WHEN TO PLANT BULBS
BY MRS. JOHN FIELD.

Hardy bulbs should be planted as
early in the fall as possible.
Dealers will not begin sending out
bulbs much before the latter part
of September. Early orders get the
best bulbs.
The best soil for bulbs for the
house is rich loan mixed with sand.
If too heavy, add turfy matter to
tighten it.
Always choose a well-drained To-
cality for your bulb-seed; If not nat
urally SO, put at least six inches OF
broken crockery, pieces of brick, old
shoes, old bones, and the like in the
bottom of the bed.
Never take bulbs out of the package
the florist sends them in until you
arc ready to plant them. DO not
leave them exposed to the light or
air, as this will cause loss of moisture
and weaken vitality.
The scales of lily bulbs often be-
come soft and flabby when exposed
to the air, because of the evaporation
of the sap, which is the life blood OF
the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened,
and hardly worth planting. Put all
bulbs in the cellar or in dark, cool
place until ready to plant.
Many plants will grow we'll in an
ordinary window in winter, but the
number that viii soften freely under
such conditions are few and need
special preparation. Many failures
are due to an unwise selection Of
kinds, as we'll as to the extremes OF
heat to which the ordinary room is
subjected.
September is a good time to root
cuttings taken from soft wood plants,
but the "bloomers'' for the house
should have been slipped and rooted
last May or June. Cuttings taken as
late as September Of the new half
ripened wood of many ANNALS and
perennials will make nice house plants
and some of these should bear flowers
If we'll cared for.
Hardy bulbs may be planted among
shrubbery, and these will give bloom
at time when the branches of the
shrubbery are bare of foliage, lighting
up the grounds wonderfully. The
shrubbery will in turn serve to pro-
tect the bulb flowers and foliage from

When coat collars are high they

More material and simple lines will

Both wide and narrow girdles are

MEAL ON SEWING DAY
PALATARLE MENU WHEN TIME
.t. a Is OF VALUE.
Luncheon May Be Simple, Vet With
Proper Preparation a. Appetlz'ns
and Nutritious a. the Occa.
Il sion Calls For.

For q sewing-day luncheon this
makes a palatable menu: Asparagus
on toast, hot tea biscuit, marmalade
and tea. -" f#
Use canned asparagus tips. Drench
them with cold water the moment the
can is opened; drain thoroughly in
colander and warm In double boil
er; put in little butter during the
warming and season to taste. Make
a hard toast Of white bread, butter
the slices and put the asparagus on
top; set the dish on a far part OF
the stove to keep warm while the
other things are arranged. Get the
bakers tea biscuit of the evening be-
fore and rewarm them in the oven,
first brushing over the tops with a
little milk. There Is an American
marmalade-orange, Of course-that
sells at II cents jar. 1t is delicious.
Menu: Stewed kidneys and rice,
raw tomatoes and chocolate cellars
and coffee.
The main dish can be warmed UP to
advantage, so it can be made the
day before. Ask the butcher for q
fresh veal kidney or six or eight
fresh lamb kidneys. Skin them and
soak in ice water and salt for ten
minutes. Cut them in half-inch
pieces, or smaller If liked, and put
them in III cupfuls! Of water
to stew. If the kidneys are not from
well-nourished animal less water
will be required, as this absorbs the
substance. Cook two slices Of onion
with them and the salt and pepper,
letting them get perfectly tender yet
not mushy. Cook cupful of rice IN
a quart of water and when half done
drain in through colander, put 1t In
a saucepan, set it on the back OF the
stove, and let it steam half an hour
more. On the sewing day rewarm
the kidneys in a little butter, and
steam the rice until the grains are
separated; serve them on the same
dish. The cellars cost three cents
apiece.
Menu: Baked beans. Boston brown
bread and cocoa.
The canned beans prepared with
sugar and tomatoes are fine for this
luncheon, while the little five and ten
cent cones of brown bread sold by
the baker can be made to take the
place of the homemade article.
Put the closed bean can In one
double boiler and the bread In an
other and let them both get steam
ing hot. Serve on piping-hot plates
and, II possible, provide sweet butter
for the bread. For single person
this lunch, which is the most sub
stantial that can be had, will cost
just IL cents-five for beans, five for
bread and two for cocoa.
Menu: Fresh strawberries and
cream, homemade bread, sweet but
ter and glass of milk thinned with
vichy.
II the Strawberries are free of sand
do not wash them, as this dims the
exquisite taste. Hull them and serve
them on a plate with a cone-shaped
mound of powdered sugar beside
each serving. Have the cream sepa-
rate, as these delicate berries soon
sour after it is put on. The baker
sells homemade bread, and yester-
days loaf is more palatable than to-
days. 1t is also cheaper. The object
of the vichy in the rich milk Is to
make it more digestible while i'm
proving the taste.

Put dots of either mayonnaise or a
thick boiled dressing on the cabbage,
but do not mix 1t in. Pass more dress
ing when the salad is served.

FILTERS CRASH ON MOUNTAIN.
Fast Mail and Blue Mountain Express
Come Together.

Thurmont. Md.-Six persons, four of
them Baltimoreans, were killed and
dozen more or less seriously injured,
when the Blue Mountain Express and
the Fast Mail of the Western Mary
land Railway crashed together on
bridge, 100 feet high, over Owens
creek, few miles west of here.
The Blue Mountain Express, west
bound, known on the railway schedule
as train No. IL. was late. If on seized
ule, it would have passed the Fast
Mail. No. 10, eastbound, not far from
the point at which the wreck occurred.
The change in the schedule, in the
course OF which mixup in the orders
given the conductors of the two trains
is said to have occurred, resulted in
bringing the two trains together, both
running at high speed on the bridge,
which spans mountain ravine,
through which the creek, shallow
stream, runs over a rocky bed.

THE BRITISH NOTE
EVADEs THE ISSUE
Declares Americans Have No
Substantial Grievance.
THE NOTE UNSATISFACTORY
Note Sent Through Ambassador Page
States That Time Limit On Ex-
ports To This County Has
Been Further Extended.

Washington.-Lord Crewe's memo
randum to Ambassador Page dealing
with the complaint of detention Of
American cargoes bound for neutral
ports was made public by the State
Department.
State Department officials would not
comment on the memorandum. In the
opinion Of experts on international
law who have followed the con-
troversy between the two govern
ments, the memorandum is not of a
character to afford much satisfaction.
1t holds out little expectation of ma
terial relief to American commerce
from the hardships inflicted upon it
by British regulations established in
violation OF the principles of interna-
tional law, as pointed out by the
United States in its note of March 80.
Consequently it's effect, 1t is believed,
will be rather to sharpen the edge of
the issue between the two govern
ments.
Another note to Great Britain is
now in course of preparation at the
State Department and is expected to
be dispatched as soon as the negotia-
tons with Germany over submarine
warfare have been cleared up While
this communication probably will
make reference to the latest memo
randum, it is understood that the man
ner of enforcing the Order in Council
will not be treated as relevant to the
question at issue-whether there Is
any warrant in international law for
the powers that Great Britain and her
allies have assumed to exercise over
the commerce of the world.
Protest To Be Strong.
Against this arbitrary policy of the
British government the American note
will protest as vigorously as was the
note to Germany demanding an end OF
the murder of Americans on the high
seas President Wilson will be
equally firm demanding an end to the
present throttling of American com.
merce, and it is believed here that
there is nothing in the British note
just made public which will produce
any change in the present tenor of
President Wilson's next note to Eng
land
