NO. III.

James NJ. r. Adams, 230 Spruce ave
nue., Takoma Park, fell in love with
irises in his boyhood. The rides
cence and delicate shading of these
flowers. with their endless variety and
brilliant show of color in the Spring,
attracted him and made him collec-
tor
But for years his hunger for irises
went unsatisfed. He could study them
in books and bulb catalogues. He
could look at them in the collections of
others. Three years ago he purchased
the Takoma Park home. Behind the
house was a lot about 100 by 70 feet.
1t was a trash-heap, covered with
ashes, tin cans, old bottles and other
rubbish. Ii was practically barren
except for the ugly weeds that grow
on ash piles.
But Adams saw In that trash heap
the realization of his dream, 1t was
land. and land, properly treated, would
grow irises How we'll he succeeded is
shown by the fact that he has won
the national silver medal of the Amer
lean Iris Society, several bronze med
ais for district exhibitions, and is rec
ognized as having one of the finest
collections of the flowers in the United
States.
Collection of 300 Varieties.
He has more than 800 varieties on
about half the original plot the rest
being used for vegetable garden.
The ash heap has become one of the
show places of Washington. Every
Spring Mr.. Adams throws it open to
the public.
He not only had to prepare the
ground and arrange a proper land
scape design. but also obtain the diff
ferent varieties with which to fill in
the dream. He secured about a half
dozen varieties from his father S
home. near Takoma Park. These he
traded with iris growers all over the
country until he secured his present
collection. He is far from the limit
he says, because there are about II o0O
varieties in the world. Some of these
could not be grown in the climate OF
Washington. With some which are
very stubborn TO local conditions he
has had considerable success. There
IS one Persian iris. for instance, which
demands a very dry hot climate. He
nursed it along for two years before
obtaining a single bloom. The iris,
Mr.. Adams says. covers practically
the entire range Of colors except the
reds. He has been unable to secure a
true red flower. He is able to keep up
q continual show of bloom from the
middle Of March until the first of July,
starting with the beaded varieties and
ending with the Japanese. Some va
rteties also blossom again in the Fall.
In addition to the iris, he is culti-
waiting 400 hyacinths and 500 narcissi,
as well as peonies, Towering shrubs
and some of the perennial garden
plants.
BY appropriate 1andscaping Mr..
Adams says ne has been able to make
his garden appear more than twice its
natural size to one entering it from
the street The iris rows were ar
ranged for the proper blending of col
ors and distances from the perspective
of the gate and the house.

Effective Scheme for
Warming Up the Motor

For those who drive at night and
leave the ear standing for several
hours while attending the theater or
dining. a simple and effective scheme
for insuring quicker warming of the
motor is recommended. A good way
to get the motor warmed up is to
place a good-sized piece Of newspaper
over the front OF the radiator. The
air suction caused by the fan keeps
the paper from falling off. # there is
nonfreezing dope in the radiator, the
water may become too hot after d few
miles Of driving In this case, provid-
ing the car is equipped witch a self
starter, all that is necessary is to stop
the motor and release the paper, after
which the engine may again be start
ed. In ali cases the motor should be
primed with gasoline in cold weather
to insure easier starting and prevent
overtaxing the starter

EXPECT CONGRESS
TO GIVE APPROVAL

Designation by President Coolidge,
In his annual message to the Sixty
eighth congress, Of the American Lee
gIon as "the chief and most represen-
tative body of veterans" and his APP
prevail in great part of the Legion's
legislative proposals. is taken by Lee
gion officials as an Indication that the
Legion's legislative program will re-
ceive careful consideration by the
congress.
Among the more important meas
ures that will be proposed by the Lee
gion and pressed for passage during
the present short session of congress
are: Universal service act for conscrip-
ton of men, money and materials in
case of war; technical amendments to
the adjusted compensation bill which
would make ii possible for benefci-
aries to allot compensation to patri-
otic organizations chartered by con-
gress the money to be used for veteran

amendment making heirs eligible to
the full benefits of the compensation
act without fun proof of dependency !;
a bill calling FOR the immediate enact
ment of legislation for the retirement
of disabled emergency army officers
and amendments to the civil service
law giving preference to ex-service
persons.
AS regards rehabilitation and hos
pitalization OF the disabled veteran,

Coolidge pointed out in his message !:
with the authorization for general
disqualification of the veterans of all
wars, provided during the present
year. the care and treatment of those
who have served their country in time
of peril and the attitude of the gov
eminent toward them is not now so
much one of needed legislation as one
of careful, generous and humane adj
ministration 1t will ever be recognized
that their welfare is of the first con-
Germ and always entitled TO the most
sollcitous consideration on the part Of
their fellow-citizens."
During the past year the Legion
urged and secured the passage of the
World war veterans act, the most
comprehensive legislation yet passed
for the benefit of the disabled veteran,

Winter Driving Methods
Are Cited in Bulletin

keep warm and be safe" rays the
touring and transportation lizard of
the American Automobile association
in a special bulletin issued frora head
quarters as d warning to M storists
planning extensive winter tours
throughout sections of the country
where winter driving is becoming the
rule rather than the exception.
The A. A. A. board points out that
carelessness in cold weather driving
is largely the result of being cold.
Keep as warm as possible when tour
ing in cold weather, and it will be
easier to. observe the simple rules Of
caution" it urges
"These should include suitable cloth
ing, particularly warm gloves" says
the bulletin. TOO many drivers are
handicapped by numb fingers during
their winter trips so that if they are
called upon to recrank the motor in an
emergency, dim the headlights or shift
gears they are at loss.
ut is foolnardy to attempt to make
great mileage without sufficient stop
overs FOR hot food. 1t requires more
energy to fight the elements in winter,
and drivers cannot afford to feel that
because they are stimulated by the
snappy air they can endure more stren-
uous driving.
keeping warm is the first rule Of
keeping safe in cold weather. Closed
cars are proving their value in this
connection, but even here the motorist
must take the definite precautions
against subjecting himself to unneces-
sary exposure, and thus to unneces-
sary hazards.
