patience and an enthusiasm for their
work, says j.. T. Bregger, extension
horticulturist, Washington State Col
lege.
The focal object Of the landscape
picture is the house and the central
feature Of the home grounds Is the
lawn which should be maintained as
as dense turf of a suitable grass mix
ture. The lawn should always be kept
open directly in front Of the house
and should not be broken by plants
or beds. Group paintings should be
used to soften the boundaries.
The trees, plants, and occasional
flowers which are used in the develop
ment Of the home grounds all have
their definite purposes, the first OF
which is to hide the 'unsightly founda-
ton. In hiding the foundation, the
house is tied to it's location and the
straight lines and right angles of the
house are softened The paintings
should be highest at the corners and
shrubs should be placed in front of
tall shrubs, and low shrubs or flowers
in front of medium shrubs.
Border paintings should be informal
in-effect with curved boundary lines
to soften the straight line of the yard,
fences, drives, lawn, etc.
Undesirable views from the highway
or unsightly buildings may be hidden
by screen paintings.
Final touches are added by having
trees to form an appropriate back
ground, framing pretty views of the
house from the highway or other
points, and placing specimen tree
for the sake of it's own beauty or
rarity
Lists of trees, shrubs, and flowers
adapted to this locality and further
details on landscape gardening may
be secured by getting in touch with
your county agent or writing to the
Extension Service, Pullman, Washing
ton.

This Often Happens
In Everyday Life

A little mud turtle sat alone in the
sun
And blinked in a slow stupid way
And little fly came lettering by
And he stopped on a near rock to
say:
you're the ugliest creature that I
ever saw;
You are clumsy and awkward and
slow
And just how you manage a living
Is thing that I'd most like to
know"
But the little mud turtle said never
word
AS he sat on the stone in the sun.
But he thought as he winked and
warily blinked
That wise fly would let him alone.
But the fly had grown proud of his
power to tease
And he buzzed at the mud turtles
head
Til the turtle gave one short little
gasp
And the troublesome insect was
dead.
Now it's really too had that the fly
didn't know
That the turtle was wiser than he
For because one can buzz and tease
and annoy
Tis no sign he is clever or wise
And he might do more good than
serve as the food
For one whom he'd fain to dispise.

Potato Shipments Must Be
Screened After June

Beginning the first of June, potato
shipments to Western Washington
must be accompanied by a quarantine
certificate, stating that the potatoes
in the shipment were passed over a
screen at the car door Immediately
prior to loading
In the case of new potatoes, car
door screening will be required unless
a field inspection establishes the fact
that the Colorado Potato Beetle is not
present in the field.
All potato shipments to California
and Oregon must be screened at the
car door, as neither of these states
recognize field inspection certificate.

fee Cream Originated
In the United States

Ice Cream Originated
In the United States
Like turkeys, tobacco and many
other luxuries, ice cream originated in
America, but it's popularity has trav-
eled around the world, claims the
Public Health League of Washington.
1t made it's debut at the White
was president and Andrew Jackson
swore "by the eternal" that it was
excellent.
No longer is ice cream considered a
hot-Weather desSert--it is now used
the year around, and is prepared in
many delectable ways, for the lunch
con, dinner or evening repast, besides
being served to motorist and pedest-
rian from innumerable wayside stands
And where is there person who
does not like it? Babies cry for it,
small boys beg for it, and it's appeal
does not diminish with senility.
Ice cream is an important element
in the diet of athletes in training. At
The Olympic games at Amsterdam
4 fully-equipped ice cream plant was
installed and great quantities of this
food were provided. 1t is said to have
been the only sweet served at the
training tables, where perfect physical
condition is of paramount Importance
Nutritious, convenient in form, at
tractive, ice cream is one of the very
best of foods for health, when manu-
featured of pure, fresh ingredients
under proper sanitary conditions. Rich
in food value, it contains also those
health giving vitamins about which
we have heard SO much. 1t is hunger
satisfying, vitalizing and easily digest
ed. Important, too, is the fact that
it is no longer in the luxury class
but can be purchased by anyone.
For vitamins, for calories, for gen.
eral health, include ice cream in your
diet.

Russian Novelist Passes
JUDGMENT on Washington
Links This City With European Culture.

Russian novelist after spending five months in this
country returns to his home with peculiar ideas Of America
For example: New York and Chicago American cities
but not Washington This city is definitely linked with Euro
pean culture Historic old Boston placed in seventeenth
century atmosphere That the most hurtfu part of the
whole thing Boston and envons presumably plasered with
culture than any other bit of American SOIL is set back
300 years.
Soviet mind with literary abilities is still colored with
Communist doctrines It's not return to his native
country unless his ideas America in harmony with
fiveyear and other Russian plans
This citys link with European culture is in its diplomatic
and social connections quite interesting and desirable to have
There plenty of native culture here too but is Loyalty
American In truth Washington citizenship largely made
up Of intelligent refined Americans coming from every State
In the union.
So truly American is this National City that it is widely
recognized the political heart of the nation is typical
Of the moral and spiritual soul of the nation in the fullest
possible way.
In these days of discomfort and throughout the
world it is most satisfactory that the ideals of nation should
be most strongly upheld in the Capital Of that nation This
cys population is not only largely native American but it
is patriotically American.

Federal Parking Plans for

likewise engaged with plans for the parking Of Of Federal
employees.
The building operations of the Federal Government in this

consideration Of the parking troubles that inevitable when
the new buildings all occupied.
This newspaper has many times urged Federal consdera
ton Of this matter because District authorities helpless
to do anything simply accedng to whatever plans for closing
streets taking other steps the Federal authorities insisted
upon.
Parking supposed to be local problem but the truly
serious problem arising in that part of Washington that is
house many thousands Of Federal workers should have
been worked out long ago between Federal and local auhor
ties The latter did not dars interfere they have any
time presented their views to Federal authorities the act
has not been made known.

late than not at ALL Experts reported at work the

Congress to Consider Laws
To End Criminal Terrorism

Nothing certain than that the aggressive appeal
Of William R. Hearst for suppress racketeerng and
gangser crimes in this country has produced whrwind pub
lie sentiment that will the forthcoming Congress to most
serious consideration of this from the viewpoint Of the
Federal Governments powers to aid.
Deportation Of alien criminals discussed at the last session
Of Congress and statesmen inclined action that would be
helpful in ddng the nation of foreigners who have here
and promptly entered the field Of crime.
Deportation will this time have strong support in both
Houses but other will also be proposed and discussed
Whether the country is to be controlled by criminals is
longer regarded moot proposition Mr. Hearst has put the
pressed with the necessity for additional laws suppress crime
and for vigorous enforcement of existing laws.
Congress will like to admit that the nation mpotent to
the bloody trail of crime that the Federal Government
powerles except income and prohibition violations
It big that Congress face and that body under
terrific public pressure stirred by Hearst newspapers must do
something worth while.
The Washington times., 1931-08-06

Silly as are the things which
women believe about men, they
aren't a patch on the things
which men believe about wom-
en-. In spite of all their playing
and palavering together, males
and females still regard each
other with tongue-in-cheek and
ace-up-sleeve.
No man understands women,
and frankly says so. Whereat
women are greatly flattered.
They needn't be. It's no compli.
ment. The real reason why men
do not understand women is not
because women are boojum. E.
but because men do not think
they are worth understanding.
No Great Difference
Any man could understand
any woman if he judged her by
the tests and standards which
he would apply to any man of
like caliber. For, fundamentals
ly, there isn't a particle of diff
ference between male intelli-
gence and female intelligence.
There has been a tremendous
difference between male and fe.
male training and environment
but, given an even break, the
average woman can qualify with
the average man. But it is alb
horrent to male egotism to ad.
nit this. He will not acknowl-
edge that the lady shares his
brand of humanity. He insists
that she's different. And he
has devised a most clever sales
talk to put the idea over.
Women are smart" say men,
"but they aren't smart the way
men are smart. They don't
really think things out-for the
truth is they haven't regular
brains to think with. But they
have a queer, mysterious func-
ton in its place-they have in
tuition.
Some Fast Stuff
Intuition doesn't really
amount to much-but now and
then it pulls some awful fast
stuff" continues the compla-
cent male, "and that's where a
fellow gets fooled. He thinks
a woman MUST be using her
brains to pull stuff like that.
But how can a woman use her
brains when she hasn't any to

During year. when business in general has been
dull several lines of industry stand out having made
cided gains One of these is life insurance
During 1880 the people of the United States bought about
$185O0 100000 worth of life insurance
more than average of the five preceding

That life insurance has increased while many other
