A picn.c is happy solution
either a real woods picnic or the
semi-rustic kind which takes place
.n the front or back yard. Ii may
seem more convenient to stay at
home, perhaps because of the near
ness to trains or perhaps because
some of the guests do not appreci-
ate the discomforts of the woods.
In this ease, yard picnic is the
better choice.
Ii the gathering is large. this
form OF entertainment viii relieve
the hostess of a tremendous amount
of work. She can prepare most of
the lunch the day before. and the
lunch is by far the most important
part of picnic.
Amusing a crowd out OF doors is
always comparatively siNple, for
they will naturally plan their own
fun. Just provide baseball and
bat. or some horse shoes and a
stake for the mel and they will
i entertain themselves. The woman
may even join in either Of these
games in which case ii would be
wise to substitute an indoor base
ball for he regular variety
Relay races are alw&S 5 fun, or
obstacle races where the course OF
smooth running is interfcred with
by objects which are placed in the
path to be jumped or climbed over.
Feeding the crowd, however, is
another story. Exercise and fresh
air will increase even usually
healthy appetites, so that there
must be quantities of food and q
variety to suit different tastes.
An old fashioned lanch OF baked
beans, potato salad, boiled ham and
tongue. deviilrd eggs, sliced tonia-
toes, rolls ana pickles With pie anc
coffee for dessert is always enjoyed

DELAYED TERMINATION IN SEEDS

A Japanese scientist, named Olga is
performing some very interesting ex-
perimehts with plants in the laboratories
Of the BOyce Thompson Institute for
Plant Research in New York. One of
the things he is working on is DELAYED
termination.
1t has always been supposed by scien-
lists that seeds found in ancient tombs
would rot grow, Notwithstanding the
many popular reports that new strains of
wheat and other grains have sprung
from such sources. Scientists NAV have
to revise their opinion. While Olga has
not caused seeds found in ancient tombs
to grow he has done something similar.
He has succeeded in growing plants
from seeds centuries old. They were the
seeds Of the East Indian lotus and were
obtained in peal beds in Manchuria.
They were found several feet beneath
the surface in moist peat. All indications
are that the seeds were at least 200 years
old, possibly 300 or 400.
Chga's experiments may prove benef-
cial to farmers. 1t is a we'll known fact
that clover. alfalfa. beans and peas, as
we'll as many other seeds, have the habit
OF going to sleep in the soil. Sometimes
only a small per cent Of the seed sown
grows the first year; some of it does not
grow for 80 or 40 years, which is hard on
the farmer. Such seeds, like the East
Indian lotus seed, are hard. coated. The
water is unable to penetrate the hard
outer coat except under certain con
ditions. When Olga removed the
hard coat from the lotus seeds they i'm
mediately began to grow, although they
were centuries old.
Experiments show that clover seed is
much more likely to produce a good
crop the first year if it is cracked in the
threshing or huIIing. The principle may
explain many other interesting things
in connection with plants. Why is it
the farmer has such a hard time getting
rid of certain weeds? He may keep
them down for years and yet the ground
is automatically reseeded each year. No
doubt the persistence of many weeds is
due to delayed termination The Path.

feared to come nearer and Collins slid
down the line to the police boat. He

Guard was notified the barge was adrift.
Seven men were working. steadying

Parts of Sur Avenue were flooded as

Stairways from the boardwalk to the

Three small buildings at the foot of

started searching the beach for fotsam.
The Jersey coast was battered from
