 Churchill made his brief speech to 5000 defense workers at an open air gathering in Hyde Park, shortly before his big luncheon speech.
 Bomb At Heavy Rate
 we are now bombing the enemy at @ heavier rate in discharge of tons of bombs than he at any monthly period has bombed us," the prime minister said.
 Adding his warning to Germany that this was only the beginning, Churchill continued:
 "The courage of Londoners under an unexampled strain has not only enabled us to come through what many might have thought deadly peril but has impressed itself upon every country and gained us scores of friends in the United States.
 T do not hesitate to say that the enormous advances of the United States toward making its conribu- ion to British resistance thoroughly effective has been largely tnfiu- enced by the conduct of Londoners and the men and women of our provincial cities in standing up to the enemy's bombardment."
 Churchill warned that renewed German attack on Britain must be expected before long.

 "You have just come out of one long hard battle and may at any moment enter another" he said. "For the moment there may be a

 Rome, July 14-(UP)- Giovanni AnsaIdo. writing in the leghorn newspaper Telegrafo which Is oWn- ed by the family of Foreign Minis ter Count Galeazzo Ciano warned Italians today against being oyer- confident of a speedy Axis victory over Russia.
 "Eyen the Germans admit Rus sian resistance has been fierce and tenacious" Ansaldo wrote. "The de- lenders of the stalin line give in only because of German technical superiority. Even SO. the German divisions have to work hard for their gains"
 Many people expected to see the Bolshevik regime collapse after 6 few days Of fighting and they gre now becoming disconcerted over the Russian military efficiency" he said.

Two Suicides, Say NazlS
 Berlin, July l4-(UP)- Author ized German spokesmen described the Anglo Russian defense agree ment today as "a pact between two suicides"
 As far as Germany is concerned. the spokesman said, there is no question of a compromise peace with the Soviet Union because i've are determined to fight until we complete destruction of the Soviet system"
 The spokesmen said the pact gave Great Britain the same "blank check as was obtained from her other former allies to make free use of Soviet territory as she used the other allies territories"
 "As far as the rest of the agree ment Is concerned" the spokesmen continued, i've wish to make 1t quite clear that we hope Britain will deliver to the Soviet Union as much war material as possible and that it will come as soon as pos- sible into the front line where 1t will fall into our hands"

 Churchill said that though some of Hitler's forces might now be away attacking "the lives and rights of another vast branch of the hu- man family" Hitler still had very large forces close at hand"
 If he has not come recently to London t is certainly not because he likes us better" Churchill said.

Prehistoric Indian Race
Is Found in Louisiana

NEW ORLEANS.-Traces OF a
prehistoric race Of Indians, the old
est yet found in the Mississippi val
ley, have been uncovered on the
banks of Lake Pontchartrain by
Prof. J. A. Ford, of Louisiana State
university, and a WPA survey.
The new culture has been named
the Tchefuncta horizon. This cul-
ture, Professor Ford said, antedates
the Marksville culture which pre-
viously was the oldest civilization
established in the Mississippi valley
about 1900 years old
In ancient times American In
dams living along the Gulf coast
apparently subsisted upon shell fish
and small mammals, birds and
fish, Professor Ford said. Our OBJ
servations indicate that they
camped on beaches near their prin-
cipal food supply. Gradually the
mussel shells and refuse from their
camps accumulated into big dump
heap. From this we obtained frag-
ments OF pottery and implements
which they used"
Professor Ford said the Tchefunc-
ia culture seemed closely related
to cultures found in Alabama, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Georgia, and
apparently was distantly related to
cultures in the northeastern United
States.

$4,000 Killed in
Accidents in 1899
Auto Toll Is Is Over 1888;
Home Mishaps Second.

CHICAGO. - Although accidents
killed $4,000 persons in the United
States in 1889 and injured $500, 900,
these figures represent a decrease
OF 300 in the number Of fatalities,
or per cent reduction from the
1898 toll, the National Safety coun-
Gil reports.
The cost OF all accidents last year,
the council estimated, was So, 300,-
DOC, 600, of which approximately half
was attributed to motor vehicle mis-
haps. These accounted for $500
deaths, Ii more than in 1898, and
caused approximately l,l50.000 nom
fatal injuries.
Ranking second were accidents in
the home. They killed $4,000 per-
sons in 1899, per cent more than
in 1888, injured 100000 and cost
an estimated $500, 600, 900. Falls
were blamed for II 900 Of the home
deaths.
Occupational deaths decreased 3
per cent to $1,000 and the miscel-
laneOuS accident toll decreased D
per cent to $4,000.
The council said that although
traffic deaths were virtually the
same as in 1888, travel increased 6
per cent last year and 4 per cent
more vehicles were on the road.
Consequently, it concluded that the
death rate, based on motor vehicle
mileage, dropped more than per
cent to an a1l-time low of 1872 deaths
per 10000 miles.
Fatal falls in homes, in public
places and at work increased ! per
cent to 27,000, deaths from burns
increased 8 per cent to 5000. and
drownings decreased II per cent to
$500.
The estimated economic loss from
all accidents included wages lost,
medical expenses, the overhead
costs Of insurance and property
damage in motor vehicle accidents
and fires.

There are many different kinds of.

most commonly in gardens. This is
Mentha spicata and is native to
Europe but now widely scattered in
this country. 1t spreads from sto-

weed. Moist soil is best, although

which do not dry out too badly. The
aromatic oil from glands on the
plant is used to flavor chewing gum.

leaves are used to flavor foods. The

The peppermint, Mentha piperita,

than spearmint. In some parts Of

Oddest House
Being
Used Again
Novelty Herb Can
Endure Heat
OF Indoors

An odd house plant is much in
favor at the present time, and is
receiving quite a bit of publicity.
But it isn't a new plant. No. Like
many of our present-day fashions in
other fields, the enthusiasm for this
curious plant is only the revival OF
plant discovered long ago.
Its botanical name is tolmiea men
ziesi. 1t has different common names
in various sections. being known IN
the Eastern United States as
Mother of Millions" and in other
sections variously as "Youth-on-
Age" "Piggy-back Plant" "Picka-
back Plant" and other common
names.
The plant, native of the West
Coast of North America, was first
collected on Banks Island, of the
coast of British Columbia by DR..
Archibald Menzies, and derives its
specie name from this great botanist.
The plant thrives over a great part
of the Pacific Coast, and is found
in the shady woods from Northern
California to Southern Alaska.
Tolmiea menzieSi is a perennial
herb of the saxifrage family. The
flower is not attractive, but the foil
age is quite appealing.
But the most interesting thing
about the plant is its method OF
New plants develop
at the point where the leaf blade
joins the leaf stem. However, young
plants will not form roots unless
the leaf on which they are present
is detached and placed in soil or
sand to root.
This novelty makes successful
house plant because it is capable OF
enduring the dry-air conditions of
living rooms, and the dust and other
air impurities found in homes.
The plants chief requirements are
that it be we'll watered and kept out
of strong sunlight.
Also, like all other plants grown
in pots. it must secure its nourish-
ment from a small amount of soil.
In order to supply this need, use a
wen-balanced plant food, either in
powder form or in tablet form. For
a 4-inch pot apply onethird tea
spoonful of a complete balanced
plant food, worked lightly into the
top soil. and Watered in well. If
using tablets, apply one tablet per
4-inch pot, sinking in the soil at
the edge of the pot, and watering
the plant well. Repeat application
of plant food every four to six weeks.
