A Lily For Minnie

R. G. F., in billet-doux, says
among other things:
Minnie, the Moocher, is
paSSe-been dead for some
time. But even if she weren't
dead she emanates an OdOr that
would warrant her burial. For
that sort of stuff wouldn't even
be good on Ninth Street; but it
most certainly should be con-
fined to that thOrOughfare, so

how to avoid it,"

ton with some of my pals, and
I'd like o get fixed up with a
nice bag. Guess you can fix me
up all right, eh?"
Sam nodded. He walked to
the rear Of the store and re-
turned with a black bag.
Here's something that I rec
ommend very highly" he stated.
You can take my word for the
fact that it's the best article in
the store. It's worth plenty of
money-but as a special favor
for what you did for me, I'll
let you h@v il for $18."
The cop examined it careful
ly, asked few questions, liked
it immensely and told Sam to
wrap it up. He paid the $18 in
cash, thanked Sam extensively
and left. The moment he
walked out, Sam went into a
loud laugh and turned to his
assistant.

How do you like that?" he
grinned. There's the best
laugh of the season. That po-
liceman came in for a favor,
and did you see what I did? 1
took the $12 tag out of the
black bag and charged him $19
for it. And he fell for it!
Ho, no. no."
The assistant shook his head.
That's bad business, SAM"
he said. 1T may be a joke
now, but it can get you into
trouble. Suppose he finds out
he's been gypped and comes
back here?"
Don't worry" replied Sam
confidently. He won't find out
anything. We've seen the last
of him"
Exactly two days later, at
the same hour, the COP re-
turned. With him was another
officer in uniform, and one of
the toughest-looking babies
you'd ever want to see. Sam
wet his lips and closed his eyes.
He had a very definite hunch
that something was going to
happen to him. And, as luck
would have it, he was alone in
the store.
The motorcycle cop walked
right up to him.
Look here, you," he barked
DO you remember that black
bag you sold me the other day:
the one I gave you $18 for?"
Sam was barely able to nod
his head.
"Y-y-yes," he replied feebly.
Is there's there something
Wrong?"
The officer shook his head
and motioned to the other COD.

MORAN'S UNIT LAYS
DOUBLE DUTY PLANS.
Secret Service Prepared to
Take Over Guarding of
Roosevelt if He Is Elected.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Men ready and all plans laid for
double duty, the secret service today
awaited instructions from the American
people whether it is to guard both the
President and a President-elect until
March 4.
Chief w. H Moran OF the secret
service smilingly affirmed today that
preparations had been made and men
selected to reach Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt Immediately should he be
designated to succeed President Hoo
yer.
The regular secret service detail,
headed by Richard Jervis. Is accom-
panying President Hoover to his home
at Palo Alto and will remain with him
until March regardless OF the outcome
of the election.
If President Hoover is reelected,
Jervis. with his aides, will continue their
duties as in the past, without any
change from their normal routine.
If defeated. Gov. Roosevelt will go on
his way unchaperoned by secret service
guards. but they'll be nearby when the
deciding results come in.
Moran kept to himself plans for
guarding Roosevelt, explaining that:
after all. this was a service duty fixed
bv the law, which stipulates the Presl-
dent must be guarded at all times While
in office, and the President-elect from
the hour Of his selection.
The men to guard Gov. Roosevelt
have already been selected, Moran
continued. I'm all probability we will
know Wednesday morning whether
they will go on duty. They are ready
to take over instantly"

NEW YORK. November 8.-The class

School for Girls studied today the dawn
of the nationalistic spirit in the world.
The teacher, whose husband had
wound up his campaign for President
of the United States a few hours be-

questions she asked was:
What is patriotism?"
It was not the first time during the
years she has been teaching that Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt had led class
discussing this subject, and she knew
what to expect.

patriotism means doing something for

GARDEN NOTES

Maryland and Virginia woods con-
tain many beautiful native Towering
plants. such as the dogwood and the
redbud. Just now the trumpet vine,
with its large orange red blossoms. is
to be seen along the roadsides. This
vine is considered as valuable horti-
cultural material further north and is
planted to some extent in this vicinity.
II is not too late TO prune the climb
ing roses. any time in fact, being bet
ter than not at all because the finest
blooms are borne on young canes. In

ceptible varieties, such as Dorothy Per-

really impossible to handle the canes
without injury.

and growth of beneficial soil organisms,
that complicate the story. Our scienti-
fic investigators are just beginning to
understand some of the wonderful
things that go on in the soil.
One could save seed enough from a
single large plant Of certain species,
such as columbine, to literally plant an
entire garden The old-fashioned pinks
are also profuse seeders, so also the
forget-me but the hollyhock leads
them all in seed production. 1t is bet
ter that the seed pods Of all Towering
plants be removed shortly after flower
ing has ceased so that the strength of
the plant may go into growth. Produc-
ton of seed crop will sometimes vir-
tually exhaust plant SO that it never
again amounts to much. This is why
for instance, that the need Of picking
pansy blooms is emphasized.

ever. any one who has contended with

Speaking Of SNOWY vines few surpass
the wisteria, now available not only in
pale blue, but also in white flushed
mauve pink blooms. Many home gar
deners have had unsatisfactory results
with wisteria because of its refusal to
bloom. This is believed to be a result
Of planting in shade, but some gar
deners believe there are non-fioWering
strains. This latter assumption is
probably incorrect. as nurserymen would
naturally propagate from Towering
vines.
