AFRICAN ETS.

trTOW mTS. II. M :, ATIEtgbOn.)
After reading all the detailed de-
scription about the special care re-
quired in raising African violets
that has been printed in RICH, I
would like to tell about the care
give my violets, II 1t would be of
interest or help to any one I for
one would not want them If they
were as hard to raise as many seem
to think.
After my two plants had stopped
blooming. about the first of June, I
put them outside with my other
house plants, where they took the
weather as it came. rain or shine
In July put fresh sol. in the pots,
first cutting off will. the scissors the
lower leaves, where the foliage
was very heavy. and thought it
would give them more breathing
space.
I then took an old two tined steel
fork and loosened the dirt down to
the roots, not disturbing them, held
the plant in place and turned the
pot so the loose dirt fell out. I then
replaced it with the new soil.
took long big -mouthed glass jar,
cut piece of cardboard the size of
the top and with an icepick I made
% holes in it large enough to place
the stem of the % leaves cut from
the two plants.
I filled the jar with water and
| inserted the stems through the
holes in the cardboard The ar
rangement on the round card made
them look like any other violet
plant, as the card was completely
covered with the leaves I put them
on the ground near the northeast
end of the porch, where other house
plants were, then forgot all about
them.
Three weeks later, when I re-
turned from my vacation, I found
that one stem had >rotted, the other
% were we'll rooted. They had
taken the summer storms and the
beating rains and dripping water
from the porch floor, but there
wasn't blemish on them I plant
ed the % rooted leaves in good soil,
such as you would use for any
house plant. I left them in the
same location, where they are still
taking the weather as it comes. A
few of the leaves were damaged, one
washed out of the pot, two broken.
replanted the broken leaf and the
one that washed out of the pot;
they are still living up to the pres
ent time, even the part of leaf
that I stuck back in the pot.
I water them when I think they
need it, and from the top, as I do
my other house plants In the late
summer of last year I put two un-
rooted leaves in with two different
house plants that were brought in
the house for the winter; they root
ed and started to grow: they went
outside in the spring with the other
plants; later transplanted them to
separate pots: they, too, weathered

must have rest period from
blooming. and am glad they take
the summer for their rest period:
then I can have their lovely well
come blossoms in the cold bleak
winters. MY original plants are still
in their resting period, but I know
they will bloom for me this fall and
winter, for which I am grateful.

Impressive Gains By Women
Impressive gains have b e n
made by women under the banner
of the Republican Party. As far
back as 1896 the party platform
carried a plank on the rights of
women" In the 1900 Republican
Party Convention one woman was
slated as a delegate; in 1913, 112
women were delegates and 258
were alternatesi
Along with the increased recog-
milton of women in the party or

Women In
Politics
By NAME MASON HIGGINS

Women hold the decisive power
IN the November election. Nearly
100000 more women than men
will be eligible to vote this year.
The major campaign issues
high cost of living; the protection
of children and family life; civil
rights and world peace-these are
all issues of vital concern to
women everywhere. Now is the
time to secure the effective politi-
cal ACTIN of women to support
the kind Ct government the Repub-
lican Party will bring to America.
Strong leadership is needed in
the days ahead to direct into the
right channels the political activity
of women everywhere. A good Job
of political education is needed
among all classes and groups Of
women.
A careful study Of the record of
the Republican Party and Of its

In 1947 the Women's Interna-

him as "the Governor who has
done most to further the interests
of women in his state"

New York has twice as many
women in government service as
the next highest state. One of

Champion of Equality
When we examine further the
record of Governor Dewey, we find
that just as he took a Fortnight
stand for the interests of women
he courageously led a successful
fight in the New York General As
sembly for the passage of a Fair
Employment Practices Bill.
Thus, he has proven himself an
advocate of equality of oppor-

or national origin or religious
affiliation.

wildly and impressively the kind
of a President he will make. In
highlighting his record as Gov

was the largest reported since the

1920. The proportion Of the States
total coal production coming from
Garrett County has gradually in
creased from less than 20 per cent
in the period before 1916 to an all
time high Of over 10 per cent in 1916.
Carrots growing Importance as q
factor in Maryland's eoal-mining in
dustry has been due chiefly to a
downward trend in Allegany County,
rather than to a sharp expansion in
its own production. The amount Of
coal mined in Allegany County in
1916, for example, was only one
fourth the quantity produced in 1910,
whereas that for Garrett County was
about five per cent greater than in
the earlier year.
Most of the coal mined in Garrett
County has long been obtained from
the Upper Potomac Basin During
1916 it contributed G7S per cent OF
the total production. This compares
with 1911 per cent for the Georges
Creek Basin, ia per cent for the
Castleman Basin, and II per cent for
the Upper Youghiogheny Basin. For
4 number of years the Upper Potomac
Basin furnished around 80 per cent
Of the coal mined i'm Garrett County,
but the opening Of large stripping
operations in the Georges Greek and
Casselman Basins during the last few
years has considerably increased the
relative standing Of these two areas.
No production has been reported from
the Lower Youghiogheny Basin since
the Confluence and Oakland Branch
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
was abandoned in 1912 to make way
tor a new flood control project on the
Youghiogheny River.

but by 1916 it had increased to 279,-
G41 net tons, or nearly 2S per cent of
the entire production. The truck

Of around 100000 net tons annually
during the siX-year period ending in
