THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

It was a nice article, all about the
formal and the informal garden, ane
how you must not mix the two.
One of the illustrations, however
showed as neat mixture as any one
would want to see.
1t Is ever sol
No sooner are hard and fast rules
laid down than some inconsiderate per-
son breaks them
With perfect results!
1t Is possible to mix the formal anC
the informal in any garden. if one
knows how, if one has the understand
ing spirit, If one loves the garden before
regulations or rules.
This is as good time as any to think
over the home garden of next Spring
and Summer.
Commonly such "fireside gardening
consists Of consideration of the seee
one proposes to buy, the plants the gar
dener expects to set out, the transplant.
ing of old things he believes necessary
It might well be devoted to a plain
determination to do as one pleases in
ones own small plot of ground.
If gardeners were to listen to all the
prophets, all the experts, all the gratui-
IOlS duNlScIS, LIlty WOulu SeC nowhere
in personal satisfaction.
Determine highly, therefore, to gar
den as one pleaseS, since formal or in
formal is not the real point at issue.
If it were, the writer of the fine ar
ticle mentioned would scarce lay down
law, then go to the trouble of ex-
planning how these examples do not
break it, although they seem to. II
makes so much difference, evidently
just whose garden it is!
If the writer of the article were tc
come into the average small garden
and notice the ruthless mixing of for
NAL and informal, probably he would
stand on his head in denunciation
whereas all the powers of thought are
brought to bear to explain how this
violation is not a violation, after all.
Well, SO be it. But it looks very much
like a violation to us, and to Others
who look at the pictures.
The real point is to garden as one
pleases. then the experts will think up
ways and means to defend violations
of their immutable rules, if the results
are good.
II ltSullS dIt SOOu.
That is the real secret of successful
gardening after all
But who must the results be good
for?
The experts?
For visitors, whether they come once
year or once a week?
No, for none of these, but solely for
ones precious self, the gardener him
self.
Not enough has been written, We sus-
pect, about that famous gentleman,
that gracious gentlewoman
He, or she, is greater than all rules,
all regulations.
The rules are for him, theys are for
her
The gardener is everything, and the
garden itself just something.
Rules are nothing.
If this idea of the sanctity of the
soul of the individual gardener gets
firmly rooted. as all good things should
do in all good gardens it is difficult, if
not impossible, to get it out of ones
head, even if one wants to, and one
never does, of course.

The gardener is the works, the whole
show, and he should conduct his gar
dening activities TO please himself be-
fore any one else. This selflshneSs will
result in satisfaction.

Taxicab Regulation.

The Public Utilities Commission has

be no ground for complaints against

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHIANDER JOHNSON.

The Signal.
Be patient with the cap and bells.
The garb is humble as rule,
Yet loyal service often dwells
Beneath the gulSe of ridicule.
It is when Fate appears to jest
And lets a folly thrive too long
That tragedy, with cruel zest,
For Right is substituting Wrong.
So patient be with Punchinel,
Who bids us taste before we quaff
And as of danger he would tell
Sends forth the signal Of Q laugh.

A theory that Japan may be called
upon to protect the American conti-
nents from China suggests startling
possibilities for China as an aggressively
militariStic nation. Hitherto the Chi

defensive StrategistS, such as Bret Harte
describes in his poem about All Sin,
with ways that are dark and tricks that

Organ Grinding Gains
Higher Reich Status.

Berlin -Spiegel-In the days before
the war the grind d-organ was for most
of its exploiters the very last recourse,
and most of the organ-grinders were
men disabled in wars previous, or per-
haps merely aged veterans Of the same
They were generally old people with
white boards. decorated with military
orders and medals OF honor. Otherwise,
the state had not concerned itself much
about them. And when they now and
then ground out Of their music-boxes:
For what I am and what I have
Thank I my Fatherland,'
the strains, for all their quaint and
pretty harmony, sounded to these poor
fellows like nothing but bitterest mockery
Today, however, conditions are quite
different; one sees no war-wounded on
with them has vanished, likewise, the old
trundling crank-organs which formerly,
upon the beStowal of the most inSignifi-
cant gratuity, poured forth innumerable
melodies with discords plenty, fat and
sharp, but all with the typical accom-
paniment best represented in print by
the characters "hmtata, hmtata" In
stead, richly toned, and really musical
barrel-organs have taken up the Offices
of the old profession, and have substi-
key jigs and jingles Of yore. The con-
temporary organ-grinder is a real busi-
ness man, and disabled neither in body
nor In head. He has to be an individual
of means to begin with, and to have
definite plans for the future of his musi-
cal vocation, too. For a good grind
organ costs today over a thousand
marks (S38O), and that is reason enough
for the comparative scarcity OF organ
grinders in the streets when we recall
the numbers of these popular enter
tainers two or three decades ago.
Because Of the high purchase price,
many of these itinerant impreSarios
rent for a weekly stipend the instru-
ments they use. And they must employ
them early and late if they are to earn
enough to pay for the rent Of the ma
chimes, particularly the more expensive
ones whose weekly rate is based upon
perhaps a value of $4,000 Reichs-mark
(S5 ,7OO). The earning capacity of any
rel-organ, however, depends upon the
newness and the variety Of its repertoire,
but even then reasonable profits cannot
be guaranteed. For this sort of con-
cert one can hear without paying ad-
mission.

DUHAMEL SPEAKS
ON SLAVERY DAYS
Recalls Part in Work Here in
Talk Before Society of
Natives.

The early Federal building program"
under which the infant Capital had its
beginning owed much to the slave labor
1t embraced, James F. Duhamel, histo-
rian. declared at the February meeting
of the Society of Natives in the Wash
mgton Club last night.
Mr.. Duhamel spoke on slavery IN
Washington and he said:
Much to the credit OF the Washing
ton slave, he was found at an early date
at work on the Government and other
buildings and did his share in the begin
ming and upbuilding of our great city.
There were 81 of these laborers and a
hospital was erected for them especially
IN Judiciary Square and the best physi-
clans In the city were employed to at
tend them. These men were hired from
their owners, but it was the common
practice Of the owners to give the slaves
a portion of the wages"
Two Glasses of Slaves.
In his talk Mr.. Duhamel pointed out
that there were two classes of slaves,
field hands and house darkies." The
latter class, he said, was the most IA
miliar to the Capital. These were
trained in domestic duties, frequently
well educated and were invariably loyal
to their owners. Many of them were
remembered in the wills of their mas
ters, who provided trust funds for the
colored servants comfort.
As the slavery question became a
leading political issue, Mr.. DuhameI re-
lated. Abraham Lincoln, then in the
House OF Representatives, introduced in
1849 bill to abolish slavery.

But it was too soon," Mr.. Duhamel

slaves then living here, so that all were
free and their owners were paid about
