This is a good time to take walks along the borders to see how to improve them another year. If they are crowded — as they probably are ---- decide what plants can be moved or given away, Well-cared-for bare soil between the plants gives them room to grow, helps control mildew, and is neat and attrac- time. A mulch of peat moss is used by many experienced gardeners around plants and shrubs, and besides retaining moisture keeps clown weeds, Loci* over your shade trees. Any dead wood should be pruned out at this time, and also crowded or interfering branches, The cut should be made close to the junction. Small cuts can, be painted with shellac or grafting wax. Larger cut surfaces should be coated with pruning paint. The stiff conifers like cedars and spruces ought not to be shaped by pruning. Pines are pruned by pinching out the lead- ing candles. Yews can be shap- ed, and cutting the top of an arborvitae will help it widen out. The secret of good prunieg is freeing the tree or shrub for more symmetrical and natural growth. Pruning is not for the purpose of making a tree or shrub smaller than it wants to be at maturity. Someone has said that the best pruning is the kind that can never be detected at all. For those who enjoy corn on the cob August is the shortest month of the summer season. IT SPIED HER — "Eeeek," was all, that Angela Touhey said when she met a toy spider on a sidewalk. Then, she jumped so high that it appeared as though she might .end up in orbit. Mickey Mantle Caught Off Base Mickey Mantle had one of his rare bad dayS recently. The New York Yankee power-hitter failed to hit a home run in four trips to the plate, and he was caught off base by the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC said that Mantle, who earns up to $59,000 annually in preduct endorceMents, had al- lowed the Mid-West Creamery Co. of Ponca City, Okla., to ad- vertise that it told "Mickey Mantle's favorite milk" when, in fact, he neither drank leer pre- ferted it. Mantle• quickly agreed that the endorsement should be dropped. Explaining that Mantle didn't even know About the Pon- ce City endorsement, his agent Said the deal had been arranged with a dairy association which in turn had farmed out the right to use Mantle's, name, ft was the first tithe in dry that a 'celebrity had beeri celled upon to prove that he real- ly meant what he Said iti ail exi- dersentent, but it may riot be the last, The FTC Made it Clear that while it has no intention of ask ing famous people a lot of eiriL betraesing questions, , it will take aetitin on any complaints: That's how Mantle got. into trouble. One 'of Mid-West Create- cry's competitors complained that Mantle COUldn't be drinking its riVat'S lcadallY distributed Milk bedatite ilonca.

Yes, in an insurance policy taken out in London recently, the "third par- ty" insured against harm were the trout living in two rivers near Burwaih, Sussex, because it was feared they might be in- jured by the chemicals used dur- ing the "de-scaling" of a pipe- line between the rivers and 'the reservoir. Animals occasionally figure in insurance policies. One taken out in California insured the life of a cow named Brown Eyes, which appeared in a series of comedy,. films, for $100,000. Be- fore.appearing on the screen the animal was worth only $100. A firm which once used tor- toises to publicize a patent food took out a novel policy. The tor- toises had letters painted' on their shells and when placed in proper- order formed the name „of the food. The policy insured against the tortoises moving in such a way as to enable customers to discov- er the name of the food and the firm Offered a prize to the firet person giving the correct word, An elephant named Nellie which was used in Brazil to ad- vertise an insecticide was insur- ed for $7,500 "against injury front a third person while on parade."

APplY DIRECTOR 'OF NURSING TORONTO HOSPITAL They work alone, or at most in gangs of three or four, and alway's by night, Their favorite spots are the small ponds and Marshy streams that fleck the rich pasture lands of southern Louisiana, below New Orleans. The water makes it easier for them to hide the evidence of the kill. In clumps of woods, they wait until a solitary cow sloshes, into the shallows, Then a rifle is raised and a single shot fired, aimed from close range at the back of the animal's head. Swift- ly, one or more figures close in on the fallen cow, slit its throat, and get to work r emoving haunches of beef. Then it's off to a pickup truck parked nearby and disappearance into the dark. That's the way southern Lon- isiana's modern cattle rustlers work — and the frequency with which they strike has come to pose a major problem for cattle growers, small farmers, and law enforcement authorities in the five parishes of the New Orleans area, At least 200 head of cattle have fallen to the rustlers in the past year, according to the Southeast- ern Cattlemen's Association, and. Jefferson'Pariih Deputy Sheriff Alex Cottrouleau thinks the ac- tual number is Considerably high- er. "You can bet your boots the figure is over 1,000," the deputy said recently, "and I'm conserva- tive at that." 'Plumb Scared': Tilting his 10- gallon hat, fingering the bone- handled butt of .his six-shooter, Courouleau — locally known as the rustlers' nemesis —' went on: "If only the public would coop- erate, we could break it up in nothing flat But the average guy who sees something stispi- cious like a man packing hind- quarters into a pickup truck on a lonely road at night turns his head and goes into his shell like a turtle. He's plumb scared to' say anything." Courouleau, and other law of- ficers, are hopeful that the re- wards posted recently by the cattlemen's group—decided upon at a mass meeting at the Cow- town Saloon in the town of Ara- bi — will increase the present trickle of information the law- men get to a flow. "Maybe the expectation of reward will over- come their fright," said Courou- leau. "It's too early to tell." What sets the Louisiana rust- lers apart from small-time crim- inals in other parts of the coun- try is that apparently they are strictly amateurs. Judging by the few who have been caught, they are outwardly respectable citizens otf small communities near New Orleans who work at ordinary jobs by day and turn into marauders by night. Why? Just for kicks, the law officers think, and perhaps 'to impress their families with their re- sourcefulness. Rarely do they try to sell their plunder; they pack It into their own deep freezers. Mexico are not so innocent. Newspapers report with fright- ening regularity the activities of juvenile gangs captained by "chiefs" no more than ten or twelve. These short-pants hoodlums with adult ideas have been known to waylay drunks, and even sober citizens, in dark alleys. In one case where a worker was approached and told it was a stick-up he laughed it off, thinking it some sort of youth- ful prank. The youthful prank resulted in a fatal knife wound delivered by a ten-year-old. The haul — about 750! Other juvenile delinquents are expert at stealing and dismantl- ing cars; at picking pockets or ; whisking off with a woman's handbag; and even do a brisk trade in selling marihuana and other drugs. And on the lowest rung, and disdained by the "professionals" are the tots, who offer tourists not only "naughty" pictures but in-the-flesh-versions. FOR SALE MISCELLANEOUS SHOTSHELLS $2.03 box.

In our eagerness to raise all the differ- ent plants we like we are. often tempted to pack them into our flower borders, mass shrubs close together, and give our trees too little room to grow into nat- ural shapes. With everything standing shoulder to shoulder the place is like a jammed sub- way station at the rush hour. For most of us, this is the time of year for late summer trim- ming of shrubs and climbing roses, for cutting ,back lush early summer growth, and pruning out weak or interfering branch- es of trees. Some perennials can be moved, also, and iris can be divided. It is therefore a good time to look the place over and do away with overcrowding. Shrubs that bloomed this spring should have their spent bloom heads cut off. Lilacs, rhododendrons, b r i d al wreath are among these. Notice, how- ever, where the new flower shoots are forming or where new shoots that will be the source of next year's flowers are, and don't cut them off, Lilacs for next year form at the base of the "Y" made by this year's two sprays. Azaleas form next year's flowers imme- • diately after blooming. These flower buds must not be trimmed off. Bridal wreath blooms on new shoots and can be cut backs severely. Forsythia is a lush grower, but bleorris next season on this year's new growth. Watch for suckers frem the roots of hybrid roses. Any shoots coming up from below the graft will not be the plants you. bought. Wisteria side shoOts can be cut back to two leaf nodes, and unwanted leaders can be cut off. If Your wisteria is well es- tablished, it may need pruning every two or three weeks to keep it from climbing all over the landscape. Large-flowered climbing roses should be thinned, but do not remove all the old canes, for flowering branches grow from them. Oriental poppies can be Juvenile Crime In Mexico City In Mexico City three diminu- tive desperadoes, ranging in ages from just under eight to just over 12, decided to do some- thing about bettering their stan- dards of living. So, late one afternoon, recent- ly, they sneaked into one of the city's major department stores, successfully avoided clerks and, later, the lone nightwatchman. After midnight, they came out of hiding, changed their ragged outfits for the latest cuts in ju- venile fashions,. and launched a determined assault on the candy and ice-cream departments. But the youthful intruders found that crime does not pay. They landed in the children's court because gorged with too much chocolate and ice cream, they fell asleep in the toy de- partment, and were finally dis- covered by the watchman. However, Guillermo and Cruz Garcia Sanchez, aged eight and nine, and Jose Gonzales Sanchez,, the eldest of the tfio, had had a dream come true of being able to play with the exciting toys they had seen in window dis- plays. The Youngest member of the trio proposed the raid and' it was promptly seconded by the other two. They had a whale.of a time before they were betray- ed by stomachs unused to such a rich diet. They promised the children's court judge to reform, and never to indulge, in their passion for toys .,or candy by trespassing on private property again. And 'charges were' not pressed. But while this trio engaged in a harmless childhood escapade, other under-age desperadoes in China's Great Wall Tumbling Down Is the world's greatest wall destined to crumble and eventu, ally he forgotten? It seems that this may be the case according to a geelqlst who has been unofficially inspecting Sections of the vast twenty-five- foot-thick Great Wall of China which extends 1,500 miles over mountains, wat built rivers r$ a s a defenceWld valle and against the savage Tartars, The Great Wall has stood for more than 2,000 years but today sotto of it is in a state of ruin because it has long ago outlived its usefulness, This giant barrier---the mighti- est ever built by man — has towers, or bastions, forty-feet square at the base, erected at every hundred yards or so of its length, It is calculated that in this single wall, on which 300,000 men worked night and day for fifteen years, is sufficient build- ing material to erect a barrier right around the globe at the Equator at least eight feet high and three feet thick, Many of the. Great Wall's sec- tions are still in good preserva- tion. 'It was repaired by succes- sive Chinese emperors 'when they were threatened by invasion from the north, One authority ore China, Mr. Hadland Davis, reported that rich and poor, learned and sim- ple Chinese, spoke of the builder of the Great Wall, Emperor Shih Huang Ti, with contempt. Among the workers were men who had given him offence, so the Emperor ordered that they should do the heaviest tasks of lifting and placing stones. Those who paused for a moment to rest were pounced upon by a brutal overseer, killed and their bodies crushed into the founda- tion of the Great Wall. The mighty old wall was the scene of many terrible battles centuries ago. As comparatively recently as 1933 it played a part in the fighting in China against Japan. LIBRARIAN WANTED ST.
