1t is seldom that anyone becomes a
writer until he Cor she) has been writing
for some time. That is why so many
authors and writers spring up out of
the newspaper business. The day-to-
day necessity of writing-of gathering
material about which to write-develops
their talent, their insight, their back
ground and their confidence as nothing
else could.
That is why the Newspaper Institute
OF America bases its writing instruction
on Journalism continuous writing -

FOLIAGE IN TREES

The growth of all young trees can be
speeded, and established trees whose
branches are dying, whose leaves
are scanty, faded, and fall too soon,
can often be brought back to vigor-
Gus health-e0sily.
These symptoms usually mean
starvation, and a real square meal
will cure them. What's more, it will
give your trees strength to resist
diseases, sometimes even to throt0 off
disease already established.
But don't bank on manures, bone
meal or sewage fertilizers to do the
job. For sure results, your trees
must have eleven different food ele-
ments from the soil, and ordinary
fertilizers supply only two or three.
Take no chances. Feed VIGORO,

throat thickened and the angry words
died abruptly. She tugged at the door
into the dance floor and flew through
it, her eyes wide and bright, her mind
tense with the problem of how to get
home quickly.
Then came the miracle. Bill and
Jim, tanned and sleek in their immac-
ulate dark coats and white flannels.
Without word Bill caught her in his
arms and started dancing She relaxed
with precious relief. This was some
thing like. How Bill could dance. She
didn't even reach his shoulder, but he
didn't take advantage of the fact to
smear himself all over her - he
danced. And he didn't smell of beer.
Then Jim cut in.
Oh, oh, this was different. Icicles
hanging all over the place now. Jim
didn't speak until the music stopped,
then he said, coldy:
Ready to 60 home now, Sue?" He
didn't even look at her, just took her
silence for agreement Well, she was
more than ready. "All right, we'll 60
over to your party and you gather up
your stuff"
1t was very quiet going home in the
little Car, tucked in between Jim and
Bill. She simply couldn't stand the
silence any longer. Better pull the
plug and let the food descend.
"What time is it?" A meek little
voice.
Twelve fifteen" She thought, you
could freeze ice cream with Jim's
voice.

Good. perhaps she could crawl into
bed before they came. She couldn't
take it tonight; she was worn down.
Anyway, it was easier to admit your
sins in the morning; you had the rest
of the day to let it wear off. But she
had to find out how they happened to
come.
why did you, mean. what made
you go to the Oriole?"
ASK Bill" She knew Jim could be
very grown-up on occasion but she
hoped it wouldn't get to be a per-
manent habit.
"Tell me, Bill, why all this hush
hush?"
"Well, Sue, you don't know what
kind of an egg this Simmons is. My
sister says none of the girls want to 60
out with him. He well, he ="
Jim forced him on. 60 ahead and
tell her, Bill. Maybe she'll ask me a
thing or two next time"
There certainly was something the
matter with Bill Even in the dim light
from the dash she could see the red
flow into his face. He started in again.
"You see, Sue, my sister says all he
wants to take girl out for is the
necking. And then the big swellhead
goes and tells all over town."
Sue was silenced She felt teary and
grateful and so ashamed. Now she'd
really done it; blueblack row ahead
with the family; she hoped she'd
smother before she ever wore red
again. Worst of all, now Bill would
always think Of her as that crazy kid
sister of Jim's. She relinquished her
dreams. But the feminine curiosity
just beginning to stretch uneasily
urged her on. 1t cost $3.50 each to
get into the Oriole. And after all,
$500 just to drag her home.
"Where'd you get the money!"

Sue wilted. Just one more nail in the
coffin. They were driving into the gar
age now. The boys were out of the
car and Jim had started down the
driveway to the curb with big bas-
