4 new rule making the ball dead"
after any free throw for basket, the
ball 10 he put in play by toss-up at
center would eliminate the free throw
lane and circle and help the game
materially.
This new rule would do away with
the struggle for position along the
free throw lane and the wild mass
lunge for the ball after the free throw
which generally promotes great
deal Of bodily contact and type of
play that is more football than any
thin; else.
Along these lines new rule that
would require, after IA held ball, the
bail being put in play from out Of
bounds instead of by tossup is
worthy of considerations Just who
would put the ball in play from out
Of bounds could he determined by
respective scores of each team or in
which half of floor the bah was de-

URGES MORE DRINK

It seems to me that we are laying a little too much stress upon the extraor- dinary, the colossal sobriety of the American athletes who are participat- ing in,the Olympic games. We are as- sured that they drink absolutely noth- ing mineral water; that they would faint at the mere sight of little glass of Bordeaux or champagne thatC for this reason, they are altogether, admir- able and worthy of being cast in bronze
 even read in n popular magazine recently that their athletic prowess was uniquely attributable to this strict, in- flexible sobriety.
 Certainly we are very wrong to scoff so insistently-and, sometimes, so stu pidly-at the dry regime in free Amer ica if this regime has such astonishing results; if this regime produces biceps, muscles, strength, courage, skill, speed, endurance, head work-in short, world champions. In fact, if this is so, we should not hesitate. We should stop joshing the Americans and should inn mediately adopt the aquatic regime our selves and forthwith renounce old Satan Pinard and all his works. We should dedicate ourselves body and soul to mineral water and other sugarde in- fusions.
 Or else, instead of going into rap lures over the dry libations of the American Olympic champions, we should react, as Frenchmen, against this un- just and dreary regime. We should defend our wine-also world cham pion-defend it even at the Olympic games, even in the .Colombes stadium.

SCIENCE cONQUERs FOG
With EIectrOfied Sand, Changes VapOr
 Into Refreshing Rain

As our round-the-world flyers ap- proach their own country, the authori- ties area becoming concerned to find a place where they can most safely alight. Coming as they will from the north, the natural landing place is somewhere on the coast of New England, which is alleged to be normally covered with a fog which no human eye can penetrate. The brave flyers must not be allowed to risk their necks in landing oh their na- tive soil, and it would be inconvenient to land on the top of somebody's house. And there is much concern.
 Happily, man is steadily increasing his control over nature, and it is stated that by spraying the very densest fog with electrified sand it can be changed into a delightful and refreshing rain which will make the homecoming of our wanderers pleasant and comfort able.
 Experiments have been going on for a long time and have been so satisfac- tory that the first public demonstra- tion is to be at the home landing of ouH flyers. A sand plane is being made and the sand is being prepared. There seems to be no doubt that the fog will be there and officials will be waiting with umbrellas for the flyers.-San Francisco Chronicles.

MO. sir, you cannot avoid the issue IN by leaving it up to me-" as you
 say.
 To put it plainly, the issue is Shall we find some better way of teaching our daughters the dignity of different kind of social conduct, Or shall we let them run wild? Or shall we use the fear of bodily pain as deterrent?
 I recommend the latter only when no other method can be found that see that if you train the girls to in- hibit certain responses to situations only by means of the fear of physical pain, how are they going to act when they grow up and get away from home and the rair brush?,
 It doesn't require Psychologist to answer that question, does it?-
 For the time being, the hairbrush method will succeed-yes. But what about later, when the girls have to decide for themselVes-when you are not there to paddle them?
 Both fear and love have been used to suppress certain responses and to encourage others. But I want now to call your attention to another method which is less often used but far more worthy than either ofsthe others. l refer to the process of developing in. the individual such a respect for himself or herself that neither fear of punish ment. now or hereafter, nor love of social esteem or flattery will cause him to deviate from the path which he has marked out for himself.
 Another thing which may help you. specifically: see to it that your daugh- ters have plenty of amusement in their own home, with not only you and your wife, but with other young people. Boys and girls aren't inher- entity, bad-they just want excitement, and if they don't get it in one form they are going to get, it in another. Young people have to blow off steam more often than we do-remember that.
 The one thing characteristic of this world is change. change, and still more change. The moleeule is not the inert stationary thing we once thought it to be, but is composed of small bits of energy in ceaseIess motion. No one of 'Hs can stay the onward march of events. The best we can do is to learn to regulate our lives in accordance with the principles on which the universe seems to be run.
 What I mean is this Don't you believe that your two little flappeF daughters are going straight to the devil. Every generation has thought that about the succeeding one. Human nature is getting better, ,syn the whole.
 Over in Germany, before the war, the whole landscape was clutteFed up with signs reading "Verboten'' (Forbid- den). We'll. what happened? A grand explosion. Too many Don'tsn are not good for any one, least of all for lively youngsters. Give them something to do, that's interesting or exciting, and nine tenths of your problems will disappear overnight.

in April that made but little growth and are still in the ground. VIII these make onions If allowed to remain in the soil?-E. M., Gadsden, Ala.
 A. It would be best to take them up and dry them in the shade for about month and then reset. They will make onions early next spring.
 Q. Does the soaking of cucumbers in soil water take the poison cut of them. My folks don't seem to be able to eat them without sickness following Mrs. A. B., Fairfield, Ala.
 A. There are many people who can not eat raw cucumbers, unless pickled. Slicing and soaking or washing in water for a short time does help.
 o. We don't seem to be able to grow snap beans in summer and fall. Can you tell us how it is done?-L. A., Warrior, Ala.
 A. The main factors for success are loamy fertile soil that holds mois- ture, deeper planting than usual, to be grown much thinner and avoid planting on ridges or beds. The plants must not be crowded and the soil never allowed to become hard Work often but never when the plants are wet with rain or dew.
 Q. Last winter a neighbor sent us several messes of endive to be cooked like other greens. We want to grow some and ask to know when to plant and how to grow?-Mrs. M., Cordova, Ala.
 A. Endive may be grown like lettuce or spinach. The seed are difficult to get up in hot weather but the plant is hardy; may be planted now or as late as October.

QUESTIONS AND ANsWERs

v. Can one grow crop of squash and cucumber for market planted this late and do you think it would pay meY H. T., Wylam, Ala.
 A, There is plenty of time for ma turing and there would be no trouble to sell The difficulties are dry hot weather and the squash bug a little spotted or striped cucumber beetle. Both pests are difficult to control with late crops, but it can be done.
 Q. am told if I cut my tomatoes back they will start new growth and produce a late crop. Do you think it will pay to do so? Mrs. A., Boaz, Ala
 A. I think it very doubtful, much, of course, would depend on favorable weather conditions. Some of the old plants if not diseased or injured by root troubles will live on and bear very late.
 o. have some freesia bulbs that I saved after blooming the past spring. When should these be planted again to produce very early in the spring? Miss A. T.
 A. It is permissible to plant right away. They are naturally slow to flower. The time required depending altogether on method of growing as WcAA dS VdfAelSs 4ncy Aihe d COOI pldce, plenty of fresh air and not too much water
 0. Most of my corn this year is planted in soy beans and was read ing the other day that the growing of soy beans in corn greatly dimished the yield. This is news to me and l don't believe it. What is your opinion on the subject? T. N, Garden City, Ala.
 A. There has been many experiments along this line, but no definite eonclu- sion reached. It does seem that under certain soil conditions that soy beans grown in corn may slightly reduce the corn yield, but certainly the value of the soy crop, no matter how or for what purpose used, will overbalance any doubtful decrease in corn yield.
 Q. Do you advise the cultivation of Mexican June corn after it has begun to tassel, even though the weather be extremely hot? N. E., Flomaton, Ala.
 A. Yes, would, providing the rows are wide enough and blowing be done very shallow in order not to disturb the much needed root system. It is im- portant, however, during extreme hot dry weather to exercise caution in culti- vating corn. Surface stirring in order to conserve what little moisture is left is very beneficial for all classes of growing crops.
 o. Would the sweep peppers have time to mature crop for market If good, hardy plants were set out as late as the middle of August? W. C., At more, Ala.
 A. Located as far south as you are, the early sorts, such as Ruby King. would perhaps succeed, providing it be seasonabIe and frost does not make its appearance much sooner than usual.
 0. Sometime ago l destroyed all signs of caterpillars on my nut trees but notice now that the young worms are again at work on the trees as wei as other shrubbery. Is this new brood and what method of destruction would you adviser J. F., Columbus Georgia
 A. There are always two or more broOds of caterpillars. The one now ar bearing is from eggs recently hatche out. When they are small, the bes method of destruction is to clip off the

Are Daughters Too Old To
 Be Spanked3

T have two daughters aged seventeen and fifteen who are typical flappers, keeping late hours, smoking, drinking and having little respect for parental authority. Dur. 4 ing my wife's absence my sister ap- piled a Eiairbrush in the good old fashioned way. Both girls behavior was perfect during the rest of my sisters stay.
 When, however, my wife re- turned, she was unwilling to apply corporal punishment. But lately my daughters show signs of re. turning to their old ways. My wife quotes your column to sup. port her contention that they are too old to be spanked. So we are going to leave the matter, up to you.
 Cont you think that in view of the success achieved through the previous spankings, and the will ingness of the girls to submit to theln--for they said they were glad they had been padded, as they could not help misbelaving when they were not punished that sine is making g mistake not to apply the hairbrush when the occasion requires it2'
