Roses for Every Section.

The Department of Agriculture In
q rose zone map shows how frosts linn
IL rose culture in certain sections. Tea
roses by this map can be grown
throughout the South and In California,
or wherever the frOsts are over In
March. Hybrid tea roses are safe far
Their north TO southern Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, New
Mexico and Arizona. where the frosts
are over in April. Hybrid perpetuals
and some hardy specimens can be
grown In the northern states where
the last frost is In May, but where
frosts occur during the summer, as
in parts of the northwest, success with
outdoor roses is difficult.
This schedule is based on the suppO-
sition that roses In the districts as
signed to them as safe will need no
special care In the winter. With win
ter coverings Of earth, straw and bur-
lap, many roses will resist frost and
cold. Some hybrid tea roses, for ex-
ample, can be grown in Minnesota and
Massachusetts.
There are thousands Of varieties Of
roses, and several hundred new ones
are produced each year, so that there
are roses adaptable to practically ev-
cry part of the country.

HEARTS AFFECTED BY FEAR
Armenian Children Slow in Recover.
ing From Terrors to Which They
Were Long Subjected.

According to DIR. Mabel Elliott, head
OF the American Woman's Hospitals,
who Is now serving with the Near
East Relief at Ismld, Turkey, a large
number Of the Armenian children
under her care are suffering from en-
larged hearts or other forms of heart
disease, due to the constant fear to
which they have been prey during the
past few years.
Relief workers In the Near East
have long been familiar with the men,
tai petrifaction due to the terrible ex-
perlence through which these children
have passed, most of them having for
gotten everything OF their past, their
names, their homes and their language
included, but this is the first instance
that has been recorded Of the effect Of
fear on their hearts.
The cure which DIR. Elliott is prac-
ticing with these children is com
bination of mental and medical. First
of all, they are made to realize that
they are entirely out Of danger and
among friends. Then they are put on
special diet of nourishing foods and
certain exercises are prescribed. The
results so far have been remarkably
successful.

AaN0LD BENNETT ON WORDS
Bad English. Is the Contention
Of Noted Writer.

Arnold Bennett hates half-meanings,
and especially he hates inexact words.
He quotes from a London daily and
holds up to ridicule 1.-THE King and
queen were present at a first night In
a London theater last evening for the
initial time In their reign" His COM
ments are instructive, Malcolm Cowley
writes In the Literary Review:
1T Is quite a first-rate example
Of bad English. The culprit, whose
name Is we'll known to myself and
other members Of the London literary
police force evidently thought that 1t
would be inelegant TO use the same
word twice In two lines; so he sub
stituted initial for first In the second
line. Perhaps he had never re-
flected that words express ideas, and
that therefore IL precise idea re-
ours, the precise word for that Idea
ought to recur. The idea expressed
by the word first is precise enough,
and no other English word means what
first means. Certainly initial does
not mean first Still, the man meant
well. his misfortune was tnat, nav
ing picked up good notion without
examining it, he imagined that repe-
titiOn was inelegant In itself. Rope
tition is only wrong when 1t is uninten-
tional, and when, being hOrrid to the
eur, 1t is reasonably and honestly
avOidable On the other hand. repe-
tition, used with tact and courage, may
achieve not merely elegance but posi-
tive brilliance."
Here is Benefits style both In
theory and practice, and the practice
agrees with the theory. The passage
is not merely clear, but 1t is brilliantly
repetitive The trouble is that Bennett
often goes out Of his way to repeat
himself.

All True.

The guest was smirking, sly sort
of man. He hoped to make good with
his host by winning the affection of
his children. But for some reason
seven-year-old Mary did not like him.
Still he persisted and one evening
when he entered the house and saw
her all bedecked in new dress, he
said meaningly, Fine feathers make
fine birds, / see," and smiled at her
father.
Mary turned and looked at him and
noticed the fur collar on his overcoat.
And then a little giggle escaped her.
"Oh, fine fur makes foxes, too" she
returned.
But she didn't know why the guest
cOlored.

Buy But Buy Wisely

w. d. Nichols, who is a sue
cessful farmer and a well known
specialist at the Experiment Sta
ton at Lexington, has the fol
lowing to say concerning false
economy in the Southern Agii.
culturist: .
During b present period
when farmers are forced t. prac
tice rigid economy it is impor.
tant 10 distinguish between wise
and unwise expenditures. 1t is
entirely correct that farmers
should avoid making purchases of
unnecessary equipment. How
ever, economy does not consist i'm
not buying, but in buying wisely.
There are many cases in which
farmers suffer losses or forego
possible profits by failure to buy
needed equipment. This was the
case recently when the writer
purchased light truck for de-.
livering milk to the market. This
purchase entailed the expendi.
ture of considerable sum, but
the new equipment makes posi-

years of business experience in
farming have shown that it is fire..

A Force for Southern Health.

In the fifty years of its service Me-

out nearly $500 graduate negro ply,
sicians, 500 dentists, and a number OF
nurses to fight the appalling losses
human and economic, caused by ILL
ness among the negroes of the south
They are making good in every state
many of them having the cooperation
and hearty good will of the white
physicians of their communities; and
some of them are rendering fine ser
vice in promoting better under
standing between the races.
Both races are thus concerned i'll
the recent gifts of half million dol
lars to the institution from northern
boards-gifts which emphasize both
it's thorough work and the greatness
of the need it is trying to meet. An
other half million will put the college
in Glass A, and furnish the eight mil
lion negroes in the south with at least
one school offering first-class prepara-
ton to their doctors, dentists and
nurses. In view of the loss from
preventable illness among the
negroes, running yearly Gloss to
S2OO,0O0,00O, and the danger and
trouble from the same source
which overshadows the homes of both
races, the success of the Meharry
drive" for the additional half-mil-
lion is of immediate and practical
concern to whites as well as blacks.

ku.kiux Not Wanted.

Many ministers alliances are ac-
lively opposing the Ku-Klux organi-
zation. Frequently Sunday is given
to sermons against it from all the
pulpits of city; sometimes an ap-
peal is made to the authorities. The
city council of Roanoke, Va, recently
responded to such an appeal from the
ministers with public declaration of
the city's entire ability to maintain
order without outside aid, and a re-
quest to all citizens to refuse to
countenance the organization. In
Louisiana the outspoken opposition of
the New Orleans papers has done
much to prevent the Klan's progress,
and very little headway has been made
there by its supporters.
