Flowering Almond
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

ONE of the most charming of old
American customs. observed
chiefly south of the Potomac, Is the
planting of the Towering almond. 1t
was usually set out around graves,
but it was quite unlike most of the
old grave plants like cypress, cypress
spurge and periwinkle, intended to
suggest grief or at least sentiment.
Flowering almond, with its low,
slender wythes, laden with blossoms
in early Spring, suggests only resur-
rection joy. 1t is as if the sleepers
were to be reminded that Spring and
beauty had returned to the world.
The Towering almond is the first
of the great clan of prunus cherries,
plums. peaches, almonds and april
cotS) to awake in Spring
In all this world. there is nothing
quite so lovely as little peach
orchard in Spring, and there is an
especial charm about it in the Blue
Ridge country. I can remember once
coming down in heavy mist on the
wrong (the south) side of mountain
and seeing, In a cleft in the soft mist,
a whole valley floor covered with a
sheet of pink from the peach trees in
bloom. The uneXpectedness of get
ting into the wrong valley was enough
to give me the feeling of foreign
travel; the sudden vision through the
mist completed my sensation that ]
had somehow got to Japan!

Psychology

Imagination.

1maglnatlon.
IMAGINATION makes the mind. In
other words, the situations you are
able to see by mental pictures very
largely determine what you are and
what you yet may be.
Some minds work on the past. The
best of these turn out to be historians
and biographers Try this one: What
would the world be like today il
America had not been discovered until
1892? Or what would life be like to-
day with all our modern inventions
except the internal combustion en-
gine?
Other minds do their picturing in
terms of the future. Try this one:
How will we be getting our news 10C
years hence?
Still other minds do their imagin-
ing in terms of personal tastes and
ambitions. Suppose you are men,
Der of the great middle class. Do you
find yourself sometimes picturing
yourself as a multimillionaire? Or
how would you feel if you were one
of the millions who are now unable
to find employment?

When the Norman foot-soldiers ad-

blows from battleaxes. Some Of them

 It is now stored along side or the BfOWer whaling Sta- tion, where it is safe from molestation by souvenir hunt CTS.
 It is expected that the air plane may be shipped to the states next summer. Brewer believes the motor is in per- feet shape despite the tragic crash. He expected the auth critics will want to examine the motor of the plane to see if any defects in the structure caused the mishap.
