CITIZENS URGE
FUNDS FOR BRIDGE
Michigan Park Association
Acts to Eventuate Construc-
ton Over Michigan Avenue.

Action designed to eventuate in the
construction of bridge and viaduct
over the B. a. o. Railroad tracks on
Michigan avenue was taken last night
by the Michigan Park Citizens Associa-
ton. A variety of subjects engaged the
association at its meeting at 1912
Twelfth street northeast.
After discussion a committee was des-
tgnated to confer with the District
Commissioners and urge that funds Tor
the bridge construction be included IN
the budget and carried in the next ap-
preparation bill for the District. In
connection with the discussion, resolu-
tons were adopted thanking The Eve
ming Star for a recent series OF articles
describing the position of the Michigan
Park residents with respect to the ques-
ton of closing Michigan avenue.
The association supported the action
of the Brookland association in favor
of a new fire engine house and COM
pany at or near Twelfth street and
Rhode Island avenue northeast, men,
bers again commenting on what was
said to be insufficient fire protection for

Takes Time And Skill
; To Start A Lily Hybrid

No group of plants offers greater
possibilities for development of new
and improved varieties than do the
lilies, says DR.. David Griffiths, bulb
| specialist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, although in
the past the hybrid varieties have
been relatively scarce and many hy-
brids have disappeared because the
breeder did not take pains to work
up an adequate stock of bulbs to
maintain the variety.
"TO produce new lilies is not a
difficult matter" says Doctor Grif-
fiths. The main requisite in the
breeder is a steadfastness of pur-
pose, a prospective long lease of
life, and a business or a competence
that will permit the expenditure of
effort for the accomplishment of his
purpose, for remuneratiVe returns
are not to be expected"
Doctor Griffiths, describing the de-
tails of crossing or hybriding, says
shat it is after this that the work
begins. A cross may produce one or
more improved varieties and many
other varieties that will be discard
ed. Then it is necessary to work up
stock of planting material by one
of the several processes of Vege-
tative propagation which Doctor
Grifiths describes. He says this is
time consuming and may seem la
B6rious, but may be done with COM
parative rapidity. He cites his own
experience as an example. He plant
ed hybrid seed in the fall of 1918. 1t
lay dormant in 1919 and came up
vigorously in 1920. In 1924 he Sc
lected one Seeding to establish a
new variety. "The bulb was scaled
Closely and planted Immediately. 1t
and its progeny were dug again in
1925, scaled, and reset again. 1t was
then left undisturbed until 1927,
when a propagation of 1000 was
started. This may be considered as
fairly representative of good perfor-
nance in working up stock of ny
brid lilies. It takes time, but the re-
suits are well worth the effort. 1t is
estimated that a propagation of TO-
600 ought to be possible from this
in August, 1929. With no mishaps,
100000 plants should be started in
1881"

CGSein Excellent As
SpreGder In Spray

A mixture of lead arsenate and
water, when sprayed ON the fruit
| and foliage of a tree, does not
spread as evenly over the surface as
is desirable. The liquid tends to col
lect in drops and much of it rclls
off. To overcome this certain mater
| ials known as spreaders are used.
The use of spreaders in codling-
moth sprays is comparatively new,
says the Bureau of Entomology, Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture. So far as is known at present,
a spreader is a desirable addition to
a lead arsenate spray. 1t is possible
to control the insect just as thor
oughly without the spreader as with
it. 1t is somewhat easier, however,
to give the fruit complete coat Of
poison when a spreader is included.
The spreader can not be depended
ON to make the spray go further, eX-
cept that without it there is a ten
dency to overspray, until the ma
terial collects in relatively large
drops. The spreader added to lead
arsenate has the advantage of elm
mating the conspicuous white blot
ches that usually appear on fruit
sprayed with the arsenical alone.
Chemical analyses show that there
is just as much poison on an apple
when a spreader has been used as
when it has not. The difference is
that the poison is more evenly dis
tributed.
Among the best spreaders are
soap, certain oil emulsions, glue,
and casein. Casein is by far the most
satisfactory spreader obtainable at
present. In its pure form it does not
mix with water, and it must be COM
bined with an alkali before it can
be put into the spray tank. The man
ufacturer generally does this, but |
any grower can mix his own spread
er by directions the Department of |
Agriculture will furnish upon appli-
cation.

Doors That Decorate
By Jeanne Gilbert

Plain painted walls and decorated
doors form a distinctive background
for the loVeliest furniture.
There's nothing faddish about or
namented doors, as their history
dates back to the Middle Ages when
Gothic architecture had its begin
ming. In other periods, the idea of
decorating doors persisted. adding
novel touches to rooms furnished
either in the ornate style of Louis
XIV or in the simple fashion of Col
Onial days.
Panels may be treated with a CEN
trail or all-over pattern by means of
stencil designs, the cOlOrs used gen.
orally contrasting with the usual
white, ivory, or gray of the door
thus finished. If the door is to be
in keeping with the Louis XIV per-
iod, pastel tints might be used for
the design which is probably lavish
ly ornamented with fruit, flowers,
and acanthus leaves.
Another type of decorated door il
lustrates the tendencies in decOra
ton that arrived with the French
Empire Period The panels of door
of this type may be outlined with
black stripping, forming a frame for
the designs that are to be placed i'll
each panel. Being return to the
symbolism of Egypt, Greece, and
Rome, the designs deal with such
war-like insignia as a helmet and
swords. Small decorations of var
iOus patterns may be transferred to
the door by the use of decalcOman-
las.
The fresh light coloring and white
woodwork that is associated with
Colonial interior forms an apprO-
pirate background for Ornamentad
doors. Dainty and quaint floral de-
signs, applied either by stencils or
decalcomanias, would be attractive
in any room with simple Colonial
furnishings, but they would be par
ticularly lovely in a bedroom Col
onial woodwork, however, is not
white-indeed, soft grays
and creams are frequently found in
old Colonial hOmesteads. When
doors are tinted there is a delight
full opportunity to develop two and
three-tOne effects or an equally
charming contrast.
Three shades of one color make a
commonplace door suddenly inter-
esting. For example, a three-tOne
stencil pattern, in which gray-blue, |
marine blue, and navy blue are used, /
will make the most ordinary gray
door an object of admiration. A /
touch of black, such as the stripping
on the Empire door, gives character
to doors painted in the customary .
woodwork coloring. Often a stripe |
outlining panels of a door is suffi /
cient decoration. Another suggestion
is to paint the whole surface of the .
panels a different color from the
rest of the door.
Doors lose their forbidding aspect
if color or decoration is added.
Front doors particularly must be in
viting, and many home owners have
found bright red, blue, or green
none too gay for a welcoming col

A novel design, touch of color
and doors that once were symbols
Of chill austerit ybecome represen-
Latives of a cordial welcome. The

GiGHt-Type SugGTcGRe
GrOUS Well In Florida

A giant type of sugarcane which
grows 25 to 80 feet high in its native
home, the island of New Guinea, is
now making satisfactory growth at
Canal Point, Fla, according to re-
ports just received by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The cane in question belongs to
new species (Saccharum robustum)
which has not yet been described
bOtanically. 1t was located and
brought back to the United States by
DR.. E. w. Brandes, of the depart
ment, who made an exploration trip
to New Guinea in 1928 in cearch of
disease-resistant varieties.
Plants of the new species are Wig
OrOus growers and are resistant to
many diseases which attack sugar
cane in this country. The sugar
content of the new cane is rather
low, and for this reason plans are
being made to cross it with other
plants having higher sugar content.
This work will take several years.
In April about 80 varieties of su-
garcane cuttings were sent to the
Canal Point field station for trial
planting. Before these cuttings could
be planted in Florida they had to
grow in quarantine at the Arlington
Experimental Farm for one year to
prevent introduction of new pests or
diseases.
AS precautionary measure a du-
plicate collection of plants sent to
the United States was left in Aus
tralia for year by Doctor Brandes
and his party. About 40 varieties of
these cuttings are still growing in
Australia but will be sent 10 this
country shortly. Only a small por-
tiOn of the cuttings sent direct to /
Washington from New Guinea sur .
vived, but nearly all of those which
came by the Australian route have
lived.

CACTUS STEW

Several hundred families of Papa
go Indians migrate into the giant
cactus forests" in Arizona each
summer to harvest the cactus fruits.
Most families make to 10 gallons
of sirup and smaller quantities of
conserves from these fruits, using
no sugar in the process. Some of the
older Indians still harvest the fiow-
er buds of another species of cactus
after seasons of heavy rainfall and
use them in a sort of vegetable stew,
meat broth, or relish. The United
States Department of Agriculture
and Department of Interior are
seeking to help the Indians make
even greater use of the giant cac-
tus and other species of eacti.

COUNTY

Kent County, Md, Com
; pletes Fifteen Year Job
In One Year.
By E. E. Duffy

How a small rural community
may make the most of its highway
funds is admirably illustrated by
Kent county, Maryland, where re-
Gently 81 miles of single track hard
surfaced roads were dedicated.
These pavement were built within
one year and without increase in
taxes. Kent county claims that it
las solved its road problem-and
any one who has journeyed through
Sthe fertile Del-Mar-Va country
knows that the mud and dust there
made it real problem. The solution
Of the road problem is all the more
remarkable because of Kent coun-
tvs small population of 10000.
Kent county crammed a fifteen
year road job into one year. AT first
it seemed that this would be a gi-
gantic task, one beyond the lbility
OF the little community. But
strangely, the only effort involved on
the part of taxpayers, aside from ar
duous planning and educational
work on the part of the Kent county
NChamber of Commerce, was mark
ing an X on a ballot. Taxpayers
won't even be required to pay a cent
of additional taxes for the pave
ments, except that they will do more
travelling and consequently their
contribution to the state gasoline
tax fund will be somewhat enlarg-
ed.
y At first glance this seems like a
bit of Utopia, but in reality it's moth
ing more than cOmmOnsense financ-
ing. In Maryland, as in most states,
"a portion of the gasoline tax money
is refunded to counties by the State.
Kent county simply capitalized on
this assured income and issued
100000 in road bonds for pave
ments. The pavements were then
laid under the supervision of the eff
ficient state highway department.

are permanently surfaced in accord
ance with state specifications. In
Maryland, as in several other states,
the state highway department main
tains all main county roads that
have been properly improved. In ef-
feet, Kent county has shortened its
road problem by 81 miles.
; Narrow pavements, according to
road records, are gaining in popu-
larity throughout the country, with
something like 5000 miles in SER
vice. They are held economical and
Completely satisfactory where traf-
tic is light, finances limited, and
