Long after garages have passed away to make room for airplane landing stations, childief' in class will get up to recite “The Village Blacksmith!” Nancy hart When putting away the woolens, let us not forget that modem science teaches us several interesting things about moths. First, that contrary to old beliefs —FLYING MOTHS DO NOT EAT WOOL. I t isi the tir^y worms hatched from their eggs that do the damage. Killing flying moths, then doesn’t guarantee piotection, for invariably, when seen flying, they have already cieposited the eggs ori .wolens some where aboue the house. ■ Moth balls, cedar'-chests and other “smelly” compounds have no effect on the hatching of moth eggs. So the only sure way to combat them is to mothproof fabrics themselves. This may be done by immersion.in it gasoline; by sprayirg with an odorr less, colorless moth-proofing solution, r by washing in water containing an dorless moth-proof ing\ powder that gives the same result. This treat ment makes fabrics so distasteful to moth worms that they wil starve rather than feed on them. U VERY LATESTS ■ T> n By Cecile.

With beige, with black, and white, or hunter’s gre£n or navy, use a bit of turquoise jewelry, if you would be up-to-date. This may be a tailored ring, a pendant, a choker of turquoise beads or a pair of turquoise blue balls used as clasps for suede or artelope bag. . ‘ v ' ■■■ ■'H. in ■ About yowr Health Things You Should Know Three Shortenings for Cake. Many modern recipes give us the alternative of using either butter, mar- gaiine or whipped cream in making cakes. When margarine is used for shortening, a little less is required, for it contains: less water ai*l more fat than butter. One and a half cups of whipped cream equrls a half cup of butter »or use in car*s. By Now that Spring is here, a law against throwing snowballs has been passed in Los Angeles County, Calif.

What with the extra garden work, house deaning, and the dike, smafU'wounds are quite common, and from these, if unattended i .to promptly, may arise trouble rang ing from mild infection to the deadly tetanus; it is always wise to take no chances with the invisible gem. Never mind about the brown stain caused by the application of the diug; I’d rather see a patient spotted all over with a n effective germ-killer, than to be called to attend one small zone of angry “strep” infection. The advent of mild w r arm wither is most certainly an awakener iff germ life, as well as plant life. A small rocll of good adhesive plas ter of the very best make, should be in every medicine cabinet; the “ZO” meaning zinc oxide, is a good one. Upon the occurence of the scratch on the hnnd or finger, immediately swab it with tincture of iodine; if the remedy is not near at hand, and appli cation is thus delayed, wash the mem- ‘ Lindbergh has his troubles.

NEW YORK CITY 8S Of the amount of bloom you get for the time you spend upon it. And the size of the garden is also controlled by the time you car give it. It would be foolish for you to have too large a garden. To get the geatest amount of bloom with the least time and effort takes careful planning and the selection of the right flowers. I am today sug gesting a group of arnuals that will give you the maximum bloom at the least outlay in both cash and care. These-tem annuals are- of the culture, a nd every one of them may be depended uponffo give you their full quota of bloom. They may all be started from seed ar|d will require the minimum care. There are many more that might be a dded, but these will give you a good selection for both garden and display and cutting. Here are the ten: Cosmos, Batche lor Buttons, Zinnias, Gyp«ophili a (an nual), Larkspur, Gaillardia, Nastur- titmTs, Poppies, Stocks anfl Petunia#; In this list you have flowers o L f all heights and can arrange your bor ders to look well with taller ones in the rear and the shorter to the front. In a bolder that is open upon both sides, plant the taller things in the center and the_ shorter toward the edges. Do not follow this rule too closely, as your borders do not want to have a set appearance. If you will study the effects of flowers as "grown in their wild state, you will learn a great deal that w iR help you to make your garden a thing of beauty.
