LAWN SEEDING TIME
More and more generally it is be-
coming recognized that the late
summer -August 15 to September
15 -is the best time for seeding
lawns. The grass grows vigorously
until hard freezing weather, and
such annual weeds as may start
are killed off by the first frosts.
Even better results are obtained
.when the area to be planted can
be prepared a few weeks in ad-
vance. This gives the soil a chance
to settle under heavy rains, so that
any uneven places may be regraded
just before sowing. It also pro-
vides a chance for any weed seeds
in the soil to sprout. These are
easily destroyed when the ground
receives a final preparation for
sowing the grass, which then can
get off to a clean start, with the
minimum competition from weeds.
If lime is to be added to the soil,
it can also be put in now; this is
preferable to applying it just be-
fore the grass seed is sown.
SPINACH AND CABBAGE
The home owner with a veget-
able garden looks to early August
as the time to sow spinach for a
within a month or so. Most im-'
portant, however, is the sowing of
Chinese cabbage which usually
fails to head if sown in spring.
Sow the cabbage seeds thinly in
the row where they will grow, be-
cause they resent transplanting.
Thin the seedlings when they be-
gin to crowd one another, until the
plants stand fifteen inches apart.
They will make solid heads by late
autumn and add to the menu a
delicacy that has a flavor more
mild and pleasant than ordinary
cabbage. It also makes delicious
slaw and the leaves may be eaten
raw like celery or lettuce.
Johnny Jump -Ups
Johnny jump -ups, as the old-
fashioned small -flowered violas of
great-grandmother's garden were
appropriately called, have jumped
back into popular favor. Like so
many other really satisfactory gar-
den flowers, they were sacrificed on
the altar of "big" flower worship.
It is of interest, too, that the old-
fashioned small -flowered pansies
are again sought. One carefully
selected strain, put out under the
name of "Shakespeare's," is the
true old-fashioned type.
Sawed With Sock
Cotton socks are being issued
to prisoners in United States
jails, because one prisoner man-
aged to saw through a one -inch
iron bar with a yarn from a wool
sock. It took him 7 hours to do it.
Although England has fewer
brewers than just before the
World War their total profits have
risen Froin less than :$5.,0.00,000 in
1013 to $142,500,000 in 1937.
To M ke Glass,
Sand Is Needed
Heat Causes It To Run Into A
Transparent Glaze -How
Glass Was Discovered
Well may we speak of the shift
ing sands, says a writer in the
Children's Newspaper, for year by
year the contours of the sand.y,des-
erts change. the Canary Is-
lands are huge heaps of sand piled
up by winds that have blown from
the Sahara, and in Syria and Per-
sia and Arabia the sands are for
ever drifting over the ruins of anci-
ent cities. These hills and valleys
are never still, and when a hurri-
cane springs up and the sand flies
before the storm men bury their
heads and crouch clown with fear
and trembling.
43ut sand is useful. Without it
we should be at a loss to know
how to build our houses, and but
for sand we might have no glass.
Though experts are not sure where
glass -making began it is believed to
have been in Egypt or Syria, both
countries having abundant sand.
It is possible that glass was ac-
cidentally discovered by Phoenici-
an merchants who did their cook-
ing in the sand and found that
heat caused.it to run into a trans -
parent glaze, From that time to
this sand has always been largely
used in the manufacture of glass,
Sand has long been used for
measuring time, We still have egg -
boilers with their little lot of sand,
and in the days before clocks were
cheap the sand -glass, or hour -glass,
Alas 'always at hand,
Ancient Origin
Of "Honeymoon"
Among the northern nations of
Europe, in ancient times, it was
the custom for newly married
couples to drink metheglin or
mead (a kind of wine made from
money) for thirty days after
marriage. Antiquarian lore has
it that from this custom the term
"honey month," or "honeymoon"
originated, says The Rocky Moun-
tain Herald. Whether or not that
is the origin of the word, it is
known that in the days of max-
riage by capture the bridegroom
remained in hiding with his bride
until her kinsmen tired of the
search for her.
Later, when love entered mar-
riage and elopements were fre-
quent, the bride and bridegroom
remained in hiding for a while.
Both of these "hiding periods"
seem to point to possible origins
of the honeymoon trip.
Swallows Say It'll Be A Tough Winter
It's a long, tough winter we're heading for if swallows are to be
trusted as meteorological prognosticators. When the swallows head for
the south and warmer climates this early in the year weather prophets
have no hesitancy in predicting an early and severe winter. Already well
on their way south this flock of swallows is creating a design against
the sky on the telephone wires in North Carolina.
What Science
Is Doing
What Science
* *
Variable Freezing Point
.A scientist last week described
water as a strange chemical com-
bination which can stay liquid at
temperatures far below its freez-
ing point or freeze at tempera-
tures several degrees above.
Dr. Ernest Dorsey of the Unit-
ed States Bureau of Standards
said he has cooled water to six
degrees below zero without having ,
it turn into ice. This is 38 degrees
below its "standard" freezing
point.
Other investigators have found,
he added, that under some air
conditions ice forms on the wings
of an airplane in flight even
though the temperature is several
degrees above freezing.
Successful Respirator Mask
A new type of respirator mask,
tried out in planes flying in the
sub -stratosphere, may some day
serve as a substitute for oxygen
tents now used in hospitals.
Dropping out of the sky after
a non-stop flight at Minneapolis
last week with scientific data on
oxygen mask equipment expected
to make an important contribution
to medical science.
For seven hours and 40 minutes
the large transport plane of
Northwest Airlines has flown frons
Los Angeles and approximately
one third of the time at an alti-
tude of 31,000 feet in order to
give the crew time to test the new
masks.
Deadly Germ Photographed
Bringing with him what he
described as the only photographs
ever made of the dread strepto-
coccus germ, Dr. Herbert Rogers,
resident pathologist of the North
Middlesex Hospital of London,
England, arrived on this continent
last week to confer with Harvard
medical authorities. Dr. Rogers
said he discovered the game ac-
cidentally • four months ago while
examining the blood of a 30 -year-
old woman patient. Although the
germs were known to enter the
blood stream of victims, he assert-
ed, they very seldom have been
located.
Measure Cosmic Rays
l
Maybe a cosmic ray doesn't
mean much to you. Maybe you
don't even know what it is, But
over in Philadelphia, scientists
are striving to fathom its myster-
ies.
Members of the Bartel Research
Foundation have built a cylindrical
ixon tank, over 40 ft. high, and
10 ft. in diameter, to be used as a
laboratory for experimental pur-
poses.
The bottom of the tank will be
specially shielded from wireless
waves -which disturb the cosmic
ray -and the top of it will be
filled with water, through which
the cosmic rays will pass and be
measured.
Polio and Summer Flu
It is possible that there is some
relationship between summer flu
and infantile paralysis, Dr. B. T.
McGhie, Deputy Minister of
Health for Ontario, remarked last
week. It appeared probable that
many people might have the or-
ganism, yet not develop any ap-
pearance of paralysis, he said.
New Nitrogen Form
There is a mysterious light in
the night sky, which does not
come from the moon or stars. Dr•
Joseph M. Kaplan, associate pro-
fessor of physics, University of
California, at Los Angeles, has
been investigating this radiation
and his studies have led to the
discovery of a new form of nitro-
gen.
He secured pictures of its spec-
trum which indicated the light
came from electrically excited
gases in the outer region of the
atmosphere, but there were some
lines in the spectrum that did not
belong to known gases. Calcula-
tions demonstrated that the lines
photographed corresponded with
those produced by nitrogen in
atomic form. The known nitro-
gen is a molecule made up of two
nitrogen atoms. In the new form
the nitrogen are single atoms.

"PRAY FOR THE WANDERER'
By Kate O'Brien
The soft, warm charm of the
Irish countryside is evoked as a
convincing background for this
tale of the Costello family who
live at Weir House in the Vale of
Honey.
The action of the story is en-
tirely in the minds and hearts of
three people. Matt Costello comes
back after many years in London,
after winning fame and riches as
novelist and playwright, after the
raptures of a passionate love af-
fair -and after its end. A month
of meetings with the cool, lovely,
intelligent Nell Mahoney brings
g
s
him the sudden hope of new life.
What happens when he grasps at
the hope, it is Miss O'Brieti'a pre-
rogative to tell. The swift de-
nouement is surprising.

Set Me a Task
Set me a task, that I may work to
gain an inch of ground
Along the path of progress, where
the joys of life are found.
Set me a task, that I may grow in
strength of lessons learned;
In pride and -meekness let me be
with clearer sight concerned.
Set me a task, that I may give
what has been given to me,
And know that greatest works are
done out of humility.

Recently there was a Negro
baptizing in South Carolina. Af-
ter one of the converts had been
immersed he was asked if the wat-
er was cold. "No, not a bit," said
he. "Better put him under again,
parson," advised a deacon, "he
hasn't quit lying yet."

Second -"When your closing

A chairman is a man who spends
21 minutes and 16 seconds intro-
ducing a man "who needs no in-
troduction."
Every one of us has a besetting
sin.
One of us is lazy.
Another is too found of liquor.
A third had rather starve than
grasp unpleasant tasks.
Again you see a man or woman
who gets nowhere because of ob-
session always to do or to say the
wrong thing. Occasionally he flies
off the handle into senseless an-
ger and undoes more than he ever
can do.
Finally, a lot of us, who think
we are paragons, kill ourselves
eating.
Anyhow, it set the boy to think-
ing.

Young Man (standing by the
fireside, losing no time in reply-
ing) -"Yes, sir. I could -but I
wouldn't."
Big Business Man -"Good! Cer-
tainly, you' shall marry my Clarke.
I'd trust her with any man who
showed a spirit like that.

Science Should
Point Way to
AC;earn Life
Creation of a board of scientists
and philosophers empowered to
give or refuse permits for inven-
tions likely to affect human life
was proposed by Prof. C. E. M.
Joad, head of the Department of
Philosophy and Psychology in Bir-
beck College, University of London,
at a teachers' summer school meet-
ing in London, England.
"Science has given us powers fit
for gods, yet we bring to their use
the mentality of schoolboys and
savages," he said. "The symbol of
this is the airplane. The greatest
of man's inventions which never-
theless threatens his civilization
with destruction,
"The superman made the air-
plane but the ape has got hold of
it.
Civilization Threatened
"To step on foot throttles, insert
coins into metal slots, scan head.
lines, crowd through clicking turn-
stiles, turn on the radio, hurl our,
selves over the surface of the earth
in a mechanism propelled by gaso•
line -these constitute the modern
motion of entertainment.
"Men of genius by the dozen,
men of talent by the hundred la-
bored in order that the radio might
be. A miracle was performed, but
with what result?
"Science, in short, has provided
in abundance the means to the
good life, but it has not taught us
how to live."

Seaweed Wrapping
Latest wonder from the labora-
tory is an entirely new transpar-
ent wrapping material made from
seaweed. Chemists found that
certain species of the weed when
boiled set like a jelly. They ex-
primented further, and found that
this jelly could be turned into
thin, tough sheets.
The secret is alginic acid - a
substance half way between a sug-
ar and a fat. Being an add it re-
acts on metals, and so it can be
made to produce a variety of nat-
ural colors from metallic salts.
Greatest advantage of the new
material is that it is soluble in
water.
