Sow CoIumbine Seed Early
For Bloom Next Spring
BY THE AMATEUR GARDENER

EVERY GARDENER will en-
JOY the superb beauty of the
aquilegia or columbine. which
provides an abundance of large
long-stemmed blooms in late
Spring. Columbines will last for
years, yielding masses of grace
full cut flowers.
The columbines are appropri-

border. the wild garden, the
cutting garden or the perennial
garden. If you want columbine
this season you must plant size
able plants at once, but seeds
may be planted any time now
and they will make blooming
plants next Spring.
Seeds are slow to terminate.
but you can depend on them to
grow, as they are always reli-
able if the soil is kept fairly
moist and shaded. Plants from
the seeds should be transplanted
in September to their perma-

Divide Roots in Fall
The columbines and especially

root divisions. This work should
be done in the Fall. If these

But No Dowry

As you know, in those days a
girl could not marry without a
doWry. What to do in this sad
state Of affairs To the rescue
Of romance rushed the heroine'S
understanding and ingenious
friends.
Bearing lovely gifts they came
10 her home-showered her with
presents. Here was her dowry.
Love triumphed. That's how
showers were born,
II was such a perfect idea,
this plan of showering the bride
te-be with gifts, that il has pres
pered ever since. Even the word
shower is an enchanting one
for this informal party given in
honor of the bride-to-be. a merry
gathering of her close friends.
Two Types
In general, showers are Of two
kinds: a gathering of intimate
friends with the addition of pres
ent-giying; or party tricked up
with stunts, as to decorations.
games, presentation. Whichever
kind is chosen, there should be
an attractive table-setting: an
appropriate color scheme. inter-
esting food.
The invitations are sent out
about two weeks before the date
of the party. The form of invi-
tations? Friendly little notes
may be written, or the invita-
tons may be written on the
hostess visiting cards or infor-
mails, like a tea invitation.
Special shower invitations NAV
be bought at the stationer's. If
there is a rhymester in the
group. she may happily turn
words to an invitation-in-verse,
If only few guests are 10 be

Close Friends

Another question of form:
Should mere acquaintance be
invited TO a shower" Generally
speaking, no. The fact that
that there is a gift-responsibility
definitely suggests that only
close friends should be invited.
Should men be invited to a
shower? Usually showers are
given in the daytime, and men
aren't invited. However, if men
are invited. the shower is given
in the evening, and the shower
itself is held before the hour set
for the arrival of the men guests.
Then the party develops into a
dance or a bridge party.

France concerning the joint defense

Press Sharply Critical.
The japanese press was sharp in
its criticism of the Netherlands
Indies as tool of the United States
and Britain. and it seemed the situ-
alton undoubtedly would grow worse
after the banning of East Indies oil
shipments.
This news came close behind new
and stricter gasoline rationing. 1t
was likely that taXls would be fur
ther limited to seven gallons a
month, starting in August.
Already the Standard Oil Co. has
been forced to suspend local retail
sales because it is unable to receive
payments for its products as a re-
suit of the freezing orders.
American business was at a vir-
tual StandStill. The only United
States firms not blocked were those
in which japanese had more than
so per cent interest such as the
Japan plant of International Cen
eral Electric.
The situation indicated the gov

German and Italian precedents.
The Finance Ministry was
swamped with various freezing
orders. and officials who Yesterday

Mediation Board Gets
Two New Disputes

By the Associated Press.
Upon certification by the Labor
Department, the National Defense
Mediation Board today had two new
disputes before it for settlement.
Both involved threatened strikes to-
day by G. l. 0. unions.
Employees of the Los Angeles plant
of the Aluminium Corp. of America
threatened to walk out in an effort
to enforce demands for increased
wages, union shop and other con-
cessions. The union asked that the
minimum starting rate be raised
from SO to 81 cents an hour. The
company offered a scent raise with
bonuses for night workers.

Here Is Told

Pointing out that modern wars
ARE won in plants. where the equip

chief of the Labor Departments Di-
vision of Labor Standards, declared
today the United States cannot
spare a single mechanic"
Addressing a conference of regional
representatives and State chairmen
of the National Committee for the
Conservat ton of Man Power in De-
fense Industries, set up by Secretary
Perkins last year, Mr.. thinner
stressed the need for Nationwide
drive to curb the mounting accident
toll in defense industries.
William Cameron, head of the di-
Visions safety unit presided at the
meeting. In addition to regional
representatives and State chairman,
the conference was attended by
many safety engineers employed by
the committee. Congress recently
appropriated 100000 to help the
Labor Department carry out its de-
fense safety program.
In Wisconsin. where safety work is

mer told the conference. In other
States accidents are increasing un-
der the expanding defense program,
he said. Last year industrial acci-
dents caused 1900 deaths and 90
900 injuries.
Though it obviously would be i'm
possible to eliminate all deaths and
injuries in defense industries, we
can certainly put the brake on acci-
dents" Mr.. Zimmer said.

Electricians Strike
Threatens BROOKLYN
Navy Yard Projects
5000 Go Out in New York
And 250,00 May Be
Involved Ultimately
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. July 29.-Construc-
ton work throughout Manhattan
was tied up today by an in
dustry wide electrical workers
strike which threatened to ham,
per defense projects at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard and elsewhere.
The Walkout was called by the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers "a. F. L.. which
said 5000 skilled craftsmen were
affected. AS the result of a jurisdic-
tional dispute.
Although the union previously
had announced defense work would
not be affected, strike leaders said
the stoppage had spread spontane-
ously TO the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
the Robins Dry Dock in Brooklyn
and several airplane and instrument
plants in Long Island City.
Navy Yard Workers Quit.
An official at strike headquarters
said: The men just refused TO go
to work on those jobs when all the
other electrical installation work in
the city stopped this morning"
Capt. E B. Smith of the Navy
Yard said 100 electrical workers had
walked off projects in the yards
100000 expansion program. This
development, he said. had caused
TOO other workers in various build
ing trades to stop work because they
could not continue without having
certain electrical devices installed.
He added that 1000 other building
trades workers gradually would be
affected if the strike continued.
Called Protest Stoppage."
Harry Van Arsdale, jr., union buSi-
ness manager, said the action was
a protest stoppage resulting from a
dispute between local No. 3 and the
Consolidated Edison Co. principal
light and power company in the
five Manhattan boroughs.
The union had demanded the
company employ about 600 union
members in construction of new
Manhattan power plant. The strike
was voted last night at a meeting
of nearly 5000 workers. Of the 5000
strikers, 1900 are maintenance men
employed by contractors and con-
Germs within the city.
After the vote, SpokeSmen said

East Asia as including China, Man.

Philippines, Malaga and Burma.
Closer Ties Held Necessary.
1T is necessary to make closer ties
between Japan, Manchukuo and
China, while steps should be taken
so as the South Sea areas may keep
in step with Japan to proceed toward
accomplishment of their ideal" va

There should be emancipation of

However. the yokes from which
Japan intends to free ASiatic races

difficult task. Japan is faced with
many difficulties and troubles in

difficulties is the mission imposed

prevent harm to public services such
as street lighting and traffic signals
and defense industries.
250,0O0 May Be Affected.
Possibility that the Building
Trades Union, employing approx
imately 250.000 men in new con-
struction, might go out in sympathy
arose when union leaders pointed
out that without electrical installa-
tions walls of houses could not be
finished and floors could not be laid.
Airplane plants in Long Island
City where electrical installation was
affected we're the Brewster Aero
nautical Co. and the Ford Instru-
ment Co. Large non-dpfenSe jobs
affected included all installation
work of the telephone company and
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co.'S huge housing development in
the Bronx.
Among the more specific points of
dispute with Edison. said Nj Van
Arsdale, was the unions contention
that workers on the plant were conf
pany union men employed at 81 an
hour while the A. F. l.. rate was 50.
Company Cites Contract.
The Edison Co. contended 1t had
a contract with the other organiza-
ton, the Brotherhood of Consoi-
dated Edison Employees. and was
within its right and under Obliga-
ton to fill Jobs with members of
that organization.
Some union officials indicated
that arrangements might be made
later today to insist upon reSump-
ton of installation jobs in defense
construction work.
One spokesman, however, said it
would rest with the defense job
workers alone whether they re-
turn to work.
I'VE did not take them off the
jobs. and we can't send them back y
he said. The men did it them
selves"
Mayors Aide Comments.
Another leader added that 1T had
not been the intention of the union
or its officers to cause any disturb
ance of the defense program. The
temper of the men this morning was
such that they insisted on 100 per
cent stoppage of electrical installa-
ton all through the city"
Mrs. Ethel S. Epstein, Mayor La
Guardia's labor secretary. said the
purely jurisdictional aspect of the
strike made it appear that the City
Mediation Board could not be effec-
/ tive at this stage.
! 1T looks as though a good long
