One of the best Father's day
presents we can Imagine is a copy
of his favorite author's latest
book. Next best choice would be
to bring him home one of the
following books from the public
library.
Of undoubted interest to fact-
rerluX?lnJ$ T011
Like That, W. M. Kiplmger the
famous editor' and publisher of
the Kiplinger Washington News
letter issued to private subscrib
ers only. This new book is really
an encyclopedia of information
about the busiest and most im
portent capital in the world. All
nhaRM nf Washington life are
dealt with, from strictly political
to high society. Personalities are
more than mentioned but not lam
basted. Government agencies are
clearly described and diplomatic
functions are adequately covered.
Because of the author's Journalis
tic style and his ability to tell
much in a few words, the entire
i v a .:-v v ' u
although some might term the
vnium a r.foror, n, n r v Th
book is timely for today, and for
the future it is a source of his
tory. Another book of facts, but
one which is more connected
in the telling, is the new book
"This Fascinating Railroad
Business," written by Robert S.
Henry. This is not a treatise on
the nature of railroad appli
ances or methods, but is rather
a story of how men manage to
make rails, trains and power
operate so that there is a con
tinuous means of transportation
in every part of the country.
After reading this book the
watching of a passing train or
the hearing of a distant whistle
takes on new and added mean-
.lnr.
The success story of a family
that has contributed much to the
making of all wars a terrible ex
perience is at the same time an
admirable example of American
ingenuity; such a story is told in
Pont, One Hundred and
-
"Du
Forty Years." As author William
S. Dutton adequately points out
J
in his book, Du Pont powder has
done more than help wage wars,
for it has helped build railroads,
develop mines, clear land, and all
the things necessary to the expan
sion and building up of our coun
try. Perhaps of equal influence
exerted by the Du Pont enter
prises has been the extensive de
velopment of chemical industries
during the past 20 years. Hun
dreds of now common products
such as cellophane and special
lacquers and cloth goods have
come from the Du Pont labora
tories. This is the biography of a
great business more than the
story of a family for it is the in
dustrial accomplishments that are
set down rather than the family
life of the DuPonts.

Then came the Ice Age. Man

But Woman did, and said she was
cold. Man took her into a Cave

One day Man got te watching

what an Urge is, but it causes
Man to do strange Things. One of
Man's earliest Urges made him
want to Talk. This Urge is said
to be excessively prevalent in
Woman, although probably no
more so than in some Men, and
this fact created a Complex Sit-

more than 12 years with rodent breeding to supplement his bi-
ological studies.
Last week he shipped a colony of 12 mice of the species
known as grasshopper mouse (Onychomys), to Dr. Edward W.
Dempsey of the Harvard Medical
school, who will study their ten-
dency to epilepsy which Doctor
Barrows has been developing for
three years through five genera
tions of mice.
He observed the nervous
disorder resembling epilepsy la
eae mease when it was less
than a year old. He then bred
the mouse to Its near relatives
and Increased the symptomatic
tendencies In later generations.
The expression of symptoms
include bulging of eyes, tense
muscles, mouse spreads its feet
and trembles from a few seconds
to nearly a minute. The seizure is
followed by extreme exhaustion.
A few of his specimens have died
in a seizure. The pens are clean
ed once a week and seizures occur
then. Jangling keys will also pro
duce seizure.
The grasshopper mouse, so
called because it is fond of grass
hoppers as food, is common in
eastern Oregon, and has., a gray
back, white belly, large black
eyes, and is a nightwalking type.
It is a little larger than the ordi
nary house., mouse and has a
rather scrappy disposition. It is
found also in parts of California
where it Is a darker color.
Doctor Barrows feeds the mice
hamburger twice a week. They
will eat dog biscuit, corn, wheat
and sunflower seeds, also earwigs.
They would attack other mice if
food were scarce. They drink very
little Water but get moisture from
eating raw potatoes. ,
They like a sandbox to roll in
which seems to bring the natural
oil in their fur to the furface,

Their King was a man named
Cheops. During his reign the
Egyptians became so interested
in makinr Stone Mounds that
all Industrial Life soon went
Completely to Pot This caused
a Condition known as National
Unemployment.
One day King Cheops called his
Cabinet into Session and said.
"Gentlemen, all these millions of
idle men should be reemployed,
We have potential enemies all
around us, and yet our Defense
is woefully inadequate. The men
should be put to work on a huge

Military rrepareaness rroject.
"But nay," the cabinet said.
The People do not want to build
War Machine. They want only
to build Stone Mounds."
So the King put the matter
squarely up to the People, say-
jng, "My Friends, which will it
be? Since we cannot seem to put
a Chicken In Every Pot, shall we
have a War Machine or Alpha
betical Soup?"
The People chose the Soup.
And out of this came the Proj
ects. Untold Millions of Workers
were paid untold Millions out of
the Public Coffers for Untold Mil
lions of Man-Hours' Work.
' The finished Product was a
Superb Job and a Lasting Mon

A Woodburn gardener wrote
this week, quite indignant because
she had ordered some Dianthus
barbatus seed with the common
name given, as "Bunch Pinks.
Now tney are jn bloom she
finds she has "just common -
!wwi w;n;
opinion that some move should be
started to prevent seed men from
tion on the package .of seed as
well as the advertisement was
"simply glowing and I thought I
was getting
something very
beau t i f u I and
rare."
She may not
have received
anything very
rare, but, in my
opinion, she did
e 1 something
'T beautiful,
" she Krew them
right.
As to
pretenses,
"false
there
were none as far as the informa
tion she gives in her letter. Sweet
knowing the frailty of human na
. ... . .
ture when it comes to "something
new" or a "bargain," had just
failed to give the seeds their bet
ter known common name of
Sweet Williams. This is another
point in the battle to impress
gardeners to buy from reliable
seed growers. Someone accused
me of urging people to purchase
from "well-known" seed growers.
If I did.I am sorry, for I really
meant only "reliable." There are
many reliable growers who are
not nationally known.
But as to the beauty of Sweet
Williams! if anyone doubts this
and has the tires and gaso
line drive up toward Sublim
ity and view the Sweet Wil
liam gardens of Mrs. Theodore
Minden. She has certainly used
the old fashioned flower effec
tively and the great variety ef
eolor and markings U most Interesting-.
All about her vereta
ble gardens and her flower beds
are these borders, two ieet
wide, of solid Sweet William
plantings. This, she explained,
was their third "blooming.'
They were better the first and
the second year, she added. But,
to me. they seemed better thaf
most Sweet Williams I had sees
at the various flower shows this
spring.
The tells that she saves her owh
seeds and sows the plants soon
after the seed Is ripe. They bloom
the next season. While the Sweet
William is a perennial, the young
er plants do give the best bloom,
Mrs. Minden said. The blooms are
larger, the bunches are larger on
each plant and the color fi
brighter. They will, of course, re-
sow themselves, but they are bet-
ter if dug up and planted ov
dug up and planted over by
seed. The two-year-old plants are
at their peak.
Dlanthuses like a warm soil,
and one that will not become
too wet at any time, especially
daring our long rainy winter.
There are double Sweet Wil
liams, but these do not always
come absolutely true to seed. Cut
tings can be made of these. But
the percentage of doubles Is pretty
high.
ZZLV u
Newport Pinks, many of the deep
reds, the scarlets and the whites,
The old-fashioned ones are varle-
gated and make you think of cal-
ico of by-gone days.
I am sorry I earn not agree
with ' the Woodburn . gardener
who speaks so sarcastieslly
about the Dianthus barbatus. To
me, the Sweet William is eae of
ear finest old-fashioned flow
ers, and its fragrance ta the
evening lends a definite en
chantment te any garden.
