Hazards Of the Home
Greater Than Automobile

for an electrical switch or fixture
Some defect leads to contact with
the current. Leakage around cleo
trio switches and instruments of all
kinds is almost always possible.
Automobile Home Hazard
Another home hazard partly con-
nected with the automobile is car
bon monoxide poisoning. Do not
leave your car with the motor rum
ming inside a closed garage. Even
for a short time, and especially II
you are inside the garage also. Car
bon monoxide, which comes out OF
the automobile exhaust, does not
give any warning. even to the sense
Of smell.
For the treatment Of the patient
with low voltage shock, as well
as the patient with carbon monox-
ide poisoning, the treatment is arti-
fetal respiration, even If the case
looks hopeless.
Z Household dry cleaning is haz-
ard, especially in the winter. Keep
the windows open If you are going
to dry clean at home. A prominent
hygienist says he is opposed to the
practice Of selling any volatile SOW
emit for dry cleaning, at least in gall
lon packages. No matter If they
are labeled, the labels are not read.
A housewife buys gallon and
washes half q dozen dresses in
small room, hanging them up to dry
while she goes on working. Doing
everything, in fact, to assure that
she will be poisoned. And she
often is.

- REAT progress has been made
In the last few years In the
Y / improvement OF the Eladio-
~ lus, affectionately referred to
by the growers as "glads." Amateurs
and experts have created many very
beautiful forms. Today these flowers
are among the most prized for Sum-
mer planting.
Luther Burbank was very much in
trigued with the gladiolus. It offered
so much to the grower interested in
hybridization. Slightly over rs years
ago there were something like 400
named varieties American grown, and
about 100 Of European origin.
Most Of the varieties were variegated
IN color, some of them fluted and 9TH
ers exquisite solid colors. Burbank ex-
perimented until he developed a spe-
cies that could stand the hot, parch-
ing winds. These flowers had stiff
petals, quite different from those Of
moist climates. The growers Of glad
ioluses Of California and Arizona found
they could have these charming now-
ers during the months when rains
were scarce.
1t has been found that cross breeds
are the most satisfactory, producing
offspring that are dependable, sturdy
and easily grown.
The fact that these plants are not
temperamental has made them IA
vorites over many other garden now-
Evening star., 1937-08-18

In the Spring and spacing the planting
about two weeks apart until July, you
will reap 4 harvest Of gladioluses all
through the Summer and late Fall
One OF the things that make this
plant SO desirable Is its habit Of de-
veloping 50 many buds along the slen-
der spike. When the blossoms begin
to unfold, the lower ones do 50 first.
You can take stalk indoors, place 1t
in vase or bowl Of water and have
fresh flowers for a week. All you have
to do Is to replace the amount of water
used, cut of the dead blossoms and
enjoy daily the beautiful new face
on the stalk.
The American Gladiolus Society, or
ganized In Boston on May ~, 1910, has
been responsible for the rapid popu-
larity Of the gladioluses, for it was the
special desire of the founders to "stim-
ulate interest in, ane promote the
culture and development of the glad
iolus; to establish a standard nomen-
clature, to test out new varieties and
to give them such recognition as they
deserve"

BANK CONTROL ACTS
3 Of Alberta's Latest Social Credit
Measures Wrecked by
Decision.

OTTAWA, August 18 canadian
Pres)-Three statutes requiring bank
ers of Alberta to take out provincial
licenses and subject their policies to
the control of the Provincial Credit
Commission were voided yesterday by
the Dominion government.
The statutes, passed during a four
day special session Of the Alberta Leg
klature early this month, were the
latest major measures of Alberta's s
social credit government headed by
Premier William Aberhart.
Banks operated under Dominion
charters were within the scope Of the
act.
Prime Minister Mackenzie King said
the action had been delayed, pending
discussion the past week with Pre-
mier Aberhart Of the possibility of q
test OF the acts in the Supreme Court
OF Canada. Hon. Ernest Lapointe,
minister OF justice, precipitated the
action, declaring the Alberta Legisla-
ture deliberately attempts to inter-
fere with the operation of Dominion
laws and to substitute laws and insti-
tutions Of its own for those legiti-
mately enacted and organized by Par
lament"
"Our action must be constitutional"

Of the decision.

HOUSEWIVES no'longer need send
IL out an sos for two-fisted hubby
to put on kitchen wrestling match in
opening some containers, which, like
small boys, often stubbornly refuse to
have their caps removed. Homemakers
generally prefer the screw-on type Of
closure for glass jars, but even that
popular cap sometimes is difficult to
remove.
This perplexing problem has been
solved by one progressive closure man
ufacturer who has introduced what is
appropriately called a knife-opening
cap. The cap is made of metal and
differs from other closures in that on
it's top is grooved slot.
To open any glass container equipped
with this type of closure, simply tap
around the outer rim of the cap with
the knife handle, insert the blade of an
ordinary table knife into the groove in
the top of the cap. This supplies the
necessary leverage to enable one to un-
screw the cap. To reseal the jar, screw
the cap on tightly by hand, or if you
wish, you may again use the leverage
of the knife to effect seal as tight as
the original.
Consumers acceptance of this new
type cap is evidenced by the report
from the manufactures that many mil
lions have been sold to food packers
since the first of the year.

It has been said that beverages are
the main stay of the hostess especially
when there are unexpected guests. 1t
is true that most anyone can serve
cold lemonade, hot chocolate, iced tea,
, or iced coffee, but the smart hostess is
the one who has list of new and in
teresting beverages in her recipe file
that will delight her guests, rather than
just please them.
Grape juice is one of the most versa
tile of the natural fruit beverages, and
from it many delicious drinks can be
made. Served plain or in combination
with other beverages, it makes o popu-
lar year round drink Because of the
richness of grape juice, it will permit
diluting and thus reduces the proper
tionate cost to the consumer.
With the approach of the summer
season it will be well to check over your
supply of bottled beverages, particu-
larly grape juice, so that you will be
well prepared to make any of the de-
lcious drinks that follow. It is such
an inexpensive drink and finds SO
many uses in the home that no one
should be without it.

the Frosted Grape Juice Whip, and it
