Although there are probably 5000
distinct species of grasses in the world,
only about 60 of these are important
cultivated plants. Not more than 70
wild species are abundant or valuable
in any one locality With an illustrated
guide to help, one can easily learn to
distinguish many of the grasses, both
cultivated and wild. Elaborate in
struments or detailed knowledge of
structures of the grasses are unneces-
sary. To aid in making these dis
tinctions, the United States Depart

whose work is reviewed in a recent

Electric Prayer Wheels.

Motor-driven prayers have become
popular with the Buddhist priests OF
Simla, the summer capital of India.
Formerly the limit of invention all
lowed lazy priests to tack pieces OF
paper, on which were written the per-
petual prayers, onto great prayer
wheels. The power for turning these
wheels was supplied from the many
small mountain streams about the
capital. When a firm of British engi-
neers came with proposal to divert
these little streams and merge them
into a waterpower project, the priests
melted the people against them until
finally an item was included in the
franchise stating THAT electric motors
and power were to be supplied to
perpetually turn the prayer wheels

Good Plan to Remove Windows From

In the summer time it is well to re-
move the windows from the poultry
houses and substitute muslin-covered
frames, or fine meshed wire. The wide
mesh wire allows the entrance of spar
rows, and with sparrows come mites
and often chickenpox. They are rob
bers of the mash box, and pests.

THE GALE RY GODS

Ne loved the drama. and we paid
Our hard-earned quarters to behold
It's purple and its red brocade,
And live the stories that 1t told;
We did not sit in easy chairs.
But madly raced four flights Of stairs
TO struggle for a seat from which
We could look down upon the rich.
We gloried in triumphant truth.
Beholding it through eyes OF youth.
But am older now and sit
No longer thrilled by all I see.
I find less sparkle in the wit
The plays not what 1t used to be.
Today view through eyes of Age
The passing gloriea of the stage,
And having reached the aisles Of ense
! am more difficult to please.
Age, surfeited with pleasure, mods
At joys which thrill the gallery gods.

USE OLD CARPETS AND RUGS
Discarded Articles May Be Rewoven to Provide Suitable Coverings
 for Home Floors.

Providing floor coverings for the home is often question of making the best of what materials are at hand One way of doing this, the United States Department of Agriculture points out, is to have new rugs woven from old woolen carpets and rugs too shabby to be used as such. Factories for doing the work may be found in many localities. The old material is cut into strips about three-fourths of an inch wide, which, when sewed to- gether and twisted, make a cord some what like chenille and form the filling of the new rug. Cotton string is used for the warp. These rugs are heavy and soft, alike on both sides and dur able, provided they are cleaned care fully. They are generally rather neutral in color and without definite design; borders, however, may be. woven from strips of carpet of solid color, or figured carpet may be dyed for this purpose. In general, about 61a pounds of old carpet is required to make square yard of the rewoyen fabric, depending, of course. on the weight of the old material.

REMEDY IN YOUR HANDS

1 have been asked many times, and particularly since this series began: What is the remedy for the condition and situation of government business that you have described? What can we the average man or woman with cut influence, and with no Knowledge of politics, what can we do about it!'
 Well. the answer is that you can do everything about 1t. The remedy lies wholly within your own hands, as have tried to point out in each one of the articles that have preceded this one. It is remedy easy to pre- scribe but, I confess, difficult to put into effect.
 Difficult, I mean, in the sense that you will have to give up time from your own expressing private affairs to pay some attention to what you prob ably think of as public affairs and. as such, not concerning you. The whole point I have to make Is that public affairs are your affairs.
 do not suggest that you go into politics. l do not suggest that you attend political meetings. I do sug gest that you take an interest. a direct personal interest, in the business of government as distinguished from the politics of government.
 A part of the remedy you ask for the conduct of the business of govern ment has been applied when the facts and the conditions are spread broad cast and made known to every tax rayer. Bad conditions are in a way to be remedied when they become known.
 But some hundreds of you have written me and asked: How can we help? What can we dor" Let's take e concrete case.
 Congress has committed itself to the policy of building twenty first-class battleships in the next few years. Armed and equipped those hattleships will cost in the neighborhood of S45,- GOO. GOO each. That will make total cost of 5000, 100000; that is, just short of billion dollars.
 Do you approve that expenditure? Do you think It wise and necessary Do you think we ought 10 spend our money that way? Do you think we ought to spend so or 90 per cent of our total national Income for wars. mast. present and prospective? That is what we are doing. If you approve of 1t you have only to sit still and say nothing. If you disapproye of it., let your congressman know. You live in congressional district and every two years you send man here to Washington to attend 10 your public business. Do you know him? Do you know what he Is doing here? your state has two senators. who also |. ..sseAl .C4 Aere. | ..-ss u Aes

represent you fairly, you can keep them at home. Whatever majority of you want you can nave.
 To this moment majority have approved. at least by silence, the great military expenditures that have been made from the money you have paid in taxes. If now you have come to the conclusion that it is too much, you have only to say so.
 Do you realize that this conference on the limitation of armament which President Harding called arose fun damentally out of the circumstance that all of the so-called big nations are paying more than they can afford to pay by way of preparation for war?
 The endeavor to find formula to limit armaments is another way of saying that the nations are trying to find way to save money. Since the war the great powers are all living beyond their means. All of them are in debt All of them, except ourselves, owe more than they can pay. In all of them, including the United States. government expenses are running be yond government income; A nation can no more stand that sort of thing than private person or a private business.
 If you will devote a half hour or an hour every evening 10 thinking about and talking about public busi- ness you will be amazed at the prompt response you will get If there is any question you want to ask, write to your congressman or to either one of your senators. That will cost you two cents for postage stamp, and 1t won't cost him anything to reply. for his letters go through the mails free. That is one way of helping to remedy the present condition.
