m C ts ® s T4 s E&,gnf-;s h 14 $ g At the weekly luncheon session of of the Highland Park Rotary club, Monday noon, at the Moraine hotel, the principal speaker was Mr. C. Edâ€" ward ‘Thorny, director of the Outing and Recreation bureau, 72 W, Adams street, Chicago. He was introduced by Mr. J. R. Blackhall and gave a very interesting illustrated lecture on "Metropolitan. Chicago, Its Achieveâ€" ments and Progress." The talk was necessarily limited by the luncheon period, but it was highly interesting throughout and was heard with apâ€" preciation by the members present. I know of that .it seems natural to apply a match to the tobacco, but we wait until it is in a dry state. It appears that an extremely volatile gas emanates from the main stem of the flower stalk, from the base of the blooms up to ye top. It ignites only on warm, calm evenings, and seems to hug the main stem, conseâ€" quently the lighted match must be held close to the stem and immediâ€" ately under the lower tier of flowers. I had heid the match to the outer rim of flowers, some three inches away from the gas, hence my failure. It is a singular fact that if the flowerâ€" stalk is cut and removed it will not ignite.â€" Either species is slow in esâ€" tablishing itself, but once it gets a good start it will outâ€"live the planter if given a fair show.

He said: "The U. S. Navy is unable to deâ€" fend itself on the sea," was the opinâ€" ion expression by Rear Admiral Walâ€" ter 8. Crosley, commandant of Great Lakes Naval Training station, in an address before the Advertising Men‘s post of the American Legion at the Hotel Sherman, in Chicago last week, according to a Waukegan paper. "A small percentage of the sum consumed in operating a naval exâ€" pedition, if spent from year to year would protect American naval interâ€" ests. Such an expenditure for preâ€" paredness would be saving in‘ the longâ€"run." ; An economic argument in favor of the construction and maintenance of large navies was also advanced by Admiral Crosley who pointed out a large naval construction program will provide thousands of men with emâ€" ployment throughout the nation. He also quoted figures showing that $1,â€" 000 is spent daily in American ports when a battleship is in. Says Navy Unable to Defend Itself ; Ships Mostly Obsolete, Etc.
