dark times and bright she has borne
perhaps more than her share of the bur-
dens which the Nation puts upon Chief
Executives and Chief Justices.
Yet those who know Mrs. Taft are
aware of her talent for avoidance of
publicity, for disclaiming celebrity. She
has preferred the simple status of wife
and a mother to the turmoil of politics
and controversy. The form Of service
she has chosen has been that of living
her convictions and ideals. Thus she
earned the gratitude of Mr.. Taft, her
children and her friends, if not the con-
scious appreciation of the masses.
Her tour of the court possibly was
saddening experience, but she certainly
must have felt some sense of honorable
pride in its nobility. Indeed, she would
have the peoples pardon if she thought
of the great Federal temple of law as
a monument, in part at least. to its
sponsor. 1t might not be what it is
had he been other than he was. And
Mrs. Taft, it is abundantly indicated,
deserves credit for much Of all his
achievement.

tiny flames have been quenched and the
police are waving their arms and turning
back the newcomers and dismissing the
crowd.
Is that waste of effort? In one sense
it is. There might have been a more
proportionate requisition, with less cost
in gasoline for the motors and wear and
tear on the machines and interruption
CT traffic But suppose the fire had been
a very small one in building, capable
of being extinguished by a single bucket
of water placed at the right spot and
still. alarm were given and only single
puniper summoned, or cart with a
hand extinguisher. That might not work
out at all we'll. Fires have way Of
spreading swiftly, faster even than a
speeding piece of apparatus.
If the matter were left to the judg-
ment of the chance person who first
sees the signs of fire there would be
the swift stamping out or quenching Of
a trifiing blaze, whatever the surround
ings. is the first rule of safety. So let
the bumpers and the hose carts and the
trucks and the towers continue to re-
spond to the alarms, be the blazes large
or small, confined or in the open, and
the city will be best protected, even
though there may be some lost molten
and waste of fuel and choking of traffic
when there is no real need.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Instead of looking messy. as some
plants do which so lean over their right
full boundaries, marigolds have pictur-
esque way Of doing it.
They arc like certain humans, who,
despite plain faults, charm others simply
by their existence.
The famous at" of the vernacular has
been given altogether too much credit,
it will seem. Many persons. OF both
sexes, possess the ability to give happi-
ness to others simply through their
presence.
Usually these persons are super
| healthy, and no doubt the rebound OF
| their health is beauty to others.
Call it personal magnetism, or what
| one will, it is definite factor.
Among flowers the humble marigold
| has this floral appeal. 1t has fine
| name, to begin with, and then its leaves
and blossoms come to add to its charm.
We shall say nothing of it's odor; still,
| there are many gardeners who admire it,
and in recent years ambitious culturiSts
| have managed to take some of the
smell out of them, SO that their odor
| is more like the spice of the chrysanthe-
| mum.
.. Autumn sees work for the owner of
garden pool.
If the water is not at least two feet
deep, preferably 80 inches or more. it is
best to remove the goldfish to indoor
| tanks, or even to tubs in the basement.
1t must be kept in mind that there is
distinct shock to the animals in chang
| ing them from the outdoors to indoors,
mostly because they must go into vastly
smaller quarters. After they have been
used to plenty Of oxygen, gained mainly
because they have had many gallons of
water per fish. they are plunged into
container in which they may not enjoy
| two quarts of water per fish.
| Great care should be taken in bringing
| fish indoors. The water in which they
are placed must be of exactly the same
temperature as that from which they
| came. 1t is we'll not to feed them for
several days, and thereafter only small
amounts, if the feeding is done daily.
| Many persons advocate feeding during
Winter 1--WE speak of goldfish only every
| other day, or even twice a week
| A fish. like human, has great deal
more trouble accepting worse conditions
than better environment. Fishes taken
verltably take TO it like duck TO water"
but when the journey is the other way
around they may not react well.
If the pool is deep enough to Winter
the fish in, at least the dead leaves
should be removed, as the products dis
titled out of them by immersion are
inimical to fish life. One local enthusiast
solved the problem by building frame
work like a peaked roof, covered with
| small chicken wire. This caught almost
all the leaves. and still gave the fishes
plenty of sunshine and air.
Especially a new pool should go into
the cold season clean and free from dead
and decaying matter. 1t is a good plan
to give this care twice year. at least.
early Spring and late Fall. But do not
| take large specimens of goldfish into the
home; the smaller those removed to the
aquarium the better chance they will
have to be happy there.

A mild Autumn has brought the true
bridal wreath in bloom again.
Not as profuSely, Of course, as its early
Spring blossoming, but plenty of little
white flowers on all branches.
A truly delightful sight to the garden
ing mind and heart, of which and whom
no doubt this city boasts as many as any
metropolis in the world.
From the possessor of the large estate
| to the owner of a small window box, this
has been a picturesque and particularly
interesting Fall for all.
Many Towering things have burst into
| some bloom.
Faithful marigolds have "bloomed their
heads off"
Ageratum Is just begun to get into its
| stride. The near-drought of late Sum-
| mer held it back considerably.
Although it is a lowly plant, its leaves
are beautiful, and its fine small blue
| flowers very fine.
AS with so many plants. the best blos-
SONS come on weakly stalks.
That Is why Withered, Ill appearing
| plants, especially with ageratum and
| petunia, ought not to be discarded.
II any must be thrown or given away,
| let it be the luxurious plant with too
| many leaves.
This is not always realized, especially
| by the beginning gardener with the re-
suit that borders are mainly leaves.
1t seems that many plants cannot de-
velop both flowers and leaves largely, but
| must do one or the other. If a plant
runs to leaves, as the saying is, it is not
| likely to flower as profuSely as other and
| less developed specimens.
X
Autumn is sort of gambling season.
1t may or may not be as interesting a
time as the average garden presents.
This is well TO keep in mind. because
many amateurs make a mistake, some
| seasons. of pulling up and destroying an
nual plants, especially while they still
| have weeks to run.
Failure to cut off the flowers of certain
| things, such as the faithful feverfew, will
| lead to lack of a secondary blooming at
| this time, whereas if care is taken in this
matter many fine flowers will be pre-
sented to the enthusiast long past the
usual expectation.
The common feverfew is one of the
! finer garden specimens. Its blooming
during the Summer Is really very spec
! tacular, if the. gardener has an eye to
| the beauty of common effects.
The flowers bloom long time They
present their quiet lovelness day after
| day. but that is not all.
If the faded flowers are removed. and
| the stalks cut back somewhat, and the
| plants watered from time to time. they
bloom again, provided the weather is
mild.
This is really worth looking forward to
and enjoying when the flowers come out
| again.
One cannot say too much for the
| faithful marigoldS, either
Their fine foliage and bright blossoms
| prevent many an otherwise bare border
| from looking through for the year.
The verb TO sprawl" is not usually
considered elegant. but somehow there is
a real elegancy in the way this simple
plant Sprawls over the borders into the
grass.

She Also Has Served.

Mrs. William Howard Taft on Monday
last inspected the new Supreme Court
Building She visited the magnificent
ediflce as private citizen, but her pill
grimage merits mention in the history
OF the place. AS the wife of the man
who first conceived it, she knows its story
as few other persons do. The plans for
1t were discussed in her presence and she
is familiar with each of the long sequence
of steps which necessarily had to be
taken, one by one, before the project
could be brought to completion. So it
may be said that she has been spec
tator of a dream made real, a majestic
and beautiful hope fulfilled.
But Mrs. Taft, it likewise should be
realized, has been more than bystander
in the American scene these past four
decades. Born Helen Heron of Cincin-
natl, she was educated for some such
position as that which she has occupied.
Natural gifts of intelligence, sympathy
and gentle grace equipped her to employ
her advantages of fortune for the well
fare of her country in quiet but dis
tinctive ways. Few of her contempo-
raries have been more unobtrusively or
more effectively helpful. Her career may
be overshadowed by that of her eminent
husband-and she certainly has desired
that it might be-but it has been one of
useful dedication just the Fme. Through

With W. P. A. jobs still 1000, 900 short OF

sons to work will be set ahead from De-

President Roosevelt'S determination to

Peace Talk,

While heavy rains hold up the italian
advance across Northern Ethiopia in
the drive for decisive" victory at the
caravan junction of Makale, peace talks
have been resumed in Rome. They con-
Germ primarily the easing OF tension be-
tween the Fascists and Great Britain.
Mussolini is not only irked by the pres
ence of the undiminished British ar
mada in the Mediterranean, but his
people reveal growing irritation over the
imminence of sanctions, for which
Britain is held chiefly responsible. Anti
British demonstrations in Rome, Milan
and other cities have increased in in
tenSity, as meatless days and other re-
strictions on living standards bring home
to the nation the full significance OF
what economic and financial reprisals
may come to mean.
Taking advantage of the breathing
spell provided by the two weeks before
sanctions become operative, and by the
interval between now and the British
elections on November IA, diplomacy
seeks to exhaust every peace possibility
before either OF those events comes 10
pass. Current negotiations aim at
trade whereby if Italy denudes Libya
of troops which menace Egypt Britain
would withdraw certains naval units
from Mediterranean waters. Recent de-
tachment of a mere division from Libya
failed to impress the British, who, to
Romes indignation. moved no single ship
from their life line" to the East. Lon
don is said to demand that at least
thirty thousand Fascist soldiers be re-
moved from Libya.
Local political considerations enter
prominently into the Anglo-1talian peace
discussion. Mussolini considers it a
matter of prestige not to make conces-
sions on the eve of sanctions lest he be
suspected of yielding to international
pressure. The British government cam
not afford to appear too conciliatory just
before the parliamentary elections.
Military experts are convinced that not
only the specter of strangulation at
home, but the rough going the Italian
forces are experiencing in Africa tends
to make Rome peace minded. The Fascist
army invaded Ethiopia little more than
a month ago. Tigre Province is occupied,
including points of psychological i'm
portance like Aduwa Adigrat and Ak
sum, but even when Makale is taken II
Duce's banners will have been advanced
only some seventy-five miles in five
weeks.
At that rate, it is estimated, the
Italians would require five months more
to reach Adds Ababa, with every inch
Of the way calling for greater effort, to
say nothing of the sterner resistance to
be expected as the capital is approached.
AS yet, II Duce's intrepid bearers of civ
ilization have had nowhere any real
fighting.
From every standpoint Italy has reason
to crave peace before her economic sub
stance is strained to the point of ex-
haustion and her armies subjected to
tropical trials of which they have so far
had only the merest taste.

Much CRY, Little Fire.

A screaming siren scatters the crowd
as fire engine darts out of its house,
followed by other pieces of apparatus.
Soon the streets are echoing with the
sounds of speeding bumpers and hose
carts and rescue squad wagons, and later
comes a truck or two and water tower.
The traffic policemen at the corners wave
emergency signals to the motorists and
the street car operators. The way is
cleared and the daShing apparatus con-
verges upon the scene of the alarm that
has brought it forth. What is it? Some
thing big afire? A store, maybe, or per-
haps a Government building. Whatever
it is the crowd begins to gather. And
then the cause is to be seen, while the
bumpers and hose carts and other pieces
of fire-fghting mechanism continue to
clatter up and round into position. 1t
is a street car loading platform, which
is smoking rather lively. Somebody had
dropped a lighted match or a smolder-
ing cigarette into crack of the plat
form and it had ignited the trash be-
meath or the wood. A cup of water
would put it out if it could be directly
applied. But the one who saw the smoke
did not have the cup of water, and his
first and proper thought was to send
for help, which could, of course, be sum-
moned by telephone with a description
of the fire so that still alarm" would
be sounded and only one unit would re-
spond But who would be likely to meas
ure the means of extinguishment neces-
sary so accurately when the air was
reeking with smoke? 1t is not human
nature so to do. SO the alarm has been
rung and an entire division assemblies.

G.. O. p. Victories.

". W. L NlCtoI u.s.
The political pendulum has swung
away from the Roosevelt New Deal In
the elections of 1885. How far the swing
and how effective will be reckoned
according to the political views OF the
estimators. The elections in this OIL
wear were sparse. Great stretches OF
the country were not represented in the
balloting at all Republican gains were
registered, however, in most OF the terri
tory where the voters went to the polls.
In New York the G. O. P. wrested con-
troll of the Assembly from the Demo-
Gratis. In Philadelphia and in Cleveland
they turned back Democratic threats in
the mayoralty contests. In New Jersey
they increased their hold on the LeglS-
lature. In Massachusetts, the Repub-
licans won in Springfield and in
Worcester. In San Francisco they
reelected Mayor Rossi with a big
increase in plurality
More significance, perhaps, should at
tach to the election of Republican
mavor of Philadelphia than to some OF
the other results of yesterdays contests.
Although the margin of victory, about
47,0O0 votes, is pitifully small when the
great Republican pluralities OF other days
are remembered, the triumph OF the
G. o. P in the City of Brotherly Love
is none the less sweet to Republicans.
For the Democrats had insisted that they
really had a chance to break the fifty
year grip of the Republicans on the city.
Furthermore, in the elections year ago,
the Democrats had carried Pennsylvania,
electing Senator and Governor, in the
big New Deal landslide. The Slide, as
shown by yesterdays results, is now IN
reverse The keystone State, the Re-
publicans now conclude, will be safely
in the Republican column next year.
1t was to be expected that the Repub-
lcans would regain control of the New
York Assembly. Heartening as this par
ticular victory is to the G. o. P, its sig
nificance might be overemphasized. The
districting of the State is decidedly
favorable to Republican control of that
body. In two New York congressional
districts, where elections were held to fill
vacancies, the second and the twenty
second, the Democratic candidates won
with increased pluralities over those of
last year. Furthermore the claim is
made by the Democratic national chair
man, Postmaster General Farley, that
more Democratic votes were cast in the
Assembly election than Republican by
half million
The great Western section was scarcely
heard from in yesterdays elections.
However, Republican victory in San
Francisco by an increased vote will add
to the joy of the party leaders. Cali
fornia is likely to prove an important
factor in the presidential election a
year hence. The Republican victories in
Ohio cities, particularly in Cleveland and
Columbus, have their significance, too.
1t is altogether too early to predict
a Republican national victory next year
based on the returns in yesterdays elec-
tons Whatever Growing is justified,
however, comes from the Republican and
not the Democratic side of the fence.
