Now Is Time For
 Planting Bulbs

Washington, D. C., Nov. 10-The first frost should be the signal. say specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, for the planting Of bulbs of the tulip, hyacinth, and mar cissus, which are to furnish the nrst touch of color for the outdoor garden In the spring. The bulbs may be put in even before the appearance or the first frost, but better not until af- ter.
 Tulips and hyacinths should be plac- ed in beds in light, rich soil that has been dug to a depth of at least lo inches. They should be set four 1n- ches deep and five inches apart. IT the narcissus and its variants-jon- quils and daffodils-are to be planted in beds, the soil should be prepared similarly and the bulbs should be set 10 inches apart and five inches deep.
 A pleasing variation from planting tn en1arcissus type of <early spring blooming bulbs formally in beds is to plant them in scattered groups on the open lawn or in the edge or shrubbery A good plan in arrang- ing for the location of the flowers on the lawn is to broadcast the bulbs and plant them where they fall. small hole five or six inches deep should be made and the bulb inserted, pointed end up. The hole should ! ethen~b be pressed full of soal Often

 The little grand duchy of Luxem- burg is also within pr. Van Dykes diplomatic field of operations. On his last visit to that tiny country a few months ago he reported that "re- lentless economic pressure is driving Luxemburg into the arms of Germany, despite the fact that seyen-eighths of the population are the other way in their sympathies. The American Min ister also said he noted @ striking change in the German troops since his last visit to Luxemburg. The Teuton soldiers, who formerly sang as they marched through the streets, had become silent and subdued.
 Dr. Van Dyke returned to Amer ica early this year to report in per- son on several matters to the Wash ington officials On that occasion it was stated that he was convinced that peace was still afar off, and that he told the President that any move in that direction by the United States would be premature.
 pr. Van Dyke presides over a lega- ton which has been since the out break of war a sort of clearing house for information, and perhaps no oth- CT man occupies a position which en- ables him to judge so accurately of the sentiment existing among both the Allies and the Germans.
 Dr. Van Dyke is an A. B., A. M., D. b. and IL. D. He graduated from Princeton and Princeton Theological Seminary. and also studied at the

THE POET-DIPLOMAT

pr. Henry Van Dyke, United States minister to Holland, poet, author, educator and clergyman, was born
 sixty-four years ago, today in Ger mantown, Pa.
