GLADIOLUS PLANTING

A we'll known gladio;us grower. writ
ing in the April number of the Gladio-
lus Review, recommends the treatment
of all bulbs prior to planting with cor
rosive sublimate solution. or one OF the
commercial organic mercury prepara-
tions, as a precautionary measure
against thrips and diseases. Corrosive
Sublimate is used at the dilution OF
l part per 1000 of water. The bulbs
should be immersed for two hours and
planted while still moist. This ma
terial is extremely poisonous and must
be kept from children and animals.
1t should be mixed in glass or wooden
containers, as it is highly corrosive to
any of the metals. Such treatment is
inexpensive for small lots and may
easily save a lot of disappointment
later
With respect to spacing of gladiolus
bulbs, the writer suggests that large
bulbs be planted no closer than SIX
inches and that eight to II inches is
none too far apart if space is available,
as roots may be found nearly two feet
rom the bulb. AS to depth, six inches

bulbs set this depth do not suffer so
intensely from Summer droughts and,
furthermore, require no support. AT

With the bulb. 1t is pointed out that

GIRL WANTS BERLIN
TO APPRAISE DANCE
Goes Where Critics Are Frank and

BERLIN (P.-Chama Hubert of
Brooklyn, N. Y, has come to Berlin
to dance before critics known through
out the artistic world as among the
severest to be found
Il was perfectly aware what I was
up against when, under the auspices
of the American Women's Club of
Berlin, I made my European debut
in the German capital" Miss hubert
says. But that's just what tempted
me to come from America. In no
other city of the world are the crit
les and the public as outspoken as
here. I'm naturally happy that I was
we'll received the first time
Berlin critics and Berlin audiences
are very positive" Miss Hubert says,
"Either they approve of you or they de-
nounce you. There's no middle of
the-road attitude. Even a world
famed artist such as Mary Wigman is
irreverently pounced upon by critic
If he doesn't like her Interpretation.
Il find the Berlin atmosphere most
exhilarating to an artist. Everybody
is tremendously in earnest about his
art, and everybody who goes in for art
professionally aims only at the very
highest pinnacles.
Il intend to stay a few months
more, giving programs in various Ger
man cities, and then return to Amer
lea to show what the stay abroad has
done for me-"

Miss Brico, who will conduct the

seems to rank with the well known feat
OF the camel and the needles eye.
The greatest difficulty is convincing
people I am serious" declares Miss
Brico. Managers, the public, the men
OF the orchestra all are skeptical when
a woman asks to conduct. They are
afraid I'll faint in the middle of the

H FRANCIS STAN

PHILADELPHIA JACK O'BRUN
pops up with q bright idea which
probably won't be relished by the
gents In the peanut gallery who rave
about the guy who "can take 1t" and
sneer q few years later when the same
guy Is cutting out paper dolls and
shadow boxing on the street.
Philadelphia Jacks idea Is to have
boxers wear helmets somewhat similar
to those used in training for bouts.
O'Brien has seen too many flstic heroes
Of q few years ago punchdrunk or
blind.
Jacks reasons appear logical
and and not . whit detFacting
from the sport or the kayo.
He points out that the human skull
Is thinnest at the temples and that
blows landed there, even though they
do not produce knockouts, cause small
conclusions of the brain. Enough Of
these conclusions and the result Is
another punchdrunk wreck. washed up
for life.
Deep cuts over the eyes, as often as
not caused by butting, often have served
to cause partial or total blindness. The
rabbit" punch, Illegal but overlooked,
causes paralysis.
So, reasons O'Brien, why not have
boxers wear helmets to protect from
the shock Of punches to the temple,
over the eyes and to the base Of the
brain?
Philadelphia Jack hastens to add
that instead Of making the game less
attractive to blood thirsty fans It will
make it more so.
The use of the helmet ipould
not reduce materially the chances
of knockouts, for most OF them
are delipered either to the j1D
or the body.
The best part Of 1t Is that it virtually
would eliminate the technical knockout
because Of cut eyes. Often q certain
winner loses this way because Of an
eye cut. Nobody gains but the rival
f1ghter-certainly not the gents who lay
it on the line for seats.
ER. GOLDIELOCKS AHEARN hop
wi ped on a new job last night
which is going to draw plenty Of
howls from the resin fraternity. But
Goldie has his answers ready and, II
delivered, may cause some Of the pro-
motorial gents hereabouts to blush.
Goldie has been selected ~ OIL
cial referee of the new arena
across the Potomac In Alexandria.
It happens Goldie manages a couple
of fighters. too. And, Furthermore, one
of the cauliflowered clan under the
Ahearn management-Petey Bevans, by
name-fghts on the same card Goldie
will referee.
Anyway it hasn't reached the point
yet where two Of the referees or pro-
moter's fighters clash. But the Blue
Eagle may get the boys If they don't
watch out. Holding all them jobs
tsk, tsk.
