POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN
PLANTING. A LANDSCAPE
PICTURE
(Part Four)

(Part FOur)
The informal border of shrubbery
has been winning in favor at the
expense of the hedge. The hedge at
first sight is often pleasing but
presenting constantly the same even
unchanging line, il becomes mOnOt-
OnOus. It's straight lines belongs to
the formal style where it is most eff
| fectiVe.
There is a great. number of thrift
ty and hardy evergreens and shrubs,
taking us through a great variety of
foliage colors as well as flower
cOlOrs. There are also shrubs that
bloom for each month of the grow
ing year. Therefore what can give
more pleasure than a well planned
border of these splendid shrubs.
Ones entire family learns to watch
with keen interest the days sur
prises as new beauties open and
change.
There is such a large list, in fact,
il becomes difficult to limit our Sc
lection to the number that one yard
might enjoy. Yet one must limit the
list to a modest number and let
these be planted in strong striking
family groups. In selecting the
planting list, one should choose
principally those varieties that
thrive i'm their region, and not in
troduce too many tender and doubt
full varieties.
Should there be any unsightly
views on your place. it naturally
follows that your heavy paintings
should come between these low
points. First, we should plan to
screen all unsightly views" 1t Of
ten happens that ones outlook leads
to unsightly buildings or back
yards. In such places we should
make our heaviest paintings, choos-
ing shrubs and trees that will grow
high enough for effective screens.
These larger groups will become the
centers from which our other
groups will lead off in more or less !

undulating waves. to the low poirts
reserved to open views.
This wave like effect makes a
broken and interesting sky line. IL
is secured by varieties of dilferening
habits of growth.
We may be guided by placing
shrubbery groups if we study ma
ture's borders that grows alongside
of many wood lots. 1t will be MOTTO
ed that the shrubs are not mixed
but grow in families. This method
should give us cur understanding OF
how we can successfully place our
shrubbery groups upon our lawn in
a most natural fashion. A few varie-
ties in strong. dominant groups,
should be f1anked by those of a les
ser height. This is natures way of
covering the lower and cOarser
branches, and also keeping. out the
wind and weeds and thus conserve
the moisture.
The advance of these vigorous
groups, naturally gives a border
that is in and out. of bay and capes.
This makes a more. pleasing lawn
that winds in and out among the
with much larger
"shoreline" and gives the appear
ance of expanse to the lawn. Indeed
a well arranged border will increase
the seeming size of ones property,
and will add greatly to its impor-
tance and value.

NATIONAL HOSPITAL DAY

National Hospital Day is to be
celebrated by the Milford Emergency
Hospital and the Marshall Hospital
along with all the other hospitals
in the United States, Canada and
many foreign countries ON Friday,
May 18th. National Hospital Day is
day set aside to make people bet
ter acquainted with hospitals, their
Importance, their service. and their
needs. The whole idea of the day is
to bring the community to a reali-
zation of what the hospitals do and
how they do it. For in spite of all
the efforts to inform the public con-
cerning the function and scope of
hospitals, a great deal of ignorance
and understanding exists. Until
this is cleared away, the hospital
cannot hope to get the interest and
support it deserves and needs.
The two local hospitals will hold
"Open house" on National Hospital
Day, May 18th, and the public is
cordially invited to visit the insti-
tutions and acquaint themselves
with the work being done.
National Hospital Day in the Mil
ford hospitals will also be Donation
Day. On this day it has been the
custom of friends of the hospitals
to make donations of food, linen,
china, magazines or
money. AT this time many former
patients who are appreciative of the
help and kindnesses they received
while in the hospital bring small of
ferings which are all greatly appre-
ciated by those who are in charge
of the management of the institu-
liOns. -..... or
Mayor Vinyard has heartily en-
lorsed Hospital Day and he has
called attention to the day as a
means of emphasizing the important
role played by hospitals in the pub
lie welfare. He has urged every |
,itizen of Milford to cooperate in
he observance of the day.

THE DOCTORS AND LIQUOR

President Roosevelt recently sign
ed a bill which relaxes somewhat
the restrictions on liquor prescrip-
tiOns. 1t is held under this act, that
doctor may prescribe "a Sufficient
quantity" of liquor. Subject to reg
ulation". The doctors have been
watching for the new rules govern
ing this subject, which may have
been distributed by this time.
This matter has been one of the
most difficult aspects of the never
ending liquor question. There are
differences of opinion among doctors
and other scientists, as to the effect
of alcohol on the human body. But
a certain amount of liquor has been
commonly considered helpful in
certain cases of cOnValescence, for
old people, and perhaps in some
other cases.
The doctors of the country are
people of very high type. We owe
them a debt which we can never pay
by money alone. for their devotion.
self sacrifice. and tireless effort in
behalf of the sick. They are as con-
seientious as those who practice any
profession.
The prohibitory law regulated
liquor prescriptions strictly, on the
theory that a few doctors in some
places might be too good natured
in providing this form of medical
tiOn. 1t was feared, if such pre-
scriptiOns were unlimited. that the
poor sufferers seeking this kind of
relief might make the doctors a great
deal of trouble. When unreasonable
demands for liquor were made, il
was perhaps aarelief in many. cases
10 point to the law, and say that
snch requests could not be granted.
Yet the medical profession will
probably be glad to have this mat
ter left more to the Judgment of ply
sicians. IL will, feel that doctors
ran be trusted to do the right thing
lbOut these prescriptions. But many
persons who rush TO the medical
man for alcoholic relief for all kinds !
Of troubles. are likely to find the |
in skeptical mood.

GETTING MARRIED NOW

Hard times appear to have consid-
erably reduced the number of mar
riages. Many prudent young people
shrink from accepting these respon-
sibilities in times like these. But
now that business indications have
takei. a decided upturn, now that
prices are rising and a new wave of
confidence is felt, one can expect a
good number of June weddings this
year. Little Cupid, who had been
looking sad. shows signs of cheer
ing up.
How far is it wise and prudent
for young people TO marry, at times
when business and working cOndi-
tions are still somewhat uncertain?
They should not usually undertake
Il at any time. unless one or both of
them has "A regular job. unless they
have some reserve Of savings. or un-
less they are sure of some kind of
help i'm emergencies.
If their parents have homes to
which they could return in case of
unemployment or other trouble. the
risk is reduced. and they may be
justified in taking il.
Marriages postponed too long Of
ten fail TO come ont 50 we'll. II is
a natural thing for young people TO
marry at fairly early age, and
conditions are most favorable then
for developing loyal attachment and
bringing up a healthy family. The
time when a young couple are at the |
peak of their vigOr, and when they |
are able to toll and sacrifice and
live in a small way, is a good time to
begin this great venture.
They do well to take the advice of
parents and other older friends. 1t
Is amazing how some youngsters
will rush into matrimony at very
early ages. without any idea where
the money is coming from for their
support, or for the children that may
come. They don't seem to worry
more about the future than do the
birds building their nests. But
when Industrious yonng folks mar
ry, they can have the feeling that
the way viii open for them
to make good. Difficult times may
come, but family affection will help
live throughs them. !;
