Hopes Taxi Strike Will
Lead to Improvement

To the Editor of The Star:
We must all agree 1t was most un-
fortunate that this miserable taxicab
situation has arisen, especially when
it SO vitally affected thousands Of
Washington's special guests, coming
from all parts of the country. Just a
little foresight on the part Of the taxi
cab companies would have averted the
calamity. It has been known for
weeks that the General Motors Corr.
was furnishing special cars for official
use Of the Shriners, and certainly the
companies knew months ago the
traffic jams would exist when $50 900
visitors arrived. Conferences with the
Shriners' General Committee and with
the Public Utilities Commission before
the convention of the Shriners would
have resulted in all parties arriving at
general understanding.
How the companies can justify their
action in making things so inconveni-
ent for our special guests, by blaming
it on the remarks of one of our public
| servants, is most incomprehensibIe If
they claim an unjust remark has been
made about them, Is it fair or gentle
manly to make these weary travellers
pay the penalty?
However, the residents of the Dis
trict of Columbia should and most
likely will benefit in a most unex-
pected way as a result OF it all.
For many years the Commissioners
/ and nfRniolS ~
have been asking for authority to act
legally and effectively in many situa-
tions where such officials in other cities
have this authority. However, the
District OF Columbia, so far as many
| of our members OF Congress are con-
cerned, might as well be located some
where In China. We do have a num-
ber of true and loyal friends on the
Hill, but 1t must be admitted that most
OF them, when the affairs of the Dis
trict Of Columbia are concerned, are
only lukewarm.
This taxicab tangle has affected con-
stituents Of all 96 Senators and a ma
| jority of the Representatives, and no
doubt lot Of them have received per-
sonal complaints before this letter
reaches you. 1t would be most inter-
esting to hear Of some Of the explana-
tons given these constituents. espe-
cially in view Of the fact that the ulti-
mate responsibility rests right up on
Capitol Hill.
Let us hope that those on Capitol
Hill will be a little less lukewarm in
| the future and when the Commis-
sioners of the District of Columbia ask
for laws which will enable them to
more effectively conduct the affairs of
| the city their petitions will be more
energetcally and carefully considered.

What can be done with the shady
places in the yard?
Nothing will grow there" Is the
remark often heard.
Many plants do nicely enough in
shade, however. A list of these may
be found in any book devoted to the
subject of general gardening.
What most persons need is a plan,
rather than a list. however.
Given a plan, they can find their
lists quickly enough.
One very good plan for utilizing
shady hooks, or places. is to grow the
various wild flowers which naturally
grow in the woods, including famous
medicinal plants.
In handling this material a few
general directions may be helpful.
The first thing to be kept in mind,
and always kept in mind, is that the
habitat of the individual plant must
be aScertained.
1t will not do to know the natural
living places of an entire group.
One plant may belong to the group
and yet demand slightly different con-
ditions.
A little more shade or a little more
sun-such special conditions may
mean the difference between doing
good and doing poorly.
~
knowledge of best soil conditions
for the individual plant is essential.
This is even more necessary than
correct knowledge of whether the
plant likes shade, sun, semi shade,
for all plants grow in the soil and de-
rive most of their nourishment there
from. The soil is their home. If they
get correct soil they have every
chance to overcome the handicap of
incorrect placement.
1t must be realized that there is no
sort of plant material which demands
particular knowledge as much as wild
flowers of all sorts
Preliminary reading is necessary,
more so than with most plants While
1t is true that there is with these, as
with all growing things, a certain
amount of good fortune, in the main
failure will meet the planter who
plants without special knowledge.
All the books and magazines one
can consult. therefore, will not be too
many. if one "goes in" for the various
wild flowers.
The special conditions each one de-
Sires must be met, at least to the best
of ones ability. After that the plant
must take care of itself, and it will
do SO, in most cases.
There are many branches Of wild
flowers, but one of the most interest
ing is that devoted to medical plants.
Many OF these are as old as hu-
manity.
1t is possible to grow many of them
in shady places. behind garages. in
fence corners and even in flower bor-
ders.
Some of them have very pretty
flowers.
Many of them greatly resemble
what the average person knows as
weeds" but that very fact makes
them all the more interesting TO the
home gardener who feels that he has
grown beyond the mere desire for
large and SNOWY blossoms.
+ y
Here is the borage. for instance
known and respected by the Romans
1t looks. for all the world, like a
great burdock, with It's large sprawly
leaves.
The flower is pretty blue, with
black in the center, giving 1t dis
tinctive air.

1t seems perfectly natural to most
newspaper commentators that wheat
farmers should have voted six to one
in favor of continuing the Govern
ment's crop control program. AS the
San Francisco Chronicle puts it, the
question was, Shall Santa Claus keep
on filling your stocking?"
''The bounty system" according to
the New York Times, has served, in
the drought areas, as an impromptu
but effective form of crop insurance.
The curtailment program, ably abetted
by poor crop weather, both in 1888
and 1894, has reduced an enormous
surplus almost to normal proportions.
Prices have been rising. Wheat
brought 80 cents bushel on the farm
when the Roosevelt administration
entered Office 1t brings considerably
more than twice as much today, and
its purchasing power, in terms OF
goods the farmer buys, has more than
doubled. For this substantial change
in the price structure, drought and
A. A. A. are not solely responsible.
The natural tendency of prices to
rise from a panic level, devaluation
of the dollar and other influences
have played a part in the result"
'"The victory scored in the wheat
plebiscite, thinks the Sioux City
Iowa) Daily Tribune, 80 clearly re-
vealS the attitude of farmers toward
A. A. A. that courts will hesitate to
render such a sweepingly destructive
opinion as the one affecting N. r. A. ."
THE plan already" says the Hast
ings (Nebr.) Tribune, has increased
the return of the wheat crop, making
it approximately what it should be to
make it worthwhile to raise wheat.
1t is in contrast with the experience
of wheat raiSers for several years,
when they coped unsuccessfully with
world surplus"
THE farmer" in the opinion Of
the Milwaukee Journal. having had
his first taste of processing tax (Which
is the tariff working for him), finds
the mixture sweet, just as the Grundys
always found it. He'll take more OF
the same kind. All of which means
A big change, economically and
politically. BY politically We do not
necessarily refer to political parties
as they may happen to be lined up
now. We mean that the historic divi-
sion on the tariff Is gone. That is out.
From now on there must be balance
between agriculture and manufactur-
ing, both domestically and in reopen
ing foreign markets"
Questioning the Importance OF the
vote. the San Francisco Chronicle
asks, ''Who was the one out Of every
seven wheat growers who declined to
have Santa keep on with his ministra-
tions?" Tie San Jose Mercury
Herald, however, holds that subsidies
afford no permanent solution of the
problem Of getting agriculture into
balance with industry, as it was be-
fore the war;"
at is a matter Of plain fact" con-
tends the Kansas City Star, that the
Western farms we're liquidated to
maintain uneconomic industries IN the
East that had sprung up under war
conditions. That is, we gave these
uneconomic industries such prohib-
tive protection that the foreigners
who would have been glad TO send

Depression Conquered.
Miles of gay paraders
On the Avenue:
Merry serenaders,
And a dancing crew.
If, perhaps, you're guessin'
AS to what is won,
Don't forget the lesson
Shows What Can Be Done!"
Cares have been surmounted
BY this mystic lore;
Little ones uncounted
Happier than before.
All the world seems kinder
Meath the radiant sun
For this great reminder
Shows What Can Be Done!"

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Lads He Left Behind

Billy boy emerged from college with
conviction in his mind
That to make pot Of money he must
leave his town behind.
So they heard Of him in London doing
something on the Strand,
And they heard of him in China taking
rice fields in command,
And they heard of him in Bombay, In
Hawaii and in Rome.
Then at last they heard that Billy,
Billy boy, was coming home.
But the lads he'd left behind him,
prosperous citizens today,
Couldn't give old Bill banquet when
he showed up broke and gray,
So they fished him UP clerkship and
they set him on his feet.
And what was left Of Billy found tbs
home town big and sweet.
