But they also peed certain chemical elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, to do their work properly. 2 The constantly growing numpers of organic gardeners believe that we get good soil, good vegetables and good health only when we add these chemical elements in organic materials. From observation I lean to their theory. But I believe chemical fertilizers are helpful under certain conditions. They're helpful to the backvard gardener who has a hose handy. They're useful during the period he’s building his soil with plenty of organic material. Whatever your opinion on that, you cannot garden for long without realizing that soil is nature's factory—and a very complex one. You cannot upset nature's balance without

Heart Murmur Often Is

Not Dangerous

. Rheumatic Fever Is Sometimes Cause By EDWIN P JORDAN, M. D. THERE is a great deal of much of it unnecessary. Part

heart murmur. There are four chambers in the heart which contain blood. The muscular walls of these chambers contract and force the blood from one into the other. Valves keep the blood from flow-

ling back into the chamber from; which the blood has just been

expelled. If these vaives fail to hold the blood back as they should, some of the blood goes the wrong way. When the doctor listens over the heart in such cases he hears a sort of rushing -sound which is called a murmur. ” = » IN SOME children of the heart and valves do not quite keep in step so that a

‘Men and Women—

By ERNEST E. BLAU A LOT OF YOUNG, girlkeen GI's back from Europe brought with them some strictly masculine mental pictures of foreign babes which they can compare with American girls. = Can our little gals learn something from them? Well, according to a sergeant who speaks for a group of his buddies, the men agree as follows: In looks, American girls are way out ahead — better faces, legs, figures. + They're better groomed, too —especially teeth and hair, and are snapplier dressers. ® 'w » THE English dames wear clothes that don't fit so well. But the American gal's voice,

after listening to the English, is too high pitched and twangy. And the English date acts more mature and genuine. American gals want too much entertainment, daneing, theater, movies, dining. ‘The men say the foreign dolls try harder ‘to please men—which makes them saps, in our opinion. All-around sex appeal? French gals have it most, Americans second, English third. As the sergeant remarked, “French women

have a sort of light in their eyes.” ! But there's a payoff: Every GI in the group, except one, wanted to marry an Amerfean.

Its furniture with another distinction, too ~~ the homemaker has a number of woods from which to choose. i The woods Include frosted oak (a natural finish) and | black, red and green rubbed pieces. There is a variety of fabric patterns, too. They come | in plain with a modern bordered effect, another plain only, one that's plaid and a fourth with an all-over pattern de- | sign. The colors have taken their cue from the California landscapes—but they're practical, too, for they'll biend with basic home furnishing shades, There is a gamut of colors-—-greens, including lime, kelly and olive; | grey, chartreuse and ruby red. It's possible to furnish a | number of type rooms from the selection available. A: Chippindale period room would gain a contemporary note with the addition of “ming” pieces from the California selection. (The sofa of this group is a Lawson- | type and is standard size.) A rounded sectional sofa | and an ultra-modern one are others included in the group. Designed to ‘blend with any of these types are straight, desktype chairs, tables and plastic- { upholstered arm chairs, - | The desk chairs are upholstered in fabrics to match the sofas and the plastic chairs are done in colors that match | or blend with the more im- | portant pieces, The plastic upholstery is | washable and guaranteed for | long wear. | The tables are unusual.
