In The

PERENNIAL PLANTS

Plants which live year after year
In the garden are known as. peren-
malls. They include such flowers as
peonies. phloxes, larkspurs. colum-
bines. chesta daisies. coreoposis
and others.
lnasmuch as perennials are ever
popular. whole gardens are often
planned OF one kind. They may be
tucked in beds I'm front of the
shrubbery. or in any place except
when planted hit-and-miss about
the lawn. Where there is space
enough for border planting 1t
may be formal or informal Tn"
plants may be set in definite rib
bon like bankws or placed in ma
tural clumps. Generally the latter
method is to be preferred unless
you are planning a prim garden OF
geometrical form on large estate.
Assuming that sufficient space is
available. 1t is interesting to have
TWO DOruers separated Dy grass
gravel or stone walk. For the
greatest satisfaction the border
planting should first be planned OH
paper so as to place the plants
properly with reference to their
RESPECTIVE heights. The tall plants
should be at the back OF the border.
the dwarf edging ones in front and
those OF medium height tucked in
between the two extremes. Never
theless, this rule should not be fol-
lowed too strictly. as the result
will sometimes give a border which
Is too monotonous Good effects are
obtained in many cases by allowing
bold clumps of tall plants to come
10 the front OF the border.

DISTRICT BILLS
UP IN HOUSE
MONDAY
Unexpended 3 Millions and
"Hidden Bars" Due Action;
Fight Over Lump Sum

District legislation, including
two important bills, will be consid-
cred Monday when the House pro-
ceeds on District Day. One is the
bill authorizing the District to use
the unexpended $3,O00,00o balance
of a $10,750,0OO PWA fund previ:
ously authorized, for construction
of a small court building.
AS the Senate has passed this
bill, it merely needs House and
Presidential approval to become
law and permit construction.
The second important measure
to be taken up is the Dirksen
bill to force elimination of hid.
den bars" The author expects
some fight as hotels and other
establishments have protested
that open bars would not be in
keeping with some of their rooms.
Make 1t Permissive
It has been suggested that in
stead of making the open bar
mandatory, the bill should be
modified so as to make it per-
missive.
Conferees on the District appro-
priation bill were to meet today at
2 p. m. to thrash out the differ
ences between House and Senate
amendmnts.
Controversy Expected
Bitter controversy over the
action of the Senate in raising
the $5,700,00O lump sum proposed
by the House and Budget Blu
reau to $8,30O,OOO is certain.
Fights over money to pay the
salaries of al additional police
men and a huge school building
program proposed by the Senate
is expected.
President Roosevelt has focused
attention on two items in the bill
which are believed certain Of
agreement. They are 100000 for
elimination of a grade crossing
at Michigan Avenue and $780,
900 written into the bill by the
Senate to build a viaduct over
B. and o. tracks in line with
Franklin Street. Favorable action
on these two proposals will wipe
out all the grade crossings in
the District.

NRA ASSA|LED
IN BROOK|NGS
ANALYSIS
Report Is in Direct Conflict
With Johnson'S Views
Given Senate Group
International News Service


Two directly conflicting analyses
of MIRA faced Senate Finance
Committee members today as they
met behind closed doors to begin
framing q measure for extension
of the recovery units life.
One was a carefully studied con-
clusion of the BrookingS 1nstitu-
ton that the Blue Eagles activ.
tiles have substantially retarded
economic recovery.
The other was a blunt and
fiery survey by former NRA head,
Gen. Hugh S. johnson, predicting
chaos if the eagle is killed.
Leon C. Marshall, a member Of
the recovery )oard, was among
those who signed the Bookings
report. Others who signed have
been closely associated with the
recovery set-up, including Lev
erett S. Lyon, economist and for
mer dean of Washington Univer-
sity's School of Finance and Com
merce, and former Assistant NRA
Administrator Lewis L. LorW1n.
Codes Raised Wages
Wages we're raised by the codes,
the Brookings report conceded,
but when these benefits were
spread through the country and
averaged against increased living
costs attributable to the program,
the two virtually cancelled.
The Brookings report held that
the power of industrial groups
has been vastly increased under
NRA.
Further, trade practice pro-
visions have been a hindrance to
recovery rather than a stimulus,
said the Brookings study. New
jobs from the recovery unit
totalled 1,75O,OO0, said the report,
but this has been accomplished by
a spreading of work rather than
by increasing the total amount Of
work. The report said:
at is our view that the NRA
has had the effect of restricting
production below the levels it
otherwise would have attained,
hence, that it has reduced the
total amount of employment.
CALL IT MISTAKE
"Not only did the program
fail to work out as planned, but
the plan itself was, in our judg-
ment, a mistake"
Conditions during the depres
sion were not propitious for a siz
able expansion of wages at the ex
pense Of profits, the professors
held. The codes provoked no last
ing expansion of the credit of the
nation within, and did not put idle
money to work, the report said
as money is still lying idle.
The Brookings experts said
freezing of the wage structure
above certain limit had a tend
ency to freeze the price structure
of the nation. Such a tendency,
they went on, cannot but eventual
ly work injury to the consumer
the manufacturer and the retailer
The Brookings report and the
johnson testimony were the last
two pieces of evidence laid before
the Finance Committee as it pre-
pared to begin the work of draft

Administration to keep Georgia
from getting its share of the 1890

refusing to retract his reflections
on President Roosevelt which yes
terday caused a sensation.
The governor, replying to the
threat of Secretary Ickes and Re-
lief Administrator Hopkins tc
withhold PWA and relief monies
from Georgia unless the State
cooperates, said:
81 have no fear that Georgia
will not get its part of the

"This money is a loan and

"Under the restrictions Of

posed by the Government on
the use of this money, it is
the most expensive money we
can get.

cause, if they do, they will
have to pay it back twice."
