Miss Buch Denies 1t.
Some time ago it was announced
in these columns that Miss Marie
Buch, Danish aviatrix, Washington.
D. c., was contemplating an airplane
trip from the national capital of the
United States to Copenhagen. The
young lady now says that while it
is true that she hopes to make the
trip, at some time in the future, she
must-as lover of the truth-deny
the story that she wants to attempt
the flight next year. She writes that
''it takes a lot of training, patience,
experience and money" but, she adds,
"some day I'm going to make it. So,
the denial Is not as categorical as it
might look at the first blush.

The Swedish Cultural League of

written by its president, Albin G. Wit

culture in America, and draws the
conclusion that Americans and Swedes
have quite a few valuable lessons to
teach each other. The purpose of the
book is to further Swedish understand

HINTS ON HEALTH
prepared and Furnished by the
Public Health Education
Committee of Minnesota
State Medical ASSN.

The coming of Winter and the coop
ing up season generally means the
coming of the shifting and coughing
season, says today's bulletin from the
Minnesota State Medical association.
If you want this to be pleasant,
healthy winter there are few prac-
teal and effective things you can do,
according to this bulletin, that will
cut down sickness enormously if they
are practiced by every man, woman
and child in Minnesota.
The first is-wash your hands often
and especially before meals.
Suppose you meet a friend today
with a sniffly cold. He thrusts wet
handkerchief in his pocket to shake
your way to lunch without washing
your hands. A day or two later when
you come down with the same cold
it may well have been the germ laden
moisture he left on your hand that
was responsible.
The same thing applies even more
seriously in the case of the typhoid
carrier, source of nearly all reported
cases of typhoid in these days Of pre-
vailing milk and water inspection.
The typhoid carrier is a dangerous
person who goes about, apparently
well, and mingling with others though
breeding and spreading typhoid germs.
Il is remarkable how easy it is for
this carrier to get the germs of the
disease on his hands, if he is not
scrupulous about washing them. Thus
he transfers germs to you or to your
food, if he is in a position to handle
food-and there are more mysterious
cases Of typhoid to account for. The
dread infantile paralysis gets about
by unsupported carriers, too, and by
infectious materials clinging to things
others may touch. These are isolated
instances of the damage unwashed
hands can do. You cannot always
know if you are in position to hand
on disease to others, the bulletin con-
cludes. You can, at least, be certain
that you have washed your hands
carefully after leaving the toilet room
after blowing your nose, as we'll as
before eating. as protection to others
and to yourself
Notice the doctor when he visits a
case of communicable disease. He
seldom comes down with diphtheria
or small pox or scarlet fever or ty-
phoid which he is called upon to care
for, though he is possessed of nc
magic whatever to protect himself.
He avoids the mouth spray from his
patient either talking or sneezing and
coughing. And, above all, he washes
his hands.

GRAPE BERRY MOTH

A large percentage Of home gardeners
have a grape arbor or at least vine
or two or a trellis, and 1t Is safe to say
that all of these grape growers have
had trouble at one time or another with
the grape berry moth whose progeny
find their way into the berries and be.
come the disagreeable fruit worm OF
mature grapes. The subject is brought
I'D at this time because it will soon be
the moment to strike a blow at this
pest. Its eggs are now laid on the new
shoots and young clusters of buds and
will soon hatch into tiny worms Wnlch
will enter the grapes when they nave
formed. A spray of lead arsenate, ap-
piled three or four days after the dos
SONS fall, will poison the worms pe1ore
they enter the berries, after which en-
trance, Of course, there Is notnlng 70

Farmers Bulletin No. 1920, entitled
"Insect and Fungous Enemies OF the
Grape" written by DR.. A. L. Quamtance
and DR.. C. L. Shear, discusses TINS pest
very thoroughly and tells how to controi
It. The lead arsenate is usually appneo
in Bordeaux mixture with the idea OF

arsenate of lead powder or 4.8 ounces
of arsenate of lead paste to five gallons

with all that is written about insect
control, the sum and essence OF tne
matter Is to get the right spray material
and put it on at as nearly the rlgn.
time as possible. The time TO comoat

GARDEN ITEMS

The hot. dry weather spoiled the
beauty of many plants, both by greatly
cutting down the length of the flower
ing period and also by preventing
the satisfactory development of color
Wiegelia, for instance, has rarely
shown such washed-out pink, and the
iris that started blooming in the heat
are not up to par by any means.
Iris, by the way, Is a wonderful plant
from the cultural viewpoint. 1t can be
moved at any time during the growing
season. although the few weeks follow
ing blooming are generally conceded
most favorable. One can actually throw
q piece of iris root on top of the sod
and it will root, displaying tenacity of
life that is equaled by few garden
plants. However, one would not recon-
mend such careless method of plant
ing. It pays to work up the soil where
the iris Is to be set, using bone meal or
other fertilizer In moderate quantity
Old clumps should be torn apart and
reset every three or four years. One
will find that the roots of the old
clumps will almost fall apart.
subdued light of early morning or eve
ming This is especially true of the
light blue shades such as offered by the
old favorite Pallida Dalmatica. Some
how or other, Intense sunlight seems to
drown their delicate beauty.
Gladiolus bulbs may be planted at
intervals up ito the first of July, thus
providing succession of bloom.
Now that the early spiraeas and
deutzias have finished blooming, it is
time to cut out the old Towering shoots
in order to give next seasons Towering
wod proper chance to develop. The
wood that has borne flowers this Spring
will not bloom again and has no further
plants owner. The deutzias, lemoinei
and gracilis tend to become very dense
without the annual thinning out and
In time will fail to blossom satisfac-
torily. For a week or two after this
cleanup pruning, some of the shrub
berry will look a bit scraggly, but the
new shoots quickly develop and restore
the symmetry of the plants. Annual
pruning of this type Is much better than
neglect followed by drastic cutting
from which the plants may not ever
fully recover.
Just how late in the Spring it pays to
cut asparagus is a question that can
not be positively answered, since much
depends on other factors such as fer
tility of the soil and general care that
the gardener gives the beds. 1t Is well
to remember that the asparagus plant
has to store up all the food for the
Spring crop of stalks or spears the pre-
ceding year. This means that the
plant needs plenty of foliage during the
Summer season Lack of foliage can
not be made up by any amount of fer
tilizer.

use for making preserves. The plant
quite evidently has some use as an
ornamental but is so far surpassed In
Spring showineSs by the European
species Viburnum opulus. variety sterile,
and the Japanese Vib,unum tomento-
sum. variety plenum. that it may be q
long time In attaining popularity.
The old-fashioned SNOWFALL that our
ancestors brought over from Europe at
early times and which is still to be
found abundant in the older commun-
tiles loses desirability on account of
susceptibility of the foliage to aphids
or plant lice. So numerous DC the
insects become as to distort the shape
of the leaves and give the plant an
unSightly appearance. Spraying with
tobacco extracts would control the
aphids, but the average gardener gets
about all the spraying he wants in the
fruit and vegetable garden and prefers
more self-reliant shrubs.
The Japanese SNOWFALL, now in full
bloom, answers all needs. The plant is
symmetrical, the leaves are thick and
rugose and are not bothered by insects.
The flowers are so numerous as to COM
pletely convert the plant into a white
mass, and make q beautiful show
Neither the European nor Japanese
snowballs here mentioned set any seed.
The flowers are in fact completely
sterile and lack altogether in fragrance,
but make up for all these defects by
making a wonderful display every year.
For an individual specimen plant it Is
difficult to consider a more satisfactory
species than the Japanese SNOWFALL.
Crowded into mass paintings, 1t does

New Kind of Salts

It doesn't take long for Americans

introduced into this country and the
welcome news of their superior good
ness and swift rejuvenating power
travelled so fast that at one time the
supply was many carloads behind the

Americans know good salts when they

Kruschen Salts are taken for their
health building value all over the
world-they are the largest selling
medicinal salts in Great Britain to-
day.

other salts-Kruschen Is six salts In

USE OF FERTILIZER

Probably vastly more plants are in
jured by lack of fertilizer than by too
much fertilizer, yet there is q great
deal of hazard in the use of the present
day concentrated materials. II one
stops long enough to figure out the pro-
portions, he will find that at the rate
Of 900 pounds per acre, which Is fair
~ heavy application, only one pound OF
fertilizer Is applied to about every A
square feet, and this worked into the
soil to dept. If several inches. Hence
when q home gardener applies large
handful of fertilizer about the base OF
a shrub he is applying much more than
the normal requirements OF the plant.
By splitting the application into smaller
divisions and putting the material on
at successive times the larger amounts
can be safely used. The gardener Is
apt to think of fertilizer in equivalents
of well rotted manure and not IN terms
Of its actual content OF strong elements.
In applying fertilizer to the lawn the
danger of burning the grass can be
greatly lessened by applying during
rains or by watering thoroughly with
the hose Just after the fertilizer is ap-
piled. When using highly concentrated
materials such as nitrate OF soda,
sulphate of ammonia, and the even
more powerful new nitrogen materials
great care must be used. especially with
newly set plants whose root systems
have not fully developed. A little OF
this kind of material goes long way
One pound of nitrate to 200 square feet
Is a reasonable initial application for
the garden, followed by light side
dressings along the rows later on. To
adequately handle such small amounts
they should be first finely crushed and
mixed with considerable sand or dry
soil and then broadcast as evenly as
possible.

shredded, such as sheep manure, may
also do injury If used too heavily at

CHINESE SEIZE RED

by tne Associated Press.
Annoy, China, May 17.-Chinese and
foreign authorities agreed here today
that raid on the Communist head
quarters in Annoy last night had placed
native officials in position to act against
the Reds of China, but the strength
of the radicals and the confusion of
civil war and banditry involving the
Nationalist regime may prevent an I'M
compromising campaign in that direc-
ton.
Local government forces are not
strong enough to undertake a province
wide campaign against the Communists
because of the strength of the latter.
Red agents are working secretly in
every community.
1t also was felt here that the Ma
tionalist government would be unable
to take up the matter because of the
political confusion and its military cam
paign against the hostile Northern al
lance.
Authorities today began an examina-
ton of documents seized In the raid.
Seized material, authorities said, thus
far has revealed further evidence of
Russian participation in the Commun-
ist activities in China.
Chinese officials said they expected to
find the names of Russian directors of
the Chinese Communists In the mass of
evidence seized. Pictures of Joseph
Stain, head of the Russian regime, and
of Kalinin and Bucharin, also members
of the Communist International, and

BERLIN, May 1.-THE step toward
temperance taken by the German
Reichstag placing few mild restric-
tions on the sale of hard liquor will
go into effect July /.
The new saloons act rings the cur
few for the sale of liquor at l am.
and forbids the sale of tntoxicants on
pay days and election days, but en-
forcement thereof Is left to the discre-
ton of the local authorities. One def

from Juvenile sports meets and similar
gatherings.
Debate prior to the adoption of the
bill was furious. Rabert Hampe, Ma
tionalist Deputy, vehemently denied
that alcoholism was German national
vice. He said less beer was drunk now

THE GARDEN CLUBS

The Woodbridge Garden Club will
hold its annual Spring flower show on
Monday and Tuesday, May 26 and AZ,
in the auditorium of the Sherwood
PRESBYTERIAN Church. Twenty-second
street and Rhode Island avenue north
east. This date should, according to
President L. M. Clarke, coincide quite
closely with the height of the. rose and
peony season and has been set with this
fact in mind.
The Takoma Horticultural Club held
its annual iris show Wednesday and
Thursday at the Takoma Park Branch
of the Public Library. The hot weather
has rushed along the various Spring
flowers so that shows occur in rather
rapid succession as compared with nor
NAL seasons when cool weather holds
blooms in check.
A census of garden accessories and
plant material is being conducted by
the American University Park Citizens
Association with view to determining
the present status of gardening in the
community and establishing basis for
future comparisons. 1t is a rather
novel idea and is carried out by sub
uniting a form sheet to each home own
er. Most owners have general idea OF
their gardening enterprise. but relatively
few could make complete enumera-
ton without an actual check.
The Montgomery Suburban Garden
Club plans to hold its Spring flower,
fruit and vegetable show June and z
at the Somerset School. Competitive ex-
hibits will be staged by the five COM
munities Of Friendship Heights, Somer-
set, Drummond Chevy Chase Gardens
and Chevy Chase Terrace, comprising
the garden club territory, and also by
various women's clubs and school class
es. The outstanding feature of the show
will be the competition for the silver
and bronze medals of the American
Peony Society, which has designated the
Montgomery Suburban Garden Club as
its representative in this region this
year.
