DISEASES OF
ROSES

II you are a real flower-Iover
with so much as q single rose
bush, you will be interested in
knowing the perils Of disease
which the plant faces and how
they can be overcome.
Rose pests and diseases take
no summer vacations, warns the
Farm Journal. This applies par
ticularly to plant-lice, black spot
and mildew. Plant-lice, which
suck the juices from the tender
growing shoots, can be controlled
effectively by the use of a good
contact insecticide. A single ap-
plication is not enough. Use 1t
as often as the pests are present.
Another rose enemy causing
trouble now. il ignored in early
summer, is black spot. The dis
ease is just what the name sug-
gests-the leaves OF plants ara
covered with spots more or less
circular and black. Often the
disease causes complete defolia.
ton.
Two things are required in a
fungicide to control this, as well
as other fungous diseases of the
rose. The material applied must
protect the plant, and be as in
conspicuous as possible when put
on the plants. Lime sulphur and
Bordeau mixture color the foliage
excessively. Some of the com
mercial dusts and sprays are
more satisfactory than these old
remedies.

Of an important business house.
My employer has been unusually
kind and considerate, and in
many ways has shown me many
favors that mean so much. He
told me few days ago that

would very much like to know
how I could show my friendly

a very wealthy man, so that a

be out Of the question. And I
am sure that 1t would not be
proper in any event. But I have
been wondering il q short note
from me would be proper? How
could / word: 1t, and should I
address it to him and his bride
to-be, or to him personally, q
few days before the wedding. I
want to do the proper thing,
but I also want him. to feel that

been to me and that I am in-
terested enough to wish him hap
piness. know that I could say
something before he leaves, but
IL I could be sure that it would
be proper, I should Like to send
him a short note expressing my
good wishes. Do you approve OF
this plan at all, and, II you DO,
would you held me out by sug.

quently, say the horticulturists Of

~ o athletics harm beauty!
This question was raised
recently when q well'known
German lawn-tennis champion
was obliged to give up her play
ing because eye-trouble developed.
Not many years ago heard a
languid lady protesting that ath'
letics gave women an over-muscu-
lar, almost masculine appearance
and encouraged brusque manners
and the hail-fellow-well-Tnet attt-
tlIde toward men which is far
removed from charm. This view
point is old.fashioned today--in
Fact Is regarded as Victorian.
Health is the foundation of fem
inine beauty and athletics en-
courage good health, therefore,
athletics encourage feminine
beauty. Surely this logic is un-
answerable.
Yet the girl who goes in for
athletics may need constant vigi.
lance to offset certain detrimen-
tai influences on her complexion,
grooming and manners in order
to get all the good and noEA of
the unfortunate results from her
sports and games.
She must, first and foremost,
avoid over-exertion. Over-fatigue
drains a woman's nervous vitality.
and brings physical symptoms of
exhaustion, including lines on the
face, dull eyes, and loss of natural
good spirits and vivacity. Always
stop exercising before you become
very tired. After your game of
ride or strenuous hike, cool off,
take a warm then a cool shower,
rest awhile before you dress or
eat.
If your muscles ache from un-
wonted exertion, rub them with a
mixture Of three parts of massage
alcohol to one part of spirits of
canphor. You will find this lotion
invigorating and refreshing.
Sometimes women athletes have
a strained look about the eyes.
Protect your eyes while you are
playing tennis, rowing or indulg.
ing in any other sport in the glare
OF sunlight. Eyeglasses wi h
tinted glass will relieve your eyes
on a motor trip.
Miss Helen Wills is renowned
for her fresh, unline young beauty.
But you will note that in playing
tennis in sunlight she always
wears an eyeshade.
e A leathery, weather beaten COM
plexion is ugly, but unnecessary.
Cold cream, then more cold cream,
is the secret of smooth, soft skin.
Rough manners, slangy talk
need not result from outdoor life
and athletics. There is no reason
why an athletic girl should not
possess her full share of feminine
charms.
Frequent trips to a beauty shop
and occasionally a facial massage,
together with sensible beauty
measures at home, should keep
you faultlessly ell-groomed and
flawless of complexion, even
though you may indulge in ath-
letics to your hearts content, pro-
vided, Of course, you follow the
good old Greek motto 'Modera-
tion in all things"

What amounted to such a sug-
gestion made at the recent Chicago
convention of designers, received
no support and scanty consideration
among health officials here today.
The widely press agented pro-
posal, reported taken up by groups
throughout the country, is doomed
to failure, and man will continue
to dress as a man should.
Everybody should wear what
they want to wear" an assistant
to the health bureau director, DR..
James G. Cumming, declared.
"However, there is little force in
the argument that some definite
standard should be set in hot
weather clothes. Some people are
not affected by the heat to any
appreciable extent, and would view
with horror the suggestion of a
former Official of the New York
health department that men wear
in summer a light coat, detachable
collar underneath. without a shirt. !"
Officials Of the Army and Navy
who have served in the tropics
declared the proposal was not SounQ
in their opinion. They stuck to
the old flannel shirt long used
by the Marines and other service
men in equatorial sections Of the
world, and asserted such an outfit
as proposed would be uncomfortable,
hot ana unserviceable.
Storekeepers were family alarmed.
Such a simple costume as proposed
by health officials favoring dress
reform would play havoc with their
summer trade. Ties would go by
the board, along with fancy shirts
and other hot-weather clothing.
Already the designers have fur
nished the world with cool clothing, .
they declared. "No departure from
modern dress is necessary to keep
the average person as comfortable
as is possible on hot days. Less
clothes than the average man wears
in the summer now would only ex.
pose him to the heat of the sun
more than ever. The idea Of wear
ing a coat without shirt, even a
light coat, is repulsive to many.
1t would become. scratchy and in
flict pain on the Wearer."
