A LIGHT GREEN THUMB
Talk about having or not having
Ia green thumb used to explain
success or failure in growing
plants. But that was before we
had the scientific age.
Today success in this field de-
ponds less on some mysterious
talent than on knowing the right
thing to do at the right time.
If you are growing house
plants. you. of course. under
stand the Importance of having
adequate light. But did you
know that you can supplement
sunlight on dark winter days by
using fuorescent tubes and in
Icandescent bulbs?
In general. it is recommended
that both forms Of light be COM
Ibined. one 25-watt incandescent
light bulb for each 40 watt
Ifluorescent tube used. These are
rugged over the house plants
and are turned on when outside
light fades. Lights should be
used on a regular schedule to
he really effective.
Plants which do we'll under

grow under reduced light in ma
ture. such as African violets,
which may do better under
artificial light than in a sunlit
window.
There actually are som e
plants which have low light re-
'quirements which can be grown

Are Tips
On Moving

Moving from one home to an
other need no longer be a night
. mare of feverish, back breaking
work.
Modern-day movers have de-
veloped a simple list of dos
and "don'ts" for the housewife
to follow which eases the task.
Here are the highlights oil
such a list prepared by a LONG
distance moving firm. Follow the
dos" -and do them-and re-
spect the "don'ts." and your
troubles will be nil on moving
day.
DO THIS:
/. Discuss your move with
your agent. Let him know ex-
actly what service you wish.
2. Remove jewelry, money
and valuable papers from draw
ers. The mover is not respon-
sible for such valuables unless
they are made part of the au-
thorized move.
8. Be at home, or have a fam
lily member present. when the
packing is done.
4. If some items, such as lug
gage, are not to be shipped, make
sure that they are separated
from the rest and tell the van
operator not to move them.
5. Be present. if possible,
when the van is loaded and
again when it is unloaded at
your new home. If you cannot
be there. arrange to have some
one sign the necessary papers
for you.

FEELING "DRIED OUT?"-
If you have noticed edges o.
your house plants browning anc
tiny cracks or pulled-apar1
Joints in wooden furniture. the
chances are that the humidity
in your apartment is too low.
Humidity. especially in apart.
ments. can be just as big a prob
lem in winter as it is in sum.
mer. While too much humidity
in summer makes you feel hot
and sticky, too little humidity ir
winter may dry your skin anc
keep you running to the kitchen
for something to drink.
Ideally. the relative humidity
winter and summer. should bt
between 40 and 60 per cent. with
so as a desirable average. Your
own feeling of comfort or dis
comfort may be a good gauge
of the situation in your apart
ment. But if you like to be ac-
curate about such things, there
are gadgets that will record the
relative humidity.
In an apartment of some
friends. such a gadget registered
a relative humidity of mere 20
per cent, considered too low fol
good health. and incidentally
very hard on leather and wood
furniture.
If your apartment is too dry
there are a few simple things
you can do. Warm air will pick
up moisture from any exposed
water surface. Thus moist
house plants. plants growing ir
water, fish bowls and just plain
trays of water will relieve the
f. problem to some extent.
The nearer the water is to q
heat source and to air cur
rents. the more effectively II
will pick up moisture. A pan Of
water simmering on the stove
may be the answer to that dried
out feeling on extremely cold
dry days.

do you do when you move into
