SHAW RECALLS
POCROM HORROR
City Lawyer Was Student
in Odessa During
Terror Reiqn.

Reports of persecution of Jews in
Germany have more than a passing
interest for Lawrence A. Shaw, in
dianapolis attorney, recalling to his
memory the famous Russian po-
gromS of 1905 and 1906.
Shaw was d student in an odessa
university, Black sea port, during
the massacre in which more than
$500 Jews were slain in Odessa
alone.
The pogrom, lasting eight days,
was the result of propaganda issued
by the czarist regime to counteract
the revolutionary program which
even then was spreading to alarm
ing proportions.
Urged on by secret police and i'm
perial army officers, peasants slaugh-
tered Jewish men, women, and even
children, shooting them down from
ambush in many instances.
The massacre was halted largely
through the able organization of a
self defense committee, known as
the Selbschutze, composed of stu
dents and others of the more in
telligent classes, Shaw said.
He has a number of photographs
of men and children victims of the
hectic eight days, some with eyes
pierced, some beaten to death and
others shot or bayoneted.
AS a result of his memory of the
horrors of the Russian massacre
Shaw has written a letter to Presi-
dent Franklin d. Roosevelt asking
him to intercede to protect the
German Jews and another to Adolf
Hitler, German dictator, demanding
that the persecution be halted.

With the aid of their training in
the occupational therapy shop at
the home, the Boy Scouts have
gained their metal and Woodcraft
honors.
The girls have learned to tie
knots, which is one of the first les
sons in Scout lore. They are pro-
crossing in cooking lessons and
gardening Struggling green plants
in tiny flower pots on the sun porch
are tended daily by members of this
unique troop.
Physical handicaps which would
seem hopeless to the average boy
and girl have been dismissed with
CHEEKY smiles by these youngsters.
They face the problems of Scout
ing with sturdy grins, and pain and
discomfort temporarily are forgot
ten in the joy of competition and
accomplishment.
IN the council circle, which was
l. planned and built by the Scouts
of the troop, steak fries and other
outdoor meals are served to the
members of the girls troop, and to
the attendant nurses.
The totem pole which has been
erected is a product of Scout wood
craft. Log benches, treasure
chest, and a large council chair also
are evidence of the ability Of the
members of this troop, the Flying
Eagle patrol.
Each Saturday the boys are visit
ed by Thornton Stone of Blooming
ton, chairman of the work in the
convalescent home. The Girl Scout
troop is under direction of Miss
Betty Bowman and Miss Margaret
Titus. The troop is one Of three
recently organized under the project
of extension scouting, promoted by
the national organization.
AS they hobble to their regular
Scout meetings. these boys and
girls do their daily good deeds" by
lending a friendly hand to less for
tunate Scouts, who must attend the
meetings in wheel chairs.

Soil Preparation Is Important in Your Garden

TINE main point is to have the
Il soil in good condition. fine
and mellow, and with plenty Of
vegetable matter mixed with the
original soil materials.
If manure is used, it should be
mixed with the soil. and the more
thoroughly it is mixed, the better.
The same is true regarding tbs
use Of fertilizers.
That leads to another thought,
and that is to pillow or spade the
soil fairly deeply and to break
the soil into fine particles to the
full depth Of blowing or spading.
The expert gardener turns his
soil over in thin slices or spade
fuls, and breaks each and every
spadeful into fine particles as he
goes.
Another point-don't pillow or
spade the ground when it is wet.
The usual test is to squeeze
handful of the soil in the palm
of the hand-if it sticks together
in a ball it is too wet to work, but
if it crumbles apart when released
it is ready.

NATURALLY, many gardeners
~ are going to plant gardens
this year on land that has not
been in cultivation for long
time. Unless the ground is pre-
pared properly, failure will be al
most sure to follow.
On most farms the same garden
plot has been in use for years, and
the soil has been improved by the
addition of manure and fertilizers.
If the prospective gardener has
any choice of land. he should by
all means select a tract that has
been well cared for, but if that
is impossible, and if he must use
land that has been neglected, the
best thing to do is to start early,
turn the soil over rather deeply,
and get it in the best possible
condition before planting.
Neglected soils need manure. but
manure is scarce and in many
localities expensive.

The Commissioners Mite
They Prepare Estimates

The District Commissioners have contributed their little bit
to the matter Of budgeg the National Capital for the next
fiscal year.
The estimates prepared by local officers the
citys financial masters in the Bureau Of the Budget
Those will decide what the District shall be allowed
to ask Congress appropriate for its welfare during the m
cal year 1885.
No one except District officials knows what the estimates
provide for detail The citizens who pay the bills in
formed that the total appropriation sought amounts to
proximay $3500O00 and the general departmental items
also made public.
Judging the totals the District will continue
on budget if all of the items in the estimates allowed
comparison of the total Of the 1885 budget with the
preparations for the current fiscal indicates that the school
system to be deprived of necessary construction aprora
ons and that other departments will likewise have to get along
without necessary capital improvements.
Even with these considerations the Commissioners have
ceeded in their estimates the total allowed by the Budget Bu
reau of $36,710,000
As Daniel j. Donovan District Auditor brings out
his admirably clear accompanying estimates how
this is not attempt defy the Bureau but is due simply

its figure the Bureau did not take into consideration ad
vances which later made from the gasoline tax and water
funds
Aside from the increase which District officials they
are allowed under the action Of the Bureau of the Budget the
only real increase the estimates is in the item providing
returning employees to their full salary scale
This latter is Of justice and Of economic wisdom
is to be hoped that Congress will follow this plan not only
as to District employees but well Federal Government
employees

speedy and equitable settlement of the obligation which the
Federal Government holds toward the National Capital

courts add to the gaiety OF
La Baule. But best Of all, one
spends hours on the beach,
drinking in ocean air and
pines, and pitying those who
prefer to spend hot summer
days in Paris.
On the same stretch of
beach, between La Baule and
Pornichet is La Baule-Les-Pins,
a quiet little resort, sheltered,
lovely, with leafy palm trees,
Mimosas and camelias thriving
in every garden and along the
roads.
From the Pare des Dryades,
there is a charming view of
scattered inland villas set in
luxurious vegetation, and rows
of smart buildings along the
sea front, until it ends in the
frowning rocks that are so
characteristic Of the Brittany
coast. Amusements are as plen-
tiful and varied as at La
Baule, and there are Punch
and Judy shows and children's
concerts and games, making
the place a popular family re-
sort, with cute little French
youngsters in charge of their
bonnes, many of them in the
picturesque dress of Brittany.
Right along the coast are
salt marshes and strange rock
formations, with here and there
a typical fishing village with
it's little harbor and simple
folk who know their homes,
their church and are perfectly
content with their simple life.
Tourists regard them, sketch
them, photograph them, and
they submit to it with an old
world dignity that is as touch
ing as it is charming. No Won
der artists, poets, those who
love the beautiful and the
simple, regard Brittany as their
second home.

OF the highest Importance
to the whole world is the dec
laration of American policy
with regard to the reduction
and limitation of ornaments by

Norman H. Davis has made at
Geneva under instructions from
the Department of State.
Speaking as the chief OF the
delegation representing t n e
United States at the conference
on armaments called by the
League of Nations, Ambassador
Davis, by direction Of President
Roosevelt, puts the world on no
tice to this effect:
When, as and if all the mem

national defense, we, the people
of the United States, do our

corning the reduction and linn
itation of armaments are not
responsible for Germany's with
drawal from the League Of Ma
tions and from it's conference

The dispute which has Sus-
pended the ornaments confer
ence is entirely political in its
nature and European in its
ramifications. 1t is a dispute
between France and Germany
and their allies. with Great
Britain and Italy sometimes on
one side and sometimes on the
other.
In announcing his determine,
ton that the United States
shall not be dragged into this
Old World quarrel, President
Roosevelt is not isolating this
country from the life of the
world. What he is trying to do
is to insulate the United States
from the political quarrel now
raging in Europe between the
victor and the vanquished in

And once again he looks to-
ward the sky, toward his magic
mirror of the heavens to accom-
plish a new miracle. For the
ether today is crowded and the
engineers have been driven to
find new paths. From sound
waves measuring a few feet up
to miles in length, they turn to
little ripples of less than foot.
These short waves, however,
are so readily absorbed by build
ings and mountains that sig
Mailing over vast distances seems
hopeless. But not to this great
dreamer of dreams.
But his most fascinating
dream is the possibility some-
day of talking to the planets, of
sending, by his light ripples,
some message to the great red
star which burns in the heavens
40,000,000 miles away. For his
keen ear has heard things in
the ether for which there is no
human explanation, and his
imagination leaps to the thrill
ing possibility that, away out
in the frightfu1 void of space,
there may be living creatures
trying to talk to us, to signal
to us that they, too, are part
of the living universe.
