Ex-wAR LORD FOR PEACE.

At this writing it is not known what
will be the ultimate effect of the re-
cent German election. Under the pres
sure of the PREPARATION settlement and
worldwide business depression the
majority appears to have turned
against the government. None of the
numerous parties has a majority in
the Reichstag but the extreme right
and left made unexpected gains
The most powerful group or party in
the new Reichstag will be the Fascist's.
Its leader, Hitler, of beer-garden revo-
luton fame, is talking OF repudiating
the Versailles Treaty and the Young

plan for settlement of the repartions
In this crisis. which has war pos
sibilities, Europe and the world is
looking to General Hindenburg, the
Ex-War Lord, to control the situation
1t depends upon his, wise and sane
council to the German people to con-
troll the hot-heads.
AS president of the German Re-
public, General Hindcnburg does not
have the power of an American execu-
tive, 1t will only be through his per-
sonal popularity and magnetic leader
ship that he will be able to handle
this serious situation.
1t is indeed a strange state of affairs
for the peace of Europe to depend up
on the leadership of an Ex-War Lord.

ARE YOU CONCERTED?
BEWARE OF ACCIDENT

If you are conceited individual be-
ware while driving your car.
Conceit, according to reports to the
Automobile Club Of Washington, from
a noted psychiatrist, is of prime i'm
portance in causing automobile acct
dents.
The psychiatrist investigated all
prisoners in the Joliet penitentiary who
had been convicted of manslaughter
with an automobile, and found that in
nearly every case there we're marked
traits of selfishness and conceit.

DISEASED GLADIoLA BULBS.

Two bacterial diseases commonly
known as hard rot and scab, are more
or less prevalent among gladiola bulbs.
These diseases appear as sunken, dis
colored spots on the surface of the
corms. Bulbs so affected should not
be offered for sale or distribution. In
lots in which portion of the bulbs
are SO affected, the badly affected
bulbs should be culled out and de-
stroyed and the remainder disinfected
as follows:
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1931-04-02

We especially recommend the mer-
curic chloride treatment.
Bulbs should then be either planted
Immediately or dried for market pur-
poses. We also recommend treating
the bulbs in the fall at digging time.
