They’re a glorious new cool blue for spring and sum mer — a blue that makes your rooms look and feel as fresh and soothing as a sea breeze. Larkspur blue goes magnificently with the blue tones of draperies that are so smart this year—and we were impressed by the fact these window shades are made of cloth woven on a loom and then processed for long life! Wo both know how important blue In home decorations will be tlfis spring, summer and fall! And It would bo not only smart of us. but extremely chic, if wo ensembled windows and woodwork with the shades. You have no idea what a grand feeling of spaciousness you get when your shades blend with the rest of your decorations. For those of you who arc the slightest bit doubtful about colored shades facing the street we’d sug gest that you order this new shade with the blue facing inside and white facing the street, thereby achieving a uniform appearance. Hints to Gardeners by Harold Coulter C Vegetable Expert Ferry Seed Institute I Soil Study Important A few minutes' consideration of the condition and make-up of the soil In your garden just before planting can make a marked differ ence in your success as a gardener. Clayey soils require the most careful handling but are heavily productive. Sandy soils are “early” and sandy loams are just about ideal for most home garden crops. In some southern states two crops may be grown, one in fall and one in spring. * Peas, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, oauliflower, beets, carrots, radish and onion prefer plenty of moisture and moderately cool temperatures during development. These should be planted about as early in the Fall as weather permits in order that they may make their early growth before cooler weather sets in. > These plantings will yield an abundance of produce for use dur ing winter months. Some of these vegetables may be planted again in early spring for green spring vege tables. * The following vegetables are not as hardy as those listed above and are better grown as spring crops: Sweet corn, beans, tomato, pepper, egg plant, cucumber, melons, squash and pumpkin. They prefer abund ant sunshine, and while they pros per best when ample moisture is available they are able to do well during comparatively dry weather. They do best on loamy soils, but carefully prepared clay soils pro duce splendid crops. Herbs do well in comparatively poor soil and maintain growth under rather drouthy conditions. Under the same conditions, radish, turnip, parsnip, salsify and other root vegetables may be expected to perform fairly well. If you must do some of your gardening in ground that is semi shaded, try growing beans, radishes pr peas. ■ ® New HTiracles Oi The Photoelectric Cell By James D. Purdy Director, Schools cf Electrical Engineering, International Correspondence Schools AN electric eye standing guard * * against smugglers is one of the unUsual features of the new Free Port on Staten Island, New York. A 1000-watt light casts its beam across 2700 feet of water to a photo -1 electric cell at the opposite side of ■ the entrance to the port. A launch or , other vessel crossing the beam and shutting off the light from the cell, rets off a siren and causes the ring ing of a bell to warn the custom guards on duty. I The photoelectric cell has been called into play to prevent lightning I from interrupting the broadcasting of radio programs. If lightning strikes the antenna tower the flash is caught by a photoelectric cell trained on a discharge gap at the base of the tower. The cell sets up an impulse which through a compli cated mechanism shuts off the trans mitter’s power for a split second, preventing the station’s power from being drained off into the earth, as would otherwise occur. The interrup tion is so brief that it is imper ceptible to the radio audience. # A new type metal-working lathe has been developed abroad, which is controlled by a photoelectric cell and is said to be capable of pro ducing objects as shown by a draw ing, without the inter vention of the human hand. After the machine has been adjusted, the cell scans the drawing and automatically produces the object in the indicated shape and dimensions. Tiie star ar.<! a photoelectric cell are utili ’ to regulate with abso lute accuvmy a new electronic clock installed lor the Pope in Castle Gondoifo. Wb- n a certain star comes into the focus of the cell placed at the bore o- an astronomical tele scope, the 1,/ht of the star causes the cell to set up an impulse which com is any ‘light inaccuracy in the clock’s timing. Hints to Gardeners by Harold Coulter Vegetable. Expert Ferry Seed Institute S’ Miscellaneous Hinls FLOWERS: When irrigating, Jay the hose on the ground and soak the soil between the rows. Sprink ling requires the use of more water and is less thorough. To get better and larger blossoms, cease watering when buds appear. For a continuation of bloom, pick flowers regularly. This is most im portant with sweet peas ami pans ies. less so with petunias. VEGETABLES: Avoid the com mon mistake of letting vegetables grow too large before picking. Younger vegetables are more tender, more nourishing and more pala table. With a large percentage of the vegetables, get them comparatively early. Root crops radish, carrot, beet—are at their best when hardly half grown. Pick peas Just before pods fill out completely. Pick corn just at the “milk’’ stage, that is. when the ker nel, gouged with the finger nail, yields a milky juice. Use summer squash when ..mall, soon after the bloom has dropped off. Other vegetables, of course, should be allowed to mature more com pletely before using. Tomatoes should he ripened well on the vine, as should winter squash. Canta loupe are at their best when they need not be pulled from the stem, but roll off the vine at a touch. There are exceptions to some of these rules bt course. For instance, some may wish to use green toma toes for special dishes or for can ning, or they may wish to allow 1 beans to grow to the dry bean stage.

When Antelopes Were Useful A study of ancient stone pictures on the Columbia river suggests that the residents tamed antelopes as both beasts of burden and as milch “cows." More Born Than Die Tennyson once wrote a poem la which occurs the lines: “Every mo ment dies a man, every moment one is born.” A literally-minded mathe matician thereupon wrote to the au thor to protest that more are born than die and that the second line should read: “Every moment one and one-sixteenth is born."
