Navy officers like to tell about
the Macmillan plans up to the point
where the visitor begins to ask about
annexation Of the pole. Then,
"Shush on that talk" they cry. Its
the very thing we don't want to re-
mind the others Of"
The proposed way station at the
pole may develop into mighty in
teresting place. Travelling, say from
Chicago to Calcutta by the Polar
route, tourists naturally will want
to stop off for look at the earth's
hub, just as trains pause for awhile
at Niagara to let the passengers see
the falls. This raises the question:
Who will get the coffee and hot dog
concession? And if the United States
annexes the pole, will it be dry:
Last winter was a test winter. Was

secret is this: Browne took his tenn

It's one thing to talk about dis
charging superfluous government en-
ployes; something entirely different
to do it. Public Printer George H

him his job-may do so yet. Now

in this, the farmers forced the rail

DAHLIAS PLANTED NOW
WILL GET GOOD START

Dahlias should be planted now,
says Louis Sando, florist with the
division of horticulture at Uni
versity Farm. so they will have
opportunity to establish good
root system before the arrival of
hot weather. Successive plant
ings of gladioli are also recon-
mended. Planting at intervals of
two weeks. the flower gardener
should have blooms through the
entire season. Those who follow
ed this practice last year had
blossoms in the garden and house
until the approach of November
Unless there is severe cold it is
best to leave the peonies unco-
vered at night. says Mr.. Sando.
This will give the tender shoots a
chance to tougher gradually. Be
sides suitable covering material
is not usually handy, and more
damage may be done by covering
than a light frost would do.
On the other hand, asters and
other plants started indoors and
placed in cold frames outside
should have some protection on
chilly nights.

merely q gesture in taxation,
This is the crux of the whole
problem"
Both Secretary Mellon and
Vice President Dawes realize the
strategic Importance of the South
and are carrying their arguments
into this territory and talking
along non-partisan lines. Mr..
Mellon believes that "one of the
most promising aspects of the
whole tax controversy now before
the country is the wholesome re-
vival of interest in the division
of taxing powers between the
Federal and State Government"
Tax returns for the first quar-
ter indicate that the tax rates
will be slashed if the same per-
centage of returns prevail during
the balance of the year.
1t has been said that some little
anecdote gives to us some inter-
esting hint of the inner life of a
great man. The announcement
that President Coolidge will
spend the summer months at
Swampscott, Mass, brings many
questions from the public. What
does Mr.. Coolidge do for diver
sion?" is the principal inquiry.
Those who know the Chief Ex-
ecutive intimately say that he
would rather read history than
attend a play.
The story is told that while
Governor of Massachusetts,, Mr..
Coolidge on cool evenings would
draw his chair near the fireplace
and read for hours completely
detached from the other occu-
pants of the room. Their CONVEX
sation made no impression upon
him whatsoever. Mr.. Wilson
was given to the reading of de-
tective stories and trilling mar
ratives but required privacy to
concentrate. 1t has been aptly
said that there is no entertain
ment so cheap as reading, nor any
pleasuresso lasting. Mr.. Cool.
