ribbon twisted round and round them.
For suspending this little article

there are two small loops of ribbon

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS
BY MRS. JOHN FIELD.

SssNSs SSttiN TI6IDs
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 well-drained 10
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
are ready to plant them. Do not
leave them exposed to the light OF
air, as this will cause loss Of moisture
and weaken vitality.
The scales of lily bulbs often be.
come soft and fabby 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, COO
place until ready to plant.
Many plants will grow we'll in an
ordinary window in winter, but the
number that will soften freely under
such conditions are few and need
special preparation. Many failures
are due to an unwise selection OIL
kinds, as well as to the extremes Of
heat to which the ordinary room is
subjected.
September is a good time to root

THE HOUSE PLANTS
Rx q. B. poRNER.

In the potting Of house plants you
can mix the proper soil yourself If
you know the needs of the different
plants. Take some old blue grass sod
and pile it up until it rots, and you
will have the ideal form Of decayed
vegetable matter for the principal
constituent of all kinds Of soil for
ported plants. There are three kinds
of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rieties Of blooming plants Three
parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part we'll rotted manure and one part
sand if the soil is heavy.
For ferns, begonias and such foil
age plants.-Two parts loan. one part
leaf mold or peat, and one-half part
sand If soil is heavy.
For palms or roses.-Two parts
clay loan and one part we'll rotted
manure, and sand to suit the texture
condition.
Use the finger test to learn II the
plants need water; when the soil
crumbles easily until dry it needs wa
ter; when it cakes readily there is too
much water; SO do not give the plants
a little each day, but only water when
needed. Never use a nozzle on the
end of hose in watering as it causes
the stream to pack the soil and injure
the foliage.

LATEST IN COIFFUREs
DEGREES CHANGE IN PARTING
OF THE HAIR.
Calls for Considerable Skill in Ar
ransement-open Psyche Knot Is
General-Tresses Must Be
Neat in the Back.

A fashion that has been shelved is
the parting of the hair in front or at
the side, although there is a definite
line of carrying the hair from left to
right, or right to left That is the diff
ference between the couture of 1880
and today. Sleek as the hair is, it
goes across the head sideways, espe-
up into a French twist that has all
been pinned fiat and Strengthened out,
SO that there will be no bulge in
the smooth line of the head.
There is no fashion against the out
lining of this flat French twist by a
long ornamental comb, but that is
only possible in the evening, and
many fashionable women prefer TO
do without it.
There is great skill in the way the
hair is brushed across the head and
twisted into fairness and it is this
style of couture which is the most
difficult for a woman to arrange her.
self. It is better done when the hair
is slightly marcelled, to give it body.
This is not possible if woman has
heavy long hair, which so many Amer
leans possess. If she waves it, she
also thickens it and is compelled to
work out something original with the
long ends.
= AS she must dispose of these left
overs in some fashion, the law al
lows her to roll them into an open
Psyche knot on top of the head. In
the evening she can catch this knot
down with two small ornamental
pins, preferably of jet, and in the day
time the small turban will fit neatly
over the knot.
! The one law that must not be
broken in the couture of the day is
the straight, clean line upward from
the nape of the neck to the lower
edge of the crown. Short hairs are
apt to make this line broken and

To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally and you will have
the blooms in the room as well. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the ferns
in a shady corner; north window is q
good place.
Use as dry material only we'll rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done, take an ordinary
barrel containing one-half bushel Of
fresh COW dung and if extra strength
be required add couple of quarts of
fresh hen manure and cover with wa
ter.
After it has been fermented thor
oughly the coarse material will all set
tie to the bottom and you may fill the
barrel with water and the solution is
ready to be applied to your plants.
An application every two weeks is
generally all that is required for most
plants.
For this process sand is generally
used, or very light soil, as most favor
able for the formation Of new roots.
The geranium is perhaps the easiest
to begin with and a good healthy top
should be selected where wood has
formed. Take sharp knife and cut
below the joint.
Foliage plants are very easily prop
agated, and every woman can do her
own work of this nature with great
satisfaction

late as September of the new half

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
disastrous effects of early, cold rain
storms and rough spring winds.

MUST WORK OR GO TO SCHOOL
Supt. r. l.. Keller Determined to See
Law IL Enforced

Fred L. Keller, state superintendent
of public instruction, says children un-
der Is years old will have TO attend
school hereafter, even II they have
completed the eighth grade. More than
that, the state superintendent declares
the present law will have to be en-
forced.
An ACT, No. 235. passed by the last
legislature, which provides that no
labor permit shall be granted to any
child under Is years old except during
established vacation periods, permits
children IA years old or over to work
in preserving perishable goods In
fruit or vegetable canning establish
ments
Now the state has an act in force
known as the truant law, which says
| that all children shall attend school
who are under Is years old, until such
time as they have completed the
eighth grade, when the law permits
them to quit school providing they are
employed.
Mr.. Keller says there are many chill
dren In the state who complete the
eighth grade before they are Is years
old. and who have not been compelled
to attend school further.
The new law says they cannot be
employed and IT is up to the children
to keep on going to school until they
are 15 years old

OF the finest school buildings In the
world up in this country. They are

MUST USE DINNERS

Most drivers OF automobiles don't
seem to be needing the new law
which went into effect recently re-
garding the dimming OF lights when
passing another car.
Some drivers are familiar with this
law and are making a conscientious
effort TO observe II. Others either do
not know OF It. or believe II was put
on the statute books for purely dec
orative purposes, for they make no
effort TO meet its requirements. The
law is an excellent one and its gem
eral observance will do much to IN
crease the safety OF the road at night.
Failure TO observe II is as likely 70
bring a visit to the police court as
excessive speeding. for II is as Inn
portant part OF the traffic regula-
tons as the section providing max
imum speeds, and due penalties are
provided for its violation. Some driv-
ers complain that persons who use
the dinners on their lamps do not re-
duce the volume OF light until they
are so close TO the oncoming car that
the precaution is without value. To
be an effective aid to safety on the
road the DINNERS should he used
