Bulbs For Indoors

College Park, Md. Oct. 19.-Varieties
OF bulbs for growing indoors are

should have few Of these bulbs in

are so easy to culture that with little
attention, everyone can have success.
Secure the bulbs now and plant them
In pots sufficiently large to accommo-

the size OF the bulbs. Do not push the
bulb into the pot or soil, in so doing
the soil is compacted under the bulb
and as the young roots form, they
have tendency, in such cases, to
force the bulb out of the pot. 1t is
best to partially fill the pot with soil
and then place the bulb on this and
all in with more soil. Slightly firm
the soil over the bulb.
In hyacinths, the bulb should be
placed at least two inches from the
top Of the pot. Tulips can be shall

ported, place them outdoors in well
drained place; cover with a few
inches of sand, after first watering the
bulb and seeing that all pots are we'll

root system is well gormed. This in
sures good flowers. 1t generally takes
from eight to 10 weeks for the bulb to
produce good root system outdoors.
Bulbs can then be brought indoors,
gradually given more light and high.

care to place the bulbs outdoors, they

Steps to the Mile.

How many steps do you take to the
mile? Should you be a British in
fantryman your pace will be the long
est of any infantryman in the world.
The Russians pace Is the shortest, be-
ing PIN inches, the French, Italian and
Austrian PAGES are 20 inches, the Ger
mans do 81 inches, whilst the English
stride an extra half inch.
But your own pace, what of it? 1t
depends upon your height. Take your
eyebrow height, halve 1t, and that rep
resents your pace. You will find it to
be somewhere between 30 inches and
SO inches, so that you will need be-
tween 1900 and 2,100 PAGES to the

Democratic Candidate Said That Our
Army Was Ample and That We Did
Not Have Enough Troops to Patrol
the Border; That We were on the
Verge of a MaeIstrom and That
There Was No Critical Situation;
That the National Guard Would
Not Do and Then That It Must Do.
In the fourteen months extending
from December 9Th. 1914. to February
10th, 1916, there were fifteen mes
sages, letters and speeches OF Presi-
dent Wilson which | have read. In
these fifteen messages. letters ana
speeches, during those fourteen
months President Wilson took forty
one different positions about prepared
ness and the measures necessary to
secure 1t; and each of these fOrty-on
positions contradicted from one to six
of the others. In many of his speeches
the weasel words of one portion OF
the speech took all the meaning out
of the words used in another portion
of that speech; and these latter words
themselves had weasel significance
as regards yet other words He ar
gued for preparedness, and against
preparedness. He stated that our
urmy was ample; and that we did
not have enough troops to patrol the
Mexican border in time of peace. He
said the world was on fire, and that
ri Eol n
and cause us to burst into flame; and
he also said that there was no imme-
date danger. He said that there was
no sudden crisis; and then again that
he did not know what a single day
would bring forth. He said that we
were Oh the verge of maelstroin;
and then that there was no special
or critical situation. He said the dam
ger was constant and immediate; and
also that we were not threatened from
any quarter. He said that there was
no fear among us: and also that we
were In daily danger Of seeing the
vital interest and honor of the country
meuaced and the flag of the United
Suites stained with impunity. He
said that we were In very critical
danger of being involved In the great
European struggle: and also that
there was no need to dicuss the
question of defense, or to get nervous
or excited about It, In one and the
same speech he said that II sufficient
number of men would volunteer. and
that If they did not he would be
ashamed of America and he also said
that he did not know of any law
which laid upon them the duty of com
ing into the army IL 1t should be
necessary to call for volunteers. He
said that we needed 100000 volunteers,
and that If there was any legitimate
criticism of this demand 1t was be-
cause 1t was too small; and as soon
as Congressman Hay objected to the
plan, he promptly abandoned 1t. He
said that the National Guard was not
the proper body upon which to rely;
and then not only changed his own
mind but forced his own Secretary of
War out of his cabinet. because this
Secretary possessed less flexible con-
victions and was unable instantly to
reverse himself when going at full
speed.-From the Speech of Colonel
Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan,
