RAISING FLOWERS

Il have never known Of divorce in the family Of
a successful commercial flower grower says Miss
Martha c. Gunterberg Chicago whose busi-
keeps her in touch with this class of people. 81
think there are more silver and golden wedding cee-
brations among hortcultursts than in any other call
ing. know nearly every big plant grower in Ameri
ca. Their flowers keep them happy.
It sounds reasonable. Flowers are lovely, love
is fowerlike and whatever the poets may have left
unsaid the subject florists have taken of.
Say it with flowers has become of our national
slogans and may yet start the divorce rate down hill
Hate, distrust or dislike has small chance in
home full of flowers Evil passions have small chance
in the mind of any person growing beautiful flowers
This is gospel very much worth preaching, for
its benefit the souls of converts and also to their
bodies. Work in garden is conducive not only to
happiness, individual and matrimonial, but conducive
health and long life This latter fact accounts part
~ for those silver and golden weddings

GEOLOGY AND POWER PLANTS

The Commonwealth Edison Co. of Chicago and the
early Glacial period of the Chicago region may appear
to have little relation to each other. But when the
power company wanted to know where it should place
its ground connections for electric currents and ghtn
ming arresters it called in the government geological
survey to help.
ground connection which is usually an iron
pipe driven into the ground must reach moist place
to be effective In sandy areas, therefore, it has to
be driven deeper than in places where the ground
water level is higher The location of sandy other
special soils is not easily discovered in big city where
the ground is rather thoroughly covered with buildings
and pavements concealing the soil.
Some time ago the geological survey of the De-
partment of the Interior saudied all the Chicago
gion, mapping ancient shore lines of glacial lakes To-
eating abandoned beach ridges and other deposits.
With these maps in hand the public utilities company
found it comparatively simple to plot the areas in
which may have to ground pipes so cent long
than those generally used in other parts of the city,
When the geological survey was made there were
undoubtedly many persons who regarded the geolog
lists with considerable They couldn't any
practical for such scientific researches. But
plorng the Arctic, scaling high mountains traversing
formidable deserts tropical junges, delvng into
cient ruins and similar scientific pastimes and pursuits
all have their to those who wise enough 10
recognize them.

NEW FEDERAL TAXES

Senate proposal to tax radio sets and supplies Radio
fans and dealers not appeased by the statement
that the tax will be paid by the manufacturers and
absorbed by them. The radio fans, being ntelli-
gent lot of citizens know that manufacturers taxes
almost invariably passed on and the ultimate
is lucky if the original tax is not multiplied be-
fore it reaches him.
1t seems odd that the Senate finance committee
should have decided to impose this radio tax at the
time that cut the automobile tax Radio, if not
quite necessary the automobile nevertheless plays
great and increasing part in the life of the nation,
for and instruction. It's educational value
is greater than that of any other fad in history
The tax is wrong in principle too, is the tax on
automobiles because it means added and discrni-
natory levy industries already paying their regular
share of taxes.

International Bible Students Association has started
broadcasting the Bible and its Interpretation of the
And what is the result? Radio fans are very
mad-at least in the vicinity of the broadcastng sta
ton, which is on Staten Island n. Y.
1t is powerful station, as powerful perhaps as
that from which Wilbur Glenn Voliva broadcasts his
familiar programs from Zion City, Ill. And owners of
radio sets for distance around complain that the
station simply BLANKETS the air. that they cannot
tune out the religion and tune in the jazz and oratory
that they want. They especially bitter because,
they say the station is always going"
Manifestly, religion doesn't do person any good

frequent doses of genuine entertainment.
