double -fiowered forms, however, are
not so dependable. In fact, only a
portion of the seed sown Of the
double -f1owered sorts will produce
double flowers.
While the nasturtium has long
been known to favor poor ground
and to bloom best when unfertilized,
it is not generally considered as a
drought-resistent flower. Under
Washington conditions it seems to
be able to grow and flower in spite
of our periodic droughts.
The nasturtium is warm weather
plant. The seed cannot be sown
out of doors until the soil is warm
early May. The dwarf kinds are
generally grown as edgings and for
mass effects. The tall or vining
kinds may be used on trellises, wires,
or for trailing over a bank. Do not
fertilize them. II the flowers are
kept cut, a long season of bloom may
be had.
Other Annuals
Suggested.
The cape marigold Dimorpho-
theca) is a comparatively hardy
annual that may be sown out of
doors early in the spring where they
are to grow. Because they bloom
while quite small, there is little
point to starting them indoors.
The flowers are quite large and
distinctive-21a inches in diameter,
growing on dwarf plants-l2 to Is
inches in height. Perhaps one rea-
son that the cape marigold is not
more widely grown is that it tends
to bloom itself to death, exhausting
the plant before the summer season
is past. This, however, may be
overcome through second planting.
Thin the plants to from IL to Is
inches apart.
The dwarf morning glory (Con-
volvulus tricolor is an interesting
plant for the hot, dry border. 1t
resembles the true morning glory
in form of flower, but the colors
are in three parts-hence the name,
Convolvulus tricolor. The plants
are not quite dwarf, but will spread
several feet, making this plant an
excellent ground cover for a small
bank. In wet weather or on damp
soil the vines tend to rot.
Sow the seed where they are to
grow, thinning to foot apart. They
are not too hardy and late April
or early May is the recommended
time for sowing. They do not stand

Mr.. Roth, who was dealer, sat

departed from his customary prac-
tice by opening a three bid with a
weak hand. He had a club hand
with shade less than two and one
half tricks.
The bidding went:
West North East South
81 80 Dbl. A
The opening lead was the king Of
clubs. Mr.. Roth then switched to
spades, laying down his singleton.
Dummy won with the ace and the
king of hearts was played, covered
by East with the ace and trumped
by South, who then played the five
of clubs and trumped in dummy.
On the queen Of hearts he discarded
another club, led a third heart and
again trumped. Next he played the
queen of spades which East won
with the king, and led to the ace Of
clubs which won. Another club
forced South trump and he finally
lost a diamond and was set one
trick.
Defeating this contract enabled
Mr.. Roth to capture the individual
masters match.

gogue, and entered into Simon's
house. And simon's wife's mother
was taken with a great fever; and
they besought him for her. 80.

Immediately she arose and min

(P. 210: 11-16). Knowing that
Soul and its attributes were for

Master healed the sick, gave sight

The
What Not Shelf
BY Louise Hoffecker Burslem

This little incident happened in
the Quaker City, but the moral is
applicable anywhere. Persons who
agree with Milton that ''he also
serves who only stands and waits"
should always be pretty sure just
what it is they are waiting for.
Here's why.
A papa, and mamma and their
daughter started off one night to
see film at a downtown cinema.
Now papa, it should be explained,
was an upright man, not only a
piller of the church, but one of its
trustees. He also was a patient
man, for when the family arrived
in the vicinity of the theatre, they
discovered that several hundred
persons were ahead of them, stand
ing in line.
The queue stretched the length
of the block and around the corner
so papa took his place in line.
Mamma and daughter waited with
him for awhile, as he edged closer,
inch by inch. Finally, as the even
ing was chill-the two women de-
cided to wait in the lobby of the
theatre. When they reached the
outside lobby, they noticed that the
ticket booth was under no strain
at all, that the lobby was only
normally crowded with incoming
and outgoing patrons. Upon in
vestigation, they discovered that
next to the theatre was a liquor
store-and the lineup, papa and
ALL was waiting, not to see a film
but to purchase scarce-as-hens s.
teeth holiday spirits!
P. S. Papa got out of line.
This story also has a moral
something like your sins will find
you out, or it's an ill wind ct cetera
One of the local lads in an army
specialized training unit reports
that one night he was studying in
his room while his roommate and
several other soldiers amused
themselves in an adjoining room by
shooting dice. Considerable funds
had been passed back and forth
across the boards, when someone

Vegetables Have Fillability
and Flavor.


Kine-pin of the kitchen, now, is the
vegetable. Today all vegetables are
vital, but the most highly valued
are the bulkier varieties. For these
are fairly staple in the market. They
spell each other off throughout the
wear, so the supply is steady. And,
best of all, they have heft enough to
make the main course of meal.
Take turnips, for instance. Pre-
war use of turnips was merely as a
side dish. Boiled, cubed, and basted
In butter, turnips made a good ac-
compartment to meat. But now we
need to multiply the worth of every
food, so turnips must be converted
to more important cause.
Try boiling turnips whole, hollow
ing the centers, and reflling with a
cheese and cracker combination
unique for its fine flavor. Topped
with white sauce, two or three of
these turnips really make the solid
part of any meal.
Then there are stuffed cabbage
leaves that you will relish for their
hllability and flavor. Each glisten-
ing leaf is plumply stuffed with rice,
seasoned with high-spiced tomato
ketchup. Nutritionally this dish has
merit, too. For when you wrap un-
polished rice in cabbage leaves, you
double the food value Of dish. Try
