st. Louis Dog
Never Missed
A Day at School
By Peter Booos

The fact schools have started
again brings to my mind the
true story about Duke, a Belgian
shepherd which lives in. st. Louis,
Mo. This dog really likes school.
For the past two years he
hasn't missed a days attendance
at the grade school attended also
by his 11-year-old master. Dur
ing the summer months he regu-
larly goes to Sunday school at
a nearby church. The dog has
a mania for aSsociating with
people. At any meeting or gath
ering in the neighborhood Duke
is almost certain to put in an
appearance. Motion picture
houses are constantly turning
him away from their doors.
Duke has an uncanny sense of
what day of the week it is. Dur
ing the winter on school days the
dog always arises early and is
all set to leave for school, but
when Saturday comes he in
variably sleeps another hour or
SO regardless of what routine his
owners follow on that morning.
Two or three times this past
winter his young master couldn't
attend Sunday school. This fact
in no way kept Duke from keep
ing his attendance record per-
feet there. Somehow he knew
it was Sunday and when the
time came. he trotted off to the
nearby church by himself.
Question: This past month my
dog has been bothered by flies.
Is there something I can do to
keep them awy from him?-
V. A. j.
Answer: In like cases I have
found by rubbing a little oil Nof
citronella on dogs ears once
each day that flies stay away
from him. Try it, it has always
worked for me.

Must Use Care Selecting Protective Plants

ingly. has few insect or disease
troubles.
The upright growing forms of
the yews (taXus) are much de-
sired, but because of their slow
growth they are costly to buy
and take too long to produce re-
suits. This also applies to some
extent to the hollies-American,
English and japanese.
Shrubs Have Value.
Shrubs have a certain value
as windbreak, but for the most
part are too low growing to
achieve the desired results alone
and should be mixed with trees.
The lilacs, viburnums, deutzia,
althea lroSe of Sharon, and
other upright growing shrubs
may be used effectively and do
not require great deal of prun-
ing. When planted with taller
growing trees they will not tolr
crate shade too successfully and
will tend to die out as the trees
gain in height and spread, but
they will have, to a considerable
extent, served their purpose by
that time.
Of the columnar trees men
toned above, the following are
most readily obtainable:
Varieties of the Virginia red
cedar, Lawson false cypress COL
umnar arborvitae, yew and the
hollies. The others are usually
obtained from specialists. 1t is
also possible that some nursery
has a columnar from a species
that is not generally known and
reported. One further word. No
mentioned has been made of
trees and shrubs for the larger
area because where space is
ample habit of growth is not
problem, and nearly all kinds
can be arranged to shield the
home and garden from chilling
blasts.

months. Compost made in the
fall requires longer time. The
nature of the materials used also
affects the time of decomposi-
ton; soft green plant material
decomposes more quickly than
dried leaves.
Home composing is an eff
cient and practical way of utiliz-
ing garden refuse-burning is
waSteful of good materials.

sprinkled and a complete ferti-
liZer such as 4-12-4 or 5-10-5.
About 100 pounds of fertilizer
and Is to so pounds of lime are
sufficient for a pile of 125 cubic
feet. The fertilizer provides nj
trogen, which is needed by the
bacteria of decomposition. This
nitrogen later becomes available
to the plants. Phosphorus and
potassium also are changed in
such a way as to become more
readily available to plants.
Lime in Small Amounts.
Lime prevents the decaying
material from becoming too acid
and provides more favorable con-
ditions for bacterial action. The
amount of lime used is not
enough to produce an alkaline
reaction and so the compost may
be used for plants that need an
acid soil.
AS more material becomes
available, more layers with lime
and fertilizer are put on, until
the pile is 4 to feet high. 1t is
important that the material be
moist enough to encourage de-
composition.
AS the pile is built, each layer
should be watered; and the en-
tire pile should be watered in
dry weather The completed
pile should have a depression on
top, to catch the rain. Some
gardeners put a sprinkling of
manure or garden soil over each
leyer to add more bacteria.
Turn Compost Pile.
After two to three months it is
desirable to turn over the COM
post pile. This will help to
aerate it and to mix the mate
rials at the outside of the pile
with those on the inside. Large
piles built up all at once may
heat rather quickly inside. This
high temperature is often Suff1-
cient to kill many desease and
insect pests.
During the Sumer usable COM
post can be made in four to five

MuIuthon Tested

A malathon 4 per cent dust
gave excellent control of rose
chafer on climbing roses and
walnut trees in a test at the
Virginia Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
The same treatment also elm
mated a heavy blister beetle in
festation on young mimosa trees.
Rose chafers and blister bee
ties disappeared soon after dust

ever, on examining the ground
under the plants many dead in

DOCuHtC N1uI uCVs
Organic matter is an essential
component of good soil. 1t is
not a permanent part of the
soil and so must be renewed
continually.
In the garden this organic
matter may be supplied as ma
nure or as compost. Animal
manures are not easily obtained
and are expensive, especially in
or near large cities, and so most
gardeners must use other types
of organic matter.
Peat is one of the we'll known
types, easily handled and read
lily obtained. Local products
useful for gardens are some
times available, such as humus.
shredded redwood bark, shaw
ings, buckwheat hulls, ground
corn cobs, and shredded sugar
cane.
They are not all of equal
value, and some of them are
better adapted for mulching
purposes than for immediate
incorporation into the soil.
Composing Is Easy.
The efficient gardener can pro-
duce much of the organic matter
his soil needs by composing
plant refuSe-making artificial or
synthetic manure. 1t is not diff
f1cult. A compost pile does not
take up much space and may be
hidden from view.
Leaves provide the major gar
den waste material useful for
composing, but other materials
may also be used, such as straw,
hay, shavings, lawn clippings and
non greasy kitchen waste.
Usually, a compost pile is built
up gradually as materials be-
come available. The first step is
to make a layer of the plant
refuse about 6 to II inches thick.
Diseased or inSect-infested ma
terial must not be used but should
be burnedD On top of this a
light layer of lime should be

Most of the improvements
which are enjoyed by us in oul
homes today may have been de-
signed or invented by men, but
only as a direct result of a desire
to please the womenfolkS.
Windows for years have been
made and hung in the same old
fashioned manner, with the only
appreciable changes in picture
windows and in easement win
dows. But now, in an attempt to
meet the challenge advanced by
the housewife. one company has
designed a new type of window.
It can best be described as an
awning type window, since the
height of the average sized win
dow is divided into 3 sections
which open outward and upward
so that in open position the win
dow resembles wood-framed glass
awnings.
These awning windows open to
almost a 90-degree angle, thus
enabling one to enjoy loads Of
ventilation in inclement weather
as well as during ideal weather
The housewife can clean the

Screens and storm sash are
placed on the inside. Either may
be fastened with clips and no
tools are required.

Opening and closing of the
window is controlled by a rotary
type operator that is so easy to
operate that even a youngster
can use it. The f1nger-tip-con-
trolled operator interferes in no
way with either draperies or We
netian blinds. In opening the
window, the bottom section opens
first and the top section last.
Even with the bottom section
opened, the top sashes are Sc
curely closed, and each section,
once closed, locks automatically.
The seal effected in closing
the window is, according to the
manufacturer, unaffected by di-

Cinemascope Brings Loss

The film makers reported a
