Packers Snatch
ProGrid Title

The ponderous Green Bay Pack
ers won the professional football
championship for the fourth time
in 1936-one Of the most success
full seasons in the history of the
National league.
The Packers, western cham
pions, trimmed the Boston Red
skins, eastern le-holders, by 81
to 6 in New York at the Polo
Grounds in a thrilling battle.
Four new player records we're
set during the season, with Arnold
(F4ash Herber compiling two of
them and virtually passing the
Packers into the playoff.
Herber completed n tosses in
173 attempts for one new mark
and with the passes gained 1889
yards for another record.
Don HutSon caught 81 of
Heber's passes for 536 yards to
set the remaining two new stand
ards.
Earl Dutch) Clark Of the De
troit Lions was the only player
to retain a 1885 leadership. He
again topped the scorers, with 73
points.
Tuffy Leemans, of the New York
Giants, led the ground-gainers
with $50 yards.
The American Professional
League was started during the sea-
son, but failed to catch on and
probably will not be reorganized
for 1887.

'HTEIE name Of Daniel Webster

not merely for oratory of the

Webster was born at Sails

Forced Blossoms
Bring Winter Beauty
To Home

Small branches cut from trees or
shrubs and placed in warm water
inside the house will blossom e v
eral weeks before the advent of
spring.
A few such branches placed in
containers about a room will
brighten it with the effect of
spring while winter is still reigning
outside, said Miss Anne Pauline
Smith, district home agent at State
College.
The woods offer many possibili-
ties for indoor forcing, she pointed
out. The naples are lovely in old
brass, copper, or pottery containers.
The black alder, with its long red
dish brown catkins, makes an I'M
usually decorative plant for fore
ing.
The yellow jasmine, the lovely
vine which makes e1stern Carolina
woods so beautiful in spring, can be
forced quickly, Miss Smith said,
The gnarled forms of the flower
ing dogwood, the redstemmed dog
+! wood, and the spice bush are high
ly decorative.
Fruit tree blossoms - apples.
pears, peaches, and cherries as well
as the Towering crab, Japanese
cherry, and hawthorne-are favor
ties with many indoor gardeners.
! Wild plums, pussy willows, Jap
anese ounce, honeysucle, the max
ed jasmine, forsythia, deutizia, sy-
ringa, lilac, and the spireas are also
beautiful indoors when arranged
tastefully about a room.
If you wish to watch that mys-
terry called "life" unfold in deli
cate beauty, force some lilies-of-
the-valley. Place them in wet sand
or sphagnum moss which can be OBJ.
tanned from a florist.
A few simple rules should be OBJ
served, Miss Smith pointed out,
Take the chill off the water before
placing the twigs in it. Don't let
the plants get too cold at night Or
too warm during the day. Keep the
c%ontainer filled with water. Cut
healthy branches, not too old.

There seems to be nothing the
Young bride can't do nowadays
and still keep within the tenets of
good taste laid down by Mrs.
Grundy. She can be married in
pink. She can march to the altar
decked in diaphanous green. She
can be unconventional in white
cotton. And she can go complete
ly modern in a wedding dress of
sheerest wool. No longer is ivory
brocade an edict which the we'll
dressed bride must follow. 1t is
her privilege and duty to be beau
tifully gowned. The bars have

Whether you would set back the
clock, if you had it to do over
again, and veer away from an ivory
wedding gown, is beside the point
right now. The interesting factor
in this revolutionary trend in IA
brics, is that cotton can be SC
lovely and wool so sheer that it
can be draped to fit the majesty
of a wedding gown.

Box the bed with planks extend

touching the earth.
Or the bed may be covered with
a thin layer of oat OF wheat straw
with the canvas resting on the
straw. When the weather will
permit, roll back the cover 70,
