very beautiful. This flower grows
about five feet tall, and makes an ex-
cellent background for the rear of the
border. Be sure to get-' the early
blooming variety, as the others will
seldom bloom here before the frost.

The above ten flowers will make a
beautiful garden in themselves, and
a packet of each can be purchased for
total expenditure Of about one dol
lar. These ten are about the easiest
to grow of anything. If you have
never gardened before, try them this
summer.
You may wonder at some things I
have not mentioned, better known
than some that have, especially
sweet peas, asters and pansies. AS
famous advertisement says, "There's
a reason" I have selected the things
that grow most easily of all. Don't
believe everything the catalogues
say about flowers "easy to grow" In
the first place, every catalogue is
written for a more southern climate,
and what it says does not always APP
ply here. Secondly, the catalogue
speaks in terms of those who have
had experience in growing flowers.
You will do best to tackle only the
easiest the first season; after that, as
you gain experience, you can make
experiments and start to raise those
flowers that do not grow so willingly
Asters and sweet peas are both
especially beautiful, and not very hard
to raise, but not easy. Asters take
long time to bloom. Sweet peas need
to be planted very early, just as soon
as the ground can be worked. and it
is hard to make them do we'll in hot
weather. If you must have pansies.
buy the plants, but you will find
that they will not do well in hot
When the flowers begin to bloom,
keep them picked off. Flowers are
almost the only thing l know where
you can eat your cake and have it
| too. In fact, the more you pick the
more they will i bloom. A flowers
mission in life is to bear seed. Once
allowed to do that, it uses its strength
to develop the seed, and stops bloom
ing. If you don't let it produce seed,
but cut off the flowers as fast as they
come, it will keep on blooming in its
effort to produce seed.
You ought to keep the garden well
weeded, but until you have learned to
know the foliage of the flowers you
will have to get someone who does to
direct you, or you will be taking out
flowers as we'll as weeds. Experience
will in time give you a gardening
sixth sense, 50 that you know the diff
ference between a flower and weed,
as if by instinct, when both are very
small. But nothing but experience
will do this.
Now comes the big question of wat
ering. The garden books will tell
you, quite truly, that it is worse to
water spasmodically than not at all,
because you train the flowers to ex-
pect it so that they cannot stand the

CHILDREN TO BE SOUGHT
IN HIS APARTMENT HOUSE
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associa ted Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. January A.
Failure Of H. G. Roskind to find an
apartment house where he could bring
his little daughter caused him to de-
eide upon constructing such a build
ing here and renting only to tenants
with children.
Mr. Roskind, who has spent several
! weeks hunting a suitable place for
himself. his wife and little Margar-
eta. was told that children's destruc-
| tive tendency made them undesirable
as tenants. Finally, he resolved that
Margaretta should live in an apart
ment all her own, the "Margaretta." a
| sort of glorified home. where other
children twill be required and where
they will share with her playground
and wading pool in connection with
| the apartment
| The walls of the "Margaretta" are
to be finished with a specially pre-
pared plaster. which is durable and
practically impervious to the kicks of
the most irrepressible small boy. The
floors and woodwork, TOO. without sac
rificing beauty Of finish. will be forti-
fled against the wheels of "chu chu
trains" and the imprints of dirty
hands. Six families will occupy the
! new apartment house.

WAR VETERANS PROTEST
LOSS OF COMMISSIONS
Letter Sent President Condemns
Gen. Sawyer's Plan to Cut Pay in
Public Health Service.

Protest against a plan of Brig. Gen.
Sawyer for relief from duty as officers
and reductions of salaries of former
service men now holding reserve coIn-
missions in the public health service
was filed with the President today in
a letter from Edwin S. Rettelheim. jr.,
chairman of the legislative committee
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
According to Mr.. Rettelheim. who was
in conference with Surgeon General
Cumming Of the public health service
this morning, the proposal of Brig.
Gen. Sawyer. which has been placed
before both the President and the
Secretary CT Treasury. would affect
0n0 former service men of the
Medical Corps now holding commits
sions as reserves in the public health
service.
Surgeon General Cumming. Mr.. Bet
telheim said. is opposed to the plan.
and believes it would disrupt the
medical arm of his service.
The plan according to Mr.. Bettel-
heim, contemplates reduction OF sal
ary of approximately 20 per cent and
the taking away of commissions from
the reserve medical officers. many OF
whom served overseas. In case a va
cancy results from refusal to accent
this pronosition on the part OF the
medical attaches of the public health
service. Mr.. Bettelheim said. it is con-
templated to fill the ranks with ply
sic'ans from civil life.
The letter to President Harding, In
part. stated:
IT am sure that this is quite con-
trary to the administrations avowed
policy in respect to giving the dis
abled former service men the best OF
treatment. With this thought in
mind. we are taking the liberty OF
addressing you. urging that no such
order he approved or be permitted to
be nut into effect"
Mr.. Bettelheim. as representative OF
the organization. signed the letter.

DE VALERA CHANGES MANNER
BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN,


By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1922.
DUBLIN, Ireland. January 4-The
Christmas recess has not improved
the prospects of Irish peace. 1t was
evident Immediately when the dali
resumed its sessions that tempers had
been sharpened. Speaker after speak,
er gets up and admits that he believes
that at the moment the people by a
large majority favor peace. They at
tribute this to war WEAKNESS and de-
clare their intention of ignoring it.
No single member of the dali opposed
to the treaty will admit that his con-
stituents have any right to override
his views. Quotations from the ad-
dress Of Edmund Burke to the elec-
tors of Bristol as the right of a rep
resentative to Independent judgment
resolutions of public bodies in favor
Of the treaty are resented as attempts
to stampede the country away from
|republicanism, from doctrines freely
made.
There was a marked change in the
manner and even the appearance Of
Eemonn De Valera. In the sittings be-
fore Christmas he seemed feverisn,
irritable and not sure Of himself. He
was constantly on his feet protesting
against misinterpretation. Now. he
has become far quieter, more self
confident and behaves like q man who
has taken a resolution Of which he
has counted the cost His restlessness
has disappeared and he never inter-
yenes unless It is essential. His chief
colleagues have taken the cue from
him and remain equally impassive. On
the other side Arthur Griffith and
Michael Collins are easily provoked
and Collins is especially impetuous IN
his retorts.
