ODD METHODS EMPLOYED TO
OBTAIN BLOOMS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

To grow flowers successfully nova
days they must be cared for like nerv
Gus, delicate babies and trained with
the patience and attention needed to
produce a prima donna.
For modern methods of flower cul
ture closely resemble the treatment
melted out to fragile human beings.
Thousands of such plants may be
seen in the different parks of the big
cities whose greenhouses are regular
experiment stations.
The advice which some scientific
gardeners follow with regard to their
flowers is as follows:
The plant bulbs are wrapped in cot
ton wool When they begin to flower
they chloroform them. They are sur
rounded with ice one day and steam
the next, and occasional electric
shocks are administered.
One exhibitor of fuchsias recently
told how the modern scientific gar
dener attempts to improve on nature
and hasten the natural growth of
plants.
"A novel system has been adopted
by some horticulturists for making
fuchsias bloom quickly and Iuxuri.
antly.
when the plant is about to flower
it is placed in an inclosed space filled
with chloroform vapor. The immedi-
ate result is that the plant is retarded
or paralyzed in it's growth.
when the fuchsia is placed in the
fresh air again it is said to start grow
ing again with redoubled energy, and
flowers much quicker than it would dc
in the ordinary way.
Another method of stimulating
plants is by submitting them to high.
frequency electric currents
Growing flowers nowadays is even
more difficult than bringing up ba,
bies-that is, if one wants to produce
the finest possible blossoms.

Three Messages.

A S Robin approached the Ritz
~ tall young man emerged from
~ the entrance, stared at him
for an instant and then swung
off at rapid pace in the direction of
the Rue de la Paix. He was the good
looking young fellow who had met
her at the steamship landing. and it
was quite obvious that he had been
making Investigations on his own ac-
count.
Robin permitted himself a sly grin
as he sauntered into the hotel. He
had given that fellow something to
worry about, if he had accomplished
nothing else. Then he found himself
wondering if by any chance it could
be the Scovillc fellow. That would be
a facer!
He found Quinnox and Dank await
ing him in the lobby. They were Wis

"Did you observe the fellow who

I think we've got some interesting
news concerning that very chap"
added the count. glancing around un-
easily.
"Perhaps l may be able to antici-
pate it, count" ventured Robin. Tve
an idea he is young Scoville, the chap
who is supposed to be in love with
Miss Blithers-and vice versa" he
concluded. with chuckle.
"What have you heard?" demanded
the count in astonishment.
"Let's sit down." said Robin. at
once convinced that he had stumbled
upon an unwelcome truth.
Quinnox gravely extracted two or
three bits of paper from his pocket
and spread them out in order before
his sovereign.
"Read this one first said he
grimly.
1t was cablegram from their tinan-
cial agents in New York city, and it
said:

Her nervousness increased as they

across the Place de la Concorde. He
thought that he understood the cause
and presently sought to relieve her

him down somewhere along the Rue

j. 8. CONFEREES
ARE ON THE WAY
Gen. Scott and Funston En-
Route West; Funston May
Visit Pershing's Forces.

San Antonio, Texas, April 2S.-Army
officers believe Mai. Gen. Frederick
Funston will make an effort TO visit
field headquarters in Mexico following
the conference with Gen. Obregon.
Accompanied by Gen. Frederick Fun
ston. Gen. Hugh L Scott, chief OF staff
left here at $50 o'clock Thursday night
for El Paso. with them went their re-
spective aides.
Just what Gems Scott and Funston
will discuss with Gen. Obregon and just
what preparations they will make. are
unknown here. 1t was assumed that
Gen. Obregon has received special in
structions from his government to
guide him in the conference. Little
credence was given the unofficial re-
port that Gen. Oregon was prepared 10
demand that a definite time be set for
the withdrawal Of the American troops.
Series of Conferences.
It was not anticipated by Gems Scott
and Funston that all would be adjust
ed after one brief talk with Gen. ObTe-
gOn. Il was regarded as more likely
that the first conference would be
merely one of series and that the in
tervals might be long enough for both
Gen. Obregon and Gen. Scott to cOmmu-
nicate with their respective govern
ments regarding the various sugges-
lions as they were made. Gen. Scott
has no plenary powers and il is be-
lieved that Gen. Obregon has no au-
thority to enter an agreement without
first submitting il to Carranza.
It was believed here that the confer
ence probably would take place in Jua-
rez, the Mexican town opposite FL Paso.
It is understood that the United States
government has no objections TO Gems,
Scott and Funston meeting the Mexican
representative on Mexican soil and 1t
was realized that Gen. Oregon might
not care to carry on the discussion on

SALAZAR WOULD FORCE U. S.
INTERVENTION IN MEXICO

The movements Of Gen. Jose Ynez
salazar in Mexico. some 80 miles be-
low the border at Sierra Blanca, are
causing considerable apprehension
among the Constitutionalist authorities
as TO what Saiazar has in mind. On
Thursday, salazar with his band Of
men. not over so at the most, left the
Hacienda la Mula in a southeasterly
direction toward Pueblito. The course
is one that leads to Ojinaga.
Salazar is not recruiting many men
iu northeastern chihuahua, as the
country is largely barren and men are
about as scarce al livestock.
The general view is that Salazar is
committed to a program of interVen-
ton and that his sole mission in chr
huabua at this time is to prompt acts
Of violence that would send in addl-
tional American forces by way of OIL
