| From now on the garden VIII grow
with Jump,
Hitherto growth was tagging, apa-
thetic. as II neither Nature nor her
children could work UP much interest
In the matter.
Cold days OF April yet without the
heralded showers. held back everything,
including grass and rosebushcs, favor
ties In every garden.
Grass grew. of course; rosebushes
put on new leaves did their best to
send out plenty of buds.
But II was hard work,
There was not enough rain. especial
ly there was not enough warmth.
New that May has come upon us
with thump. bringing warmer days,
vegetative growth goes forward by
leaps and bounds.
In two days of really warm weather
the grass made more advance than 1t
had In two weeks previously.
1t was interesting to watch the
growth of the new, light green leaves,
fllling In the bare patches. almost as
II some magician had sprinkled 1t there
overnight,
Some grass plots have a nasty habit
OF Winter-killinR In sections. Thus,
when Spring. or even near Spring. ap-
pears over the land, only some parts
Of lawn respond.
The result OF this partial growth is
that when May arrives bright and
fresh. glowing, warm and happy. the
old lawn presents a moth-eaten ap-
pearance.
The descriptive phrase "moth-eaten," I"
by the way, is one Of the very best OF
the standard comparisons. 1t surely
presents picture, and does 1t ac-
curately.
What more can one want?
One OF the lilies has sent Its dis
tinctlve shoots above the earth in the
back border, where the altheas are Just
beginning to bud out
What allure rests in the word lily!
Like lilac. it Is beautiful word In
itself. Just why certain words are
beautiful in themselves Is somewhat
dif11cult to say.
We do not believe the word rose"
is sweet because of the flower alone.
II is true that this bloom would be
enough to render almost any word
pleasing. and yet
Surely there is charm In the very
word rose" itself, an attraction verbal
and authentic. having little or nothing
to do with the actual growing thing
"A rose by any other name would
smell as sweet"
Well. perhaps
u
Lilies. lilacs and roses.
There is combination to appeal at
once TO him or her who loves words as
well as flowers
Words let IL he held In mind are the
flowers OF everyday life.
That Is why one should make the
best choice of them he Is able. and why
he should extend his acquaintance with
them.
The garden may be fine garden
without the gladiolus. for instance, but
It Is better one with H.
So, with we'll stocked mind. other con-
siderations being equal. the chances for
happiness are better than where paucity
prevails.

A Good Beginning.

III passing the Welch bill yesterday
The House of Representatives started
work Of Government pay-scale reforms-
ton that should be continued without
delay until the public service scale OF
compensation Is brought to the point

amended in the House 70 lessen the
immediate increase in the total Of ap-
preparations, but prowdes for a survey
that will. it is expected, disclose the
full requirements Of the service. 1t as
sures an advance Of approximately
sIa.e0o.0o0 In the annual compensation
Of some $4,000 Government workers
Of whom $4,000 are engaged in Wash
ington and 10000 in the States, The
total of the increase is considerably
lover than that estimated as provided
for in the original WEIGH bill and some
classes of workers included in that
measure are not now brought within
the scope of the provisions. The
amended bill cares for the higher
grades of employees more adequately
than was proposed in the first revision
by the House committee.
II is assumed to be the purpose OF the
Government. In the course OF subse-
cuent revisions Of the pay scale, to
maintain salaries on a parity with those

complished there viii be no ground for

tenn, which, however, has not been Alto
eether dependable. owing to huctua-
tons In the size OF the force. His re-
sponsibilities are heavy. HIS opportuni-

II is expected that this bill. which
has been framed In its present terms

By the upper house, so that 1t win be-

appropriation provisions must be made,
