Garden By GORDON L.'SMITH ~~ +ARTICLE-NO, 2 ~~ - ~ ---- Informal planting, say the experts, {s the most suitable for the average flower. garden. True, it is possible with 'very large grounds and skilled help to do something with straight, ed rows and borders. 'But in he average case planting : irregular. in clumps will produce the most pleasing effects. Such planting too, add an air of spaciousness, giv- ing even tiny backyard gardens the appearance of much larger affairs, - ~ 8et Off By A Lawn | Where at all possible there should be a bit of a lawn in the foreground ith an {irregularly shaped bed of flowers around the edges and, possib. ly, groups of shrubs set at the cor. ners, Screening of harsh,. straight lines about the house and drives with clumps of flowers and shrubs and an occasional trailing vine over veran. --dahs-or-garages will bring the whole thing together It will give the home the appearance of being part of the landscape rather than some rigid af. fair sticking out of the earth. Vegetable Rows Straight Vegetables on the other hand, should be planted in straight rows, But here, too, a little planning will help. There are a great many new varieties now available in Canada and by the liber..l use of some of these newer things, and by adopting the rule to make at least three sowings of each variety a week or ten days apart, productipn can be materially increased. The big advantage of the vegetable garden- rignt at tho door is freshness, but ta get full value in this respect it is important to have a new supply coming along frequently, Therefore, the modern gardener in. stead of planting all his peas, let- tuce, or carrots on the same day, puts some in the first week and more "a little later.

In such countries as Germany and Russia attention to pliysical develop. ment is looked upon as definitely one of the functions of government.

Establish two Grants Committees, each of three members, through 'whith grants will be made. to volun- tary organizations and local authori ties. 3 Invite the Adviscry Councils to or- ganize local committees to develop and co-ordinate t hweork in the vari. ous localities and to advise the Grants "Comniittees on the distribution of the ; local grants, v - ? Establish a National College of Phy- sical' Training. Make a grant to the National Play- ing Fields Association, for the provi slon"of more playing fields; and Make » grant to the Central Council of Recreative Physical Training, to assist it to promote the supply of tea- chers and leaders until the Training College is ready. . The purpose, said 'Mr. Oliver Stan- ley is to give people opportunities for exercise in order to "make their lives happier, their work easier, their lei sure more enjoyable."

They throw their ashes everywhere and flip hot cigarettes on to the carpets or leave them burning on the furniture. . They shine their shoes with the towels. They get drunk and break furniture. They how and carry. on far into the night, to the distress of guests who are not playful but wish to sleep. They throw food about the rooms and bottle out the windows. They keep the help a-run- ning until all hours. } On the trains they crowd into drawing rooms end compartments and sing "dirty songs, the ladies as well as the gentlemen, in a manner to be heard by: passengers who are neither drunk nor obscene, and they drive well-behaved people out of the' club cars with their goins-on.

Young Ontario Brides Writes the Brockvilie Recorder ~and Times: The talk having. turned to youthful brides, statistics show the average age- in Ontario to be lowering in recent years. Seventy per cent of the brides of 1934 were under :26. In 1924 the percentage for the same age bracket was sixty- eight. In 1934 five per cent were under 18, ten years previously only three and' one-half per cent. The biggest percentage age is 21.

Every woman 'should do at least one pbsture exercise a day. Fortuns ately, one of the best routines tokes only. about two minutes. Simply stand about 12 inches away from a wall, then lean backward until the centre of your backbone touches it. Press body hard and flat against the hard surface until all of the spinal column, except three or four vertabrae at the base of it, is touching, The base of the spine should ba held up and forward, away from the wall. Shoulders should touch lightly. Notice how this pulls your stomach in, that there 18 no exaggerated hol- low in the middle of your back; and how much more slender your hips do look. Get into the habit of walking and standing this way. . ; Never sit on the edge of a - chair aud don't try to flatten your shoul. ders against it, Let the lower half of your spine touch the back of the chair, - When you stand ,imagine you are suspended by a shining silver thread from the sky.

Don't pull your chin in, or worse yet, don't thrust it forward. Hold your head core rectly and then forget entirely about your jawbone. Learn to hold your hands quietly fn your lap. Hands that flutter and fidget detract from charm and poise. -- two characteristics which become increas. ingly tmportant as you get older, Reports of Crime - At the recent convention of school trustees of Brant, Norfolk, Oxford, Wentworth, Haldimand, Lincoln and Welland Counties, held in the Brant ford Collegiate auditorium, someone mo rentarity raised the venerable question of the publication of "crime" reports in the newspapers, writes the Brantford Expositor. The speaker was slightly critical, urgesting that there should be more rigid censorship of re. ports of cgiminal offenses, on the theory that such reports gave school children wrong "ideas." A friendly re. tort was immediately forthcoming and appeared to have the majority endorsation, namely, that "our news. papers are not sofa . As dsmatter fact, they are not, The problem of the reporting of the news dealing with" eriminal happen ings is one that has long engaged the attention of newspapers and press ase sociations and ft cannot be fairly charged that the press, either in Ca- nada or in Great Britain, gives undue or sensational attention to such items, Exceptions there always will be to this rule, of course, but they merely serve the better to illustrate the gene eral contention. Canadian newspapers owe a duty to their readers in keeping them ade quately informed as to events, erimin- al or otherwise. They also owe a duty to society in supporting the adminis- tratic of justice and the deterring of wrong-doing and in this respect pub. licity becomes a potent weapon on the side of the law. There is a world of difference between this policy and any cheap "yellow press" panderings to morbid appetites through the une "due sensationalizing of "crime" news, Perhaps the best refutation of any charge of over-publicizing-of crime ix contained in the very fgsue of the Expostor in which appeared the re. port of the proceedings of the Trus- tees' meeting. That day there w.-o over two hundred items in the paper and of the two hundred only six had to do with crime in any of its aspects, Penny Postage It seems that penny postage is in sight, or almost in sight, in Canada again, hopefully comments the Vane couver Province. When it comes -it will be welcome, and it should not be unprofitable, ; Postal rates have had their ups and downs in this counry. At the time of Confederation . the domestic letter rate was five cents per halt ounce and it was reduced at once to three cents. Imperial penny postage camo in 1898 with the issue of Sir William Mulock's inspiring stamp, "We hold a vaster Empire than has been." : The penny rate held until 1915, when the rising costs of th. war per- fod seemed to make an increase to three cents desirable. In 1926 the penny rate came back, but the office suffered increasing deficits until 1931, when the deficit was aieariy $6,000,000 and a special revenue tax of one cent per half ounce was imposed, It is this revenue 1x that has brought the cost of mailing a letter vp to three cents, For soma years now the post office has had a surplus, mounting gradually, and the Postma.' ter-General admitted recently --that this year's surplus = would he over $3,000,000. and that if revenues ine creased sufficiently the penny stamp wonld be back again, Better business should increase the revenues, and the lower rate should, in turn, react facorably on business. : Z Always Youthifying : As a woman grows older, correct
