How to grow Chrysanthemums
C. F. LAWRANCE
Although chrysanthemums belong to the autumn and flower towards the coming of the frosts, the growing of them belongs to the summer and the spring. They may be planted out now, and in one way and another have to be cared for until flowering time. When the frosts draw near, many are brought in to flower in house and greenhouse.
Mr. Lawrance is to tell you all about this delightful flower which, with its many petals and rich colouring and aromatic perfume, is known to everyone. He will discuss propagation ; planting ; manuring ; staking and tying, and disbudding. He will name some of the best varieties for outdoor culture and give advice about such things as pests and diseases, protecting the plants during the winter, and wire-pots and lifting.

The Lord Tyrrell of Avon, G.C.B., G.C.M.G.
In a modern community some form of control will usually be demanded, not as a means of ‘improving’ films, but to exclude films that offend public opinion of the day. Should such control be official or unofficial ? In England there is a compromise. The British Board of Film Censors is an unofficial body established by the cinematograph trade, but completely independent in its decisions. Its decisions have been adopted by the Local Licensing Authority, the Council of a County, or a County Borough. Most Authorities accept the decision of this board, but they can always resume their independence of judgment, and sometimes do so. They derive their authority from the Cinematograph Act of 1909, which empowers the Home Secretary to make
regulations.
Lord Tyrell of Avon has been President of the British Board of Film Censors since 1935.

Delius's third Violin Sonata belongs to the last group of works that were completed, with the aid of Eric Fenby , in 1930. 'The incessant flow of the music says Cecil Gray , ' is perhaps the most noteworthy characteristi.c of Delius's chamber music. He hardly allows either of the players to take breath, metaphorically speaking, from beginning to end of the respective works, and the moments of repose, in a mental as well as in a physical sense, are few and far between. '
Schumann's Violin Sonata in D minor, Op. 121, is the second of two sonatas composed at Diisseldorf in 1851. The public performance took place at Leipzig in 1854. In a letter to a friend Joachim wrote: ‘To me, it is one of the finest creations of modern times, in the wonderful unity of its feeling and the significance of its themes. It is full of a noble passion-almost harsh and bitter in its expression-and the last movement might almost remind one of a seascape, with its glorious waves of sound. '
