RARE GARDEN PLANTS

For the lover of a beautiful garden
with rare, exotic and different sort
of growing things therein, Ernest II.
Wilson has written 'Aristocrats of
the Garden" published by Doubleday,
Page & Co.
Few men are better able to talk of
these garden aristoerats" than Mr..
Wilson, who has travelled in China
and Japan in collecting garden rari-
ties and worked in the important
gardens and nurseries of Europe and
America.
In this new book Mr.. Wilson tells
of the wonderful and beautiful ma
terial in hardy plants and shrubs now
made available for American gardens
and, at the same time, focuses at
tention on the most worth while plants
known and tried out but unfortunate
ly not Vet really popularized. There is
a pleasing persolSl atmosphere also
given to the book by occasional ac-
counts of Mr.. Wilson's own experiences
in plant hunting and travel, which
includes an account of exploring for
the Dove tree.
S. s. Mcclure, who has recently re-
turned from a trip through Europe
says it is very difficult for Americans
to grasp the Turkish viewpoint AS an
illustration, he gives in his forthcom-
ing book, -"Obstacles to Peace, :"
(Houghton Mifflin Company, the fol-
lowing anecdotes:
Among the notables I met in Con
stantinople was the Grand Nizier,
said to him that Turkey was at the
dawn, that her resources We're far less
developed than those of even the Unit
ed States and that Turkey and Eng
land were among the oldest countries
in Europe.
Yes" he said. "BSs you cannot
compare England to Turkey England
has had no such glorious history as
Turkey. What was England three CEN
turies ago?"
This is a wonderful city" I said.
"The finest in the world" he re-
piled. "That is why they all want it.
That is why we have to fight to keep
it."
In the guard-room, at the entrance
to the palace of the Grand Vizier, I
noticed a splendid-looking officer in
charge of the guard-a regular DAr-
tagnan. 1 learned that he was a Kurd

in, including recent fighting at the

said to him, i've heard. terrible
things about your people,"
He became very serious and an
swered me by saying that his people
had no chance; that the Kurds were
far from the culture of Europe, sur
rounded by barbarians-such as Rus
slams and Anatolians-but that now
they would have better opportunities.

An employee of the Olympia Door
Factory, who had worked for the
concern 10 years, was dismissed last
week because he had advanced the
suggestion that the men should de-
mand an eight-hour day and slight
increases in pay. This action upon
the part of the management brought
to a head the sense of injustice that
had ranked in the minds of the men
for some time and most of the en-
ployes quit.
The factory has been operating on
a ten-hour basis at wage of ~.
Recently the men were given raise
in wages of 20 cents a day. They
have been getting $2.2O for 10 hours
work. but in order to emphasize that
the raise is only temporary affair,
time slips are made to read IL hours,
which, of course, is the surface indi'
cation that the old rate Of 20 cents
an hour prevails. Many Of the men
were doing work which comes under
the Jurisdiction Of the Carpenters
union and under organised working
conditions they were entitled to q

In the local dailies the manager OF
the institution thus unburdens him
self with regard to his faithless en-
ployes, using literally that moth
eaten discredited term, "agitator":
Apparently some of the men were
Influenced by these agitators," said
George Aetzel, vice-president Of the
company. THE men made no de.
mands on us and did not state any
grievances. There seems to be no
leader among them. Several of the
men are union, though not all of
them"
This is just a part Of the prevail
ing condition of unrest and discon
tent" said Mr.. Aetzel.
Strike leaders have been at work
among the employees of the mill for
several weeks. In the group of APP
proximately 200 outsiders who COL
lected around the workmen this
morning were a number from the
shipyards, according to Mr.. Aetzcl.
Although the work at the mill has
not been stopped 1t is feared by the
company that the feeling will be
spread among the rest of the en-
ployes, Mr.. Aetzel says.

an insignia the Greek cross in red on
white ground. The president of
the United States was made it's presi-
dent. 1t was required to report an
nually to the war department de-
tailed statement of its receipts and
expenditures. Its funds were to be
derived from contributions and GER
tain proportion of fees paid for men,
berships. Only per cent of such
moneys could be used for expenses.
(Not more than l " per cent has
been used.) 1t was to publish month
ly a magazine devoted to Red Cross
interests.
Since its organization the Ameri-
can Red Cross has received and ex-
pended more than $15,000,000.
Some of it's largest expenditures
were the following: San Francisco
earthquake and fire, $3,00O,000:
Messina earthquake, $985.000; the
Titanic wreck, $125,O00; Ohio food,
$2,5OO,0O0; Eastland steamship dis
aster, $4,000; European war, S2.-
100000. About $50 different dona-
lions have been made by it.
I These funds were practically all
derived from contributions. At the
time of our declaration of war the
Red Cross membership in the United
States was smaller than that of any
other large country. Japan had ;
membership of 100000; Germany
100000; Russia, 100000, an
the United States only 100000. Blu
