MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Thursday—Last night I c’ ned with the District of Columbia Library Association. As I looked at the members I could not help but wish that more people could realize the unselfish services that librarians throughout the country have performed during the past few years.

jarently lead the way In a milk drinking campaign by feeding soldiers, sailors and CCC boys more milk and milk products. I think this a grand idea and the numbers involved should be sufficient to prove the value of these products from the point of view of scientific experimentation. I can think of more groups that should be added if we could only gain their co-operation. All the patriotic societies and 1< gions of past, present and future wars should join and do this on a grand scale. Quite seriously, it’s a good plan and I hope it gets carried through. This has been one of these days when things to do step so swiftly on each other's heels that you are doubtful about getting through the day. We got in a swim this morning (riding was out of the question because of rain), a press conference, a few minutes’ chat with some girls who had been shown the White House, and whom I had promised to see, the usual round of morning tasks which include the absolutely necessary mail—and it was 1 o’clock! I had a small luncheon in honor of the wife of the president of Brazil, who is staying in Washington at the present time. She is most anxious to see what we are doing for children in this country, and will, I hope, visit the Bureaus of Home Economics and the Children's Bureau while here, and perhaps, some of the hospitals, day nurseries and settlement houses in New York. The afternoon is one succession of appointments ending up with several guests for tea, among them Sherwood Eddy and Silas Bryan. That is one of the interesting things about the White House—in a single day you get glimpses of many far-flung parts of the country. (Copyright, 1936, by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

Back Yard GardeningPerennial Plants Demand Little Care Once You Give Them a Good Start

Thl* I* the fifth of a series of articles 'ii gardening by budget. BY PROF. C. H. NISSLEY Extension Horticulturist, N. J. College of Agriculture and Experiment Station Rutgers University. 'VTO back yard garden is complete without some perennial fruit and vegetable plants the kind which survive freezing weather

and produce crops year after year, requiring comparatively little attention. Peren- | nial vegetables include asparagus, rhubarb and horseradish; perennial fruits include strawberr ie s, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, blackberries and grapes. Plant perennial fruits and vege-' tables at one side of the garden,

where they will not interfere with the cultivation of annuals. Asparagus, an early garden crop, will yield for as long as 16 years. Plant asparagus early, as soon as the ground can be prepared. Set out 1-year-old roots of the rustresistant Washington variety. Buy them from a reliable source. tt tt tt ■pvlG a furrow about eight inches wide and 12 inches deep and place two inches of good topsoil in it, making the depth of the furrow about 8 to 10 inches when the roots are planted. Then spread the roots along the bottom of the furrow, about 16 inches apart in the row, and cover them with about two Inches of good soil. Rows should be at least 4’i or 5 feet apart. As the young roots develop, gradually pull the soil into the furrow so that level cultivation may be practiced by midsummer. Don’t cut asparagus the first year. The second year, a few of the large spears may be cut for about two weeks. The third year, asparagus may be harvested for about five or six weeks and from the fourth year on, cutting may be done until July 1. Rhubarb is a popular, early spring vegetable, and if you will plant five or six clumps of it, there should be enough to supply the wants of a family of five persons, with some left for the neighbors. The roots should be cut apart, leaving one or not more than two eyes to each part, and planted at least four feet apart in the row. Rhubarb may be pulled the second season. tt m m Horseradish is particularly adapted to moist or low spots and does not require much attention after the roots have been planted. A row of strawberries should be found in every permanent garden. Where a small quantity is grown, the berries may be mulched, fertilized and the soil watered, if dry weather occurs when the barries are

In the face of salary cuts and decreased appropriations for boeks they have carried on and made their libraries a refuge and center for many people who sorely needed friendly contacts. As I grow older I am more and more impressed by the unsung heroes of the world and wish that someone would write an epic about those who carry the brunt of the world’s work on their shoulders and receive little attention in return. I saw one item in the morning paper which filled me with Joy. A congressional committee is solemnly deciding that the government shall ap-

Raspberries and blackberries are set 16 to 20 inches apart in rows, with the rows five to six feet apart. By pruning and thinning every year, plants will be kept within their

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor THIS little Kappa lady, Jean Mitchell, of sophomoric fame at Butler, is all anticipation over the prospects of the Tulip Time Ball! For this gala event she has selected a tulip-red tissue paper sheer organza evening frock embroidered in twinkling white stars. The double-tiered puffed sleeves are as flowerlike and young as their wearer.

Nothing this spring can outsmart the trim, school-girlish white pique piped belt and the long, swishing skirt with tulip-red taffeta slip. She chins herself with a cluster of white-centered daisies ingenuously made of red starched pique; matches her gown with tulip-red taffeta and clasps her wrists with a triple strand of pearls adorned by a turquoise circle fastening . . . and stands by ready to go into her dance! Sheer fabrics are tops for afterdark wear at this festive Eastertide. Splashes of multicolored flowers in all the sun-shoo garden colors will bloom in profusion. Taffeta petticoats will rustle ’round trim ankles. Diaphanous nets

and meshes will trail gracefully a step or two ahead of eager pursuers in the most select ballrooms everywhere. MISS COCHRANE IS RE-ELECTED Miss Anna Louise Cochrane has been re-elected president of Alpha Gamma Latreian. Other officers are Miss Marie Jeffries, vice president; Miss Mary Helen Borcherding, recording secretary; Miss Alice Dimmick, xorresponding secretary; Mrs. Omar Hilton, treasurer, and Miss Zona Brendle, historian.

Some of the new cot- || ton laces have gone Vi Gibson girl with <7 / jackets of the high-and-wide shoulders and tapering sleeves. Rustling taffeta slips are the decidedly pert feature of these dresses. See them, hear them, feel them. One dainty jacket dress I thought was very sweet in navy, contrasted with collar of dusty pink pique fagoting. These laces are just the trick for Easter especially the lovely lilac shades. Wear them for dress, you see, and later for street. So practical and yet how dressed up we’ll feel in luxurious lace. The prices are equally attractive . . . just $6.95 to $14.95.
