Its Uppearance, tall, coarse, crowned with a bright yellow flow- or like a dandelion, does not add to the beauty of the landscape,. even before the downy seed heads form in early July, These seed heads, incidentally, are round like the dandelion, only larger, , abut one half the size of a baseball, The seeds, of course, are airborne and parachute down to invade new grassland. In the bud stage, and when the flowers are closed at night, the shape of the head re- sembles a goat's beard, which is the reason for the popular name. Goat's-beard is a perennial, with a single, slender tap root which does not stand cultivation. The plant is filled with thick milky juice not palatable to livestock; so it is not controlled by grazing. In its early stages of growth, before budding, it is vulnerable to 2,4-D, but is not readily discovered at this time; since it resembles coarse grass, However, this is the best time to spray pasture land, not only for goat's-heard, but for a variety of ether weeds which are most susceptible at that time..Cut- tiog is only successful before' !blos- soming and must he repeated. fre- quently, since it grows back and blossoms after repeated mowings. Stray plants should be pulled and destroyed. Blossoms will ripen and spread seed after cutting or pull- ing. Goat's-beard prefers to travel by air, but it is not above hitchhiking on motor vehicles. The downy seeds cling to the sides of wheels and only let go when the vehicle stops down many miles from Architect Frowns On Tall Girls In Flat Shoes Tall 'girls who slouch about the city streets in flats and an in- feriority complex would do well to study a few basic principles of design, according to a well-known architect. He points out -that a baste fact of architecture is that appearances are usually deceiving. Take a look at any public building that has Greek columns and imagine those columns without a base, 'he sug- gests. They would look much taller and certainly less pleasing. That's what happens when a tall girl tries cut doWn her height by wearing flat-heeled shoes all the time. She would do well, instead, to wear heels that are two and one-half inches high. These make her taller certainly, but paradoxically, They make her appear less tall — because she looks more graceful and properly proportioned. So, if you are 5-foot-S oe keep this in mind when buying a new pair of leather pumps or sandals for spring. The new mid- heel — which is 2 'to 21/4 inches high — is perfect for the tall girl. It's high• enough, without being too high, gives the illusion of real- ly high heels through skillful de- signing, aria. is as comfortable as a flat walking shoe., You can have this mid-heel in pumps or sandals in every type of leather you've ever heard of — and a. few that you may not have seen yet,.sech as printed and em- bossed leather, punctdred corkette and reversed calf, But whatever you choose buy shoes that. fit well. The most beautifully designed hods in the world won't 'improve your Appear- ance if they make your feet ache., And it' you want the good fit •to last, be sure that soles as well as uppers are of ,leather, Leather soles' don't spread, thus prevent distortion of the shape of the en- tire shoe. The girl who wants to out her height but still look trim should also carry a fairly large, flat ree- tangular-shaped leather hag. If she isn't too thin, a contour belt of bright-colored leather would also help, Architecture also has lessons for the short, stocky girl, She often teeters around in high heels thinking they make her taller when, actually, they only call at- tention to her lack of stature. The effect is something like put- ting a chrysanthemum in full I 'Moons in a bud vase.
