1.-THE housing situation for SOL

tiers at TT. Harrison, Carter said.

THE GREEKS

N MEANWHILE, from the north,
1V1 the Greeks were coming. Not
the Greeks that we knew as subtle
urban people, refined in speech and
feature, and supreme in every art;
but rough and hardy nomadS,
bearded barbarians who drove their
herds before them and drew their
families behind them in rude carts;
men more like the American pio-
neers who won the West than like
the Greeks of history and our mag
nation.
You may call them "Aryans" with
Max Muller, or "Indo- Europeans" in
current Technology; these are but
names for our belief that the Greeks
came from that more or less hypo-
thetical region of central Asia which
seems to have sent forth the great
migrationS that conquered Europe.
Part of this living tide stopped
to form the people of Persia; an
other part went farther, crossed
the Hellespont and became the

climbers and large bushes which
would be hardy in all parts of the
United States and which would
flourish without much cultivation.
Most of the American varieties of
hybrid teas have been produced by
nurserymen, but there was no finan-
cial reward for the tedious and
lengthy experimentation necessary to
derive new varieties from the wild
species. This work was taken up by
the government as an outgrowth of
work with roses to determine the
practicability of perfumery farming
in the United States.
The first of the varieties released
after DR.. Van Fleets death was the
Mary Wallace, named for the daush-
ter of the late Secretary of Agricul-
ture. This was a strong, growing
bush rose. Hundreds of the bushes
now are growing in Washington gar
denS.
The productions at the Glenn Dale
station constitute a new family of
roses, the only family exclusively
American. Most of the English and
French roses are not ideally adapted
to American conditions and develop
various fungus diseases which make
them very irritating to the average
grower.

Miss Pope set forth that she wanted
