 All the same. that is the situation confronting the nation. It is not the only peculiarity inherent with Con- stitutional procedure.
 Take, for instance, the rXethod Of choosing a President. It is possible . under the electoral system for the candidate receiving the lower popu- lar vote to receive the higher electoral vote and thus be elected
 Should that happen it would create quite a sensation--but it can hap pen. and even in the last presid election Mr. Hoover did not receive relatively as high a popular vote as
 his electoral vote would indicate. Then there is the system of har- ing a lame duck Congress after congressional elections. resulting in
 numerous congressman being em- powered to make or unmake laws after they have been discredited at the polls. Such congressman are un-
 representative and irresponsible, yet they are allowed to function. There is a lot Of reforming done 1 in this nation, and there are count 1 less professional retormers whose main conception of being busy is to break into the newspapers. prefer ably on Page One.
 The trouble is the reforming is 1 done at the wrong place.

 Colonel Havers was q cowboy in his early days and he becomes sar- castle when he thinks of Tom Mi3 and other motion picture cowboys who dress up in fancy clothing of the kind the speaker says real cow boys never saw.
 Colonel Havers recently spoke to the Rotary club on the marvels Of modern photography and his talk at that time was so enjoyed that he was asked to return to give the western lecture.
 Illustrating his talk with stereop- ticon slides, some of them from ac- tual photographs and others, copies of famous paintings, he pictured the carly life of America from the days when the red man and the buffalo roamed the prairics. tracing the de- volopments in the country's pioneer period to the appearance of Colonel Cody.

Moderation Ordered By Soviets In Atheism Campaign Efforts

Moscow, March o1 P-Offical out the anti-religious campaign of the Soviet government and the com- inunist party was the interpretation gained today from speeches before the opening of the all-union con- gress of atheists.
 Speakers told the congress that their propagandists must abandon the idea that religion can be eXter- minated in Russia overnight. They declared that eXcesses committed by atheistic workers and village off cials in the war on religion must forthwith cease.
 No Force to Be Used
 The conclave was warned that no attempt must be made, to close churches by force, to remove church bells. to coerce peasants into join ing the league of the goddess, or to proclaim entire districts as "atheis- tic regions"
 The alternative of peaceful ar gument, persuasion, and propaganda, and scientific explanations were listed by Emelyan 1aroslavsky chairman of the society of militant atheists. who declared that propa- ganda particularly must be intensi- fled among women who, he said, were more ignorant and supcrsti- tious than men.

THE HOME GARDENER
.WELLNG
THE CLADIOLUS

Marked interest was displayed by
Takoma Horticultural Club members In
a talk on gladiolus varieties and culture
given last Monday evening by DR.. Eu-
gene A. Hollowell of the Department
Of Agriculture. 1t was quite evident
that this attractive flower Is highly ap-
preciated by the home gardeners. First
discussing varieties, DR.. Hollowen stated
that there are possibly 1000 varieties
of gladiolus in existence, over half of
which are listed in catalogs and price
lists. This multiplicity of varieties
makes a choice for the garden rather
difficult. Among yellow varieties, DR..
Hollowell recommended Gold, Golden
Measure, Golden Dream and Souvenir.
In lavenders, DR.. Moody, Minuet, Capt.
Boynton and Mrs. F. G. Peters were
suggested. For reds, Crimson Glow,
DR.. F.. E. Bennett, War and Dixie were
favored, and for pinkS, Mr.. w. H.
Phipps, Mr.. Leon Douglas and Pink
Mother Machree, e. j. Shaylor and Mrs.
H. E. Barthon were commended. Mrs.
F.. c. Hornberger was mentioned as q
desirable white.
Taking up the matter of diseases,
DR.. Hollowell spoke Of three distinct
troubles, namely, hard rot, dry rot and
scab and recommended for all three
the dipping Of bulbs for 80 minutes to
hours in mercury solutions, such as
mercury bichloride, part in 1000
parts of water. This treatment should
be given before the bulbs start in the
Spring, as it is liable to injure young
roots or shoots. Mercury compounds
are poisonous and must be kept from
children and animals.
Planting may begin, according to DR..
Hollowell, as early as the middle of
March in this locality and continue
to the middle of June. Early planting
gives larger bulbs, more bulblets and
better flowers because growth Is made
during the cooler and moister weather
Depth of planting ranged from a COW
ering Of 2 inches Of soil to somewhat
deeper, but for bulb increase the shall
lower depth Is recommended. Close
planting was favored as O result Of ex-
perience, DR.. Hollowell stating that
close planting evidently shades the
soil and keeps It cooler.
For fertilizer, well rotted manure was
admitted superior to all others, but In
its absence complete mixture gave
best results. In his own garden, DR..
Hollowen commences by placing cotton
seed meal or soy bean meal In the soil
under the bulbs and follows by top

Freezing temperature during the week
Of April al did surprisingly little dam
age within the city, but further out in
the suburbs gardeners were not 50 for
tunate. Quite fortunately there was
considerable movement Of the air on
the coolest night and this tended to
prevent frost formation. Fruit bios
SONS are not necessarily killed at 80
degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, DR.. Chand-
Ter, in his book entitled Fruit Grow
ing" tells us that fully open peach
blooms withstood % degrees Fahren-
heit in one instance. However, little
later, when the little peaches were be-
ginning to develop, % degrees Fahren-
heit proved very injurious. Apple
blooms, strange as it would seem, are
not as resistant to freezing as are peach
vantage over strawberries and ground
plants In that the blooms are above
the coolest layer Of air.
With the fine varieties Of Darwin and
May Towering tulips now coming into
bloom in the home garden, flower time
has arrived In earnest, with its ample
reward to the foresighted gardener who
thought and acted last Autumn. Tulip
bulbs are so relatively cheap in price
that 1t is no wonder they are being
used In greater quantities each year.
Edwin G. Powell, president Of the
Takoma Horticultural Club, tells me
that he has successfully lowered the
paper-white narcissus out of doors by
the simple expedient Of planting the
bulbs In November, when the low tenn
perature prevents premature Towering.
1t would then be necessary to lift the
bulbs each Spring. holding them in O
cool, dry place until November. Some
time ago the statement was made In
this column that paper-white narcissus
