Garden Is Attraction
Although slightly past the full bloom
stage, the garden of the Charles Hall
place is still 1ur1ng many visitors. Mrs.
Hall has had gladiolus over five feet
high and her wilderness of hollyhocks
has shown an amazing versatility
of bloom and color. A windbreak
of poplar trees which she set out eight
years ago as four-inch flngerlings now
reaches sky-high and seems ages old.
Among her gladlolus, many of which
are named varieties, are some par

Miss Bassett, author of shifting
Sands" the delightful story which
is to be published serially in this
paper, has spent her life in the at
mosphere which is so characteristic
of all her stories.
A descendant of William Bassett,
who landed at Plymouth in the
Fortune" in 1921, she was born at
Newton, Mass, and was educated
in the public schools of that city.
For twenty years Miss Bassett
was teacher in the Newton public
schools, devoting her spare time to
literary pursuits. She contributed
short stories to well-known mag
azines and then, in 1912, her first
book, "The Story of Lumber" was
published.
Other books followed and as the
avocation of writing became more
and more engrossing she left her
position in the schools to give her
entire time to literary work.
Miss Bassett lives in one of the
old Beacon Hill houses in Boston
and has summer home at Prince
ton, Mass, but she spends a part of
each season on Cape Cod, where the
scenes of many of her stories are
laid.
Among other popular novels
which preceded Shifting Sands"
were "The Harbor Road" Flood
Tide" "The Green Dolphin" EBAY
berry Lane" and ''Twin Lights.

CRITICS ANGER
N. {. CHIEF

RALEIGH, N. c., Dec. 3.-North
Carolina gets far less money from
the Federal Government, in COM
parison with the Federal taxes it
pays, than any other State.
Such was Gov. j. C. B. Ehring'
haus' reply to critics of his recent
speech before the New York State
Chamber Of Commerce. In that
speech the governor boasted Of
the sound financial condition of
his State. The critics asked why,
if North Cardinals condition was
so good, it had contributed less
than / per cent of the money
spent in the State for purposes Of
relief up until the present fiscal
year.
IT shall be happy to have any
one check not only the figures for
relief contributions by the Federal
Government in North Carloina,
but those for all other purposes,
and to compare them with con.
tributions to other States" said
Governor Ehringhaus, whose sor.
est spot had been touched. When
this is done it will be observed
that while North Carolina makes
the highest per capita contribu-
ton to the Federal Treasury, she
receives the lowest per capita re-
turn in the total of Federal ex.
penditures within her borders"

Se0TLANDYARD
ADOPTING u. s.
METHODS

American Omen are to have
their counterpart in the principal
cities Of England and Europe.
While U. S. groups are agltatlng
for an American Scotland YARD,
Scotland Yard is preparing TO
adopt American methods.
Attorney General CUMMINGS
who returned recently from a six
week study of police systems IN
London and continental Europe
said Scotland Yard and the
French Surete are organizing
schools designed to turn out spe-
cial police patterned after the
American type. -,
"The English" Cumming said
!, "are starting a police school some
what along the lines of our train
ing school here, and the French
Surete are organizing a flying
squadron which will swoop down
on gangsters as the American G.
men do" -,
The Attorney General said
police officials were deeply inter
ested in the Department of Jus
tice land its drive against the
American type of criminal.
'.They questioned me at length,
Cummings saio, about the edu
cational requirements, character
and the special training we give
our. Omen, and had nothing but
praise for their record, and the
record the department as a whole
has made in it's drive against the
gangster."
Comparing the American Sys,
tenn with that of the English and
French, Cummings said:
THE Yard and the Surete are
fine organizations. but the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation is
miles and miles ahead Of anything
they've got over there"

BURDENS
HOSPITAL

The steadily increasing deficit
of the Children's Hospital has
reached $216,500, it was reported
yesterday to the board of direc-
tors meeting at the hospital.
Thomas E. Sweeney. chairman
of the ways and means committee,
told the board that budget OF
1925, 900 was necessary If the hos
pital was to continue.
The institution. he said, takes
care of most of the sick children
in the District and IS per cent Of
their parents are charity cases.
Mr.. Sweeney said part of the
trouble was the inability of the
Board of Public Welfare to allow
the hospital as much per day for
its patients as their care costs,
insufficient allotments from the
Community Chest, reduced returns
from investments left in trust
for the hospital and lessened abil.

English As Taught
In Philippines Frets
Manila CoIumnist

MANILA, Dec. "A Filipino
columnist writing in the highly
nationalistic Philippines Herald
has broached a topic about which
Americans here have hesitated to
speak. That is the decline in
quality of the teaching of Eng
liSh in Philippine schools. Under
the caption who Is to Blame" "
he writes:
II am convinced that the re-
placement of American teachers
Of English in the public high
schools by Filipino teachers is
one Of the pernicious results OF
the precipitate policy Of Fillpinl-
zation which proceeded rapidly
under Harrison. The movement
amounted almost to hysteria, and
costly mistakes were probably i'll
evitable.
'But something ought to be
done about English in the Philip
pines. Certainly. we do not ask
that the Filipinos should speak
it with the oxford accent, but,
for heavens sake, they must
speak and write it as if it were
English"
