Recent nomination of George C..
Peery as Democratic candidate for
Governor of Virginia, is held to have
removed all doubt as to Senator Harry
F. Byrd's supremacy as political arbiter
of the Old Dominion. The Byrd forces
were solidly behind Peery in the late
primaries and their triumph was over
whelming. As Senator Glass has more
or less withdrawn from the patronage
field, Senator Byrd seems now to be
functioning as the chief dispenser of
Roosevelt plums in Virginia. As a pro-
fessional "orchardist," plums are in
Byrd's line

1t will not be long now before Sep
tember is at hand it viii be here
almost before we know it, so fast does
this mysterious thing known as time"
hurl itself through space.
While one may therefore, let him
appreciate the languor of August.
Last Sunday was the perfect type of
the day one may enjoy, If one is capa-
bic of taking it easy enough to ap-
preciate it.
There are many good ways of en-
joying perfect days. of course, but in
the home garden one of the best ways
is to Just set"
A great improvement has been
wrought in garden furniture during the
past few years.
A veritable revolution has taken
place, with the result that lolling has
come into its own.
The vogue for the outdoor living
room" has made every one see. manu-
facturer and consumer alike. that the
same comfort ought to prevail in one
as in the other.
Hence there arose into being verita-
Bile avalanche of easy chairs, benches,
swings and the like
Most OF these incorporate an old
principle much in vogue in front of
the old-fashioned country hotels.
Do you remember how the drum
mers" used to tilt their chairs back
on the sidewalk. SO that the front legs
left the ground and the top of the
back touched the wall?
There they spent long hours, dis
cuSsing the state of the Nation. not
solely because they had nothing else
to do at the time, bu; mostly, We may
believe, because they were comfortable
Practically every one of the new
| types Of garden furniture incorporates
that same principle of the tilt.
Every straight surface, instead Of
being merely fiat, or upright. takes on
rakish angle, with the result that
the occupant is comfortable, though
seated.
In such chairs and on such benches
one is able to view the garden as it
ought to be viewed
Nor need it be a veritabe picture
garden. either
Such places are few and far between
and no doubt the builders thereof get
no more satisfaction out of them, by
and large, than the owner of an
ordinary garden gets from his plot OF
ground
Results Of the type which would
make good Photographic impressions
are not necessarily the only good re-
suits. especially in a world where the
doing. even before there are any re-
suits, is half the fun
In the making of a garden. at the
time the making is going on. lies the
most enjoyment OF this ancient sport
Hours Of planning, and re-planning go
into it; into even the smallest garden
go hopes and some little fears
Now all of these lie spread out in
the haze of a fine Sunday afternoon.
not too hot, not too cold. but just right
They are ours to enjoy. if we do not
grub too much. Grubbing is all right
IN its season, but is this the season ?
We do not believe SO. There will
always be enough work in any we'll
considered garden. but today let us sit
IN the yard and look at the beautiful
speciosum lily. 1t is ours.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEUELL,

Blends should beware of Lilium
speciosum magnificum when they go
a-strolling in the garden.
This fine lily, now in heavy bloom,
opens its flowers just about mead
height.
When the petals unfurl they hang
straight down, but later they curl
backwards.
Any fair-haired lady who incau-
tiously peers up at the flower will re-
ceive a nice smear of pollen, of which
she will be quite unaware.
She will present the appearance
however. of one of these so-called
dizzy blonds' who has achieved bright
hair by applied chemistry.
And the worst part of it, ladies of
angelic appearance, will be that 1t
won't brush off.
1t is not permanent. however.
A shampoo will remove all traces of
the pollen.
Perhaps such lily will bring home
to many person. through this I'M
promptu little trick, something of the
true beauty and interest of all flowers.
white blossoms. splattered with pink
dots. There is deep red streak
through the middle of each petal.
The downward hanging propensity of
most lily blossoms is a feature held
against them by many, who insist that
to view them properly one must stand
on ones head, difficult enough feat
at any time.
To stand on ones head in the gar

appeal to most of us as the very height

Yet many flowers would be worth it
if there were no other way to view
them.
Fortunately such gymnastics are not
required.
Few blooms ask that one bend the
knee even slightly to peer up into their
doWnWard-turned faces. In the case
of the lily inStanced this is Nature S
provision to insure proper fertilization.

the under side of l.. speciosum mag
nificum. where they brush off the vivid
pollen on wings and feet.
This is leisure time in the home
garden.
We would warn any one from doing
too much work in August.
1t ought not to be necessary now.
This is the languorous month, or
ought to be. in everybodys garden
Work as hard as one will. in the cul-
tivation of flowers o. vegetables, there
comes a time when nature orders an
end to all this pOther
Already she points to Autumn.
And do you know how she points?
X
Nature points with the chrysanthe-
mum bushes.
They are doing finely
Their leaves are growing up. the
plants are becoming bushy
Chrysanthemums doing well at this
time are sure signs that Autumn will
soon be here.
While August is going on it does not
seem as if Nature could ever change
things.
But Nature is as powerless to avert
such change as we are.

@. How soon after this country en-
tered the World War was the first Can
teen Corps Of Red Cross volunteers Or
ganized?-H. A. S.
A. The Red Cross Courier says that
the Washington Canteen Corps, under
the District of Columbia Chapter, was
the first. Several small canteens had
been organized along the Mexican bor-
der in 1916 before the United States
became involved in the World War.
@. What is suede?-D. N
A. Suede is usually mocha or lamb
skin tanned on the wrong or bleached
side or with the thin glossy outer grain
shaved or peeled off, leaving an un-
dressed surface.
@. Where is there a monument to
wheat ?-T T.
A. At Winnipeg a monolith has been
erected on the site of the mill where
| the first shipment of wheat from West
ern Canada was assembled. The mono
lith is a twelve-ton granite boulder ap-
propraitely inscribed to commemorate
the shipment, which left Winnipeg on
October 81, 1876.
@. What is the national language of
SWitzerland?-H A.
A. The principal languages of SWitZer-
land are German. spoken by II per cent
of the people; French, by 81 per cent,
and Italian, by 6 per cent. Other Ian
guages are Romanshe and Ladin. BY
the federal constitution of l048 and
1874, German, French and Italian are
recognized as national languages, so
that debates in the Federal Parliament
may be carried on in any of the three.
while federal laws and DEGREES appear
also in the three languages. The oler
dialects of Romanshe and Ladin do not
have any political recognition by the
confederation.
@. When did the Norwegian people
discontinue the changing of surnames
with each generation?-S. G.
A. 1t was never the practice of Nor
wegianS dwelling in cities in historical
times to change their names with each
generation, but this practice is still con-
tinued at the present time by people in
remote country districts.

States designed as the theeters of

@ What metals are attracted by
gold and silver?-H. c. H.
A. Neither gold nor silver ores are
magnetic.
@. Is it against the law for the
friends or relatives of kidnapped per-
son to pay ransom?-M. M o.
A. Technically, it is a crime to pay
ransom. 1t is compromising felony
kidnapping is a crime against the State
and any person who aids and encour-
ages the crime by reWarding it with
payment of ransom is guilty of law in
fraction. In practice, prosecuting at
torneys wink at this crime because Of
the human equation involved.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

n. r. A. Warning.
Among the calls to duty now,
AS patriotism makes its vow,
One call above the rest is heard:
Don't trifle with the eagle blrd!
He is no gentle dove to COO
Soft nothings that will charm the ZOO
His temper favors peace complete;
1t may not always be so sweet.
Don't tease the elephant nor try
To feed gorillas on the sly
But most of all, so comes the word,
Don't trif1e with the eagle bird.
