Then, Herb Society Members Demonstrate Making of Vinegar and Potpourris Rogue Vailey Herb society- held the July meeting last week at Arcady gardens, home of Mrs. L. R. Thomas. The morning was : spent in a tour of the green- : house and gardens. Mrs. Thomas showed the herbalists an exten sive collection of pelargonium ; including the species nutmeg, i snow-flake rose, lady Plymouth I skeleton leaf rose, elorinda and the woolly peppermint. i In the gardens were found ; such unusual herbs as the pro- ! trate rosemary, pink flowered i prostrate marjoram, a variegated I garden sage, a pineapple varie-1 ties of lavender and mints as well as many culinary herbs. ! A sack lunch was eaten under ! the trees on the lawn and the i ; hostess served an herb - fruit : punch and cake. During tiie afternoon session ; roll cail response w as with . "something fragrant" and this i included such quaint items as i Spanish incense which is made j in the mountains of Spain by i burning lavender, rock ro.-es and : , rosemary: musk from the musk ; ox. attar of ro.-es. and lemon verbena, native of South Amer ica.

She ; told of its origin, history and 1 use in medieval times and then told of its value in modern times. ! Explaining that potpourri is a j French word which translated J literally means "rotten pot" she ; told of two methods, the dry and the moist. j As potpourri must age or ripen ! before the aroma develops, Mrs. Nagel had prepared jars of var ious herbs, rose petals and fra grant flower mixtures to show the members. She demonstrated a spicy rose potpourri using one quart of dried rose petals, a tablespoon of the fixative, gum benzoin, and a tablespoon salt. Using a mortar and pestle, Mrs. Nagel combined the seeds from two cardamon pods, one-half teaspoon whole cloves and one half teaspoon cinnamon and add ed this to the rose petals. A few strips of dried orange peel and five drops of oil of peppermint were added and all were then packed into a wide-mouth apoth ecary's jar. The product takes about two months, to develop the full fra grance, ihe stated. Three gallons of dried rose petals vv-re given to members by Mrs. Nagel so that they might experiment with various recipes.

Solo Performance Staged for Queen Lee-on-Solent. England vU.R- A Royal Navy drum staged an off-beat rock-and-roll solo performance for Queen Eliza beth Monday. The Queen visited the Fleet Air Arm base here to present her colors to the unit. Row upon row of sailors and Wrens women members of the Navy stood stiffly at attention. The breeze was stiff, too. It set a big bass drum rocking like a big wheel. Finally, it began rolling across the parade ground, pushed by the wind. A petty officer broke ranks and raced after the instrument, but the drum outdistanced him and rolled into the middle of a column of Wrens, where two girls stopped it with their hands. Embarrassed officers figeted uneasily. Sailors standing at at tention fought back grins. But the Queen laughed.
