In THE GARDEN WITH BURBANK

after the posts are boxed in?'
That would look very WE'LL" agreed
Mr.. Burbank, ''if the strips were l
inch wide and the squares measured
about 10 inches. Then the lattice and
the posts could be painted a dark
green or. soft brown, which might
set off better the roses and vines"
we might even have a fruit tree
trained against the wall fence, as in
English gardens said, with increas.
ing enthusiasm.
Dwarf fruit trees could be planted
at each post. or berries, but always
on. the sunny side of the yard" eau.
toned Mr.. Burbank. "And the lattice
should be 3 or 4 inches out from
the fence for ventilation and in the
case of grape vines it should be even
farther"
What should go on the shady
side?"
English ivy, periwinkle or myrtle,
and if not too shady, Virginia creeper
or Boston ivy. And, as / said, the
fence may be built up higher and pos
sible unsightly surroundings shut out.
And on the other hand, if there be
another garden or a clump of trees
near by or bit of view, this outside
beauty may very well be included in
your own garden by making vistas
through the trees or vines.'

Back Yards Beautiful.

II begin to see possibilities in back
yard gardening" l conceded, but
what are YOU going to do with the
backyard fence, Mr.. Burbank"
BY this time Mr.. Burbank was thor
oughly enjoying the task of untan-
Cling difficulties, and ne said at once:
Where the back yard is inclosed
by a brick or cement wall the matter
is simple enough, but where it is of
rough unpainted lumber, with the
posts on the inside"
1T is uncompromisingly ugly 1
said.
1T is not beautiful conceded Mr..
Burbank, but it may be made so in
more ways than one. First, the posts
can be boxed in with eight-inch boards
and with a 10-inch square board on
top for finish.
ION this may be placed an orna-
ment of some kind. or small box filled
with potting soil and planted with
trailing vines, such as naSturtium, ivy
geranium, vinca major myrtle). or
even clematiS paniculata, which re-
joices in the name of Virgins Bower,
and whose delicate trailing branches
may be trained along the fence or
trellis, and whose clouds of white
bloom in Spring are a joy"
How would a trellis look above this
homely fence-or a band of square
lattice work?"
Very WE'LL agreed Mr.. Burbank.
Indeed, the portion of the fence
above the crosspieces may be sawed
out in curves, or increased in height
by a trellis or by narrow palings, or
by an open, well spaced lattice.
"Or, if the gardener must be his
own carpenter, it might be simpler to
extend the posts above the fence and
stretch heavy wire or wire netting be-
tween them, and on this vines or
climbing roses may be trained.
II begin to realize that it is a mat
ter of a little mechanical ingenuity
and planning" I said, 'and | have
suggestion to add Could not the en-

for high blood pressure, and glycosuria
means SuEar-glucoSe-in the urine.)
Ten of the 46 bad risks had no
symptoms. They would count them
selves well. That is because folks
don't know what health means, and
don't see the wisdom of running to a
doctor until they get so sick they
can't run at all. I'll wager my job
that the 10 bad risks that had no
symptoms could not run mile in any
time. lot of people who are equally
bad risks and have no present Symp
toms ought to know that a healthy
adult not over so years of age should
be able to run mile ad lib, but don't
know whether they could do 1t, be-
cause 1t Is such an undignified thing
to try. Imagine a refined lady of
considerable heft, or a high tension
gent. running along the street to try
this out-why, the cop at the first
corner would probably arrest the nut
as suspicious character. Dignity is
deadly evil which tends to grow on
one, once you give it a start.
High blood pressure or hyperion

feature of cardiovascular degeneration

Walk and Save Your Life.

Really big business men and women
take time to play. cost what it may.
The little fellow can't see it that way.
The best doctors give a lot of time
to study, being great readers of the
current medical literature, attendants
at medical society meetings and visit
ors in clinics and postgraduate insti-
tutionS. The little fellow is too busy
to squander any time on these things.
Now, then, how is your blood pres
sure? Well, anyway, listen to this
striking observation made by DIR.
Henry K. Mohler in a study of hyper
of 46 cases: 'Forty-five of the 46 pa
tients, when they came under our OBJ
servation, ranged from l per cent to
90 per cent overweight"
The 46 patients had not only high
blood pressure but also too much sugar
in the blood. All had some sugar in
the urine, but in only 16 was the con-
dition considered fully developed dia-
betes. Twelve had albumen and hy-
aline casts in the urine, and four
showed albumen with hyaline and
granular casts. These casts pretty
certainly indicate nephritis, Brights S
disease.
The high blood pressure in these 46
patients was not due to too much
sugar in the blood and is not a con-
slant finding in diabetes. Just what
did 1t mean, then? DR.. Mohler doesn't
speak with too much conviction about
that, but he conveys good hint when
he says: These patients were in
formed by us of the dangers of obesity
and overeating, with the attendant re-
suits of apprehension and glycosuria,
and advised to consult their physi-
clans, that their diets might be regu-

good-looking wrap and a light and

Sport Clothes Essential.
People. in preparing for steamer
travel, do it somewhat differently to-
day from a few years ago. There was
a time when ''old, clothes for ship
board" was the motto to some, and
they We're packed in trunk and left
checked at the dock until needed for
a return passage. The thing has been
made more natural now. In the main
you dress for your nicer occasions as
If YOU were at home or in the country.
Only the ultra smart try to parade a
different costume every day, sport
Clnlhe are the essentials, in whatever
coIors or company you travel. A suit
has its definite place in the wardrobe.
The kind of waists you wear with it

needs, if 1t is not a one-piece frock
With coat. There should be several
tailored waists and at least one of
beaded georgette, crepe de chine or
printed silk.
Hats Must be Small.
If you are inclined toward large
hats, you had better curb this incli-
nation on shipboard. Close hats are
the vogue. A close felt or straw in a
sport model will serve you most often
and with smartest effect. A scarf
there should be, neither large nor
long, but gaily patterned to make
note of color on the breeze when it
threatens to snatch it from your neck.
Footwear.
Shoes are such a nuisance to carry
around with you and so heavy that it
is verv nice to be able to get the
effect of variety in the colorful stock
ings one wears. With stockings well
chosen and matched. one could almost
get along with one pair of dressy,
black shoes, one of semi-dress white,
one gray pair and a pair of brown
sport. But such moderation in foot
wear is only desirable when the trip
is to be brief. If there is any likeli-
hood that your stay will outlast the
wearing capacity of your shoes, you
had better have some extra pairs to
depend upon, as 1t is not so easy to buy
satisfactory shoes abroad as 1t is in
America

Smart Dressing for Ocean Trips

be varied according to the various
hours and occasions which demand

Dressing for Weather.

On shipboard one dresses for the
weather. You must be prepared, espe-
cially If your route is a Northern one
to meet cold weather in brave attire
Of suit and topcoat. or, If Southern,
be ready to greet the Summer suns
and soft breezes on short notice, as If
you'd been expecting them all along.
A little silk sweater and sport skirt
will give this impression. Without
any special cold or warm routes, this
idea of dressing for the weather is es-
Sential. There are likely to be days
that are cold as we'll as'those that may
be balmy If you are sailing in the Sum-
mer. Your wardrobe on shipboard
must be sufficiently adaptable for you
to be correctly and comfortably cos
TUNED at all times.

OLD MOTHER NATURE

There was a warm discussion early
one morning in the Old Orchard over
ScraDper the kingbird. 1t didn't take
place when Scrapper was about, but
when he was busy getting his break
fast. Jenny Wren started it. Flirting
her tail in that saucy way she has,
she said:

what there is about Scrapper the
kingbird to make such a fuss about.

RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazil, March
2b.-Rio provides a great show for

wonders, there are many picturesque

city are not native to Brazil. Dom
Joao VI. Prince Regent of Portugal,
fleeing from the wrath of Napoleon,
brought the first palm from the An

garden of Rio over 100 years ago.
The original palm still stands, tower

honored by the country. On the
railing surrounding this historic tree
