Freak Mishap
BY Alice colmer

Freak Mishap
Harold and Ethel Monroe left
their car in a New Orleans park
ing lot last week and found the
rear wind o W completely shat
tered on their return. The park
ing lot attendant had rolled the
windows up tightly as a precau-
tion against rain and such a pres
sure resulted that it shattered the
back glass. A local garage man
said he had heard of only two
other such mishaps.
Green Predominates
Speaking of cars. we were dis
cussing the predominance of
green in various hues as the pop
ular color for cars. Someone sug-
gested red as being more popular
but a check of traffic on the
highway between Pascagoula and
Moss Point gave green cars a
three to one popularity. For those
making motor trip it would
make d nice variation of "car
poker" to count the number of
green cars in comparison to any
other color or against a total.
Free Enterprise
A child's table on the lawn of
a home near the intersection of
Main and Morris is sign that
three young playmates are in bus
mess again. All they need as cap
ital is a package of Koolade and
a few jelly glasses. They do a
thriving business but quite fire.
quently the corporation breaks up
over a division of the profits.
They went out of business the
last time over the fair division of
16 cents.
Civic Pride
The Civic League is maybe one
of the oldest organizations in
town and the Community House
and numerous other civic i'm
provements are mute testimony
of how Loyalty the founders
worked. Last week at called
meeting there were seven citizens
who attended and three of them
were officers. The meeting had
been called to plan a membership
drive-a timely need to say the
least. Every citizen in town is
eligible for membership and the
drive starts this week. A drive
slogan might be: Join the Civic
League and do something instead
of talking about what needs to be
done.

Botanic Garden
AzuIeu Show
Still at Peak

The Botanic Gardens annual
azalea show, unrivaled in the
United States, according to au-
thorities, is continuing through
mid-March.
Attendants at the Garden say
that the weather has been such
that tulips. hyacinths and narcis-
sus have popped out of the ground
in numbers and it will be profile
NAUTICAL how long the lily display
can be held back.
On the basis Of present pros
poets the annual Easter Lily Show
of the Boranic Garden will be in
readiness about March "a. The
public has always shown an in
clination to visit the lily show in
advance Of Easter, and this year
there is every prospect that the
show will run from a compare
lively early date through Easter
Day, which is April 8.
'We have no refrigeration equip
ment to hold back bulbs" is the
way one official described the sit
uation. when they are ready
they are ready. The date of
Easter is variable and there is not
much that can be done about
bulbs"

have been left standing in a pile

We finally got the heating de-
vice to turn off when it is sup

are now merrily on their way to
turning into goslings.

right back-that is, if there is
any one left in the country who

Jack Howard, our veterinarian,
came down the other afternoon
for our first tail removal exer-
cises. The five cocker pups and
the lamb had to have their tails
shortened to a more fashionable
length.
They came off with no trouble,
for Jack is a bloodless surgeon.
But then we couldn't find the
pups tails. They turned up the
next day. however, neatly wrapped
in an old newspaper and care
fully tucked away on top of the
piano.

Unfortunately I remained at

It was the day the incubator
came, and I found myself COM
Wandered into service setting 1t
up. I had sworn that I would
have nothing to do with that piece
.of equipment. Butch, well, you
know how that is.
must admit that this machine
inspires awe. It looks not unlike
"a giant refrigerator-the kind
butchers use to hang beeves in
and is about as heavy as the vault
in the local bank. I'm sure it
has more gadgets about it than
the atom bomb!
Really, after it is all set up, it
isn't a bad plaything. II you push
a certain button big paddle
wheel starts turning to keep
warm air circulating about the
eggs. At least that is what the
incubator man said.
It has lots of lights in it. too
These come on at odd times when
certain things are pressed or
turned. And then there are two
boxes on each side that look like
telephones.
One of the telephones started
ringing the other night, and it
took about half an hour to find
out how to turn it off. It seems
that the boxes are wired up SC
the bell will ring when the cleo
tricity goes off. I knew this, but
what didn't know was that the
bells also will ring when the in
cubator gets too hot.
You can turn off the bell if il
rings because of a power failure
but only a draft of cold air will
stop the noise if the machine
gets too hot. That last Is what
confused me, and it took more
charts than an airline pilot uses
to finally trace out the trouble.
This incubator has a habit that
no other machines have. You

ing with a prepared chemical.
However, vermiculite and spagh-
mum mosh may be used in place of
sol. in seed fats since they are
practically free of the damping-
off fungus. The latter two ma
terials are much easier to use and
are very effective media in which
to start seeds.
Do you have trouble in seeing
your tools when left out in the
yard? A suggestion: Paint them
some bright color and you will be
able to find them more easily;
yes, even if they are over in your
neighbours yard.
A mixture of ammonium sui
phate (1a). ground limestone 90
and superphosphate (1s) will aid
in the decomposition of compost
piles and add to the fertility value.
If the compost is to be used
around acid-loving plants, omit
the limestone.
The Mealy bug, which looks like
a stray tuft of cotton, seems to
thrive on contact sprays and is a
common pest of house plants. In
fact, they will be found in numbers
on such choice plants as garde-
MAS, fuchsias, begonias and coleus.
Cold water seems to discourage
them some, but it is just about as
hard on the plants-particularly
on gardenias. If you do not have
too many plants try alcohol-ap-
plying with a toothpick with a
little cotton on the end. Just
touch them. Two or three times
going over should suffice.
The. periods of warm weather
have brought the daffodils along

of them were showing buds on
Washington's birthday. They will
not suffer from cold weather un-
less the blossoms are open. But
that will be a good excuse to cut
and bring them indoors. Other

their flowers. w. H. Y.
