Maryland Woman s Hobby
No1u Thriving Lily Business
By Gretchen Smith.

A water lily hobby which started
20 years ago with five or six BIOS
SONS in formal pool has become a
thriving business for Mrs. Octave
Bigoness, who now owns seven
lakes of an acre each, covered with
thousands of the aquatic plants.
The lakes are at her estate, Beau
Dell Water Gardens, In nearby
Maryland.
In addition to the white, yellow
and pink blossoms which repre-
sented Mrs. Bigoness' original out
lay, the lakes now display brilliant
flowers of Chinese red, exotic blues,
purples. rose and apricot.
II have blossoms imported from
every part of the country where
they are grown she said. This
year 1 will have double red Chi
nese lotus. The original roots came
from China
There are also lilies which bloom
at night at Beau-Dell Water Gar
dens.
Until recently, she was assisted
by a helper in work of transplant
ing, which must be done each spring
and fall In order to thin out the
blossoms and keep them healthy,
she explained This year, however,
she must work alone as her assist
ant has been drafted.
II guess I can manage. just
pull on my hip boots and wade into
the lakes" she laughed.
Mrs. Bigoness explained the pro-
cedure of sinking" her lakes as
we'll as planting the lilies.
The lakes are only "a inches
deep" she said, "as lilies grow best
in shallow water. They were dug
in a field through which a stream
passes. BY diverting the stream, I
have plenty of fresh water at all
times. Before turning in the water,
I had the bottom of the lakes COW
cred with fertilizer, then dirt placed
over that. There must be plenty of
fertilizer to get good blooms" she
added.

Federation Head Reports on Tour
Women Urged to Fight
Juvenile Delinquency
By Frances Lide,
wop,en's CIuh Editor

that it sent kilograms to the Pres
ident, the Secretaries of War and
Navy and to members of Congress
urging regulations to curb drinking
among servicemen.
"As for war work." she said, II
.ound war service universal. There
was no need to urge activity as
there was even nine months ago.
Mrs. Whitehurst made point Of
visiting industrial centers to see how
women are taking hold of mechan-
ical Jobs. Often she was escorted by
Army and Navy officials and given
an unusual opportunity to observe
every type of work.
It have yet to hear a complaint
from single foreman" she reported.
And the compliments they paid
women workers were very high"
Visited War Factories.
She also was deeply impressed
with the general picture she saw in
such production fields as airplane
factories, ship yards and ammuni-
ton plants People need not worry
about our preparations for war;" she
remarked.
Mrs. Whitehurst also lauded the
magnificent" work women are doing
through such organizations as the
Red Cross and the American Wom-
ems Voluntary Services.
AS on previous visits, she found
the West Coast ahead of other sec
tions of the country in its response
to war activities.
Their thinking, conversation and
activities are in a different tempo"
she remarked. And I believe the
West Coast is ready to meet any
emergency
The central States also are geared
to the war effort, she said, but she
found general conditions more nor
NAL than on either the East or West
Coasts. For instance, she reported,
they have greater variety of foods.
Had T-Bone for 81.
In one place" she said, Il went
into restaurant and was able to
order T-bone steak, large enough
for four people. which was served
for 81.
There seemed to be no lack of
sugar, butter and cream. And just
few days ago had huge Idaho
potato, packed with butter!
'As matter of fact, I didn't
realize how much things had
changed here until I visited these
States"
So far Mrs. Whitehurst's itin-
erary has carried her to Canada,
and to several Southern States as
we'll as to the West. Her schedule
is not yet completed. She will go to
Minnesota this week for several
DAYS.

The rise in juvenile delinquency
Is todays most distressing problem
before women of the country, ac-
cording to Mrs. John L. Whitehurst
president of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, who has been
visiting federations from coast to
coast since early spring.
Mrs. Whitehurst returned to
Washington last week with an op-
tjnlistic feeling about the war ef-
fort and the performance of women
workers-both in industry and in
volunteer jobs. And she had high
praise for the conduct of men in
uniform wherever she went.
She was appalled, by the juvenile
delinquency situation, however, and
emphasized that it calls for the at
tention Of national leaders.
The problem is so vital that
women brought it up in every city
and State I visited" she said. And
they made urgent appeals for the
federation to direct them in some
sort of program
Curfews Renewed.
In some States, she reported,
curfeW laws are being inaugurated
and recreational programs estab-
lished. But the problem isn't being
solved anywhere" she declared.
Mrs. Whitehurst believes the So
luton must go back to the Amer
lean home. The situation may be
attributed in part to too much
drinking, she said. and to an atti-
tude of lets live today for tomorrow
We may die"
That's unhealthy thinking for
maintenance of home standards" :"
she remarked.
The General Federation president
also feels that a definite effort must
be made to keep the mothers of
teen age children in the homes.
"I believe that every other labor
reserve should be exhausted before
the mothers of teen age children
are called on to take jobs" she
declared.
In all discussions. she attended
she observed that the greatest con-
Germ was expressed for boys and
girls between about II and Is
years of age.
Sees Bright Side.
On the bright side Of her i'm
pressions Mrs. Whitehurst noted
marked change in the attitude of
servicemen in recent months, es-
pecially in respect to drinking.
During my entire trip" she said,
II saw only one soldier who was
intoxicated, and he was with an
MP"
Only last October, she pointed out.
the federation's board Of directors
considered the situation so serious
