Raise Ironing
Board for Rest

BY raising the level of your IRON
ing board-most women waste en-
ergy by bending-you can lick fa-
tigue and quickly Whittle away that
pile of clothes you have to press or
launder.
Adjust your board to the height
that's comfortable to work at in an
upright posture. STOPPING, launching
or reaching out of bounds cause the
spinal kinks that wear you out.
Keeping laundry aids within easy
arms reach-ironing stand, damp

will help to minimize strains that
cause fatigue
Break up long ironing stint by
switching to some ether chore that

while another set works-a balanc-

Continued from Page u

ernorS. Groups of women of the
same state or local community may
enlist together for initial service at
a particular Army hospital. Thus,
as members of WAC hospital units,
they may be with their friends and
preserve their local interests while
working together in the common
effort of healing our fighting men.
WAC hospital units will, so far
as practicable, be assigned for serv-
ice in Army general hospitals with
in their own states. In many cases,
members of WAC hospital units
may have the opportunity Of caring
for sick and wounded soldiers from
their own communities.
WAC hospital units may be
formed at first in their local COM
munities as platoons. They will re-
ceive their basic military training
of 6 weeks duration at a WAC
Training Center and 6 weeks of
special training at a Medical De-

these units will be sent to the hos
pitfalls for which they were recruit
ed and consolidated into hospital
companies of one hundred women

be given a course of practical train
ing of approximately one month.

Walter H. Scott, manager of the
Huron Valley Fruit Farm, gave a
most interesting talk on apple Or
chards yesterday before the Wy
andotte Lions Club. A veteran OF
World War I, Mr.. Scott opened the
first modern drugstore in Lincoln
Park. He subsequently went into
fruit growing on account of his
health, which had suffered from his
war experiences.
Mr.. Scott stressed the Importance
of a working knowledge of botany,
chemistry and bacteriology in SCI
entific fruit growing. Operations
such as pruning, girdling and bridg-
ing were described. The trend in
pruning is toward short and broad
trees. Girdling prevents mice from
eating roots during. the winter
months, and bridging repairs dam
aged roots. Modern spraying prac-
tice was illustrated by the following
practical list of don'ts:
Don't spray after a rain. Spray
before, and spray between showers
during extended rainy periods;
Don't spray at temperatures be-
low 40 degrees and above 80 de-
greeS. Don't use cold water in hot
weather. Don't use nicotine on cold
days.
Don't use lime on melons, cucum-
hers, squash, etc. 1t has a deny
drafting action. Don't use lime with
Cryolite. rotenone or Black Leaf
l55. Black Leaf l55 is effective for
eight days as compared with two
hours for Black Leaf 40, and costs
only half as much.
Don't use arsenates on peaches.
Use three per cent basic lead.
Don't use arsenicals on beans.
Use rotenone, or better, sulfur.
Don't attempt to mix sulfur with
oils and don't employ oil sprays
when buds are out Use wettable
sulfur for spraying at full bloom.
Don't use leftover sprays. Throw
them out.
Don't whitewash trunks of trees.
No advantage other than improve
ment in appearance is now realized.
Mr.. Scott recommended a new
book pest Control in the Home
Garden" by Louis Pyenson. This
book contains a wealth of useful
information and may be obtained
at the price of two dollars from
The American Fruit Grower, 1870
Ontario street, Cleveland, Ohio.

Book
Lovers

There are. it seems, two tragic
facts in human existence. We do
not appreciate what we have untB
we lose it, and We only ADVANCE
through SUFFERING"
So writes Betsey Barton in hes
book, And Now to Live Again.
which has to 90 with the problems
of the disabled in finding normal
creative existence. She writes from
her own experience. When she was
sixteen she was paralyzed as the
result of an automobile accident
She went through a long period OF
utter encouragement and fear at
the thought OF meeting the outside
world again. Then. ever so gradut
ally, her courage came back. 3
Miss Baron refers to her own story
only as an object lesson for others
faced with a similar situation. She
knows well the deep agony that
results from physical disabilities.
One story she tells is Of an Ameri-
can major, hero who lost q leg
in the South Pacific, and who eX-
perienced his first moment Of abject
misery when, on his arrival at San
Francisco, he imagined some boys
were laughing at his initial attempts
to walk.
She also knows of the ecStatic
Joy that comes from overcoming
handicaps. An old man, who had
lost both lgs when he jumped under
a train TO commit suicide. was being
taught to walk again on artifici$,
limbs. On the day he succeeded H.
mounting the model of the bus STEPS
in the exercise room, he called
triumphantly for someone TO look al
him, shouting. I'm on top Of the
world"
