Cypress Vine)

The plants included under the names
tnorning-glory, moonfiOwer, and cy-
press vine, while all classed together
botanically, are quite varied in form
of flower and foliage. Their chief
merit rests In the fact Of their rapid
growth and ability to cover large
spaces I'm short time. The shoots
grow long and are we'll provided with
foliage, two factors which adapt them
well for temporary uses, such as COW
ering structures and summerhouses,
and for immediate effect upon new
buildings. All three of the above
named types grow readily from seed,
the morning-glory and cypress vine
both giving good returns from seeds

A brilliant girl spent half an hour
trying to capture big miller that was
flying about the room.
FINALLY the child, with a shout of
triumph, cornered the moth, and soon
had it imprisoned in chubby hand.
When the miller finally lay still and
quiet the child opened her hand.
"'What is it. dear?". her mother ask
ed. Then she gave an ejaculation of
amazement:
This miller has put about 200 eggs
right in my hand" the youngster re-
piled.

While the plant does not grow as ro-
bustly as those named above, it is well
adapted for covering low screens and
arbors. 1t grows readily from seed,
which should be sown in rich border
rather thickly, about complaining
time, and the young plants thinned to
stand to 6 inches apart In the row.

In striving for something different"
some people are led into strange situa-
tons quite often. This is thing to be
avoided by the average man in plan
ming his home. He must have charac-
ter in his house, but let that character
be something which will endure to be
admired many years after it was orig
mated. Freak ornamentatiOn is all
right in it's place, but it's purpose
should be to attract attention not to
stimulate admiration.
Because the bungalow type of house
is especially adapted to it, there may
be more Ornamentation worked into it's
design than could safely be used on
some of the other types of houses.
Furthermore, common practice has es-
tablished the ornamented bungalow as
structure which is seen wherever
there are bungalows. The warning
should consist not so much in the ma
ture of a denunciation of ornamental
ton in general as it should be a rec
ommendation of the simple methods of
ornamentation.
Occasionally the searcher after
fancy effects is startled to find that
the most simple designs have the
strongest appeal. There is really moth
ing strange about this fact, for it is
true Of almost every matter in which
general popular taste has an influence
The evidence Of quality, expressed in
simple dignity, is the strongest and
most lasting manner in which to build
character into any structure.
The matter of cost is one which the
average man must give careful con-

Merchant captains hereafter will CO.

any military circumstance without
question, whether the naval officers
are in command OF conveys or the
ranking naval officer aboard a mer-
chant ship. Revocation of license is
the alternative.
This is the purport of an order is
sued yesterday by Gen. George Uhler.
supervising inspector of the Steam
boat-inspection Service. with the ap-,
prevail of William c. Redfield, Sec
rotary of Commerce. The order is
hailed by the United States Shipping
Board as a solution of what has
been a threatening difficulty in the
operation of the American merchant
marine, through the conflict between
merchant and naval authority.
The order follows closely a state
ment by the Shipping Board recently
that in some instances merchant cap
tains failed to cooperate with naval
convoy commanders in the danger
zone. The order also warns the mer-
chant captains to maintain discipline
and sobriety. In other respects, their
authority is not restricted or criti-
cised by implication.
