STUDY Of Park Shrubs Helpful.

It is a good plan to have some Of
the large shrubs in the corner Of che
lawn and smaller ones in between
should be in an. irregular line, with q
y tall specimen here and there near the
front, so the top line will not be too
straight. By visiting parks a study
can be made of the growing habits Of
the various shrubs. This will be found
helpful in deciding what plants will:
be best suited for certain, locations.
You will avoid such mistakes as plant
ing shrubs too close together and plant
ing the wide spreading varieties too
near the walk. Close planting may be
practiced, but 1t is usually necessary
to take up every other one within a
few years. Il plants are set near the

IIIAsHlNGTON. Because of the
w inadequacy of naval bases the
United States, according to navy ,au-
fhorities, is totally unprepared to fight
successful war in the western Pa
cific.
The most advanced base we now
possess is at Pearl Harbor, in the
Hawaiian islands. Its facilities, how
ever, are scarcely more than rudi-
mentary. With the exception of a
dry dock the equipment is insufficient
to care for the needs of half the navy
in time of peace, let alone the whole
navy in time of war. Another dry
dock and construction of a multitude
of channels and berths,. as; well as
the establishment of vast repair work
and storage warehouses for supplies,
are necessary, according to the Navy
department.. - '=sast

u. S. Pacific Naval Bases Inadequate

Until the Hawaiian islands are made
an adequate base the American navy
will be unable to- operate effectively
in the western Pacific. Lacking such
a base, it would be necessary to sup
ply the fighting fleet almost entirely
from the. Pacific coast bases, the dis
lance to which would be a severe
handicap on operations.
Even the Pacific coast bases are
inadequate to the demands Of the
whole navy if stationed in the Pacific,
even in time of peace. 1t would be
necessary TO send ships back to the
Atlantic coast for major repair work.
The Navy department is urging con-
gress for appropriations to begin the
construction of Pacific coast and
Hawaiian island bases which it will
require several years to complete. Inc
senate is favorable, but the house OPP
posed to such appropriations.
The Parks-McKean board, which
surveyed the needs of bases in the
Pacific, recommended. the expenditure
of $27, 1S4,O00 in the Hawaiian islands,
S44, O65, $50 at Bremerton, Wash, SAP,
313,2OO at San Francisco, S27, 1000
