If they turn out and fill their needs at the garden fair, enough funds will be available to purchase all the needed plants, and perhaps to put in the informal pool which forms the focal point of the garden. â€"The garden will be sitâ€" uated north of Roger Williams avenue and just west of the tracks. There will be benches scattered through the informal planting, and the masses of roses will be enclosed by aâ€" of other members of the rose family, such as our beloved wild erabs, thorns and plums, â€" For Rose Garden > The garden fair is, of course, to raise funds for the municipal rose garden.

A loose remember what a grand success â€"â€"_One of the secrets of his success as a lecturer to high school youths is his understanding of young people and his simple appeal to their menâ€" tality. He talks to mixed audiences about petting and necking without preaching and without offending. Many times, educators have told _him that â€"academicâ€"tests of students in their studies a few months after his lectures had shown a remarkable inâ€" crease in grades. Dr. Barker probably has talked to more high school stuâ€" dents than any other man who ever lived. He has a message old and familiar, but eagerly received by the boys and girls of every new generaâ€" tion. Pi Delta Club to ; 7 Sponsor Card Party ~has delivered nearly four thousâ€" and addresses, speéaking three times a day for four or five days each. His most popular lecture "How to make the most out of life" has been delivered to three million boys and girls of high school age. â€" Without preaching and without any oratorical flourishes, Dr.â€"Barker has left a proâ€" found impression on the lives of these millions of young . people. _ Usually he follows this address with separate talks to women and girls on "A mothâ€" er‘s responsibility to her daughter," and to men and boys on "A father‘s responsibility to his son, and these last two are sex talks. _ Dr. Barker holds that the place for sex education is .the home and not the school. Dr. Barker is a forceful speaker deeply interested in his work and his talks to mothers and fathers on their responsibilities to their sons and daughters are intensely practical and afford food for serious thought to all who hear him. Dr. Barker was formerly physical instructor to the late William Howâ€" ard Taft, former president and judge of the U. S. Supreme court. For a number of years Dr. Barker has deâ€" voted the greater portion of his time to lecturing on health topics and in 1919 first delivered his now famous address on "A father‘s responsibility to his son." hx ’HEALTH EXPERT TO SPEAK HERE MAY 11 to men and older boys on the subâ€" ject, "A father‘s responsibility to his 'on‘” * school on the subject, "A mother‘s â€"~ In *the evening, â€"in the Eim Place auditorium, Dr. Barker will speak (Continued from page 1) ty | opring of the year, the major probâ€" i1 lem is warming up the soil.

To grow roses successfully requires as much energy as golf; to be able to discuss them intelligently becomes as entertaining as bridge â€" and surely the results are much more tangible than either of these two pastimes. f â€"â€"CHARLES FIORE NURSERIES Rugosa roses are perfectly hardy and are invaluable in landscape work. Their heavy wood and shrubby formâ€" _alion make them particularly adaptâ€" _able to hedges and heavy borders, or wixed in plantings of shrubs.
