SPEEDY ARMY UNIT
URGED FOR ITALY
Permanent Frontier Guard
Would Be Trained to Get
Jump on Foes.

ROME (P.-A permanent frontier
guard Of intensely trained quick &C
ton" troops, prepared to strike at a
moments notice, was recommended Tor
Italy by Gen. Francesca Grazion. re-
porting in the Senate on the war de-
partment's budget for the fiscal year
beginning July l.
The time factor, he predicted, will
be of decisive influence in future wars.
Troops of the kind he mentioned would
be equipped with powerful, but easily
pLrtable artillery. They would swing
automatically into action at the OUT
break Of hostilties, seeking to take and
hold the offensive while the slower army
units were being modified and moved
TO the front.
He took pains to explain that an
offensive in this sense would be merely
part Of the country's defense. ItalyS
military leaders have frequently ex-
pressed the opinion that the best de-
tense in modern war is to strike first
and take the initiative away from the
enemy. They have quite frankly built
their plans on this theory.
Concrete proof Of the Fascist regimes
peaceful intentions Is to be found, Gen.
Grazioh said, in the fact that the new
budget totals approximately $4,000, 600
less than that of the current fiscal
year. The cut was made from figure
previously set as the absolute mini
mum" compatible with national safety.

NANCY PAGE
House Chairs Covered With
Waterproof for Porch Use.
By FLORENCE Ia GANKE.

Nancy was hunting for some sort OF
covers which she could put on chairs
for her Summer porch. She knew that
she ought to use chairs already In her
possession, and not spend money for
new ones. She had some fine folding
bridge chairs. Since her terrace was
small and space was at premium she
believed that small, light chairs Of that
sort would prove desirable.
She shopped around for waterproof
material She found that chintz had
been water pr9ofed and that there was
a heavier material which had been
given a permanent texture of water
proofing. She found q thinner. more
flexible material which was used for
shower curtains. This material, like the
waterproof chintz, was patterned.
Pleating of glazed chintz with or
without a eerding in contrasting color
was in the shops. OF course this was
not waterproof, but the sales people
believed that it would resist the ordi-
nary moisture Of dewy Summer
morning or evening.
The small figured waterproof chintz
was chosen for the small chairs. The
covers we're made in two pieces, one
slipped over the back of the chair and
the second became a seat pad. Both
used the pleated rufflng for finish.
For the large tubular chair Nancy
had cushions made. These were
slipped" with the waterproof textured
material. For this she chose white and
had the piping done in green.

mind and body If she expects to take
her place in business, social or home
life. She must be alert, physically and
mentally, able to cope with the prob
lens of our complicated modern world
There are so many aids to beauty
and health on the market today that
it is no wonder the busy woman be-
comes confused, and she wonders just
what method is>best suited to her indi-
vidual needs. Facial and body massage,
for example, has been an established
part of milady's beauty regime for gen.
erations. Many women want to know
whether they are still considered neces-
sary to beauty and why. My answer
is yes. The purpose of facial massage
is to encourage the skin and muscles
to do their proper work by stimulating
the circulation of the blood through
them
Poor circulation is shown in sallow
compilations, f1abby muscles and many
other beauty and health problems. The
blood vessels of the skin hold large
proportion of the whole volume of the
blood, which becomes impure and slug
glSn unless IL Is kept ClrCulaIlnB aC-
lively. BY the time the blood stream
has reached the tiny capillaries Of the
facial skin it has spent much of the
force given to it by the heart beats, SO
that 1t is often advisable to stimulate
the circulation by facial and body mas
sage as well as exercise
The blood vessels of the skin are
under the control of delicate nerve
fibers which are influenced by the at
mospheric conditions, bathing, elec-
trfcity massage and exercise. Body and
facial massage appear to increase the
positive electrical energy of the body
by generating electric currents through
the nerves.

Whether it is for flowers or for vege-

and to watch the little plants "come
up
May is a better month than June
for planting many kinds of seeds; but
it is not too late even now to start a
garden. There are vegetables which will
grow well when seeds are planted in
June If you would like facts about
the best time to plant certain kinds OF
vegetables or flowers, read the directions
on the packages.
I planted some golden bantam corn
last month, and hope to have q small
Crop this summer. Sweet corn cooked
and eaten within an hour or two after
it is picked seems to taste better than
corn bought from a store.
I am interested in my garden this
year, but my interest is not nearly so
keen as it was long years ago when,
at the age Of 8, planted few
handfuls of common navy beans. I
could hardly wait for them to come up.
Once or twice dug down in a hill to
see whether the seeds had started to
sprout.
At last the bean plants came into
view. On dry days gave them water
and on at least one day lay down on
the sandy soil, beneath a broiling sun
and gazed at the plants as closely as
could, trying to SEE them grow!

Buttercups.

Buttercups.
THE buttercups briTht-eyed and bold,
Held up their chalices of gold
To catch the sunshine and the dew.
~ F course you have held a shiny
buttercup under your play
mates chin to see If she liked
" butter, and you may have
found out that the marsh
marigold and the dandelion, too, will
reflect their color in clear skin. but
the buttercup is the favorite tester.
The bright, golden flowers, swaying
from their slender footstalks. are the
bane Of the farmers life. The butter
cup is golden only in looks and not in
behavior. She secretes poisonous or
bitter juices which even the grazing
cattle know about. Children with in
quiring minds and determination to
experiment have found out that chew
ing the stem resulted in bhstered
mouth.
The buttercup family believes In
massed color for advertising its wares.
They spread themselves over swamps,
meadows. grassy places and roadsides,
to attract the attention of their spe-
cial agents, the bees, wasps and bee
ties. Sixty species of nectar-seekerS
have been found among them-a rich
hunting ground for the young natur-
alist.
The. swamp buttercup loves the
moist lowlands and here this flower
developes great shiny petals. Some
times the smooth plant, with her
mottled leaves, takes root at the joints
Of her branches, which lie on the
ground, and sends forth runners. The
stems, bearing flowers, always ascend.
These flowers are seen from April
until July. When the buttercup first
opens, all the anthers are huddled to-
gether in the center They look like a
nest of fairy eggs. Then the filaments
stretch up and lift the anthers into a
loose, round tuft, fairly hiding the
group of pistils which are packed snug
ly under every stigma. They are lying
low and biding their time. When the
filaments bend backward, throwing the
anthers in fringy circle about the
green pistils, they stand upright and
send up short, yellowish stigma. The
anthers open so they are too far away
for the pollen to touch the pistils.
The petals and sepals sometimes fall

the design in mercerized embroidery
floss. Make four of these cross stitched
squares Turn in the edges and baste
them down. Position one of these en-
broidered squares diagonally across each
corner of the cover and little way
from edges. The bottom of the design
should come toward outside of the
cover. Fell these pictorial patches down
to the cover. Put border of the same
material as the applique patches all
about the cover, and sew tapes near cor
ners to tie the cloth securely to the
table.

tern of the little lady walking in her
! garden, a reprint has been made, and
patterns are now available at 10 cents
each, with self-addressed, stamped
envelope and a request directed to
Lydia LIE Baron Walker, care of this
paper.
When the design is worked in filet
crochet, use cotton the color of the
cloth. Sew the finished f1let to a
square of contrasting color 11a inches
larger than the filet medallion. The
material under the fllet can be left or
cut away as preferred. Applique the
completed squares, one in each corner
as described, and edge the cover with
the same material as the appliqued
patches.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE.

For you're full to the brim with self
pity
While you stick at the old daily grind
But yet, If your freedom were granted,
And you wandered the open at last,
1t never would be as enchanted
As 1t was in the days of the past.
And even the while you were packing
The thrill would not quite be the
same;
You'd discover that something was lack
ing
Though you never could call it by
name.
The cataracts still would be falling
And mantling the boulders with
spray,
The orioles still would be calling
Defiance to hawk and to jay,
But once there was something within
you
Which Nature can never restore:
You still may have courage and sinew,
But you are not boy any more.
Hence Its Name.
