Travelling on an ocean liner, far beyond the
reach of the public press, one is likely to scan
eagerly the ships paper for the important hap
penings OF the day. especially If anything as
outstanding as o political convention is in
progress, as happened to be the case last Sum-
mer, when the writer was sailing in the high
seas.
Sometimes these bulletins are not gems OF
composition, and ones imagination must be
employed to find out what It Is all about, but

stances Is . more delightful diversion than

placed.

Most Of the annual plants In such o border

until the plants get q foothold late in the Fall.

with the peat moss, the natural moisture is

Such border. once established with q good
selection Of perennials forming the backbone of
the garden, offers an easily maintained source
Of bloom and at the same time lends itself to
great variety from year to year through chang
ing the ANIMALS used to fill out the bed. As the
perennials and the shrubs grow in size, the
bed can be widened gradually. moving various
plants within the border farther away from the
spreading shrubs Of the background. Such Q
background, incidentally, offers an impossible
hedge which stands as . sure barrier st the
border without the harshness Of fence.

Food Inspectors

THE task Of the Federal food and drug
administration. not generally appreciated
assumes huge proportions when thought is given
to the annual output Of canned foods and
pharmaceuticals and proprietary medicines.
In year the output Of canned goods runs
around three-quarters Of q billion dollars while
the drug and medicine outputs reach toward
the half billion dollar mark.
Naturally samples cannot be examined to
the extent that every pack is tested, but never
theless the Federal officials keep close tab on
the food and drug supplies by selecting samples
at strategic points and strategic times which
give them . fair cross section Of the production
OF the country.
When sample Of particular shipment Of a
food Is found to be unsafe for human use the
WORK OF the inspectors is 50 well organized that
tracers are sent out promptly on all shipments
from that particular stock and the goods seized
before reaching the public. Sometimes these
shipments are not caught until they have
reached the retailer, but their seizure Is lust as
sure. providing the goods have entered inter-
state commerce. Where the goods are intra-
state, however, the Federal officials have M
jurisdiction, but by close cooperation with State
omclas they see to 1t that the State officials
are warned In time for the local seixure before
the public obtains the dangerous material
Inc same close scrutiny Is maintained on an
products and all producers, regardless Of how
great the reputation for careful supervision
may be, are subjected to the test and investiga.
tion by the Federal officials.
Last year, LOOT prosecutions and l,260 seizures
OF yiolattve products testify to the energetic
work Of the inspectors

Planning Aids Border Development

HI present time, with the arrival Of the seed
catalogues. is the annual period Of greatest
ambition among the home gardeners who are
looking forward to Spring time with the out
door work among the flowers. It is the period
Of big plans which fade away as the heat Of
Summer advances. A selection Of desired seed
from the catalogues runs into astounding ig-
ues and requires an estate to accommodate all
the plants desired. Yet every year the home
gardener passes through this phase Of his out
door work.
It Is better to 60 at the problems from the
other direction, making an outline drawing of
the space available for flowers and marking In
the plan all the permanent plants now occupy
ing part Of the space. With the rest Of the
space open, the gardener then can determine
just what he wants and where he can place
the new plants desired. Then Is the time to
turn to the catalogues
A boundary line flower garden can be easily
developed with plenty Of opportunity for fu-
ture expansion and change by setting In the
background a line Of tall shrubs, such as
spirea, forsythia, lilac, SNOWFALL deutzia wigeila
and other bushes Of that type. These shrubs,
placed four feet apart, viii In two or three
years make solid background of varying To-
liage and blossom and time Of Towering which
makes an ideal starting point from which to
build down to the low edging plants Of the
border.
In the interim. while the shrubs are attain
ing their full growth dahlias delphinium, fox
glove or other types Of tallgrowing plants can
be placed In between the shrubs their rapid
growth filling the spaces between the bushes
In two or three years, however, the bushes
themselves will touch. BY topping the bushes
during the first few years Of their Life they
can be made to form hedge and then, If the
greater height is desired, they may be permitted
to follow their natural tendencies In growth.

emigrated our ancestors at one time or another.
Today our foreign origin Is lost in that great
American melting pot that has formed new
nation, and produced new type of man. And
so, Leyden should be dear to us because of its
early association with those who left in 1920
Tor America and whose descendants today
form q large part Of the people Of this country.
Even before the Puritans thought Of coming
to America, Leyden afforded them . refuge
and not without regrets did they leave there.
Dear and loving were the friends they left
here" 1t Is said, Ito meet them next In heaven"
Tenderly they remembered Leyden. And
here the dust of Robinson remains. These
memories endear to us, and will endear to our
posterity, the very name Of Leyden. Long may
its ancient towers salute the sun that rises and
be gilded by the sun that setsI Long may it
flourish, foster learning, and rejoice! Happy
and honorable be its future years! Often shall
the Western breezes bear to it the benisons OF
the children of the Pilgrims!"
A DAY or two ago the writer was looking

Mayhower Descendants. It included thousands
OF names Of those who could trace their an

Roosevelt which was an intermarriage but he
did see about three pages of Delanos, the ma
ternal ancestral line Of the gentleman who will
occupy the White House in less than months

First -AmerIcan Shoemaker

ONE Of Americas leading industries, shoe
making, has . history which dates way
back to the Mayhower days. It is recorded that
the first shoemaker to reach the colonies was
one Thomas Beard who came over on the third
voyage Of the Maydower.
At that time, Of course, all shoes were made
by hand. system Of manufacture which was
general until In 1910. when N. J. Brunei, an
Englishman, invented . mailing and lasting ma

When our boat left New York. the Democrats
were preparing for their quadrennial nonlina-
tions at Chicago, and many on board were anx-
ious to learn who was going to be nominated
for the presidency, although this seemed to be
foregone conclusion before we left the States.
THE young man at the wireless ticker was
evidently not versed in the English Ian
guage. and the ships printer apparently was
unable to come to his rescue. Naturally this
resulted in some ambiguous statements and
many errors, but we felt grateful nevertheless.
On July the Daily Ocean News carried for
our Information the following item, which Is
given. errors and all:

Ton Priscilla Mullins.
"Eet us try to picture the scene" says an old
story of this celebrated love affair: "Tne
pretty Priscilla is sitting at her wheel, and she
does not look like one Of the Fates who are
drawing out the thread Of hfe. She wears on
her head a small cap, for the WATERFALL or
the rat had not been invented. Her dress
we'll, white jacket made Of linen is belted
about the waist with q white cord and meets
the blue woolen petticoat, which harmonizes
well with the deep gray eye fair face and silky
hair Of the lady. OF what Is she thinking?
OF whom? Is 1t of the slender .dark-eyed
young cooper who came on the ship when she
put back to England? The saying was then
old: Speak Of the devil, and he is at your
elbow
When the young John Alden appeared be-
fore her, with hat in hand and wearing a
DOUBLING look, why did the pretty Priscilla
blush as she answered his good-day?' Only
that she was surprised; for no good girl then
would be spending her time in wanton thoughts,
wondering and wishing that the one she loved
or might love. was at her side.
John had an errand, and how was he to
ten it? He was loves messenger, coming from
Myies Standish-Myles, who was the captain OF
Pilgrim soldiers, ready at q moments warning
TO buckle on his sword and fight. He was SO
yearc old How old!
1T was not easy to tell his errand, we may
wen believe. That he brought in the name OF
Ire captain, told Of his virtues, was certain;
but when he said, And Capt Standish likes
you, Priscilla we can see the toss of that head
and the glance Of the dernure eye at the hesi-
tating John.
He likes you and wants to marry you
Nonsense. Johnl Don't talk such things
TO me-
sent me to say so to you,
Then Priscilla jumped from her wheel ana
ran out of the room. leaving John to wonder
was she angry?-was she willing? What was
ns TO DO? For he must carry back an an
