the French Chamber Of Deputies Com

eThis is a lying invention, and If the

be worth denying" he said.

Tydings Surprises Drys.
Taking the drys by complete surprise,
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary
land, anti-prohibition leader, had in
terrupted the lengthy filibuster of SEN
ator Sheppard, Texas dry, to move the
tabling Of the Blaine motion so the
Senate might consider important relief
legislation.
We are anxious to have this motion
killed at this time" Tydings said. I'VE
are making this move in absolute good
faith SO the Senate can go on with the
business of the Natien. ~ -, r...7T
Tydings said he had polled the entire
anti-prohibition group and all but one
favored tabling the motion.
Democratic Leader Robinson then
jumped into the fray, however. and op-
posed the Tydipgs move. He took many
Democrats with him on the vote.
Senator Blaine" the Arkansas Sem
ator said, has not had a fair oppor-
tunity to present his side against what
seems to be a persistent organized fili-
buster and he Is entitled to some time.
This Is pitiable spectacle. It re-
peats what happened here o few weeks
ago when an opposition consisting Of
Just few Senators kept us in session
indefinitely before we passed the bank
ing bill.
THE question Is, must the Senate sur
render its ability to functionq If so,
every bill after this Is liable to erl-
counter the same condition that Is pre-
sented here. The action of Senator
Sheppard in yielding to Senator Tyd-
lngs 10 make his motion is an unfair

Sheppard. co-author of the eighteenth

MS intention OF averting a vote on re-
peal at this time. He read haltingiy
for more than four hours from an Old
League OF Nations document ana smil-
mgly remarked that since the Senate
was accustomed to hearing him on pro-
hlbition, he would pick UP where he

iydings interrupted the Texan when

he told the Senate only Is days OF the
session remained and no business had

Peru as a result of the beginning OF
open warfare in the long threatening

Amazon gateway to the Atlantic Ocean.
The battle began in Brazilian terri

Lozano Ordered Home.
4Fabio Lozano, jr. Minister to Peru,
and son of the Colombian Minister
to the United States, was ordered to
demand his passports from the Peru
vian government and return home.
He was also ordered, before leaving,
to present formal protest to the Peru
Wan government against the attack"
ON the Colombian flotilla while in
neutral (Brazilian) waters, which con-
tinued in Colombian waters that the
fiotilla was navigating in order to &C
complish its police mission to Colon
bian territory"
(Both Leticia and Tarapaca are In
the strip of land ceded to Colombia in
a treaty signed in 1922 and ratified by
Colombia In 1925 and Peru in 1927. In
defense of the seizure of Leticia by
Peruvian civilians last September /,
Peru claims Colombia failed to cede
certain other areas to Peru under terms
of the treaty.
President Enrique Alaya Herrera is
sued a bulletin today saying Colombian
troops were being landed in the dis
puted section north of Leticia and that
they were protected by gunboat's
artillery.
Says Planes Attack Ships.
His statement said a Peruvian avia-
ton squadron yesterday attacked the
Colombian hotilla of four vessels, which
recently transported 1000 troops up
the Amazon to the Lettcia area. This
bulletin also said the attack occurred
while the flotilla was in Brazilian waters
and that it was in Colombian waters
at present.
Alfred Vasquez Cobo, commander of
the Colombian forces, reported that two
of his officers recently went by boat to
Tarapaca, which was being held by a
Peruvian garrison, and asked the Peru
vians to evacuate. He said they re-
fused. (The Putumayo River joins the
Upper Amazon about 100 miles east OF
Tarapaca. Tarapaca and Leticia are

Skyscrapers Under Attack,

From the Asbury Park Evening Press.
OF late the tall building not
uncommon in the smaller cities-has
come in for no little discussion, both
favorable and unfavorable. Some con-
denim it and others give 1t a clean bill
of health. There is pretty general
agreement, however, that even the sky
scraper is here to stay.
In a measure high buildings assist
the processes of city-making Econo-
mists may insist that man is not gre
garious animal by nature, but they
must admit that he has become one by
necessity. Human beings like to draw
together, and find profit in doing some
kinds of work in close proximity Sky
scrapers help them by Drinking to-
gether under one roof, or in one block,
all sorts of conveniences and interre-
lated business that never could have
been brought together 50 well or ad-
vast lateral expansions.
Evils have followed in the wake Of
the many-storied building At first the
public was concerned simply with pre-
venting it from shutting light out Of
streets and windows. It Is only within
recent years that outspoken critics have
centered their attack on the skyscraper
as cause Of tratnc and transportation
congestion.
Real estate men-who of all men
should know better-often assert that
high buildings are necessary because
the land they are built upon costs 50
much. With building heights re-
stricted the price Of land would not
rise above the figure upon which low
buildings could pay ground rents. It
is the skyscraper's tremendous earning
capacity that fixes the value Of the
land upon which 1t stands.
Communities In which the skyscraper
evil has not been felt are prudent and
justified in taking preventive measures
In the form Of building restrictions.

Base Ball Justice.

Penalties for the fracas at the WASH
ington base ball park last Tuesday have
been meted out to the trio Of players
who. according to the high command Of
the American League, were chiefly re-
sponsible for the trouble. Those three
have been each suspended for i've days
and fined 500. They will be eligible
for play next Monday, which, in con-
sequence Of the schedule Of the clubs
activities. will mean that they viii re-
sumo their services at the opening OF
the first western trip. Had less
lenient view been taken of their doings
they might have been lost to their teams
for q month and been fined . thousand

Her Penalty.
From the Portland Oregon Daily Journal.
What in human life could be mo

From the Portland oregon Daily Journal
What in human life could be more
awful than Winnie Ruth Judd at the
hearing as to her sanity!
Thus, In q hysterical outburst, she
shrieked, "They are all degenerates-al
OF them!" Her eyes blazed and her pale
face was gaunt with tension. A matron
tried to grab her, but the screaming
prisoner struggled free.
At other times, though the question of
whether or not she was to hang was ON
trial at the hearing, she sat listless and
IN complete indifference to the pro-
ceedinGs.
Sane or insane, crazy or rational, the
woman Is despair exemplified, is agony
incarnated. She took human life. Il
was defiance of moral and statutory
law. It went beyond the pale and
turned life into death
The penalty is her torture at the
hearing. Or it is the poison and the
nightmare In her blood-ridden thoughts.
Before her Is the picture of her body
dangling from scaffold, a sight to
stagger the dead, a spectacle to horrify
and terrorize.
It ever you allow your anger to hold
you In sway, II ever there is temptation
for you to strike fellow creature, re-
member Winnie Ruth Judd In her
nightmare Of madness. She brought It
ON herself.
And she IS paying the terrific price.
Never k1ll-that Is the mighty moral Of
this bloody-handed woman.

to the faithful fans Of ths Capital, who
have feared the loss Of two Of the most
valuable players on the local team for
the entire span Of the fir1t visit to the
West. where 1t is hoped that the banner
Of the Warrington representation In
the American League will be advanced
to high position. It indicates, fur
thermore, . disposition On the part Of
the league president not to quench too
positively the lighting spirit" Of the
players. which he recently urged in an
admouitiou to play the game asgres-
sively.
This affair, which has ended for the
present with few scars and light pun
ishment, reveals the employment of tao
tics Of play that have been In vogue
for many years. The base runners try
to block the base players, especially at
second base and particularly when dou-
BILE plays are in train. It Is no new
thing for runners to 60 into second
base with spikes flying" for the pur-
pose Of intimidating the guardians Of
the sack and preventing effective throws
to other bases. Certain players have
developed a technique in this matter
that defies the rules and evades the
umpire. Feuds have been the order Of
the. diamond for season after season.
Particular players "lay for" certain
other players. These animosities are
we'll known to the fraternity and to
some degree to the public. There Is
always the possibility Of temperamental
outbursts that will enliven the game.
Perhaps this Is part Of the attraction
Of the sport, for the spirit of the old
Roman days Of gladiatorial combats Is
not extinct, by any means.
It Is held by some that these indi-
Ydual animosities, particularly between
members Of teams that are close rivals
for league leadership, add Sest to the
games. But . player who succumbs
to the temptation to fight as an indi-
vidual risks his status as q player and
his worth to his team. 1t may be be-
heved that In the future encounters
between these particular teams this
season there viii be careful avoidance
Of overt happenings resulting in heavier
penalties that might affect the cham
pionship chances.

Now that almost all the shrubs, with
the exception Of the honest, unappre-
ciated altheas, have put on their new
leaves, the world Of men is aware once
more of the debt 1t owes them.
It would be different physical world
II there were nothing but trees and
grass. with no bushes to fill in the gaps
to soften down entire landscapes, to
put the finishing touches to the green
symphony Of the season.
No matter how beautiful the flowers a
shrub bears, the leaves are the real
charm, since they give the bush its
proper outline. More than that, how
ever, they contribute lasting loveliness
Spring and Summer through, many OF
them well into the Fall.
For half a year or more the sturdy
shrubs, with their woody stems, their
fine leaves and their various blossoms
play very major part in the beautifi-
cation Of the lives Of all Of us.
The finest edifices are adorned by
them, as well as the most humble
dwellings. Stately governmental build
ings do better with them around. There
Is no bit Of human construction toe
large or too small for them, none toe
costly nor to cheap.

It Is well to appreciate the shrubs
for despite their widespread use they
might be used q great deal more thar
they are, with plain benefits.
Those who are interested in gardening
often wonder what becomes of the thou
sands Of shrubs of various sorts sole
every Springtime all over the land.
Somehow ones city looks no partic-
ularly different, one year from another
yet it is well known that many thou
sands upon thousands Of hlacs, Spiraeas
Wiegelas and the like have been planted
during the past ten years, during which
| q renewed interest in gardening has
taken place in America.
What becomes of 1t all?
At first thought one Is inclined to
feel that about half of 1t dies, lost be-
cause of improper planting, or lack OF
subsequent care, or because OF poor
stock in the first place.
Undoubtedly these causes take their

They plant too deep, or they fail to
spread out the roots.
They dig a tiny hole in the Garth
cram the roots in, in a sort of mass
and then fail to water the earth thor
oughly as they put soil in.
The result is that actual air pockets
are left in the ground in which the
roots tend to wither and die.
Added to this mistreatment (and all
the time when they are wanting to dc
1t 80 properly, they commonly fail to
trim back, or prune, the branches OF
the shrubs they set out
No doubt more bushes OF all sorts are
lost through lack Of pruning at this
time than from any other one cause.

America Of ours, that we dislike to wait
two or three years for anything to grow
for us.
