Winter use.
The dainty Nigelia or Love-in- e-mist would
give pleasure to any gardener. The delicate
blue petals almost lost in dainty lacework Of
green are one of the real gems Of the garden
and even after the petals fall the seed pods
have an attractive appearance. Once planted,
the Love n-the mist is always with the gar
dener, for the plant Is self-sowing after the
first season. The plants vary in height from
about foot to almost two feet depending upon
the soil and cultivating conditions.
The Hefanthus or double dwarf sunf1ower is
a mass OF brilliant gold from its first bloom
until Fall, providing the flowers are clipped as
they begin to fade. This plant is q perennial,
and from a few plants solid mass may be
obtained in year two. Hundreds of blooms
may be had from single plant during the
course of a single season, yet this yellow beauty
has been long neglected. Not only does 1t fit
well into the garden, but supplies an endless
quantity of cut flowers, which are particularly
beautiful when mixed with annual larkspur.
The annual larkspur is also well worth plant
ing, and it, like the nigelia, is prolific self
SoWer. Any gardener with ability TO trans
plant never need worry about profusion of
plants for his garden once he has larkspur and
allows them to go to seed. Varying from white
through various shades to deep blue, they are
a joy to any flower lover
For stately dignity in the background of
border or filling-in in some corner, blazing
star or liatriS fills the bill. This unusual per-
ennial grows five feet high, and seems to realize
its purpose, for the flowers bloom from the ends
of the stem back toward the plant Their
light lavender color is well set off by the grass
like green stems upon which the blooms are
carried.
Concealed under the name Of anaaranthus
salicifohos Is an unusual and interesting plant
sometimes referred to under the name Of the
fountain plant. This plant with orange and
bronze leaves shaped much like willow grows
to a height Of three feet, and has all the ap-
pearance Of q fountain with the water issuing
from . number Of levels. 1t, too set in occa-
sionany among the other plants In a border,
makes a striking appearance. The pyrethrum
roseum or painted daisy Is perennial which
supplies wonderfully well the need for cut
flowers.

THE Joyous art OF gardening" has become
too much of a standardized thing with all
the attention confined to q few well known IA
vorites among the flowers and shrubs and
acres of beautiful and easily cultivated plants
completely ignored by the majority of garden
ers. 1t may be the swesome Latin names or 1t
may be the prevalent opinion that formality
should be the principal aim, but whichever or
whatever the reason many Of the beautiful
ANIMALS find no place in the average garden.
The really properly planned garden provides
for a succession Of bloom from the time the
first crocus raises its colorful head in the
Springtime until frost blasts the last Of the
NUNS, dahlias and cannas This succession Is
obtained through the Fall planting of bulbs and
the development of a perennial bed with floW-
ering shrubs forming the background. Open
spots In the garden make the ideal location
for the ANIMALS which give their touch of color
in the off periods between the blooming Of the
perennials.
A border in which the plants are properly
alternated, instead Of group planted, gives the
best results. By alternated Is meant the plant
ing of three or four plants Of one type to-
gether and alongside them certain other plants
in small collections. With intelligent selec-
ton with proper attention to the blooming time
of the various plants the entire length OF
border be spotted with color at all times and
interspersed between the blooming plants will
be the beautiful green foliage Of the plants
through blooming or still to bloom.
Among the colorful border or edging plants
which is usually overlooked is portulaca or rose
moss This ambitious bloomer grows but six
inches high, but makes vivid edglng from
the early Summer until late in the Fall. It
will thrive In sandy soil and where the sun Is
hot. 1t requires no care after the plants are
up and well repays for the care necessary In
getting the seed started.
The Chinese woolflower is another neglected
annual. This beauty, which Is a mass OF scar
let woolike plants, grows two to three feet
high and fits into open spots IN garden where
vivid color is wanted. The blooms are giobular
in shape, the center one being as much as two
feet In circumference The woolfower has
the added advantage OF being available for in
door bouquets during the Winter. The blooms

new Spring, that even now, True Thomas,
I should be thinking about the bleak
shining and about the restleSsnesS of a
wintry sea and about a fallen king In
sober broadcloth. He Is walking upon
the long marge of this sea for the while
that his aging stomach needs to digest
his wholesome dinner; he belches COM
fortably now and then toward the seas
large restlessness, and he regards, half
idly, not any firm and ponderable thing,
but only the far away sea mists as they
rise lightly in the form Of castles which
he ruled in once"
He said But we were talking about
my loneliness. All my life has been a
loneliness excepting only that part I
shared with you. When I left you left
the half of myself in Faery. 1 came
thence manned and bedrugged and over
doubtful My fate has been the fate of
all who have returned out of Faery. I
have loved nor hated nothing; have be-
lieved nothing with any assured faith,
and have laughed without any lustineSS.
There has been no strength and no depth
in my human living. The fervors of
other men, and of the paving women,
too, were a trouble to me, and I went
among them warily, as must do all those
who have returned from Faery. Inside
me there was only a softness and
frivolousness and doubling in the while
that I went among these resolute and
d-talking people, whose frankneSs
could not understand, and whose blum
dering wits I must ward off from ever
understanding me"
The Queen said: What may it avail
any man to browse in a troubled sleeping
when the half of his memories live more
gloriously than he lives?"
But it is i'll work interrupting a poet
who is about the familiar task Of talking
about himself. Thomas Learmont re-
piled instantly:
mo, there are not any words. My
heart understands this matter and my
heart knows very well what am trying
to tell you. But it is my mind which
picks out the battered-about words that
I must say to you, and since my mind
does not understand this matter it gives
me the wrong words. I have not been
unhappy in my human living, and have
done well enough with it, by all the
measurings which are known to me. But
there was something not ever found. All
that has mattered in my life is that I
once had your love-"
So did he at last make an end of his
cropping speech in the while that she lis
tened with a fond and secret smiling
Then the Queen said:
Let us turn homeward, speaking no
vain words and thinking upon no pom
derable thing. Let us follow after shad-
ows in our returning to the two we know
of, In search Of our ancient home.

nod ut your frowsy hearth while the two
we know of pass furtively toward the
fern road that fares between heaven and
hell to our ancient home. Let us be leav-
ing this place. Here the ways OF wisdom
are at struggle against no ponderable
thing, like shadows which war in an
Autumn fog or like dead leaves scuttling
and bustling afiutter to rustic in dusty
cutters. So does the sound Of their
scuffing mufie my music. Let las be leav-
ing this place, for its ways are dreary,
and yonder lies the road to our ancient
home"
Then Thomas Learmont made wide
eyes at this romantic minded and eter-
nally young female, who was offering Tin
her roundabout fiorid fashion, to restore
his own youth and the lost happiness
which they had shared in Faery. That
the girls intentions were kindly, he
knew; but he knew also that she, who
was immortal, could, as consequence,
not understand the most simple and
common-sense facts.
IT am astonished," he said, and he
cleared his throat. II am grieved,
any such evasion to a married man of
my known principles. I most certainly
could not leave the esteemed wife and
the three growing sons and the other
matters to which I am accustomed. I do
not desire to exchange these things for
more glorious things. I like to grieve
over my undeservedly sad lot in life now
and then, madame, because I have
poetic turn of mind, but not even in my
Self-pity is there much profoundneSs
nowadays" said Thomas Learmont, with
very honest regret that his lips could not
lie to this externally young person.
The Queen answered, without any
smiling, as child speaks when a puz-
zling world has proved inexplicably un-
kind: "I have met in this place corpse
that is moving cumbrously, and it is
hunting down a boy that thrived in the
gear of all Faery'S king. Now those light

are descending in the shape of long grave
mounds seen beyond the rim of Wintry
sea, and who am immortal turn home
ward toward by own fellowship, speak
ing no vain words and thinking upon no
ponderable thing"
Then two that had the appearance of
a white hind and of a white hart came
tripping down the fern road, and no sign
remained anywhere of the Queen of
Faery.

was a quite charming girl, and she

that upon yet second occasion she had

will have to be paid for their work according
to their labor. From each according. to his
abilities, to each according to his performance
this is the MARKHAM formula of Socialism that is
the formula of the first stage of Communism,
everyone laborng according to his capacities will
receive for his labor according to his needs.
From each according to his capacities, to each
according to his needs" Socialism never denied
the difference in tastes, in the quantity and quail
ity of needs. Read how Marx criticized Stirner
for his tendency toward equalization Read Marks
criticism Of the Gotha program of 1875. Read
the subsequent works of Marx, EngelS and Lenin
and you will see how sharply they attack equal
ization. Equalization has its source in the pea
SAINT mode of thinking, in the psychology of
dividing up" of goods equally, in the psychology
of the primitive peasant communism" Equal
ization has nothing in common with the Marx
ian Socialism, Only people unfamiliar with
MarXism can picture the matter in such prirn-
tive manner as if the Russian Bolsheviks want
to gather all goods in a heap and divide them
up equally This is the picture conjured up by
people who have nothing to do with Com
nunisnr. This is how Communism was pictured
by men such as the primitive Communism of
the time of Cromwell and the French revolu-
ton. But Marxism of the Russian Bolsheviks
had nothing in common with similar equahzng
Communists"
Ludwig: You are smoking a cigarette Where
is your legendary pipe, Mr.. Stain? You once
said that words and legends disappear, works
remain But you may believe me that millions
abroad who know nothing of some of your words
and works know about your legendary pipe
Stain: forgot my pipe at home
Ludwig: I will ask you one question which
may quite shock you.
Stain: We Russian BolsheViks have long
learned not to be shocked or surprised.
Ludwig: We have, too in Germany.
Stalin Yes, you will soon stop being aston
ished in Germany.
Ludwig: My question is the following; you
were repeatedly subjected to risk and danger.
You were prosecuted. You participated in bat
Ties number of your close friends persisted
You survived How do you explain this? And
do you believe in fate?
Stain; No. do not BolSheviks, Marxists, do
not believe in fate. The very conception of fate
of destiny is a superstition, a piece Of non
sense, survival of mythology, like the myth
ology of the ancient Greeks who had goddess
of Fate to direct the destinies lofsmen
Ludwig: In other words, the fact that you did

the high cost of living brought about by the
war. ~
In the period of greatest profits for the chem
ical companies the wages remained practically
the same while at the same time the introduc-
ton of new chemical processes while reducing
the price on some chemical commodities resulted
in reducing the number of workers in the indus
try. Furthermore the naturalization process
more work with fewer workers. came into full
swing. In 1929 chemicals and allied products
still rank as the sixth industry in the United
States in Importance, the same place it occupied
in 1919 1t is estimated that from 1914 to 1929
chemicals and allied products have almost
trebled in value of output although by 1929
mergers had resulted in $50 fewer establishments
than in 1918
In this growth, speed-up played the m ost i'm
portant role In some branches Of the hemical
industry where the unit plants had TO be in
creased and they were increased say IS to 40
per cent the value of the output was increased
nearly 500 per cent The wages of the workers
still remained the same
The percentage of labor cost to value of pro-
duction in the chemical industry is one Of the
lowest to be found in any industry UaFollette in
an analysis of giants in the chemical industry.
Crisis Hits Chemical Workers
Since 1929 the chemical workers have been
very hard hit. Wages have been reduced from
rs to 80 per cent. In many leading chemical
companies, with the aid and advice of the Manu-
featuring Chemists Association, the 6-hotr day
and in some even the 5-day week, with either a
corresponding reduction in pay or with general
additional wage cut we're put into effect
The purpose of this stagger system started
with the supposedly humane" purpose Of help
ing the workers by stretching pay rolls over
greater number of workers. 1t resulted instead
in a greater speed-up and wage cuts, and finally
with a complete shutdown Of either the entire
plant of leading chemical company. or some
branches and subsidiaries Some OF the most
skilled chemical workers or even leading chem
lists were thrown out Of work. with no prospect

geois lawfulness. Yes, the Germans have
changed considerably i'll the last few years.
Ludwig: Under what conditions is final
and complete unity of the working class under
the leadership of a single Party possible? Why,
as the Communists say, is such union of the
working class possible only after the proletarian
revolution?
Stain: Such unity of the working class
around the Communist Party can be realized
the easiest as result of a victorious proletarian
revolution. But it will be realized, in the main,
even before the revolution.
Ludwig: Is ambition stimulus or hindrance
to the activity of great historical personality?
Stain: The role of ambition varies under diff
ferent conditions According to conditions
ambition can be stimulus or hindrance to the
activity of a great historical personality. More
frequently it is a hindrance
Ludwig: Is the Octover Revolution in any way
continuation and completion of the Great
French Revolution?
Stain: The october revolution is neither a.
continuation nor a completion of the great
French revolution The aim of the French revo-
luton was the liquidation of feudalism and the
consolidation of capitalism. The aim of the
October revolution. however is the liquidation
OF capitalism and the consolidation of Socialism

in insufficient number to take care of all the
workers ~
The chemical workers in the IT, S. A. up TO
1929 numbered nearly 4O0O0a Their average
wage was SGT per week. Since 1929 their number
was greatly reduced In April 1882. with many
chemical workers unemployed the average pay
of the employed chemical worker is a little over
$40 per week. In general, a study of wages
among the chemical workers indicates that they
are among the poorest paid and the hardest hit
by the depression.
Chemical Workers in the U. S. S. r.
The situation of the chemical worker in the
Soviet Union is entirely different The chemical
worker in the Soviet Union works only hours
day. Each fifth day is rest ay, i.e.,
worker works four days and rests on the fifth.
The wages are ITS rubles per month an increase
of 40 per cent as against 1s271929 The workers
of this key industry of national economy enjoy

of their wages. They get yearly vacations of one

worker has a job in the Soviet Union which
means security.

for employment
Race Discrimination
In the Baltimore chemical factories where
most OF the workers are Negroes the white
workers are getting few cents more. The
Negroes are the first to be thrown out of their
jobs and the very last ones to be reinstated
Only recently the manager of Old Hickory Tenn,
in announcing the return of the plant to a.
4s-hom week basis, said: I'VE have been able to
absorb all of the surplus white labor"
Dangerous Working Conditions
The chemical workers have never been organ
lied, and because of this fact were forced to
work under the most dangerous conditions such
as fire hazards, the handling Of poisonous mate
rial OF gases and dusts of highly explosive
nature, ETC.. etc. The risk is very great, and
workers are very often seriously injured, and
even killed, as was the case in New Jersey, when
radium was used for painting watch dials, caus-
ing the death of many workers.
The workers generally are unprotected Their
clothes are not sufficiently protected against
acids or other caustic chemicals that go into the
skin Of the workers Many of unemployed chem
ical workers have been injured in consequence Of
inhaling the poisonous gases and fumes. Occa-
sionally workers after injury being less produc-
tive for the company, have been withdrawn
when not entirely discharged from their reg
ular work and assigned at supposedly easier
work at substantial reduction in pay, but the
majority are thrown out on the scrap heap.
Health protection for the workers is measured
in terms of cost, and if it affects the profits
safety is unimportant The safety meeting of
the bosses are farce and turn out TO be lee
lures in speed-up only endangerine the life of
the worker still more.
The system of docking a half hours pay for
being late one minute is still in existence in
many plants. In March, 1881, this docking sys-
tenn in the Union Carbide and Carbon Co. was
exposed by the grievance committee organizer OF
the Trade Union Unity League. In most plants
the workers have only a half-hour for lunch.
There is no adequate and sanitary prowk.on for
