FINNISH PEOPLE

Not at Fighting in Air, on Sea, or Land. But of
 Poison Threat
By NORMAN B. DEUEL United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Stan C0rresp0ndent)
 Helsinki (Helsingfors), Dec. B. (UP)-Men, women and children, tense and fearful, watched the scud- ding iron gray storm clouds over Hel- sinki today, and listened for the drone of airplane motors, in the be- lief that Russia might at any hour launch ruthless poison gas attack on the city.
 Despite assertions in authorized Russian mediums that only military objectives would be attacked by red planes. the rumor spread through the capital during the night that a gas attack from the air, first in world history on such 0 city as Helsinki, impended.
 British consular officials were so alarmed at the rumor that they used the telephone to warn all British sub- jects to leave the city at once. Many had to be advised by courier.

Consider These Bulbs.

Check your notes of last spring
for the new varieties of bulbs you
wanted to try. A row of grape
hyacinths rather thickly planted three
inches deep makes a striking bor-
der of deep blue. So does scilla
Sibirica. Snowflakes (leucojum) +,
pure white with green dots in the
petals, give a nice effect in mid
May Bluebells and trillium planted
four inches deep will brighten shady
spots and fill in under large shrubs.
They flower in early May, then ripen
and die down.
Guinea-hen-flower (fritillaria) is
a dark purple flower with checks
on it, that is bit novel and does
well in some shade. The Spanish
Squill blooms in June on to IL
inch stems with attractive blue, pur-
pie, or white flowers. 1t fills an I'M
desirable void in many gardens be-
fore late June perennialS get under
way. Take handfulS of crocuS and
scatter them over the grass panel
and plant them where they fall. 1t
Will De just ike llllulIlS SOlO III yum
lawn next April. Put them down
about four inches and put a little
loose dirt, mixed with bonemeal or
complete plant food, about them. The
lawn won't be injured and neither
will your reputation as gardener
when they pop into early-spring
bloom.
Also try T. kaufmanniana, the
waterlily tulip in the so-called botan-
ical group of tulips-an unusual new
er type.
Bird houses are best liked by birds
if they are not new. AS they are
usually made of cedar, pine or other
resinous or odorous wood they need
to be exposed to the weather to get
rid of these smells. So it is always
advisable to put them in place in
the fall, or at least keep them out
doors for this purpose.

The little oxalis teaches a good
lesson. Not only will it refuse to
open its golden blossoms in sunless
room or on dark day but when
heavy clouds hide the sun it closes
its petals. 1t simply will not coun-
tenance the dark; for it the light alone
is real.
