| TIMELY SUGGESTIONS

The ample rains and cool nights
have been very favorable to newly
set plants, but extra care will be
needed if conditions are reversed and
dry weather sets in. A heavy mulch
of grass, well rotted manure or peat
moss will greatly aid in carrying new
plants through unfavorable periods.
Stocky, well formed chrysanthemum
plants are obtained by pinching out
the tops of the leading shoots. This
procedure causes them to slow up
their upward growth and to branch
out into nicely shaped, strong plants.
Dahlia plants require one pinching
back if one desires stocky, well formed
plants. Otherwise an extremely tall
growth results, which requires careful
support to prevent storm injury
Tulip and narcissus foliage may be
removed from the beds now. Tulips
should be dug. dried few hours in
semi-shade and stored away in boxes
or baskets in a dry. dark place.
Those who wish to control black
spot in the rose bed should not re-
lax during periods of woodworking.
The SO called Massey dust, nine parts
of very finely divided sulphur and
one part of arsenate of lead powder,
is a practical, effective treatment.
Remember that June and early July
is the most favorable period for SOW
ing perennial seeds. 1t is natures
time and gardeners are usually most
successful when they follow the or
binary course of events.
The new purple leafed Japanese bar
berry promises to be a very satisfac-
tory hedge plant. It's habit of growth
is like that of the well known green
leaf form and the plants should be
treated in the same way.
Perhaps the most attractive flower
seen by the garden editor in the vari-
Gus flower shows this past Spring was
the Beersheba narcissus, a beautiful,
clear white trumpet exhibited by B. Y.
Morrison in the Takoma Horticultural
Clubs narcissus show. There is little
doubt that this will become a very
popular flower when it's price war
rants general use.
The white phlox, Miss Lingard, now
in bloom in the beds in front of the
main building of the Department of
Agriculture attracts much favorable

LAND EXPLOITATION
GOVERNS PLANNING
City Zoning Held impossible
Until Subdividing Is
Under Control.

Effective city planning is impos-
sible until the problem of land ex-
ploitation is solved. it is declared in a
report of the committee on commu-
nifty planning of the American Insti-
tute of Architects, which is making a
Nationwide study of the problems of
land development and regulation.
Until land exploitation is regulated
with view to functional use and to
the welfare of the community as a
whole the architect will not be able
to contribute more than a modicum
of his effort or interest in the city
planning field the committee de-
clares.

ton that the architects problems be-

PLUMBING CONSIDERED.
Importance to Health Emphasized
in Building Home.

There is no single installation in
your home that contributes more to
the comfort and health of your fam
lily than the plumbing.
A house without adequate and eff.
cient plumbing never can he a real
home. The service obtained through
your plumbing installation must he az
your disposal "a hours a day. That
being the case. it is important that
the plumbing be given the most care
full consideration.

attention. This variety has gained
great popularity on account of it's
early blooming, its beauty and its
long period of lowering.

gin. and If the city planner deserts
him at this point because broad city
planning does not reach so far, then
it is obvious that the cooperation of
the architect and the city planner
must be limited to a mere gesture of
good will.
Regulation Possible.
This committee, however. believes
that some definite form of regulation
can be found which will control both
the time and the manner of subdivid-
ing land and which will incorpo-
rate opportunities for using for pub
lie advantage the end productive
built-up land. Such regulation must
be applied in a manner that will re-
lease the ability of the designer in
planning buildings that are both in
dividually efficient and beautiful. and
at tho same time integral parts of
community that will likewise be eff
cieHt and beautiful.
I'm city Planning as at present
practiced, coming regulates in q very
detailed way the private use of land;
it qualities the type Of occupancy, the
area covered and the height and bulk
of buildings permitted upon it. In
certain cases it goes so far as to say
that not only must the kind of use be
regulated, but even the number of
families to be accommodated upon a
given plot.
Benefits Curtailed.
Here is a very definite interference
with the free use of his property by
each and every owner. Most of these

There is not much room to move

Comdr. Byrd was making his observa-

Nowhere is there a definite place

Pacific Weather
Better for Flying
ThanOver Atlantic

True to it's name, the Pacific
Ocean provides more stable weather
for long distance flying than the
Atlantic. While the transatlantic
flyers wait for the storms to adjust
themselves so as to provide the
most favorable air passage, those
spanning the distance from America
to Hawaii can hop off with the
assurance that it will be fair
weather this time Of year.
Data at the United States
Weather Bureau here show that
those aviators flying westward
from the mainland have the aid of
favorable winds to push them on
to their goal. The flight eastward
from Hawaii to the mainland in
wolves buffeting a head wind for
two-thirds of the long flight.
Such condition is just the
reverse of the situation in the
Atlantic There prevailingly west
erly winds give the advantage to
flyers who go eastward from
America to Europe.

pertinent.
when regular flights are being
made across the Atlantic, every ship
at sea will probably send steady re-
ports. Then we will be absolutely GER
tain of the weather. AS things are,
we cannot be certain"
One of the things Condr. Byrd eX-
poets to result from his fight is the
establishment of a weather obserVa-
ton bureau on the great Greenland
ice cap. This great block of ice, he
said, is believed by certain scientists
storms on the Atlantic, which come
up suddenly and make weather pre-
dictions unsound.
Will Study Fogs.
The fog banks reported by Col.
Lindbergh and Clarence Chamberiin
will be the subject of scientific
study, Byrd said. One thing he eX-
poets to learn is whether. a fog bank
extends from water level to the
clouds above, or whether there is a
clear space between the clouds and
the top of the bank. The experiences
of Lindbergh and Chamberlin, Byrd
said, tended to show there was no
clear space to fly through.
Great attention will be paid to the
Atlantic winds, Byrd said, in an eff
fort to find in what direction they
blow at various attitudes.
THE question is" he said. "wheth-
err the winds at higher attitudes blow
in a different direction and at diff.
ference velocity than the surface
winds"
