(By NEA Serylcc) Washington. - Flower garden pools have been available only to gardeners of considerable means in the past. Lately, however, the cost of these silvery garden jewels have been reduced to meet the average pocketbook and many flower growers are constructing their own pools.
 According to government flower garden experts, an attractive pool can be built for $25 or $30, and will not require an extraordinary skill in construction. 4<
 The first step in construction should be selection of a natural site for the pool. If your garden has q low spot, that is the logical loca- tion of your water garden, as water tends to collect in low places.
 Shape of the pool is important.
 It should not be perfectly round, nor should 1t be square; the attrac- tive unit is irregular and contains several "bays' and "inlets.''
 Allow for Drainage.
 In excavating, be sure to allow about 10 inches extra all around and in depth to make up for the space occupied by concrete and q layer of cinders which should be spread on the bottom of the pool built on clay soil. This Is done to allow adequate drainage. Pools built on sandy soil do not require this drainage medium.
 Twenty-four inches is deep enough for most pools and this depth should be stepped in several places to allowA for a shallow bird bath, and places to set potted wa ter plants.
 After excavation all earth inside the pool, including the walls should be we'll tamped. Cinders are then set on the bottom to depth of four or five inches. As guide in getting the concrete walls placed to an even depth, drive several small pegs in the ground. These can be removed after the concrete has been poured and the holes they leave filled in.
 The best mixture of concrete to use Is the 1-2-3 type. This is made of one part of cement, two of sand and three of gravel. To this is sometimes added a waterproofing ingredient.
 Wire Mesh Holds Concrete.
 It is very important to place tho concrete rather dry, as when laid too wet 1t has tendency to slip down from the walls of this excava- ton. To prevent this slipping, lay down q serene of wire mesh all around the pool. This should not be left on the bottom of the con- crete, however, but should be pulled into the middle of the wet mass by means of hook--a com- mon button hook is an excellent tool.
 Start with the sides first. If tho bototm is spread first, laying the

Serving Warrant
Gives No Trouble

1t was not much trouble for coun-
ty officers to seek out A. B. Les
ter, Jr., when they were handed a
warrant for his arrest on a charge
of petty theft. In fact, it was no
trouble at all.
The warrant was issued May 5,
charging Lester with theft OF S27
from the Kirby's shoe store. He
heard of it shortly after it was is
sued, and decided to go to Los An
geles to consult his attorney. He
did so.
Officers heard Lester was in Los
Angeles, and sent a warrant there.
In the meantime, however, Lester
started back. This morning he ap-
peared at the county jail and said
he thought some officer might
want to arrest him.
After a brief conference, Lester
was sent TO Judge I. Mayfield,
without an escort. He was inform
ed OF the charge and pleaded
guilty. Judgment was reserved un-
til this afternoon.

Thirteen Chinese
Booked At Jail

Grinning cheerfully at the fate
which has started them on their
return to China and at the laws
of the United States which provide
for their free deportation to that
country, 13 Chinese filed into the
county Jail yesterday afternoon in
custody of immigration officers,
once again bringing an upward
swing to the number of Orientals
held in custody here.
Since more than 100 Chinese were
taken to San Diego several weeks
ago for trial by the federal court,
the northWard trek across the in
ternational border came to COM
parative stop. Yesterdays invasion,
however, was seen by officers as the
beginning of another hegira, with
China as the ultimate goal.
