Charles Goodyear, who became .

study OF Park Shrubs Helpful.

It is d good plan to have some Of
the large shrubs in the corner Of the
lawn, and smaller ones in between
should be In an irregular line, with a
tall specimen here and there neal the
front, 80 the top line will not be too
straight. BY visiting parks a study
can be made of the growing habits Of
the various shrubs. This will be found
helpful in deciding what plants will
be best suited for certain locations.
You will avoid such mistakes as plant
ing shrubs too close together and plant
ing the wide spreading varieties too
near the walk. Close planting may be
practiced, but 1t is usually necessary
to take up every other one within q
few years. If plants are set neal the
walk 1t is often necessary to keep trim
ming them back every year.

Wonderful Poison Gases.

Canned, solidified, poison gas, which
is claimed to be absolutely foolproof
and mobile, has been perfected for use
by the American soldier, according to
Popular Mechanics Magazine. That
two studies-defeDsive and offensive
gas r~esearch-go hand in hand al
ready has been demonstrated, for, In
addition to the development Of new
forms of gas, army experts at the
Edgewood (Md.) arsenal, have had to
improve the gas masks to make them
effective against some of the ley
gases brought into existence there. In
technical military progress, every new
weapon means a call upon the armorer
for a new defense. AS a result, this
country today has not only gases
which surpass anything used during
the World war, but a mask which, in
recent tests was worn "a hours q day
for a week, except at mealtime, with
out any discomfort whatever. Breath
ing was normal, speaking was simple,
and 1t kept out all the gases thus far
known.

the high price Of paint and labor. Now,
when prices are a little easier, we
should make up for the years Of neg

Chinese Armies Stopped Fighting to
Let United States Vessel Pass
Down the River.

Ensign William 81. Galbraith, navi-
eating officer Of the United States de-
stroyer Hart, attached to the United
States Asiatic squadron in Chinese wa
tiers, in q letter tells Of the intensified
work placed on the hands Of the YES
sells Of the squadron in the Far East
by the operations Of the Chinese civil
war now in progress between the Pc
kingese and the Cantonese sections Of
the nation. When armies representing
these hostile sections approach cities
in which American citizens are in bust
ness there is much excitement OF the
part Of the Americans and they call
urgently for the protection of the fleet.
says the Columbus Dispatch.
Recently the Hart received a radio
gram call from an officer Of q United
States merchant vessel, stating that his
vessel 80 miles up one Of the Chinese
rivers a being detained. The captain
was anxious to put to sea, and would
the Hart e that 1t was permitted to
depart? The Hart got on the job at
once and found when the scene was
reached that there was no govern
mental authority holding the United
States ship up, but the Cantonese
army was drawn up on one side Of the
river and the Pekingese on the other
and q battle was In progress, with the
river, through which the United States
ship must pass, between them. Natu-
rally the captain did not fancy risking
the shots that were passing across the
channel. The respective commanders
kindly suspended the fighting until the
merchant vessel had passed.

as agreed.
To his disappointment, he found
that the aunt whom Milly was going
to visit had stopped over from a
train to take her home with her.
Amid the hustle of luggage and part
ing with half q dozen fond girl
friends, poor Harold had barely a
chance to hurriedly kiss his fiance
good-by on the depot platform.
Two letters came to Harold that
first week. Only n the second
week. IT
Harold WINGED wei the careless
tone Of the missive. It was still
harder to bear when succeeding let
tiers told Of gay times at her aunt's
home-plenty Of company, a merry
round Of parties, picnics and pleasure.
Then there was a week and no let
ter at all. It was Saturday after
noon, and the anxious lover went up
to the Wells home, hopeful Of some
news. AS he neared 1t he heard the
voices of Muly's sisters and some
friends on the side porch Of the
house. He was about to join them,
when his eye caught sight Of a figure
gliding in among the shrubbery
towards the little arbor in the garden.
"Millyl Millyl" cried Harold, his
eager steps overtaking her as she
sank to a seat in the arbor and COW
cred her face with her hands.
He sat down beside her, trembling
with his emotion. She did not shrink.
"Oh, Harold" she cried, take me
back"
Amid sobs and tears she confessed
it all a perverse maiden, piqued and
unstable, fooling her silly little heart
with the thought that she was teach
ing her lover a lesson" cheating her
self with the delusion of new faces.
II will never complain again." prom
Used Milly when they were alone
again. I'VE will have to wait to
make up what-what we gave to help
your poor friend, but I will be patient
and happy, Harold"

cried Harold brightly. young Greg
DRY paid me back that money last
week."
"Paid you back, Harold7"
Eyes, dear. The timely help I gave
him bridged a crisis in his career. He
went back home a humble prodigal.
His mother after a while is going to
start him in business, and If he holds
out she has asked me to become his
partner in an arrangement that means
double what l am getting now. It
will be June, Milly, after ALL"
