you can move along a row tapping the
packet regularly and the seed will
trickle out as fast and as thickly or
as slowly and as thinly as you desire
This is much easier way than try
ing to take pinch of seed between
the thumb and forefnger and scat
ter it.
When seed is very fine, mix two or
three times it's bulk of fine sand with
it, and this will serve to distribute it
thinly enough. With very fine seeds
that pour out too rapidly some such
device is necessary. The sand also
fills the useful purpose of showing
where the seed has been sown if you
are broadcasting it and want an even
distribution.
With very fine seed no soil covering
should be used, Nbut the seed should be
pressed firmly into the soil with a
brick, smooth block of wood or some
similar device. Mere contact with the
soil is sufficient to promote germina-
ton il proper moisture is provided
Covering with soil is likely to smother
the seedlings.

ApoLoGIzING FOR TARIFF

If the G. O. p. tariff act is the
desirable bit of legislation its
sponsors have tried to make the
country believe, why do they
seek to minimize it instead of
Boosting of its effect? What
would be the excuse for a pro-
tective tariff that did not main
tain or advance prices?
President Harding had the
tariff commission look into the
subject in connection with the
rise of the price of sugar, and the
commission rendered its opinion
that the tariff is not responsible
for the recent jump in sugar
prices. But the news account
also set forth: "The commission
added, however, that the tariff of
nearly two cents a pound on
Cuban raw sugar is at present in
cluded in the wholesale and re-
tail price of granulated."
While nobody blames the tariff
for the whole. advance that has
been made in the price of sugar,
the statement of the commission
shows that it accounts for some
of the increase. But no one real
ly should be surprised at that,
for the measure operated just as
expected. The only occasion for
comment on that feature now is
that some of sthose responsible
for the Fordney-McCumber act
attempt to ignore the effect or to
minimize il.

Aubrey's Famous Rides
BY Edwin y. Sabin

Francis X. Aubrey, an adventur-
our French Canadian out of st. Louis,
was an early-day freighter upon the
old Santa Fe Trail, with headquar-
tiers at Santa Fe. In 1852 he wag-
cred that he could ride horseback
IRONS Santa Fe to Independence, Mis-
souri,. eight hundred miles, in ten
days. And that he did, making the
trip in trifie over eight days, but
pretty well used up at the end
The next year, 1853, he again wag-
cred, this time one thousand dollars,
that he could ride the eight hundred
miles within eight days. And that
he did. and more; for his time was
only five days, sixteen hours.
Upon this trail as it was in the
Fifties an automobile would be in
straits to do the job with one driver
constantly at wheel and throttle
Aubrey was compelled to ride day
and night, reckless of Indians At
times he was so stiff that he had to
be lifted from the saddle. He killed
a number of horses. His mare Nellie
carried him one hundred and fifty
miles without relay, and dropped

of sufficient length TO penetrate, as
they are likely TO warp after the seeds
have been planted and spread away
from the earth. This may also be
checked by binding three or four
strands Of wire tightly about the box
before the seeds are planted.
Four holes should be bored in the
bottom of the box for drainage, as in
the fats. While a cigar box does not
hold as much seed as the fiat, il will
grow a comparatively large number
OF plants, often all the average gar
dener will want, especially tomatoes.
peppers or elephants.
Where only a few plants are de-
sired a flower pot is ideal, being built
for drainage and for economy of
space. Also it does not dry out quick
ly. The ten-inch pots will hold eight
plants of large growing plants like
castor beans, cucumbers, or melons,
and the plants may be allowed to re-
main until ready to transplant into
the open provided only the seeds are
spaced in the pot when planted SO
they will not crowd for some time af-
ter termination
Panes of glass to cover flats, cigar
boxes and pots are to be recommend
ed. although not essential. The glass
prevents too rapid evaporation and
controls the danger of the seeds dry
ing out. Paper cut to fit or cloths
which may be kept moistened may be
used to cover the seed boxes, watch
ing carefully until termination be-
gins, when they should be removed
at once. The seed boxes not to be
exposed to the light until the seed
lings begin to prick through.

WHEN CITIES GROW UP

According to the department of
political economy of the Univer-
sity of Chicago that city is des..
tined to be the third largest in
the world. The professors, after
careful calculations, concede that
London and New York will prob
ably continue to occupy the po-
sitions OF first and second. Cen
sus figures indicate that Berlin
and Paris now lead Chicago, but
this is not to be for long.
The country will be somewhat
amazed at the moderation of Chi
cago's ambition. To be satisfied
with anything short of first place
is not like the Chicago of" olden
days. AT the time of her Worlds
Fair she was confidently looking
forward to displacing New York
as the nations metropolis. Mod
esty is an attribute of age. as
boastful ambition belongs to
youth. In her younger days Chi
cago thought solely of size, and
all her energies were directed to
growing as large as possible in
the shortest possible time. With
years she has acquired wisdom,
and she is now seeking to be
great rather than to be merely
large.
In contrast to Chicago, there is
Los Angeles. The California city
is still in the stage of early youth.
and bigness is her dearest desire.
Thus the Los Angeles Times re-
fers to its city's spirited COM
petition" with Chicago: There
are optimistic parents in this city
today who expect their children
to live in the foremost city OF
the globe-and this without NOV
ing out OF the Wiltshire district.
Even now they are considering
New York and Chicago as the
only competitors of the early
future"
1t is, OF course. useless to rea-
son with anyone possessing such
"delusions OF grandeur" but
there is hope that after she gets
bigger. and older, Los Angeles
will then try to be better. too.

LETTER TO EDITOR
Urges Bond Issue To Provide Funds
For Permanent Dams At Plant OF
Annapolis Water Company. As
Proper Safeguard.

To the Editor Of the Erening caDitai.
Dear sir:-wili you allow me a
short space in your paper to call at
tention TO what seems TO me q very
important question at this time.
Yesterday afternoon visited the
City Water Works and found most
distressing condition Of affairs as 3
result of the terrific cloudburst on
Saturday evening last. Large por-
tons Of every dam have been washed
away; some of them almost entirely
Conditions are apparently much
worse than they were seven or eight
years ago. when cloudburst swept
away large sections OF the dams. This
is the second time since the city has
owned the works that this has hap
pened. II is liable TO happen again If
steps are not taken to make some per
manent structure there which cannot
be washed away with every overflow.
President Moss and the officials OF
the Water Company are doing every
thing possible to make temporary i'm
provements 80 that the pumps may
again fill the reservoirs, which are
now a little over half full And in
this connection it should be greatly
emphasized that the water should be
carefully used and not wasted. The
pumps may be able to run again in a
day or two, but If anything should
happen in the way of bad fire, the
situation is most dangerous There
are over fifty men, with horses, scoops
and carts, working to build a temper.
airy dam so that some water may be
pumped. That water of necessity will
be muddy-but better have muddy
water than none at all.
Now it does seem to me that the
time has arrived when steps should be
taken to make permanent dams at the
works. The plant seems a half-cen-
fury behind the times. Cannot some
thing be done under the Act of 1922
Chapter 349, in which the City Coun-
ell is given authority to issue bonds
to an amount not exceeding two hun
dred thousand dollars, under an ordi-
nance to be submitted to the voters
after thirty days notice? There is to
be an election for Mayor. Counsellor
and Aldermen in July next. Why no.
have the plans submitted now and
prepare the necessary ordinance to be
submitted at that election? 1t would
cost very little additional to place
the question on the ballot at this cleo
ton. and l am sure that it would be
favorably voted on If the people GRASP
the seriousness OF the situation. 1t is
said that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, but we know
to our sorrow that cloudbursts occur
In the same vicinity, and it has been
made necessary twice within eight
years for these earth dams to be re
built, at very great outlay. Why not
make them permanent? And give the
population of Annapolis and vicinity
the protection that is necessary.
Very truly yours.
