SAVE THE LEAVES

One Of the strange Inconsistencies
OF modern gardening is that on one
hand we mourn the passing Of the
day of easily available animal ma
nureS and on the other proceed to
burn up natures gift of fallen leaves
Which might go a long way to offset
the loss. No one will deny that
leaves are a nuisance if allowed to

But this need not be- There are soy
eral effective ways of diSposing of
leaves without entaiIing the loss Of
valuable humus. Bernard H. Lane
of the Potomac Palisades Garden
Club. in one of the flower magazines
called attention to the fact that
small flock of poultry can in the
course Of few weeks break down "a
relatively large quantity of leaves into
humuS. Without doubt this process
Is greatly speeded mp by the nitro
gen added by the birds themselves.
Dr. David Griffith of the Takoma
Horticultural Club has solved the
problem in an even better way, or, at
least, in way that is open To a
greater number of people. Using his

keep his garden in excellent cond-
ton. In fact he has succeeded there
by in converting an unpromiSing area
made up of stiff clay SubSoil into a
fine garden. The leaves are simply
gathered and piled, scattering in am
monium sulphate at the rate Of
about ! pound per 20 pounds of
dry leaves and at the same time Il
few handfulS of raw ground lime

two or three times during the Winter
and early Spring To thoroughly mix in

with the two years required for rot

parted the informa ton, based on ac-
tual chemical analysis. that ton of
oak leaves contains approximately
$3.50 worth Of fertility. The only
drawback is slow availability, but if
one employs the method followed by
DIR. Griffith, even this objection is
largely overcome. Raw materials are
plentiful, for Washington is blessed
with abundant trees: as matter of
fact, there are but few places in the
outlying sections where supply of
leaves could not be obtained for the

The spacious rooms Of the Wom-

erflowing with music lovers of No
gales who enjoyed the splendid
concert rendered by Baron J. V.
Auriemma, tenor; Marie Vance

Baron Auriemma, understudy
Of Caruso, charmed the audience
with his wonderful voice. He may
we'll be called Caruso's successor.

played with brilliance and clear
cut technique.
Gene Redewill, head Of the
Redewill Music Company, who
made this concert possible is con-
sidered one of the finest violinists
in the state. His appearance is
always significant Of superb art
istrv and finished rendition.
The sheer beauty of Mr.. Rosen-

Looking Into the Mind of Man

is likely to think that he has been
taken in, and he isn't crazy about
having been so badly mistaken in
his judgment.
The wise woman never hesitates
to let her husband know how much
she loves him, how necessary he is
to her happiness, because her love
makes the strongest claim she can
possibly have upon him. Many a
man who has made an unsuitable
marriage with a woman with whom
he had no real cOmpanionship and
many man who has outgrown the
woman he married in his youth, is
kept faithful to her by the knowl-
edge Of her devotion to him, for
few husbands are heartless enough
to hurt wife who worships him
or leave the woman whose whole
life is bound up in him.
Nor is there any allure of mind
or person that appeals to a man so
much as just the certainty of a
wife's love and the knowledge that
if all the world turned against him,
she would still remain loyal and
true.

A mans attitude toward love
undergoes a radical change on
his wedding day.
We all know that before mar
riage the more difficult q woman
is to win the more the man prom
ises her, and the more woman is
to win the more the man pursues
her and the more a woman throws
herself at a man the more adroitly
he lodges her.
During the period of courtship
the thing that is of more impor-
tance to him than anything else in
The world is the state Of mind Of
the girl he loves. It's q wonderful
continental adventure, and he fol-
lows all her moods. When she is
coy and difficult it arouses all his
sporting instinct, and when he sue
leeds in taking her away from his
rivals, and she finally surrenders
to him, he is thrilled with a sense
Of being a conquering, irresistible
hero.
But marriage is different story
altogether. A man expects the
capture to end the chase, and he
dossn't want to have it run on the
balance of his life. He expects
marriage to finish all doubts, fears,
heartaches and speculations about
the woman he loves, so that he will
be free to give his undivided at
tention to his work.
For that reason the tactics that
won a woman a husband will not
serve to hold him, and the wife
who tries to pique her husbands
interest in her by her indifference
is more apt to land in the divorce
court than to strengthen her POSI-
ton in the mans heart.
For men do not want to be kept
guessing about their wives. They
want to be sure of them. The man
who is married to woman who
keeps him in constant doubt Of her
affection, and keeps him on the
verge of nervous breakdown with
jealousies and doubts and suspi-
sions does not think he has drawn
much of a prize in the matrimon-
ial gamble. On the contrary, he

Dear Miss Flo:

Do you think it is good policy
for wife to let her husband see
how much she loves him, and how
necessary he is to her happiness,
or is it better for her to appear in
different? When a man knows for
a certainty that a woman's heart
il his, is he likely to undervalue
it?

husbands love. Please advise me.
