 Chief, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. $. Department of Agriculture. Porch and window boxes, as soon as they are placed and plant ed, become part of the architectur- al scheme of the home. This is an added reason for careful and intel ligent planning.
 The boxes themselves and all plants to grow in them should har- monize with each other and with the general style of the home. There are Towering plants and fo- liage plants suitable for box cul- ture in variety enough that most gardeners will be able to make se- lections that will prove suitable and attractive additions to the ar chitectural plan and will still sat isfy personal preference in flowers.
 Annual plants are the first re- liance of most gardeners. although the geranium. one of the tender perennials, is one of the flowers most adaptable to box culture. Ageratum, Chinese pinks. pansfes, sweet alyssum, candytuft. lobelia. and verbenas are of easy culture. mignonette, nasturtium, petunias. and with exception of the pansy most of these thrive in full sun. Calliopsis. snapdragons. and heli- chrysum or strawfower are easy to grow and somewhat taller.
 Cacti for South Window
 For the hottest southern expo sure portulaca or some forms or cacti are growing in favor. Plum babo. crotons. fancy-leaved cala- diums, dracenas. and greviilea or silk oak are tender perenniais usu- ally regarded as greenhouse plants but suitable for boxes in the sun when 1t is convenient 10 buy plants in the spring or to winter them. Gardeners usually transplant 10 boxes instead of planting seed in them.
 Failure with porch boxes can usually be traced to one or two causes. Either the soil Is not pre- pared properly, or the boxes are not large enough.
 Plants in boxes cannot draw wa, ter from the subsoli, and to hold

DIAMOND ARGUES
 TRUSLOW CASE
Case 10 Be Assigned for Retrial Within a Few
 Days

In the litigation between the Truslow-Fulle Company and the Diamond Bottling Company, lo- cal bottling concern, some inter- esting questions of law were ar gued several days ago, before John Rufus Booth in New Haven by Raymond E. Hackett of Commfngs & Lockwood of Stamford for the plaintiff, and William E. Thoms of Waterbury, who is counsel for the local concern.
 It will be remembered that some years ago the Truslowfulle Com pany brought suit against the Diamond Bottling Company for 2 bill amounting to $1200.00 and the Diamond Bottling Company filed c counterclaim on the ground that the goods furnished by the Trus- low-Fulle Company were defective in that they were crowns and stop pers for ginger ale and that they had caused the ginger ale bottles to leak and caused the Diamond Bottling Company very serious loss. When the case was tried, in- stead of the plaintiff recovering the amount of its bill, judgment was awarded to the Diamond Bot ting Company for damages a. mounting to $25,000.00. The plain tiff appealed the case and the su- preme court, being of the opinion that the damages were rather high sent 1t back for a new trial, and 1t will be tried shortly in the su- perior court in New Haven.
 The motions argued were under the new statute of 1891 and are somewhat novel in their nature as the practice under these statutes has not been fully determined They were made in behalf of the plaintiff and called upon the de- fendant to file in court the varia. tions in the composition of ginger ale from the time that 1t started to make them until the present time, the amount of its income taxes and a copy of its reports, ( complete statement of all the GUS toners that 1t had lost by reasot of the defective crowns and { complete statement of all its pro fits and losses, allocated to thu different types of it's products dur ing the time covered by the litiga ton, together with great deal o other information which the Dia mond Bottleing Company claimed would cost large sums for 1t to SC cure, by reason of the accountant which would have to be hired.
 The motions were argued at con siderable length and briefs filed and Judge Booth reserved his de cision, which will probably b. handed down in a few days, ant the case will then be assigned fo trial.
 The questions involved wer' rather novel and, if the motion were granted, the counsel for tn defendant claim that 1t would make quite change in the ac cepted practice in this state ant involve large expenses for litigant in preparing their cases for trial
 Judge Booth made no commen on the various arguments, bu merely reserved the matter .ant said he would try to decide in day or two.

Porch and Wondov Boxes Should Be Planned to Fit Design of Home

an adequate water supply the boxes should be nearly foot in cross- section. Many boxes. particularly the ready-made metal window boxes, are too small. All boxes must provide for drainage by holes in the bottom and layer of coarse gravel, cinders, or broken pots to favor drainage to these holes. The soil must be spongy and capable of absorbing a quantity of water with out becoming heavy and water logged.
 LOam is Best Soil It is not practical to do much cultivating, and soil for boxes should not cake or puddle and harden. Friable garden loam. with the addition of a liberal quantity of thoroughly decomposed leaf mold or compost, makes desir- able combination, but the organic material must be fully decomposed. Active decomposition in the box is | likely to be deadly to the plants. Ordinarily such mixture will supply most of the plant-food for the season, and soil for boxes should be renewed each year. If the plants seem to need feed ing a weak solution of liquid ma- nure will act as a tonic. A tea spoonful of nitrate of soda or sul7 phate of ammonia to a quart of water is a fair substitute. In hot weather. particular. a mulch of an inch or more of pulverized peat will add greatly to the water-hsld- : ing capacity of the box. and will also help keep the plants cooler and prevent a crust on the soil. Window boxes should be placed on a slight slant so that water will flow from the drainage holes to the lower outside ledge. If they are level or tilted inward the escaping drainage is likely to stain the walls.

COOLIDGE IN 1938

Cambridge, Mass, Mar 29-(UP) l--Professor Arthur N. Holcompe' writing in the Harvard Crimson declared that Calvin Coolidge was "an excellent (presidentiaD pros meet for 1936, whether Hoover wins or loses this year" , Holcombe's article was one or a series carried by the Crimson Ill connection with a presidential pre- ference poll of Harvard university students to be hled today and to- morrow.
 "The conjecture may be safely hazarded that Coolidge would iiKe who is professor of government al to be president again." Holcomoe' Harvard, wrote. "He enjoyed ms first two terms of office, and, being still in his fifties, may not unrea- sonably look forward to another term in the White House"
 Holcombe said Mir Coolidge s "problem" was much like that or Theodore Roosevelt after his retire. ment from the presidency in 1909' but that MT Coolidge will not re- neat Roosevelt's mistakes" He said it was possible, however, that the world will have moved so Tar by 1936 "that Coolidge will be out of date"
 Discussing the qualities of Presi- dent Hoover in another Crimson article, State Representative Chris tian Herter said that If anyone but MT Hoover were selected this year, "that individual, in looking for the most competent adviser now before the country, would have to turn to Mir Hoover. That being the case he should be kept where he is.' TRENTON SENATE SURPRISE

Washington, March 29.--(UP)- The senate prohibition fight shifted to another front today as hearings opened before judiciary sub committee on three resolutions Of Senator Bingham, republican, Con- necticut to change the procedure for amending the Constitution.
 Bingham's resolutions do not mention prohibition specifically but were designed to make the matter of amending the Constitu- tion question of popular senti- ment, which Bingham and other wet senators believe overwhelm- ingly favors modification or dry laws.
 One resolution would add to the bill of rights in the Constitution a provision that any amendment conferring on the government any added powers over the rights oi tho people must be ratified by spe' cial state conventions, rather than by the legislatures.
 The second would provide that no such amendment be valid untll ratified by state referenda in three tourths of the states.
 The third would provide for con- gross to call national Constltu. tional convention, on vote oi two-thirds of it's members or peti- ton of thirds of the state leg islatures.
