Started before "Snow White and

whole new form of entertainment.
Technically miraculous as it is.
it is , the emotional content of
est importance. The life cycle of
very being with a heart to love
with, a soul to rejoice with, a body
to suffer with, is followed in the
story. Birth, f rowth, romance, an
guish, triumph all are found in
Bambi. Through, his wild am
mal characters, Disney tells what
may be called one of the great
Jove stories oi the woria. ; .
Bambi Is a deer, the prince of
the forest. His friends are Thum

tail; Flower, a skunk who can be
described only as very sweet; Fa
line, the doe Bambi wins after a
life-and-death fight; and many
pther inhabitants : of the great
forest. : ' -. v. ..; '
Perhaps the most brilliant part
Of "Bambi" is the sequence in
which the stalwart :. young buck
: and his . friends succumb to the
nwitterpated influence against
which they have been warned by'
the wise old Owl. This sequence is
inspired tomfoolery and "twitter-

, ! By LILLIE
... Because K. B. of Salem has written to ask me about "Grow
ing tuberous-rooted begonias," and L. R., also of Salem, has
included, in a letter received this
"Are they new? We have heard
What type of place, do they grow
in, sunshine or shade? What type
of soil? Do they grow from seed?'
I'll try to answer hi one arti
cle, all ! the tuberous-rooted be
gonia questions which I have re
ceived in the past several days.
George Otten, whose little book
on tuberous be
gonias has gain
ed a wide cir
culation, tells us
that the "tuber-
ous-rooiea oe
gonia was intro
n
duced in -Europe
in the early part
of the nineteenth
century, seeds
and tubers hav
ing been - sent
Henderson in England in 1847. It
was a novelty, but its flowers
were small and did not excite the
floral world." 1
In ' recent years, however, its
flowers semingly have greatly ex
cited the floral world, and thou
sands of visitors have caned at
the Seaside gardens of both Mr,
Otten and the late George Baker.
Evefv -year, the beautifully col
ored blooms gather new converts.
The tuberous-rooted begonia
must, to do well, have shade. la
fact, it will m do at all In f uH
son. The soil should be rich
and moist. Beneath tall trees,
whose branches are around ten
feet from the grannd. Ideal
places can be" found. Some of
the nicest taberons-rooted be
gonias I have ever seen, were
crowing beneath an apple tree
in a Portland garden. The flow-
en were
Immense and there
was an immense number of
flowers fer the namber of
slants. ;
These: begonias are surface
feeders and do not need to have
a deeply cultivated and enriched
soiL - But a rich soil they must
have, and additional plant food
on the surface of the ground dur
ing the summer is appreciated.
Propagation may be had ty seen,
which - should be planted in Feb
ruary.! But one must' obtain the
seed from a reliable firm. ; Unless
the seed is hand-pollinated, only
a very few, if any at an, will
germinate. Seeds may be sown
In a "common florist's flat. But
great care must be taken. Mr.
Otten suggests that the flat should
be filled half full with water
soaked peat, and on this finely
sifted soiL composed of leafmold
and peat together with a little
harp sand, be used. The very
fine seeds" should be sown even
ly and after they have been plant
ed, the soil should be sprayed
with an atomized. The box should
be kept in a dark pUce until the
seeds . germinate. A. glass cover
ing at night is advised and night
temperature should not oe - per
mitted to drop below. 50 degrees.
Some : professional growers start
the seeds' on a bed of finely ground
cinders or rock.
If one grows the begonias from
tubers, start the tubers tiis month-l

An Important phase in history
was the Phoenicians, who were the
first people , to develop a yen - to
monopolize world , trade, They
lived on the shores of a sea called
the Mediterranean and ' were
thought ' to have, originated the
idea of Mediterranean cruises.
For these cruises they built
what were called . galley ships.
They also concocted an alphabet
which in time led to printing and
galley: proofs.
Their galleys were powered
by slaves and this necessitated
the creation of a f. coxswain to
'drive vthem. T h e creation 'of
coxswains fostered the idea of
sergeants; and this marked the
beginning of a stout but. some,
times untrustworthy . belief in
cause and effect.
- The Phoenicians caused a lot
of traveling. The effect was a lot
of trading, and this gradually led
Droflt and loss, caoital and labor I
and rugged individualism vs. the
new aeai.
Of Importance also was the
Roman empire. It -was governed
by a council of elders which be
came the senate, the beginning of
a rash that was destined to spread
to other, parts.
The Romans produced war
ships that were; shaped like
bananas.. These were used In
the - Ponie - wars against Car
thage and weref soon lustra- -mental
in the undoing of Hann-
bal, an elephant trainer who set
the . pace for another bad egg,
- centuries later, called the fuehr-
er. r ' .::
The Roman empire became a
nation of friends, Romans , and
citizens, and got involved in i
long procession of wars. This was
so her generals could return home
victorious amid great jubilation.
One of these generals was named
Julius Caesar, whose- operations
became known as Caesarian and
who became the first great dicta-
tor - -
Caesar stood for some drastic
retorms, one oi which was per-1
mistaken for a veto and murder-
ed. I
After this, things went , froml
bad to worse until the end, which
was called the fall of Rome.
Until around the year 1000, Eng-1
land was little more than a flock I
of bluebirds over the cliffs of I
