The famed actress, who once vowed that rock 'n roll wouldn't tet the best of her, amazed a capacity audience as she made her debut here in the flashy at tire. She kicked up her heels and, in an Elvis Presley manner, opened a three-weeks engage ment at the hotel by singing "Look Me Over Closely." - s?

CONFERS WITH DULLES Israeli Amb. Abba Eban ex exhibits a picture he described as an Egyptian gun em placement along the Gulf of Aqaba while waiting at State Department to confer with Secy, of State John Foster Dulles. They discussed the U. S. appeal to Israel to get her troops out of Egyptian territory. Is That So? Hope springs eternal. At any rate, now smack in the middle ot winter, I'm being bombarded with springtime requests: "How do you force apple and cherry blossoms to bloom faster indoors?" And because of my lat summer' pieces on how to keep cut flowers longer, read ers want to know when to cut, how to condition, and keep spnig flowers, including tulips the latter having a postscript: Is th-re any way to keep their buds from opening?" FORCING BLOSSOMS: For best results with apple and cherry blosms, cut or rather prune the branches after the buds begin to swell in late win tfr and early spring. In this, seTect good-sized branches with pleasing curves and angles to suit the arrangement you have in mind. This should be about C6 to 8 weeks before their normal flowering. Cut earlier, and your flowers will not be so good. Split the stems 3 inches or so. Plare them in large contain ers. Cftange your water week ly, and every time you do so, recut the stems, removing an inch or so. Spray with a fine mist of cold water daily, for add ed humidity. Acts the same as rain. Place the branches in a light, fairly, sunny room, but not too sunny. Strong, direct sun dries out buds. As blossoms open, branches may be moved into bright sunlight to intensify the colors. To speed up the process, place stems in hot water, say 100 de grees, F.. once a day, letting the branches remain in it until after the water cools. TULIPS: Cut tulips when the petals are about as long as they will be when the flowers have opened. To protect your bulbs, leave at least two leaves on the stem. The t'St way to condition tulips so they won't droop when arranged, is to wrap your bou quet trie night before in a wet newspaper and place them in a tall straight-sided container of rold water. Have the newspaper folded so it will reach from well into the water up to the heads c.f the flowers. Take care: should the newspaper become dry, it will draw moisture from the flowers. World specialists in tulips, the Dutch, soak their cut tulips in a very weak solution of calcium nitrate two ounces for every five-gallon pailful of water. To prevent tulip buds from opening, dip them into a raw egg white. To keep petals from unfolding ofodropping. drop wax if possible the color of the tulips into the cup where pet als are joined. This, of course, i.i for show purposes. LIL.-XCS: Don't worry about cutting lilacs from established bashes should the flowers go to seed, they draw heavily on the shrubs: hence, careful cut ting insures stronger, more beautiful blooming plants. Cut the flowers when the psnicle is about one-third open. Remove all foliage from the flowering branches at once. Split the woody stems and you AsfSL'MING new post as de- O fense mobilizer, Gordon Gray tells newsmen he sees no hope for early end of big work! UiUCS. (International; By EUGENE BURNS Ringer-Naturalist might even pull away the out er bark for 4 inches from the base of the stem. Condition over night in cold water. Use non flowering branches to arrange with flower stems. A dash of alcohol or a splash of gin in the water helps keep your bou- ; quet fresh. Replace water often. ! PUSSY WILLOWS: Although ! these tend to keep fairly well i without water, buds will drop and flowers will fail to open if kept dry. Cut when less than half ' the branch has reached maturity, j Split stems and condition in cold . water. ! For forcing, bring the willow indoors as soon as buds begin to swell. Incidentally, willow is , easy to massage between thumb i pressing against first and third j fingers to take any desired curve.

Stealer of Chickens Leaves Restitution Lena, 111. (U.R) A conscience- j stricken chicken thief left S30 restitution for oie of his vic tims, asked forgiveness in a note, and promptly disappeared. Mrs. Chris Rambecker was alone in her Pleasant Valley farm when a thief broke into the hen house. Frightened by the I noises, she shot into the dark. ! But the scoundrel got away with several chickens. j Nine months later members of the Lester Brocious home at Lena, where Mrs. Rambecker is employed, heard a car drive in- j to the yard, followed by steps on the front porch. When'no one : rang the bell, they went to the '. door. There was a large envelope on the floor, addressed to Mrs. Ram becker. Inside on a penny post card was this message: "Sorry. I am the party that took your chickens last March. I did not know you were a widow. I took 10 chickens and my partner in crime you shot him thru the left leg. Leg was taken off. My conscience are clear now. Forgive me, sorry." Authorities here have no record of a person being wound ed on that date or a leg being removed near that date.
