FLOWER SHOW

The next two or three weeks will
be replete with flower shows in vari-
Gus parts of the city and outlying
suburbs. Those in charge of the ex-
hibits often meet with considerable
difficulty in getting people to bring in
their flowers. Many times this is due
to the growers modesty in not recog.
nizing the true worth of his blooms.
In truth, it is rather difficult for any
one to forecast just how well flowers
will appear when arranged in the
vases on the exhibit tables. Quite
often what seem to be mediocre

PREVENTING FUTURE MISSISSIPPI
FLOODS WILL BE A GIGANTIC TASK

studied. One suggests more arti-
fetal river mouths in the Missis-
sippi delta and the other artificial
reserves to handle the overflow.
The Objections
The objections of experts are that
the artificial mouths would be con-
stantly filling up with silt and that
the basins would cost more than
the value of the land to be saved
To lower the flood heights at New
Orleans by four feet, which would
be effective, it is estimated that q
basin Of 5000 square miles averag'
ing 30-foot depth would be re-
quircd. Engineers say that The
only land available for the purpose
is worth something like $500 an acre
which would mean an expense Of
more than billion dollars.
On the other hand it is con
tended that if the present govern
mcnt levee program Is continued
the situation will eventually be II
hand. Although the nation car
never let up for a moment in it:

can build to the point where M

Poppy Day Has
3-fOld Purpose
BY MRS. A. E. AMUNDSEN
Officer Of Minnesota Department
American owinn AnxiliaPv

Officer of Minnesota Department
American Legion Auxiliary
When you are asked to buy the
little red crepe paper poppy and wear
it on Memorial day as a tribute to
those who rest 'in Flanders fields"
what does it mean to you?
That little poppy has threc-fold
purpose. First, the sentiment it rep
rcscnts, which should never be for
gotten. 1t represents the sacrificial
blood Of the men who fell in Flanders
fields. The first summer after the
war the fields of Belgium and France
were brown and barren, the trees
stark and bare. All vegetation seemed
destroyed, when almost over night
the barren wastes were converted
into fields of blood red pOppies.
Especially luxuriant were the pop
pies that grew on the graves Of the
boys sleeping in Flanders fields. So
the Auxiliary adopted the Flanders
field poppy as a memorial to all who
died in service, and in reverence and
understanding we wear it.
Second, the compensation it at
ferds many of our unfortunate bud
dies and their families who are paid
for making it. Minnesota was the
first state to start workshop en-
ploying disabled service men to make
the poppy. Now it is being done in
Arkansas, California, Delaware, Flor
ida, Georgia. Iowa, Kentucky, Maine,
Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New
Jersey. Oregon, Virginia, West vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania. These fol-
lowed the example Of Minnesota in
making peoples for their own use,
while the following states have fol-
8 lowed Minnesota's example in manu-
featuring poppics for outside dis
tribution: Kansas, Wisconsin, South
Dakota, Oklahoma and Idaho. While
far away Alaska is not listed ~
making peoples they are selling
them. They have ordered for this
year 9.4O0 poppics for their sale.
is Service. It enables one cent to
be earned by disheartened service
man who needs it, and all you pay for
it goes for service for those for
whom the war is not yet over. Be-
cause it stands for Service we buy
It.
Third, from the sale of the poppy
money is derived to carry on the
welfare work Of the American Legion
Auxiliary. In fact q resolution was
passed at the first national convcn-
ton at Kansas City to the effect that
the money from this sale be used
solely for the purpose Of aiding vet
efans' welfare work. When the Min
nesOta department sent $4,000 to the
flood sufferers the money came from
] the, poppy sale. When handful of
ex-service men started an egg. bust
ness in Barnum and fire swept away
everything they had the auxiliary

Special Commission on Music

San Francisco, May 27.-LR-How
to nut soul into congregational sing
ing and spirituality into choirs is
problem to be considered by the
Presbyterian general assembly which
began it's annual sessions in San
Francisco Tuesday.
Lack of worship in hymn singing
prompted the general assembly ut
Columbus, Ohio, in 1915, to take &C
ton which led to the appointment
Of a special commission on music
and worship. This commission has
drawn up preliminary presentment
against soulless church choirs,. in

spiritual aspects of the ministry OF
music. to be studied further by a
national body. of 100 specialists as
a basis for reformation OF church
music.
DR.. William Chalmers Covert. Of
Philadelphia, general secretary OF
the Board of Christian Education,
refers especially to this matter IN
his annual report to be presented
to the assembly next Monday.

Honse'of John Wesley
Bought by Wesleyons

Epworth viearage, home of John
Wesley. founder Of AIeilpdism, is
about to pass into the hands Of the
Wesleyan church. 1t has been an
Anglican rectory all these years, as
it was in the days when the Wesley
brothers, their father, but above all
the noble figure of their mother, Su-
zanne, lived there. 1t had fallen into
dilapidation and the rector appealed
for help. Naturally the Methodists
came forward and even proposed to
buy the historic place. The broad
sympathy that has marked inter-Pr0t-
estant relations since the Lambeth
conference in England was also in
evidence at the conferences that led
to the purchase. There was time,
not SO far distant, when harsh words
might have fallen. 1t will no doubt
become place of grateful pilgrimage
to tens of thousands of Wesley's fell
low men. But the old ghost that
haunted it in jobs Wesley's youth,
that shutting ghost, jOcuIarly called
"old Jefrries," is no longer there

Wolfe Handkerchiefs of
Man-Size Proportions

Fine wolfe handkerchiefs of man
size proportions are decorative as well
as useful, for they add pleasing
note to any sports costume when seen
dropping from a pocket. Wide hens
and hand-drawn work with bit Of
colorful embroidery here and there
furnish the means of establishment.
These lovely kerchiefs come in the
light shades of rose, beige, lavender,
maize and blue. Large squares of
chiffon and georgette make the most
enhancing handkerchiefs, especially
in patterns fayoring the floral themes,
where several shades of one color may
be artfully blended in an all-over de-
sign. Tiny rolled hens stand out es-
pecially, for they usually are of black
and so narrow that they supply the
right amount of color contrast.

Fringed Negligee One
of Seasons Favorites

The fringed negligee is perhaps the
most feminine one of the season. The
fringed negligee is the only extremely
feminine type which bears launder-
ing well since lace-trimmed models
are not durable unless continually
dry-cleaned. Fringe washes well and
after washing all that is required is
hanging the garment on dress hang
er. After the fringe is thoroughly
dried one can press the satin founda-
ton with an iron. The most attrac-
tive fringed robe is made exactly like
a cape-coat except that it has no
sleeves. The main portion Of the robe
is plain, opened in front and sleeve
less and a hip-length cape extends
over this. Cape and skirt portion
have fringed borders. A narrow satin
sash extends about the low waistline.
