Selecting Garden Flowers
A MONO the easiest flowers to
** grow are nasturtium, ulyssum
and California poppy. Try them
i! you have not had much flower*
growing experience.
If you wai.i u.iniant color in
your garden with a minimum of
effort, grow petunia and zinnia.
They require n bit of care early
in the season, but when estab-
lished they grow luxuriantly, and
nothing provides more color. Use
portulaca for colorful edging along
walks or drives.
Quick blooming flowers, accord-
ing to Gilbert Bentley, flower ex-
pert, are the nasturtium, Virginia
stock, zinnia, sunflower, bache-
lor's button and alyssum.
For a window box, petunia, nas-
turtium, lobelia, ageratum, pansy,
annual phlox and verbena are ef-
fective.
Even though you may have ex-
perienced trouble with wilt and
rust ruining asters and snapdrag-
ons, you still may grow those
flowers. There are rust-resistant
strains of snapdragon and wilt-
resistant strains of aster.

This twisted mass ef steel girders among mountainous blocks of lee Is all that remains of the «•-year-old
Palla View International bridge which collapsed Into the Ice-Oiled gorge below Niagara falla after resisting
an lee Jam for U hoars. This view of the famed "honeymoon bridge" waa made from the American side. The
noise of the crash of the 4,IM,M*-pound structure blotted oat for a moment the roar of Niagara falls, 5M
yarda upetream. Thousands of spectators watched as the girders buckled. Workmen who had been aeat Into
the gorge to strengthen the bridge's supports narrowly eeeaped death when the craab came.

Sonj.i expresses her gratitude for

When Jack Benny first started
talking about that rattletrap old car
on his radio program, it was just
Uie figment of a script writer's
imagination. By the time tadio au-
diences developed a hilarious at-
tachment for his wheezy old motor,
Jack began to wish that he really
had one, so he and Mary Living-
stone made the rounds of used-car
lots and found just the car oí their
dreams. It is a 1021 model and cost
thirty-five dollars.
That long-promised return of
Gloria 8wanaon to the screen Is
postponed indefinitely again. Colum-
bia pictures, which had planned to
have her play the lead In "Holi-
day," have decided instead to give
the leading role to Katherine Hep-
burn. Joan Bennett and Cary Grant
will be featured with her, ao it prom-
ises to be one of those knockout
pictures that Columbia turns out
with unfailing regularity whenever
they borrow ranking ataro from
other atudloo.

Radio stars are much more
thrifty than the early motion-picture
stars. Most of them invest their
earnings in businesses that are not
so dependent on youth and enter-
tainment whims of the public. Jack
Fulton, tenor of "Poetic Melodies,"
has bought a half-interest in a Fifth
avenue haberdashery. Ethel Owen
of Edgar Guest's "It Can Be Done'
program, owns a dog and cat hos
pital in Milwaukee and is presi
dent of a dog biscuit company. Tru
man Bradley, commentator on the
Sunday evening hour, is president
of a cosmetic firm.
Three young men whose youthful
ambitions were strictly serious have
become radio's great comic trio
Lanny Ross and Charles Butter
worth studied law, and Walter O'-
Keefe started out as a newspaper
man. It was Walter's adaptation
and revival of "The Man on the
Flying Trapeze" that flung him into
night club entertaining and from
there to radio.

way toward making your
days brighter and your burdens
lighter when the bustling, busy
days of Spring roll 'round. No

your sewing kit, and fortunate in-
deed are the early birds who have

Practical House Coat.
There is a versatility to this
clever pattern which makes it a
prime favorite for the style con-
scious and the thrifty. Designed
in two lengths, it lends itself per-
fectly to either of two needs—as
an apron frock iri gingham or
seersucker for busy days around
the house, or as a full length beach
or sports coat in chintz or linen
crash. The princess lines are
smooth and flattering and there
are just seven pieces to the pat-
tern—a cinch to make and a joy
to wear.
Slimming Silhouette.
This handsome frock in linen or
crepe does wonders for the full
figure, sloughing off pounds here
and bulges there with the utmost
ease. Streamlined from the shoul-
ders and buttoned at the waist
with two graceful scallops, this is
the sort of frock which answers
your need perfectly for almost
any social or shopping excursion,
a standby to see you through the
Summer. There is a choice of
long or short sleeves and the sim-
plicity of the design—jost
pieces in all—insures
even for the inexperienced 1ft
home sewing. ,
Attractive Apron.
"Swell" isn't a word the teaidk-
er recommends but it is highly
appropriate in describing thto
handy apron frock which
about the business of being
honest-to-goodness apron, not juot
a postage stamp model to
for effect. Appealing in
easy to wear, extremely
able, with two convenient pocketat
this perfectly swell apron wee de-
signed by a busy housewife wte
knew her oats! Six pieces to the
pattern.

Caiotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Cold
Millions have found in Caiotabs
a most valuable aid in the treat-
ment of colds. They take one or
two tablets the first night and re-
peat the third or fourth night if
needed.
How do Caiotabs help nature
throw off a cold? First, Caiotabs
are one of the most thorough and
dependable of all intestinal elimi-
nants, thus cleansing the intestinal
tract of the virus-laden mucus and
toxins. Second, Caiotabs enr
diuretic to the kidneys, promoting
the elimination of cold poisons
from the blood. Thus Caiotabs
serve the double purpose of m
purgative and diuretic, both off
which are needed in the treatment
of colds.
Caiotabs are quite economical:
only twenty-five cents for the
family package, ten cents for the
trial package.—(adv.)
