Mr.. Costianes, who operated the
Trio Restaurant, 1887 Seventeenth

tured skull. The fracture was
fatal, the coroner's Office said.
In 1947, Mr.. Costianes reported
10 police that his new automobile

Brazilian embassy, who had been
told to ship a car like Mr.. Co.'S
tianes' to Brazil, had mistaken the
restaurant owners car for the
one to be sent. The clerk drove
the wrong car to New York, put
1t aboard boat and 1t was well

PLANT sos.

from Mrs. o. r.. Washington
For Mrs. ]. A. c.: Take plants
out from shaving mugs and place
them in any plain earthenware
flower pot without glaze, giving
them q good humus mixture mixed
with q handful Of sand and for
goodness sake never. never again
put any plants in any glazed pot
or mug because they viii die Of
oxygen starvation. Roots are liv-
ing tissue and need oxygen to
breath. glaze is alright, clay Is
porous. ! hope your plants are
not far gone and you may be able
to save them. In case not, at
least you have learned Q valuable
lesson how not to torture plants
to death by suffocation.
But 1t isn't your fault. the florist
should have told you. but guess
he didn't do 1t deliberately, Just q
case Of ignorance is not bliss"

PHILODENDRON.

(From J. M. ~. ArlingtonJ
Plant 8. o. g., To Mrs. j. A. c..
Washington: I have grown philo-
dendron successfully for years.
I have some In water on my man
tel. some In pots by O window.
The leaves are three inches long
and the ones In soil grow one
yard every six months. They are
absolutely beautiful. They do not
like to be disturbed. Keep them
in the same place. They do not
like draft. They grow faster in
sunlight and like plenty Of water.
I water mine every day, twice in
the winter because the hot air
keeps the air so dry. once q week
give them a vitamin pill. the name
starts with a p and ends with an
8. No other kind will do. If
grown in water. keep a vase filled
to the top at all times. just add
water. Also wash the leaves oc-
casionally to keep them free OF
dust. Good luck.

I get a lot Of those poems from
the old McGuffeys Readers. This
poem was in the third reader. I
studied them when I was in school
and now ! have all from the
primer to the sixth. The nth
and sixth have been revised, but
has nearly all the old poems that
I studied in school. The one I
like so well is Forty Years Old. 1t
seems 50 real. ordered these
readers just to have them as I
originally had only the second.
Hope this is the right poem.
Would like to have j. e. H., ST.,
write to me through RICH.
