Attacks Communism

by the witness is worthy of belief.
1t is matter of impeachment. If
the defendant is a Communist, and
is making an effort to overthroy the
government, when he comes to trial
under the laws Of that government,
he ought not to expect to be tried
as loyal citizen of that govern
ment. When man goes on a wit
ness stand, he subjects his life and
his beliefs to the security of cross
examination. The jury is entitled
to know what manner of man he
is"
This can only mean one thing
Communists cannot expect a fair
trial under a government they do
not support, and their views i'm
peach their testimony. They are
outside the aw, in Barnhill's estim-
alton.
This ruling takes it's place beside
the worst. of the rulings of Judge
Thayer in the Sacco-Vanzetti case,
as vicious anti-labor decision. 1t
skaters the illusion the capitalist
press has built up that Barnhill is
an exception to the rule, and that he
is the personification of the bourg-
eois ideal" of an impartial judge.
Beal Tcstifies.
When the sharp legal battle be-
tween the defense and prosecution
on this question arose, Beal was on
the witness stand. Under direct
examination, Beal had told about his
record as a leader of textile work
ers, in various strikes. He told of
working in the textile mills of Law
renee at the age of ID. He said the
National Textile Workers Union
was organized because the United
Textile Workers had become hope
lessly reactionary, expelling from
its ranks all progressives who be-
lieved in a militant struggle for bet
ter conditions for the textile work
ers.
Beal stated the N. T. W. U. sent
him South to organize the highly
exploited Southern workers, in Dec
ember.
In March, said Beal, the Loray
mill workers sent for him to help
the morganize a union.
The Masked Gangsters.
He told the often repeated story
of the strike at the Manville- enckes
Loray mill, of the picket lines broken
up with the utmost brutality by the
police, of the destruction of the old
union headquarters by the masked
gang of Loray mill bosses hirelings,
and the voluntary formation of the
strikers guard to protect the new
headquarters.
He described the work of the
Workers international Relief in the
tent colony it had established fol-
strikers evicted with their families,
their little ones and their sick, by
the Loray bosses. He told of the
feeding of the strikers by the w. l.
R. He described the help given strik-
ers arrested for strike activities by
the |. l.. D.

Then Beal was questioned in de-
tail by both the defense and the state
as to the content of his speeches

Yankee capitalism will destroy itself
with this new injustice. The fight
ing spirit of Gastonia and southern
proletariat, black and white, who are
struggling together against their
exploiters in the interests of their
class, will question in short time
the illusion that the U. S. capitalists
are the most strongly entrenched in
the world, and the American prole-
tariat will fight with greater i'm
petus than any other part of the
world, for the freedom of the work
ing class"

THE GRAPE MYRTLE

The abundance of Grape myrtle in
bloom at the present time in and about
Washington is another reminder OF the
fact that gardening here is neither dis
tinctly northern nor southern. The
Grape myrtle is not classified as hardy
plant in Philadelphia and certain OF the
older gardeners about this city tell OF
Winters when the Grape myrtle has been
killed back Such Winter at least has
not occurred during the last 10 years, so
the Grape myrtle can be classed as
reasonably safe for planting In this
vicinity.
AS a long and profuse bloomer the
Grape myrtle has no equal among orna-
mental shrubs. Think how transitory
sre the lilac, deutzias and other Spring
towering shrubs, and then consider that
a Grape myrtle may stay in bloom for
six weeks or more. and the correctness
of the adjective long blooming" be-
comes apparent.
Note the colors of the Grape myrtles
about the city. and one will find a
whole range of colorS from white
through the pinks TO reddish purple.
Pink seems to be the popular color. One
reason for the great number Of colorS
is the fact that the rape myrtle propa-
gates readily from seed and seedlings
are rarely true to the parent color.
Grape myrtle is easily propagated from
cuttings Of the mature wood or soft
wood cuttings taken at this season and
placed in propagating frame.
In respect to culture, this shrub has
few special requirements. 1t is unusu-
ally free of pests, either insects or dis
ease, and seems to thrive in most any
type OF soil. especially the more fertile
grades. Pruning is required to keep the
plants in bound otherwise they will
quickly become small trees of rather
scraggly habit of growth. Heavy prun-
ing in early Spring is desirable, thereby
inducing many new shoots, the ends OF
which break into bloom in July.
The diversity OF types rs shown in
colorS is also evident in time of bloom.
Some plants have not yet lowered.
while others have been in bloom for a
month. This variation is not altogether
a disadvantage, as 1t extends the period
Of bloom where one has several plants.
Aside from the flowers, the plant itself
is very attractive because of its smooth,
glossy leaves, usually of reddish hue.

LILIES in BLOOM

Roy c. Pierce, secretary OF the
Takoma Horticultural Club, one of the
most successful non-professional lily
growers in this vicinity, informs us that
certain of the species are now at their
very best. Lilium Philippinense formos--
anum. with beautiful long trumpet
flowers of purest white. is being grown
very successfully by Edwin C. Powell of
Silver Spring, Md. This lily has proved
perfectly hardy.
Vim T. Simmons of Takoma Park,
D. c.. has planting OF Lnium henryi,
known commonly as the yellow Specio-
sum, in bloom. The flower stalks stand
five feet in height and are very attrac-
tive with abundant blooms. Charles C..
Carroll, also of Takoma Park. D. c. has
fine group OF Lilium auratum in
bloom. This is the gold banded lily Of
Japan and is described by Mr.. Pierce
as being hardy in this vicinity but not
permanent in the same sense as the
tiger lily, which endures. one might say.
almost perpetually. Mr.. Pierce has
Lilium Speciosum, variety rubrum, in
bloom. This is hardy species, semi
permanent in this locality, and really
one of the most beautiful Of the out
door species. Mr.. Pierce still has some
flowers of Lillium tigrinum, but they are
rapidly passing. F. Joy Hopkins Of
Takoma Park, Md. succeeded in flower
ing the tender Indian lily, Lilium neilr
gherrenes, outdoors this Summer. but it
has now passed bloom. The bulbs Of
this species have to be lifted and stored
under protection during Winter.
Mr. Pierce has supplied these notes.
thinking that they may interest some
OF the home gardeners and also to
show that one may have lilies in flower
over a long period, from June onward.
He rightfully believes that gardeners
should enlarge their lily paintings to in
clude some of these less common species.

GARDEN ITEMS

The rain of the last week proved a
blessing to most gardens-in fact, to
all gardens except those few which are
adequately watered by artificial means.
The soil had become dry to consider
able depth and it will take q prolonged
rain to really bring 1t back to good co.,
dition. One must admire plants for
their ability to survive periods OF
drought.
The hollyhock, mallow and rose OF
Sharon or althea, are all closely re-
lated plants as study Of the flowers
and seed pods will show The mallows
and altheas are now in bloom. The
latter is almost too common. but the
malows might we'll be used to much
greater extent. especially the new i'm
proved varieties with larger flowers and
more brilliant colorS.
Cover crops for the vegetable garden
and for the orchard are now In order.
Crimson clover is on excellent cover
pected the soil should be worked lit
tie and fertilized if not naturally fer
tile. Winter rye may now be SoWn,
but wherever possible use the clover
because of its greater potential fertiliz-
ing value.
Dahlia plants should now be growing
rapidly in anticipation OF Autumn flow
ering. Sheep manure and bone meal
are excellent fertilizers in lieu Of old
rotted manure, which is best Of all, but
not easily procurable, especially in the
small quantities often required in the
small garden. Stalking the dahlia
plants will save disappointment later

when winds and rain are very apt to
beat down the heavy Succulent stalks.
Cultivation and fertnizing Of the roses
will insure an abundant Autumn crop
of blooms Very often the late crop OF
roses nearly equals in quality that Of
Spring.
The drought had its usual effect Oil
chrysanthemums, that Of causing the
lower leaves to wither and drop. In
some cases, leaf spot disease may be
present, but drought is the most likely
cause. The plants may well be sprayed
with Bordeaux mixture as precautton-
airy measure. Progress is being made In
the methods Of making Bordeaux. It
has been found that finely divided cop
per sulphate gives quicker and better
results than the standard coarse crystals
usually used.
Browning Of the lawn need not cause
serious alarm since the roots are not
easily injured.
The Home Fruit Orchard" is the
title Of a new book by DIR. u. p. Hedrick
Of the New York State Experiment Sta
ton. Dr. Hedrick has written many
books for the professional fruit grower
and now comes to the help of the home
gardener, who, by the way. has been
Surfeited with books on flowers and
vegetables, but few on fruits.
There Is yet plenty Of time to sub
divide and reset the iris paintings. A
sensible program would be to divide
some of the iris each year, leaving part
undisturbed. Iris is usually at its best
the second and third seasons after re-
setting.

We believe that this difaculty can be |
remedied In the following manner:

We believe that this difficulty can be
remedied In the following manner:
place O cashier In each department
where any fees have to be paid. This
would obviate always going to room 100
on the FIRST floor when necessary to pay
fees, and then returning to the depart
ment where the business is being trans
acted. This is q very simple matter 10
be worked out. 1t Is not likely that the
cashier in any department would use all
his time to transact the financial busi-
ness In that department and these
cashiers could make q settlement each
night with an auditor.
What we suggest Is simply the
method by which business Is transacted
in any store. How long do you think a
department store could keep a customer
who has bought book on the NTH
floor, is told to 60 to the first floor to
pay for it and return to the fifth floor
with the receipted bill to get the book?
This Is precisely what we are asked to
do now in the District Building, and
while there will be some trouble to make
this rearrangment 1t will be trener-
dous help to the hundreds of people
who are daily transacting business with
the government and who are In q sense
the customers of the District govern
ment"

THE BAG WORM

Considerable injury to evergreens by
the bag worm has been reported from
various sources about the city. Arbor
vitae apparently has been the favorite
food plant, but the insect has by no
means confined its attack to this spe-
cies. and has been found on Norway
spruce and other conifers. The bag
worm scarcely can be considered a Seri-
Gus insect, because its control is so
simple and certain. yet it is capable of
doing great injury II allowed to go I'M
checked. especially to small dwarf forms
OF evergreens.
James A. Hyslop. in charge of the
insect pest survey of the Department of
Agriculture. suggests spraying with ar
senate of lead or Paris green in the
case of large trees or numerous trees,
and the simple expedient of collecting
the bag-like nests in the case of a few
small plants. OF course, the bags should
be destroyed following collection.
The bag worm has an interesting
habit Of living. Like the snail, it car
ries its protecting cover throughout life
that is, through the larval and pupal
stage until it emergeS as an adult but
terfiy. During its feeding life, the bag
worm attaches itself loosely to the
evergreen twig, feeding while thus at
tached and then moving bag and worm
to new location when food is ex-
hausted within reach. Finally, upon
completing feeding, the insect attaches
the bag very firmly and goes into the
pupal stage. Those who may have tried
to pull off bag worms In this stage car
attest to the fact that they do a good
job OF fastening themselves to the
twig.
Mr.. Hyslop states that outbreaks Of
bag worms such as the one occurring
this year are extremely rare and explains
the situation on the basis Of parasitical
enemies which become depleted for
some reason, perhaps simply from the
shortage of bag worms for food. In
the absence of parasites, the bag worm
quickly increases, with a resulting cpl
denic, so to speak. With renewed food
supply. the parasites again rapidly in
