Did you ever try mending the torn
places in linoleum? It's easy. Just
trim the edges Of the hole with the
scissors-kitchen scissors-then place
a linoleum patch underneath, or If you
have none of this. use oilcloth. Paint
the edges on the wrong side. Press
down tight against the patch and al
low it to dry. Paint all worn places,
using paint the same color as the oil

Why Called "BIoodhound." !"

As regards the name bloodhound,
Count LIE Couteulx believes that when
fox hunting in something like Its pres
ent form was instituted it was found
that the sleuth-hound was not fast
enough for the purpose, and the pres
ent foxhound was evolved from various
material, and about this time it be-
came usual, in speaking of the old
hound of the country, to call him a
bloodhound, meaning the hound of
pure blood (as might be said of a
blooded horse) to distinguish him
from the new hound or foxhound.
There is only one breed Of pure, gen
uine bloodhounds, and that is the Eng
lish.

from them bits of information they
hope to use in future conversation
with the neighbors. And yet these
very people would be indignant If you
should call them snoopy"
The little ones feel fiattered by the
attention they are given and readily
talk about what father or mother said
and what they did.
Often they repeat remarks which
have been made about the neighbors
and invariably this causes trouble.

just what the prYing person wants,

and the children make the best of
tools.
Children are likely to forget, or get
the wrong idea of what is said. and
give 1t a different Interpretation from
what Is meant.
In this way parents are often cred
tied with statements which they did
not make and which would be decid-
edly distasteful to those who might
hear about them.

Work May Be Done at Any Time
During Year, but Is Best While
Trees Are Dormant.

Pruning may be done at any time
Gunderson of the division of polmo-
logy, University of Illinois. 'It can
best be done, however, while the trees
are dormant, for more time is then
available, and in the absence of foliage
1t is easier to tell what branches
should be removed"
First-Remove all dead, diseased or
broken limbs.
Second-Cut out the water sprouts.
Third - Remove those branches
which cross or interfere with each
other.
Fourth - Cut back any leader
branches that may be making an over
vigorous growth. In doing so, do not
leave straight stugs. but cut back to a
side branch. This will improve the
shape of the top and make spraying
and picking easier.
Fifth-Do not overprune by cutting
out too large branches and thereby
suddenly open up the top to exposure
to the sun. This may prouuce sun
scald. Instead, thin out the top uni
formly by removing the smaller
branches of about one-half inch diam
eter.
Sixth-Do part of the pruning this
year, and the balance next year, espe-
cialIy where no pruning has been done
| before.
Seventh-Be careful of the fruit
spurs. These are the parts Of the
tree which bear apples. If broken of
they never can bear again.
The method Of cutting when prun-
ing apple trees is very important. The
best advice is to cut every branch
whether large or small, as close as pos
! sible to the part from which it is
taken. Never leave stubs, for stubs
will not permit the healing over of the
wounds, but may induce decay. Make

The scientists undertake to study

seem in the main to be regular and

to be plenty of exceptions TO this
well established rule.
Every section Of the country has
had its unusual natural phenomena.
The proximity Of comets eclipses
of the sun and the moon, shooting
stars and the like have occupied the
minds of many students thruout all
time, but the breaking ;rvay from the
regularity of the seasons, unusual

long winters and cold summers inn
press themselves upon the minds in
such a way that they are held in

United Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. l.
Congressional leaders have ratified
President Wilson's request for a test
vote on his German policy.
The president is planning to force
showdown on a straight warning
resolution covering the controversy
regarding the rights of Americans to
Gravel on armed merchantmen.
Flood, Stone, Clark and Kitchin
have conferred with the president.
Even while arranging for the test
vote, some of the leaders indicated a
disbelief that congress, and at least
the house, would be willing to sup
port the president whole heartedly
kitichin referred ironically to the
presidents power over congress.
Clark, known to favor resolu-
ton warning Americans to keep off
all armed ships. refused to comment.
A final roll call was impossible to-
day. The leaders are threshing out
the rules and technicalities. Flood
said there was little question but that
eo1greis woald support President
Wilson.
The president and leaders have
practically concluded that the test
shall be on resolutions similar to
those introduced by Representative
