that they have
 taken a neutral stand during the revolu. cause.

MEANING OF EDUCATION.



Education is not a word confined rig
idly to specified occupations of man but
refers vaguely To more or less or human
activity in the production and prevention
of changes in oth.r human beings. In
the broadcast sense. man is an educator
in every act that changes any other man
Education is the production and pre-
yention Of changes Its facts are = Sc
lection from the changes that go on IN
the world Science or knowledge In re-
porting the ways of the world groups all
these ofjcnest according 10 tn" objects
which change. Thus In astronomy II re-
ports ia. nature and changes OF the stars
i'm chemistry. those Of III" atoms, ana in
biology. those Of plants and animals. The
objects whose changes We study under
education are living animals. ususa y
those of the human species.
The changes going on I'm any one OBJ
jcct are of many sorts. Thus a man is a
mass OF matter subject to laws Of gravI-
tatiun. electrical conduCtion and the Ike
80 that some of the changes in him arc
for physics to study; he ~ also a con-
cretion OF atoms OF nitrogen, Oxygen, hy-
drogen. carbon and the like. so that some
of the changes in him are for chemistry
to study other changes in men belong
under anatomy. st!ll others under physi-
ology still others are referred To the many
specialized sciences OF intellect and charac-
ter
Which OF the changes that go on IN
an animal shall be studied under the
heading education Is for science n
matter OF useful selection rather than
OF absolute necessary appropriateness
Thought can be logical, systematic and
fruitful, no matter where it draws the line
between educational and educational
