if the tiny sprouts do not show them-

You can save considerable garden money and add new zest to your gardening 1
by growing your own perennial flowers from seed. The best quality seeds cost 2

bring color and beauty to the garden for years to come. Most perennials grown '
from seed bloom the second year after sowing. ’ 5

As part of the plan to speed trains
smoothly and safely over its 15,000
miles of railways between the Gulf
Coast and the Pacific Coast, South-
ern Pacific has invested many mil-
of flnl!nr\ in improving frock?
and roadbeds. Heavier rail has been
laid, stronger bridges constructed,
grades reduced, curvatures eased,
terminals enlarged and passing
tracks extended. Special test cars,
equipped with the latest types of
scientific instruments, maintain a
constant watch over rails, searching
for possible flaws. Southern Pacific
has its own research laboratory to
test the performance of its equip-
ment and materials.
Passenger schedules on all principal
routes have been drastically short-
ened .and services improved to give
greater comfort and safety to our
travelers. Many of Southern Pacific's
transcontinental limiteds are now
running on the fastest schedules in
their'history.

The STAR is authorized to an-
nounce the following as candi-
dates in the Democratie Primary
in July, 1948:
one cozy wintry evening I an-
nounced to the Man of the House
that my dream home was ready—
on paper—from doorknobs to book
alcoves. Naturally, I agreed mag-
nanimously, plans were subject to
. extensive alterations to suit his
pleasure. Well. The cad took a
quick look and guffawed!
It appears you can't have run-
ning water where you want it with-
out pipes. But, you can have water
where you don t want it unless you j
have such unromantic-sounding •
things as gutters, downspouts and
flashings. The first two “things'',
my spouse informed me, conduct
water from the reef-while flashings
prevent leakage at joints such as
where the roof meets the chimney.
To top off my chagrin, the Ever
Wise produced booklets, pamphlets
and the summary of a talk he had
had with an architect friend, all
concerning safeguarding the home
with copper and brass. :
---Patiently he explained that cop- 1
per tube and red brass pipe are
sturdy, rust-free and resistant to
corrosion. "Se?" I asked, "still a
little hurt. "Look", says he, "good
brass and copper plumbing will
deliver rust-free water for more
years than you can think about
Furthermore, when about 50 tons
of water fall on the average roof
spouts have to be good The best
is none too good for the Stuarts,
and that means copper " '
, I was pleased as wedding punch
to know he had carefully planned ,
for our future home—and told him
so But no matter what anyone
says, leave it to a man to have the
last word I was just drifting off to
sweet dreams when he brought
I forth the clincher “And another
j thing—copper piping that brought I
water to Egyptian Pharoahs more
