GARDENIA PLANT.

For Mrs. J. P. B., Rockville, Md,
re garden culture: Your gardenia
plant is probably gardenia florida,
the one that blooms in spring and
summer. 1t requires, first of all
certain temperatures and acid soil
The soil at present in the pot will
suffice as is for awhile. but you will
have to add the necessary acidifying
food as time goes on to keep it well
Nitrogen in the form of ammonia
such as tankage, dried blood or
sulfate of ammonia and a heaping
teaspoon of iron sulfate to bushel
of repotting soil, if and when you
have to repot, will be about right.
This potting soil should be about
in the proportions of two parts good
garden soil, part fine peat, p part
old or dried COW manure, 2 part
sharp river sand and about cup
bonemeal From this YOU can see

BRINGING UP FAMILY.


Usually I don't feel compelled
to add anything to inquiries in the
RICH, because sooner or later some
one has the same ideas I have and
presents them, but for some time
I've looked for different type of
answer to help mothers Of small
children. 1 have four youngsters
of preschool age and do all my
own work and have plenty of out
side activities. The important
thing to me seems to be to have
an orderly, well-kept home, and
have good time with your family.
The secret is planning for chill
dren. Unlike others, We don't be-
lieve in fenced-in yards, but con-
slider a playroom essential. The
children are not compelled to stay
there. but the toys are, and naturally
on rainy days they want to be
where the toys are. The ya.d is
fully equipped with play materials.
This is the plan that works for us:
An early morning start is important
Daddy always gets breakfast.
Washing and ironing is done daily
and it is the first item in the
morning. The washer is an in
valuable help as is the electric
ironer. Unlike many, we enjoy the
"ironed" clothes and when done
daily it is not too much of a chore.
The house gets thorough cleaning
each day, bathrooms, kitchen floors
are washed every other day, IRON
ing is done while the children nap.
also all preparations for dinner are
made before lunch or during nap
time and the time spent with the
children after they get up from
their maps. Each week two extra"
items have to be accomplished, one
being special cleaning job, such
as waxing the floors, washing the
windows, painting, etc, and one item
for the enjoyment of the children
1t might be visit to the ZOO, or
just a bus ride or company for
dinner, etc. While the children are
small, We go out great deal after
they 60 to sleep, father and mother
going out alternate nights once
or twice and one night 60 out to-
gether, a regular night. arranged
with a baby sitter. also one after
noon 4 month out to give the chill
dren more experience of away from
mother" Later when the children
are in school and need parents at
home in the evening. I plan more
daytime activities. Il also enjoy
the telephone and the back-fence
conversations and it does not seem
TO 20 to extremes, but keeps us in
friendly touch with neighbors and
friendso
The child study group of which I
am q member consists of mothers
who have one or two children. 1t
would be fun to have a group Of
mothers. exchanging ideas on how
to enjoy a large family"

gardenias are heavy feeders and re-
quire acid soil.
If your plant acts badly, yellowing
OF leaves, dropping buds, ETC., in
the meantime, offer it y teaspoon
of the sulfate of iron, plus y tea
spoon 4-12-4 or 5-l0-5 fertilizer,
not together, but a few days apart.
Sprinkle on soil and wash in.
Now as to daily care: From the
woody type of plant you could guess
that its normal season for blooming
is spring and summer and that it
needs period of dormancy in the
winter. This you can give by keep
ing it in winter in a temperature
not over As degrees or SO degrees
Do not keep very moist in this rest
ing period. Start watering and
feeding as the buds show early in
spring. But you can't neglect it
just because it is resting, and it
should be syringed off at least once
day all year round. Use florists

supply houses very inexpensively
Set pot in tub or sink.
The commonest pest is mealy bug,
looking like white bits of cotton on
the plant. Wash off with strong
stream of water or with paint brush
dipped in soapy water with nicotine
sulphate to the proportions of l tea
spoon to the gallon.
All in all, the gardenia is lovely
but tricky house plant. If you have
been given florists form, gardenia

ing conditions, such as greenhouse
and year-round moisture, instead of
winter resting period. Otherwise,

DETROIT, Jan. % IN The
frozen body of William George
Burns, 33-year-old father of three
children, was found this morning
in the back seat OF an automo-
BILE parked in a downtown lot.
The body was naked to the waist.
Police inspector Charles Searles
said a post mortem examination
OF the body would be made as
soon as possible and that until
then he did not care to speculate
on the cause Of death.
The body was identified by Os-
cas- A. Riopelle, Detroit attorney
and father-in-laW of the victim.
He said Burns, a craftsman, left
his work with a Dearborn archi-
tectural f rm last Saturday with
out explanation and has been miss
ing since.
Riopelle said Burns and his wife,
Avis, came here from Fremont,
Mich. about six weeks ago.
Neither Mrs. Burns nor Rlopelle
were able to. offer any reason for
his disappearance.
Burns shirt, uiIdershirt and tie
were missing when his body was
found. His suit and overcoat lay

ROTARY MEETING
MAY GO TO BEACH
Wrightsville Chamber To
Extend Invitation To
Wilmington Club

The Wrightsville Beach Cham
Der of Commerce last night autho-
rized Walter j. Cartier, to extend
to the Wilmington Rotary club an
invitation to use Wrightsville's
facilities for a convention of the
newly-formed Eastern District of
Rotary. The district embraces
Whiteville, Laurinburg, Fayette-
vile, Goldsboro, Holly Ridge, and
Tabor City.
The decision came after a debate
as to whether Wrightsville could
accommodate the number of people
who will be expected to attend such
convention. Cartier said it would
involve over 200 delegates and their
wives. The conference is scheduled
for the middle of May. Exact dates
have not been announced, but the
Chamber of Commerce 'feels GER
tain guests can be Accommodated
at that time"
Coming at this time the conven-
ton would also make appropriate
the opening of the beach season,
Cartier said. This would mean that
Wrightsville would open about two
weeks ahead of the usual date
which is June first. .t
A meeting of the Wilmington
Rotary group headed by Charl IS
M. Harrington, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, is expected
to be held soon at which time an
invitation to the district Rotarians
is expected to be voted.
Other matters taken up at last
nights meeting included some
phases of the advertising program
for the year. Pictorial folder drafts
are complete and printer is be-
ing consulted, Secretary Cartier
said. New letterheads are being
printed and other minute details
for the opening of the season are
being studied.
A motion favoring the re-estab-
lishment of the information booth
was voted and it will occupy its
old place on the beach. Cartier
said the Chamber plans to secure
the services of a full time clerk
who will be able to furnish informa-
ton to visitors during the summer
months.
Members last night also went on
record as favoring the removal
of local rent controls at an early
date.
