Plants
Require Air

MUCH OF the trouble that
people have with house plants
may be due TO one simple fact
that the air around them is
just too dry This is par
tIcularly true at this time of
year. when not only do the
plants have the heat in the
house TO contend with. but also
the heat Of the sun.
II is simple to remedy too
dry air Flat ornamental bowls
of water should be placed on
top of radiators IN the room
with the plants or set on the
shelves between the plants.
Add TO this a spraying of the
plant foliage several times a
week and Sponglng OF the
leaves that are large enough TO
be so handled-and the plants
will respond rapidly.
If il is impoSsih lie to spray
the plants in their usual places.
take few each day into the
kitchen and place them in the
sink for their bath Do not
spray leaves Of rex begomaS or
any other plants that have
hairy leaves.

CannpanuIa
Varieties

IF THE only campanulas you
know are the tall and stately
biennial Canterbury bells, you
have met one of the loVeliest
members Of the group, but
there are many more whose ac-
quaintance you might like 10
make.
Perhaps the most uSable Of
these. in both color and size. is
Campanula garganica which
forms a mound perhaps s to 10
inches high and is covered with
vivid violet flowers. Here is a
gem of a perennial for use in
edging a path or border. The
leaves are light grey-green,
lovely in form. and even when
not in bloom the plant is at
tTactiVe.

Pace Off
FOOfdqe

DACING off distances IN the
L garden is a most convenient
method OF measurement. But
in order TO use it, the size Of
the individual pace or stride
must be known. 1t is Just as
well to determine this indoors
and now is as good a time as
any to obtain this knowledge.
Stand with the heel Of one
foot right against some straight
edge such as a wall or the edge
Of a rug or a doorstep. Take a
normal step forward - don't
stretch it and then another
and keep stepping until you
have taken ten PAGES. Then
mark the spot where the heel
of the forward foot touches the
ground.
Now measure from the start
ing mark 10 the finish and di-
vide the number of feet by ten
This will give YOU your normal
stride Measuring in this man
ner is far superior TO just meas
uring a single step because
many people cover more ground
with one foot than they do with
the other.
How TO use this measure
ment, Suppose YOU wish 10
plant potatoes IN 4 space 20 by
so feet Perhaps your garden
plan calls for this allowance.
il is quite a Job TO measure
with a yardStiCk and not every
home owns a surveyors tape.
But your own stride is always
with you and very simple 10

ALL SERVING
COUNTRY TO
Be HONORED
Glasgow Legion Plans Service
Board with Names
in City

An honor board on which will be
placed names of men and women in
service in World War 2 was planned
at a meeting of the Glasgow Amer
lean Legion post in the Legion room
at the civic center Friday night.
The location of the board in
Glasgow is to be decided later, with
preliminary work in charge of E.
j. Heller and G.. M. Lindberg of the
Legion. They asked today that
names of all in service in an area
east as far as the county line, west
to Vandalia and north to a line
running through Baylor be mailed
to the Legion.
The full name, branch of service
and home address of the service
man or woman is required, they
said. Names are needed at once so
that the size and other features of
the board can be determined just as
soon as possible.
All such service names should be
mailed to box 975, Glasgow in an
envelope marked Honor Roll
Names"
Especially wanted are names that
will not appear on any other board
in the area given.
Names should be of those who
were in service Dec. z, 194l, who have
been in service since that date or
who enter the armed forces
at any future time while the war
is still in progress.

TydingS amendment.
The registrantS will be called to
appear before the board by order
