1 .. School Health Bill Approved In House Vote Passed by the house and sent to the senate Saturday was legisla tion designed to strengthen the program of physical education In elementary and nigh schools. A bill to require military train ing in all high schools lor dura tion of the war and six months thereafter was defeated. The approved bill (HIT 53) sets VP definite standards of physical fitness for students, and approp riates $26,000 for supervision of the program. Ren. Lyle Thomas, Dallas, chairman of the education com mittee, said that Oregon draft re jectiona are "shockingly high" and that the weakness of tne pny ical education program in schools was caused by lack of finances. The house indefinitely post poned, by a standing vote, a bill by Rep. Paul R. Hendricks, Sa lem, which would have .required all high school students to take one hour a day of military train ing until six months after. the war. The vote was on a unanimous "do not pass report of the edu cation committee. '' ' Hendricks ! argued that all the training youngsters might I get before entering military service would be added protection in battle and assistance In advancing through the military Franks.

Injury Fund Approved by Senate ( . A bill creating a so-failed sec tid injury fund sought by the State industrial accident commis sion was passed by the senate with no opposition Saturday. ; This measure, if approved by the house and signed by the gov ernor, will give protection under You still have to have hya cinths for the soul. I really wish I could blazen this on a huge sign mid or oyer ; sonscientious per i aon might see it Every week, I I get several let- fers beginning in : two or three ityles. Common Is: "I like flow trs so well and CO: they seem to cheer me, but do you suppose I ought only to Ullie. Uadsca raise vegetables during jthe war?" There are many variations of this, but the thought Is similar. At the hospitals, patients are permitted Cowers. They are not given medicine alone. And many of you, I am sure, have received, as I have, letters front the boys cross, in one place or another, which mention a i flower they have seen, a garden, or something that was "pretty. It seems to mean much to them. In one letter I had from England the boy wrote quite a bit about some pansies and violets seen blooming and this soldier is by no means a "pansy"' or a "violet." He has seen much action for ' which he has been awarded medals and ribbons, but he was much more interested in the flowers. We definitely need flowers here at home, too. Even if we have to mix them in with onions and radishes. This continuous question about whether it Is 'wrong' to grow flowers In war time might almost be like asking if one should take time to comb one's hair, shave, or use a dash "of lipstick or if one should, in stead, devote- all one's time , to "necessary war work." We hear a lot about shattered nerves both In the armed forces and at home. Perhaps if some of these could have gone out and looked at a pansy or a violet at tha right moment, another soldier or V another war worker might have been saved for useful work instead of suffering from a ner vous ailment.

Besides I think spring onions and. spring violets look very nice together in the garden, and there is nothing wrong with a few an nual phlox growing alongside of the plumey carrot foliage. Answers to Questions: Mrs. A. , B., Salem, asks about the care of an African violet Ans.: The African Violets (list ed in our garden encyclopedia as Saintpaufia) need plenty of mois ture, and a warm temperate house. They do not like too much direct sun and will rather fade out if cool breezes strike them. Wattering should really be done from the saucer, as they do not like too much water on their foil age or crown. A good potting mix ture for them consists of 1 part sharp sand, 2 parts loam, 1 part leaf mold or humus; ' part dried cow manure and 1 five-inch flow er pot full of bone mean to each bushel of the mixture. The old African Violet does not do well and new ones should be started each year from the foliage. . Mrs. V. D. A. Salem, sends me a bid of shrub with white blooms which she wants Identified. Ans.: This is a lily-of-the-val-ley-shrub or Andromeda. The former is the common name and the one most people call it It is a very loveiy snruo tne year around, and one that might I be used more often than it is, for it is easy of culture.
