Sturdily through the soil come the
clean fresh iris leaves.
They are harbingers surer than most
Of the advent Of authentic Spring.
Our faith will not waver now, even
though Q blizzard intervene.
Stranger things have happened.
Who win forget that neat snow Of
March 8 last, following . day Of sheer
warmth?
It was blizzard of small proportions,
falling on q day when the majority
1t was q blizzard, none the less.
We have forgotten whether the iris
leaves were up at that time, probably
not, few days can make Q great deal
Of difference.
They are up now, and will not lightly
be dismissed by those who look for the
signs Of the beloved season.
One peony Is up. too, In our yard. It
was planted Just year ago. Last Fall
two similar plants were put in, to test
the comparative claims Of Spring plant
ing and Autumn planting Of peonies
Neither OF the latter are up as yet
which Is not strange. since the other
had q full half years advantage.
Red tips Of peonies are more likely to
get blasted should severe cold spell
Both. however, haye a way with them
when it comes - resisting late cold. In
this respect ~ seem to be relations OF
the crocus ana narcissus, both Of which
are in bloom In places.
Never have the crocuses done as well
as this February and March. Some OF
the yellows began to bloom as early a.
February /. and are still at It, while the
purples are now In full bloom. A fine
feature Of this humble, but popular
flower Is its interesting habit Of closing
up during cold weather and remaining
closed until there Is q slight relaxation
In favor Of warmth. Then 1t calmly
opens its petals again, as II to say, "See
I have never been shutr"

It Is to the iris, however, that the
home gardener pins his greatest hope Of
Spring at hand.
Surely there will not be much cold
weather from now on.
One not only feels 1t in ones bones
but there are the fresh green shoots OF
the iris. pointed and upright, to back
one up.

Preferably this simple task has beer
done, but there Is plenty Of time. For.
tunately the iris not only loves lime, but
suffers no harm from it, even wher
sprinkled directly upon the rhizome.
An average trowel full Of lime should
be placed around each plant and left lie
The new leaves come up through 1t

And what blooms the iris gives usl
One Of the plant big 4" (the other.
are the rose. the peony and the gladi.
olus). the iris is flower which grow
upon one.
Not only is 1t attractive in coloratior
and plant construction" but it pos.
sesses that essential charm, reliability.
There Is something unique about iris

to tell 1t at q glance from other flowers
What intrigues him above everything
else, however, is the reliability Of this
gorgeous flower.

lowed by O demand for his resignation
on the part Of his fellow members IS
almost as remarkable q the notion
itself. The public can have little con-
11ence in the board 20 long ~ it toll
Otes such ideas.
Gangster Aims represent In sordid
detail the personalities and characters
Of the underworld. They depict their
criminal aims and their criminal meth
ods. They reproduce Is faithfully Is
possible the warfare which. organized
crime carries on against society at
large. Their theme is corruption. Mr..
Baldwin presumes to believe that chill
dren are benefited by being exposed to
such instruction. It may be hoped that
the number Of those who agree with
him is tnconsequential.
II 1t were good" for immature minds
to be educated in gang procedure 1t
would follow that children should be
made acquainted with the seamy side
Of life wherever it may be found. They
should be taken to police stations, jails,
prisons, penitentiaries and execution
chambers. They should be given an
opportunity to watch the third degree.
They should be introduced to the oper-
attng rooms Of hospitals and admitted
to the exhibition galleries of morgues.
They should be made familiar with
speakeasies and other houses Of III
fame. AL the Pandora's box of horrors
which may be found in the average
city should be opened to their inspec-
ton. Mr.. Baldwin draws no line. Sup
posedly. he iu1agins that children
would be advantaged by the knowledge
which would be theirs after Q grand
tour Of the gutter. He cannot have it
both ways. Either children should be
protected as much as possible from
knowledge Of crime or they should be
exposed as much as possible to it. Each
parent will decide for himself.
But the father or mother who Is led
astray by Mr.. Baldwin's curious doc
trine would do well to remember that
the child ordinarily is incapable of
judging between right and wrong, be-
tween what Is good and what is bad.
To discriminate, matured Judgment u
necessary, and that is q capacity which
the child does not have. Indeed, 1t may
be doubted that all adults are 30
equipped. There are those who hold
that gangster films have Q deleterious
effect upon even those who should be
qualified to condemn them. Only by
such . perversion of logic as that of
which Mr.. Baldwin is guilty can motion
pictures dealing In crime be good for
any one.
II children already know more about
gangs and gang methods than their
! parents, they know too much. Gang
films must have been their teachers.
The only thing that it b necessary to
understand about gangs Is the necessity
to stamp them out.

A tendency to revive old-fashioned
ideas Is going 80 far as to command new

One great relief in the financial situ-

of exceptional facilities for knowing

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHuANDER JOHNSON.

A Lofty Attitude.
II were . weather man
I'd look into the sky
And prophesy . pleasant plan
OF climate by and by.
I'd always talk of skies so blue
And southern 3ephyrs wandering through
The lands whore biting billiards blew
And made the snowflakes fly.
If were . weather man
I'd call for extra steam
And from studio window scan
The landscapes frosty gleam.
The wild and elemental strife
With which this world of ours Is rife
I would ignore and make this life
An optimistic dream.

RISH INDEPENDENT, Dublin.-The
bill introduced by 56 Deputies of

i expulsion Of the Jesuits from the
country and the confiscation a
their property Is another manifestation
OF the activities Of the enemies of the
Catholic Church.
The Yugoslav Parliament Is not q rep
resentative body. 1t Is the puppet of
the royal dictatorship and an instru-
ment for the oppression Of the Croats
and Slovenes. who have been forced
under the tyrannical rule Of the Serb
ians. It would be quite In accordance
with its traditions If it should now de-
eide to add oppression Of the Catholic
Church to oppression Of subject peoples
Moreover, the bill affords the Serbian
majority an opportunity Of irritating
the italian people by insulting His Holi-
ness the Pope, on the grounds Of his
italian nationality. That may be Q
rather dangerous game for Yugoslavia
to play. There are. already enough
points Of controversy between the two
countries to endanger the peace Of Eu-
rope.

Panama Troubled
BY Extradition Case.

Diario de Panama, Panama.-The re-
ply OF the American Department Of
State to the request for extradition
made by the government Of Panama in
the case OF two Yankee citi1entS sus-
pected Of having committed crime In
the latter country has rather confirmed
the fears that were anticipated in the
event of the petition being accepted.
In fact, In this matter our republic
seemed to be between two fires. The
affirmative answer means, first, that the
Officers Of the other country the duty
of capturing the alleged delinquents,
who reside in the United States, and Of
returning them for trial.
Such procedure destroys all similar
precedents in cases wherein foreign
offenders have been actually detected in
crimes, yet have managed to escape to
friendly shores. In this instance, II the
charges are not proved in competent
court, then the suspects will have grand
opportunity to claim and exact heavy
damages from us for false arrest. The
culpability will then be on the side OF
the defendant. Panama Is thus left
either to ignore or swallow the hook.
The bait is the pride with which we
recognize and avail ourselves OF the will
tngnesS OF another country to return TO
us its citizens when indicted for wrong
doing within our territory. The con-
cealed hook Is the dismal effect OF such
procedures, assuming that we are not
able clearly to make out case and
verify our charges.
The whole situation is prejudicial
either way. It Is an intolerable situa-
ton to submit weakly to the crafty
evasion Of such subjects, whose guilt is
practically certain, but it Is even harder
to submit to the counter-blasts OF
jealous foreign Intervention when, be-
cause Of our delays and defaults In
taking action, we have given scope and
application to every malicious techni-
cality and trickery Of international
jurisprudence.
The fish that swallows the hook be-
cause Of its voracious appetite well de-
serves its fate. And we shall deserve
ours, too, II we let an egregious vanity
dictate our oOlicies in these regards.

Real Poverty Held
In Spiritual Values,


In Spiritual Values.
= Corriere Della Sera, Milan.-We speak
Of financial rehabilitation and Of q
return to prosperity as If 1t were the
very keynote and essential Of human
life. Our poverty really is not 30 much
in material things Is In spiritual values.
We are finding. and, tragically enough,
we are finding. perhaps too late, that
man truly does not live by bread alone
and that It IL because we have long
lost all sense Of perspective In visualize
ing, first, our duties to ourselves, and,
secondly, our duties to our neighbors,
that Heaven has deserted US, and left
US condignly to our own desires and
devices.
We have had prosperity, we have
had even long periods Of prosperity. or,
rather, what we termed periods Of pros
perity, and yet contemplate not only
our wretched estate, but even the worse
conditions everywhere now prevalent!
