The main thing is to keep the roots away from the air and to cover quickly and firmly with fine moist eon, Watering during and immediately after transplanting is essential, unless the soil is very moist. .Also if possible, supply a little shade for the first few lours or a day or two. With big things like trees and shrub• bery, it is advisable to tie trunks or main stem firmly to a stake to prevent the wind loosening. If there are only a few things to move, one should do the job in the evening and preferably when there is no wind. Above all it is most important to cover the roots'well and keep the soil firm- ly pressed around thein. To speed growth and lessen the shock of moving it is a good plan to sprinkle a little chemical fertilizer around but notetu- ally touching the roots. Spread Out One very common mistake of the beginner, is to plant all seed on a single afternoon and just as soon as the first fine days start. This is risky and foolish. It is risky becaue a later sharp frost may ruin all tender growth. It is foolish because if it escapes frost all the flowers will come out early or the vegetables will all be ready at the same trine. With the- latter especially it is advisable to spread sowings, so that the harvest may be spread out also. Experienced , garden- ers make a regular practice of planting such things as carrots, beets, lettuce, beans, spinach, radish, etc., at least three times about two to three weeks apart. 'l'o further spread the harvest, they will also use early, medium and late varieties. in Canada as In Europe, there is no good reason why the vegetable garden ehouid not yield continually from early summer until late e fad And the sane goes for most annual flowers, too, New Look - Berlin's new look in men's clothing means that the German male will get more at- tention if they start wearing this suit. Called the "House Suit," it has a loose -fitting yel- low cord -velvet shirt and three- 4>juarter length poplin trousers In black and gray broad stripes. Glorify Leftover Chicken in Curry Casserole BY DOROTHY MADDOX TENl?ER hunks of young (thicken left over from yesterday cap reappear glorified In this unusually good dish.

Note; In addition to extra nutrition the nonfat dry milk also makes omelets fluffier, the home economists report. Finer the Better There is nothing the average seed likes better than a bed of finely worked soil. Of course moisture and fertility will be necessary, too, but it is almost impossible to over -emphasize the importance of having the soil fine. Especially is this so when seed to be sown is tiny like that of lettuce, carrots, alyssum or portulaca. If the seed bed is coarse and lumpy it will be lin- possible to keep out air and either the seeds will not germ- inate at all or they are liable to produce only weak plants. It will pay well to run rake or cultivator through a few extra times. Just to ,,,inake sure of a fine seed bed for vegetables like car- rots and lettuce and particular- ly where the land is heavy, many gardeners scoop out a shallow trench along the row and gill in with some specially prepared fine loan or humas, The improvement in germina- tion, where this extra precaution is taken, Will be astonishing. Power Saves Labour - Where one has more than the average sized lot, a g 'den tract- or and a power lawn mower will - save a lot of time and hard work. These. machines are not expen- sive and, given a minimum of care, they will last' for many years, They will do the work at least five times faster than by hand, It is a mistake to pur- chase too large equipment, espec- ially in tractors. The smaller types are much more easily handled. Experienced gardeners also advise buying more and smaller power units, rather than a big tractor with a lot of at- tachments. Dead Whale Causes Trouble A -plenty "A whale of a problem" re- cently faced the police chief of Roanne, in Central France. He received an order from head- quarters: "Arrest and h o 1 el Jonah." Jonah is a 50 -ton whale that has been dead for at least 14 months. But it brings in $3000 a week to its owners as a trav- elling sideshow. In Paris huge crowds used to Hock to see the great mammal. Elsewhere, they are still flocking to see Jonah. When Jonah was first landed in Norway, he had more than 1,500 gallons of formaldehyde pumped into him. This was, however, not enough to prevent him from "going off." Now, .with refrigerating mach- ines installed in his belly, Jonah is one of the best preserved whales. But he must still have daily injections of preservatives. Two of the men exhibiting him quarrelled and -.went to court about which of them really own- ed Jonah, with the result that the magistrate at Clermont Fele rand ordered "Jonah's seizl,)re. Hence the police chief's dilemma. The police station at Reanne has 110 cell big enough to hold Jonah, and the chief would be unable to give him his daily dose of preservative. Now the court usher is said to be travel- ling the district with Jonah, till its ownership is decided, - CROSSWORD ! PUZZLE 1 ACrtOSS 2. Piece of ground 3. Rising tbrcatentngly 4. Ancient slaved s.

Too Bashful To Attend Own Wedding Everything was in readiness for the smart young soldier's wed- ding to his lovely little fiancee. In the flower -decked church were gathered members of both families and friends. "How attractive she looksi" murmured some as the bride en- tered the church, punctual to the minute, There was the usual hush of expectancy. The minutes passed. There were whisperings - whisperings which grew louder as it began to look as though the bridegroom was not coming. Where was he? Was he ill? Had he changed his mind? Then a messenger brought the news that the bridegroom had vanished from his Midlands ho- tel about forty minutes, before the ceremony was due to start. For more than an hour the worried bride, near to tears, waited for the missing groom, He diel not come, The wedding and reception were cancelled. What was the reason for that young map's non-attendance at his wedding only a few weeks ago? Shyness -yes, plain shy- ness! "I was just bashful,' he said later, "So I didn't turn up." • Overcoming his bashfulness, he went along and saw his puzzled and disappointed sweethealrf next day. Together they walked in their local lovers' 1an1e, and soon the bashful bridegroom was dis- cussing a new date for the wed- ding. It was, of course, no isolated case of wedding "nerves," Many a young man's courage has fail- ed him at the last moment -- even when he's got as far as the church door - and he's turned tail and bolted rather than face the responsibilities of married life. Often, it's merely the idea of going through the wedding ceremony as the object of all eyes -that makes a prospective groom's nerve fail him al the eleventh hour. Shy folk do the queerest things because of the self-consciousness which constantly afflicts them. A. titled woman, whom 110 one suspected of being at all sensi- tive, caused a sensation on the day she was due to launch a new steamer In the north of England.

All these people watching me make me nervous and I'm quite overcome with shy- ness, I can't launch the ship."

Shyness led to a Southend clerk committing suicide. Before putting his head in a gas oven, he wrote to his sister: "I can't stick this shyness any longer. I have always been lone- ly right from a kid ... It is my own fault for being shy. "That is why I never nad a girl. I could never get to know one because of my shyness. The evenings I have ggne out have all been camouflage. "Not once a month have 1 ever spoken to anyone. If I meet a strange man or a strange wo- man, my brain ceases to function and I can hardly utter a sound. I just cannot think of anything to say so I sit and smile inanely and everybody says 'How quiet you are.' " The shy man's letter conclud- ed: "I've always longed for a wife and a home, but I shalt nev- er get one if 1 live' to be a hun- dred -I'm too shy. For a man to get to my age (37) and say that he had never taken a girl out, means that he never will," So extraordinarily shy was Lord Lyons, British Ambassador to France in the 1870's that he never dared to look any of his footmen in the face. He usually dined alone and he used to remember his footmen's names by memorizing the con- tours of the calves of their legs! The philosopher, Henry Caven- dish, was at time almost para- lyzed by shyness. His housekeep- er had to receive his orders by notes which he deposited on the hall table.
