THOUSANDS OF SEEDLING vegetable and flower plants are grown given tomorrow afternoon from 2 to

This necessitates arly transplanting before the seedlings are strong enough to be andled.

Keep seed box soil moist but not wet or waterlogged. Good drainage will take care of this, provided water: enough to :soak the soil is applied when needed, which is likely to be once a day. Give the seed box all the sunlight possible. If the seediings do not have sufficient light they Will reach for it, growing tall, spindly and weak. Humid air is also desirable for them; a kitchen window facing south is a good place for a seed box since the kitchen air usually has the most moisture. When the seedling plants have formed their second pair of leaves they may be transplanted to another box where they will have more. room.

I. U. Grads Are Featured in Magazine

Times Special

_ BLOOMINGTON, Feb. 11.-—Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Grills, two of Indiana University’s ‘alumni and former residents of Bloomington, are featured in ‘an 18-page article series appearing in the March issue of the Ladies’ Home Journal. The Grills, who ‘were married in the First Christian Church . here last: September, were selected as represenatives of young married couples who work and also go to school, for the “How America Lives” series which appears in the Ladies’ Home Journal each month. Mrs. Grills is the former Reva McMahon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. McMahon. She attended Indiana State Teachers’ College, Knox College and I. U. and worked in the comptroller’s office there. After arrival in New York last fall, she took a position at an information desk in Rockefeller Center. Mr. Grills, formerly of Hammond, has the B. S. degree, doctor of jurisprudence and master of laws degree from I, U. He was a -|member of the University’s School of Business faculty. He is now studying for his doctor of special jurisprudence degree on a fellowship to Columbia University. The Journal introduces the Grills to the magazine's readers immedjately upon their arrival in New York. Their adventures in furnishing an apartment, getting Mrs. Grills a job, their experience in bucking the high cost of living in a city and their plans for the future are related in the article. Entertainment Is Simple “Once a week the honeymooners throw caution to the winds and sally forth to eat an intriguing foreign dinner in one of New York's amazing variety of restaurants,” ‘the Journal says. “That is their pet recreation—legitimate theaters cost too much and you can see movies : lanywhere, so seeing them in New i | York is pointless. After a very leisurely Armenian or French or Swedish or Italian dinner, exploring dishes they never heard of before, they may wander up and down Fifth Ave. in an orgy of window shopping. The proceedings seldom cost as much as three dollars. “The Grills learned early that the New York night-spotting is invariably fatal. In their first few days they went with another fellow to the grill of a second-rate Broadway hotel and found themselves paying a check for $6.30 for nine small and watery drinks. Home was naver like that. “It takes the Grills 20 minutes of steady talking to get coffee with their dinner in lots of places they

and amusing ip your column, I am suggesting some letters from men on the type of women they prefer, blond or brunet, red head or brown. There is a saying that gentlemen prefer blonds; however,

I prefer brunets; but maybe I'm not a gentleman. How about it,

fellows? A penny, postal card won’t break you up. Let's see how the men readers of this column stand on the question of preference!

A BRUNET ADMIRER. .

ANSWER—In this day when complexion comes out of a bottie and girls can be blonds or.brunets at will, I shéuld think a discussion of character traits would be riore to the point. However, I will be glad to print opinions received in letters or on postal cards if men are interested enough to reply to your challenge.
