Grass Cuttings May
Be Left on the Lawn

For the best lawn, care should begin
by raking the litter of early In the
spring either with a wooden-toothed
rake or with an iron rake with small
potato on each end so the teeth viii
not remove the dry grass clippings
about the roots OF the plants, advises
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
Cuttings should begin early with the
lawn mower set as high as possible
and should be repeated frequently. The
clippings should all remain upon the
lawn. The more of these clippings
that can be retained about the roots OF
the grass the better the chances for
good lawn.
Watering should be delayed as long
MS possible but when II becomes neces-
sary It should be applied in spray in
one place for four to six hours and
then in another place. Six hours after
watering the ground should be wet four
inches deep in heavy soil and six inches
In lighter ones. Another watering
should not be needed for a week.
As growth begins to slacken in early
summer 1t may be stimulated by the
application OF one pound Of nitrate OF
soda or sulphate Of ammonia to each
1000 square feet Of lawn at intervals
NJ month. The former in particular
should only be applied when the soil
Is wet after rain or heavy watering
or else should be applied in solution.

Family Condolences
Need Fostering;
Have Fine Effect

Many have not the pleasure
of looking back upon afternoons
of family talks, discussions and
amusements. Too busy to waste
time with the children, many
parents have done little to devel-
op the happy home idea. And
then they wonder why the home
is forsaken for the movies and
the dance halls. Having done
nothing novel to make the home
come first in the line of at
fractions, the children seek self
expression elsewhere.
When confidential ch ats,
friendly arguments and discus
sions of current affairs are in
dulged in by all members of the
family the ideal of what a home
should be realized. AS it is now,
every member lives in a sepa-
rate and totally different world.
No one understands the real self
of any other member. The
morning offers no time for the
building Of family friendship
breakfast, even if shared by the
family, is a rushed affair, incon-
ducive to confidential talk, and
the evening is devoted to theater
parties, dances and affairs out
side of the home. The afternoon
is about the only time for
mothers and children to get to-
gether, and yet how many
mothers are at home when the
children come bursting into the
house after school to tell all
that's happened? How many
make a point of eating lunch
with the children every day so
that they can shape their man.
ners and direct their converse
ton, and how many make break
fast a happy meal, thus helping
to send the children out into the
world in a cheerful frame of
mind and with a happy outlook
for the day?
The story hour was not sem
timental institution. 1t had a
sound psychological basis, al
though our mothers and our
grandmothers may not have
known it. Bedtime, the twilight
hour, is time not only for sto-
ries, but for an exchange of conf
dences, an accounting of the
days sadness and gladness, of its
good and bad deeds. 1t is a time
for resolutions, for helpful sug-
gestions of behavior for the NOR
row. There is much more to be-
ing tucked into bed than a mere
arrangement of the bed clothes,

WHAT BANKERS THINK
OF THE LABOR BANKS

With the advent of the labor bank
spread speculation as to what labor
turning capitalist would mean
By bold calculations the most i'm
aginative pictured a coup detat in
finance wrought by the mobilization
of labor's savings and strategic in
vestments in the key industries
Prophecies OF disaster came from the
quarters of the other extremists.
Taking the middle ground was the
great group OF conservative bankers
who saw the bank as a link-rather
than a wedgeEbetween capital and
labor 1t was their opinion that the
experience gained in the manage
ment of the labor banks would bring
a real understanding of the business
of handling money and investments
and develop a knowledge of the prob
lens of capital BY making capital
lists out of the workers, directing the
investment of their funds into safe
securities instead of wildcat stocks
and by promoting thrift, they saw
good flowing from the enterprise. With
the mystery taken out of banking
the bubble of fabulous earnings
pricked, and the right OF an individ
ual to his accumulated savings firm
Established. 1t was patent that the
radicals would be disarmed Of theil
thunder against the much-assaile6
capitalistic system. On the other
hand, It was conceded that, with the
rise of labor as factor in finance,
opportunities for the abuse Of the
worker by the bludgeon of cruel
credit control would be more re-
stricted.
IN their appraisal of the movement
the events of the past two years have
largely justified the view of the con
servatives, although the time is still
too short to permit a mature judg-
ment. 1t is quite clear. however, that
labor has not revolutionized banking.
the control of credit has not been di
verified from its former channels
