CONSIDER THE PHLOX
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Even moralists tell us that there is
an element in all mankind that leads
to the enjoyment of speculation and
chance. For the qualification Of this
instinct do not know any more In
teresting study than the phlox when
one resorts to seeds for the growth of
plants. OF course, the staid, regular
garden worker will resort to cuttings,
because no one can guess, even ap-
proximately, what will come from the
seed venture.
But there is lot Of fun in taking
the seeds and watching the results.
They may be anything, from a perverse
and wayward floral child to the light
Of the garden when it is left to first
principles for its start in life.
The phlox Drummondi is the first
parent of the family. 1t was found
growing wild in Texas back in 1884,
and since that time it has grown in
popularity. Essentially a garden flow.
er, it fully justifies the use of the
Greek name because it is literally o
flame of light. There is no question
but that it is far better for having
been planted in the fall. At the first
hint of spring it will start its growth,
and the hard treatment of a rough win.
ter will not serve to deter it in its de-
termination to help brighten the world
The one thing that phlox will not
stand is heavy clay soil. Planted
along walls and hedges, with borders
and in places where the irregular size
of the plants affords contrast in color,
there is nothing more calculated to add
life to the garden vista than the simple
phlox.

LEAD PENCIL IS HIT BY WAR
Conflict Cuts Off Supply of Fire-cIay,
But Results in Development of
Domestic Deposits.

Even the lowly lead pencil has felt
the evil effects of the European war,
Uncle Sam reports that the war has
caused a shortage in high-grade fire
clay formerly imported from Germany
which has seriously affected the manu-
facture of crucibles and lead pencils
in this country. Efforts have been sue
rsssful, however, in locating a domes-
tic supply of clays suitable for use in
these industries in Arkansas, Illinois,
Missouri and Ohio.
Clay mining in 1915 was more pros
porous, especially during the latter
part of the year, than in 1914, the
quantity of clay marketed being 2,362,-
954 short tons, valued at $3,971, ,941, an
Increase of 153,094 tons in quantity
and $215,373 in value over 1914. Fire
clay is the most important variety of
clay, 1,570,4S1 tons being reported for
1915, valued at $2,361 ,4S2, an increase
of 161, OLA tons and s214,205 over 1914.
There were 2S,O31 tons of domestic
kaolin, the purest form of clay, mar
keted in 1915, valued at $241, 500, a
small decrease from 1914.
The imports of clay decreased con-
siderably in quantity and value and
were the smallest in quantity since
1908 and the lowest in value since
1905.

BUILT FIRST STONE BOATS
United States, Not Norway, Entitled to
Credit, Says Uncle Sans Bureau
of Navigation.

Uncle Sam says that the United
States, and not Norway, as has been
claimed in press dispatches, put into
operation the first stone vessels ever
built. The boat built in Norway re-
sembles a barge with the ribs Of steel
and the hull of concrete.
The bureau of navigation, depart
ment of commerce, says that the scows
A. S. & G. Company No. 33 and No. GO
were built of concrete at Fairfield,
Nd, in 1912 and 1913, respectively, by
the Arundel Sand and Gravel company
of Baltimore, Md. These vessels meas
ure approximately 112 feet in length
and % feet in beam, and 1t is believed
they are the first vessels ever built of
concrete. The No. SO was abandoned
as unfit for service in the early part of
the current year and the No. 3S is still
In commission

SIX OR MORE SMOKESTACKS
FOR NEW BATTLE CRUISERS
Uncle Sans Fleet of Warships Will
Have the Appearance of Blast
Furnaces Gone to Sea.

Uncle Sans new battle cruisers,
four of which have been authorized to
be laid down next year, will look like
blast furnaces gone to sea. Each will
be equipped with six or more smoke
stacks, according to plans now being
completed by the navy department.
Some American cruisers carry four
stacks, and some of European con-
struction have five. With exception of
few small destroyers, no vessel in
operation has six.
The battle cruisers will be electric
driven and oil burning. The builders
will be required to produce vessels
that will give off no smoke when it ia
desired to conceal their movements.
They will also be equipped so as to
pour out heavy banks of black smoke
as screen to conceal the operations
of vessels behind them.
To make the 35-knot speed required,
1t has been necessary to provide the
ships with between 10000 and 100000
horse power, generated by steam tur.
bines, which, in turn, drive the elec.
trio generators. Navy experts are con-
fident they will make 30 knots with
full equipment aboard, and, stripped,
will run 3S knots, or more than ~
miles an hour.
European navies try out their swift
boats for speed without armament and
with only a small portion of their fuel
cargo aboard. American navy craft.
however, must make the required
speed with full fighting equipment and
at least two-thirds of full fuel capacity

DEAL SWAPS ELECTION
Order Filled in America Decides
Spanish Campaign.
Uncle Sam, In His Role of Drummer,
Incidentally Aids Madrid Govern
ment in Winning Fight.

Uncle Sam, in his capacity as the
great American drummer, played an
important, If inconspicuous part, in
general elections recently held in
Spain. This is one of the interesting
facts brought. out by study of the ac-
tivities of Uncle Sam in the promo
ton of foreign trade for American
business men.
The present liberal government of
Spain was successful in the recent
election, partly because 1t was able
to import enough copper sulphate,
commonly known as blue vitriol, to
save the vineyards from destruction
by mildew. Wine is one of the i'm
portant Spanish products, and when
mildew made it's appearance this
spring a vigorous appeal for help was
made to the government and a prom
Use was given to save the crop. Cop
per sulphate is the best cure for this
disease of the vine, but owing to war
conditions in the industrial countries
of Europe, and the lack of shipping
facilities, 1t was no easy matter to
place q contract with any certainty of
it's being fulfilled in time to save the
wine crop. The American commerce
attache at Paris learned of the situa-
tion and persuaded the Spanish gov
ernment to place an order for $500, 900
worth of the chemical in this country.
The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce took an active interest in
seeing that this order was filed in
time. For period the matter as
sumed political Importance in Spain.
and failure to carry out its promises
would have weighed heavily against
the government at the polls.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-10-14
CARE OF THE HoLLYH0cK

Keep the hollyhock flowers picked
off. Remove them as soon as they
begin to die. This serves two pur
poses: it makes the plant more at
tractive and it prevents seed from
forming. If you have noticed, there
are almost always little branches
starting about the base of the ole
plants. If seed is not allowed to de
velop, the energy of the plant will bs
expended on these, and they will beai
a good crop of flowers late in the sea
son. But If the plant perfects seet
they never amount to anything. Set
to it that they are encouraged tt
make themselves useful.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-10-14
HAVE TROUBLE BUYING TIRES
Norwegians Cannot Get Sufficient
Quantity to Equip Automobiles
They Are Buying in America.

Uncle Sans consul general at
Christiania reports that Norwegian au.
tomobilists have been having their trou.
bles in obtaining rubber tires which,
under an arrangement with the Brit.
ish authorities, are imported into Nor
way through London and consigned
only to the Royal Automobile club,
Christiania. The club distributes the
tires to the dealers, who are obliged
to give guarantees that they are to be
used only in Norway.
Practically all the automobiles i'm.
ported are now of American make and
must be shipped without rubber tires.
There Is a great dearth of tires in the
market, but it is thought that the
shortage will be only temporary. The
greatly increased demand for auto.
mobiles on account of the present
Norwegian prosperity has made ii
hard to obtain enough rubber tires to
supply the requirements of the trade.
The automobile club succeeded in
obtaining permission to import 5000
automobile tires, 1890 motor tubes,
and 800 motorcycle tires during tho
current year. At that time the guam.
tity was deemed sufficient for the
needs of the country. The prosperous
times, however, upset all calculations
While on January 1, 1916, there were
registered in Norway only 1920 au'
tomobiles, the number has now in
creased to 2,0S4, and it has become ap-
parent that the automobile supplies
for which licenses had been obtained
will not last through the year.

HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER
BY 1. M. BENNINGTON.

Among the most beautiful and salts
factory house plants for winter are
palms. They are very strong and
hardy, and with the observation of a
few simple rules can be kept green
and vigorous all winter. More palms
are killed by overheating than by cold.
They should have temperature of be-
tween 30 and go degrees. If it is not
convenient to have any room in the
house kept as cool at this, stand them
In the corner farthest from the ra-
1iator, as close as possible to the light,
but not in the glaring sun.
The worst enemy of the plants is
dust. Owing to its smooth leaves, the
this. It's leaves should be washed
with soft sponge and lukewarm wa
ter.
The watering of the plants is of
great interest. The great danger is
that the housewife will be too gener-
ous in this respect. 1t is difficult to
give a definite rule. Generally speak
Ing, the earth in the pot should be
kept moist, but not wet. If the room
Is kept at high temperature, the plant
will require more water than in a
cool place. But winter should be a
time of rest for the plant. 1t should
not do much growing, and therefore
nourishment and water should be given
sparingly. 1t is easy to soak the soil
of a plant, but hard to dry it, once
thoroughly wet.
Neither palm, or any other plant,
should ever be put in a glazed pot. If
an ornamental pot is desired, the earth
en- pot should be set inside. A porous
pot absorbs and evaporates the mois-
ture, while in glazed pot the earth
grows sour and unfit for even very
hardy plants. There should be hole
in the bottom of the pot, over which
a stone, bit of broken crockery or
something similar should be laid. This
will keep the earth from filling it up,
and the surplus water will trickle out
beneath. A few Jumps of common
charcoal at the bottom of the pot will
prevent the roots from rotting, and
powdered charcoal mixed with the
earth has the same effect, keeping the
bottom from turning sour.
Having temperature and moisture
right, the next enemy of the plant is
parasites, such as fungi and insects.
Many little insect pests infest the
palm. Some of these are destroyed by
washing the leaves with sponge and
soft brush. using clean water only.
Those that cannot be destroyed In
this way, such as scales, can be quick
1y dispatched by tobacco juice diluted
with water. Any tobacconist or cigar
manufacturer will give you all the
ribs of tobacco leaves you want. Put
a handful of these in quart of water
and boil Wash the leaves with this,
and If you put in little whale-oil
soap, it will be more effective. VI

Uncle Sam says that Honduras is be-
coming aroused to the great American
game and strong interest in baseball
has been developed in the Puerto Cor
tes district. Until this season the
game had only been played in
two small American colonies, but now
contests by native teams in San Pedro
Sula are well attended and the crowds
become as enthusiastic as in any big
league city in the United States. The
limited population, however, will pre-
vent the local leagues from reaching
large proportions.
