The Home Gardener
Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for
Beautfying Surroundings of the Home.
BY J. w. WELLINGTON.

and the soft rot cleared away with
the finger tips, following which
liberal application of copper carbo-
nate should be made to the plant and
adjacent soil. Even such a crude
method as simply throwing a hand
full of copper carbonate on the in
fected rhizome was found to give
good results. Copper carbonate is
said to be reasonable in cost, nom
toxic to plant and the gardener and,
above all, effective.
The chemical is sold in garden
supply stores under proprietary
names and it would seem likely that
it should be available at drug stores
under its real name. 1naSmuch as
the original report was published in
a bulletin Of the American Iris So
ciety. the copper carbonate treatment
has evidently gone beyond the expert
mental stage and is worthy OF eX-
tended trial by local iris growers.
Dropping Rose Leaves.
IT IS not the onset of Winter that
is causing rose plants to lose so
much foliage at this time. but rather
the onset of black spot which has
reached almost epidemic stage due to
the rainy weather. Even the grower
who knows how to combat this in
sidious disease has not been altogether
successful. Dusts are not effective
during periods of heavy rains because
they wash off so quickly. Probably
the best remedy of all would be a
thorough spraying with bordeaux mix
ture. paying particular attention to the
lower leaves. Bordeaux spray sticks
to the foliage if applied when the
leaves are dry and, as the active agent
is copper, it is peculiarly effective in
checking black spot and other leaf
infections.
The question may well be raised as
to whether it is worth while to protect
rose foliage at this late season. The

OHIO
BANK ROBBED
BY D|LL|NGER

CHICAGO, May 4. U.P)-An army
of 10000 police and federal agents
swarmed over roads leading from
northern Ohio and Indiana today as
the result of Identification of hunt
ed John Dillinger as one of two
bandits who robbed a Fostoria, O.,
bank of $4,000 and kidnapped two
bank employees.
Diverted from the concentrated
search which swept through Chi
cago gang haunts after discovery
here of a blood-soaked automobile
stolen by Dillinger gangsters near
st. Paul, the man-hunters bent
every effort toward jntercepting the
outlaw leader is he doubles back
to Chicago from the scene of the
latest crime attributed to him.
Ralph Barbour, assistant cashier
of the robbed First National bank
was positive in identifying the lead
er of the two bands as Dillinger.
1T was him, without any ques-
tion," Barbour said, "only he wore
no mustache."
Miss Ruth Harris, bookkeeper
who was used by the bandits as a
living shield against bullets of a
posse and police, also believed one
of her captors was the much-want-
ed outlaw.
Ohio and Indiana police were
modified by radio to blockade roads
after the bandits shot their way
past police who attempted to lock
them in the bank. Chief of Police
Frank p Culp, SO, was wounded
critically in the battle. More than
100 shots were exchanged.
Fleeing from the bank through
store opening off the lobby, the
bandits held Miss Harris and Will
liam G. Daub, assistant cashier, in
front Of them as shields. Daub was
forced to carry a bag of bonds and
currency snatched from tills.
Federal agents leading the search
for Dillinger here did not aban-
don belief that the outlaw may
be hiding on Chicago's south side
nursing three serious bullet wounds
although they concentrated theil
efforts toward preventing his re-
entry to the city if he participated

LOS ANGELES, May 4. U.P) -
Walter G.. McCracken, of Santa

nection with an alleged attempt to
extort $4,000 from the California

BANKERS ASK PUBLIC TO BE FAIR
IN JUDGING AFFAIRS OF INDUSTRY

nation. Here in California the av-
erage banker was and is a valuable
citizen. During the past few years
he has struggled against great odds
to bring his institution safely
through the worlds greatest de-
preston. He has been carrying a
heavy load in the no easy task of
fulfilling the many obligations to
his depositors, borrowers, and
stockholders.
Bankers, like any other business
men make mistakes in Judgment
honest ones arising from unforeseen
conditions over which they have no
control.
1t is only by intelligent coopera-
ton and working together that we
will get any place in this present
situation. No one man has at his
command the financial and mental
resources to meet it.
1t must now be the leadership of
groups as opposed to past leadership
of individuals. The banking group
is one of the most influential. How
ever, banks can not do everything.
They can only work in cooperation
with business to stabilize the fun
damental factors in our business
life.
Our banking system is freer today
from fear than it ever was. 1t seems
that the popular pastime Of taking
"pokes" at our banks has just about
worn itself out. We do not feel that
the banker who deals honestly, con-
siderately, and conservatively with
his customers and his community
deserves any share of the condem-
nation incurred by the compare
lively few unfaithful ones.
1t is unfair that failures and mis-
deeds Of some high-placed bankers
should distract attention of the
public from the fine records of
many honorably administered banks
that have gone along dealing fair
ly with customers, stockholders, and
their resident communities.
The peril of prolonged depression
is apparently past, but the problems
of business readjuStment have not
all been solved. The banker is i'm
portant in the recovery picture.
Let's be fair.

Dismiss Appeal
Made By Johnson

An appeal made by Ray D. john
son against the Judgment of the
superior court denying motion for
a new trial in the alien land law
action here last fall has been dis
missed by the district court of ap-
peals, fourth appellate district, &C
cording to a remittitur received at
the court house this morning.
Johnson was one of the defen-
dants in this action found guilty of
conspiracy to violate the state alien
land law, by a jury in Judge Nc
Pherrin's department of superior
court on October 81 after a trial
which lasted nearly month. He
was fined $25O0 in each case but
execution of the sentence was sus-
pended and probation granted by
the court for Is months on Novem-
ber 2. On November 4 through his
attorney G. B. Smith he filed his
appeal against the order denying
the motion for a new trial which
had been acted upon by the local
court before sentence was pro-

BrauUley Hall

BY virtue of a lease which was
entered into last Saturday, Azteca
hall in Brawley will no longer be
available for meetings of agitators
of any description, it was learned
here today. This hall, located in
the Mexican section of Brawley, has
come into prominence this year
because of the meeting held there
by strikers and others during the
recent lettuce and pea harvesting
disturbances in the county.
A copy of this lease is attached
to the door of Azteca hall and ac-
cording to its terms the building
in future will be closed to all meet
ings OF the American Civil Liberties
Union, the Cannery and Agricul-
tural Workers Industrial Union, the
Trade Unions Unity League and all
communistically inclined organiza-
tions. 1t will, however, be avail
able for use by Mexican or other
groups which uphold the laws of
the United States and the state of
California for meetings.

shall not The Judge Of all the

Genesis is the golden text in the
lesson-sermon on Everlasting Pun
ishment" on Sunday in all branches
of The Mother Church, The First
Church Of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton, Mass.
One of the Scriptural selections
il the lesson-sermon includes the
verses from The Acts: And Ananias

house; and putting his hands on
him said, Brother Saul, the Lord
even Jesus, that appeared unto thee
in the way as thou camest, hath
sent me, that thou mightest re-
ceive thy sight, and be filled with
the Holy Ghost. And Immediately
there fell from his eyes as it had
been scales: and he received sight
forthwith, and arose, and was bap-
tized"
Among the passages from Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
are the statements: Saul of Tarsu,
beheld the way-the Christ, OF
truth-only when his uncertain
sense of right yielded to a spiritual
sense, which is always right. Then
the man was changed. Thought as
sumed a nobler outlook, and his
life became more spiritual. He
learned the wrong that he had
done in prosecuting Christians
whose religion he had not under
stood, and in humility he took the
new name of Paul"

MASONIC LODGES ASKED TO AID

Believing that members of Ma

homes for children and for the aged
be jeopardized because of economic
conditions, the Grand Lodge of Cal
l1ornla Is announcing that May has
Ibeen designated Masonic Homes En-
doWment month.
While w. P. Jeffries, chairman of
fthe Masonic Homes Endowment
)board declares that the committee
/ is not viewing with alarm, or
| placing unnecessary emphasis on
|the financial situation, he never

Itermined effort worthy of the Or
lganization must be made in order

Masonic relief agencies.
In common with most activities,
THE expenses at the home for the

costs. 1t becomes necessary to arouse
the consciousness of every member

during this May drive, and the first
appeal is directed toward voluntary
contribution of minimum of two
dollars per member. 1t is hoped and
Expected that every Mason will make

or $100-whateyer it may be, the
committee said

To PURCHASE
ARMY PLANES

WASHINGTON, May 4. U.P -
Bids for the purchase of approx
mately ITO new planes for the army
air corps will be asked for within
the next few days, the war depart
ment announced today.
The airplanes will be purchased
with the $7,500,000 allotted to the
air corps from the public works
funds. Bids were asked and submit
ted last January but were rejected
by the comptroller general on the
grounds that there had not been
sufficient competition.
The chief of air corps will issue
invitations for bids on approximate
ly 80 bombing planes within the
next day or two, the announcement
said, and soon thereafter invitations
will be issued for bids on approx
mately 30 attack planes. This will
complete the air corps purchases
under the allotment.
Between now and July 1, the an
nouncement said, additional bids
will be advertised for airplanes to
be purchased with funds recently
appropriated for the 1885 fiscal
year, and also for the 1886 fiscal
year.
The reason for issuing the invi-
tations now for the 1886 purchases
is to give manufacturers ample time
to meet specifications of the planes
to be required, it was stated. The
bids for the 1896 purchases will not
be opened until the spring of 1885.
The number of planes to be pur-
chased under that program has not
been definitely decided.

The following is an excerpt from
the annual report of the joint legis-
lative committee on banks. and in
vestment trusts of the New York
state legislature, which, together
with a statement on California
banking, is presented by j. F.. Sui
livan, Jr., of the public relations
committee of the California Bank
ers association.
There has been a tendency of
late to decry and degrade banks,
bank officers, and directors. Bank
officers and directors have been in
vestigated, regulated, restricted and
supervised to such an extent that
they are generally regarded as no
longer having any respectability or
integrity. Some bankers, and some
in the highest places, who thereby
had higher degree of trust i'm
posed upon them, have grossly be-
trayed that trust and thus brought
disfavor upon the entire business.
These lapses are the ones that are
bruited about and form the basis for
an unjustified public opinion.
"One does not ordinarily hear of
the men who have impoverished
themselves and their families and
mortgaged their futures to save
their banks. In this state, the COM
mittee feels that the bankers. par
ticularly those in the upstate Sec
tions, have displayed a spirit of
self-sacrifice and devotion that is
most enheartening.
ut is such things as these that
warrant the return of public con-
fidence in our banking institutions" :"
