MARCH II TO APRIL 70
4 RES - Get a brisk early
"A start, and keep up bright
but not-too-strenuous pace all
day, and at close or work hours
you'll be agreeably surprised at
what you've m p ! / S h d,
though it may have seemed i'm
possible at first.
APRIL Fl TO NAY 20
Taurus-Mind that you don't
let the disposition get bit

calmer you remain inwardly and
outwardly, the better all around.
MAY 2f TO JUNE FL
Gemini - Whether others are
canta n kerous, overoptimistic,
glum or indecisive, you carry on
in your usual capable way and
stay ambitious, steady and with
hopeful outlook. Smile your way
through. G.
JUNE es TO JULY 20
Cancer - Excellent time for
getting large projects, organiza-
ton work, training, specialist
activities and government, civic

days good efforts.
JULY 81 TO AUG. 90

ness transactions, dealing in sub
stantial bonds and stocks, war
equipment and manufacturing of

Peach Dessert

beaches and cream--here's
Il a new version that's pretty
enough for company meal and
yet simple enough for every day.
Peach halves are topped with,
whipped cream and coconut.
Some fine cooks use the
crushed kernels of peach stones
TO add extra tang to peach des-
serts. but a few drops of almond
extract will point up the flavor
just as well.
Fill canned peach halves with
mixture OF sweetened whipped
cream and shredded eecenut fla
vored with almond extract.
Sprinkle additional coconut over
top. Pour peach juice around
fruit halves.

Soil Conditions

When, in 1918, Mrs. Burton
first became a gardener, she
owned sandy soil which was
troublesome 10 handle and not
overly productive, so when she
moved 10 her present home in
1929 she went from one extreme
10 The other and used heavy
clay fol filling IN The grounds.
with the net result that every
time she moves a plant she is
still pouring in compost and
sand TO tighten the clay.
But she can't complain of
poor productivity as her plants
are almost without exception re-
markably well grown. Her many
blue ribbons, if nothing else,
prove that without q doubt.
Has she a pet plant? Yes. her
Iris spurea canari is certainly
the pride of her heart and no
story Of her garden would be
complete without a mention of
its exquisite yellow blooms.

Profusion Of Blooms

Some of these vines have had
more than 200 blooms this
season and look like veritable
fountains with flowers on top
for foam. The combination of
Clematis Jackmani, which is
deep lavender with the pink OF
Dorothy Perkins rambler rose
made an enchanting combina-
ton.
Mrs. Burton says any one
with clay soil and the desire TO
grow the large lowered hybrids
may have the same effect.
High spots in the perennial
borders in the supposedly dull
month for perennials. August,
were masses upon masses of
phlox in brilliant hues. Out
standing were B. Compile, an
older variety which is cherry
red: Lillian, fairly new and a
lovely salmon; Apollo. a tall
fine white. and a magnificent
phlox named Mountain Laurel
with clusters which resemble
those of its namesake plant but
are a slightly deeper pink.
In another part of the border
a blue phlox with purple eye
named Progress was combined
with one named Purple Beauty
"a really deep purple-for an
unusual effect.
New Flower
A new purple cone flower
called the King stood tall and
handsome while near il the fall
blooming anemones were just
beginning TO unfold their bios
SONS. Clematis Davidiana, a
shrubby sort. lent masses of
blue flowers to a shady corner
while the hardy verbena and the
dwarf Chinese astilbe gave
sheets OF color low down near
the ground.
Mrs. Burton continually moves
plants, striving for an even more
lovely garden picture. and her
system Of marking them while
in bloom to move when DOR
mant is an idea worth trying.
She uses pieces of cardboard
numbered in succession with
India ink figures which will not
fade when rained on. These she
threads on string and then at
taehes number to a plant 10
be moved. simply tying il on.
Then. in her garden notebook
she writes the number Of the
plant and the location 10 which
she intends 10 move it. Thus she
has the complete story when the
time comes for transplanting.

But the next day, Murphy was
sitting in my chair when I came
to work.
Shove off," I said.
He just sat there with that
same little sneer on his lips he
wore the day he came back with
the names of the students hurt in
the bleacher accident Then he
handed me a big full-page size
dummy sheet. It was the Sunday
radio page-to-be, complete with
programs, highlights, pictures,
and feature stories. It was a
beautiful job.
who did this ?" I asked him.
What's the matter with it ?"
he challenged.
Never mind. Who did it?"
"Aaaaa! Tear it up then {.
but it's better than anybody else
around here can do"
Murphy" I said, get out of
my sight before I clout you one.
Who appointed you radio editor,
anyway? Get out of here now be-
fore you get hurt"
That page looked swell Sunday.
Nobody Taught Him Anything
And then we started catching
him doing other things, little
things, picking up somebody else's
work, half finished, and finishing
it, spotting leaks and potential
troubles and fixing them without
advice or order.
Nobody ever taught him any,
thing. Nobody ever wanted to
and nobody ever dared try. He
learned himself. He watched and
he asked questions and he pestered

I can remember the skinny little

somebody else to sell for him or

He was supposed to deliver the
Journal to the Daily Cardinal Of
flee every afternoon =. and
sometimes he did His main func-
ton. as he saw it, though, was to
sprawl on the editors desk and
tell him how TO get out a better
paper, and. because at times the
urchin would drop hot tip or
two. ne was tolerated in an anus
ed sort Of way.
Morris Rubin, who was working
on the Cardinal then, is generally
credited think with clubbing him
Murphy" just because the name
was so far from fitting. And
Murph, a grade school kid, became
a campus institution.
1 can't remember the first day
he started telling us how to run
things. I had been vaguely con-
scious of some strange being al
ways under foot, but those were
the easy days when all the screw
balls and buns in the country
seemed to hold their conventions
in the State Journal news room
anyway. so one more or less was
no particular additional bother.
But 1 well recall the day he be-
came really important. It was
the day the Central high seniors
were having the class picture TAX
en- and the bleachers on which
they were posing cracked and
tumbled down.
There were several children
badly hurt, but we couldn't get
their names. I remember yanking
out a handful of my own hair and
crying out the eternal question,
Why did I ever get into this
business" when the last reporter
phcned in without them and
then, all of a sudden, there he was,
standing beside my desk with a
scrubby piece of paper in his hand
and a kind of superior sheer on
his lips.
Il got EN-" he said.

Who are you?"

Gimme" I said, land heaven

Want their pictures ?"
YES, yes" 1 said, we'll get
them later. Can't get them made
into engravings today. Too late.
Too late"
III get the engravings," he
said.
You'll WHAT"
You heard me-" he said and
tore out the door.
He was back within 10 minutes
and We ripped up the front page
and ran the engravings, all of
them, a whole armful.
When the presses were rolling,
1 called Murphy over.
Where did you get them" I
asked him.
"Oh, from the printers" he
shrugged" I took them out Of the
forms for the high school annual,
l knew where they We're"
Murphy, Murphy" I shook my
head and made out a slip which
was good for five bucks at the
bookkeeper's cage, explaining that
this was solely reward for initia-
tive and not to be confused with
any countenancing of thievery
whatever.
Fixed Up Sunday Radio Page
Well, we lived to rue that day,
of course, but I guess that's the
way he got here.
He was a bold, brash brat, al
ways making noise and always
sticking his nose into staff con-
ferences, forever leaning over the
shoulder of some reporter at the
typewriter, and spatting, "Phooey!
Such lousy lead"
He'd sit on the city desk and
listen while the city editor gave a
reporter assignments and instruc-
lions.
Nav" he'd interrupt. That's
not the way. Go ask So-and-So
and So-and-So
Why didn't we throw him out :?
Hah: AS though we didn't! We
threw him out a dozen times a
day. We told him we'd poke him
on the nose. We told him, Get
on, get out of here, get back to
Central high. Beat it and don't
come back. And we'd take him
by the scruff of the neck and haul
him downstairs and out the front
door.
But he came back oftener
than we could throw him out
Sometimes, when we couldn't stand
his noise and nosiness any longer
and we'd push back the chair ia
haul him off, he'd already be gone.
But he'd be back before we sat
down again.
He drove us dippy.
Then one day in the early sum-
mer Bill Doudna went on a vaca-
ton and we were looking around
the office for somebody to get out
the Sunday radio section.
Nobody had ever done it
and here was Doudna gone. We
walled and groaned and announc.
