WILD ROSE WINS REFERENDUM
ON CHOICE OF NATIONAL FLOWER
Boasts of Plurality of 150.-
600 Over the CoIumbine.
Which Is Second.
Nature Association to Ask
Congress for Legislation
Sanctioning Vote.

The American people through a Ma
tion-wide poll conducted by the Amer
lean Nature Association have indicated
their choice of the wild rose as the
national flower.
The association plans to ask Con-
yress to enact legislation giving this
selection an oficial status.
This was announced yesterday by the
Washington branch of the organization
with the completion of recheck of the
vote, which shows the wild rose rolled
up 492,811 votes out of the l,067,676
votes cast for plurality of more than
$50 900 over the columbine, the near
est contender.
Four States Against Rose.
The wild rose won in every State
kept Colorado, Florida, Minnesota
and Washington. although it had no
group actively supporting it and was
opposed by number of organizations
advocating the selection of other
flowers.
Pennsylvania, with 111,258 votes;
Ohio, with 7s.64S; New York. with
So 1888, and Wisconsin, with 59,77e. led
the country in the number of ballots
east Washington supported the colum-
bine more vigorously than any other
State. Only seven votes separated the
rose from its rival in South Dakota

How decisive was the choice of the
people" said Arthur Newton Pack,
editor of Nature Magazine, lis indicated
by the standing of the seven other lead

two leaders, and there is no question
OF these being the national favorites.

total. The wishes of the people will be
translated into legislative form, Con-
gress willing, as soon as possible.
THE national flower campaign was
begun late in 1928, first to engender an
interest and love for wild flowers Sec
ond, to promote their conservation and,
third, to direct attention to nature gen.
orally. The association had no candi-
date. 1t likewise felt that though ma
tional flower should be chosen its choice
was secondary to the other interests
involved.
THE referendum has been eminently
successful. A large proportion of school

suggested by the association, in such a
manner that there is no question of the
benefit they derived. A tvpical CAM
paign was conducted by the Franklin
Junior High School Of Green Bay. wis.
where all the State flowers and candi-
dates were illustrated on the school bull
letin board and discussion preceded the
actual voting by month.
1.-The wild rose, despite criticism to
this effect, is not the flower of England;
that emblem Is the cultivated rose, The
campaign did not designate one par
ticular variety of wild rose. but left it
possible for each community to feel that
its local representative was the choice
Of the country"
Among the organizations which took
part in fostering the poll were the Gar
den Club of America, the Daughters of
the American Revolution, the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, the State
and national organizations of Camp Fire
Girls and Girl Scouts and the Column
bine Society.

VOICE CRITICISM
OF COMMISSIONERS
Michigan Park Citizens Up
braid Officials for Approving
$295, 900 Expenditure Bill.

Sharp criticism Of the District Com
naisSioners was voiced last night at a
meeting of the Michigan Park Citizens
Association, at which resolutions we're
adopted condemning the proposal to
build a viaduct on Monroe street, widen
the thoroughfare from Sixth to Twelfth
streets northeast and close Michigan
avenue.
The Commissioners were upbraided
for approving a bill, now before Con-
gress. that would authorize an expendi-
ture og S295, 900 to carry out the prof.
ect. Plans were made to have delega-
ton appear before the District commit
tee Of the House to fight the measure.
Arrangements also were made to CIR
culste a petition in an effort to kill the
bill
Decision was reached to attempt to
enlist the aid of the Board OF Trade,
the Chamber of Commerce, the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations and the
Real Estate Board. These organizations
will be told the proposal would be
detriment to the community instead Of
an improvement.
E. j. Brennan. who led the move
ment against the bill, declared the
project. If carried to completion. would
add a serious fire hazard, because there
would be only one main artery leading
to the community instead of two.
The organization also went on record
as favoring the establishment of a fire
engine station at Twelfth street and
Rhode Island avenue northeast. Speak
ers pointed out Is minutes now Is re-
quired for the closest fire apparatus to
reach the community. 1t also was ex-
planned that there had been three seri-
Gus fires in Michigan Park recently.
A committee was instructed to seek
better poctal service for the section.
Approval was given to a movement to
permit the charging of nominal fees
for amateur boxing matches.
The association voted to attempt to
obtain additional policemen to guard
school children at street crossings.
Ofhcers for the ensuing year were

MARSH SUGGESTS QUESTIONING FORD
Large Concerns "RemOrSeleSS"
 on Cotton Prices, He Says

Washington. Jan. Ii (P-Arthur Marsh, former president of the New York cotton exchange, suggested today before a senate sub-commit- tee Investigating cotton exchanges, that Henry Ford and Julius Rosen- Wald. of Sears, Roebuck X Co.,, be called to tell how the condition of the cotton farmer of the south could be improved.
 The proposal was q preliminary 10 an attack on methods used by the congress Of which Ford and RosenWald arc heads. Marsh said that Ford was an outstanding cX- ponent of high wages for labor, but that his buyers were 'remorseless' in using every possible eNpedienCy" to drive down the price of cotton fabrics used by Forl's plants in large quantities.
 The witness also told the sub committee that buyers of Sears, Rochuck X Co.,, Montgomery Ward G, Co.,. and Woolworth'S, who use one-tifth of the cotton goods manu- factured, were the most remorse- less drivers down't of cotton prices.
 He added that in an effort to meet competition of tho chain stores, independent dry goods stores had organized buying syndicates with great purchasing power.
 "All arc combined' he said, "to throw the risk of price back on that poor devil Ghc cotton farmer) who cannot help himself.'

 Here We come to the challenging realities which lie in the back ground
 of this phase of the struggle for world power. Greater Britain, de pendent on ships, demands national security. This was defined in cate gorfcal terms at the ill-fated Geneva naval barley of 1927.
 We have stated before, and we state again, that as We have on,y a few weeks food supply in Brit ain at any given moment, We de- pend for our very existence on free passage on the seas" declared Brit aims spokesman, the Right Honor able W. O. Brdgeman, as first lord of the admiralty We said before and We. repeat it, that as the trans- port of our food and raw materials and of our inter imperial trade also depend on sate passage over tn" oceans which separate the differel {
