tions in representative northern gar
dens. He believes that Washington
can be made a splendid rose city
when the hone owners get acquainted
with some of the remarkable newer
forms at their disposal and discard
more and more the old fashioned
roses which do not make so good
show.
Mr.. Cross landscape plan is to try
out the practicability of a background
of pillar and high bush roses such as
the rugosa and hybrid sweetbriars. In
front of these he is arranging the
everblooming hybrid teas and teas and
in front of these the still more con-
stantly blooming polyantha species.
In addition to the roses he takes
particular pride in one of the largest
albizzia trees in this part of the coun-
try. This tree grows freely in the
South, but Washington is its northern
limit. Scattered about the yards of the
city there are several young trees, but
the one in Mr.. Cross yard, which he
found there when he started his land
scaping work, is more than SO feet
high and is completely covered for
about three months in the Summer
with pinkish white tassels, making it
a very conspicuous object on the eS-
tate.
Besides the rose garden is the per-
petual garden. The development of
this has been the particular work of
Mrs. Cross, assisted by Miss Rose
Greely, daughter of Gen. Greely. the
Arctic explorer. 1t involved a consid-
cradle engineering as well as land
scaping problem. 1t leads down from
the sunparlor between gray stone
walls to a pool which later will be
filled with water lilies. 1t is bordered
on both sides with beds of phlox, holy
hooks, pinks, chrysanthemums and
numerous other flowers, designed to
keep up a show of bloom from early
Spring to early November.

Mr.. Cross is experimenting with
climbers and has 40 or so varieties
along 500 feet of fence, as we'll as

houses at Bell, Nd, by the late DR..
w. Van Fleet, which include the Silver

he has had any success is climbing

Protective Association and founder
OF the organization. Mr.. Jackson has
been actively engaged in child welfare
work for the association for more than
a quarter of century. Through his
efforts branches of the association
have been established in many parts
of the south and these branches work
ing with city and state authorities have
been instrumental in creating many
juvenile courts and probation systems.
These agencies it was stated, have
reclaimed more than $4,000 children
during the past year, who otherwise
might have become confined criminals.
Parental neglect, and lack Of relig-
ious and other home training are as
signed by Mr.. Jackson to be the most
prolific causes of the precocious de-

the young.
Fault of Parents

portion of our youth does not go to

tions of the State, including diamonds
i'm Pike county, the only diamond field
i'm America. Many of these interest
ing minerals are described in the new
book Just issued by the Department of
Mines, Manufacture and Agriculture,
Minerals of Arkansas" For instance,
who knows anything about Vesuvian-
lite? Here is what Commissioner
Wilkes says about it:
Found in quantities upon the sides
of Mount Vesuvius, embedded in its
volcanic stones, Vesuvianite gets its
name. 1t is a silicate of calcium and
aluminium and appears in well develop
cd crystals. Yasuvianite is usually
brown or green, but where there is "A
trace of copper the crystals are sky
blue and the mineral is called cyprine.
Specimens of Vesuvianite, found in
Arkansas, have all come from Mont
gomery county and are emrald or blu
ish green in color. Vesuvianite Is not
mined in Arkansas. 1t has been found
either in surface rocks or embedded in
rock taken from wells or prospect
holes where the miner was searching
for other minerals. Vesuvianite is
easily cut, and is often used as a gem
or ornament. In the Piedmont sec
tiOn of the Carolinas, and in Califor-
mia, there are SOME companies which
mine Vesuvianite and cut it into set
tings for jewelry, but they are small
and employ but few miners to sever
them from the soil. Their market is
almost entirely local. If Vesuvianite
were plentiful, like quartz, it could be
easily made a profitable industry, as
the Montgomery county fields are close
to Hot Springs where the number of
tourist visitors, all souvenir buyers,
totals several hundred thousand an
nually."
