Students Tour Helps

Prom the New York Herald Tribune
The interchange of visits between ma
tons IS anything but the short cut 70
brotherly love that optimistic paeihSts
tondly hoped It would be. The short
term tourists are likely TO come away
annoyed and critical and leaving be-
hind them trail of contempt or plain
wrath. Even the A. E. r. was never
quite sure what nation il would most
enjoy fighting IN the next last war. Sur
face frrftsttoTES are so considerable when
national boundary IS crossed that only
real intimacy Or q very wise under
standing can overcome them.
All the more credit, therefore. goes
to the boys of the RfverCale Country
School who have just returned from
highly successful bicycle tour OF Eng
land and the English schools They
took base ball bats and Negro splriiuals
with them and they seem to have won
friendship wherever they appeared.
They visited such famous schools as
Winchester and the Royal Hish school
OF Edinburgh. taught base hall and
studied cricket, and between whIles
sang. There have been q number of
purely athletic invasions Of England
and Europe by American SchooIhoys.
This Is the first time that q glee club
has been part Of the program. and the
tour has appropriated an intimate
another.
The clue IS worth following up If

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEwELL.

When Autumn comes, 1t Is tulip plant
It is tulip planting time when the
weather becomes cold in America.
Then these Dutch bulbs, grown In {
colder, moister land, should be put fnts
our ground.
Impatient planters should wait unit
it really gets cold, before putting tht
brown gnomes about inches down.
ruins already have formed theil
flowers, lying curled UP in the curiou:
rounds of BROWNIES, which we cal
bulbs.
There Is some chance, although adj
mittedly small, that If planted too earl!
thew might begin to sprout upward.
At that, we have never heard of tulip:
blooming in the late Fall.
There might be some chance OF this
however, If they are put into the ground
too early, so the best thing 70 DO
to wait until October.
Tulip bulbs can be planted any time
up until freezing weather.

bulbs possible.
than a large number OF poor ones.
Most of the bulbs are good however,
81 there is no need to worry about this
side of the matter.
The selection of the ones to suit the
individual taste will be much more wor-
risome for most people.
There Is such a multitude of shades
available that at first blush 1t might
seem to be the easiest thing In the
world to select what one wants.
brings with it the inevitable doubt
which one ordinarily faces when the
choice is too large.
X * X \
Few home gardeners there are but
who have felt, at some time or other
that it would be vastly easier to select
from seed and bulb catalogues. II the
range of selection were not quite sc
great.
The gladiolus, year by year gaining ir
popularity, is now available in so many
tints, hues and blends that all but the
most positive souls are harassed by the
task of choosing.
THE positive temperament, of course,
says easily, ooh, like reds" or "Oh,
I prefer pinks," or, maybe, Il like
lavender tints."
But he who is not so determined in
this matter and believes that all flowers
are beautiful, will select with wider
range in mind, and still will regret the
scores of beauties which he had tc
resist purchasing.
y x
Not only are there several different
sorts of tulips, blooming at different
times and of very different heights
but most of these come in perplexing
array of colors.
Nest people, undoubtedly, are held
down in their selection by the old
time standard tulip colors. When they
think of tulip they think of one OF
the flaming reds, or that red one with
yellow edges.
These are great flowers. and no mis-
take, but the remainder of the va
rieties, especially among the Darwins
are SO beautiful that one should widen
his choice to include at least few OF
them
Early single tulips have their place
but If one is lacking in planting
ground, and wants the most beautiful
flowers, he had better stick to the
Darwins.
1t Is safe to say that no sort Of tulip
can surpass a well grown Darwin. Its

shaped flower, in almost every con-

Harsh Words at the Kings sickbed

King Cotton Is in low state of
health. In fact, he Is very sick. His
subjects are in keen distress. His ply
sicians are in violent disagreement
over his treatment Some want him
to take a complete rest for a year and
some want him to declare a one-third
moratorium. And the worst Of the
matter is that neither remedy Is likely
to be effective. For the fact Is that
American cotton is losing ground in
the world market, not merely because
of the general depression, but because
of foreign competition, rivalry in guam
tity production and rivalry in quality.
The American staple has been shrink
ing steadily for some years and Indian
staple, for example, has been improv-
ing. Now for the first time In long
period American cotton sales are less
than half of the worlds consumption
and the percentage is diminishing.
The intensity of the feeling between
the doctors who are trying to restore
the white boiled monarch to health
finds expression now in formal resClu-
ton adopted by the Texas Senate in
which the Governor Of Louisiana, adj
yocate Of a whole-year abstention from
cotton planting by all the Southern
states, is called a 'consummate liar"
This Is extraordinary language to be
used by the Legislature Of one COM
rnonwealth toward the executive of an
adjoining State. But the Governor Of
Louisiana really started the affair by
a public statement TO the effect that
the members Of the Texas Legislature
had been bought like a sack of corn"
to vote against the cotton prohibition
plan, and that they had been paid
of like a slot machine"
Apart from these asrerities, it appears
quite plain that there viii be no gen.
eraI planting prohibition legisla-
ton this year. Some Of the States, per-
haps most Of them. may adopt a uni
form, sneasure reducing the permissible

A. Sapor, King of Persia, probably
holds the record. He was crowned about
two months before he was born. His

Time. and an uncle, finding the throne
vacant, organized usurpation. The
Queen, anxious for the succession of
her son, proclaimed coronation cere-
mony and had her unborn child
crowned in her own person. Such was
the veneration of the people for the
dynasty that the ceremony was eff
fective IN forestalling the uncle's usur-
patton. The child proved to be a boy
and ruled as King Sapor.

Oakland, Calif.-T. v.
A. The site of Oakland was part of
the holdings Of Don Luis Maria Peralta,
who received vast grants from the
Spanish crown. In 1882 he divided his
lands among his four sons, and the two
to whom this region fell established
themselves on their estates. From one
of them in 1850 Moses Chase leased q
tract, and he became the founder of
the future city. In 1852 the settlement
was incorporated as town and in
1854 1t was chartered as a city. The
name was suggested by the grove OF
oaks in which the FIRST houses were
built.

Unrest in Britain's Navy.

Every Englishman who recalls that
two revolutions in our immediate time
jim Russia, at Cronstadt, in 1917. and
in Germany, at Kiel, in 19lS-oegan
with nnutinies in the fleets Is JUSTIFIED
in succumbing to anxiety over unrest
in the British navy. For generations,
barring sporadic incidents without any
broad significance. revolt has been a
thing unknown by the Mistress CT the
Seas. Britannia mas ruled the waves
Obvious to even the possibility Of dis
LOYALTY on the part of her officers ~
bluejackets." "Our sure shield" the
country's affectionate term for the Meet,
has been held to be such largely be-
cause of confidence in the unhagging
devotion of the sturdy lads who man 1t.
1t Is thus easy to comprehend the
CONSERVATION which spread from
Lands End to John O. Groat when news
was forthcoming this week that the
Impending maneuvers of the Atlantic
feet had to be cancelled because OF
objections among the lower ratings to
the governments cut In the pay OF pub
lie servants. The sailors oppose the
slashes, mainly because reductions do
not similarly affect all ranks. Officers
are not to suffer the proportionate de-
crease in pay that ordinary seamen are
asked TO accept. Other inequalities are
resented. The net result has been the
refusal of bluejackets to perform the
services aboard ship necessary to carry
out projected battle practice on the
high seas. The admiralty. alive to
the perilous possibilities of such sit
uation. abandoned the maneuvers and
ordered all ships to return to their home
bases. Since then come reports OF
trouble in the Mediterranean feet.
Yesterday in the House Of Commons,
amid jeers from the Laborites. Sir
Austen Chamberlain, first lord of the
admiralty, announced that an inyesti-
CATION is under way to determine how
hardships in the feet may be averted
under the governments new economy
policy. Whatever official language is
invoked to hide what has actually
taken place, there is no mistaking that
the bluejackets' unprecedented demon
stration-carried out "amid the best
of good humor," as the dispatches
allege-has resulted IN prompt surren-
der by the government. The British
Navy is frequently called the nations
"all in all" No responsible government
can afford to temporize with condi-
items menacing the reliability of such
an institution. Mr.. Macdonald and his
sorely-tried colleagues are already being
asked to explain why sailors. any more
than soldiers or policemen, should be
the objects of special solicitude. Con-
ssions to unrest" In the feet can
silly become the first arc of a vicious
Circle, with resultant chaos in the whole
economy program.
One avenue of plausible compromise
with the bluejackets, which would not
be applicable to other services. lies along
the line Of curtailment of naval building
operations. If the exchequer can save
a couple of million pounds on construc-
ton. by delaying or canceling it. Mr..
Snowden might find it possible to
approve the retention of the old wage
scale in the feet and restore the morale

very real sense, the empires destiny is

President Ernest M. Hopkins Of Dart
mouth College, q leader of the pro-
gressive wing Of the Republican party
in New Hampshire, has come out
squarely for the denomination and re-
election Of Senator George H. Moses.
recognized as the leader of the con-
sentative forces in the State President
Hopkins in the past has supported the
candidates opposing Senator Moses For
example, in 1926 he worked for the
nomination of Robert p. Bass against
Moses. He has been a friend and
counselor of Gov. John G. Winant, q
progressive, who defeated the Moses
candidate for Governor last year and
who has been a prospective candidate
for the senatorial nomination next year
against Senator Moses. The declaration
of President Hopkins for the renomi-
nation of Senator Moses, therefore, Is
held to be Of great political signifi-
canoe.
The Dartmouth College president in
his letter to Senator Moses indorsing
him for denomination, pointed out that
they had differed frequently over pub
lie questions in the past, but princi-
pally over international issues. He ex-
pressed his belief that SenatCe Moses
was sound on domestic issues aid would
support the Hoover administration.
And he added that Senator Masses, be-
cause of his long service in the Senate
and prominent position in that body,
would be of greater value to New Ftarup-
shire and the country in the Senate
than would q new man. Senator Moses
voicing his gratitude to President Hop
kins for his support, said among otfier
things:
