| Omen weather this Autumn has
| given gardeners OF the District of
| Columbia an unusual opportunity to
carry on their hobby.
Mild days, including a Thanksgiv-
| ing that seemed more like Easter.
| enabled ardent cultivators of back
yards to inspect their plots with an
eye to the future.
The future of the garden is more
| interesting than its past, more filled
with meaning than it's present even.
| Past, present, future.
These embody the whole life Of a
| nation, a man or a garden. The ma
| tion builds solidly on its past; man
does much the same; a garden grows
| out of mistakes into betterment
| Perhaps this is where so many
| home grounds fall down. No particu-
lar attention being given to inspec-
| tion with view to change. the garden
becomes static, lifeless, although filled
| with life. And a changeless yard is
| in the same position as changeless
human being. There Is no growth In
the best sense.
Only by coordinating the past and
future in the present can the home
grounds be developed into an ap'
Proclamation of what such place
might be. 1t does no particular GOOD
for the householder to read the. gar
den magazines or look at the pretty
pictures OF the grand estates unless
he is willing to go forth into his own
yard and attempt to apply what ne
has seen to the conditions he actually
faces.
The small yard offers set Of prob
lens, not just one problem. 1t makes
no particular demand upon the sense
Of landscaping, but rather calls for
the use of common sense.
Horse sense" Is what some call it..
1t presupposes the desire to make the
best of place, the ability to work 1t
out, and, above all, the faculty Of
seeing where something is wrong.
The power to see mistakes, and the
plain nerve to voice them-these make
combination too often labeled "cyn-
icism." One who insists on pointing
out mistakes, even II they be his own,
Is said to be cynical"
He is held to be captious fellow. a
sneering fault-hnder, churlish in the
extreme, and given over to doubling
human goodness. Yet il it were not
for this type there probably would be
little advance, either in human beings,
nations or gardens.
The desire to look over a thing and
to 'see what is wrong with it, is
gift, too often held down and harassed,
treated contemptuously, for all the
world as IL it were some grave fault.
Such good fault finding, II tempered
by restraint and simple good breeding,
allows men. nations and gardens to
come to their fullest perfection and
beauty.
1t is possible now to take stock of
the garden while one stands upon the
scene. The flowers are gone, with the

Dole Air Race From Frisco to-
Honolulu Postponed 7Wo Weeks
Flight Committee and De-
partment of Commerce Is
sues Order, Claiming That
Entrants Are Not Proper
ly Equipped or Qualified

San Francisco, Aug. u.--fPl--Post-
ponement of tomorrow's $35, 900 Dole
flight from San Francisco Bay to
Honolulu because the entries who
have thus far presented themselves
"are not now properly equipped or
qualified" was ordered today by the
flight committee and the department
of commerce subject to the approval
of the Honolulu chapter of the Ma
tional Aeronautic assoc iation.
The committee announced its de-
cision to the Associated Press after
meeting which lasted we'll into the
early hours Of the morning. A state
committee had decided to recommend
the postponement of the start of the
flight for period not exceeding two
weeks.
"The recommendation was pre-
missed upon the opinion that the
planes and the participants which
have thus far presented themselves
are not now properly equipped and
qualified and that there is not suf-
ficient time remaining in which to
qualify. Even though some Of them
might be able to pass the prelimin-
ary navigation tests, to start August
| IL, the scheduled date, would present
hazards never contemplated by the
donor or the committee and. the re-
suit could easily be unfavorable.
ut was further recommended that
no additional entries be accepted for
the postponed date"

Years-Increases Predicted
in Estimated Yield OF
Spring Wheat, Potatoes and
Tobacco

Washington, Aug. 11.--(P-Favor-
able July weather has resulted in
improvement in the agricultural de-
partment's outlook for crops in gen.
eral, with the corn yield, in spite Of
u substantial increase in estimated
production, still forecast as the
smallest in rs years.
Increases in the estimated yield of
spring wheat, white potatoes and to-
bacco, as compared with estimates of
July /, were. noted in the depart
ment's August report, issued late
yesterday, with declines indicated,
however, in winter wheat and fruits.
Spring Wheat Gains
Corn production was forecast at
1885, ,226, 900 bushels, an increase OF
11O, 100000 bushels as compared with
figures announced month ago.
Spring wheat gained 24,OOO,OOO
bushels during the month, the depart
ment said, with production now esti-
mated at 298, 8,O0O, 900 bushels, while a
decline of 5000 900 bushels was not
ed for winter wheat, placing the to-
tai estimated yield at 662,767,OOO

1894, ,OOO, 900 bushels. An improvement
Of $4,000, 900 pounds in the tobacco
estimate was announced, with the
total yield indicated as l,l3S,OOO. 600
pounds. The apple crop was reported
to have undergone a decline of 9,OOO,-
600 bushels, with fruit prospects gen.
orally more unpromising than a
month ago.
Below l0-Year Average
Corn, oats and most fruits were
reported as the only crops in which
an acre yield below the average OF
the last 10 years was expected. The
yield of all crops combined was esti-
mated at one per cent below the 10
year level.
Corn growers were warned that
in spite Of the more optimistic fore
cast for their crops, most of it. is so
late that, but for late warm fall,
there may be serious frost damage

Famous Flyer


Detroit. Aug. 1l-(F-HeHfy Ford
took his first airplane ride today
when he climbed into the cockpit of
the spirit OF st. Louis" with Colonel
Charles Lindbergh at Ford Airport
and was taken up this afternoon.
The decision to make the flight ap-
parcntly was sudden, as no previous
indication had been given either by
those close to the motor manufac-
turer or by Colonel Lindbergh, VINO
spent the night at the Ford home
after arriving here late yesterday
on his nationwide. air tour.
Provision was made for taking Mr..
Ford aloft by installing special
seat in the plane.
The plane, after cruising above the
field, landed about 10 minutes later.
Although Mr.. Ford is an enthusiastic
backer of aviation and has invested
millions in his own factory, he never
before had consented to make a
flight.
After Ford had landed. Edsel Ford
took his place in the plane and was
taken up by Lindbcrgh.
Edscl Ford's flight with Colone
Lindbergh lasted about 10 minutes
and Immediately after the Spirit OF
St. Louis was brought to the ground

DeValera and "A
Members of Party
Will Take Seats

Dublin, Aug. 1l.--iP)-Eamon De
Valera and ~ other members Of the
Fianna Fail Republican party, Of
which he is the leader, will take the
oath Of allegiance and their seats in
the Dali Eireann Friday.
The decision, taken unanimously
at meeting last night, was qualified
by the announcement that the party
would consider the oath merely as
an "empty formality;" that the Fian-
ma Fail would consider its only allie
glance to the Irish nation. With the
as Republicans assuming their seats
in the Dali, there will be strong
majority for the opposition parties
and there is considerable speculation
over whether the government of
President Cosgrave will be able to
hold out against it.
The oath Of allegiance to which the
Republicans have directed their long
standing opposition is:
II do solemnly swear true faith
end allegiance to the constitution of
the Irish Free State as by law es-
tablished, and that / will be faithful
to his majesty, King George v, his
heirs and successor by law in virtue
of the common citizenship of Ireland
with Great Britain and her adher-
ence to and membership of the group
Of nations forming the British COM
monwealth of nations"

KIDS. PICK OUT
LINDY AS NAME
FOR TAG'SP PONY
Boys and Girls From All
Parts Of Country Show
Love for Airman

Lindy is the name Of Tagalong Nc
The last letter Of the last big
bundle Of letters that have come to
The Tribune suggesting names for
the new pony in the "Freckles and
His Friends" comic strip has been
checked and rechecked. And the re-
suit is
LINDY. !
Now, besides giving the pony a
name that he likes, and that Freck-
les and Tag and all the rest OF the
pen-and-ink kids like, these hundreds
Of letters prove something that Mis-
souri, Slope mothers and fathers can
be pretty proud Of. For they prove
that Colonel Charles Lindbergh is
the present. day hero Of childhood.
In all, there we're more than 75O
names suggested, 30 you can see
what q task it was to keep an ac-
curate check on every one. And. the
total number of letters from boys
and girls all over the country was
$4,000. Others, too late for the con-
test, still are comine In:
bereh is the hero Of the hour. his
nickname was not the most original
shows the sincere admiration OF the
youngsters, and since the name was
so many thousands ahead OF any
other name suggested, The Tribune
had no choice but to call the pony
"Lindy."
ssBlack Beauty" Second Choice
The name that received the next
largest number Of votes, in their or
der, were: Black Beauty, Prince,
Bobby (after Bobby Bacon, the lit
tie boy whom .Tagslong foupd). Tony,
Tagalong and Freckles and Mr..
Blosser, the artist, have asked The
Tribune to thank all the boys and
girls who are 80 much interested in
their comic strip that they sent IN
names for the pony. Tag says he is
sorry that he cannot acknowledge
every letter individually. But for
"Lindy" alone there were 80 many
thousand votes that it would keep
him busy Tor months writing to
everyone. And that would keep him
out Of the strip il the Tribune and
he knows that the boys and girls
would rather see him playing With
Lindy every day.

Sacramento Show
House Destroyed;
3 Firemen urt

Sacramento, Calf, Aug. l1.-CP)-
Three firemen were injured and
$4OO, 900 loss caused by q mysterious
fire which destroyed the new State
theatre here early today. Efforts OF
the entire Sacramento fire depart
ment were required to keep the
flames from wiping out = whole busi-
ness block.
Nearby residents declare the fire
was preceded by two explosions. Fire
officials believe this to have been
gasoline but advanced no theory as
to the cause of the explosions.
The theatre, which was operated as
motion picture house, had been
cleared more than an hour before the
blaze broke out but midnight crowds
had not yet dispersed and the entire
police force was called out to main-
tain order.
