Flowers For a Purpose
FLOWERS are a delight anywhere
and at any time The following
suggestions, however, will be help
ful to those persons whose flower
garden space is limited or for those
who wish to grow flowers for a cer
tain reason. These gardeners want
"flowers for a purpose.”
Most of us want flowers to cut.
By planting packets of seed of any
three or four of the following items,
the gardener will have an excellent
garden for cutting: Annuals — An
tirrhinum, Aster. Calendula. Call!-
opsis. Candytuft, Carnation, Bach
elor Button. Cosmos. Dahlia. Annual
Lupin, Marigold. Nasturtium, Sal
piglossis and Zinnia, Perennials —
Columbine. Coreopsis. Delphinium,
Gaillardia Grandiflora. Perennial
Lupin, Pyrethrum (Painted Daisy),
and Shasta Daisy
With a little planning, the gar
dener may have cut flowers early
and late. For early cut flowers grow
Calllopsis. Candytuft, Calendula —
annuals, and Coreopsis. Gaillardia,
Grandiflora and Pyrethrum—peren
nials.
Calliopsis. Cosmos. Gaillardia Pic
ta. Marigold, Nasturtium, Scabiosa
and Zinnia will provide cut flowers
tor midsummer. Several of these,
principally Zinnia, Marigold and
Gaillardia are equally suitable for
late bloom. Other late blooming
flowers for cutting include Antirr
hinum, Aster. Cosmos and Dahlia.
Persons desirous of growing
p'ants with showy foliage, rather
than brilliant bloom, are advised to
try Amaranthus Tricolor, Coleus, I
Centaurea Gymnocarpa, Euphorbia I
Variegata (Snow-on-the-mountaln).
Euphorbia He<rophylla (Annual
Poinsetta), Kochia and Ricinus
(Castor Oil Bean).

What’s New in Radio?

Institute of Radio En«ineere
A CALIFORNIA inventor has in
vented a new radio device to en
able the dispatcher at an airport to
keep track of transport planes in
flight. Signals sent at pre-deter
mined intervals from a radio trans
mitter on the plane are picked up at
the airport where they automati
cally control the movement of a spot
of light across an air line map. The
light accurately records the position
of the plane, showing whether it is
on or off its proper course.
♦** * •
A radio "tap detector" has been
developed to uncover theft from oft
pipe lines by tapping. If there is
reason to suspect that an under
ground section of the line hat- been
tapped, electrical oscillations are set
up throughout the suspected section.
A distinctive humming in the ear
phones of an inspector following tHe
route of the line signals the presence
of the most skillfully buried tap.
* • ♦
Telephone service from plane to
earth has been installed by a west
ern air line to enable passengers to
talk to telephone subscribers in any
part of the United States. The
plane’s phones connect by short
wave radio with the air line station.
From the station the call is relayed
to a nearby telephone exchange
which puts the call through to its
destination. C •

:
RECENTLY these two sentences
appeared as part ot an advertise
ment ot a great American corpora
tion: "Modern executives, careful
to avoid snap-judgment decisions,
know that questions involving im
j portant policies require time for
I careful study ot all the facts in
; volved. ‘l'll get the figures and
। think it over,’ says the wise man
ager."
There are some things to be
learned from a study of thesi sen
tences. First of all, it is not wise
to make snap-judgment decisions in
business. Next, remember that all
business decisions, even yours and
mine, should be based on a founda
tion ot cold figures. Few are the
mistakes made in business by men
who "get the figures and think it
over."
• • •
Some men get the tacts and reach
correct conclusions, but yet fail to
have their views accepted or their
decisions carried out properly. Be I
guided by the thought in this sen
| tence: “At this point Mr. B. realized
' that although he was making good.
I his progress was being tampered
because of a lack of knowledge in
the use of words."
Whether speaking or writing you
should be able to express yonrselt
in clear, concise English. Many
men have most ot the qualities
which make for success, yet are
held back from their final goal be
cause ot a limited vocabulary and
because of inability to make’ their.
: thoughts and decisions clear to
others. *

Conveniences —a telephone
booth Is a desirable feature in a
house today There is apt to be too
much noise in the front of the aver
age home and when this is not the
case and your house is located in
a quiet street, a booth is still a de
cided convenience.
A vault Is another desirable fea
ture to install in your home. Such
a feature can be large enough to ac
commodate silver, pieces ot plate,
jewelry and other valuables.
t•• • *
Clothes chutes are installed in
many homes today By means of
this device clothing may be dropped
from the upper stories directly to
the laundry room in the basement
or cellar It does not cost a great
deal more in your building plans
and the steps saved are consider
able. Naturally, when soiled linens
can be handled in this manner it
makes for a more sanitary house
hold operation. The busy house
wife will appreciate the savings in
time.
• • •
Do not overlook the Importance
of Installing plenty of electric out
lets. These should be provided for
electric irons, egg-beaters, fans,
toasters. heaters, refrigerators,
stoves, vacuum cleaners and numer
ous lights. There should be a good
light at the kitchen sink and in
large homes another over the stove.
Lights should be so arranged that
they will reveal objects in the deep
interiors of closets when the doors
are opened. • *

CHOOSING the site. Before ob
taining the drawings of a house,
many things should be considered
that will have a direct effect upon
the design ot the building. First,
the site should be studied with ref
erence to its surroundings and its
probable future development. Its
convenience to neighboring cities, or
towns should be considered, as well
as means of public transit, service
I in the matters of light, power, gas,
i electricity, sewage, water supply,
garbage disposal, etc. The owner
should be reasonably sure that the
property in the vicinity will develop
»o as to Increase in value and
beauty.
» » »
The parts of which a house con
sists may be considered under three
different groups; living, sleeping
I and service groups.
The living group Includes the liv
ing room, dining room, library, den,
porches, and other parts of the
house that are used tor the com
fort and enjoyment of the family
and guests.
The sleeping group comprises
bedrooms, sleeping porches, bath
rooms, closets, etc., that are gener
ally placed in the upper floors, ex
cept in bungalows, where they are
on the ground floor.
1 The service group consists ot the
kitchen, pantry, store-closets, laun
dry, cellar, etc., aH ot which parts
should be conveniently grouped as
tar as possible. 4
Hints to Gardeners

Vegetable Breeder

Making the Garden Pay
MOST vegetable gardens are
grown to provide fresher, more
nourishing food for the family, and
to conserve on food bills.
The vegetables raised will be de
termined to a certain extent by the
amount ot space available. E«-
perience shows that a garden about
i 50' x 50' will provide a family of
I five with a good assortment and
quantity of fresh vegetables during
I the summer.
Perhaps the most important vege
tables, from point of view of food
value and space required, are:
Beans, cabbage, carrots, beets,
squash, tomatoes, onions, peas and
spinach An abundance of all these
can be grown in a 50 x 50 garden.
And there will be room for a row
or two of flowers. Calendula, zin
nia and petunia are perhaps the
most satisfactory.
Good-sized, money saving yields
of these vegetables can be grown in
;. a garden but halt that size. In any
case, economize on space and add
to garden yield by following these
suggestions: Plant two crops of
spinach, one early in the growing
season, the other in tall. Plant
Chinese cabbage, carrots, beets and
peppers in fall in space earlier oc
cupied by beans, radishes and peas.
Plant bush beans and beets on
both sides of tomato rows. When
tomatoes need the space, those
earlier crops will have been pulled
and used
While corn takes up considerable
space, many may wish to include
It If so. conserve space by plant
lag spinach or beets or onions be
tween rows of the slower-growing
corn. Or grow pole beans (cornfield
beans) to climb on the corn stalks.
Where a space greater than 50 x
50 is available, such crops as sum
»er squash, cucumbers, swiss
ebard, watermelon and cantaloupe
„ Mt be included.

A CHARACTERISTIC feature of
American dwellings is the
porch, which occurs in one form or
another In many residences.
Porches form sheltered places in
which to sit in pleasant weather.
They also may be enclosed as sun
rooms which may be used as sitting
rooms in cold weather, for break
fast rooms or for sleeping porches.
In some cases they are heated by
steam or hot water. Fireplaces are
sometimes Installed. If you are
planning to build it would be wise
to give considerable thought to this
feature. Make it fit your needs and
contribute to the utility of your
home. <
e ...
In this day of sun worshipers
the home-builder should be espe
cially concerned about such matters
as the sun porch It is usually an
enclosed porch with special furni
ture It differs from an ordinary
room in having two or more sides
formed of windows. The builder’s
taste In interior decorations usually
has full sway here.
...
The doorway or main entrance to
a house is important. It may add
character to a home, and in some
styles of architecture, such as the
colonial architecture of the United
States, the finish of the building Is
quite simple, while the design of
the principal doorway may be elab
orate. Doors are constructed ot a
variety of different materials and
are used in various ways. The
doors of an average residence are
generally made of wood, or wood
and glass* You can exercise good
Judgment or display poor taste tn
selecting doors for your home. •
