GET GOOD ROOTS

In buying plants. make sure the
roots are clean, profusely branched
and free from knots or swellingS.
This is a protection against future
garden troubles.
There are two kinds of injurious
garden insects. Caterpillars, beetles,
graSshoppers and grubs feed by Bit
ing off, chewing and swallowing
parts of the plant.
Plant lice, thripS, leathoppers,
and plant bugs don't bite, but have
Q tubular beak. through which they
suck up the juices from within the
plant. Stomach poisons put on the
plant surface do not affect the
sucking insects. which must be con-
trolled by insecticides that kill by
contact.
Effective for use in small gardens
are small compresSed-air sprayers
carried by a strap over the shoulder.
One of these often will serve for
group Of gardeners In the same
neighborhood. Poisons also may be
applied In powder form to q num-
Der of garden crops by means Of a
small hand duster or even burlap
or cheese cloth bag, by means Of
which the poison can be busted on
the plants when they are moist with
dew.
Garden products such as snap
beans should not be sprayed or
busted with poisons after the edible
parts have formed.

This Is because there Is threat
of seed and plants from planting
time to maturity from a great var
iety of ailments and destructive
pests.
AS prevention Is always better
than cure, before planting your Vic
tory Garden you should be sure that
seed and plants are disease resist
ant varieties adapted to your To-
cality. 1t has been found that a
number Of plant diseases are car
ried In or on the seed but cannot
be controlled by seed treatment
and this underscores the importance
of getting seed from the most re-
liable possible sources.

NEIGHBORS DON'T MIND NOW
It may be that the neighbors
have just come to the conclusion
that one family has as much right
to raise chickens as another has
to have children or a dog. (All
are sometimes a nuisance to the
neighbors) 1t may be that their
questions are just an effort to show
tolerant interest in Mrs. Jones

Or it may be that with the fear
of want staring them in the face
the neighbors are thinking less and
less of their noses and more and
more of their stomachs.
1t wouldn't surprise Mrs. Jones
at all if the whole neighborhood

SLEEP SHOULD MEAN REST
Sleep without rest Is as mean
ingless as bomb that once released
refuses to explode. Rest frequently
must be learned and cultivated, and
springs from spirit relieved of ner-
vous strains. Without going into
the physiology Of sleep, rarely COM
plicated by such phenomena as dis
turbed acid-base balance, a disorder
of the internal secretions, or made
quacies Of liver or kidney, one can
say withou hesitation that court
ing real rest is for many people a
problem in psychology and common
sense.
Fear Is without question the prim-
airy cause of most sleeplessness.
Sometimes, as among people in great
and constant PHYSICAL danger, like
the marines at Guadalcanal, the
cause of the fear is obvious and COM
pletely understandable.
On the home front, where the &C
tual dangers filter into most con-
sciousnesses by way of the imagin-
alton, the causes of fear are often
disguised and hard to trace-though
none the less real. The black things
of thoughts that fly mercilessly
through a night when sleep has been
disrupted Is familiar to nearly every
one.
Though the following morning
brings sanity, it also brings great
WEAKNESS, and the feeling of mot

Forty Yank Flyers Said Thanks, Gretchen,
After Bailing Out Safely From Planes
BY NEA Service

Orlando, Fla.-American flyers,
forced to bail out Of pursuit ship
or a bomber, are deeply grateful
when they gather up the folds Of
their billowing 'chutes and read the
tag: Packed by Gretchen r. Strem-
mel"
Mrs. Stremmel is credited by the
Army with inventing a quick, new
closing device in packing parachutes,
that simplifies packing and ultim-
ately results in greater safety to the
user. For this, she has received the
Air Service Command Award of Me-
rit, the first given to civilian en-
ploye In the southeastern states.
Mrs. Stremmel, however, seems
proudest of 78-page illustrated
booklet that she has written, en-
titled: What to Do Before and
After Pulling the Ripcord." This
free book, recently published by a
reproduction plant at the Army Air
Forces School Of Applied Tactics
at Orlando, Fla, and in demand at
all Army and Navy centers, Is an
amusing, but very instructive primer
that sums up the knowledge gained
by Mrs. Stremmel from the 1873 pa
rachusete drops that she has made
and from the experiences of Army
flyers forced to jump from their
ships.
In May, 1912, 34-year odd Crotch
en- Stremmel came out OF retirement
to take charge of teaching parachute
packing at Orlando Air Base. To
this job. she brought with her ex-
perience gained by parachute jump
ing in every important air show In
the country, including the National
Air Races at Cleveland, from 1928
until 1898, when she was grounded
by an injury.
This stocky, curly-haired brunei,
whose face lights up when para
chutes are the topic Of conversation,
began her "parachuting" to obtain !
money to become a glider flyer. She
is the possessor Of coveted"C" rat
ing license for glider pilots, ACHE nd
by very few women. Although she
received her first glider pilots Ii
cense in 1881, when the sport was
still in its infancy, she continued
her parachute jumping.
When she was presented with the
Award Of Merit, Mrs. Stremmel
blushed and gave credit to her CO.
