Kelser—Marigolds Are Her Pride. XXXIV. Thousands of flaming orange mari- gold blossoms arranged with a hedge- like effect about the yard of Mrs. Nel- lie B. Kelser, 1500 Newton street northeast, have transformed the en- tires corner into a mass of brilllant color. In addition to the hedge which runs along Fifteenth street, Mrs. Kelser has five large beds of lemon marigolds | now in full blossom in her back yard. The plants are about three feet high and each stalk bears four or five blooms. Marigolds Now in Bloom. The marigolds start blooming late ia Tuly and will continue with no dimunition of color until the killing frosts o1 early November. .The entire corner is suffused with the peculiar, pungent marigold odor so characteris- tic of old-fashioned gardens. Mrs. Kelser has made a_speclalty of mari- gold cultivation. The chief require-| ments are, she says, to keep the soil loose and to ater very plentifully. No other plant, she finds, enjoys plen- ty of water more than the marigold. | Both the hedge and the bed plants| are placed about eight inches apart This is too close, Mrs. Kelser believes, | except for the fact that some are cer- | tain to die before they come into blos- | ving unsightly gaps if a great- | e is allowed. Kelser's garden is a splendid | Mrs example of one built up with practi-! | four cally nothing to start with. She has beds containing from 1,500 to 000 purple iris. The origin of these was about 25 bulbs dug up a few years ago from a nelghboring fleld. They were cultivated iris which had run wild. She has five and a half rows of dahlias, 70 plants in all, which started with a dozen bulbs. She has pur- chased nothing since, depending en- tirely on the natural increase of the tubers. Solid Red Zinnia Bed. One of the most striking features of the vard is a long hedge of rose of Sharon. When Mrs. Kelser came to the house four years ago there was a single pink and white althea bush. From this she has clipped 25 other bushes which now are about five feet high. Some of them, curiously, have deviated from the parent bush by pro- ducing red and purple blossoms. Another unusual feature is a bed of solid scarlet dahlia zinnlas. The zin- nia is such a sporty flower as regards | color that it usually is impossible to secure more than a few blossoms of exactly the same shade in a bed. On the front Jawn is a bed of solid red geraniums surrounded and set off artistically by a border of white aly sium. Against the front walk is a thick hedge of chrysanthemums, about two feet across and containing more than 500 plants. Mrs. Kelser has ob- tained all of these from an original | dozen plants by persistent clipping ANNEXATION AIDED U. S, AND HAWAI Has Helped Islands and This Country, Declares Head of Geographic Society. Hawall, recently the objective of the first long non-stop seaplane flight over Pacific waters, s the subject of a com- munication to the National Geographic Soclety from its president, Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor. “The annexation of the Hawallan Islands by the United States has turned out to be as good a bargain for the entire United States as it has | proved for the Islands themselves, says Dr. Grosvenor. “Great as is the value of Hawail as the first line of America’s military and health defense in the Pacific, these advantages are ours without | the net expenditure of a single dollar | of malnland money “The people of Hawaii not only pay for the operation of their own govern- ment, but in addition contribute large- Iy to the National Treasury at Wash. ington to reimburse it for present-day expenditures for the Territory's de- fense “Not only do they give Uncle Sam | a dollar for every one they spend on themselves, but they do it with a wil- lingness and a pride in the causes of | the Nation that make them peculiarly entitled to the consideration of their tellow-countrymen on the mainland. The quarter of the century that has now passed since the American flag first floated over Hawali has seen its people develop a loyalty to that flag and a devotion to the Republic's ideals that are not excelled even in those States whose proud beast may ways be that they are of ‘The Origi- nal Thirteen.” The visitor, however well prepared | by reading and by conversation' Wwith COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CARNIVAL OCT. 1-2 Business Men’s Association to Stage Big Entertain- ment on Streets.

Dismer, president of the association, said yesterday. Mr. Dismer and Frank J. Sobotka, chairman of the general committee of the carnival, have under them a dozen committees, composed of more than 100 leading business men of the com- munity, who are arranging for the occasion. 200,000 Visitors Expected. Committees and subcommittees have been meeting almost daily for two weeks working out, in co-operation with the police and the District au- thorities an elaborate program design- ed to provide for the comfort and en- tertainment of 200,000 visitors expect- ed from all over the city. ¢ This carnival will differ from many such events in that it will charge no admission and will offer nothing for sale to those who attend. Nationally known products will be exhibited and demonstrated, but no sales will be made from booths and no fakirs will be allowed. Instead there will be free and abundant entertainment for all, in- cluding a parade, street dancing, cos- tume events, beauty contests, clown | teatures, several bands, public speak- ing. singing. contests of skill and sus- prise novelties.

Any Climate You Wish. “Roughly computed, the annual mean temperature is 75.55 degrees, with a divergence in either direction of 7.55 degrees. As a general rule, the temperature is cooler by four | degrees for every thousand feet of | altitude, so that people can choose thelr climate to suit themselves with- out_leaving the fslands “We had an amusing illustration of the variety of climate on Oahu. We| had requested the privilege one morn- ing of viewing a noted Japanese gar- den at Waikiki. The owner, with typical Hawallan hospitality, imme- diately assented, and added that his wife would be happy to receive us, but he was not sure that he could locate her at such short notice. He had a town house in Honolulu, the Japanese villa at Walkiki for ‘surf- riding, 2 mountain retreat on Nuuanu, a ranch house on the dry plateau near Schofleld Barracks, and a_bungalow on the rainy northeast shore. All these establishments were within two hours’ ride, and vet each had an en- tirely different atmosphere.

With a depth of over 60 feet, an area of nearly 10 square mtles, ‘reached by a tortuous channel | from the sea, and completely hiding all vessels within its haven from view toward the sea, it leaves nothing to be desired as a patural naval base. “No landing forces on the northeast coast can_get acrossthe high moun- tains of Koolau range, and likewise the Walanae mountains adjacent to the west coast are natural defenses against attack. It remains only, therefore, to defend a short stretch of the northeast coast to protect Pearl Harbor from the rear. “A start has been made in capitaliz- ing its natural strength. A huge dry dock, large enough to float any ship anctioned by the naval treaty, is in operation, but very littleelse has been cars whose fares | tails of which await early confirma- tion by the proper public officials.

LONDON, September 8.—Another of the dreaded diseases of childhood, in- fantile paralysis, which, like rickets, graduates large quotas of cripples, has responded to the good influence of the sun’s rays. Dr. G. Murray Levick, medical director of the Her- itage Craft Schools at Chailey, Sussex, who originated the treatment, said that no other method has ever had as good results as this in the treatment of infantile paralysis. Dr. Levicl first deduced that neuras- thenia in grown-ups and rickets in the young are due to the same cause. Both these diseases, he claims, are nutritional disturbances of the nerve Handkerchief Bouquets of Interest to Young and Old Ideal as favors, for prizes, week end or back-to-school gifts. 3 Handkerchiefs, $1.00.

If you can say “yes” to the above, you are fashion wise and will appreciate our centers affecting the bones in the young, and the nervous systems in the old. The action of sunlight on the skin forms a substance which is car- ried into the blood and feeds the nerve centers as well as the bones. His suc- cess in treating neurasthenia with sun’s rays led him to apply it to cases of infantile paralysis, a disease which 18 a severe shock to the nervous sys- tem and which results in muscular atrophy. Under the action of sun- light a renutrition of nerve centers takes place. Synthetic sunlight produced by him with an electric arc light of his own invention proved as good as natural sunlight, and could be better regu- lated to the patient’s sndurance. He used two distinct kinds of light rays, ‘he short ultra violet rays for nerve nutrition and the long red and infra- red ones for muscle treatment. Red rays, as can be seen when the hand is held up against the sunlight, pen- etrate the flesh to a considerable ex- tent, and can therefore stimulate the sleeping muscle. Dr. Levick warns that immediate 13 Y Women Invest in Racers.
