New Plants

A S THE new plants grow,
Npinch off any buds that
form, and shape up the
plants by pinching back any
fast growth. In this way a
nice, bushy plant is formed
and looks better in bloom.
With a little planning and
a little time spent on them
it is easy to have geraniums
for both winter and summer
blooming. And plan to have
at least one of the scented
leaf variety for foliage and
its gentle perfume.
Detroit evening times., 1945-03-25
A Rest Period

GERANIUMS cannot bloom
~ all summer in the gar
den and then be expected TO
decorate the house with
flowers all winter. They
grow tired and need a rest.
The plants also begin to
branch out and lose their
shape. That is the time 10
take cuttings for new plants,
TO encourage winter bloom
and to strengthen and re-
shape the Older plants. Set
the old plants away in a cool
light place and water them
once a week while they are
resting. About the middle
of winter bring them out TO
the sun, and apply water
and fertilizer so that the
blooms will form.

Gardening
BY ELEANOR MERRITT

By ELEANOR MERRITT
THERE is nothing that will
brighten up a room and
give it that gay and friend
ly look like geraniumS In
full bloom. Select the colors
red, pink or white-which
go best with your rooms
color scheme. Give the
plants a place where they
have full sun, but the room
temperature stays around
65 degrees F.
To produce good bloom,
geraniums like certain little
attentions. Be sure the con-
tainer or pot they are
planted in gives the roots
plenty of room. They do not
enjoy being root-bound. A
mellow, loamy soil mot
sandy enriched with a lit
tie bone meal is best for
them. When they are bloom
ing a little liquid manure
every other week tends TO
keep the plants healthy. OF
course the flower pot should
be well-drained.

Tnke Cuttings

IT is easy to slip or take
cuttings. Select firm new
growth, cut il sharply a lit
tie on the slant Just below a
node Ga little bump on the
stem). Each slip should be
about three inches long and
contain three nodes. Handle
gently so as not to bruise.
Cut off flower buds and
also any large leaves on the
cuttings.
Have thre e-inch pots
ready, filled with prepared
dirt and a small ball of
clean sand in the center. In
this sand place the cutting.

ment as they need it and
they will not have 20 be
moved so soon.
Another easy and quicker
way to start cuttings is to
take a bulb pan about nine
inches across, and place in
its center a corked three
inch unglazed flower pot
Fill this pot with water, and
fill the pan around it with
clean sand. Insert the cut
tingS i'm this sand. While
they are forming roots the
necessary moisture will be
supplied in the sand, from
the seepage through the
walls of the center pot. BE
sure to keep water in this
pot. Set the bulb pan in a
good light, but out of the
direct sunlight, until the
cuttings are rooted and
ready to repot.

JUDGE MOYLAN SHOULD
 RESIGN
(Hartford Times

Mayor Moylan may not be aware
 or if he is aware may not be con- cerned about it-that there is wide
 spread dissatisfaction because he
 continues to hold the office of
 judge of the Police Court as well as the Mayoralty.
 The feeling is general that the Mayor who is head of the Police Commission as well as chief execu- tive, should separate himself as to
 the earliest moment from the Police Court. While he may not be sitting on the bench, he is still on the payroll, which is not so pleasant to citizens, who object to such things.
 AS for the reasons for the Mayor continuing on the bench as well as
 in the Mayoralty, they appear to be political. They are said to be in the interest of appointment by the Governor of certain prosecutor to succeed him, and the appointment of certain lawyer to succeed the
 prosecutor should the Governor follow the routine being prepared for him.
 All this is too practical indeed,
 especially as it has it's roots in ra- cial claims for political pap. The Mayor should send his resignation as Police Court judge to the Governor, immediately.

CHRISTMAS TRADE
New Haven Journal-Co,1rier)

(NeW Haven Journal-C -Courier)
 From coast to coast, the volume of Christmas shopping is smashing all records, according to Trends of Press Association, Inc. For all prac- tical purposes, the gross take is linl- tied only by shortages of merchant disc and the capacity of store staffs to handle customers. The public's cagerness to buy was dramatically illustrated on December II when R. II. Macy & Co.,. New York, rang up $1,121, 62l in sales in a single days business That constituted an all-time record even for Macy s which almost exactly a year earlier mad experienced its first million collar sales day in history, with a volume of $1,003,088. Incidentally, the weather on the day of the 1944 record was fair, while the new rec crd was rung up despite rain.
 Many stores, not possessing the gift merchandise their customers really want to buy, are energetical- " promoting the sale of gift cer- tificates. entitling the holder to make purchases later, when there may be more quality and more variety on the shelves and counters. Much merchandise which will not be available before Christmas is eX- pected to reach the stores in the early weeks of January.

 It may be that Will, though of sharp, satirica mind and broad travel, really meant what he said If he must have had of sanness extravagan

 Certainly few, if any, of those who admire and repeat Ehe Rogers confession honestly claim that they to never met they didn't like So the remark must en- hure not compliment to mankind but as an example of indiscrmnate but ideal frendness which consid cred worth emuating.
 What brought all this to mind was the succession f shocking events that eliminated happily in the execu

Will Rogers had lived to learn about Kramer and Yamashita and the thousands who did their bidding and the hgherups who them their orders condoned their deeds he probably would have withdrawn his famous remark.

Views of the Press
STARLIGHT
(The New York Timesl

Winter starlight has the deep fire glow of eternity, the intending gleam of wonder. To stand on a De- cember hilltop under clear night sky is to stand in the midst of in- finity. There are no limits to either time or distance, except as man himself may make them. One has but to touch the wind to know these things: for the wind itself is full of starlight, even as the frosted earth underfoot, starlight and end- less time and exalting wonder
 The eye is caught by the red-gold gleam of the star they call Arcturus, and wonder grows. Even as the an- cientS, you strain for a closer look through this ,peep-hole, this spark burn on the blanket of night, hoping for the slightest glimpse into the dazzling brilliance of Beyond. You turn to the star called Betelgeuse, even redder than ArcturpS, and you accept the factual truths of the as tronomers and yet wonder if they constitute the whole, the ultimate truth. Time, and distance, and won- der; and you stand on hilltop in the midst of infinity.
 Star after star-the night is filled with starlight, and the Milky Way is whole sky drift of mingled star dust. It is as though the star-stud- ded wind were forever blowing a course across the deepest darkness, forever and changing only with the repeated seasons. Tonight it is thus, and tomorrow it will be changed, but only in relationship to you and your sense of time, and the next day an- other notch of change. Yet another December and it will be the same again, as it has been before and still before.
 You wonder and watch the win ter stars, and there is starlight in your very puffs of life-breath. And your shoulders lift toward the stars for you too are a part of this eternity.
