Blue Spireo, Blue SoIvio

The blue spirea (Caryopteris
incana) and the blue SALIVA
(Salvia farinacea) are two de
pendable blue flowers for the
perennial border. Flowering in
the fall they make bright spots
in the garden. The blue spirea
often freezes back in the winter
but this is desirable because too
often we fail to prune this more
or less shrubby herbaceous plant.
The growth on an unpruned
plant is too open and sparse to
be attractive.

Tie Up Climbing Roses

The long branches Of climbing
roses should be securely tied to
prevent their waving about in
winter winds. If the climbers
were not pruned this summer
they should have a few of the
oldest canes removed before at

into place. Use strong cord or

The tall perennial asters are

we appreciate their vigor and

the period of bloom will soon be
over and it does not take long

FouIty Base Causes Chimney SWoy
BY Douglas Tuomey .

Chimneys which start to lean
away from the house well are
by no means q rare complaint.
Strange as 1t may seem, the
owner rarely notices what is hap
pening until a leak starts and
wallpaper becomes discolored.
An inspection usually discloses
the fact that the joint between
house wall and chimney has
opened up. This condition is
usually caused by an inadequate
footing or foundation beneath
J the chimney or that it was laid
lover soft and unstable ground.
TO prevent further widening Of
THE gap the following is recon-
Einended.
The width and depth Of the
chimney should be measured and
the owner should have a black
smith or iron-worker make two
wrought-iron bands. One of
these should be installed about
4 or 5 feet from the ground
and the other halfway up on the
chimney.
The ends of the bands should
be drilled to take l1a-inch leg
screws, 4 inches long. and these
should be screwed right through
the wall of the house into the
! frame or the rough sheathing.
Tt is usually not necessary to
| strip the exterior finish of the
house where you are going to set
| the leg-screWs. because it does
not take very much holding to
prevent the chimney from lean
ing further away.
/ After the bands are in place
Evening star., 1954-11-20

If the re-enforcing bands are
painted to match the house and
chimney colors they viii not be
unsightly.
The open joint between wall
and chimney should be packed
with caulking compound and
then painted.

similar or worse conditions are
found. One cabinet member is re-
ported as having no help at all in
his home. as his wife insists on
doing her own homework with the
assistance of her daughters. No
wonder she was late at recent
official reception given for a very
prominent person.
Some expressed surprise at see
ing cabinet members wife doing
her Christmas shopping recently
at bargain counter--and the
counter was at Lansburgh's, mind
you. not Garfinkle's. But the econ
omy-minded lady didn't stop
there, she grabbed a cab and took
spin out to Sears Roebuck, then
squawked about cab-fare.
She had chosen Saturday cher
husbands day Off to do the shop
ping. thinking she might have use
of the official car and government
paid chauffeur. To her surprise,
the husband had TO do an extra
Saturday job tsomething like
radio performance and had to
use the car. Because of this she is
said to have remarked that some
arrangement just had to be made

a chauffeur. She just couldn't af-

outgoing department secretary is
said 10 have told the incoming
secretary that this person was
very good worker. "She knows
how to do anything and doesn't
mind doing IL. but she doesn't take
any foolishness--you just don't
cross her"
The new family TO Washington
was so glad TO get such an excel
lent maid that they accepted her
upon this recommendation. But
apparently they decided TO try her
out to see IL she would take any
toolishness. They crossed her so
fast that she walked out within
two weeks.
There Were several reasons.
First. they expected her to do
two persons work. Next. they in
sisted that she work on Sunday.
although IL was understood from
the very beginning that she was
not expected TO work on Sundays,
unless on some special occasion.
and there there would be extra
pay. But the last straw was when
they started messing with her
money At the end OF the first
week there was nothing said
about pay in spite OF the fact she
had been told that she would re-
eeive her wages At the end Of
each week. The second week was
about TO pass and still nothing
said about pay. When she remind
