FALL ROSE PLANTING HAS MUCH
IN IT'S FAVOR

The fall planting Of roses after the
bushes have become dormant has
much to commend it in most sections
of Maryland, says w. r. Ballard,
garden specialist for the University
of Maryland Extension Service.
By the latter part of Oct. or the
early part of Nov. the plants should
be properly ripened and should con-
tinue to make root growth after be-
ing transplanted until severe freez-
ing weather. The beds, OF course,
should be prepared well ahead of the
time of planting and rather heavy
mulch for the first winter will be a
distinct advantage.
Observation and experience bear
out the opinion that rose beds pro-
cold drying winter winds come
through the winter months in better
condition than those fully exposeds
says Mr.. Ballard. Protected plants.
therefore, start off more vigorously
in early spring.
If roses are not to be planted until
spring, the dormant plants should be
obtained in the fall and buried in a.
well drained spot so that they will
be at hand as soon as the ground in
early spring is in shape for working.
Large growers of rose stock are COM
PEELED to keep plants over winter in
storage for spring orders. Too often
under this treatment, the tissues dry
out badly and the plants are then not
in the best condition to produce sat-
isfactory results.

Business Man Really
Not Taking Chances

In Portland lives a business man
who not so long ago took to himself
most attractive young wife. She is
reported to be what is sometimes de-
nominated as dangerously beautiful.
Recently he took a travelling man"
home to dinner with him. When, after
dinner, the two men were in the smok-
ing room together, the travelling man
felt moved to say:
''NIr. Blank, as you know, / go
about great deal, and 1 may confess
to you l am an observer of the fair
sex, and in the course of my travels
see many handsome women, but ]
must say Mrs. Blank is about the
handsomest woman I've ever met. I
should think you'd be afraid to bring
other men into your home"
"Oh, trust my wife to look after
the honor and welfare of the family,
but do sometimes find myself taking
the precaution to invite only such
plain, commonplace men as no woman
would care to see the second time

Napoleon and Lincoln %
Among the Henpecked

The henpecked man can scarcely be
classed as product Of modern times.
Historians relate that many Of the
worlds most famous men, including
Napoleon, Lincoln and Socrates, were
henpecked. One of the letters writ
ten by Napoleon to his wife, Jose
phine, ends with the postscript:
"A thousand kisses-as burning as
yours are frosty"
Lincoln, it is said, was henpecked
because he was too shy. Count Mont
geles, the German biographer Of Lin
coin. declares that Lincoln's wife loved
him specifically, her own selfish am
billions predominating, adding that she
constantly pecked at him and almost
drove him mad.
The duke of Marlborough, one of
Winston Churchills ancestors, and ac-
claimed as one of the greatest warriors
of his day, was madly in love with
his wife, who, however, nagged him
all the time. In 1704 he wrote to his
wife on the eve of battle:
''I'm not nearly as much afraid Of
my 10000 foes as l am of you when
you are mad at me-" Next day, with
Prince Eugene of Savoy, he won big
victory over the forces of Louis XIV
of France.-New York Evening World.

TELEPHONE HEALTH
COURSE BENEFITS

The health course for women estab-
lished by the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company has been most
beneficial, according to recent grad
yates in Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
giaia and the District of Columbia,
who have expressed their views in the
Transmitter, employees magazine Of
the company.
Miss v. Voracek, of Baltimore, says
In part: Il thoroughly enjoyed the
health course and learned many USE
full things which have been able, to
put into daily practice.
"The instruction in first aid in sick
ness and the care of the sick has been
of value in rendering assistance to
others"
Miss Madeline NJ King, instructor
in the Richmond operators school,
gained sufficient knowledge to render
first aid and also to be able to nurse
her mother through severe illness.
"The health course has proved q
wonderful benefit to me, not only in
my own experience, but in helping to
care for sick people and in rendering
first aid" Miss King says.
The health course taught Miss Pau

Charleston, the Importance of correct
diet, the nutritive value of foods, and
that healthy body is conducive to q
genial disposition.

The Maryland Gazette, a weekly

versary. The first issue of this paper,

Powerful Colloids

If you leave the dishes in which
gelatin desserts have been served to
lie unwashed, you may find them
broken next morning, says Hygeia
Magazine. Gelatin is one of those
substances, neither liquid nor solid,
known as collOid. When it dries it
exerts a force strong enough to pull
chips of glass out of dish in which
it has been placed.
The same force is exerted in re-
verse direction when dried colloids alb

the principle used by the Egyptians
when they drove wooden wedge into
crack and poured water on it. This
caused the expansion of the colloid
in the wood and split the rock.
