The habit was so fixed that he

If your furnace acts balky, CIV
ing you more smoke than heat, the
thing to do, of course, is have
it inspected by a reliable heating
man SO as to ascertain and correct
the trouble. But don't be sur
prised if he tells you that there is
nothing wrong with your furnace.
The chances might well be that in
stead of cussing the furnace, your
wrath should be directed against
the chimney
Chimneys are all too frequently
taken for granted as being merely
the outlet for the furnace smoke,
with no further connection with the
furnace. Actually, the chimney is
an integral part of your heating
system, the same as the exhaust IS
a vital part of your auto engine.
The chimney is not only the ex-
haust flue Of your furnace, but it
also is tied in to the combustion
circuit by being the valve that
permits new air to be drawn
into the furnace so that the coal
will burn. If the valve closes be-
cause Of becoming clogged up with
SCOT or masonry debris, then it
shuts off the fresh air that is es-
sential to combustion. A poor fire
of low heat and lots of smoke is
the result, with the gas backfiring,
and everything acting wrong
Cleaning out a chimney, and re-
pairing it if necessary, is not an
easy job, and certainly not one for
an amateur. 1t is part of the pro-
fessional cleaning service which
some heating companies are set up
to give, and the job should be
turned over to such an expert. Nc
matter how new or how fine your
furnace, it is worthless to you ]
the chimney interferes with !

The lily. the tulip and the daffo-
dill are among the important f1ow-
ers which have bulbs, They bios
som early in the spring.
The crocus is another flower
which gets off to quick start each
year. Very shortly after the snow
is off the ground, it appears. The
crocus has a swollen root known
properly as CORN" People, how
ever, commonly speak of the CORN
as a bulb, and it serves much the
same purposes.
Besides its other values, the bulb
helps plant to live through times
of drought A bulb will stay alive
under the ground through long
stretches of dry weather.
Bulb plants have two ways oi
adding to the number of their race
They can produce seeds, and in the
course OF time baby bulbs tend tt
grow out from the main bulbs.
Tulips may be taken as an ex-
ample. When people dig up tulip
bulbs, they sometimes tbut by M
means always) find extra bulbs
Such bulbs can be used to product
larger crop of tulips the next year
If tulip flowers are not cut from
the plants, they will produce seeds

Let's Gel nd Right.

TRIESTE, seaport city In the
Italian province of Giulia. There is
no sanction for the commonly heard
tree -ESS-tuh." The English and
French pronunciation of Trieste and
the German pronunciation of the
form spelled Triest, is tree-EST.
The Italian pronunciation, most Gus
tomary in Europe, is tree-ESS-
tay.
GEORGES BIDAULT, French
Foreign Minister. The French name
Georges is not pronounced like
Georges" 1t begins and ends with
the sound of "zh." The ault of
such names as Bidault and Renault
does not rhyme with fault" 1t
should rhyme with do, hoe" Say

From A. de B. comes letter. writ

plores me to make one more attempt
to teach Americans that the cele-
brated name Gle nom celebre") de
Gaulle is not pronounced, dee
I GAWL."
First of all, let me emphasize that
the French proposition de mean
ing from; of the lamily or tribe of" !"
is never pronounced "dee" or day
Its approximate sound is duh y
similar to the word dub" without
the ''b." The final IS" of Charles is
silent and the "a" is fiat as in car
rot" Gaulle rhymes with dole,
hole"
Nothing about the name Charles
de Gaulle is difficult. And surely
| it is name of sufficient Importance
to justify an accurate pronunciation
But we Americans are funny race
even yet, many of us haven't
learned how to pronounce Roosevelt
correctly, and what we do to foreign
place names in the news is almost
beyond belief.
So, suppose, expecting the cor
rect pronunciation of Charles de
Gaulle is being rather starry-eyed.
But at least it's worth one more try.

We must hare q

Most garden flowers grow from
seeds or from cuttings, but some
spring up from bulbs.
The bulb of a plant is a store
house for food. In it is the germ of
new life, very much the same as in
a seed.
Certain leaves grow underground
at the lower end of the plant stem
and at length bulb Is produced
The bulb may be dug up and plant
ed where person wants flower
to bloom. The planting usually
takes place in the fall. and early
next spring plant appears above
the ground
The plant comes to flower ano
then. in sense, it dies. The parts
which are above ground vanish
from sight. Yet the bulb is left be-
low the surface of the soil. and an
other Towering plant may be ex.
pected next year at the same spot.
A bulb plant is an example oi
a perennial" Year after year Il
comes to blossom. OF course the
bulb will not last forever. but 1t may
produce flowers for several years.
