Grown Lands to Be Diviid- ed for People-Auton-
 omy for Catalonia

MADRID, Sept. S.-Two pro- jeots affecting the future course Of the Republic of Spain became a realty when the Assembly put through "agrarian reforms" and a statute granting limited auton- omy to Catalonia Province.
 The agrarian measure, in the final chapter provides for the distribution into community farms Of hundreds of large estates held under royal grants and othe-- properties formerly held by the French Spanish Crown.
 Conservative estimates said the law will probably affect nearly 52,OO0, 900 acres valued at $5l ,500,- 1000 and provide land for sev- eral hundred thousand persons.
 The Catalomian measure even- tually will convert Spain into union similar to the United States except the states will be under the complete control of the na- tional government.

SPRINCTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTIE,

~ HILDHOOD memories Of Ma
ture, even Of trivial details, are
L. worth hundred adult impress
~ SionS. So one f1oWer-lover, at
least, will never forget his thrill
when he first saw the blue flags grow
ing in the marshes, and a bit of the
wonder of those first impressions still
returns now when. just as this time of
year, see the blue flags glorifying
those otherwise desolate swamps, the
abode of old tin cans, near the head
of the Long Bridge, on the Virginia
shore.
To be sure, a stand of blue flags in
the marshes no longer looks to me as
tall and mysterious as canebrake.
Yet I still can recapture my marvel
over the big, frail, purple-blue flowers,
with their curious falls" as the garden
folk call the depending sepals, their
elegant but tiny standards" or petals,
and their great, frail style-branches
that are more beautiful than the petals.
There is marvellous elegance in the
spathe leaves that enfold the flower at
the base and resemble the sepals Of
more ordinary flowers. There is frag-
lie stateliness in the stems closely sus-
tained by the sword-shaped leaves
rather like sort Of gfrl-soldier, grace
fully and martially dressed but not
really strong
Nothing about an iris flower is ordi-
nary. Everything about it IS "Super." "
1t has been called the poor mans or
child, and indeed, an iris, in its proper
evolutionary niche, may be said to be
lily on its way toward becoming an
orchid.
OF course, with time I've come to
learn that our native iris versicolor,
the blue flag. is neither the true fleur-
de-liS, the lily of France, of Jeanne
dare, of the ValoiS kings, as I sup
posed In childhood, nor does it belong
to the aristocratic section of the genus
iris. Our common garden irises have
all OF them bearded falls" or sepals,
and include iris germanica, iris fioren-
tina and others well known to every
one who ever read nursery catalogue.
This is the group out of which innu-
merable marvellous variants and hy-
brids have sprung spontaneously, or
have been cleverly evolved by breeding.
Our native iris belongs to the rustic
"apogon" or beardleSS group, which
shows much less tendency to produce
easy varieties and hybrids. Moreover.
the shapes Of its falls and standards
are not elegant; they are too rigid,
spindling and broaden out in the
wrong places. The plant is too tall
and weedy-looking in the garden and,
worse still, it needs a swamp-a COM
modify unavailable and undesirable in
small properties. The same objections
hold for the yellow flag Of Europe, a
plant closely related to our blue flag.
The yellow flag, which has natural
lied itself along the lower Potomac, is
the true fleur-de-lis, being a native of
France. Our botany and garden books
are all wrong when they state that the
common garden iris is the feur-de-lis,
since that is q native of the Orient.
Further, the old coats-of arms of
France always show yellow fleur-de-lis
designs. Iris germanica is never yell
low, while the water flag of France.
iris pseudacorus, is always yellow.
