THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

INSTRUMENTATION Of flower names Is
not crime, it simply is unnecessary,
| that Is all.
It is just as easy to pronounce them
correctly, but one would never know
it from listening to flower lovers.
grow hydrangeas miscaI them "hyge-
ranium"
They take the "hy' from hydrangea
and the "geranium" from that word and
put the two together in sublime indiffer-
| ence to right or wrong.
Not one out of ten would think Of
tripping up on geyanium. yet that is not
q particularly easy word, and the flower
| itself is scarcely more popular.
Surely it is Just as easy to say by
drangea as "hygeranium.'
Hearing a gentleman once speak of
his "magnolium" bulbs. we could not
figure out what he meant, but at last
discovered that he was speaking Of
gladioli.
An even commoner mistake is "gladi-
ola" for gladiolus, but there Is some
excuse for this, as the proper name is
hard one.
Even the fanciers are split on the
proper pronunciation. We will not go
into this matter again, having treated
1t at length upon several occasions.
It is enough to say that the accent
goes either on "t'' or on the 90" as one
prefers to pronounce according to the
Latin or the English Cor American,
which is still another thing.
If the glad fans" themselves can
come to no agreement upon the word,
perhaps it is no wonder that the general
public gives the matter up in despair
and invents pronunciations of its own,
"Gladiola" is so widespread that we
have noted it in catalogues which other
wise adhered strictly to the best scien-
tiflc and popular names.

Many a person calls the iris by the
wrong title Of irish"
Now, irish" especially when spelled
with capital, is a good word, but it
would nearer fit the shamrock perhaps.
It gets this application to a flower
solely through slovenly mental habits.
One has heard the word Irish" so
often that when he becomes interested
In the beautiful iris he Immediately
takes the line of least resistance.
Flower names are peculiar, no doubt
of it. They are different, and for that
very reason must be looked at carefully,
especially when one first makes their
acquaintance.
There is o first time with flowers, Just
90 WAtAA PCOPACs VIC may 11NC ~ years
or so without having a real speaking
acquaintance with the rose.
We all know roses, of course, but not
until we grow bush or two of our own

Every one knows that it is necessary
to get fellow human beings name
right in order to avoid future embar-
raSsment.
Mr.. Jones will not thank you for
calling him Mr.. Smith the next time
you meet, nor will Mr.. Paddington be
enthralled with the title of "Whadding-
ton"
These are little things In life, yet
large in everyday conduct.
Pronunciation of flower names Is
easy enough If one will take the time
and trouble on first reading them or
hearing them to actually become ac-
quainted with them.
But there is tendency In human ma
ture, especially adult human nature, to
shy from this slight amount of work.
Perhaps 1t reminds one too forcibly

Chicago Gangsters Break Bounds.

While Chicago gangsters have been
ruthless in their murderous enterprise
for several years, and particularly
was occasioned by the fact that they
preyed upon one another, and that the
honest, law-abiding members Of the
community were not made victims Of
their crimes. So long as the mortality
occurred within the limits of gangland
no very grave concern was felt on the
score of the public safety. But now
comes a new element in the case, the
murder Of an outsider" a newspaper
man being shot down in the street by
q gunman who escaped. No crime has
so aroused and outraged Chicago since
the Staying of William McSwiggin, as
sistant States attorney, in 1927, his
murder being an act Of vengeance for
his prosecution of the gangs.
Jake" Lingle, the latest victim of
Chicago gunner, was a veteran re-
porter for the Chicago Tribune. He
specialized In news of crime. He was
thoroughly familiar with the personnel
of gangland. He knew the ms and
outs Of the racketeering game. He was
rated as thoroughly honest, man who
kept his word with those who gave
him news, playing no fayorites, respect
ed by the gangsters and trusted by
the police. His was dangerous posi-
ton, but he had occupied 1t in security
for years and evidently had no fears
for his safety. There is a report that
he had recently incurred the bitter
enmity Of a crooked operator who
sought the privilege of resuming a
gambling game and used Lingle as q
"sounder" respecting the police attitude
toward him. Lingle reported to him
that there was no chance and the
gambler, it is said, accused him of
"double-crossing" and threatened to
"gst even" This report has caused
the detention Of the gambler as a
suspect.
Now war has been declared by the
Chicago authorities on gangland and
q determination to purge the city OF
the evil Of racketeering gunner has
been expressed. 1t does seem a BIT
anomalous that, after long series OF
unpublished crimes, the victims Of which
were criminals themselves, the death Of
a single citizen, who lived and worked
in the twilight zone of crime ir the
pursuit Of news, should arouse such Q
feeling. Yet there is decided differ.

Round Robins.

The round robin season has arrived.
Opponents of immediate consideration
by the Senate Of the London naval
treaty started the game when they
undertook to sign up Senators who
would pledge themselves to a proposal
to adjourn the Senate if after a week
Of debate in the prospective special ses-
sion TO be called by President Hoover
there was no prospect of action on
the treaty. Such an agreement would
be tantamount to compact not TO
deal with the treaty until next Fall,
for no one expects the Senate to con-
clude its debate on the treaty within
a week, especially If the opponents have
notice of the fact that an adjournment
would be taken at the conclusion of
that time.
And now the supporters of the treaty,
taking O leaf out of the book of the
faction seeking delay, have circulated a
round robin pledging Senators to stay
on the job during the extra session
until the treaty shall have been acted
upon. In some quarters it is claimed
that the proponents already have 40
Senators either signed up or pledged
TO such a course of action, with others
coming into their camp rapidly. Forty
eight Is one-half of the entire mem
bership of the Senate. A motion to adj
iourn would have to be supported by q
majority in order TO carry.
Once the Senate has been assembled
in special session to deal with the Lon
don treaty, however, it is not likely
that round robins will be necessary to
keep the Senators from either voting
an adjournment or slipping away to
break a quorum. The attention of the
entire country will be centered on the
Senate and on individual Senators
Those who undertake to abandon their
jobs will find the spotlight turned full
upon them. The belief is expressed by
Senator Borah, chairman Of the foreign
relations committee and in charge OF
the treaty. that Senators will not under
take to run away from their duty when
there Is a demand for their presence
here In Washington.
The opposition to the treaty in the
Senate, twisting and turning, has sue
ceeded In keeping the treaty in the
foreign relations committee for weeks
But there are indications that the

Deadlock on the D. c. Bill.

If the size OF The limp surn in the
pending District of Columbia, appropria-
ton bill was based on the principle of
adequate development of the American
Capital, with due consideration of the
responsibilities of the United States and
the rights of the local taxpayers. the
Senate's recommended $12,00o,00 would
be carried, representing fair compro-
mise between the inadequacy of the
100000 lump sum and the amount
legally due the District under exist
ing substantive law. The statement Of
the Senate conferees yesterday, sup
ported by the Senate, outlines a position
that would be impregnable If the
assaults upon it were confined to
reasonable objection.
Unfortunately for the District, the
size of the lump sum for the last six
fiscal years has not been based on any
thing but the arbitrary decision of Q
few members of the House. It has
never been subjected to any fair or
impartial analysis. Its only defense
has been the strategic position of the
House, which has enabled its leaders to
dictate to the Senate on the theory
that the lump sum will be what they
want or nothing. The victories of the
House have been won by an obstinate
disregard of the rights of others.
It is unthinkable that the able lead
ers in Congress will continue to allow
the present deadlock between House
and Senate on the District bill to con-
tinue indefinitely; that each years
consideration of the appropriation bill,
symbolizing the exclusive power of gov
eminent by Congress over commu-
nifty of half a million voteless Amer
leans, will be marked by a sharp dis
agreement between House and Senate
over a fundamental issue involving the
rights Of these Americans as well as the
efficiency of Congress to govern.
The accepted and the reasonable way
Of ending this controversy is, for the
time being, a compromise. The second
step is to provide for an investigation
Of the facts, such as that outlined In
the now dormant Moore bill for COM
mission on fiscal relations. The Moore
bill has been consigned for the time
being to the limbo of those "contro-
versial' measures toward which the
House leaders entertain such fear when
they affect the politically impotent
District of Columbia.
If there Is any sound reason why
this procedure should not be followed,
1t has not been stated. Arrogant re-
fusal to compromise or listen to reason
Is not an attitude on the part Of our
au-powerful rulers in the House that
invites respect for their decision.
