the Growth Of tie Roots

Miniature trees used as paror deco
rations generally belong to species
which under ordinary conditions sfow

ticular examples owe their small size
to the fact that their growth has been
arttically stunted The process is
simple, according to Popular Mecnan-
les.
Cut a thick skinned orange in two,
and remove the pulp from one of the
halves. Coat the skin on the outside
with shellac to preserve it, and fiji it
with fine. rich soil Plant two or three
seeds of some evergreen tree in the
soil and set it in a room where the
growing plant will get plenty of light.
Be careful to prop up the skin in
such a way that the shoot will grow
vertically; do not allow the room
where 1t stands to become overheat-
ed, and water tie soil in moderation
from time to time When the roots
force their way through the peel cut
them off flush with the outer surface,
and in doing so be careful not to In

After the plant has attained matur-
ity it may be placed in a large flower

GLAD HIS BOY is A SCOUT

At a recent father and son banquet
in Chicago the father of a scout made
the following speech, according to O..
L. Duggan, field executive:
when my boy came to me several
years ago and said he wished to join
the boy scouts said emphatically No.
A few days later he asked a second
time to be allowed to join troop that
was being formed at the church
said No again, but Immediately began
TO investigate scouting and found 1t TO
be not at all what l had thought, a
young army, but that it taught many
good and useful things Still ! did
not tell him that he might join.
"A few days later he came to me
third time and said: Dad, why don't
you want me to join the boy scoutsY
Then / said to him: "Son, didn't want
you to join the scouts, but have made
an investigation and if you will prom
ise me that you will live up to the oath
and law of that organization / will
give you my consent to join He was a
happy boy and joined the scout troop
at the next meeting.
Il cannot tell you how thankful |
am that he did join the troop. can
not think of any other one thing that
has done as much for my boy as being
a scout. We are pals together. My
son tells me everything. He is good
boy and a good scout, and the scout or
ganization and the scoutmaster deserve
all the credit for what he is today"

OPEN PORTFOLIOS
CAUSED ACCIDENT
No One Blamed for Eagle Boat
No. rs Disaster in
Delaware
NINE MEN WERE KILLED

Open portfolios, shipping at least a
quarter of a ton of water. are largely
blamed for the capsizing Of the Eagle
Boat No. 25 in the Delaware river June
II, when eight men lost their lives.
This was the finding of the naval
court of inquiry made public today at
Washington by Secretary. Daniels.
According to the court of inquiry's
report, the open portfolios we're "the
largest factor in destroying the sta
bility Of the vessel
The findings Of the court of inquiry
are emphatic on the point that the
I. s. s. Eagle No. %. in an unusually
light condition Of load similar to that
in which she was at the time she cap
sized. had such a comparatively small
range of stability as to make her an
unsafe sea boat
The court of inquiry held no one
responsible for the capsizing of the
vessel, and adds "the behavior Of all
on board was worthy of the best tradi-
tions of the service; and the personal
efforts of the commanding officer
toward saving life are especially com
mcndable." AS a consequence of this,
the chief of the bureau of navigation
recommends that letter Of com
mendation be addressed to the COM
manding officer OF the Eagle No. 70,
Lieutenant Commander Maurice X.
Pierce. L. S. NJ, for endeavoring, at
considerable risk of his own life, to
rescue one of the crew of the boat.
THE absence of stability. data and
instructions regarding operations of the
vessel from the point of view of sta .
bility on board the ship were noted
by the. court of inquiry, and in this
connection Rear Admiral David w.
Taylor, of the Bureau Of Construction
and Repair, confirmed statements that
have been made which indicate that
the Eagle boats, which were produced
by Henry Ford as a wartime emer
gency aid. are far from perfect"
