And the ; real -gardener finds
this very true -alt but the hot

coming, . - .
We are advised ia this day of
shortage of labor to let the lawn
grow as high, as -possible, and
still be able to cut it with the
lawn mower. This method has two
reasons: first, the lawn does not
have to be cut as often; second,
the taller grass shades the weeds
and crowds them out. Weeds do
not flourish 4n shade: You do
not have to weed quite as much
by hand.. . . ; . : r. :

Tided in July and August. You
may have, some difficulty in find
ing the plants unless you stake
them. They do'. the disappearing

blooming. Those of you who want
new ones -should - remember, to
plant them out in late summer. I
have had --aumber. of inquiries
this ; past month about planting
oriental poppies. Whenever they
bloom in one's . friends' garden
then we want them. The -rest of
the time we forget about them.
But when" they are blooming, is
not .the time to plant them. You
plant them in August and Sep
temberswhen they are definitely
not in bloom. It might be well
to make a note of this on "your
garden calendar.;; -Restrictions
on the use of roten

been somewhat relaxed. And
what rotenone will do to the en

Most of you know .the new for

are from the old method of tak

the ground lie idle for years. Now
when some "trees are taken out,
forest seeds are planted to replace
the trees that are gone. Well that
is a good principal to apply; to
your garden. Don't let it lie idle
this year. Give tt-a shot of victory

. At this time of year many per
sons' think they are amphibious
and, take to the water like' bea
vers. Some, lacking the aquatic
self-confidence of a beaver, equip
themselves1 with' water wings.
Now Prof Otherlvise has nothing
against the use of water wings if
the objective is merely a bath in
public But they certainly are not
recommended as' an aid to water
traveL They not only Impede
progress, but also have a discour
aging tendency to run out of wind
at a time when the swimmer him
self runs out of wind.
Besides,, most persons are na
turally buoyant Persons who are
overweight are especially buoy
ant This is said to be due to
buoyancy, which in turn is caused
by metabolism and specific grav
ity. Buoyancy causes what is
known in maritime circles as "dis
placement" That will give you a
rough idea.
Swimming Is an art which
. eaa be acquired only by learn
ing te swim. The twe mast pop
alar styles are the American
and the Australian crawL The
only difference. Is that one
swinurtae Australian crawl
with the head submerged, ex
cept when It becomes necessary
te breathe. The Idea was eon-.
trflrated by the ostrich. The
-American- era wl -was "designed
; far sprint swimming and John-'
. ny Weiasmvller, by. Coach Bui:
-; Baehrach ef Chieage, ". ?
: With, the crawl . stroke, - you
merely-lie on the surface and ex
ecute the proper arm and leg
movements. If objects - on . ' the
shore appear to be moving, don't
be alarmed, for it means you are
swimming. Also if you bump your
head against the end of the pooL
This means you should turn
around and swim back. p Or climb
out and take an aspirin." r ,
At first, you may not present a
pretty spectacle. But do not mind
that In fact yu must not mind
even though you never, present a
pretty spectacle. Do : not try to
imitate a seaL You '.. could not
swim with the grace and ease of
a seal even if yon wore a sealskin
coat valued at $10 a square inch.
It is bad practice wearing a seal
skin coat in swimming, anyway.
The modern public bather wears
as little as the law will allow.
A less spectacular but easier
method of swimming is the side
stroke. This is accomplished by
swimming on the side. It does not
require very much coordination of
the feet and hands. By reaching
out and pulling successive hand
fuls of water toward you with
your, hands," and kicking it away
from you with your feet, you can
often attain, amazing speed. An
accomplished side stroker some
times can attain the speed of a
surfeited mule grazing a path
through a straw stack.
! The meat dlfflcalt method Is
the back stroke although then
sands have mastered It Most
authorities agree that the most
sneeessfml method ef swimming
the back stroke Is on the back.

That is. with face up. The legs
are kept stiff at the tips but
slightly disjointed at the knees
and ankles. The arms are em
ployed alternately aa ears. The
outstanding advantage of this
method Is that ene dees net
blister the hands or lose the
eariocks, h r , . : ; j j i
The' oldest known swimming
method is the breast stroke, which
Is said to have originated in Den
mark in the ninth century, when
the Norsemen were preparing to
invade England. Captain Webb,
the first to swim the English
Channel, w a s a breast stroker.
Many swimmers use this method
but few really master it The
action Is similar to that of a mea
suring worm or a Jack rabbit,
w i t h the swimmer, successively
doubling up and stretching out
again. It has the disadvantage of
not being very much fun. Besides
being, undignified.
Among the aquatic sports close
ly allied with swimming is the
dive. There are many : types f
dives, such as the high dive, low
dive, swan dive, jack-knife dive,
gainer, half-gainer, twist, half
twist tobacco-twist and plunge
Another type of dive is that hid
den in an alley or on the outskirts
of town, where everybody knows
it exists but the police : and the
sheriff. This dive; is also some
times known as a "dump" or a
"joint" ; .- ' - - ' - "
A universal type ef dive Is the
belly-flopper. It Is practiced by
novices and persons who are In
herently timid. None but the ;
most mgred can stand snore
than - three er four belly-flop-pers
in one afternoon. Except
the hippopotamus. j
Learning to dive is somewhat
like trying to sing bass. You can
either do it or you cannot do it
Diving in shallow water is always
dangerous, while ' swimming in
deep water is equally dangerous.
The safest practice is to bathe at
home.- Unless you are merelv
seeking ..a - c-' of tan. And even
that is sometimes dangerous. And
so is trw'-g to sing bass
Perhaps we had better not saj
any more about it

In response to many inquiries
from housewives-who state that
they are finding jit increasingly
difficult to acquire large, wide
mouthed containers, such as cof
fee or shortening cans, in which
to deliver their waste kitchen fats
to butchers and meat dealers, the
Oregon state salvage committee
emphasized today t that any kind

purpose."' 1 ."'
: "It is true that larger cans are
preferable and should be used
whenever available," declared
Roderick Finney, executive secre

ever, if this type of can is not
available, any kind of a clean tin
can a fruit can, a vegetable can
or a soup can will do."

to 2134 spring term, scholarship
increased at the rate of 1 per cent
