HOW -
To Grow Miscellaneous Plants

"\fIE following suggestions for

garden and for caring for II
later are made by specialists
OF the United States department OF
/ agriculture.
II an indoor window box Is decided
upon, good depth for II Is about
eight inches. The bottom Of the box
should be covered with stones and
broken pottery for drainage This
should be covered with a layer Of moss
! 10 prevent the s0il from working down
and clogging the drainage spaces. The
drainage and moss should take up to-
gcther about two inches. The greater
the body Of soil above the moss the
more uniformly moist II may be kept
THE soil should fail to hll the box by
from one and one-half 10 two inches.
The indoor window box should be as
long as The window Is wide, and TO
gct us much Fight us possible ii should
be level with the window sill 1t may
be placed either on brackets, table
or legs permanently fastened to IT, \
hole or holes should be provided In
the bottom of the box and drip pan
should be placed beneath to catch
drainage water,
The top OF the soil should be allowed
10 become dry occasionally. The re-
suits of watering should be closely
observed and the supply regulated ae.
cordng TO needs. In general il is bet-
ter to water lightly and frequently
than heavily and infrequentiy al
though just the reverse is considered
best when watering is done out of
door in summer.
Begonias are about the only plants
that may be expected to flower in a
window box For the most part foliage
alone must be depended upon as the
contribution Of the indoor plants to the
attraetivcness Of the room Among
the plants which may be grown for
foliage for window boxes are ferns,
gcraniums, Konilworth ivy smilax and
aspidistra. The latter plant is cspe-
Cially valuable as window box plant
as it will thrive in spite Of consider
able neglect, drought and dust,
In addition to the plants already
mentioned, palms, rubber plants and
cacti may be grown In pots. It is adj
visable in growing all these plants to
make use Of regular florists potting
soil, made up Of one part compost, one
part good loan and one part sand. 1t
Is well to add one-twentieth part bone
meal to the mixture.

How to Determine the Amount of Fats
In Cream.

How to Determine the Amount Of Fats
In Cream.
Professor Lindet of the French agro-
monte institute has given to the Acad-
envy Of Agriculture very simple proc
ess for calculating rapidly the guam
tity of fatty matter in cream. 1t Is the
fatty matter that gives cream its
quality-the more of this butter the
better the cream. This Is the process !:
A drop of cream Is placed upon a
sheet of paper and introduced at once
into an oven heated to 105 degrees G..
The watery part Of the cream evapo-
rates, and the fat, absorbed by the pa
per- forms a spot which enarges rap
idly at first, then more slowly as the
edges OF the spot increase their dis
lance from the point at which the drop
has been placed. At the end Of a
specified time the area of the spot is
measured and compared with that Of
n spot formed by drop of pure grease
Of the same size deposited at the same
time and under Identical conditions.
Professor Lindet uses drops Of one
one hundredth of n. cubic Centimeter In
size and places his paper in wooden
frames to prevent 1t from curling up In
the oven. He removes it before the
spots have spread to more than three
or four centimeters In diameter.

First Aid to Marriage.

OF what use is diamond, anyways
Conservationists who are for cutting
out all extravaganza during the war
are asking the question, says the Kan
sas City Star.
The answer, based upon statistics
furnished by jewelers., seems to be
that the diamond is most valuable
as an aid to marriage. 1t is said
that the trade in diamonds goes up or
down in ratio with increasing or de-
creasing numbers of marriages. This
is because the diamond is used so
much as the setting in engagement
rings.
Last year the United States Inn
ported $34,000,000 worth Of dia-
monds, an increase Of 70 per cent
over 1915 and 40 per cent over 1914.
Looking into this startling growth
of the diamond trade it was discov-
cred that, according to leading i'm
porters, "every girl expects real dia-
mond in pledge Of plighted troth these
days, and the growth Of that custom,
coupled with good times and an In
crease in the number Of marriages, &C
counts for it."

MANY GIRLS ARE SWlNDLED
Would-Be Movie Stars Induced to Part
With Money on All Kinds
Of Promises.

Young girls come to New York by
the scores of hundreds, determined to
win fame and much money In motion
pictures, says Film Fun. They believe
they can do this.
In most cases they have only little
money and very few friends wiser than
themselves. Sooner or later each re-
ceives card Of invitation, signed with
an unfamiliar name, but bearing every
evidence Of good taste and sincerity.
1t informs the ambitious one that
the writer has learned she Is open for
an engagement In the pictures, and If
this is SO will she please call. She
does call and Is met with a cordially
that might arouse suspicion in star,
but which pleases the innocent one.
Very adreitly she Is put in possess
sion Of the information that she is
needed in the work, but three or four
weeks training Is absolutely necessary
to prepare her, even though she may
have acted for years on the stage.
And the charge will be $50.
Usually, If she seems reluctant, an
assistant is called into conference, and
presently a special price Of $26 is
agreed to.
II 1t may be surmised from the con-
versation that a larger sum can be OBJ
tanned, the aspirant for stellar roles Is
told that stock may be purchased In
the corporation in amounts anywhere
from 500. to $1,000, and an investor
will receive enormous dividends, and
the necessary preparation for screen
success without tuition. A contract
is guaranteed to each investor.
Everybody in fllmdom knows Of the
existence Of the concerns, of which
there are several that vary but little in
their plan Of operation. They all carry
regular ads in the daily papers. 1t is
from responses to these advertise
ments that addresses are obtained.
One concern charges an enrolment
feesof So, a dollar each for course Of
20 lessons, and confers diploma when
these have been completed. Then the
new actress is advised to have strip
of film made, just to show how we'll
she screens.
The charge for this is only $2S She
is assured this is essential to success.
The near-riot that often ensueS Nhep
a young woman shows up with her
strip of film and demands the star part
which has been guaranteed her, and
which she believes she has earned
and paid for, would be very funny If
it were not in many cases so tragic.
This very thing would happen
oftener than it does but for the fact
that studios and managers are safe
guarded against all visitors.

In the field, officers eat the same
food as the men. If they want to pur-
chase some extra dainties that Is their
affair. Any man can do the same. The
government issues sugar for the coffee,
and jam or preserves or dried fruit. At
mess time, the men, each carrying his
kit, line up in front of the kitchen. As
the line passes along, the sergeant
dishes up the stew and beans or other
vegetables, one Of the cooks doles out
the bread, another fills the coffee mugs
and the third is sweltering over the
fire. After all the men have been
served, the sergeant fills the officers
tin dishes and carries them to where
they are waiting. That is all the extra
service they get. It is the same with
the marines. 1t is wise government
regulation. The officer knows what
food the men are getting, for he has
the same.
