and will come into flower at this sea-
son year after year, with only few
days variation. So generous are many
of the perennials, however, that they
continue Towering from the time that
they first come into bloom until frost,
So you see it is quite possible to
know that you will have flowers every
month throughout the summer and
fall from earliest spring until after
frost.
In fact some of the perennials are so
hardy that they will go right on bloom
ing even after hard frost!
In the following list 1 have men
toned only few of the many splendid
hardy perennials which may be OBJ
tanned at a very moderate price and
are easily grown.
The kinds which I have mentioned
are absolutely hardy, not only in their
capacity to withstand the coolest win
ter, but also in their ability to look
after themselves with the least pos
sible attention.
The times given for their periods Of
bloom are approximate; they may be
a little earlier in the far south or in a
forward season, or 9, little later in

ONE REEL YARNS
TALE OF a TOOTH

Elsie had to have a tooth pulled.
She had put 1t Off just as long as she
possibly could. A new one was COM
ing in at the back, and the old one,
though It was loose, did not seem TO
want to let &C.
Every one made suggestions. Her
father offered to get 1t out in a jify
with a pair OF pincers, but Elsie
screamed at. the very thought. Her
older brother told her to tie string
to the doorknob and put the other end
around her tooth. and he'd open the
door FOR her. but Elsie shook her head.
She couldn't bear being hurt, she told
them. Why, even q little scratch on
her hand made her sick all over.
Her mother sensibly decided that
she should 60 to a dentist and have

Elsie could think about nothing else.
She had never been to 8 dentist be-
fore, but she had heard all about what
dreadful places they were, with all
their shining knives and pliers and
grinders.

friends went with her TO help her for

after the operation. Elsie got into the

THE SOLDIERS AND PROHIBITION

To say prohibition was slipped over
on the country while the soldiers were
abroad is just as offensive to tho re-
turned soldiers as IL is to the prohibits
tionists. The vast majority OF them
object seriously to being elassed with
the rag-tag and bobtail Of the city
slums who, under the leadership OF
would-be political plunderers. are try
ing to nuilify the prohibition law.
Thirty-two of the fortyeight states
had passed state wide prohibition laws
before a man went to France. The
young men who afterwards fought our
battles were, in considerable part, boys
who had participated in making these
states dry.
The strict physical standard for en-
listments and the draft got much
larger proportion of boys from prohi-
billion homes than from homes where
drink and loose moral standards had
given a poor physical standard TO the
children.
The congress of the United States
had passed eight prohibition acts of
major Importance before a man sailed
for Europe II had even provided for
prohibition for the soldier himself,
while slackers were getting their beer
as usual, and not a murmur came from
the man in uniform.
The congress which submitted con-
stitutional prohibition was elected five
months before the declaration OF war,
and the young men who went into the
army participated in the electing Of a
dry majority OF more than tWo-thirds
OF these congressman.
There were less than 100000 men
abroad when the house and senate
completed the process of submission
of constitutional prohibition.
Almost all the young men in the
army participated in the election Of
legislators who voted TO ratify the
constitutional amendment.
The boys in the American army saw
much to admire in Europe and formed
many warm friendships there, but
they certainly did not admire the
method of handling the drink traffic
and immortality in European cities
Concerning this fact there is no doubt,
for three out of four of them say so
frankly They do not admire the Eu-
ropean way Of dealing with the drink
traffic and prostitution, simply be-
cause they have not been accustomed
to those policies.
A great many American men in the
army abroad suffered grave injury
because of these policies. They know
it and their friends know it. The moral
standards of the American army were
as high as those of any similar group
of men ever gotten together. But the
fact that there were 227,s61 venereal
infections in the American army was
largely due to the exciting influence
of drink, and those, themselves, want
prohibition standard for their own
home.
What the soldiers really think OF
prohibition was clearly evidenced in
the Ohio election after their return,
when q majority of more than quar-
ter of million was rolled up endors-
Ing the federal prohibition law, des-
pite the fact that prohibition had been
originally enacted in that state by
ma tority about 100000 smaller.
DO not try to saddle SUM politics
on the soldiers.

HATE AND ENVY.

The two chief obstacles in the path
of those who would make the W. Id
perfect are hate and envy. Hate and
envy are cardinal sins; hate and envy
are universal; hate and envy gum up
the works every time an effort is made
to abolish strife and persuade the lamb
to lie down within reach of the lions
paw. since these two sins are so com
mon ana 80 hateful, Il appears to a
man up = tree that some effort should
be made 10 abolish them. We have
leagues and societies and clubs and
organizations OF one sort and another
designed TO abolish almost everything;
why is no effort made to place these
two in the discard? The answer is
simple. Hate and envy afford little
enjoyment.

WANT APPROPRIATE TERM FOR
RECKLESS DRIVERS

Believing that there is need for an
outstanding and pointed term for reck-
less automobile drivers--a term that
will at once convey ridicule and oppro-
hrium-the American Automobile as
ISOLATION has therefore inaugurated a
campaign to unearth fitting sobri-
quet.
The plan OF the A. A. A. is brand
the reckless motorist with a name that
will be as comprehensive and become
as popular as the term Jay walker"
which is now applied to the careless
pedestrian. For such term the or
ganization is Offering se5 in cash. The
hunt is to be conducted in contest form
and all persons having what they con-
slider suitable appelation for reck-
les. motorists are invited to submit
their choice to the national headquar-
tiers OF the A A. A. at Washington.
In statement covering its reasons
for seeking brand for reckless mo-
florists, the A, A. A. sets forth;
The American Automobile associa-
ton wants name which will brand
reckless motorists just as .jay-wallIer'
brands careless pedestrians A jay
walker is a person not sufficiently civ
ilized to cross the street at the proper
crossings. He or she endangers public
safety as well as obstructing traffic.
The walker deserves prosecution,
but even more effective is the ridiculs
carried by this term.
The millions of orderly and careful
motorists in the country suffer be-
cause of the few thousands who are
rowdy and careless. A name is wanted
to show these drivers that they do not
belong" Police records show that a
heavy percentage of accidents are due
TO the recklessness of pedestrians, but
that places a further responsibility
upon the motorist to take extra pre-
cautions for safety.
The contest, which is open to all,
will close May Is and the award will
be made MaM 90. Persons wishing to
submit names should address Contest

EAST TEXAS AND PAVED ROADS.
by Harral 3. Ayres.)

The Old Spanish Trail across Texas
involves 1000 miles-one-third the
distance across the continent. And
Texas divided into two parts of diff
fering types of country.
East Texas from the Louisiana line
(the city Of Orange) to San Antonio,
$40 miles, is the plains section, flat III
the east and a rolling country as San
Antonio is approached. East Texas is
a country of small farms.
West Texas, 600 miles from San An
tonic to Ell Paso, is the hill country,
with mountains 400 miles west Of San
Antonio. This is land of goat, sheep
and cattle ranches. East Texas has the
rainfall of the gulf coast: west Texas
is a dryer area. Road problems are
very different in the two sections.
Two years ago a connected highway
across Texas was unknown. There was
a tumble of crooked country roads in
the east. The west was a medley of
ranch trails. Automobile travel across
Texas was a problem. Then the scien-
tific weaving together OF an overland
highway across Texas was begun by
the old Spanish Trail membership.
The East Texas division is now all
financed except for one county and lit
tie parts of several others, and big

was shaking all over with nervous
fear when finally found myself alone
after Dickys proposal to change the
wrist watch he had given me for one
with a luminous dial.
The watch 1 wore was not the one
he had given me, but a watch with a
case specially designed and substituted
by Lillian, for the safe keeping OF the
secret paper my father had sent to
her from South America. The con-
seriousness that I had deliberately ca -
joled my husband into believing my
reluctance to take off the watch was
due to love for his gift, contributed as
much to my nervous tremors as did
my conviction that the watch, despite
Lillian's assertion, was not a safe
place for the secreting Of the paper.
Dicky's fondness for setting, winding
up and otherwise tinkering with time
pieces is almost on absesssion. His
mother has told me numberless stories
of his exploits in taking part the fam
lily clocks, and incidentally failing to
put them together again; failures,
however, that never discouraged him.

before he would examine the watch

But I knew the answer, even as 1 put
the mental query. Lillian is so force
full, so brilliant, that she overlaws me
a bit, and 1 never dream of question
ing her judgment.
But here was an instance in which

and secure my own watch as soon as

with me, and decide with Lillian what
