Notable Improvements
At Todd's Steak House

TOdd'S Steak House was closed
for several hours Wednesday
morning for the convenience of
those installing the new cafe bar
and accompanying fixtures. The
new Improvement, though rcplac-
ing one that had an attractive
appeal. is on a par with anything
of the latest modern trend. AL.
though the seating capacity is
practically the same as former.
ly. dimensions have been shifted
as to provide area convenience
for patrons. For instance. the
tables of the five new booths.
though reduced in length. arc
increased in width. The gain. OBJ.
viOuSly. enables a more convent
cnt placing of food before the
diner
Another gain in the dimension
shift is in providing u wider aisle
between the bar stools and the
booths. In other words a couple
may walk two.abrcaSt in attain.
ing a place for seating.
Twelve bar stools and the seat.
ing provided by the booths on.
ables capacity for 30 patrons.
This. with accommodations pro.
vided by the annex. as a rule
reserved for private and public
dinners. enables all that could
be desired for a heavy mealtimc
business operation. The back bar
is enhanced by two large mir.
rOrS. Below are two commodiOuS
compartments. one being for re-.
frigeratiOn of fruit and vegetable
juices and other food beverages
The other compartment is for
storage of packagcd food as to
be within easy access of waitress.

AS time passed. through the
efforts of scientific investigators
at research institutions and of

happy result that orchid culture

We now know that the re-

spectacular species are no more
exacting than are those Of roses
In recent years a marked inter-
est has been shown in orchids
as a hobby.
1t is a mistake to believe that
all orchids look alike. Their
foliage varies considerably; the
flower shapes range from simple
to exotically beautiful, and some
times fantastic. But whether you
prefer the exotic or the simple

mulched and through feeding a
reasonable rate of growth be
attained.
Don't Smother Your Tree
Protecting established trees is
also necessary if they are to keep
healthy and vigorous. Changing
the soil cover over the roots
changes the air supply to the
root system and adversely affects
the health and vigor of the tree.
Very few trees can survive the
addition of more than inches
of soil over the root area unless
artificial aeration is provided.
Reducing the soil cover Is usual
ly not as serious, although 1t will
adversely affect the wel1-being Of
the tree for some time. This may
be compensated to some extent
through mulching. feeding and
watering.
The changing of the soil usual
ly changes the flow of moisture
and obviously this will upset the
balance of moisture and plant

In such a situation the tree or

with crowbar so that there will
be subsurface drainage. If this
seems impossible then we should
put in a drain that will carry
away excess moisture-lay a
string of tile from the planting
site to some outlet.
The tile should be placed just
below the level of the planting
hole and slope gently away to
the outlet.
This Cure Avoids Humus
DR.. May offered one "out' that
will appeal to some. He said
that if suitable drain could
not be provided, the only safe
thing to do was to fill the hole
with the same soil that was taken
out. Do not add humus, sand,
or any other material that would
tighten the soil. or improve the
moisture holding capacity OF
the soil. or facilitate the pene-
tration of water. Most garden
ers, however, realize the i'm
portance of humus in the soil
and will want to improve the
soil so that the tree will thrive
and grow rapidly and hence will
seek ways to insure good SUBJ
surface drainage.
In some of the tight clays that
are more suitable for the manu-
facture of tile than for garden
ing, there is little that can be
done to improve subsurface
