LIQUOR IN TAK0MA
STUDIED BY A. BE.
Conflicting Briefs Sent to
Board in Regard to Four
Applications.

To settle the issue as to whether
Takoma, D. c., shall be kept a dry
area. the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board now has before it written argu-
ments on the two sides of the question,
briefs in conflict not only as to the
inferences to be drawn from facts
presented to the board. but as to the
facts themselves.
The board has before 1t applications
for two tavern licenses, an off sale
liquor license in a drug store and an
off-sale beer license. The petitioners
Tor the licenses and those opposed
have both made canvasses on the sub
ject OF community sentiment, and the
conflict starts off with a statement
by the petitioners that they secured
about the same number" of sigma
lures as the remonstrants, using only
one-third of the circulators and one
half OF the time taken by the remon-
strants. The remonstrants claim a
vote OF 3-to-l against the issuance
OF the liquor license to the drug store,
or, at any rate, not less than 2 to /.
vote against the tavern licenses of
to or not less than 8 to l, and
That the vote went against the off,
sale beer license by clear prepon-
derance."
"Trickery" Is Charged
There are also charges and counter
charges of "trickery" and sharp prac-
tices generally in securing the sigma
lures. The remonstrantS' brief says
that the petition in favor of the tav-
ern licenses is reminiscent of the
old bar room days. when all comers at
the bar would sign a petition LETT on
the bar for the purpose, because it
contains many signers far removed
from Takoma Park, D. c., notably
1890 l. street and 81 w street in
Washington and Woodburn, Va"
There is also clash as 10 other
signers Of the petitions. the applicants
claiming that some of the remon-
strants signed under misap-
prehension," and the remonstrants
Conceding that so Of the origi-
nal signers of the community petition
against sale of any liquor, including,
as they say. the mother of counsel
for the applicants" should be de-
Quoted because they claimed mis-
apprehension"
The "trickery" charge was hurled by

harden into wood. As result. Win
ter injury follows and the plant may
be badly injured. Nitrogen fertilizers.
such as sulphate of ammonia and
nitrate of soda. are particularly to be
avoided in late Fall.
However, lettuce, radishes and
other leafy or succulent vegetables
NAV be pushed ahead by these nitro
gen fertilizers. Too. if one is plant
ing peonieS, tulips, narcissuS, shrubs
and trees, it is advisable to supply plant
food of a slowly available type, such
as bone meal or shredded COW manure
so that the plants may have supply
ready at hand when growth begins
in early Spring. A handful or two of
bone meal or shredded manure placed
beneath a newly set peony root. but
not in contact with it, will be bene-
fetal for several seasons.
A planting of Winter rye in the
garden will take up some of the un-
used nitrogen and hold it for next
years garden. In addition, the rye
will prevent surface erosion.
More Garden Books.
WINTER is the season for looking
over new garden books and there
appears to be an unusual number
awaiting the reader. Some are in
structive and others simply deal with
generalities. garden history and the
like Among recent books are The
First Plant Patents" r. S. Allyn;
Color in the Garden M. E. Stebbing,
and The Care and Repair of Orna-
mental Trees in Garden. Park and
Street" A D. c. LIE Sueur.
The first of these is peculiarly in
teresting because it not only discusses
the plant patent laws but also de-
scribes the roses, dahlias and other
plants that have been registered since
the law went into effect. The other
two are English books, but contain
suggestions that are of value to local
gardeners. 1t is quite evident that
the European gardener pays great
deal more attention to details than
we do in this country. Each plant and
tree receives individual attention and
| care.

Zinnia Good in Dry Weather.
The rain has raised havoc with zin-
Mas and other ANIMALS. The zinnia Is
a superb dry weather plant, coming as
it does from upland Mexico, where a
dry season is a usual occurrence. Few
plants can endure the downpour OF
rain experienced during September,
and the zinnia deserves no special de-
merits.
Some weeks past the unusual Au-
tumn Towering of shrubs, such as
SNOWFALL and Pauls Scarlet rose, was
mentioned in this column. Sunday,
in an American University Park gar
den. mock orange and torsythia were
observed in partial bloom. Whether
this delayed blooming is an aftermath
of the cold Winter or some freak OF
this Summer is not clear but there
appears an extra amount Of this un-
timely blossoming this year. AT the
same time. one hears some adverse
comment about the new roses which
are supposed to bloom twice year
but have failed TO do so.
The Garden Clubs.
WITH three of the leading garden
w specialists of this section. namely
David Lumsden, DR.. J. B. Norton andd
Miss Margaret Lancaster, as judges,
the Dahlia Show sponsored by Boil
piano's Seed Store in September took
on a real home garden atmosphere
Several of the winners are we'll known
in local garden club activities. Mrs.
John L. Bishop of the Woodbridge Gar
den Club won first prize in the deco
rative dahlia class. Mrs. M. H. Suit
ton of the same club was also an i'm
portant winner. Mrs. M. B. Payne.
past president of the National Capital
Dahlia and Iris Society won awards
in the decorative and cactus fowered
/ classes. The show was very success
full and the sponsors plan to make the
event a regular annual feature.

Ocotber 13 there will be an evening
roundup during which prize winners
will be announced. This citizens as
sociation probably has established a
record for a sustained campaign to
improve the appearance of homes
within its area. The year 1884 is the
sixth successive season that garden
judging contests have been conducted
in this enterprising community.
The Takoma Horticultural Club
taking a chance with frost, has set
the date Of its dahlia show as October
10 and II. The Takoma, Nd, Volun-
teer Fire Department hall has been
secured for the display, which Is In
charge of H. C. Heffner. general
chairman for the event. Music will
be provided. promising an interesting
event to which the public is invited
without charge. A leading commercial
grower from New Jersey has agreed
to enter a stable non-c competitive
exhibit of the newest varieties of
dahlias. There will be no exhibit by
the National Capital Dahlia and Iris
Society this Fall and the Takoma
show will be the only real opportunity
to see this gorgeous Autumn species
this year.

- UBURBAN gardeners with avail
able space miss a golden oppor-
tunity to build up their soil
~ when they deliberately burn the
large quantities of leaves that
are soon to fall from the oaks, naples
and other deciduous trees. very
considerable quantity of potentially
valuable nutrients are separated from
the tree when the leaves drop.
In the forest this vegetation is, OF
course, only temporarily lost and be-
comes available again upon decay.
Hence the forest improves in fertility
while the open areas where the leaves
blow away or are purposely burned
continually lose.
Naturally, the home owner does not
care to have the leaves littering his
lawn and blowing about all Winter
long. The logical treatment is to
build an incloSure with temporary
metal posts and poultry fencing and
to place the leaves in this pen as they
are collected.
Bulletin Describes Action.
Some years ago the Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station published
q bulletin, No. 258, on the preparation
OF artificial manure on the farm. In
this case, straw was used as the bulk
material. Leaves are. however. much
the same in nature and equally sus-
ceptible of treatment. Using the rec
concentrations in the above bulletin,
there would be added for each 100
pounds of leaves 712 pounds OF mix
ture made up of NJ pounds of sui
phate of ammonia, pounds of ground
limestone and Ia pounds of super
phosphate. This material should be
scattered among the leaves. If ground
limestone is difficult to secure, two
pounds of hydrated lime may be sub
stituted for the four of ground stone.
If such a pile is kept moist by
