seems to have put "damper" on the

first time was in Venice where Hitler
called on MuSSolini about four years
ago. This time Mussolini was to call
on Hitler at his country retreat at
Berchtesgaden in Bavaria; is prob
ably there when these lines are being
read.
Common Attitude.
The MuSSolini-Hitler conference
will no doubt officially be described
as inoccuous and "solely personal"
But all the world realizes that these
two men will not waste their time
in exchanging mere friendly and po-
lite platitudeS; it also realizes that
it will be told very little of what
they actually discuss
1t is surmised that they will jointly
strengthen their attitude toward lib
eralism and democracy in all their
varying forms; they will also take
up the question of joint action in
regard to new Locarno treaty Gf
that ever comes about), and they will
continue to agree that Austrian in
dependence must be respected Then,
and that is likely to be the most i'm
portant feature of the meeting, they
will discuss their policy in connec-
ton with the Spanish civil war, and
this is precisely where danger looms,
for there are indications that Italy
and Germany, both regarding the
legitimist Spanish government as
Bolshevist, soon will increase their
support of the Spanish rebels. If
they do, complications with Great
Britain, France and Russia are al
most certain-for these three powers
most heartily dislike the rise of a
new fascist empire in southern Eu-
rope. In other words, new history
may be in the making at Berchtes-
gaden, but in what manner, no one
can know at the present moment.

Easy Ways to Propagate From Leaves.

Easy Ways to Propagate From Leaves.
Rex Begonia:-Cut leaf with an
inch or so of stem; place in water
which must always cover the center
of the leaf where it joins the stem.
Little leaves form on the upper side
near the stem, rootlets below it.
Large-leaved Tuberous-rooted Be-
gonias:-Cut leaf, leaving several
inches of stem, and place in water
Roots form readily on cut portion of
STEM
Gloxinia:-The same as Begonia.
l have had bulblets, roots and small
leaves all starting at once at the end
of the stem which was under water
African Violet:-When the plant is
through blooming, cut off as many
of the larger leaves as you want
Insert them in a flower pot filled
with very fine sand. Keep we'll
watered. AS long as the leaves stand
erect and green you may know roots
are forming. On examining some of
these leaves have found both rootlets
and leaves forming on the end of the
stem in the sand.
Sand from river beds or the sea
shore is a fine medium for starting
leaves, especially river sand as there
is some fine rich soil in it also l use
this to sprinkle over seedlings or
fine seed.

And started to the town

And the bingham gown.
The shops were glittering with things
Of beauty and of grace;
saw a little silver fan,
I saw a gold vase
I never reached the counter where
They kept the crooks and pans;
l could not pass the vases by,
I could not leave the fans.
1 bought the little golden vase,
l bought the fan, and went
Home again, within my hands
Not single cent.

The other needs are there,
But 1 have two such lovely things,
And l don't care!

September is regarded as the best
month to set new varieties of peonies;
also to dig up and divide old peony

less there is some other good reason
for doing SO. You will like the fol-
lowing varieties, if you do not know

pink, changing to white; Floral Treas
ure and Germaine Bigot, light pink;

bloom in mid-June

Peonies should be given an open,
sunny situation in well-drained soil
Dig deep, and thoroughly pulverize
soil, scooping out place for roots. In
some cases, it might be well to substi-
tute good garden soil for soil dug out.
Use no fresh fertilizer; bonemeal is
a help. Be stingy in covering; two
inches is plenty; less is all right.
Settle soil firmly around and between
roots; thorough watering will do this.
