If there is any more delightful
vegetable -garden scene than a lot
of plump tomatoes turning red on
the vices --well I, for one, have yet
to see it. And to think of great.
gran -ma and great gran pop be-
lieving that those"love apples"
were poisonous, and growing thein
simply as curiosities! What they
missed!

So here are a few delicious re-
cipes that help you make the very
most of those luscious, garden -fresh
tomatoes—although if your folks
are like ninethey don't want me
to bother with "fancy lixin's" so
tar as tomatoes are concerned. Just
the way they come out of the gar-
den is good enough for them. klow-
ever, tastes differ, and I think
you'll find these recipes worth not
only trying, but clipping for future
reference.

When Stanley Found
David Livingstone
The meeting of Stanley and
Livingstone at Ujiji was as unlikely
an occurrence as could have hap-
pened, and, along with many of the
„„„s—s, earlier events in Livingstone's life,
serves to show how wonderfully an
Unseen Hand shaped an guarded
his path. Neither Stanley nor the
gentleman who sent him had any
personal interest in Livingstone.
Mr. Bennett admitted frankly that
he was moved neither by friendship
nor philanthropy, but by regard to
Ids business and interest is a jour-
nalist
These were the very unromantic
notions, with an under -current
probably of better quality, that were
passing through his mind at Paris,
on the 16th of October 1869, when
be sent a telegram to Madrid sum
mooning Henry M. Stanley, one of
the "own correspondents" of his
paper, to "come to Paris on impor-
tant business,"
It is very mysterious that he was
not to go straight to Africa—he was
to visit Constantinople, Palestine,
and Egypt first. Then, from India,
he was to go to Zanzibar; get into
the interior, and find him if alive;

obtain all possible news of his dis-
coveries,
It was not until January 1871
that Stanley reached Zanzibar. To
organize an expedition into the in-
terior was no easy task for one
who had never before set foot in
Africa. To lay al' his plans with-
out divulging his object would,
perhaps, have been more difficult if
it had ever entered into any man's
head to connect the New York Her-.
aId with a search for Livingstone.
But indomitable vigour and per-
severance succeeded, and by the
end of February and beginning of
March, one hundred and ninety
two persons in all lead started in five
caravans at short intervals from
Bagomoio for Lake Tanganyika, two
whitt, men being of the party be-
sides Stanley, with horses, donkeys,
bales, boats, boxes, rifles, etc., to
an amount that made the leader of
the expedition ask himself how such
an enormous weight of material
could ever be carried into the heart
of Africa..
They marched slowly, with ven-
ous adventures and difficulties, until,
by Mr. Stanley's reckoning on the
10th of November but by Living -
stone's earlier), the, were close on
Ujiji. Their approach created an
extraordinary excitement. First one
voice saluted them in English, then
another; these were the salutations

Few flowers are more beautiful
or more admired than the stately
delphinium. Yet there are many
who believe that delphiniums are
hard to grow.
Ths is not the case provided the
garden does not lie too far south.
This perennial does not thrive in
high temperature, and in soil that
becomes too warm; and although
delphinium are grown as far south
as Virginia, down there they are
treated more as annuals. But in
gardens in the general latitude of
New York City—or farther north—
with proper rare they really thrive.
Seed should be obtained from a
reliable source. While there are
many strains of hybrid delphinium
on the market, one of the most
satisfactory—especially here in the
East—is the Pacific Giant. Al-
though delphinium can be sown
in spring, August is the preferred
time, Fresh seed from the current
summer's crop is available then
and gives a much higher percentage
of germination,
* *
If a coldframe is available it is
necessary only to make certain that
the soil is finely worked and con-
tains some humus and sand. Seed
is sown sparingly in drills, six
inches apart, and is covered lightly
with about an eighth of an inch of
fine soil. The seedbed is then
sprinkled with water and the cold -
frame shaded with burlap or slats.
If the bed is not allowed to dry
out, seedlings should appear in ten
to fourteen days. These are thinned
to three or four inches. When the
weather is particularly warns, the
slats are left on to provide some
shade.
:5
If the gardener does not have a
roldframe, the seedbed is made in
the garden and the same procedure
followed. The location should not
be. hot and dry. The young plants
will need little attention until next
spring, except for a mulch of salt
hay or straw after the ground has
frozen. The seedlings will lose most
of their foliage, 0 not all, during
the winter but this is quite normal.
* * *
The following April or early May
the young plants are ready to be
moved to the nursery bed or to their
permanent places in the garden.
Some of them will flower during
the late summer or fall but it will
take another year for them to come
into their own.
On the other hand it is possible
to bring the August seedlings into
bloom the following June—if a
coldframe is used. The secret is not
to let the plants become dormant
their first winter. With the arrival
of cold weather the frame is covers
ed with glass and opened for ven-
tilation only on warns days.
If the frame is not.blanketed with
snow during the coldest days front
December to February, it is cove
erect with hay or straw, The sides
should be banked with dirt, too.
* * *
In late February or early March
(depending somewhat on the
weather) the insulating cover is re-
moved and the glass opened again
on warm days. By mid-April, the
pfants should be well developed.
They can be moved to the border,
where they should produce spikes
of bloom from five to six feet tall.
* * *
l-Iowever, before the seedlings
reach the transplanting stage, their
permanent sites should be made
ready, Delphiniums are not too
fussy about the type of soil, as long
as it is well prepared and has good
drainage. Soil is dug to a depth of
at least eighteen inches and a liberal
amount of humus (well -rotted man-
ure or compost) is incorporated
plus an ample dressing of bone -
meal, By the time the plants are
moved the soil should be settled and
time,
* * *
Young plants are placed eighteen
to twenty-four inches apart in the
border and are usually more effec-
tive if planted in groups of not less
than three. For exhibition bloom,
spacing should be at least three
feet; growing in straight rows as-
sures greater success,
* * *
When shifting delphinium, care
should be taken to move them with
as much earth as possible around
the roots. If they are not disturbed
do the process, the plants will suf-
fer almost no setback, and start
to thrive immediately in their new
location, They are set in their holes
with the crown at ground level and
then firmed gently into the soil
with the feet,
* * *
Young plants of named varieties
are available from most leading
delphinium growers either in spring
or fall. However, for the price of
two or three plants the gardener
can obtain a packet of about 200
seeds which will produce a wide
range of colors. Of course, when
the plants are well established they
can be greatly increased by division
or cuttines.
How Union Nonsense
Wrecked A Plant
One of the most shocking cases
of irresponsible. short-sighted and
stupid union leadership is the strike
of 50 office workers at CIL's Wind-
sor plant.
The plant produces chlorine,
caustic soda, ammonia and salt. The
operation is a continuous process,
Shut down for more than six hours,
the 3,300 cells in the system deteri-
orate and can no longer be trusted
to operate safely.
Unions controlling transport in
and out of the plant agreed to res-
pect the office workers' picket lines.
Because of the dangerous nature
of the operation, the continuogs
process had to be stopped, Now
—regardless of how soon the union
settles—it will cost $250.000 to
$400,000 to rebuild the plant and
it will be about two years before
production can get back to nor-
mal.
All those facts about the gravity
of a stoppage were clearly put to
the .union leadership.
And what was the cause of this
deliberate sabotage?
Nothing but this minor and silly
demand:
The office workers' boss demand-
ed that pay increases be made on
the basis of seniority, not of merit.
What but a weak or upset men-
tality would want to substitute
seniority for merit as the basis of
reward? Who 'with any sense of
personal dignity would want to
work in a place where merit was
unrewarded and where age and
mediocrity took control? CIL is to
be commended for its courage in
defending the rights of its employ-
ees and for refusing to co-operate
in a plot to shackle and degrade
tlt eat.

BCW CAN 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. I-Iow can I make brooms and
mops last longer?
A. Don't let the brooms, brushes,
and mops stand on their straws,
bristles, and strings. Bore a hole
through the handle of each, near
the far end, and insert the ends of
a wire in each end of this hole,
forming a- loop for hanging.
* *
Q. How can I treat scars that
have resulted froth pimples?
A, These scars usually will dis-
appear very soon if they are bathed
with a solution of boracic acid, fol-
lowed by an application of zinc
ointment.

Q. How can I prevent deposit
from gathering on the inside of the
tea kettle?
A, Boil two or three clans shells
in the kettle occasionally.

Q. How can I remedy a tight
shoe that binds at the toe?
A. Wring a cloth out of hot
water, fold it and lay it across the
toe, while the shoe is on the foot.
This will cause the leather to ex-
pand and conform to the shape of
the foot,

Q. How can I freshen stale pret-
zels?
A, Pretzels often lose their crisp-

original crispness, put thein in a
