WFRENCH SAVE RELICS FLOWER MEDICINE Have you dosed your plants for spring yet? Every fern, palm and other green plant should have a tea- spoonful of castor oil in spring. It really is a good thing to give them the dose about, once every three months. Pour it against the root and stir the earth around it. SPRING PAINTING Painting the garden fence, posts, lattice work, arbors and seats should be a forerunner to spring planting. Moreover, brightly painted rden’| things give one the sense of blooming flowers, long before they really bud. APPLE RINGS If your family is tired of apple sauce and baked apples, try apple rings. Core apples and cut each apple crosswise in inch rings. Fill the cen- ter with nuts, raisins and candied fruit, sprinkle with cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg, cover with water, and bake slowly. . ANT PREVENTION Adding a little ammonia to the water in which you wash your pantry shelves is an aid to keeping ants away. ENAMEL TOUCHES ‘The enamel cult has spread to slippers and handbags. A new Parisian ensemble fashioned of wool and straw fabric in beige tones has a purse fast- ening and sandal buckles of ‘enameled squares with rose and grecn on 8 black background. CUSTARD HINT If you intend to have watery cus- tard, placing a piece of bread on top of custard before you bake it will remedy this. The oven’s even heat is needed also to get a smooth, delicious custard. - EGG STAINS ‘When your family eats eggs regu- larly for breakfast and the silver is stained constantly as a result, try keeping an aluminum pot of salt and soda solution with water near by. Drop all breakfast silver into it when clearing the- table, and by the time you wash dishes the dircoloration will have disappeared. CLEANSING FLOWERS ‘When the artificial flowers in your wardrobe need cleaning, put them in @ preserving jar of some good cleans- ing fluid, screw the lid down tightly and shake the whole jar gently. When clean, put in another jar of fresh fluid and rinse in the same way. You will behold them restored to their pristine beauty and freshness. PINNED-UP CURTAINS If you pin back your glass curtains at night they will last longer than if they flap against the screen or out into the night air.

Lucas special : | ENTERING NEW ERA All Southern Continent Under- takes to Industrialize and Supply Own Needs Sao Paulo, Brazil, April 3—(7)— All South America has undertaken to industrialize itself and supply the manufactured goods its people need. It is uphill job. South Ameri- s have been thinking in terms of land and agriculture for four cen- turies,: The Portuguese and Spanish land grants were the basis of all for- tunes until recent years. Colfee, sug tubber, cattle, fruit, rice and cotton supported the upper class people and afforded labor for the workers. Most of the large fortunes of South America are in great estates. The rich are not inclined to industries and will not invest their fortunes to any great extent. Consequently capital has come from abroad. Sao Paulo, which claims to be the greatest industrial city south of the equator on any continent has grown into a city of 800,000 under industrial expansion. It was fortunate in hav- ing the world’s greatest coffee district tat its door. But Sao Paulo no longer rests on coffeee. It has profited by the abundant water power in this part of Brazil and has set itself: to manufacture the goods Brazil's 3h- 000,000 inhabitants require. Cotton, wool, jute, leather, wood and all sorts of metals are converted into the articles required by Brazil and neigh- boring countries. Rio de Janeiro has also been indus- trialized to a considerable extent. It is Brazil's greatest shoe center and has important cotton mills, hat fac- tories and other industries. It also manufactures wallpaper. Brazil already manufactures prac- tically all the ordinary wearing ap- parel required by the masses and is rapidly extending its factories for the manufacture of more luxurious ar- because living standards are rapidly.

ONE LONELY SOLDIER GUARDS FAMOUS FORT Fort Sumter, Where Drama of Civil War Was Started, Has Not Seen Action Since Charleston, 8. C., April 3—(?)—A lonely garrison of one private soldier today stands guard over old Fort Sumter where nearly 68 years ago began the drama of the civil war. ‘The old fort, in possession of the United States government as a mill- tary post since its construction about 1812 except for the period of ‘the civil war, today has a fortification of two 12 inch guns of which the one man ‘garrison is caretaker. Sumter has seen no active service in more than 60 years, but through the war of secession it was the cen- ter of furious fighting centering around the harbor and the city. ‘The first overt act which brought on actual civil war in 1861 took place here. On her secession from the union, South Carolina had required the surrender of all property within her boundaries held by the national government. Maj. Robert Anderson, commanding a garrison of federal troops at Fort Moultrie, withdrew his garrison to Sumter, then unoccupied ‘as a more easily defended point.
