Slow Growing Vegetables
Need Early Start Indoors

Whether to sow seeds of vegeta-
bles direct in the garden, or set out
plants may puzzle beginning gar
deners.
Most of them decide it by SOW
ing direct varieties which are hardy,
grow rapidly, and mature early,
while they set out plants Of tender
varieties, which mature slowly and
could not be SoWn directly outdoors
until danger Of frost is over.
Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant
are given an early start, under pro-
lection, over most of the country,
so that their harvest may begin
weeks earlier than would be posi-
BILE with seed soWn directly out
doors. Cauliflower, which must ma
ture before hot-weather, is also
started in this way, as well as early
cabbage, broccoli, and frequently
kohlrabi. For late harvests, how
ever, all these are sown in the gar
den.
For most other vegetables, little
is gained by setting out plants, ex-
cept in cases where it might be diff
ficult to start seedlings. This may
be true in localities of heavy soil
and low rainfall, and in all sections
during hot weather.
There are handicaps in trans
planting, which should be consid-
cred. Whenever a plant is moved
from one location to another, il suf-
fers shock, and growth stands still
until it RECEIVERS, and adjusts itself
to the new location. A certain per-
centage of loss may be expected,
and unless transplanting conditions
are favorable, and harding skill
full, the gain in the harvest may be
less than was expected. Many
market gardeners find that late
tomatoes grown from seed soWn in
the garden, and never moved, viii
grow faster and more vigorously
than plants which are started un.
der protection, and set out in the
garden. While the transplants usual
~ bear first, the direct seeded plants
are often not many days behind.
But for early tomatoes, cabbage.

A music guide for all elemen-

issued by the State Department
Of Education. Within the next
week some 5000 elementary
schools in the state will receive
this publication-the first of its
kind has been done for the schools

a representative group Of music
educators and is presented with
the hope that it will meet a de-

Veterans Boost
Clinic Feb. 9TH

The Madison County Veterans
Clinic, Tuesday, February 7 at
the London High School audit
orium, is being boosted in more
ways than one by Veterans County
Service Office in London, and by
the local Veterans Organizations.
Miss Ruth Armstrong, of the
Veterans County Service Office,
is supervising the distribution OF
posters announcing the clinic, it's
time and place. They will be all
over the country" said Miss Arm
strong, so if veterans do not
hear about the clinic, it will not
be our fault
In addition the VA is sending a
letter to many veterans whose
names were secured from partial
list of discharges recorded in the
county court house.
Since the list incomplete and
all the discharges do not always
have current address, Miss
Armstrong has stressed the fact
that all veterans are welcome to
attend the clinic whether Or not
they receive a letter. Since the
clinic is for veterans personal
benefit they should all want to
attend.
The clinic will be conducted by
a group of VA officials, each
specialist in his field. They will
discuss and explain the various
benefits administered by the VA;
covering subjects such as pen
sions, compensation hospitalizatl-
on, medical and dental care, on
the-job and farm training, CT
loans, and government life in
surance.
The program is scheduled to
start promptly at p. m.

To sew buttons on coats, lay a
bobby pin or hair pin across the

pins. They will give room to go

Secrets of Charm

No woman can afford to look
tired often. OF course a Powers
Girl never can! Even the slightest
suggestion of a shadow under her
eyes can ruin the photographers
otherwise perfect picture.
Yet often sleep doesn't come any
easier to a model than it does to
you on those nights when you toss
and turn for hours and even the
wrinkles in the sheet become your
enemy. Why this wakefulnesS
invariably happens just before an
especially important engagement
Is not such a mystery as it may
appear. Generally it's because
you're all keyed up with anticipa-
ton. You need to unwind!
OF all the techniques for relax
ing. the Powers Girls have the best
of which have heard. The next
time you would rather meet the
sand man than Clark Gable, try
it! It's as simple as this:
Lie down fiat on your back in

close to your sides. Do absolutely
nothing more for l minute except
breathe as deeply and evenly as
you can

harmless objects In their pockets

fills his pocket with marbles al
though he knows he cannot play
with them until after school
hours. He takes them along be-
cause he finds comfort In their

press too heavily upon his mind
he finds relief in their assuring
presence. Cropping among them
he sends them in a shower to the

the calf Is most fiattering. For
you. it may be a little higher or
a little lower. If you are tall you
can wear your skirts shorter. but
beware of getting them too short.
Many tall women make this mis-
take and look all legs, which en-
phasizes height and is awkward.
If you are short. a slightly longer
skirt will add to the illusion of
height.
There is always a flattering
length, considering your leg and
your height. There is always
enough margin in style dictated
to make this possible, at least
today there is! Take a good look
in a full length mirror before
shortening or lengthening your
skirt just because you read some
where that a certain length is
stylish.
Too few women have pretty
knees and it is more alluring to
wonder just how leg looks any,
