GARDEN NOTES.

This has been a hard year on un-
sprayed fruit because Of the prevalence
OF plant diseases favored by the gen.
orally abundant rains. Grapes. for ex-
ample, are almost a failure where left
to their own resources. Grape berry
moth and black rot have destroyed
much of the fruit and mildew has
taken the foliage. There Is no question
but that every home fruit grower
should have some kind OF simple but
effective spray outfit. The only other
alternative seems to be retirement
from fruit-growing. Sprayed fruit y Of
excellent quality this year. In fact,
the fruit crop was never any better.

NEW YORK. October 2 P).-The
closing days Of September saw strange
event take place in the press and pub
lie mind. The common figure Of a
man whistling became an absorbing
topic and, in one notable instance. was
twice turned into front-page stuff.
The new decline In the stock market,
the unSteadiness OF the pound sterling,
European unrest, various nnsolved muir
ders and even the world series could
not compete with the news that men
of low mentality advertise this by
whiStling
The reaction Of the man who so in
nocently started this psychological
eruption was that Of unbounded surprise.

The papers printed the stuff the
editors thought the public wished to
read. Then the trouble began. The
editors were besieged by letters Of pro-

trivial idea. He, in particular, was
burdened by mail and bothered by
phone call by people who protested.
Only mere minimum took his nat

vealed resentment. 5.
IA professional whistler of high re-

"A prominent lawyer. filed the objec-
ton that he and his bar associates were
ever in the habit Of whistling in the
bathtub.
A musician who said he had whistled
fer from to hours daily for 20 years
insisted that he was not a moron"
but genius"
A lady of 81 years said she had spent
go years whistling, but would stop until
she had been assured, per self-addressed
envelope, that she was not feeble
minded.

criticism CT the whistler with the XVIII

The newsreel organizations insisted
that the story be told geographically

author to make good his boast that, II

OF course, the jaded columnists took
up the matter, but they would do that.

doubt that India was heading toward
revolution and the man who stood in
the way was the Mahatma.
Interrupted by Reds.
Gandhi was interrupted by two Com
munistS as he was replying to the pres
sntation speech, but when the hecklers
were quoted he announced the money
would be used for the activities of the
All-India Congress and to provide work
for Indians faced with starvation.
Three hundred admirers of the Ma
hatma, most of them English. had
luncheon with him today in honor of
his SD birthday, but for each guest
there was only one pear, one banana,
one apple and one orange.
There was Ice water. except for the
Mahatma himself. who drank goats
milk, but the toast to the King. q

The Independent Labor party and
two Indian societies in London were
hosts. Gandhi sat between Fenner
Brockway and the long-haired, stern
faced James Maxton.
Given Spinning Wheel.
AS a birthday gift Gandhi received
a tall spinning wheel on which a ball
of Indian cotton had been wound.
He was not the only guest in
strange costume.
One young Englishman with wavy
blond hair had cycled to the gardens
OF Westminster Palace for the function
wearing only shirt and khaki shorts
Some Englishwomen wore. homespun
dresses. and there were a few beautiful
Hindu girls whose jewels and lowered
shawls were a sparkle OF color.
The table in front of Gandhi was
sprinkled with small white chrysan
themums and red dahlias, one Of which
Miss Madeline Slade, his English dis
ciple, pinned to her homespun shawl.
In a brief expression of his apprecia-
ton for the luncheon the Mahatma re-
affirmed midas stand for independence
and asserted that, although Indians
have no wish to gain independence at
the cost Of single life, nevertheless
they are willing that the holy Gauges
should run with blood II that Is neceS-
sary to win the freedom so long de-
layed."
