Tea in the Garden
Mrs. Arthur Defenderfer will
serve tea on Saturday afternoon
in her charming garden; and
among the splendid show places
of the tour are Abremont, the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Parsons Erwin; Woodend, the
home of Capt. and Mrs. Chester
Wells, and the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. William I. Corby at Chevy
Chase Circle.
Each of these estates displays
formal garden developments.
Their remarkable schemes of
garden units are inspirations
to all gardeners. At Woodend,
Mrs. Wells has taken the
natural contours of her grounds
into consideration in placing
rock gardens, a beautiful ever
green court bordered with pur-
pie iris and the woodland gar
den and lily pool.
The Italian .unken garden
framed in evergreen and roses
at the Corby home is one of
the famous sights of Washing
ton. Unusual groupings of
rare evergreenS are also of
particular interest on this
estate.
Abremont, another elabor.
ately developed estate, is pat
tern for the most ambitious
gardener. It is a veritable Sc
quence of gardens, each lovely
In itself. Not only is there the
Japanese garden, the lily pool,
rose and evergreen courts, and
the lilac walk, but the very
woods are '--'r1g turned into a
wild garden of colorful and
unusual blooms. Every woman
will envy Mrs. Erwin the "cut-
., ting garden" where blooms for
the house are procured so that
1t is not necessary to secure cut
flowers from the other gardens.
Smaller Gardens
An especially attractive fea-
ture of the tour is the inclusion
of a number of the smartly
planned smaller gardens that
abound in ideas and suggestions
for every amateur gardener.
Among these is the exquisite
Rose Greeley designed garden
of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Fowler,
where a little white garden"
planned to produce white bios
SONS the season round, occupies
one corner.
Colonel and Mrs. l.. c. Dun
can have a lovely garden at
their home on Bradley Lane,
which Colonel Duncan planned
and executed even to the &C.
ment garden furnishings and
fountains which accent the
landscaping scheme. Narrow
brick walks aid in giving per-
spective, while an amusing little
Japanese rock garden, with tiny
bridges and pagodas. occupies
o far corner. Another one is
taken up with a miniature
nursery, where the colonel
raises his own trees from the
seed.

A Real Hero.
(Port Angeles News.)

Rsking ones life in brief and gallant gesture isn't half as hard being consistently brave over a period of weeks. Perhaps that is why known 12-year r-old Eskimo boy is being acclaimed a hero today.
 Not very long ago a sledge pulled into Wagner Inlet. Harnessed to it were two dogs and sturdy, tired little boy For weeks and weeks-so many he didn't try to remember them-the boy had pulled with the dogs. Under the blankets the sled were a threeyear- boy and who was dangerously ill.
 The story the group told was very simple. When the Eskimo family had been left destitute at the death of the father the boy had gone into the forests, hunting game and fish. One day he had too much meat for the dogs to pull He fitted a harness to his own shoulders and helped to drag the provisions home. It hard work But he didn't complain His mother, who had been ill when he left, was much worse There nothing to do but take his place with the dogs again and start on the 160-me trip to the place where the nearest doctor had office. For the last three days of the drive he had food.
 The boy didn't ask for any praise. His mother would live, he told. That was enough reward for him.
 The modesty of the lad the fact that he did something brave merely because it was his duty, have attracted attention to him. It reminds us that the spectacular feat isn't necessarily the courageous one. It isn't hard to rise to heights when the banners and the bands play. But to push through the Norhand, pulling with the dogs, racing against death with nobody to know or care if you make it if you dont-that requires stamina.
 It is quite in keeping with the episodes that the name of the youngster is not known He wouldn't want it to be.

WHY NOT MAKE THEM ALL TOLL
 ROADS?

Perhaps the railroad arrangements throughout the country that complain about the devastative competition of busses and trucks could take notice with profit of the system the Secretary of the Interior is trying to introduce in Alaska The Sec retary of the Interior proposes to charge tolls on highways that compete with the Government owned Alaska Railroad so that competition might be smothered.
 Many people contend that railroads get any sort of legislation they want in the United States if they get together. Why do they not egslate to charge busses and trucks tolls for the of highways and make the tolls high that people would have to ride and send their feright on rail- roads instead of the highways? Aren't private ly owned railroads entitled to much consideration Government owned railroads? If the Alaska Railroad is entitled to a monopoly of transporting people and things why not the Northern Pacific, the Southern Pacific, etc. etc?

TEAR GUNSHE[
HARMLESS

Tear-gas guns and bombs are
not dangerous weapons, Judge
Ralph Given ruled yesterday in
Police Court.
The problem was presented to
him when James Shartzer. %,
1900 block Seventh st. N. W.,
was arrested Sunday and a
fountain-pen shaped tear-gas gun
was found on his person.
In dismissing the charge
against the young man, Judge
Given pointed out that Congress
had originally considered inclu-
sion of tear gas weapons in the
new firearms act, which was ap-
proved last July, and had decided
against including the weapons in
the statute.
Although stating that the weap.
ons may be used and sold openly,
Judge Given reminded that an ul1'
warranted assault with one OF
the weapons would give rise to
a. prosecution on a charge OF
assault.
