Hr. Fixit: II wpuld be a fin.

aftie's Woodland park. Folk,
could find their friends SO much
easier when getting together for
. picnic. As II II we have "a
hook AL over the place. Cant
you do something about IL +.
You fin 30 many things for
people. PICNICkER.
The park board has consid-
cred numbering the stoves but
since the layout il different
from that of Woodland park II
has been found more convenient
10 designate the six picnic
grounds by location. Picnickers
arrange TO meet at the main
picnic ground, the old rustic
bridge. the beach picnic ground.
on the sea wall, the point picnic
ground. and Fort Nisqually.
Each of those has one or two
stoves and the main one not
10 many that you couldn't find
your party fairly easily.
Mr.. Ffxlt: Would you please
tell me- n the apples On Jap
Anese current bushes are edible:
Some grow n big NJ = small
apple and somewhat resemble
pears. n. VI.
We take Ii you mean Jap
anese ounce. The fruit of that
tree Ia edible but not palatable
unless you have unusual tastes.
1t tastes az much like cork as
anything else. The fruit some
times grows as heavy as two
pounds.
Mr.. Fixit: Would You please
let us know II Hitler has . mid
die name. II 80, what Ia IL.
Would yon please tell us his
full name. MRS. c. F.s.
As far an We can learn his
true name is simply Adolf Hit
Ter. Life magazine once printed
his fathers name as Alois
Schicklgruber, but we under
stand that was a maternal
name and not properly used, so
1t can't be attributed to Hitler
himself.
Mr.. Ffxit: Can you tell me
what to do for hollyhocks The
lower leaves on each stalk are
turning brown and are falling
off. Perhaps they have what 10
called rust" but I'm not sure.
r. N.
That probably is the old holly
hook rust which usually blows
over from snapdragon rust. You
may be able to control 1t by
flour of sulphur around
or spraying with any antitrust
mixture you buy. but 1t is adj
vised to plant hollyhocks prefer
ably on new ground and not
near snapdragons.
Mr.. Fixit: II wife loses her

band by divorce, what are the

You stilf can call them in
laws, II you wish. Relationships
complicated in such ways are
whatever you care to make them.
Mr.. Fixit: Would you please
tell me what age = girl must he

nut her parents consent.
READER.
The girl must be Is years old.
The husband-to-be must be 81
before he can wed without his
parents approval.
MIR. Fixit: Is the Tacoma
Chamber Of Commerce incorpo-
rated: Also, School District
No. 10: II. j. L.
That Is a cnriously timely
question. The Tacoma Chamber
of Commerce at the moment is
not Incorporated. The old Ia
coma Commercial club was. and
so was the combined Chamber
of Commercial and Commercial
club. But in becoming the
chamber as IL now exists. for
some reason the corporation
never was carried on. That
wasn't discovered by the pres
ent officials until recently. They
are in the process now of having
the body officially incorporated
as a non-profit corporation.
The school district is not
corporation. II is In the same
classification as the county gov
