GIANTS FIGHT TO HOLD LEAD New York Battling To Retain National League Leadership New York. Aug. 21—<U.R) If a gallant fight to hold first place means anything, the New York Giants should win the National league pennant. Since July 14, when they seem-| ed about to collapse, the Giants | have overcome countless handi-. caps. Now. with the campaign j running into the final stretch, the ! New Yorkers are anticipating a. breathing spell. They encounter one more oh-; stacle this week — the Chicago Cubs —and then they settle down • on the home field to a campaign against the second division clubs, and a first division tailender. The Cubs come to the Polo ! grounds Thursday. By winning three straight from the Cincinnati Reds, the league-leaders increased their hold by three games over \ the Cardinals, and 3Vi over the ■ Cubs. The Giants won out in the tenth i inning yesterday. The Reds scor-: ed a run in the tenth to lead, 5-4. , but Kank Leiber’s homer plus a single bv Travis Jackson which | 111I 1111 1111111" II HII II ■uau.) =W WHEN good old Rover mistakes the rent collector for a robber, you’ll be glad you decided to /ETNA-IZE An /Etna Personal Liability Policy completely protects you, your wife, and your family against costly damage suits.

WINDOW BOXES, POTTED PLANTS NEED CONSTANT WATERING Twice A Day Is Not Too Much During Hottest Davs. Give Wall Plantings A Good Soaking Every Other Day. Dip Pots In Pan Os Water; They Will Absorb Moisture In A Few Minutes.

The most frequent cause of failure wqjt window boxes and plants grown next to the wall is a lack ■ of moisture. The reason is. of course, that such plantings do not get the benefit of rains on account of their closeness to the building. Even in a downpour. | they might get only a moderate! amount of moisture, although it ! seems like they are being drenched. Window boxes and potted plants on the sill get the least natural moisture. Usually they are set I flu-li against the side of -the wall ; where the upper window ledge and | the eaves of the house “protect” | them from the rain. The small ' amount of soil in them prevents retention of what moisture they get. tnus making them abnormally dry. — Watering twice a day in the hot summer days is not excessive. During cooler weather, the watering may be cut down to once a day. In the case of potted plants, it is a good idea to set them in a tray of water, so that the soil may absorb moisture as needed. If >his is done, however, no more than a half inch of water should be kept in the tray, as more than this amount will be as harmful as what you are trying to prevent. The amount of water you have to give such plantings will depend , ecmewhat on the type of soil you . have in the box or pot. If it is

composed of a third good humas. ' less water will be needed, because ! less will be evaporated by the sun i and wind. If the soil is light and without much humus, more will be needed. Wall plantings of annuals or perennials will need almost as much attention as the window box. ; They are robbed of much moisture by the eaves and the walls of the . building in most cases, and I should have particular attention i! during hot, dry weather. Do not ; make the mistake of watering ! them as often as you do the wini dow boxes, however, "as this will l tend to make roots shallow and j tender. A good soaking with the ! hose, not the sprinkler, is best. This will cause the moisture to sink deep into the ground, and the plants may depend upon’ capillary action to bring it up again as needed. Potted plants which are kept indoors should have their share of moisture as well, especially if they are placed in a sunny location. Dipping them down to the rim of the pot in water is the ’ test way to do this. Many people set the plants out in the ruin when they can, thinking no doubt i that rain water will be better for i them than tap water. This is true to some extent, but the method ■ i is not dependable, and a drenchI . ing rain might do more harm than i; good to a tender indoor plant not i used to such harsh treatment.

PORK PRICES MUCH HIGHER Prices Show Rise Os 75100 Per Cent Throughout Country (Copyright 1935 by United Frees) Chicago, Aug. 21- <U.R) Ordinary pork chops are almost ns precious as caviar, a eurvey of retail meat prices in America dia- ! closed today. With only three-quarters ns much raw pork as last year to supply approximately the fame number of people who want ham and eggs for breakfast and pot k chops occasionally for dinner, the price has been bid up from to 100 per cent. The situation has brought serious repercussions with meat strikes declared by housewives and formal protests organized to carry the issue to tile federal government and to the meat) packers. Both the government and the packers pointed out the price of meat is governed by the law of supply and demand and is beyond - their control. Since the demand is approxi--1 mately the same for supplies that have been seriously curtailed by draught and by the operation of ! the agricultural adjustment ad- | ministration, prices have gone I zooming upward Although pack ers contend the most active of the meat ’’strikers” are sponsored | by radical organizations they adi mitted there probably is a tendI ency among the average American housewives to find suitable sub-. sfitutes for precious pork. When this trend results in a decline in, demand then prices will drop, the I packers contend. Meanwhile, however, the price 1 of hoge hovered near a five-year I high at the Chicago stockyards and the price of everything that i butchers make out of hogs mounted steadily in retail meat shops j from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In Washington pork chops were selling today at 45 centu a pound, five cents higher than last month | and 13 cents higher than last year. In Des Moines choice chops sold at 38 cents today compared with only 14 a year ago. Butchers j in lowa reported a “very decided” i i drop in sales of pork. In Chicago , the price today was 39 cents com-; ■ pared with 27 a year ago and i butchers reported customers calling for beef and lamb. The survey showed other meat prices rising also but r.at as sensationi
