Too Much Water Will Make Plants Appear Scraggly If your house plants appear scrag gly and sickly, it may be that they get more water than they can as similate. If you use a jardiniere, pot the plant in an ordinary florist’s pot with drainage vent in the bot tom, and be sure that the jardiniere is large enough to permit the pot to rest on small blocks of wood or stones so that excess water may drain away from the roots. Keep the soil loose with a small claw tool or fork, but be careful not to injure the roots when loosening the dirt. The ideal way to water plants, of course, is to set them in a tub of water and allow the roots to ab sorb the moisture through the bot- Here are the shoes of tomorrow, according to Sally Rand, well-known figure in the entertainment world, who introduced them at San Fran cisco’s Golden Gate exposition.

C.- Welcoming the Yankee Clip per on its transatlantic flights at Horta, Azores islands, is not a new thrill for citizens of the city. The navy plane, NC-4, which took off from Newfoundland on the first transatlantic flight in 1919, landed at Horta on May 17. Commanded by Lieutenant-Com mander Albert C. Reid, the NC-4 was one of three planes that made the “hop.” Two planes failed 200 miles short of the Azores. One was forced down and abandoned by its crew and the other was lost in fog, landed on the sea, ahd taxied to Ponta Del gado, the metropolis of the islands. Lindbergh Stopped There. Again the citizens of Horta peered into the skies on November 21, 1933, and greeted Col. and Mrs. Charles i A. Lindbergh as they descended into the harbor from Lisbon on their epochal flight around the north Atlantic. The Azores port, since then, has frequently been visited by transat lantic flyers, especially during 1938, which was a boom year in transat lantic flying. Among the planes alighting on the harbor were the German Nordmeer and British Mer cury, the latter the famous picka back plane. The city was also host to the crew of the German Branden burg and the French Lieutenant de Vaisseau Paris. It took 17 hours and 33 minutes for the Yankee Clipper to reach World Eyes New Bolivia; Tin Coveted Dictator Busch Can Sway Market of Important Raw Metal.

Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. Bolivia’s newly established dicta torship can affect foreign countries more than would changes in many other parts of South America, be cause Bolivia’s government is financed mainly by the revenue from its exports, and its exports— particularly tin—are in strong de mand. Tin, one of the strategic metals highest on the United States’ want- list, is Bolivia’s number one product and is responsible for its biggest business. As the third greatest tin- producing country of the world, Bo livia is the nearest source for that metal to all countries of the New World, sine* its chief competitors are the Federated Malay States and the Netherlands Indies in Asia. Most of Bolivia’s tin ore exports, however, go to Great Britain, since there are no tin smelters in Bolivia or the United States. Bolivian tin returns to the Americas from Brit ish smelters. In Bolivia “the tin standard” sub stitutes for the gold standard. This metal constitutes from two-thirds to nine-tenths of the country’s exports; and export duties in this land of impoverished agriculture and limit ed industry are the chief sources of the government’^ income. During 1937 the nation produced 12 per cent of the world’s tin output. But Bolivia is by no means a one- metal land. Some 98 per cent of her exports are minerals, tin being fol lowed in value by silver, lead, anti mony, zinc, tungsten, copper, and bismuth. In antimony, too, the country ranks third on the list of producing nations. Its position is now of added importance because China has previously been the lead ing source of supply but is no longer a factor in the world market. In addition to utilitarian tin and the Spanish silver of such romantic lore, exports of rubber, quinine, and exotic chinchilla fur help to make 1745 .

Twenty years later, in lower photo, the Yankee Clip per stops at Horta. Horta but the NC-4, two decades ago, was in the air only 15 hours and 17 minutes. A glance at a map of the Atlantic shows that the differ ence in time is explained by the dis tances flown. The Yankee Clipper took off from Baltimore, Maryland, about 2,800 miles west of Horta; the NC-4 started from Newfoundland to the northwest, which is about half the distance. Transatlantic Cable Station. Horta is the principal port and largest city on Fayal island. Near ly one-third of the island’s 20,000 inhabitants live in the city whose white, red-roofed buildings sprawl along the shore of one of the finest harbors in the Azores. Situated on the southeast shore of the island, the harbor is subject to heavy winds, but a half-mile-long jetty makes it a sought-for haven during stormy weather. Fifteen to twenty large vessels may safely an chor in the harbor at a time. Horta was significant as a trans oceanic communications center even before transatlantic flights were made. It is the most important junction point of transatlantic ca bles. In one of its buildings six com panies—British, German, Italian, French, and two American—are housed. They handle messages for stations in North America, Europe, and South Africa, and by intercon nection for stations in every part of the world. 1773 YOU’LL feel cool, and look smart, as well as much slim mer, in 1773, a soft afternoon dress with full, graceful sleeves, a paneled skirt, and shirred bod ice that fits beautifully over the bust.

Bolivia known to the outside world. Some estimates rank Bolivian for ests second to those of Brazil for production of South American rub ber; since much of the smaller country’s forest products float down the headwaters of the Amazon to Brazilian ports, their origin is ob scure. In an area more than twice as large as Texas, Bolivia supports only 55 per cent as many people as the Lone Star state. This is the only South American nation without access to the sea directly from its own ports; Bolivia lost her coastal territory to Chile after the War of the Pacific nearly 60 years ago. The land-locked Andean plateau, cradled 12,000 feet above sea level between two snow-capped ranges with peaks exceeding 21,000 feet, has so im pressed popular imagination—with its “world’s highest capital. La Paz,” and its “world’s highest steamer service” on Lake Titicaca —that the'low tropical plains to the east of the mountains are frequent ly forgotten. Yet these extensive lowlands constitute about 70 per cent of the nation’s 537,792 square miles. On the south they merge into the Gran Chaco, scene of the most recent war in the Western Hemisphere CQR« 7H6 0* - 1 floV.scome'oJ ond cnsP" # ‘ .xcW*W..
