concentrating exclusively upon efforts to
examine and classify the elements and

A Governors Bet.

Things have come to a pretty pass
# the Governor of State cannot, with
out threat of penalty bet on the result
of a foot ball game between the team
OF the university of his own State and
the university team of an adjacent State.
What price loyalty to the Common
wealth? What is to become of the good
old -Whoosit spirit if the States leading
citizen cannot indorse his faith in the
prowess of the team with a wager?
Whether in plain cash or in fancy stake
in the form of giant porker, bet is
q bet, however, and the Iowa gambling
statutes list betting as a misdemeanor
and set the penalty as a fine Of $500
or Jail term up to one year or both.
In this case the Governor of Iowa
made his bet with the Governor of Min
nesota, stalking a 265-pound porker
against a consideration which the news
reports have not clearly defined. The
Iowa team lost the game and the porker
has been delivered under personal
escort of the losing Governor. A
municipal court judge in the Iowa capital
has signed a warrant for the Governors
arrest on information filed by the secre-
tary of the Social Justice Club. Now the
Governor of Iowa is wondering II In

event Of his onviction-which would
seem to be most likely In view OF the
publicity attendant upon the wager-he
will be justified in writing out pardon
for himself. Surely if he were merely
fined the loyal rooters Of Iowa State
would doubtless make up the purse and
pay the penalty, and If he were COM
mitted to jail there would be no lack of
substitutes offering to serve in his stead.
Meanwhile, the most unpopular man in
both States is the secretary of the Social
Justice Club Of Des Moines, who has
dared to challenge the right of the Gov
ernor to indorse his faith in the home

Let the Morning Stars Sing

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The objection or criticism most fire.
quently made against the Community
Chest by prospective contributors is that
1t includes many agencies or activities
which are not in true sense charities,
and hence should not be supported by
the community as whole.
There probably is no diversified group
in which you could find unanimity of
opinion as to what institutions should
be included and what should be omitted
from the Chest. 1t is, therefore, quite
conceivable that no particular agency
would commend itself to the entire pub
lie, and by process Of elimination, based
on minority objections, we would soon
find ourselves in the position of having
to undertake 65 campaigns (or an aver
age of five and one-half monthly, as
against one short intensive campaign, as
at present. II the average contributor
gave but SO cents to half of each of these
worse of financially than he is under
the present arrangement, where the
average contribution to each agency is
considerably less than Is cents.
Surely, Is cents given to only partly
worthwhile charity is not money un-
wisely spent, particularly when you con-
slider that any panhandler is likely to
get 10 cents from you without much
hesitation. True, giving to dozen chari-
ties in which you wholeheartedly believe
gives you more self satisfaction than Civ

may have no interest But money, like
water, tends to equaliZe itself. II put

Tory Victory i'm Britain.

If news" were forthcoming that the
Dutch had taken Holland, it would be
about as surprising as the results OF the
elections for the British House of Com
mons. In other words, the expected has
come to pass. The Conservative-con-
trolled National government still holds
the fort against an opposition consisting
overwhelmingly of Labor members, who
will increase their strength in the new
Parliament to double their previous num-
ber, if not more. Prime Minister Bald
win will be supported by a majority OF
somewhere between $50 and 200, made up
of Conservative, National Labor and Ma
tional Liberal adherents. Such margin
represents tremendous slump from the
majority of 412, predominantly Tory,
with which the government has held
sway since the 1881 election, but 1t is
ample for Mr.. Baldwin's purposes and
assures him smooth sailing in the execu-
ton of his foreign and domestic policies.
Complete returns, which are sure to re-
veal q heavy falling Of in the Conserva-
tive popular vote, will alter the final fig-
ures, but the general picture-the gov
ernment safe in the saddle and a SUBJ
stantial accretion Of Labor strength
will not be materially altered. John Bull
still plights his faith in Tory rule.
With no fundamental changes in the
parliamentary situation resultant from
the vote, interest is aroused chiefly by
Evening star., 1935-11-15

1t is real sport, If your mind is built
that way, to take in petunia plants,
marigolds, ageratum, various ferns, even
wildflowers, in order to test their growth
indoors.
Many of the herbs can be treated in
this way, with some prospect of success.
Herbs In the kitchen window have been
advocated in some quarters. and certain
ones stand every chance Of succeeding,
unless they become too warm and espe-
cially too dry.
Right there Is where one Of the greatest
difficulties IN indoor gardening appears.
The fine line must be drawn between
too wet and too dry. BY the time one
experiments for a while, the plant may
be either rotted or dried up.
Which one Of these extremes is worse
depends upon the plant, and its adapta-
bility to Indoor life.
There is this popularity about indoor
growing, that much water in the soil
does not seem to make up for the
super-dry atmosphere usually expert
enced by the plants.
Except for the cacti and other plants
of similar nature, no plants whatever IN
any section of the world live, grow and
thrive in air as dry as the usual home
living room.
While a normal relative humidity of
so to 60 Is advocated, the average living
quarter of a modern home comes nearer
to 30 points on a good quality hygrometer.
Sometimes it Is considerably lower.
This Is said to approximate a reading
taken in the Sahara Desert; it will be
realized that plants out Of damp tenn
- - zE Il
The unheated but incloSed porch
must be better than average living quar-
ter, not only because the relative hu-
midity is near to the plants own desires,
but also because there is more of a varia-
ton between day and night tempera-
lures, yet not extreme enough to injure
the plant except in very cold weather.
This variation is entirely natural and
corresponds, in little, to the variation
which humanity in this climate expert
ences by reason of changeable weather.
Often one hears much kicking" against
our changeable climate, but in the main
1t is held by competent authority to be
a good thing, since it keeps alive and
in good condition the proper reflexeS of
the skin and organs, which might, in
a more stable climate, be lacking. There
is tonic effect, in other words in change
Plant life has this change constantly
in the outdoors. 1t may be felt, then,
that an unheated yet inclosed porch,
which permits a varied temperature, but
which holds it down somewhat, just as
the milder temperatures Of Spring and
Summer prevent plant life from becom-
ing too cold outdoors, is really suitable
to most of the plants which one is
tempted to take indoors at this time
The dormancy period of plant life must
be considered. Most of us know very
little about this and here is good way
to find out. If an annual plant, in good
bloom, is taken into the house now, how
long will it thrive? If small plant of
the old borage, just up and out from
seed ripened last Summer, is tranSplanted
into the house, will it grow as well as it
would if it had not been put into the
ground until next Spring? Such ques-
tions plant lovers ought to try to answer
for themselves.

THIS AND. THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

An exceptionally long extended mild
Autumn has given flower lovers unusual
opportunity for selecting such plants as
they may desire to grow indoors this
Winter. While such culture long has
been associated with womankind. there
Is no real reason in the world why any
one should not be interested.
The home gardener who is not willing
to give up his floral pets when Winter
comes, and who yet is not satisfied with
few Of the paper white narcissus in a
bowl, will find that many things can be
grown with pleasure indoors.
A conservatory is not essential. Many
plants will do nicely on cool sun porch.
Some care will be necessary, in removing
them on unusually cold nights. or COW
ering them with protective wrappings,
perhaps, but, aside from that little
trouble, not much is needed.
What if failure looms?
A plea may be made in this world
for attempting something or other where
success does not appear possible.
After all, there is nothing quite like
finding out something for ones self,
and in this very small province of flower
growing there is much opportunity.
Do not hesitate, therefore, about bring
ing any plant whatsoever into the house
for Winter.
Seek no special permission Of Nature,
or from your gardening friends, but do
as you please.
You may surprise them and yourself
1t is not often that annual flowers run
into November mass of bloom, as many
of them did in local gardens.
1t is a nice experiment to take some
of them indoors, just to see what they
will do.
Here is the blue ageratum, for instance,
covered with flowers.
1t is seldom that on Armistice day one
may pot some of these, in full bloom,
and put them on a cool sun porch.
1t will be an interesting experiment,
will it not?
And one which almost any one could
attempt. but it seems that the desire to
experiment, in such matters, is really
rare.
So many persons never once think the
thing possible, or. if you were to suggest
it to them, would have 10 good reasons
in as many seconds why the experiment
was bound to fail.
II \
The unheated sun porch comes in
handy, in such cases, because it permits
the transplanted things to have approxi-
mately the same temperature as outdoors.
Not as cool, by any means, but still the
same conditions apply, especially in re-
gard to moisture.
Such unheated rooms approximate
very closely the hygrometer readings of
outdoors 1t is in moisture content, of
course, that the heated room or porch
fails, in SO far as indoor flower culture
is concerned.
Any one whose memory runs back to
the 90s knows how easily the women of
those days kept flowers in the house
Many a parlor window of that day
sported a luxuriant growth of Towering
plants and vines.
Not only were these results due to
loving care, and much practical knowl-
edge. in the main they came about be-
cause homes were not so thoroughly
heated then.

some Of its personal aspects. The defeat
of former Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald in his old colliery constituency
of Seaham is indicated. Sir Herbert
Samuel, leader Of the late Liberal oppo-
sition, fell by the wayside in Lancashire.
His disappearance from the House, along
with the bulk of his supporters, opens
the way for David Lloyd George to
aspire to the Liberal captaincy at the
head of the anti-government remnant
which recognizes the little .Welshman as
its chief Labor, as the second strongest
party, becomes the spearhead Of ''his
majesty's loyal opposition" and, be-
cause Of its vastly augmented numbers,
will now dream Of another term of office
in Downing Street after one more seS-
sion at the polls. Lady Astor again
thwarted the Labor threat and will con-
tinue to scintillate in Commons as the
Conservative member for Plymouth,
henceforward with her son as a party
colleague.
1t will presently develop whether the
election is destined to have any influ-
ence on the international situation.
Mussolini has been reported in mood to
Stiffen his resistance to Britain in the

If the Baldwin majority were heavily
cut, on the theory that the prime min
lister could no longer reckon on strong
popular approval Of his Italian policy.
There were concurrent rumors that with
the election over and won, the govern
ment's attitude would be relaxed suffi-
ciently to permit a settlement OF the
African conflict on terms favorable to
the Fascists. These suggestions leave out
of account that the Labor party and the
British electorate as a whole are on
record in favor of vigorous support of
League sanctions and stern resistance
to the aggression Italy is committing at
Ethiopias expense.
Reinstated with an unmistakable man.
date on this score, together with author
ity to expand national defense, the
Baldwin government is altogether un-
likely to recede from the program of
collective action to impose peace upon
the Italians and to force them to adjust
their controversy with Ethiopia within
the framework of the League.

Halcyon Dusk

A foggy dusk; an hour imbued
With visions unattained,
When mans low spirits seem TO brood
On SUBMITS never gained.
The wind blows eerily.
The rain falls drearily.
A stormy dusk; the restive brain
Constructs, creates and plans,
Finding no vaunted dream In vain
For the desired spans.
The gales blow gustily
The rain falls Justify.
A halcyon dusk; the heart at peace
With earth and heaven above
Finds a sublime and calm release
In unison with love.
No winds blow stridently-
TtA rain falls silently.
