No other type of flower can take the place of
the modern giadioius. As a cut flower 1t will last
longer in water than any other flower and if taken
when the first buds begin to open will bloom nicely
for 10 days. If planted at intervals from April
/ to June Is it will give succession of blooms
from July list to frost time No other Towering
plant equals it in producing flowers during the hot
summer months as will the gladolus. Their tall,
graceful stems and large open blooms with great
array of coIors make them suitable for all occa-
sions. One does not have to pay high price to
get good bulbs as it is matter of fact that many
of the old standard sorts that sell at low price
are just as beautiful the newer kinds.
Prices are influenced by the rarity of variety
rather than by quality There are, of course, many
of the newer varieties which beautiful and add
distinction to your collection of gladiolus. Varieties
should be kept separate and named Save your
bulbets and build up your stock by adding a few
new and pleasing varieties each year.
Plant the bulbs from to inches apart with
~ to Is inches between the rows. They should
be planted inches deep, in shallower planting
the heavy blooms will toppe over unless staked
or supported.
Don't be misled by thinking the larger the bulbs
the better flower this is the theory of the novice
only The Il or " size bulb grown from a cor
mel or bulblet, will produce just as large bloom
as the big bulb and will be nice full size bulb

PARIS LUXURY TRADES
HIT BY RISE OF FRANC


By the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 4.-Hard times
have hit the luxury trades in France
People have simply quit buying I'M
necessary things since the franc has
risen so high with slight diminution
in prices.
An automobile agency on the
Avenue des Champs Elyses, selling a
renowned high priced car. had only
two buyers in November and not one
in December. Jewelry shops along the
Rue de Ia Paix did a December bust
ness far below normal. Perfumers,
antique shops, art dealers, wine mer-
chants and others trafficking in
articles that are beautiful and pleas
ant but unnecessary. all wore long
faces and reported that the holiday
season of 1926 was more or less of
disappointment.
But as yet, they have not reduced
prices in order to encourage resump-
ton of buying. Some of them have
laid off part of their help. The public
is still keeping its money in it's pocket
and Paris is being filed with a ubiq-
uitous rumor that 'prices will start
falling about the LIST of February"

After listening to testimony that
British naval ships materially out
range American war craft, Represen-
tative Rritten, Republican, Illinois, a

diately reintroduce his bill for eleva-
ton of guns on American battleships.

Admiral Bloch, naval ordinance chief.
that at $4,000 yards the British could
array 20 ships against 10 of this
country, that at % 900 yards, II Am
crican ships could oppose 20 British
and that the ratio would be IS against
20 at q 900 yards.
Britten's bill would provide for ele-
walton Of the guns of IL capital ships.
The committee decided to include in
81 pending measure for modernizatton
of the battleships Oklahoma and Ne

country"

ell. air ace who resigned after his
courtmartial for characterization, was
injected into the committee hearing
~ hen Representative McClintic, Demo
erat, oklahoma, told naval officers
