A
CHARMING DORMITORY ROOM
. In this delightful dormitory room the striking wall-paper panels make a very debonair
screen with their sporting scenes. And young collegians who find that they don’t have
enough closet space have learned that the corner which is closed off by the attractive
screen makes a swell dumping place for those awkward, bulky things like golf clubs,
tennis rackets, ice skates and unused luggage.

OCTOBER SHOULD BE BUSY MONTH
FOR GARDENERS
OCTOBER finds the gardener
still working outdoors. There is
much to be done now in the way
of protecting plants and pre-
paring for the spring.
It’s time to examine the stems
and leaves of late flowering
plants for small insects known
as plant lice, or aphids. You
should look for them also on the
evergreens. Aphids generally
come in clusters and may be
white, black, yellow, green, or
red in color. They suck plant
juices and sometimes destroy
the flower. Use a nicotine spray
to kill them. Speaking of ever-
greens, October is the month for
watering them.
Examine your ‘lilacs for the
scale insects. Like aphids, scale
insects suck juices. A spray of
miscible oil or lime-sulphur will
kill them. Miscible oil is cleaner
than lime-sulphur because it
will not stain paint.
You can do much to prevent
insect destruction next year if
you burn the dead stalks of
perennials now.
In regions where winters are
cold, rose beds must be given
protection at the end of October.
Soak them first with water and
then hill earth about them as
high as possible. Use straw or
leaves to fill in the hollows of
the bed. «The tops may be cove
ered with evergreen boughs,
straw, or wire netting. This
cover, or mulch, will protect the
beds during changes in tempera-
ture and will keep the plants
dry. Remove it gradually in the
spring.
If you want parsley for the
winter, pot some now in good
soil and place it in a sunny win-
dow of your kitchen. Be sure to
keep it watered.
Sweet Peas are planted so
early in the spring that it is
best to dig the trench for them
jn October. Dig it about three
feet deep in rich soil in an open
sunny place, and mix the soil
well with manure.
Give lawn a top dressing this
month. Equal parts of manure,
sand, and topsoil are best. Use
a top dressing with a higher
percentage of sand if your lawn
soil has a high clay content. If
your lawn soil is very sandy, use
a top dressing rich in clay.
October is also an excellent
time to get your tools in order
for next spring. You'll look for-
ward with enthusiasm to next
spring’s work if your repairing
and purchasing are done now.
With winter coming on, you've
probably been adding to your
house plants and wondering a
little how well they will thrive.
Be careful abou: watering them.
House plants do not have to
be watered every day but should
be watered regularly. Apply
‘water directly to the soil, but
use a frequent fine spray on the
foliage. The water should not
come over the rim of the pot.
While the plants are wet, keep
them out of the sunlight.
Plants live best indoors in a
temperature between 40 to 60
degrees. They should mot be
kept in a room over 70 degrees
or under 55 degrees. Plants are
healthier when humidity is high.
You can raise the humidity by
keeping water pans in furnaces
well filled and by keeping pans
of water on radiators.
It’s a good idea to have a
cool’ place set aside especially
for plants, where they may be
kept all the time.

LITTLE EXTRAS ADD HOME TOUCH
TO DORMITORY ROOM
SON AND DAUGHTER, who
have left for college, have just
had time to get settled by now,
and it won’t be long before
they’ll be writing letters some-
thing like this:
“It’s really swell here—
but the dormitories—well,
you know how they are,
nothing but the barest ne-
cessities. I wonder if you
And from that point on you'll
learn that they need curtains,
rugs, lamps, ete, and most of
all they need suggestions for
fixing up their new dormitory
home. .
Dormitories usually supply
only the grim necessities—bed,
dresser, chair, study table, but
that’s all. Included in a college
“trousseau” there must be
sheets, blankets, bed cover, cur-
tains, towels, rugs, lamps .and
any other extras a fellow may
wish.
And here’s a clever trick that
some ,0f our young college
friends have told us about. You
know how much junk you seem
to collect around school—and
how small college closets always
are. Well, the answer to that is
a screen for one corner of the
room—a screen to be covered
with one of the more brazen wall
papers. Big dramatic sporting
panels make stunning screens]
for college rooms; so do map)
designs and some of the slightly)
ribald game room designs.
The space behind the screemw’
can be used as a general dump
—although then it’s apt to get te
be too much of a catch-all. For
a student who is a fairly well
organized soul it’s better to use
the space for some specific pur=
pose—for sporting equipment iff
the owner is an ardent athlete, '
ARE YOU planning to re-
furnish this fall? Then send
