NEW HYBRID CARNATIONS
Rv l. NJ. BENNINGTON.

Thanks to the skill of the hybridist,
we now have races of lovely. fragrant,
ever-blooming carnations, dwarf and
bushy in growth, that show buds and
flowers in four or five months AFTER
the seeds are sown.
The flowers, too, are not only borne
in abundance, but are of all the lead
ing shades of color, from white
through shades of pink to dark GRIM
son, and from cream to bright yellow,
as well as striped and blotched.
These new carnations are as easily
grown as Japan pinks. The seedu may
be sown in a box in the window dur
ing March or April, and the plants set
out where they are to bloom when the
weather becomes warm and settled.
Give them a sunny bed, and if you
wish fine show of flowers from each
plant. pinch off the first stem that
pushes up to bloom. This wis cause
the plant to stool out. and develop sew
eFal stalks, each of which will bear
a cluster of buds and flowers.
A rich, rather tenacious soil suits
the plants, and they should stand eight
inches apart in the row or bed
For winter blooming SOW the seeds
in May or June and grow in pots shift

DEMAND is FOR SERVICE
Public Ideas Have Had a Significant
Change in Comparatively
Few Years.

When the French aristocrat before
the great revolution was asked as to
his chief service to society, he replied,
ITO have been born" He felt that his
mere presence in the world conferred
an honor on his country.
That has been the attitude of privi-
legged classes Of all time. But new
ideal has come into mems minds-the
ideal of labor, of service to the COM
munity. Today the public is constant
ly asking men to justify their income.
What have you done to deserve it?" is
the question. by what service to so.
ciety have you earned your money"
1t used to be considered perfectly
proper to water the stock of great pub
lie service corporations. But now peo-
pie have come to see this means to
get an income without working for 1t,
and public sentiment is shutting on
the practice.
Melon cutting in connection with
franchise grabs was once popular. But
1t became apparent that this was mere
ly one way of getting something for
nothing, and the day of melon cutting
Is done.
So all up and down the line the de-
mand has come for service in return
for income. Society is willing to write
It's note for pretty nearly any amount
to the energetic man, but it insists that
the payment shall be for value re
ceiVed.

the best, but the only plan whereby
the poultry house could be properly
ventilated In winter.
The scientific principles of this lit

Old-fashioned poultry houses were
built for the convenience Of the atten-
dant. Modern poultrymen have an
idea that poultry house should be
built to accommodate the fowls and as
they are not especially high headed,
low ceiling will keep them warm
and work out better In practice than
when the building is constructed with
more headroom. Poultry do not need
a great amount of cubic air space but
they do need frequent change OF air.
It was in New York state that the
lime floor was tried out, and is still

BUSY DAYS COMING
Period of Stress Ahead of the
American Worker.
Labor Day an Excellent Time to
Think Of the Future That Must
Be the Result of the War
in Europe.

Every American, whether he works
with his hands or with his head Will
take full advantage of Labor day the
last OF the summer holidays; every
one will appreciate the fact that there
is long period of work ahead of him.
This fall and winter is sure to be
a time of readjustment in many lines
of American commerce and labor, due
to the European war, which not only
shuts off some of the things we buy,
but is filling our warehouses with
many of the things we sell. How to
manage without the particular things
we have always imported and how to
get market for the things Europe
cannot buy must engage our serious
attention for months, perhaps for
years. There may be some failures in
the effort to reediust. but there vii!
be more successes, and great ones.
The best thing about the whole sit
uation is the stout heart of the bust

It is customary to provide from
three to five square feet of floor area

feet of floor surface in each room,

Woman's Part In War.

In Germany where sobbing on the
street is forbidden by law, women still
sob for their loved ones who have died
at the front, and where the wearing Of
mourning is also the subject of regula-
ton women wear a badge of sorrow
upon their hearts"
These were among features brought
out in relief in the picture of condi-
tions in Berlin painted in New York
by Miss Evelyn Newman, delegate to
the recent peace conference at The
Hague.
Miss Newman visited Berlin at the
rlose of The Hague conference. She
said that often soldiers could be seen
marching through the streets in their
bright uniforms but 1t was the women
who were seen everywhere

RADICAL CHANGES IN CHINA

Through Historic Wall.

The great wall which has surround.

side has two gates except the front.

days after il had been thrown open

the town was looted. The cause OF
the calamity was laid to the credit of
the newly opened gate, whereupon 1t
was Immediately closed and has never

Since the republic has been well
established a number of changes in
the minor inner walls have taken
place. notably two new gates having
been broken In one of these inner
walls; and as no calamity has be
fallen the city, the government Is now
making bold efforts to relieve the
congestion at the Chien-men by break
ing two now gates through the great
wall
The wall is forty or fifty feet high
and forty or fifty feet thick. The
work is a difficult task because the
excellent mixture of cement OF former
days has fastened the bricks like
stone together with remarkable firm
ness. It is expected that the sections
of another smaller wall will be found
within this large wall. the smaller one
probably being that which Marco Polo
described in the account of his visit
to the famous capital OF Kublai Khan.

creusot. the Krupps Of France,


The celebrated works of the Creu-
sot, similar to Krupps, Germany, were
originally organized for engineering
purposes by William Wilkinson, an
Englishman, in the year 1886. The
works then belonged to a company.
In which Louis XVI had an interest.
and were known as the Royal foun-
dry. During the revolution the Creu-
sot works were nationalized by the
government, and during the empire
Napoleon kept them running for guns
and ammunition for the army. After
1915 armaments no longer paid at the
Creusot and it became bankrupt. A
new company, assisted partly by Eng
lish capital, was formed and main
tanned the works until the present pro-
prietors, who have name more Teu-

who control the Creusot, and, like
Krupps, they have established several

the production of ornaments and en-
gineering machinery.

care much about the outside OF the

inside occupied his attention until he
got a practical house that gave uni
yersal satisfaction.
Along with the shed roof design and
scratching shed practice came the So
called curtain front. The size of the
curtain front area must be regulated
to suit the climate. Usually the front

Mailer household of Darby, has DEM
onstrated to the family that, while she
can speak no English and doesn't know
one Darby street from another, she can
think herself out of any difficulty once
she gets lost
One evening Wanda was instructed
to take the family's proudest posses
sion, Minnie, a 15-pound incubator
baby, out for an airing.
Wanda was so intent on looking aft
er the baby's personal interests that
she got lost.
AS night fell she decided she sim
ply must get home, so she set her
mind TO work on the problem. At last

she followed him she would get back
