No matter how hard I tried,
it always added up to the same
sad story. Yellow, wilted, de-
jected-lo looking leaves of my
potted plants looked at me
forlornly and helplessly from
their perches on window sills,
bookshelves, tables and cabi-
nets.
It was no go. I just didn't
have what it took to grow
plants indoors.
Window sills of friends and
neighbors displaying disgust

didn't help matters any. I

sunlight. It can be used as
either a trailer or a climber.
2. Pothos Cor variegated
philodendron). Even more
hardy, if possible, than the
above, in our opinion. Can
be used in same way as plain
philodendron.
3. Swiss cheese plant (also
philodendron family member
that grows massive leaves and
looks as if some one had taken
the family scissors to cut Sits
in it,. Usually it's grown
against a piece of bark for
support-and is a handsome,
decorative plant if used in the
right place.
4. Hastatum. It has long,
dark green, arrow = shaped
leaves and is just about as
spectacular as the aforemen-
toned and as easy to care for
-once-weekly watering suffices
for us.
7 S. Corn plant. Dracaena is
the formal name) This plant
looks truly like the corn plants
we see in farmers fields, minus
the corn itself, of course. This
too, at our home, thrives well
if watered only once weekly.
6. Dieffenbachia. This green
plant is attractively speckled
with white, though it requires
a bit more frequent watering
than any plant previously
mentioned.
Z. Araucaria. This resembles
a miniature pine tree and is
also referred to as a Norfolk
Island pine. Stands up we'll
under both indirect light or
full sun and needs only once
a-week watering.
8. Chinese evergreen. Won
derful to grow in water or soil.
One of the most hardy Of all.

9. Arrowhead vine. Grows
we'll in water or soil also, and
will either serve you as a
climber or a trailer.
10. Sansevieria. This is the
strongest plant of all, for our
money. The florist we bought
it from said: Its almost i'm
possible to kill it," I'm sure
he's right. It dislikes too much
water, so watering can be
quite infrequent.
We could mention many
other plants that have served
us well-but the ones above
have been the "never-fails" at
our home.

are the needs of each plant

You, Too, Can Have Green Thumb With House Plants

how big and strong and pretty
I am"
This thing got my dander
up. I was determined to have
nice house plants or bust. No
home is a home at all with
out plants-just as any dog
lover will tell you no home is
a home without a Fido or
Rover bossing everything
around.
In wintertime, when trees
and shrubbery are bare, it's
nice to look inside and glance
at green's. 1t reminds you that
spring is still probably just
somewhere around the corner.
In sum mer especially,
there's something about lots
or green plants to make a
house or apartment seem
cooler espite sWeltering
weather abounding outside.
Besides all that, caring for
house plants is a really pleas
ant creative outlet, particu-
larly for those who live in
apartments. or for home
dwellers who have either no
yard at all or an inadequately
small one in which to dig
and get pleasure from watch
ing things grow.
I got fed up with my fail
ures. Why did others have
attractive dish gardens, beau
tiful trailing ivy, African
violets and sweet-smelling
gardenias when mine always
languished?
After repeated misfortunes,
I went to the nearest florist
shop.
What is the trouble? I love
greens-but green's apparently
don't love me-" told the man
in charge.
His advice was this-try the
hardest "never-fail' plants in
the beginning. Don't bother
until later about anything
fancy.
It worked. He gave me a
list of house plants to accumu-
late gradually, told me how to
care for them-and (sort of a
before-and-after story I can
now boast that I have over 20
happy, healthy house plants.
None of the plants I will
list here are fancy" They're
just plain durable-at least
they've proved so for me. None
of them flowers but all are
pleasant and interesting.
So-for those who don't
think they have a green thumb
take heart. These plants
don't require much attention
which is an asset in the eyes
of those who frequently have
to be away from home for a
week or two, Or for busy
persons who think they just
can't be bothered with daily
watering.
Based on trial and error,
here is my list of houseplantS
that don't need pampering.

A goou place to spend a sum-
mer vacation is in a cool bank
vault, two Washington boys have
discovered.
They spent the better part of
a week in bank vaults in Stanley
and Woodstock, Va, last year,
after convincing bank officials
they just wanted to look over
the money. The bankers oblig-
ingly let the boys have some of
the cash.
Valentine Mate1is, IA, and his
brother Joe, II. who live at 1915
Legation street NV, don't think
they did anything unusual. They
are a couple of avid coin COL
lectors and where will you find
more coins than in a bank?
!. About Christmas, 1852. the
brothers found they had more
money than they knew what to
do with, all of it saved from
their earnings as Evening Star
carrier boys.
Write to President of Star.
They wrote to S. H. Kauff-
mann, president of The Star,
and asked if they could invest
their savings in the newspaper.
Mr.. Kaufman had to reply that
no Star stock is for sale.
The boys father. v. L. G..
Matelis, suggested that his sons
try coin-collecting. He had en-
joyed it as a child.
Since then, the two boys have
pieced together a collection
worth close to $1,000-somewhat
more, they say proudly, than
they actually spent on it.
The trick of coin collecting.
they explain. is to get together
an unbroken series of a given
type of coin. They collect only
American coins. If you're build
ing a series or ordinary" Lin
coin pennies, you may buy some
dates for a cent or two, but a
1914 number, from the Denver
mint, in mint condition is worth
$47.50 or so if the owner knows
what he's got, they explained.
The boys sent their mother
to nearby banks to bring home
bags full of pennies. Then they'd
sift through them looking for
rare dates.
Whole Family Collects.
They talked about it so much
that today every member of the
family has a collection.
Mr.. Matelis collects Indian
head pennies. He denies that the
hobby has any connection with
his job. He works for the Treas
ury Department.
Mrs. Matelis collects silver
dollars and has a $40 gold piece
worth more than $50.
Even little brother. Paul. 6, is
collecting Indianheads.
Although the Matelis boys
collect only American coins, they

French, Far East Sources Say

of pilots. Estimates are that for
each 10 or II planes there are
only about eight pilots.
An analysis of news dispatches,
some of which may have been
censored, hints that the French
have encountered some difficulty
in dropping supplies into the
besieged Diem Bien Phu fortress.
perhaps because the planes are
flying too high. at attitudes up
to 10000 feet. American prac-
tice is to make supply drops
by parachute from attitudes well
under 1000 feet. Considerable
material urgently needed by the
defenders presumably is falling
into enemy hands.
However, French authorities
here insisted today that the air
drops. on the whole, have been
accurate, and that the loss of
men and supplies has been rela-
lively low considering the haz-
ardouS nature of the enterprise.
Loss of IL Per Cent.
They said rs to 100 men a day
are parachuting into Diem Bien
Phu-and that this rate is suf-
ficient to offset battle casualties
and keep the strength of the
defenders at about 10000 troops.
These French sources said 88
per cent of the material dropped
has reached the hands of the
French and native forces-a loss
of IL per cent. They said only
one stick" or group of men fell
beyond the bounds of the fort
ress but they eventually got in
all right.
