JAPANESE GARDENS POPULAR
by ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN

Just another way OF saying that one
may make pretty garden with com
paratively little to put in it is to call
attention to the japanese idea Of the
value Of space in decorative effect.
1t is shown in the japanese garden,
which, during this fall, is coming into
considerable vogue. Nippon art has
long taken the garden rs its chief
working sground. When travellers,
pushing curiously through the door
that Commodore Perry kicked open,
to the untold benefit of the unwilling
natives, first knew the island empire
they called it the Flowery kingdom.

gained attention was the fact thar
these bright spots, giving a colorfut
effect to the entire communities. were
made by smartly placing very few
plants and flowers in artistic vessels,
and by relieving the blank spaces with
funny figures, carved to represent men
or animals.
The wooden frog in the center of the
little Japanese plot had all Of the
space it needed. and the few others
scattered about in seemingly careless
but actually very careful, arrange

One of the popular figures of the

Business In Explosives
Industrial Barometer

Some OF the things they tell you about
explosives here In Wilmington are de-
cidodly startling. One veteran OF the du
Pont system said:
"lt Is a common observation that the
iron industry Is the best barometer OF
industrial condition. As a matter of
fact. the business In explosives Is still
better as an index. The demand for
explosives Is an absolutely accurate
gauge of the activity In all kinds Of
mining, metal and mineral. One kind

ing their land for trees by loosening II
up with explosions OF dynamite. ] know
several farmers who have drained big
ponds by sinking huge charges OF dyna-
mite in their beds and blowing them up,
opening up the earth so that the water
was readily absorbed"
One of the most astonishing things
about the operation of this most danger
Gus OF all Industries Is the fact that
according to statistics II has actually
been less dangerous TO manufacture ex-
ploslves since the war began than II
was before. That is. the company's
records show that I'm proportion to the
amount of powder and other explosives
turned out, there has been less loss OF
life than there was I'm time of peace.
The du Pont authorities very seriously
doubt whether any one of the explo-
sions that have occurred in their
works was the result OF anything other
than ordinary industrial explosives. The
plants are all guarded and policed with
the utmost vigilance, but II Is exceed
