rushed into his arms.

on the cheek, bundled her into
an automobile driven by one of
his brothers and left for an un

There are many ways to keep
cool such as gulping a Tom

make you a
breeze with a
palm leaf.
But the Amer
ican Associa
tion of Nurs-
I I erymen has
a I come un with
10 new ways.
Not only ways
to chill off in
Uirau Niehato
summer but
how to warm up in winter.
The association starts off with
a sort of weather report which
says:
Coldait From North
"In many areas of the coun
try the coldest winds come from
the north, northeast and north
west. In the summer, they usual
ly come from the west, south
west and south."
From there on, the association
report is mostly nursery. About
plants, that is.
You can, it says, "curve plant"
your evergreens and shrubs In
the form of a high fence. Then,
the cold breath of winter from
the north will start around the
house and leave you snug and
warm. Even save fuel, maybe.
"This type of planting," the
association says, "can save a lot
of coal or oil. . . .If the wind
break reduces the wind from 12
to three miles an hour at 32 de
grees, it will take only half the
amount of fuel to heat your
house."
Experiments Conducted
Dr. H. E. Landsberg. the exec
utive director of the committee
on geo-physics and geography of
the U. S. research and develop
ment board, conducted a lot of
experiments on the plant-for-comfort
deal.
He and other scientists found
that the fuel requirement is a
little larger for the combination
of 32 degrees and a 12-mile wind
than it is for zero and a three
mile wind.
In a state experiment station
test of a windbreak, it was learn
ed that fuel cost was reduced by
22.9 per cent.
But what are we talking
about? This is summer, not
blustery cold.
The nurserymen claim that in
the summer, when you want the
breezes from the west if you
plant your shrubbery right, they
will be led unsuspectingly into a
pocket.
Air Mov.i Fast.r
The same amount of air ocm
ing into the wide opening toward
the west will be forced through
the narrow space between the
house and the planting. Thus the
air will move faster and your
house will be cooler.
The nurserymen are little
vague, though, about how an
amateur ought to go about the
business of cooling himself off
by getting all sweaty setting out
shrubbery.
The association advises:
"In areas where conditions dif
fer from the 'above' by observ
ing the direction of prevailing
winds in both summer and win
ter, the same idea can be car
ried out."
Personally, I don't know a pre
vailing wind from a small gust
that works up from out yonder.
Sun at Work
The contention of the plant
men is that there are many ways
to make the sun work for you
and actually make ydu cooler.

The temperature in plants is.
they say, many times cooler than
that, of a pavement in the sun.
Plants, it is claimed, transpire
and the evaporation of the mois
ture rising from them makes the
air cooler.
All of which has me a little
confused.
Boy, fetch me another Tom

Solons Expected Ask
Spy System Shake-up
Washington, July 3 U.R)
The surprise red attack in Ko
rea followed by shocking re
verses is expected to bring con
gressional demands for a shake-
up in our couritsr-spy system.
The surprise followed by a
few days a Tokyo conference
among Gen. Douglas MacArthur,
Secretary of Defense Louis A.
Johnson and some of his high
brass. Something slipped badly
when such men could sit down
so near trouble and not know it.
The known facts indicate our
intelligence failed In the field
where the information was to
be had and here at home where
it should have been studied and
judged for what it was worth.
Our counter-spy organization
terminates at the top in a cen
tral intelligence agency. The sur
prise in Korea revealed the fact
that there is no firm understand
ing about conclusions to be
drawn from espionage reports
once they are assembled by CIA.
