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 I 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-
proxinately, 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 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 garden flow
er, it fully justifies the use of the
Greek name because it is literally a
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 it's growth,
and the hard treatment of rough win
ter will not serve to deter it in it's 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.

FIND VOLCANO IN MINDANAo
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu
tenant DonnelIy Says of the
Discovery.

Mindanao has new volcano, accord
ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten-
ant Donnelly, while on hike into the
interior of Lanao province, discovered
an active volcano in the Piagayungan
range Of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
Donnelly says Of his discovery in the
following report:
"June 5, 1915, the undersigned, In
command of a combined detachment
Of the First Cotabato company, and
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Piagayunan
mountain range, came in sight Of an
active volcano which from all indica-
lions had recently erupted discharge
of volcanic ash and either smoke or
flame.
'From the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
gcorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scorched
leaves retaining their form, 1t was
thought that the eruption had been
recent At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
stroyed the fragile remnants Of the
burned foliage"

Japan's Rising Cotton Trade.

Japan's exports of cotton yarn have
shown large increase since the lat
ter part of last year. According to the
Japan Chronicle. report of investiga-
tions made by the Spinning associa-
ton, exports of various cotton cloths
during the first half of this year
amounted In value to 23,415,O72. This
figure is unprecedentedly large and
shows an increase of $4,123, ,467 over
the amount for the preceding six
months and $10,966.4S8 over that of
the corresponding period last year.
The highest rate of increase was seen
in the exports to India, followed by
the exports to Siberia, while the ex-
ports to the Philippines decreased by
about one-half, as compared with the
preceding half year.

HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER
BY L. 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 so 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-
diator, as close as possible to the light,
but not in the glaring sun.
The worst enemy of the plants is
dust. Owing to it's smooth leaves, the
palm can be readily kept free from
this. Its 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-
GUS in this respect. 1t is difficult to
give a definite rule. Generally speak
ing, the earth in the pot should be
AOOAAA
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 It is easy to soak the soil
of a plant, but hard to dry it, once
thoroughly wet.
Neither a 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, a 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
ly 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 a little whale-Oil
soap, it will be more effective. OF

Leonardo da vinci Statue.

The museum of fine arts at Buda-
pest, Hungary, has acquired what is
declared to be a treasure in an almost
unknown bronze statue Of Leonardo
da Vinci, executed by himself.
The Hungarian sculptor Stephen
Ferenczy bought the bronze in Italy
early in the nineteenth century with
out knowing that Da Vinci was its
creator.
1t was not until after Ferenczy's
death that the authorship was estab-
lished.

CARE or THE HoLL.YHocK

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 old
plants. If seed is not allowed to de-
velop, the energy of the plant will be
expended on these, and they will bear
a good crop of flowers late in the sea-
son. But if the plant perfects seed
they never amount to anything. See
to it that they are encouraged to
make themselves useful.

course, there are many insecticides
used by florists, but this is cheap,
simple remedy, which is just as eff
fective as any other. Being vege-
table poison, no great care is required
in handling or using the tobacco juice,
whereas paris green and other min
eral poisons should be applied with the
greatest precaution, as even slight
overdose will scorch the leaves and
thereby ruin the plant.

Ry-Proauct col,s oven.

The iron industry OF this country
has been adopting the by-produot COX
ing process at a marvellous rate. There
are practically no by-product coke
plants in the United States, which dc
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil
(crude benzolJ.
In the vast majority of the plants
also surplus gas is recovered and util-
lied either at the plant itself or by
distribution to outside consumers.
There are possibly two or three very
small by-product coke plants at which
tar and ammonia are not recovered for
disposal to the outside markets, but
these would certainly represent con-
siderably less than 1 per cent of the
total by-product coking capacity of
the country that is not now equipped
with benzol recovery plants, and the
by-product coking plants now under
construction have either contracted for
benzol recovery equipment or indicated
a strong probability that such provi-
sion will be de-Metallurgical and

MARGUERITE CLARK
 FEATURE AT FOX'S

The attractions at Fox's for today and tomorrow will be the TriarBle feature Sorrows Of Love-" starring Bessie Barrisoale and the Paramount
 play "silks And Satins,' featuring lovable Marguerite Clark. While pre-
 pairing for her marriage to a much
 disliked man-abo ut-tOwn, Felc1te
 (played by Marguerite Clark) nnds an old yellow diary in the debris of
 her favorite table, relic of the Na-
 po1eonic period. To her great delight an avenue of escape from her distress
 ing predicament is unfolded to her through the medium of the aged
 manuscri pts. This strange coincidence occurs in the exquisite Famous Play
 CTS productions Silks And Satins.'
 Miss Clark assumes the role of a
 modern American girl and that of her
 own ancestress of the Napoleonic era.
 In "The Sorrows of Love-" the Tri-
 angle offering, Bessie Barrisoa1e, as Sister Beatrice, Is credited with re- markable characterization. Her de- lineation of the white robed nun is the very essence of innate goodnes while her later portrayal of the pas- sionate daughter of Italy, is equally rich in fiery emotion Tn addition to l the above attractions the Keystone ! players will offer The Mystery of the Leaping Fish" featuring Douglas l Fairbanks and the Paramount will ot- l fer their Burton-Ho1me Travelogue. ] AS usual the performance at this l house will be continuous from to II | n m on Saturday.

''They Think It's Funny" :"

Another woman I know of had made an engagement to attend a club tea with a group of her woman friends, Two or three days before hand her little boy came down with a light case of measles and she teIe- phoned to break the engagement. Whereupon they scolded her for be- ing over-conscientious and said they should be terribly upset if she didn't go. Finally she yielded, leaving the child with nurse girl. He caught more cold, and has been sick ever since.
 She has been worried over the child and she has been tied down to the house for over a month. But at least she has the satisfaction of knowing that her friends weren't hurt.
 Foolish to Let Other People Live
 Your Life.
 It is foolish to be so pig-headed so sure of ones self, that one Is never influenced by what other people think but 1t is equally foolish to let other people live ones life for one.
 You really know better than they what is wise and what would bring you happiness. You owe some consid- eration to the happiness of others, but you are not called upon to saci- flee your happiness or your best in- terests to the whims Of others.
New Britain herald., 1916-08-04

One of my housemates was pre- pairing to go to a reception the other evening.
 AS she gave her hair a final pat and drew on her gloves she scolded, "I don't want to go at all. I'm tired out, and I've got a splendid book I want to read. and I hate receptions anyway"
 ''Why do you go?"
 "Oh, I told Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Winthrop I would go with then.''
 '"They can go with each other"
 "Yes, but they'll think it funny if don't,'' she said. And so she went.
 She Went Just Because She Was
 Afraid.
 Not because she wanted to; not be- cause she was under any obligation to Git was a public reception and it didn't matter whether she went or not;) not because anyone would be tnconvenienced; but just because two women would think it funny if she didn't.
 But at least she had the satisfac- ton of knowing that those two wom- en didn't think her funny.
 The amount of unhappiness we cause ourselves and the amount of happiness we lose because we defer unnecessarily to other peoples fcel- ings is really appalling.
