affording privacy and shade; it may
serve as an effective background for
a tiny fountain or lily pool; or it
may provide place for climbing

ways are likewise attractive, even
on the simplest scale. Edging for the
path or walk gives decidedly a I'm

The strip should be about an eighth
of an inch trick, and two snd half
or three inches wide.
These various additions can con-
tribute much to the beauty of your
garden or yard if they are kept at
tractive and trim. This means, first
of all, that they must be well paint
ed. In fact, if painting is never ne
elected, they can be kept in perfect
condition without other care. For

usual and very artistic effects are to
be had with fan-shaped fences or
other unique forms. A climbing vine
to cover the lattice will insure even
greater privacy. Most attractive it
is, too, with its fresh green foliage.
A particular asset of a fence of this
type is that it may be quite high
and none the less attractive, thus
forming a real yet artistic barrier TO
the garden.
For a simple. house where a half
rustic effect seems desirable there
is nothing more delightful than the
old fashioned picket fence or even
one of plain boards. The charm of
these quaint enclosures lies chiefly
in their trimness which in turn Ge-
pends most of all on the fresh, neat
paint.
Where it makes little difference
whether ones garden is secluded
from view but it is still desirable to
make provision against intrusion
and trespassing, a wire fence with
wooden posts will serve the purpose.
This is somewhat less expensive TO
put up and gives neat effect if the
posts are kept brightly painted.
Other garden woodwork" will be
in keeping, giving at the same time
a pleasing trimness and gay touch.

a combatant of decay that the sur
faces it covers will resist this form
of deterioration almost indefinitely.
Artistic and economic value of
fences and other additions to the

yourself against loss, paint regular

Around Lucas OutpOints Reese;
Large Crowd Present
One of the largest crowds ever al
tending a smoker of the Harrington
Athletic Association was present on
Friday evening. In fact seats were
at a premium and many stood
throughout the entertainment. One
of the preliminary bouts of the eve
ming was between Britches Wyatt of
Harrington and Killen OF FELTON,.
This was a three round contest and
ended in a draw, neither of the fight
ers seemed to have the edge on the
other.
The next bout of the evening was
listed in the heavyweight class be-
tween LeKites of Harrington and
Lister of Greensboro, Md. 1t was
scheduled for three rounds but only
about three blows were struck be-
fore LeKites took the count of ten.
Lister was much heavier than his
opponent.
Two colored fighters entertained
in the next bout. Dummy of Salem, N.
j., Who has been seen in action here
on several occasions and who al
ways gave a good account OF himself
was pretty evenly matched with
Denney Miller of Wilmington. Zach
fighter was able to stand the hard
punches served out by his opponent
and the bout ended in a draw. The
fighters were given rounds of ap-
plause at the conclusion of the bout.
Again the crowd applauded Justify
when the fighter in the semi wind
up entered the ring. Four-Round
Lucas of Robbins was matched
against Luke Reese of Harrington.
On three different occasions Lucas
fioored his man in the first two
rounds. Reese used good ring tactics
and took part of the count to get his
wind and then came UP ready for
battle. Lucas landed several stiff
rights to the jaw and easily out
pointed the local lad. The final
bout of the evening was between
Lonski of Wyoming and Killen OF
FELTON,. 1t was scheduled for three
rounds but Lonski was awarded a
technical knockout in the second
round. At the beginning of the sec
ond round Killen dropped to his
knees and Lonski sent a swift right
to the left jaw as Killen arose to his
feet. This in all probability dazed
Killen as a few seconds later both
fighters were on the mat. Ralph
Brown acted as referee for the
bouts.

WHAT CHANCE HAS A Wet
Washington Newspaper Writer
Tells Why Wet Can Never Be
Elected President.

An interesting political pamphlet
bearing the title why Wet Can
didate Will Never Be President has
been compiled by Atherton DuPuy' q
WASHINGTON writer of experience
Some of the historic facts set forth
in the pamphlet are herewith sum-
married.
The Eighteenth Amendment was
ratified by 46 out of the AZ states
Vets say this came about by reason
of the fact that couple OF millions
of young Americans were abroad on
war service. DuPuy says this COM
Eaint is without force, as the
amendment was ratified by legisla-
lures and not by popular vote.
Vets Losing Ground
In ansN er to the claim of the
vets that political sentiment has
changed since 1919, DuPuy points to
the results of general elections held
since that time.
Last year vets claimed they would
gain 200 votes in Congress, but they
didn't gain any. OF 35 Senators cleo
ted they won only six. Even Wads-
worth of New York was defeated.
Last fall 35 governors were elect
ed, of whom 80 were avowed drys,
an donly two out and out vets.
These two are Smith of New York
and Ritchie of Maryland.
Last year S5 legislatures were
elected. Mr.. DuPuy says after inves-
tigation that 80 are dry in both
houses and only one wet in both
houses.
He says that to classify some
states as wet or dry is difficult, but
that 80 are admittedly dry. He isn't
sure how the others should be class
ed. The wettest are supposed to be
New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin
and Maryland. He points out that
where great cities are, the wet vote
is heaviest, and in Pennsylvania,
New York, Massachusetts and Mary
land the cities form the bulk of the
population. While Chicago went wet
this spring in the election of a may
or, nevertheless last fall when the
state had a chance to elect two con-
gressmen-at-large and a Senator,
the voters chose three drys.
Wet and Dry States
In summing up Mr.. DuPuy classi-
fies the states as 80 dry, wet and
two doubtful. The seven conceded
to the vets are Wisconsin, Missouri,
Louisiana, New York, Maryland,
Rhode Island and Connecticut. Ac-
cording to his scrutiny the two
doubtful states are New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. The total electoral
vote of all these states is 1853, but
there are 531 votes in the electoral
college, and the discrepancy between
this total and the 15S recognized as
wet, measures the obstacles to be
overcome by the wet who wishes to
be President of the United States.

INSURING PRIVACY FOR THE
GARDEN
By Jane Stewart

What could be a keener source of
enjoyment than a garden shut off
completely from the outside world? :?
We are accustomed to think that
such luxury is only for the wealthy
who are able to maintain large es-
tates; or for those who live in some
remote spot. But as a matter of fact
the modest house and yard which
has next door neighbor can have
complete privacy for its garden or
yard.
One of the most attractive ways of
enclosing a garden from the street
is with lattice work, which may be
used in varied form. While there is
nothing more pleasing than the SIM
pie straight lattice fence, more un-

BROWN HITS LAW
ON CONDEMNATION
Urges Commissioners to
Have Hearing and Assess
ment Notices Mailed.

Herbert d. Brown, chief Of the Fed.
eral Bureau of Efficiency, urged the
District Commissioners today to take
steps to correct certain unfair fea.
lures" OF the present law governing
the condemnation Of land for streets
and the assessment of benefits which
are expected to be conferred upon
other property when the proposed i'm.
provements have been made.
The newspaper notice now required,
describing in general terms each
project involved in condemnation, Mr..
Brown contended, IS inadequate as a
notice to property owners interested,
and the Commissioners should issue
an administrative order requiring the
corporation counsel to mail a notice
to property owners Immediately after
each jury verdict is filed IN order to
afford them as much time as possible
before any final ratification to present
to the court reasons, If they have
any, why the verdict or any part
thereof should not be ratified.
Mr.. Brown also recommended that
a section of the District Code which
prescribes the procedure to be fol-
lowed in the condemnation Of land for
streets be amended to require the
court upon receipt of jury verdict
to fix a time for hearing and deter
mining any objections or exceptions
that may be filed, and to cause notice
Of the hearing and of the amount as.
sessed by the jury as benefits against
each piece Of property to be served.

BERLIN TO CONTINUE
POLICIES ON SOVIET
Stresemann, in Report, Says ANY
Attempt to Involve Germany
Must Fail.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, June 23.--Any attempt to
draw Germany into an anti,Soviet
front would be destined to founder,
Foreign Minister Stresemann told the
Reichstag today in the course of his
report on the recent meeting Of the
League of Nations Council.
1--WE naturally talked about the
Anglo Soviet break, which is an event
of prime Importance" he said, ''but
no matter how the situation may de-
velop, we shall not change our
policies which were laid down in the
pact of Locarno and the treaty of
Berlin with Russia)."
An unmistakable warning was
given to Moscow by DIR. Stresemann
that it must discontinue its foreign
propaganda when he said:
1.-THE other powers have full under
standing of our position and also
have the feeling that all the countries
maintaining diplomatic relations with
Russia desire q free hand to the ex
tent Of being permitted to conduct
such relations without being influence
ed by others. They, however, also
are emphatic in their demands that
Russia abandon its propaganda
abroad"

With IL of the IS convicts who es.

effort to round up the others.
Evidence OF the difficulties encoun.

with the IL convicts. They told
Of hours spent in the soggy "gumbo"
soil which taxed the strength OF dogs
as well as men. The IL men were re-
captured within radius OF miles
from the farm. They were found in

They refused to name the leaders

TILDEN NOT TO TURN
PROFESSIONAL SOON
Has Not Accepted $50, 900 a Year
Tennis Job, or Any Other, He
Says, at Wimbledon.

BY the Associated Press.
WIMBLEDON, June 23.--"Big Bill''
Tilden has no intentions Of turning
professional for the present, but
what his sentiments on the matter
will be year from now he is un.
able to say. the American star today
told the Associated Press.
Discussing reports published in the
European press that he was thinking
OF turning professional, Tilden said:
"Will you please deny for me re-
ports emanating from America and
reproduced here that I have in the in
tention Of turning professional. /
have not accepted any $20,000-a-year
job in tennis or any other offer.
Those are my sentiments now. What
they win be a year from now / am
unable to say"
Referring to yesterdays incident
with the foot fault judge, which is
commented on at length in the morn
ing press, all of which justify Tilden's
action, the American player said
rather jokingly:
"If this game has reached such a
pass that a player cannot talk to
an official and ask him wherein he
Is committing fault, so as to avoid
recurrence in the future. then /
am going to quit it."
