r$ MKTroHO '08ES0K1 MAIL TPIBUNK Wednesday, June S. 1937 All Gardeners Should Know Smart New Duo! Salpiglossis and Scabiosa j tr Cna Kisg MaiTill I wonder why it is that some flowers of exceptional merit re'. er seem to a-.hicve the pop ularity that they rightly deserve I feel confident that in most rases if these varieties were trird by more flower gardeners thir popularity would soon ereatly increase Here are a few of these varieties that de;ere a spot in the limelight. ! Th little pompon ter. groev-; in? ground 12 inches tall, is a variety that should be much more often used by flower gard eners. ItJ small button like flow ers measuring from an inch to one and one-half inches across are prd iced in profusion on the upright growing plants. The flowers are especially desireole for small bouquets, since they; keep from ten das to two Heels after being cut. A planting neir; the garage would enable the men in your Vmily 1.0 have flow-; ers in their buttonholes that; would last all day i While asters in general are quite popular, it seems that the I rainbow strain of single ateri deserves much more popularity than it nas ever received. The single daisylike flowers measur-j ing 2', i to 3 inches across are! found in lovely shales of aalmon, pink, rose, lavender, purple, blue and red. The colors in general are much richer than those ' found in the ordinary strains of asters Here too. the variety ia unexcelled among asters for cut ting because of the long atem and unusual keeping qualities. If a flower gardener once plants this lovely variety. I feel certain that he w ill continue to do so. j Crown Tram Seed J Most everyone thinks of dan-1 lias as being a variety that mustj be grown from tuljers. Perhaps! Ihat w?v aii f a M arm arown ' from seed. However, the drf bedding types of Dahlias, grow ing about 18 inches tail, and pro ducing both Sing e and double flowers, are a easy to grow from seed as Zinnias A packet of seed which mill produce dor ens of plants generally sells for much less than the price of a single Dahlia tuber. There are some people who avoid grow ing .Dahlias, because of tha neces sity, in the colder parts of the! country, to dig up trie tubers and store them over winter. Of cour. all of this trouble can he elimina'ea by growing dahlias from tttA Sa'piglsri sounds much more like a 0;eaa than tre truly I ba-itifil flower that it is. Per-1 haee !f It had a more attrsctive lame, it would be able to ach ieve a popularity that it so right ly ri'.r es. There are no colors in flowers just like tho.se found in saipiclossis The deep rich colors, which are so rare in the floral world, are enhanced by veins of gold in many of the flowers. Another flower that seems to be handicapped by its name is scabiosa In this ca.-e its com mon name. Mourning Bride, cer tainly does nothing at all to enhance it popularity. Nothing could be sadder than a .Mourn ing Bride. If the people who are responsible for trying to give popular names to flowers had selected something like Merry Widow, rather than Mourning Bride, this fine flower might have become a favorite. The long stems of this variety make it most desirable for cutting, and, of course, continued cutting keeps the plant producing addi tional flowers. This variety will continue to bloom until hard frosts kill it. The flowers range from a pure white to near black. If you have not already grown these varieties, and the chances are you have not, by all means try them.

High School Yo Spend Large Su New York High school ' youngsters earn a lot of money four billion dollars a year, ac- cording to one account. In some cases they really have to. be cause very often teenage ex penses are big. and an allowance , may be too smal to cover them. ' The latest evidence of the size of teenage expenditures comes j from a study cited by the In stitute of Life Insurance of more j than a thousand boys and girls. , seniors in over a score of high schools in seven southern states. ; Take for example the amount of money seniors spent on dates. More than two-thirds of the boys who reported their expenses said they spent over S50 on dates dur ing the school year. Many spent j nearly S200 and some even more j a year. I While boys were more likely to pay for their dates than girls, there were indications that some young couples went "Dutch treat." Girls reported that they spent various amounts on dates, although relatively few said that these social events cost them more than S50 during the school season. Harold H Punke. professor of education at Alabama Polytech nic institute, who conducted the new survey of seniors' spending, commented that cash may not be the only factor in successful dat ing, but in many communities it is quite important. A boy whose economic resources are small is likely to find this a social handi cap while in his senior year. Suggestions Made Prof. Punke, w h o described the survey in the Bulletin of the National Association of Secondary-School Principals, sug gests that schools can do something about it: "Schools can help aleviate soc ial discriminations which may grow out of dating expense, by providing a fairly wide range of inexpensive school entertain ments which afford dating op portunities, and by helping the first Strapless Bra that stays up all clay long ...in mum.

Entertainment of ! groups of youths in homes might I offer considerable possibilities " j There are not many events I that can generate such enthusi- asm as high school students at a ! friendly athletic match. Nearly three-quarters of the seniors said 1 they spent less than S6 a year to : attend sports spectacles. Girls spent almost as much as boys to watch baseball, football, and other games. The seniors spent small sums for school plays. On the other ! hand, they spent considerably ! more on school parties, aside i from such special events as I proms and class banquets. , Spend on Drirti ! When it came to expenditures i for philanthropy - schools often have drives for the Red Cross, the March of Dimes or for "school benefits" many stu dents contributed, although their gifts tended to be small, perhaps 75 cents or less. In some in stances students who lived on farms gave more for philanth ropy than town students. In other respects, however, many farm boys and girls spent less for dates, athletics and en tertainment than town seniors. Speculating on the reasons for this difference, it is possible that young farm people have trans portation problems; or that their allowances are small b e c a use farm families have less cash in come than city folks; or it may be that there are fewer opportun ities for farm youngsters to work the usual part-time jobs after school or on weekends. Farm children often earn money through 4-H projects, but this money may be received at long intervals, and is often put aside for special goals, such as college.

A University of Illinois safety specialist, O. L. Hogsett. says that these handy scatter rugs can turn into the worst kind of hazard if not properly used. There are even some places in the home where throw rugs should not be used at all for instance, on stair landings and at the head and foot of the stairs.
