package will cleanse the bushes of
aphids Ants are a powerful factor
in aphid troubles since they actually
place the aphids on the tender shoots.
1t Is, however, easier to destroy the
aphids than it is the ants, although
the latter may be killed by pouring a
few teaspoonfuls of carbon disulphid
liquid into holes punched into their
nests.
Disbudding Is an important consider
alton in producing prize winning roses.
The first bud. usually terminal bud,
should be saved and the little side buds
pinched out while very young This
means fewer flowers but better ones
and is really the secret of large individ-
ual rose blooms. Greenhouse roses are
disbudded uniformly Naturally. one
would not disbud polyanthus, climbing
and other roses which are always dis
played in clusters.
To many people, the rose is the pre-
mier garden flower. From May to
November it supplies us with beautiful
blooms Tor cutting or admiring in stu.
Nevertheless, to get the most out of
the roses, they must be nourished and
cared for. Even the hardy types, such
as Silver Moon and Dr. W. Van Fleet,
need pruning and care to keep them
at top notch quality.

D. c.. Naval Reserve

Secretary of the Navy Adams, ac-
companied by high ranking officers OF
the Navy Department and of the WASH
ington Navy Yard, appeared, unan-
nounced. at the Naval Reserve Armory
during the regular drill period last
Monday night, to observe first-hand
the work the reserve is doing in train
ing for service with the fleet in time
of war
1t was the first time in the history
of the organization that such an official
visit has been made by a head of the
Navy Department, and officials are not
informed as to the purpose, but it was
said that he found the organization
well prepared to go through the drills
and exercises requested by the nava,
officials. The local Reserve was put
through its annual inspection several
weeks ago, but there is always six weeks
notice of these events, but the recent
visit came without warning, and the
Reservists were observed Just as they
perform on every drill night.
Accompanying Secretary Adams were
his naval aide, Capt. H. r. Stark; Rear
Admiral F. B. Upham, chief Of the
Naval Bureau of Navigation, and his
aide; Rear Admiral H. 3. Butler. COM
mandant Of the Washington Navy Yard
and his aide, Lieut.. Comdr. L. B, Green,
I'd; and the following members of the
Regular Navy Inspection Board; Capt.
John Downes, Capt. Alexander Sharp
and Capt. r. A. White.
The divisions were put through vari-
Gus drills and exercises by their division
commanders, under the direction Of
Lieut.. Harold E. Richardson, command
Ing officer Of the battalion, and 1t was
said that they performed In very
efficient manner. OF course, they did
not have destroyer here so that they
could show the methods of drilling on
a ship, but the devices in the armory
were used to show the Secretary the
important work that is being done by
the reserve.
The Reserve Aviation Division, under
command of Lieut.. E. w. Rounds, was
put through its annual inspection dur
ing the week. Two inspections were
held. The personnel inspection was
held at 2 O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
The second inspection was OF material
and operations.

PEAT MOSS

One gardening material that has
rather taken gardeners by storm is peat
moss. Each year home gardeners are
finding many new uses for this material
and buying 1t in increasing quantities.
Although peat moss contains some fer
tilizing ingredients, they are quite inert
and one should not think of the moss

PANSIES

Pansies, violas and violets are all
humble flowers of the same family, but
what place they hold in popular favor.
There is no reason why every one should
not have pansies as they are not diff
cult to grow The seed may be sown
out of doors in late August or, better
yet, in cold frame without any added
heat and in Spring one may very well
have an abundance of plants. This
is much the plan followed by COM
merical growers and, judging by the
price Of plants, it would pay very we'll
to raise them at home. Pansy seed is
quite expensive, but is so small in size
that little packet has large possi-
bilities. The plants need very fertile
soil to reach perfection. Note the plant
ings in the parks; they are mulched
with rotted manure after having been
set in well fertilized soil in the begin
ming. Yet they seem to enjoy this
surfeit of nutrients and bloom most
profusely. Children seem to fancy
pansies more than they do larger
flowers, possibly because they are
allowed to gather the blooms freely.
In fact, no plant will furnish more cut
flowers on small area.

ifler or amendment BY its porous loose
structure, it is capable of loosening stift
clay soils and increasing their water
holding capacity. Applied to sandy soil,
it greatly increases water-holding
capacity.
Spread over the soil after cultivation,
peat moss removes the necessity OF
culture for the balance Of the season.
The soil below the moss remains soft
and moist much longer than normally
and an ideal situation in which roots
may grow is thus provided. Then In
Spring, when the beds again are spaded,
the peat moss is added to the soil itself
and tends to develop that dark colored

bonemeal or other fertilizer may very
well be applied. This is better than
applying the entire amount at once and
less hazardous.

work. Massey dust, one part of pow

Aphids seem to enjoy the soft rose
shoots and may injure many fine

are the best known remedy. These may
be purchased from garden supply and

THE ROSES

Shortly, the roses will be at their
height of Spring glory To maintain
the best growth the plants must be fed
and ground bone is just about as good
a fertilizer as can be supplied In lieu
OF well rotted COW manure, best of all
but relatively unavailable. A handful
OF 6onemeal scattered about each plant
and worked into the surface soil will
prove very beneficial. Greenhouse rose
growers keep feeding their plants with
liquid manure throughout the Towering
season. Some such plan may be fol-
lowed profitably with the out-of-door
ever blooming varieties-that is, every

of working out of the quandary upon the
shoulders of the Attorney General, who then
was simply the legal advisor to the President
and not the head of a Federal department.
No member of any Presidents cabinet ever
had more reason to hold small fancy for his
position than the first occupant of the place,
Edmund Randolph. He became so dissatisfied
with his lot that he set his ideas in black ON
white for the sake Of posterity's information.
He described himself as "a sort Of mongrel
between the State and the United States called
an officer Of some rank under the former and
yet thrust out to get a livelihood by the latter
The position of Attorney General paid only
81, 500 a year in that time, but the occupant
apparently permitted to make such money
on the outside" as he could. There is nothing to
indicate he was expected to remain at the Ma
tional Capital. If he kept in touch with the
President by correspondence and was generally
able to appear for conferences when called, all
hands were satisfied.
Hard and formal requirements, the fact re-
mains, have given way to happenstance and
custom as directing forces in the shaping Of
cabinet manners and activities.
For instance, there Is no rule save only one
developed by usage, which requires the cabinet
to meet ON Tuesday and Friday mornings, as
it now does In earlier times any day of the

President Polk sometimes gave way before criti-
cal situations by calling meeting of his cabi-
net on Sunday. In such circumstances, the
discussions could not begin until the Presidents
return from church and operated under an un-
written rule to adjourn before O'Clock, Polks
dinner hour.
1t was in the Polk administration that many
easy going customs were transformed into ap-
proximations of rules. The head Of that ad-

ministration had a semi-fanatica1 devotion to
orderly procedure which led to adoption of
Tuesdays and Saturdays as cabinet days. as
his term Of Office advanced. This furnished the
basic idea under which Lincoln established the
Tuesday and Friday" schedule which has been
in force ever since.
CvEN after order and routine set hand
l. upon the proceedings the laws of the
United States marched through long success
sion of years without recognizing the fact that
such an institution as the cabinet was in exist
ence. Not until 1907 did the words 'the Presi-
dents cabinet" find their way into single
statute Even then, that way was found only
because legislation proposing salary increases
for heads of Federal departments was loosely
phrased.
That legislation included the stipulation that
payment OF 'the heads of executive depart
ments who are members Of the Presidents
cabinet" should be made at the rate Of $12, 900
a year, beginning March 4, 1907.
When debate in the House reached that por-
ton of the bin, Representative James r. Mann
of Illinois lost no time in addressing some re-
marks to the author of the proposal
II suppose the gentleman is aware" Mr..
Mann stated, that there is no place in the
statutes where there is any recognition Of the
Presidents cabinet. The gentleman, IN his
amendment, provides for an increase Of salary
for the heads of the departments who constitute
the Presidents cabinet. Would 1t not be wiser
to designate the nine secretaries-the heads Of
the various departments-who, In fact, consti-
tute the cabinet?"
Not much more was said ON the matter, and
the bill became law. In this way the term
Presidents cabinet" crept into the atAtutes
as unattended by premeditation as was the entry
Of the institution itself into national Affairs ne
years before the time of its statutory recognition

FL|ER IS KILLED
IN AUTO CRASH

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. April
20.-CruShed and burned in an
automobile accident near here
early this morning, the body of
Albert Harrel, 80. mechanic and
aviator at Wood Field, the airport
of the Dixie Flying Service, was
identified today by E. M. Stur-

The machine is believed to have
turned turtle over an embank-
ment and pinned Harrel beneath.
His skull was crushed and the
body burned beyond recognition.
Identification was established by
the District license tags on the
car and a ring and wrist watch.
Harrel was originally from
Washington and was formerly an
aviator with the Ludington Line.
He left Washington about a
year ago to accept a position with
the Dixie Flying Service. His

That was the discovery made by
Navy officials at the Washington
Navy Yard, where the frigate Con-

Bicentennial observance.
Old Ironsides draws "a feet of
water, and the greatest depth OBJ
tainable at any pier there is %

mean low tide the craft has set
tied in the mud on the bottom Of
the Potomac.
The old frigate is not damaged

the latter consists of several feet
of soft earth, which gives way be-
meath the weight of the massive

the vessel.
At the request of Secretary of

to depths varying from to 25
feet. Capt. Norman Mead is in

Persistent tugging on his line
landed the trout on the bank.

When he arrived home, Mr..
Cave used his carving knife in

SESSION
IN MARYLAND
HITS SNAG
Prince George Officials Seen
Opposing Shore Resolutions;
Economy Doubted

Indications that the Prince
Georges County Board of Com
missioners would not indorse a
resolution adopted by the nine
Eastern Shore counties calling
for a special session of the
Maryland Legislature were Wis
ible today.
Although the resolution, adopted
at a joint meeting of the Eastern
Shore counties, has not yet reached
Prince Georges, informal discus,
sion has revealed that most of the
board members believe the session
would cost more than it could
save.
Cost Slash Is Aim
The special session would be
called to slash State and county
expenses wherever possible.
The idea originated at the an
nual joint meeting of the boards
of commissioners of the nine coun
ties of the Eastern Shore.
After the idea had met approval
there, it was decided to send a
copy to all boards of commission
ers in the State for approval.
Fear Larger Expenditure
Democratic members of the
Prince Georges governing board
said yesterday that, in their belief,
the session would cause a larger
expenditure of State funds than it
could save.
Republican members, however,
said they would approve the move
if members of the legislature would
serve without pay.
