ROSE CUTTINGS

Many Of our local rose growers are
very skillful in the propagation of
roses by slips or cuttings. AS mat
ter of fact. probably a goodly pro
portion Of the roses seen in the small
ef' home gardens have originated in
this way. Early Fall is a favored
time for this form of propagation.
Cuttings three or four buds in length
are taken from we'll ripened shoots of
this years wood-that is, avoiding
the growing tips. These slips are
simply planted In soil. so that only
one eye Is above ground. Then a glass

BLANCHING CELERY

Celery in the home garden is
blanched or whitened by banking with
earth or boards. which serve to shut
out the light and cause the green sub
stance known as chlOrophyll to dis
appear. Blanching adds to the quality
by making the stalk less stringy and
more tender. Most gardeners pre-
pare for Autumn blanching by plant
ing celery rows four or more feet
apart with quicker maturing plants.

Ford Show Travels
On Goodrich Tires

! An outstanding feature of the big
! Ford Road Show which shows here
today. is that all of the seventy
/ five units in the SHOW are exclu-
I sivelv equipped ,tth Goodyear
/ Tires.
This important announcement i
made by Jimmy Hushman of Hush
mans Garage. local Goodyear deal
Ell. who calls attention to the fact
that in addition to all Of the mo-
tor equipment being on Goodyear
tires. there will be a Goodyear
truck in the parade bearing com
plete display of Goodyear tires for
Fords and Fordsons.
There is also complete cduca-
ticnal display showing how Good
year tires are made from the raw
cotton and crude rubber through to
the finished product. This display
will give the general public a splen-
did opportunity to learn of the
many hundreds of operations which
:,rc necessary in the manufacture
of tires.
The display is in charge of +. G.
Cappclcn, an experienced Goodyear
man from the factory, who lectures
and explains how Goodyear tires
are made. Mr.. Cappelcn will also
point out some of the reasons why
more people prefer 10 ride on Good
year tires than on any other kind.
Jimmy iIushman. local dealer. in
commenting on this display, SAYS
Motorists in Southern California
should be particularly interested in
this Goodyear display because it
tells the story Of a Southern Cali
fornia industry that has AN annual
payroll of about three and half
million dollars He also calls at
tentiOn to the fact that Goodyear
is the largest consumer of cotton in
the west, and that TO large extent
this cotton is grown in California
or the west.
Isn't it true. = said 1ushman.
"that the tremendous local purchase
of materials and supplies and the
distribution of the large payroll.
which together has amounted TO
many millions of dollars since the
Goodyear plant was established in
Los Angeles in 1919, affects every
/ phase Of our commercial and agri-
( cultural activities and contributes

liar to their own.
These gangs are highly organ
lied and they have recognized
leaders.
They have a social life all their
own. They pool all their financial
resources for the purpose Of paying
fines when inflicted.
The main object OF each Is to
wipe out opposition gangs.
At the moment there are two
gangs in the EAST End" of the
city which attract most pubiic at
tention.
one is the "BilIy-Beys'' supposed
TO be composed of Orangemen from
Belfast; they are waging war on
the Norman Conks" who are
Roman Catholics.
But the existence OF these sup
posed religious differences is doubt
full. They are merely an excuse
for fighting.
tits only lately they have taken
TO the use OF the razor.
In this the favorite method is
to make a quick upward slash to
the body and rapidly drag the flesh
back from the cut.
Before this, the old weapons were
the bare fist and the knuckleduster.
One gang, the .sRedskins," dur.
ing the war, made great play with
the weighted leather throng.
But whatever weapons they use,
these gangs have made themselves
a terror to the police of the city
as well as to one another.

NEW PAVEMENT.
IS ELASTIC
ny International News servIe.


CORPUS CHRISTI. Tex. Oct. L.
Rolling up the pavements and put
ting them away for the night may
be a joke In some parts OF the
country. but 1t will be reality IN
this city. on the maturity OF present
paving plans, announced by c. Sam
Robertson. manager.
Chicken wire pavemente IS the
plan, and as the wire Is laid a
treatment of hot asphalt will be
administered. Since the asphalt
is elastic, IL the necessity arises
the pavement can be rolled up ana
removed.
paving was proven during the
world War, when General Allenby
moved his troops and transport
trucks into Mesopotarnia using this
system Of roads.
The chicken wire. with its as
phalt covering, distributes the
pressure of vehicles riding on 1t.
and there is no possibility OF
car sinking into the sand.
A strip of about 20 miles long, on
