Spray for the Trees.

1t Is encouraging news to the Wash
ington public that the authorities will
begin early the fight against the pests
that in previous years have done much
damage to the trees Of the city, and
which threaten the ruin particularly of
the elms and naples. The District has
purchased a gasoline spraying machine
similar TO the type adopted by Massa-
chusetts i'm the warfare against tree
deVouring insects. The machine re-
ceived its trial yesterday. and the ex-
perts view its working hopefully.
All good citizens should cooperate
with The authorities in the efforts to
protect Washington's trees. Washing
ton il beautiful city. largely because
of the arCadcS and lanes of trees in the
streets and the trees and flowers of the
parks OF course, it has other elements
of beauty, but strip Washington of its
trees and flowers, and it would not be
more attractive than a number of other
cities.
The campaign planned against the
caterpillar and other leaf-eating crea-
lures will be watched with interest, and
IL is the belief and trust of Washing
tonians that the anti-pest campaign
will win.

Santo Domingo. and that Jean Moot.
French ambassador to Lisbon, carried the
habit into France about 1860. 1t was be-
lieved that Sir Francis Drake took tobacco
and Indian pipes to England in 1855, and
that Sir Walter Raleigh made pipe smok-
ing fashionable in court circles. 1t was
believed that the habit was introduced
into Constantinople by Europeans. and
from that place began its conquest of the
east. However. the latest writer OF his
tory, who is emphatic in his affirmatlons
is generally credited. and smokers PROB
ably will confess that all along they have
been wrong.
1t is still permissible, however. to stick
to the belief that the first commercial
tobacco was grown in the gardens oil
jamestown, that John Rolfe, who led the
fair or dusky Pocahontas to the altar
had a tobacco field at Jamestown. and
that soon after the founding of this an
cient town tobacco cultivation was un-
dertaken in Holland. Spain and Italy

Garden Contests.

The garden contest idea is steadily
gaining favor as a means of heightening
the pleasure of city life. interesting citi-
zens in a simple health-giving pastime
and adjoining cities. There are few cities
in which lawn contests, flower garden
contests and the like are not being pro-
NOTED by civic societies. Tacoma has
adopted this plan for city Improvement,
and the civic department of the woman's
club of that Pacific coast city has insti-
tuted trial of the skill and patience
of the school children in growing flowers
and vegetables. 1t is reported that good
results are already apparent. 1t is said
that thousands Of children are at work
with spade. rake and hoe, and that the
home sections of the city have taken on
an especially thrifty look.
Some cities are encouraging the citi-
zens to turn all waste spots Of land to
account in the cultivation of vegetables
and flowers, and a general response is
being made to the idea. Even if city
gardening is a fad it is a good fad.

The James-Paynter Race.

Representative Ollie James aspires to
the seat in the Senate now occupied by
Mr.. Paynter. and Mr.. Paynter aspires to
succeed himself. The democratic nomi-
nation for the Office will be made at q
primary to be held early in July. Much
interest in the contest already existed.
but since last Monday, when Mr. James
formally opened his campaign in a speech
it has been greatly increased If mat
tiers proceed as they hsve begun there
will undoubtedly be hot time in the
bluegrass country right up to polling day.
1t was Mr.. James opening meeting, and
ne had invited his opponent to be pres

kindly tone. declined. Az both Mr.. James
and himself were democrats, subscribing
TO tie same party policies. he doubted IL
any party good would follow a joint de-
bate between them. So Mr.. James had
the meeting all to himself.
But, though absent in person, Mr.. Payn-
ter was present I'm the shape of his SEN

Automobiles are bringing to Washing
ton news that there are roads in southern
Maryland which are not so bad after all.
They report a decrease in the number Of
tilank-you-marms" and such things,
which disturb the temper and impede the
pace, and say the roads are fair.
The good roads or the better roads idea
has impressed Itself on Maryland. Dur
ing the generation there has been gradual
Improvement in the highways southwark
from Washington on the east bank of the
Potomac. There has been little idea Of
creating boulevards or automobile speed
ways, but the people down there have
been spending county funds as county
finances would afford in putting the roads
into such condition that wagons may
carry full loads and that the people do
not need to go to church on horseback.
This road improvement has been grad
ual, and has gone ahead mainly in making
old roads easier to travel over than in
building new roads. There has been
much reduction Of the grades by lowering
the road where 1T crosses a ridge and by
raising it where it crosses the valleys.
Many bridges have been constructed over
streams which formerly were forded and
which were sometimes dangerous after
heavy rains.
One Of the main roads from Washing
ton to southern Maryland is that which
passes from Good Hope by Silver Hill,
Camp Springs. Surrattsville and Brandy
wine. This road was very hilly ten years
ago. Now the grades are easy. The road
leading south and paralleling the Poto-
mac from Congress Heights through
New Glatz and Piscataway has some
rough and hilly stretches. but it has been
improved and is improving. The roads
leading south and southeast from Wash
ington cross a country of high ridges and
deep valleys secured out by water
courses which have a trend from north
east to southwest

The historical iconoclast is a busy man.
He keeps men occupied in unlearning his
tory they have learned. Now comes a
French writer in a French paper who
saws that tobacco was used in Europe be-
fore the discovery Of America, that the
Modes and Persians smoked tobacco in
narghiles ages before the sprouting of
the trees from which the Nina, the Pinta
and the Maria Teresa were constructed,
that tobacco reek was familiar in the
colonies of the Greeks and Romans, and
that cigars and cigarettes were in COM
mon use by natives and aliens in the
Indies before Columbus thought of get
ting there by sailing west. The word
cigar is now said to come from an Arab
word sahara" meaning smoke.
1t may or may not be recalled by most
smokers that on the first voyage of Co
lumbus two of his sailors returning to the
ships reported that they had seen natives
with firebrands In their mouths and
smoke issuing from their lips and nos
trils. On the second voyage natives were
found who pulverized dry tobacco leaves
and snuffed the powder up their noses.
1t is reported that when Columbus reach
ed the mainland natives were found who
"chewed" the weed. Though the earlier
American explorers found tobacco in
common use among the aborIgines from
Hudson bay to Cape Horn, it has pop
ularIy been believed that tobacco was
something of a novelty in the old world.
and that the people of those parts were
indebted TO the people of these parts for
the requirement Of the benign or
abominable habit.
I'D TO the recent writing by the French
historian referred to one had cherished
the idea that Hernandez de Toledo intro
duced the smoking habit into Spain and
Portugal in 1853, bringing the tobacco from
