main groups, those which are ordinarily
propagated from root division, namely,
the peony and iris, and those which are
generally grown from seed-coreopsis,
pyrethrum, columbine and the like.
Concerning this second group many
gardeners may not realize that these
plants can be quite easily grown right
in the home garden. Too often, per-
haps, these perennials are purchased
as one-year plants and, although very
satisfactory in this form, may easily
amount to heavy tax on the garden
fund. If seed of perennials is bought
at the same time as the annual flower
seed and sown in rows in the garden
one can easily raise enough plants for
his own use and perhaps to give away
to his friends. Generally if one has
supply of fine. strong plants there will
be found place for them.

CARDINAL DEL VAL
 BURIED IN ROME
Funeral Held With Solemn Cere.
 monies at St. Peter'S Today

Rome, March (UP) - Funeral services for the late Merry Del Val, beloved Roman Catholic cardinal whose name was perhaps better known than any other member of the Sacred college during his life. were held today in St. Peters.
 The funeral mass began at 1O:3O a. m., in a scene impressive for it's sonsber grandeur. and in the pres ence of every cardinal and high churchman now in Rome.
 Soldiers In Full Dress
 Papal soldiery in their full dress, with the Vatican gendarmerie in their great Napoleonic busbies, sur rounded the right transcript of St. Peters where tn funeral liturgy of the high requiem was intoned be- fore the altar of Saints Processus and Martin.
 Cardinals in princcly purple adorned with ermine capes were at the altar, and prelates of the PapaI household, diplomats and other dig nitaries occupied the body of the chapel.
 The late cardinals casket had been brought from the nearby pal ace of Santa Maria in a processional which halted at an immense cata- falque before the altar. covered with black and gold drapery and sur rounded by q hundred glittering 'candles in wrought iron candle sticks standing fully eight feet high.
 Four torches cast a glow over the corners of the catafalque, forming a quadrilateral l feet by D. The windows were hung everywhere with black and gold drapes.
 Over the altar where the mass was said was a magnificent tapestry de- plcting the resurrection of Lazarus.
 Same One Previously Used
 The altar was the same at which Cardinals Hayes and Mundelein were given their red hats when they were raised to the Sacred col lege.
 Before the funeral mass, touch- ing ceremony-the rite of prayerful farewell by his fellow cardinals occurred. Ali oi the cardinals pass cd before the catafalque, in deep prayer.
 Monsignor Augustine Zampine the Pope's sacristan and vicar-gen- cral of Vatican City. who was also vicar to Cardinal Merry Del Val, said the funeral mass.
 The last rite of dissolution. follow ing the mass, was given by the aged Cardinal Eannutelli, who recently entered upon his 95th year.

 There has never been less free drinking this year" said kempton Dunn of Philadelphia, chairman of the recent prom. Tt would be idle to deny that Yale men drink, but they are drinking now in a more re- strained and gentlemanly way than ever before.'
 Dunn disagreed with charges filed with the congressional committee in vestigating prohibition by Arthur E. O'Keefe, Jr.. of New Haven, for mer Yale student, that fraternities fostered drinking at proms.
 Robert Hall, chairman of last years prom. admitted there was drinking at Yale just as there is in most homes,' but denied there was overindulgenCe. His statement was echoed by L. A. Lapham, member of this years prom committee.
