MACAULAY REPEATS SUGGESTION
THAT RESERVE BOARDBUYBONDS

by Federal Reserve action. This policy
was effective between 1922 and 1929.
Urges Test of Proposal.
This brings Mr. Macaulay to the con-
clusion that, inasmuch as the Federal
Reserve directors have established a
precedent for stabilizing currency and
have since 1922 prevented imitation by
selling bonds when enormous gold i'm
ports were in progress, they should now
go further than they have up to this
time and supplement this years pur-
chases of $3.50 100000 of Government
bonds, which have prevented commod-
ity prices from falling even lower than
those experienced, and take up gradu-
ally an additional $500000,000 Of Gov
ernment paper. These purchases would
be paid for by currency or by credits
on their books.
There has been considerable opposi-
ton to the previous proposals of the
same tenor by Mr.. MacaViay, but no
direct response from the Federal Re
serve. He believes that the proposal
should be tested and that if it succeeds
Federal Reserve authorities will have
earned the gratitude of the world" "
Little harm. he believes, will have been
done should it fail.

only a teaspoonfrl Of water every two
or three weeks.
After We had experimental with Il
for couple Of months, we came to the
conclusion that the cactus in captivity
is decidedly different from the cactus
in the Sahara Desert or the Mohave
Desert, or wherever 1t Is cactuses Cor
cactD grow.
We would have done much better If
we had given the bowl, which was
about 3 inches across, q half cup Of
water every week.
*
Water is the point upon which most
indoor gardeners founder.
little
They think to counteract indoor dry
ness by floating their pots in LIQUID, but
the plant Is given more than it can
handle
The result is that its earth gets soggy
and its leaves moldy.
Or they withhold water to such an
extent that the poor specimen gives
over the task of life and kerf1ops, as
the children say.
To water or not to water, that is the
question, and it is one which only
women can answer, for they seem to
nave keener eyes to catch the signs of
plant distress.
No lady ought to feel complimented
by the above paragraph, however, for
the truth IS that, as they comprise the
bulk of the indoor Winter gardeners, so
also they constitute almost the entire
list OF failures with plants at this sea-
son. Some people do not seem to be
able to raise even the paper-white mar
cissi, and as for hyacinths all they get
is leaves.
The main difficulty must be tempera-
ture, usually too high, and not moist
enough. Unheated porches which open
into heated rocms, with doors left open
between, constitute good indoor flower
grounds.
1t is noticeable that many such
glassed porches in the greater apart
ment buildings are filled with what
seem to the passerby to be horticultural
specimens in prime condition.
AT one time in this country no home
was complete without its ferns. One
still sees many of these In the porches
mentioned and in the older homes of
the city, houses with huge windows
reaching from ceiling to floor, in which
usually repose several potted plants,
ranging from ferns to the almost ex-
tinct rubber plant, at least upon occa-
sion.
u
Is it significant that one seldoms sees
a fern or other house plant in the
newer homes? The place of honor in
the window is given to a pretty lamp
whose main purpose often seems to be
to flash forth the opulence of the house
holder.
A plant is scarcely a fiashy thing,
except something such as the poinsettia,
used largely at Christmas time on &C.
count of its contrasted green and red.
Yet there is nothing nicer-we believe
that is the exact word-in home than
we'll grown specimen of some beauti-
full house plant. Whether it be tulips,
or begonias, or the old favorite gera-
NUNS, or lilies of the valley, it gives
any home, the smallest or largest, a
note of genuine interest, appreciated by
those who may be left cold by the finest
display Of furniture or interior decora-
ton.
Flowers are, in fact, real interior
decoration, and those who can grow
them by all means ought to do so.

Urges Half-HOliday
For Federal Group

To the Editor Of The Star:
Although there is q law on the
statute books Of the District Of Column
bia that specifically declares that every
Saturday after IL O'Clock noon shall
be q holiday In the District for all pur-
poses Just the same IS Christmas
day or the 4th of July or other legal
holiday" it has been an impoSsibility
to obtain the enforcement OF this law by
any administration since its enactment
in 1902, and it therefore becomes nee
essary to ask the Congress to enact
legislation affecting all Federal en-
ployes alike. Such bill passed the
Senate at the last session but failed to
pass the House. However, it is believed
that 1t will be acted upon favorably at
an early date in the coming session.
That Controller General McCarl IA
vors this legislation is shown by the
following statement:
I'm view Of the lack of uniformity
and because of the long-existing prac-
tice Of the executives of requiring a full
days work on Saturdays except during
the Summer months, 1t would no doubt
avoid much confusion and complaint II
the matter should be covered by specific
legislation as the administrative
head of the general accounting Office, 1
would favor the granting of Saturday
half holidays to all Federal employees
whose services may be spared which
would be in harmony with the trend Of
employment policies in the commercial
world"
The League Of the American Civil
Service has been sponsoring such legis-
lation for several years, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission is favorable to it and we
have every reason to believe in the
early passage of the bill.
The cost to the Government of the
proposed legislation cannot very we'll be
estimated, since 1t does not involve a
direct cost, but there is no evidence that
the granting of Saturday half-holidays
for four months Of the year has resulted
in any increased cost, therefore We are
persuaded that the quantity of work
performed will not be materially les
sensd by the enactment of this lsgisla-
