NEW YORK. (Special corre spondence.) As if we poor femmes have not enough to worry about with faces that are a constant source of concern In main lining the bloom we love to acquire by fair means or skin food, comes man the basic source of all our aaxtety, admit it whether you will or no right out in public with the flagrant accusation we are a two faced race; that the dissimilarity of the two hemispheres of the face is distinctly pronounced In most of us. Be it said in all fairness to the ac cuser", however, he projects his own physiognomy into his charge. But mere man should worry if his face is on straight. His only con cern will be to keep his straight while we are worrying about ours. Of course, we will. We worry about the angle of the hat; we worry if the stocking; seam doesn't run a true and direct course; we worry about skirt hems and so on and so on. Some of us have had our own sus picions about this dual facial career. N. Y.. was recently elected national treasurer of the national woman's party. Miss Ainge is one of the latest comers into the group which meets in headquarters only a few hundred feet from the capitol. Countess Irene di Robilant, daughter of General and Senator Robilant, who is associate manager of the Italy-American society, is in abetted by revealing photographs of right side profiles and left side pro files. ' Causes of Marked Varlatloa. A current dental periodical rises right up" in meeting with 'the an nouncement that the dexter and sin ister sides of our otherwise perfect ovals are neither equal to the same thing nor to one another; that the muscular action of the right and left side is frequently so different as to contribute marked variation to he face. But with the dental wisdom of the day which cannot be ignored, they open our mouths and look therein for the reason; at the same time granting certain habits of smiling and facial contortions con tribute to the unevenly balanced face. In a recent French art journal the lament was registered that few per sons present a properly balanced face, one or the other side being lifeless, characterless, and, above all, smileless. AU photographers will testify that the United States to give lectures to promote a better understanding between the countries. .-- Miss Bonnie Murray, who was I judged to be the most beautiful girl in all Iowa, is said to be an old fashioned girl who knows more about cooking than flirting. She will use her $1000 prize- money to start a college education. their subjects have a side better than the other; no successful one ever guilty of saying the other sid is not good, too. Which reminds me of the lesson in diplomacy given by a salesmanship expert. He illus trated his point with the story of the unsuccessful young salesman who said to his fair patron: "Your right foot is larger than your left," whereas the wise young clerk re marked: "Madam, your left foot is smaller than your right." . Which brings about the observa tion with many of us it is not only one side of the face which differs from the other. The difference is marked throughout the whole side of the body one eye being stronger; one hand and foot requiring the more comfortable fitting shoe and glove. Favor Right Side of Month. With rare exceptions, we are a right-handed race, from which den tists draw the deduction, not with out stattstical'basis, that we favor the right side of the mouth and give it more exercise in the chewing of food, which induces peridental de- velopment and keeps the teeth in healthier condition than on the left, resulting- in a better" contour of cheek and chin on the dexter side. Their statistics prove the left side is weaker, more subject to ulcera tions, decays and inflammations than the right side of the mouth; that the left side possesses the greater number of crowns, bridges and partial plates and the greater number of fillings. . You may gather some little statis tics of your own and see if this has not the sound of reason. I think it has. And I would suggest that the worrying about the sides of the face being uneven be confined to the con dltion of the teeth. Dental Surgery Remarkable. What missing teeth or artificial dentures worn too long without re adjustment will do toward changing a fairly robust cheek into a shrunk en, emaciated one is seen only too often. 3Deep furrows and wrinkles advertise the shrinking process go ing on beneath, even in younger folk. Dental surgery has made such re markable strides iu the. last few years that faces may be practically remodeled by its aid. Even drooping mouth corners are corrected. It has become an art as well as a science. Almost everyone knows a missing tooth should be supplanted with an artificial one to preserve facial beauty. But not everyone knows artificial dentures necessitate occa sional observation and possible re placement to restore the balance of the face. Think of the trouble and expense, to say nothing of the facial beauty, that might be saved if we learned to chew food correctly with the first teeth and had the practice so in stilled as to give exercise to every tooth every day of our lives. Hard Food Give Kxerclae. Nature forms the teeth with curves, planes and crests, and lo cates them in such position that the passage of food over the various surfaces, together with the move ment of the tongue, lips and cheeks, produces a natural condition of cleanliness. This condition Is modi fied in proportion to abuses, habits, faults from youth and influence of modern diet. In, olden times and among savage peoples of the present day the same holds true the grinding and crunch ing of the coarser grain and hard breadstuffs cleaned the teeth. The true form of the jaws was pre served through proper use. The crushing of hard foods is the true exercise. Compare the plain and coarse diet of the aborigines with the cakes, creams, puddings and pre pared foods of today, requiring no mastication, and you have supplied the answer to the riddle of why the teeth of savage people are pre served without dental aid. Chew on Both Sides. The crunching of dry toast, hard crust, popcorn ana iooas tnat -re quire vigorous chewing should be Indulged in every day, for no other reason than to give the jaw their daily exercise. Upon the healthy condition of the jaw tissues largely depends the even contour of the face. Or, in other words, chew foods on both sides of the mouth evenly, take certain amount of coarse foods daily, and you will be doing all In your power to keep your face on straight, unless you have unbal anced yours by smiling and laughing entirely on one hemisphere, inducing inactivity of one set of muscles. Answers to Beauty. Queries. Mrs. P. Well, why not be Indi vidual in shoes as in other dress items? You probably wouldn't wear a poke bonnet and a bouffant -Waistline because it is not your style. The short vamp shoes are not enough "on" anyway to be chosen for that reason. The woman with a long, narrow foot should choose aristocrat shoes to be in the picture, particu larly if she is tall. Black, brown and gray are better for her than white, as a rule. There's no doubt about it at all. The skirts are looerer much. Better leave a- wide I hem for the day when ypu will fall ' into the parade. We all fall sooner or later, no matter how we may i kick at first. Not the street-sweep-j er length, but about eight inches, is tre popular note, modistes tell me. Query Beefsteak, round, average helping. 150 calories; tenderloin steak, one slice, 250; corned beef hash, two heaping tablespoons, 80; lamb chop, one broiled; 100. I won der if you would not like a little booklet I have. just completed giv ing a list of foods with calories values. All it will cost you is a stamped, addressed envelope. Fish, meats, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, breads, pastries, etc., are al listed therein. ' Lorraine Flabby eyelids are due to a lack of physical tone, just as flabby cheeks are. The remedy is to tone up the system. The eyelids or old people usually show thi condi tion, but you are a long way from that excuse. Txr you get enough rest? Any exercise? Eat right? You had better make a study of what a normal system requires to keep it in good condition in the way of daily exercise and food require ments. Kathleen Oh. my dear girl, you certainly do need to reduce. One hundred and eighty would disfigure any girl of 23. Before you add n othe ounce hurry along the stamped envelope for my diet and exercises, guaranteed to knock off pounds at a lively rate if you fur nish the will to go fairly foodless and do a goodly amount of exercise in a week. Postcard Shower Planned for Foreign Missions. Methodist Episcopal Children to Conduct Campaign, CHICAGO. Sept. 30. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Between now and November 15 there will be mailed lo the 3000 Methodist Episcopal Sun day schools In the United States 72,009 postcards from the 2 home and foreign mission school centers of the world. The i board of Sunday schools is taking this means' of bringing the members of the Sunday schools in America in personal touch with the schools they help to maintain in all quarters of the world. Each school superintendent in this country will receive a card from students in Corea, Jaan. China, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, Africa, Liberia, North Africa. Central Eu rope, Mexico and South America Cards also will be Sent from the domestic school centers located at Boston, the frontier school in Mon tana, Church of All Nations of New York city, Spanish-American insti tute at Gardens Cal.; Pittman Cen ter, school at Emerts Cove, Tenn. Pueblo Indian school, Pennsylvania settlement schools, Porto Rican schools, Hawaiian schools and Wiley college at Marshall, Tex. In each instance the cards will be addressed and a snort message writ ten by one of the students oflh schools. The messages will be in the way of a personal appeal from the children who need help to the chil dren who are helping them. More than one and one-half mil lion dollars were contributed by American Sunday school students to missionary work last year. -'vriBrrj-finnrV r HIS is the season tor the dahlia and due to the wonderfully fine weather of the last few weeks the brilliant flowers have been at their best for the past week or so. To those who contemplate planting dahlias next year I would advise that they visit the various dahlia farms during the coming week and make their selections, for no matter how well a description may be drawn there is nothing like Seeing flowers in actual bloom. It 'is always well to see the plant, for you can then not only judge of its color possibilities but also of its vigor, growth and blooming quali ties. The actual seeing of the plant in flower is much better than depend ing on a description, for It Is a natural failing of all professional growers to become very enthusi astic about their productions, and if you are caught in the wave of enthusiasm you are very likely to be disappointed later. Last week The Oregonian had quite an extensive review of the Mastick dahlia gardens, which have secured much fame for Portland as a center of floral culture, but an' other garden which has also ex tended the fame of this city for producing flowers is that of Gill Bros., where the dahlias last week were at perfection and will con tinue ' to show all their beauties until a hard frost. They will prob ably be a little better this week,' for the recent rains have been beneficial. If you desire to see some very fine blooms and a wide variety I would suggest you do not delay in visiting Gill Bros, plant, which can be reached by going out East Glisan street to the Craig road and then a short distance along that road. Aside from a number of their own productions the novelty attracting attention this year is the Egyptian Sun God, which caused quite a sensation last year when flrt shown in California. Its colors cannot be described, being a rich orange red .witn a neavy yeiiow sheen and certainly is most bril liant. The price of this variety is so high that I doubt if it will find a place outside of collectors' gar dens for a few years, but if anyone is looking for something that is nevel and striking this dahlia will certainly answer. Of the new pro ductions by Gill Bros. Oregon 1925 presents something that is quite attractive and apparently is a good dahlia for the garden. It is a hybrid cactus type and the color is new, being as nearly as can be de scribed a brilliant rose carmine with a cerise suffusion. The petals aro not incurved like most dahlias of ' the cactus type, but have a peculiar side twist and resemble a huge brilliantly colored aster. City of Portland, which was pro duced In 1918, is grown in great profusion and apparently is of a good garden type and is probably the largest yellow dahlia grown, for a number of them were eight inches in diameter and several of them even larger. Mr. Gill says that he has produced flowers 13 inches in diameter. This is the variety which won the first prize for the largest bloom at the San Francisco dahlia show In 1920. It is of the peony type, as is also the James C- Gill, a rich orange, toned with scarlet, and the Marcella Gill, soft rose pink, both of which varie ties are used by florists for cut flower purposes, they being quite satisfactory, ranking with Mina Burgle, which has long been a favorite cut flower variety. There is quite a display of the collarette type of dahlias, which in the past few years have proved popular and of the striking . one growing Mount Lassen is probably the great novelty, being a fiery red with yellow collar, and the blooms are produced on long stems. Aria, soft rose, zoned white in the center and with a white collar is also very attractive. There is an almost end less list of the cac.tus and show types and in addition to these they have grown about 16 varieties of pompons, which are much used for decorations. If you desire to see another fine lot of dahlias you can do so by visiting the city park, where an acre or more of them are now in bloom and embrace practically all the popular varieties. This plant-' ing is located on the hillside over looking the reservoirs and close to the bird cages. There are more than 100 different varieties in this collection and while they are not marked one can get a very good idea as to the range of colors to be found In dahlias. The floral display at the state fair at Salem during the past week I think was the finest and best arranged that has ever been staged, comprising not only a wealth of blooms and potted plants, but also covered a wide, range of varieties. The grounds also had a wealth of growing flowers and plants, em bracing all those types which flower best in September and October. The long bed of salvia, stretching clear across the space in f ront " of the arena and holding several thousand plants, was a gorgeous blaze of color. The plants were exception-, ally fine, being from two feet to 30 inches high and each panicle of flowers perfect. The big planting of dahlias near the Horticultural hall was most ex tensive, embracing 100 or more va rieties. In the front were grouped the pompom types, ahd grouped back of these were the larger ones of the show, peony and cactus types, while at the end was a good col lection of the collarettes, which seem to be growing in favor.

I saw at the fair several dahlias with good stiff stems which I think are excel lent for cut-flower effects and I will review them at some future date. Aside from the exterior plants the real beauties of the floral display were inside of the hall. The flor ists certainly put forth a big effort to gain the favorable opinion of the Judges and the displays were mag nificent, but these I will leave later to review, for 1 'have space this Sunday to speak of only one or two things of particular interest to the amateur growers and these were the displays of flowers grown in the open, those which have an ap peal to the average gardener. Of these displays, that made by Henry Clemens of Newberg, who is endeavoring to establish Oregon's reputation for producing good sweet pea seeds, was the most notable. It covered a most extensive space and embraced practically every flower for the garden. The showing of asters, particularly of a big deep rose color, was most attractive and on account of their size, texture and richness of color, the flowers were equal to fine chrysanthemums. The center of the display was a huge vase of Mr. Clemens' new African marigold lemon queen, very rich and striking in color, and a most bril liant companion for his other type of orange king. These two strains have been developed in Oregon in the past few years and have been well received by the professional growers. The display of straw flowers was most extensive, Mr. Clemens having brought probably 15 different types from his fields at Newberg. His dahlias, Michaelmas daisies, scabl osa, salplglossis and a number of other flowering annuals were equally good, but the thing which -impressed me most was the great collection of outdoor-grown sweet peas, covering probably 20 varieties. The blooms were as fine and on as long stems as Is usual in July and how he accom plished such results this late in the season is unknown to me, but some day I am going to get hold of Mr. Clemens, learn his methods ahd will no doubt have something of Interest to tell the readers of the depart ment about late sweet peas. Next in interest as a display of outdoor-grown flowers was t.hat of the state hospital at Salem, and while I have known for a long time that Dr. R. Lee Steiner, the super intendent, has been doing a most interesting work in endeavoring to interest the unfortunate inmates in horticultural work, I had no Idea that his efforts had extended to such a wide variety of plants. The display of dahlias from the state hospital grounds was most extensive and in number of varieties shown rivaled that of the-largest exhibit of the professional growers. In ad dition to that the quality was most excellent. The display of the state hospital occupied a space about ten feet square and covered about 30 vari eties of flowering plants, ranging from asters to zinnias. Dr. Stelner's effort not only in beautifying the hospital grounds but also in en couraging f)ower culture among the Inmates is most praiseworthy and that he Is accomplishing results was shown in the display staged at the fair. The exhibits by the profes sional growers contained many nov elties, some in the arrangement of the flowers and In color combina tion, but these I will tell you about next Sunday. At all the .places in eastern Ore gon which the recent caravan vis ited, the Portland visitors were greeted with flowers. At Elgin the display arranged by the ladles of that town was quite striking, but at La Grande the visitors were made to feel at home. When Mr. Cherry, the florist of that place, learned that Tommy Luke, the Portland flor ist, was in the party, he cut from his greenhouses' 300 Mrs. Charles Russell rosebuds and thecs were distributed by Mr. Luke among the visiting party. Despite what are usually regarded in eastern Oregon as climatic drawbacks. Mr. Luke says that Mr. Cherry is meeting with success in growing roses and that he has found that Mrs. Russell is particularly suitable to conditions east of the mountains. . There probably has been no time for 15 years when there has been such a flood of gladioli on the flower market as there has been this year. No matter where you go in Portland for 'the past few weeks you would find, these pretty flowers every where. Men and boys have been hawking them around the streets and In the hotel lobbies and the blooms nave sold for practically a song. They have really been a dm on the market. This condition, how ever, prevails not only In Portland, but practically everywhere, for if you read florists' papers you will find that growers seem to have gone crazy over gladioli. One florist told me a few days ago that a similar condition pre vailed 15 years or more ago and eo many bulbs were produced they overcrowded the market to such an extent that they could not find a sale and tons of them had to be destroved. He said that at that time he bought bulbs of that great va-1 riety America for 40 cents a hun- j dred, while today the price is about 1 T cents a dozen. SO many persons - fii' - i'Tr.rfariiftiifl - ai, - fffi iifciir1nWfaiaiTi;-titr--,r viar -tote PARK. finding gladioli were easy to culti vate that hundreds went lnto the business, with the result that many of them went broke. Apparently the country is facing the same con dition again and a note of warning is being sounded by the florists and nurserymen s papers. The Florists' Exchange, In a re cent number, says: "Considering the fact that every flower-selling center has had a surfeit of gladiolus this season, what is likely to happen in the future? It looks as if the bona fide growers have overdone the thing by encouraging all to plant gladioli in quantity. Every TomJ kick and Harry has gotten me no tion that gladiolus growing Is a gold mine either from a cut-flower or bulb point of view. It looks as if we have more than reached the limit as regards cut bloom. What is so ing to happen when everyone starts unloading bulbs. I can imagine some of the farmer folk who have been stung on the cut-bloom propo sition will want to realize on their bulbs." I think every amateur wonders at some time how florists 'handle cer tain kinds of flowers and makes them attractive. Of course soma ol the things florists do are trade, se crets, but occaslonaly one of these gets out. In New York Max Schling has a wonderful flower shop on Fifth avenue and the things he In troduces are always eagerly seized by florists. To help out the trade Mr. Schling runs a school for flor Ists and it is attended by men in the trade from all parts of the country. In addition to this, all sorts of in quiries are sent to him and from time to time answers them through the trade papers. One of the questions asked him re cently was, "How can I keep popples for several days without the petals falling off?" Mr. Schling answered this through the Florists' Exchange, and as the answer, I thought, might Interest some amateurs who have not used poppies for decorations. I clipped it out. Mr. Schling says: "Dip the stems after cutting in boil ing water. Also dissolve a littl gum arable in the water and with a small brush put a few drops on the inside where the petals connect with the stem and also a drop where the petals touch each other. The gum arable will harden and enable you to keep the, poppy In your window for a week.' A new dianthus or garden pink. which it is claimed will be of great value to the- average amateur, was snown recently in London, being production of Arthur Treland, the English sweet-pea export, who has produced so many new varieties. This new dianthus Is the result of crossing the scarlet beauty variety or sweet William with a single car nation, a seedling while lacking In floral beauty showed great vigor and length of stems. The new dian thus is said to have strong, straight stems about 18 Inches in length and bears large trusses of carmine rose flowers. The oldest living tree in the world is said by scientists to be the famous cypress in the church yard of the village of Santa Maria del Tule, a short distance from the city of Mexico. Experts estimate that th tree is between 6000 and 6000 years old. When Cheops built the great pyramM in Egypt this tree is said to have been a sap ling then 200 years old. The last time the tree was measured of ficially was in 1903 and it was found to be 126 feet in circum ference. Arrangements are being made for scientists to visit the tree this winter" when they will take measurements of various parts and begin a scientific study of its growth, observations to be made every year to determine its prog ress. In arranging flowers for home decorations the shape and the size of the vase, are most important. If you have ever noticed -the shape of the vases used by florists to hold his stock of cut flowers you will realize the Importance that shape plays. 'You will very seldom find a professional using a vase with a tapering . base for the reason such a shape gives very little room for stems and when flowers with stout stems are put in vases of such shape they are often so contnacted as to cut off the supply of water. When this occurs the flowers soon the containers in ths flower shops have straight sides and the next popular "hap are The Charm of an Iris Garden Irises are the loveliest thing in the .garden in late May and June. And they're wonderfully easy to grow. Plant now and enjoy their exquisite flowers next spring.

Answer It la apparent that your plants have suffered from attacks of black aphis and also red spider. Both of them can be gotten rtd of by good spraying with a strong stream of water. Screw down the nozzle of your hose tilt tt makes a -fins spray. Ths aphis will stick ', very tight and it may be necessary , to Isold the plant while washing it off to save breaking and get the necessary force, tfee they are washed" off clean and repeat tt un- til the pest disappears. Nicotine and soap sprays are usu ally good for aphis, but I have found that the best Is just good, clean water from a fine forceful nozzle. The same treatment should be used for red spider. They get on the under side of ths leaves and usually cannot bs reached by an ordinary spray. They have to be knocked off, so turn the nozzle of the hose up through ths leaves and wash off good. If the florists did not do this they would not have a chrysthanthemum and many other plants. It you go Into a greenhouse you will see men In rubber coats and boots and with a hose on which -there Is a peculiar shaped nozzle, made like an elbow in a pipe. They rest this on the bed and wash off the under side of the leaves This Is the most effective way of keep- ' ing down red spider. Owing to the warm summer and also ths warm fall red spider has probably been worse In, Portland this year than ever before, at least I have noticed It so In my garden. Ths red spider Is a small insect about an eighth of an inch in diameter and feeds on the under aids of the foliage. Sometime between Jsnuary and Juns of this year there appeared an srtleie In the ssrden department of Ths ftundsy Oregonian about a certain ornamental tree then crowing" In Portland. 1 pre. sums that yon wers the author of ths artlcls. Anyhow, you spoks of ths besu. tlful buds in particular and follags of this particular tree, and of Ita lante sIes, You expressed surprise thst mora people do not plant thts tree. 1 sm one reader who was favorsbly influenced by your description of It and would like to know the nam of ths variety In or der that I may purchass one. As I re member, this particular tree wss grow. Ing In the yard of soms "Judge," Hying . on ths east side. If, from my descrip tion, you are able to recall ths article and subject, 1 shall be very glad, to learn the name of ths vsrlety: slso where this tree can be seen. When would you advise transplanting trees bota ornamental and fruit? H. J. A., Oswegs. The tree you probably refer ' to was the red or blood oak, of which I mentioned that a very fine speci men was growing In the yard of what was ths homo of the lats Judge Bellinger on Holladay ave nue near East Sixth street. The tree is now surrounded by a num ber of other large trees and It does not stand out as clearly as a speci men tree of that character should. I do not recall that I mentioned anything about It having buds, for, of course an oak tree does not, but what I did call attention to was its slender, symmetrical shape and its beautiful foliage, which Just now is turning into a glorious rich blood color. If you wilt send me a stamped envelope I can give you the nam of a local nursery where you can see this tree growing. The time to plant or transplant trees or shrubbery is in the fall, after we have had soms good rains snd low temperature, but In transplanting, unless the stock is dormant, you want to make sure you leave a large ball of earth to those which you transplant, for the act of mov ing Is a sufficient shock to a grow ing plant and the larger ball of earth you can leave to the root the quicker will the plant recover from the transplanting. Will you kindly give ms sdvics shout my gladiolus bulbs? They did not come up until July 10 snd are about eight Inches high. What shall I do with them this winter? Will they bloom nest year? I have dshllas In bloom from seed planted last spring. Will they livs out this winter? I never take up the old buibs, only cut off tops sner frnMt snd cover. MRS, 11. BANKS, Or. Answer Probably your gladiolus were too small to flower this year. After the foliage has died down, which will indicate that the bulbs are cured, dig them up and store them over winter In a dry. coot place away from frost- An ordinary root cellar or where potatoes ars stored will do. You should In this climate always, dig your dahlia bulbs. While they may not bs dam aged by frost the winters In west ern Oregon are so wet the bulbs wi?l frequently rot, therefore the only way of being sure of having good tubers next spring Is to dig them after frost has killed ths tops and store th roots In a cellar. norrMxrtlc Cattle Crossed With Vk Yak Imported Into Alaska will be crossed with Galloway cattle 1n an attempt to produce a meat animal that can withstand the hard winters cf the far north.
