! By Robert C. Ruark +. Of Summertime.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18—The good old summertime seems about wrapped up for another year, and if you had to write a review in the season you'd have to knock it. If there would be any way to arrange it, I would be for the abolition of summer. I would try to work a longer spring and a longer fall. Summer is chiefly famous for June, a month in which love-addled youths allow themselves to be coaxed down the aisle by .scheming maids who

Summer is the time when people who hate fish go fishing, It is a season of fishhooks in fingers, sunburned noses, blistered backs, ivy rashes, hayfever sneezes, cut feet from swimming, broken necks from diving, hangovers from hard licker in the heat, drownings from sailing, concussions from being kicked by horses.

“One, thing I refused to do was appear in that jungle outfit on personal appearance tours,” he reflected.

It has been so designated because nobody does a lick of work from June 15 until midSeptember, anyhow, and so the hosses turn out the slaves to frolic in the fields.

Summer is famous for heat. It is a cheap preview of hell. You can’t work and you can’t sleep and you don't want to eat. If you are a man you are staggering around under a load of tight, hot clothes while the ladies are allowed to go halfnaked in public places. Summer is the time when the sun broils and scorches you all week in town, and when you go-away on the week end it rains. Summer is climaxed by Labor Day, when it starts to drizzle

If you go to the beach to wash off the sticky misery your dip is haunted by delightful thoughts of future paralysis. Summer is also the time when people get drowned and bitten by barracuda and eaten up by sharks and decorated by stinging nettles, Summer is a time of second-degree burn, poison ivy, and young bucks kicking sand in your face as they chase screaming girls through your picnic lunch. Summer is the time when everything is closed on the week ends, and when nearly all doctors go into hibernation. You could come down with multiple leprody, complicated with overtones of beriberi and lightning stroke, without being able to rouse a sawbones. They all seem to be playing golf in Westchester or shooting craps in the Catskills. Summer is evil-temper time. Best friends fight in the summer, Wives and husbands part. Murders are committed out of sheer nervous exhaustion. Black eyes abound. Dogs are licked. ® _ SUMMERTIME is summer-bachelor time. The old lady takes the children and shoves. off for someplace where it's cool, if the old man can afford it, and leaves him loose around the gin mills for five days a week. He gets tired of drinking away his boredom by himself, eventually, and fetches up with the pretty stenographer in the statistics section, or the first redhead who smiles at him in a saloon. This inevitably leads to strife. : Summer is the time when you are supposed to “be athletic; despite the smiting sun. People who do Sol generally blow théir own noses suddenly take

Dishing the Dirt By Marguerite Smith

Q—Should I use the same fertilizer for foliage plants indoors that I use for flowering plants? That is, should I use the high phosphate type of fertilizer when I want leaf growth on such plants as philodendron, ivy, etc. No name please. A—You won't hurt your foliage plants if vou use a flower garden fertilizer on them. For phosphates in the soil do other things for plant health besides encouraging bloom. But if vou want: rich green leaves you'll get them with a high nitrate diet. Foliage plants thrive specially on such fertilizers as you'd use for a lawn, on

Of course, the very best thing you can do for your house plants is to pot them up in the kind of soil mixture they each like, be sure it’s equipped with plenty of plant food, perly balanced.
