good characteristic of the pyrethrum
Is that the plants remain IN bloom for
several weeks and If cultivated and
fertilized, do fairly well In partial
shade.
Lawn Weeds.
THERE are several serious weeds that
compete with the good grasses for
possession of the lawn area. Among
these are wild onions, dandelions. wide
and narrow leaf plantains, chickweed
and crab grass. OF these the chick
weed and crab grass may be consid-
cred secondary in that they find difh-
Guilty In competing with a good strong
bluegrass sod but gain foothold In
bare spots. Obviously the best control
Of crab grass and chickweed lies in
encouragement of the blue grass by
fertilizing IL literally in early April
| and again in September and reseeding
of bare spots with good seed. Onion,
dandelions and plantains should be
dug from the lawn. The simple pull
ing OF the tops of onions and dande-
lions does little good for both species
possess strong capacity for renewal
One must lift the small onion bulbs
from the soil and cut of the dande-
lions an inch or so below the ground
level. A spoonful or two of gasoline
poured on the dandelion crown viii
also kill the plant. Plantain may be
cut off just below the surface and de-
stroyed.
Crab grass is dificult to control be-
cause of its habit of towering and
seeding on very short flower stalk,
which cannot be entirely cut with the
lawn mower There is some indica-
ton that crab grass cannot endure
shade and that by cutting the lawr
less frequently In Summer the blue
grass will actually shade the crab grasl
out of existence.
The statement by the well-knowr
lawn specialist, NJ L. Helm, that "tht
best and most economical method oI
weed control Is correct lawn construc-
toon and proper seeding, followed By
| constant care" Is fundamental There
is no easy path TO success in lawn
making and maintenance.

strong recovery and in some cases the
new growth will bloom late in the
Summer. This plant exhibits re-
markable capacity for recovery from
top killing. but it is doubtful If ex-
tensive planting of this half-hardy
species is warranted in this region.
The umbrella or catalpa tree is
developed by grating a bud of the
dropping variety on the ordinary
hardy kind. Hard pruning each
Spring is necessary to keep the UNI
brella catalpas in bounds. Otherwise
they soon become diversified and. on
the small home place, tend to crowd
other plants out of the picture. AS a
rule. the umbrella tree is considered

The old Towering stalks Of iris,
peony and other Spring flowers should
be cut out. both on account of appear
ance and because they are simply
drawing on the strength of the plants.
Rarely has the iris grown more lux
uriantly than this Spring. and. even
thought Towering is past, the foliage
makes q fine appearance in the
garden.
Overplanting is serious trouble in
most gardens. In the beginning of
the garden there is plenty of space
and there is a tendency to plant many
different species. As the plants grow
to maturity, it becomes apparent that
too much material has been used. II
pays to anticipate this undesirable sit
uation by removing part of the plants
before they injure one another.
Mary Wallace Is fine climbing rose

which was much favored as pink
climber but which drops its petals
too rapidly. Mary Wallace is much
more useful for cutting than is Chris

Bush roses Of the monthly blooming
type need cultivation and fertilizing
if the plants are expected to bear
abundant crops of flowers throughout
the Summer. Black spot is beginning
to show on the lower leaves and the

Adds ABABA, September l9 IN.
AN.A).-Five separate armies of the
Italian dictator await the word to
advance Three will strike at the
forces of Emperor Halle Selassie from
Eritrea on the northeast and two will
penetrate Ethiopian territory from
Italian Somaliland on the southeast
This, learned from official sources,
has been definitely agreed upon as the
Italian plan of campaign should war
develop. Four of the attacking forces
will advance on foot. while the fifth
will consist largely of airplanes.
Ethiopian Plans.
Ethiopian military leaders are fully
cognizant of the Italian plans and
are taking steps to meet them. Cen
orally speaking, the Ethiopian plan
is this: Three lines of defense will
be drawn up in the path of an Italian
advance, preferably on flank. The
| lines will be established, wherever it
is feasible. in trenches. The infan-
try will be reinforced by faSt-moving
cavalry units, which will be rushed
from one section to another when
danger threatens.

be the objective of the three Italian
armies advancing from Eritrea. II

Italians would be travelling down three
of its spokes. The westerly army will
leave from Agordat, the central and
largest force from Asmara, while the
eastern attack will be made from

ing on foot.
Already the Ethiopians have assem-
bled a large force In the eastern sec
tion of the Province Of Gojjam to
meet the Italian advance. Three
lines of defense will be spread out in
strategic positions. The Italians ad-
vancing from Agordat will face the
fierce and proud Gondar men, while
the main Italian force from Asmara
will meet the Tigre men. the greatest
fighters in Ethiopia.
The two Italian armies will ad-
vance northwest from Somaliland,
with the City of Harar in Ogaden
Province as their objective. The more
northerly force will swing north from
the border and pass through Walwal.

Both southern armies advancing
from Somaliland are expected to
move forward faster than the armies
to the north, because they do not face
the almost impenetrable barriers

LONDON, September 19-The ques-
ton of whether the League OF Ma
tions should invoke military measures
to prevent war in Africa resulted to-
day in a crisis in the affairs of Great
Britain's Labor party.
Chieftains of the government S
strongest opposition gathered in Lon
don for what was decribed officially
as an emergency meeting"
The immediate question to be dis
cussed by the Labor executives was
whether the two men who have led
their parliamentary forces for four
years-George Lansbury in the House
of Commons and Lord Ponsonby in
the House of. LordS-muSt step down
to make way for new blood
Both LanSbury and Lord Ponsonby
are avowed pacifsts of long standing
who maintain preference for old
fashioned political methods. Lord
Ponsonby announced his resignation
as Labor leader in the House of Lords
yesterday and Lansbury offered to
quit his post in Commons.
Labor Circles Stirred.
A sharp discussion of the issue OF
application of military measures tc
avert war between Italy and Ethiopia
was expected in Labor circles at the
executive session.
A number of prominent party lead
ers have expressed reservations since
the Trades Union Council and the
party made a Joint declaration in
favor of using all necessary meas
ures provided by the League of Ma
tions covenant Ito prevent Italy'S un-
Just, rapacious attack upon the ter
ritory of a fellow member of the
League"
In view of campaign launched by
the Socialist League against Britain'S
being drawn into any 'imperialiSt
war" informed political quarters were
dubious as to whether the time had
yet arrived for Lansbury and Lord
PonSonby to be replaced by younger
men.
Eventual replacement of Lansbury
by some likely candidate for the post
of prime minister. if and when g
Labor government is likely to return tt
power, was predicted freely in the
ranks of the party.
Although the party executives eXer-
else an important influence, an actual
vote for party leaders cannot take
place until the party meets October
90. with the reassembling of Parlia-
ment.
Sir Richard Cripps Resigns.
Sir Richard Stafford Cripps, re-
earded generally as a leading aspirant
to Lansbury's post, announced his res

press itself on this issue until the

leagues on the executive Cripps said
Herbert Morrison, not a member oi
Commons, but regarded as the Labor
party's other leading prospect for the
post of prime minister, has expressed
views similar to those of CrippS.
Lord PonSonby, announcing his res
tgnation, said: II have increasingly
maintained that peace can never be
secured by force of arms, and nc

contributed to make me alter this con-
viction by hairs breadth"

estimated at over 10000 horsemen, will
be stationed between the two lines of
advancing Italians and will attack
each one in turn as the opportunity
presents itself.
According to present plans, the air
planes from Assab will serve as the
only connecting links between the two
southern and the three northern
armies. II the forces reach bessie
and Harar, they will continue west
along separate routes and will not
meet until they enter Adds Ababa.
If they are coming, they will be on
their way officially week from Fri
day, for that is the day of the Maskal
feast, when Ethiopians celebrate the
end of the rains. But, as the rains
have almost ceased here-it only
rained for an hour Wednesday,
Adds Ababa may be on the business
end of an Italian bomb long before
that.
