Those who like violets need not wait until spring for these delicately scented plants to bloom. After the plants have been located, they can be brought indoors, placed in water, and forced to- produce flowers premature ly.

"I especially like the deep reds and pinks, and it is interesting to watch the delicate shades which come out with the blooming period." Pussy willow and alder are among the easiest plants to force, the home beautification specialist pointed out. Maple limbs are also easy to force and produce a pleaBing effect when placed in a copper pitcher.

It has fewer modem sub marines than any nation in the world.

The development is taken as an indi cation that the Reciprocal , Trade agreement with Great Britain will al ter economic relations of the British Empire and make it desirable for the Dominion to negotiate similar pacts. Canada and the United States will soon begin work on new Reciprocal Trade'' agreement.:. Modification of the existing pact with Great Britain may altar- the value of concessions made by both countries In the Cana dian agreement. Moreover, trade ex perts - in 'Canada and , Hie -United States give credit vto the agreement for t major portion of increased trade and urge that its scope be enlarged; A study of the present business re cessiofl, made by the Brookings In stitution, presents the conclusion that it was due primarily to the "aggres sive Labor movements" which began in the first ' quarter of ! 19S6 and re sulted In reduced hours and, higher wages without regard to production. Dr.' Harold G.. Moulton,. president, says that to restore the standards of living attained ' In 1939, the nation would have to produce about 82 . bil lion dollars worth ; of durable goods annually. This is an increase of six ty per cent over the 21 hillion dol lars of. such goods produced in 1929 and. according to the survey, would call for eight to nine million addi tional workers. - ' tVj; 1 & BATHE HEART ' London.t-111 oir pneumonia, 'physt dans found the heart of Geoffrey Kniffht, 2, enlarged to three times its normal- size by fluid pressing on the organ, Surgeons cut aw 7 t-o of the child's ribs. sput. tne per.--' .ui sat inclosing the heart and ed C covered portions to the chc:t wf'1 t. nl drainage.

Holiday." 'Set at the turn of the century, Miss West's latest adventure is the story of a girl with a penchant for selling the Brooklyn Bridge to unsus pecting strangers, an idiocyncracy which gets her into difficulties with the police, particularly Edmund Lowe, a detective. Lowe is assigned to the task of "bringing in" the elusive Miss West, a job which is not an easy one for him since he happens to be in love with her. Also seeking Miss West is Walter Catlett, a theatrical producer who wants her to head a new show. It then becomes necessary for Miss West to don a black wig, acquire a French accent and become "Mile. Fifl," an actress who takes the town by storm. "Mile. Fifl" becomes involved in a better government crusade before the picture comes to its hectic finish an election which sweeps Lowe into office on a reform ticket. The cast oz hrilliant players in "Every Day's a Holiday," includes Charles Butte rworth, . Charles Win- ninger, famed "Cap'n Henry" of "Show Boat," Lloyd Nolan, Herman Bing, Chester Conklin, Louis Arm strong and his Orchestra, and many others. "Every Day's a Holiday" is from an original story by Miss West her self. It was directed Sutherland and produced by Emanuel Cohen. TUESDAY ONLY MR.

Not only the great success of "The Story of Louis Pasteur," with Paul Muni in the title role, but also the powerful drama of Zola's pic turesque career as a moulder of pub-; UCiOpjOWn in France, influenced the studio m making this picture. Muni, who won the Academy Award for his Pasteur effort, also has the title role in "Zola." Zola was France's first great natur alistic novelist. His most sensational work was "I Accuse" in which he viciously at tacked everyone who had any part in the condemnation and imprison ment of Dreyfus. He had become convinced of the officer's innocence, and with charac teristic vigor attacked the powerful military hierarchy with all the strength at his command. "I Ac cuse" was deliberately written to pro voke a libel suit. Joseph Schildkraut, boyhood friend of Muni in Vienna, has the role of Dreyfus. There are many noted players in the cast, in addition to Muni and Schildkraut. Forcing Produces Blooms In Winter Bringing a dash of spring into the home during winter months by for cing flowering shrubs to bloom pre maturely can be accomplished by any one declares Miss Pauline Smith, home beautification specialist at State College.
