around the bush, 'but It is so funny, and

ADVERTISING BUREAUS.

Women are making successful ventures
in various advertising businesses. One of
the methods that has proved 10 work
wei! IS thnt Of organizing an advertising
bureau.
This is the way one successful firm
manages:
There are three young women in the
firm, who have incorporated under a
certain firm name One Of these is the
business manager The second is the seeker
after necessary material, whether data
or photographs She hunts up the material
required by writer for certain story,
the illustrations needed to 90 with such
an article; she makes sure Of important de-
tails that are to be used in press stories
The third partner finds the people who
are TO do the actual work, the writing, the
illustrating She plans work ahead secs
those who want publicity, arranges in
terviews, and attends to oil the social sides
of the business.
One of them worked for year as n
reporter on great daily. She learnt lot
about publicity there, and how to tell
good story, news story, when che saw IL
The other girls had been employe ed in
business offices. But they bad taken pO-
sitlons with view Of getting required
training,
Il always meant 10 get INTO business
for myself, and so did my associates,
one of them told me. "A girl needs to get
into good office and keep her eyes open
and her wits alive. before she tackles
something ON her own. But ] believe that
any girl who is intelligent and ambitious,
and who Is willing TO spend a year or two
Of hnrd business training, is sure to make

be much more likely 10 make real money
and to have a chance TO make the very
best herself in business of her own than
in any salaried job.
But | shouldn't advise any girl who

example, for you don't count hours or

JULY GARDEN TALK.

Some one once told an ardent gardener
that If she kept her garden free from weeds
until the first Of August, she would have
no more trouble with weeds until the follow
ing spring. She never found out whether or
not the promise was true, for the hot days
Of July always overcame her determine
tions to root out each weed as il appear
ed. So by the end Of summer she always
had more weeds than flowers.
July is an important time in the gar
den. II IS not time Of planning and plant
ing, like autumn and spring, an d it is not,
like June, time Of transplsnting and get
ting the garden into shape II is time Of
tending.
For what good is all the pla nting Of
April and May, all the transplanting of
June, all the work Of the previous autumn
il in July heat and drought and weeds are
allowed to oyerrun and devastate the
GARDEN
Watering the garden is the most import
ant thing that must be done. To be sure,
water makes weeds grow, and weeds root
out other plants but If you only have time
for little tending spend much Of that time
on systematic watering Of the garden in
July.

CANNING THE EARLY FRUITS
By Laura A. kirkman.

AS all the soft fruits are canned like
Strawberries with the exception OF the
consistency of the syrup | will give the
rule for canning strawberries as modei:
Hull and wash fresh berries and pack
them into hot jars which have just been
lifted from the washboiler Gamer where
they have boiled for Is minutes. Do not
blanch the berries Fill the jars sohdly TO
within Il inch Of the top of jars, beng
careful not to crush the fruit. Hold rub
bers for few seconds In boiling water
then put them on the jars.
Keep hot syrup ready IN double ooiler
after it has been made ut should consist OF
parts sugar to l part water and pour
this over the fruit until the jars are full 10
within u Of an inch from the top. Put on
cover, pull up bail, bu do not clamp the
spring. Lift the jar into the washboller
Gamer, having the water well over the
lar. Leave in the Gamer for 10 minutes,
not beginning to count until the water is
boiling again after putting the jar In.
After the 10 minutes are up, remove he
far. place it on cloth which has been
wrung out of hot water, fasten the clamp
of the jar, and place 1t upside down for
while to be sure there is no leakage.
The syrup for sweet fruits should con-
sist of l part sugar to 2 parts water. For
slightly acid fruits, have the syrup parts
sugar to parts water. For medium acid
fruits make the syrup / part sugar TO
part water And for very acid fruits make
the syrup parts sugar to l part water
On June 10 / gave Time Table for
blanching and processing the common
fruits and vegetables with a wash-boller

send it TO her # she will write to me per-
sonally, requesting it and enclosing a

the above-gIven directions and the Time
Table, any woman can put up her fruits
by the "cold pack" method without fear
ing a mistake. The following are some
recipes for preserving the early fruits:
Preserved Cherries the stones
from sour red cherries. Put the cherries
in alternate layers in the preserving kettle
with half their weight of sugar and one
fourth their weight of honey (all sugar
may be used if desired, instead of the
honey. Let stand "a hours and then SIM
mer gently until the cherries are tender.
Put in glass jars, adjust rubbers, partially
seal (that is, do not seal tight and process
for ten minutes IN the washboller canner.
Then completely seal, label and store.
Preserved Strawber ries-Hull the ber-
ries and measure them, allowing an equal

NIPPO AND THE SNOwFLAKES.

NIPPO AND THE SNOWFLAKES.
One night when the Goblins were
running about the woods under the dry
leaves on the ground, the snow began to
fall thick and fast, and one little Goblin
named hippo hid behind a bush instead OF
running home, as all his brother Goblins
did
The Goblins do not like the wet and
cold but hippo wanted to know what all
the soft, WITHHOLDING fakes were that
were frightening his brothers away. hippo
was a little frightened himself, but his
curiosity was greater than his fright, and
so he stayed behind.
The last rock, which served as door TO
Goblin land, had closed with n click, and
hippo knew he was locked out for the
night, even if he changed his mind and
wanted to go home, 80 he began to look nj
the falling snow and to wonder If he could
find out what it was.
hippo knew about the raindrops, and
that they we're the children of the clouds,

thought Immediately popped into my mind that
static signals from some other planet were prop
ably responsible This idea took such hold on
me that made the definite suggestion that there
3 be established in the ore fields Oh Michigan sta-
ton where scientific vigil might be kept, IN the
hope that the great masses of ore in that region
would attract magnetic signals from interpanetary
space,
If we are TO accept the theory of Mr.. Marcon
that these signals are being sent out by nhabi-
tants Of other planets, we must at once accept
with it the theory of their advanced development
Either they are our intellectual equals or our su-
periors 1t would be stupid for us to assume that
we have a corner all the intelligence in the
universe"
NjkoIa Tesla the famous Serbian inventor and
electrical expert says: "AIarcons idea of com
municating with the other planets is the greatest
and most fascinating problem confronting the
human imagination today. To insure success a
body of competent scientists should be organized
10 study all possible plans and put into execution

by astronomers with sufficient backing from men
with money and Imagination. Surprising that
there are intelligent human beings on Mars, sue
cess is easily within the range of possibility In
March 1907, stated in the Harvard Illustrated
Magazine that experiments looking to communca-
ton with other planets should be undertaken.
IN 1899 l built an electric plant in Colorado
and obtained activities of 100000 horsepower.
In the course of my experiments I employed a
receiver of virtually unlimited constituencies There
were no other wireless plants near, and, at that
time no other wireless plants anywhere on this
earth of sufficient range to affect mine. One day
my ear caught what seemed to be regular signals.
l knew that they could not have been produced
upon the earth The possibility that they came
from Mars occurred to me- but the pressure of
business affairs caused me to drop the experiment.
THE thing think, that we should try to devel-
op is plan akin TO picture transmission by means
of which we could convey to the inhabitants of
Mars knowledge of earthly forms This would
enable up to exchange with them not only simple
primitive facts, but involved conceptions. To talk
to Mars seems TO me only matter of electric
power and perseverance"
Frank Dyson, British astronomer royal, believes
we could get Hertzian waves from other planets.

coherer is sceptical. Prof. Domenico Argentieri,
