Good Old Red!

Employees of the Southwestern and
London Railway, compelled by order
for many years past to wear red
scarves, are now allowed a range of
choice in their neckwear. There was
sense in the old rule, for it was pro-
mulgated with the idea that, in an
emergency, a man could flag a train
without a hurried hunt for something
crimson. The necessity for it, how
ever, seems now to have passed with
the perfection and elaboration of vari-
Gus safety devices.
Doubtless these hundreds of men
are relieved at the remission of the
rule. Nevertheless there is something
deeply appealing, and often signifi-
cant, in the use of this color. Savages
and primitive people and their recent
descendants dote on it. At the other
end of the scale, such a man as the
late Eugene Field said. "Give me any
color, SO long as it is red" Whether
| in the tropics or in the arctic wastes,
bright red leads all the other shades

OF possessing the fastest Aging sea-

and the 100 and 200 kilometcr

her plane went 24a,i9 miles for the

This remarkable increase was
brought about by an S50-horsepower

The Two Washingtons.

Today all of Washington, the city,
honors the memory of Washington.
the man, on the anniversary Of his
birth.
What Washington the city thinks
Of Washington the man Is retold each
year in terms of ever-increasing ad-
miratio and reverence. Appreciation
of the true greatness of the great
American grows from year to year as
steadily and as strongly as the re-
public itself
What Washington the man thought
of Washington the city is Of record.
He pictured as rising on our fields and
swamps no mean Capital. In area he
reasoned that the Capital Of the United
States should be as much larger than
Philadelphia as the United States was
larger than Pennsylvania. In popula.
ton he said prophetically that cen.
fury hence the Capital would be
though not as large as London, yet
of a magnitude inferior to few cities
in Europe"
We are sometimes told that the fore
fathers contemplated no great Ameri-
can city here, but only National Gov
eminent workshop for the quiet and
safe performance Of the executive,
legislative and judicial functions, with
a small population Of transients when
Congress is in session and almost de-
serted when Congress is gone-a city
without permanent inhabitants and
without the American status and
rights upon which national public
spirit and patriotic pride are based
The great man who founded it and
gave 1t his name saw in prophetic
vision no such Capital. He contem-
plated, as we have seen. city as
much larger than Philadelphia in area
~ the United States was then larger
than Pennsylvania, a city to be ex-
oeeded in population a century thence
perhaps only by London.
We sometimes hear patronizing or
stnrTfng comment concerning the mar.
rOwness Of the forefathers and the
brcadmindedness and farsightedness
OF us moderns. Try as we may we
cannot in respect to the Capital rise
to the height Of George Washington's
hopes, prophecies and anticipations.

THIS AND THAT


I with a broom handle. about IS inches
to q feet deep. Such depths. Of course,
would not be necessary for gladioli
| whose roots do not lie 80 deep.
| A foot deep would be sufficient
Water poured down these holes would

| of the roots.
Many amateur flower growers never
| seem to get the idea" that "sprink
ling" as they call II, IL meant for
anything but the foliage of the plant.
Watering the leaves Is q negligible
| factor In the growth of plants~-~where
| the water is needed, and where 1t must
be. IL II lis to do any good, Is at the
roots.
The application of good bone meal
| at the time or planting, and It's use at
intervals. in moderate quantities dur
, ing the growing season, is all the
| fertilization gladioli need. 1t need
hardly be added that the application Of
we'll rotted manure, IL 1t can be done
In the Fall previous to Spring plant
| ing, is good. 1t should not be used
at any other time.
Cultivation in the average home
garden may best be done with some
sort of fork affair, of which several
types are on the market. This should
not be attempted, of course, until all
the shoots are above ground. The
gladiolus has a surprising way of
sending forth two or three bud spikes.
and 1t does not do to break them
OF as they are coming up. Like most
plants. the gladiolus has a delicate
tip when it first appears, which must
be handled gently.
Cultivation should not be deep, not
more than 2 inches or So This
Is best done after rain or hand
watering, at the time when the ground
Is mealy and crumbles nicely.
Those who. may never have paid
much attention to this primary task
in gardening will be surprised at the
rapidity with which tough clay soils
may be made friable, as the gardeners
say.
After several weeks of consistent
stirring, the soil becomes easily work
able, and of the consistency you love
to touch" This applies to all properly
worked ground, not just to gladiolus
beds, of course.
The gladiolus, from the standpoint
of the amateur gardener, may be said
to have no diseases at all.
Out of every batch of bulbs few
will be diseased, perhaps, but this will
have happened before the gardener
gets them, and he will not recognize
any signs of disease. The bulb simply
will not grow. Later in the season,
If he digs it up, he win discover it to
be blackened.
Give every bulb at least 90 days to
come up, although most of them will
be up in to 10 days, and then If it
does not appear, dig it up and put
another in It's place, after dosing the
hole with bone meal. Our theory is
that bone meal is soil antiseptic, as
well as a fertilizer.
Browning of the swordlike leaves
at the tips and along the edges is
often the result of lack of water, al
though not always.
After blooming, neither cultivation
nor watering is important. 1t is well
to leave the bulbs in as long as pos
sible to ripen. Let them stay until
late October or Thanksgiving, If pos
sible, but get them out surely before
it freezes.

Good Police Work.

| II the police In their city.wide search
| for the fiend who attacked a woman
| In the Capitol Grounds on Friday
! the guilty man. they are to be con-
graduated by a relieved city. A con-
fession is reported to have been OBJ
tanned from one of the suspects, and
if Confederation OF the statement can
be procured and the man brought to
trial and convicted, the police Of
Washington will have covered them
selves with glory.
Close on the heels Of what appears
to be the end Of an intensive man hunt
for the attacker Of a woman, another
crime of similar, but less revolving,
aspects has been reported to the po-
lice from another section Of the city.
At Twenty-third and S streets last
night a woman was beaten and
robbed. but the victim put up such a
stiff fight that the criminal was forced
to fee.
In the atrocious assault in the
shadow of the Capitol the police were
handicapped by a somewhat vague
description of the assailant. Concen.
trating the entire force, however, in
one Of the greatest man hunts that the
National Capital has ever experienced.
they picked up many suspects. These
men were taken before the stricken
woman and she is said positively to
have identified the same man who
later made a confession. 1t will now
be necessary for the police to obtain
confederation of the confession in
order to assure Justice when he Is
brought to trial.
Crimes Of this character are a com.
parative rarity in Washington, al
though the District has it's share of
robberies. murders and hold-ups. The
local police department, in this par.
ticular case, has no jurisdiction over
the locality in which the attack was
made, but as soon as word was
flashed to headquarters it turned
out with a united force to apprehend
the guilty man. In the Identification
and confession it appears to have
been successful in solving a case that
might have been, save for the Wig.
lance Of the police and fortunate cir.
cumstances. written in the ledger of
unraveled crimes. Washington con-
graduates its alert department and
gives 1t full credit for striking illus.
tration Of good police work.

Diplomatic Language
Would Get Results
From the San Bernardino Sun.

From the San Bernardino Sun.
Those whom we elect to represent
us In the halls Of Congress as well
as in executive offices seem to have
lost the fine art Of diplomatic face
Shaping with polite language. Per-
haps when we send more women to
Washington we shall do better in that
respect. The women have always
been able to mean more when they
speak than a casual hearing OF their
words would indicate. Through long
centuries Of overdomination by men
they have learned the value of speech
both to conceal and to reveal without
giving bald offense. Perhaps we have
become somewhat careless In the mat
ter of choosing our representatives,
selecting those of inferior skill in the
use of language and deficient In the
graces of social intercourse.
At least that much Is indicated by
the assertion on the floor of the House
by one member that what another
member had said was "a deliberate
iie." Time was when such a remark
would have called a rap from the
presiding officers gavel and a demand
that the speaker retract his remark
and apologize for making it. But not

The Navy Withdraws.

Abandoned by the Government, the
task Of bringing to this country the
most coveted aeronautical honor in
the world--the Schneider Interna-
tional Seaplane Trophy, awarded to
the nation producing and flying the
fastest seaplanes-has fallen on the
shoulders of private interests" to
which it was referred by Secretary
Wilbur after the Navy decided to
withdraw from the contest this
year, even though America needed
but one more victory to retain the
award permanently.
BY Secretary Wilbur's action, a
new sport of kings" has been
created in America sport of
kings" because it involves the ex.
penditure of from $4,000 to 5000
for the design and construction of
one engine and plane which may be
destroyed through accident as
quickly as a priced race horses LIFE
could be ended.
Flying has not yet been taken up''

The Recalcitrant Witnesses.

in their refusal to answer questions.

The Reed committee, 1t is evident. in
tends to try the matter out.
When the Supreme Court ruled in
the Daugherty case that a Senate
committee has the right to compel
witnesses to appear before it, the cor
ollary was implied that it also had
the right to compel witnesses to
testify or to hold them in contempt
and to punish them il recalcitrant.
The power to summon would be an
idle thing If it went no further.
The right of the Senate committee
to inquire into primary election in
a State, even for a senatorial nomina-
ton, Is challenged by the recalcitrant
witnesses. Samuel insult, public util.
ity magnate Of Chicago, and his at
torney. Daniel J. Schuyler, two of the
witnesses, go farther and insist that
a contribution Of $4,000 by Mr.. In
sull in the Illinois primary campaign
last year was not used to influence
the senatorial nomination at all, hut
for local contests. The Reed commit
tee. however, insists that 1t must have
all the facts regarding this contribu-
ton.
So much for the controversy be-
tween Senate and State rights. Under.
lying the whole question are matters
that go deep into public morals. On
the one hand are two witnesses from
Chicago. insult and Schuyler, both
connected with huge contributions Of
money by Mr.. insult to political cam
paigns. Mr.. insult controls more pub
lie utilities in Illinois than any other
man. On the other hand is the wit
ness Thomas w. Cunningham of
Philadelphia, clerk of the quarter ses-
sions of Philadelphia, who has testi-
fed that he contributed $50 900 to
the primary campaign in which Will
liam s. Ware was a candidate for the
Republican senatorial nomination. Mr..
Cunningham. insisting that the money
he contributed was his own, has de.
clined to tell the committee where he
got it or how long he had 1t.
The country. not the Senate alone,
is confronted in these cases with a
condition, not a theory. When public
utility magnates, who are not very
far removed from public utilities-and
city officials, contribute large sums
of money, calculated to influence cleo
tons to public office, it is time the
public took note Of the matter. That
the matter has been brought to light
by a Senate committee rather than a
State investigating body is not ma
terial. If the States do not act to
compel purity in elections, the Senate
can scarcely be blamed for taking
these matters into it's hands.
