a snappy side-arrn throw.

Several commission experts have

would also benefit thereby.
One plan suggested is to increase

some plan Of rerouting cars that

It is admitted that the Capital

The last rose of Summer. under such
| weather as 1929 shows, really becomes
the last rose of Autumn.
Perhaps no roses are so appreciated
! as the last blooms, and the same holds
true Of the last blossoms of other garden
| friends.
Chrysanthemums and dahlias, twin
4 queens of the Fall, occupy large part
| in the affections of flower-lovirg people
| partly because they come SO late and
| go so soon.
one expects flowers in Spring and
| Summer. Those are the appointed sea-
sons, when Nature brings forth the
blooms of tulips, peonies, iris, gladiolus,
| loveliest of them all.
And always roses. From April on
there are gorgeous flowers on the rose
bushes. We speak, of course, OF ordinary
home grown flowers in the out-of-doors
The modern florist makes his own
seasons.
we who labor in the backyard, how
! ever, must be content to take the flow
ers as they come. Here sunshine and
rain, heat and dryness, the passage
of time. mean everything.
In the backyard the mlldew and the
insect pests and the various parasites
come to give a human touch to each
little inclosed Paradise, for It seems that
most things which mankind touches
are faulty.
Perhaps this is why garden lovers
come to have an almost sentimental at
tachment to the roses.
Faulty like unto mankind, neverthe-
less they do the best they can, which is
about all that any one can do, whether
man or flower, plant or best.
AS is the nature of the b. ute, so will
its life be, and no one shall arise to
cry Shame, shame" for the fault may
be elsewhere.
Roses which come In November,
blooming when all but the dahlias and
chrysanthemums have quit, are doubly
priced.
They bring floral gladness to all who
see them. Census collectors. moving
primly on their appointed rounds see
them In dooryards, and stop to admire
before they press the electric bell.
Postmen, laden with quite fresh news
of the home folks. look long before they
put letters in slots.
Canvassers, statesmen of everything
under the sun. are torn between a de-
sire to speak of roses and to boost what
they are attempting to SELL
Such Is the magic of November rose
Among these late beauties Radiance
and Red Radiance stand out, not only
for beauty of blossom. but also for fine
ness of flower texture.
Fresh and fragrant they stand, their
green leaves succulent on long stems.
The lush growth of these sister roses
must always remain the admiration of
rosarians
Their parentage is known, but Just
how the children managed to get their
extraordinary pep" and vigor is still
something of a mystery.
Sometimes you will hear some one
speak of the miserable short stems"
of the Radiance. They have never seen
this rose, well grown. in November for
surely no one can call 3-foot stem
either short or miserable.
AS a matter of fact, one cannot help
wondering why any rosebush wants to
put forth stem yard long. 1t seems
wasteful, until one stops to realize that
the Radiance twins do everything that
they do in buoyant manner.
If the Radiance sisters could sing, you
would see them stepping forth to do

Arizona Delays Work
On Boulder Dam Project

From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
The Interior Department at Wash
ington informally announces that all
actual work on the Colorado River
project, colloquially known as the
Boulder Dam" will be delayed until
all legal difficulties are settled. Arizona
is on the warpath. She hes broken on
all negotiations with California and
Nevada as to an anaicable division Of
water and water power, and her at
torney general has been instructed to
take the legal steps necessary to pro-
tect the States interest" This means
a denunciation of the congressional
legislation on the subject as unconstitu-
tional and trial of the issue before
the United States Supreme Court. It
would mean, If the Interior Department
took a different course from that in
dictated. that an injunction against the
work would be sought.
There are many problems still un-
settled about this vast Colorado River
plan, not the least of which concerns
the rights of Mexico. Irrigation for Q
considerable section of that country de-
ponds on Colorado River water. It is
well to have all these problems settled
before engineers get on the job. But
that the Supreme Court will take meas
ures to lessen delays is quite likely, and
It's conclusions Will not be questioned in
America, though they may lead to some
diplomatic protests from Mexico.
