to far-reaching possibilities through
out the plant kingdom. So, at the
horticultural laboratory at Beltsville,
intensive anatomical and chemical ex-
periments are in progress.
Daffodils to bloom the following
Spring are planted in September and
early October. Then the bulbs are dug
up and kept in dry storage during the
hot Summer. All moisture is denied
them. This is their sleep time. Then
they are replanted, and, with the
natural combination of the proper
moisture, temperature and light. send
up shoots and blossom. Now In the
past this Summer sleep has been con-
sidered a period of complete dormancy
with the bulb undergoing no physio-
logical activity whatsoever. The whole
plant is completely drawn into its
she'll. To all appearances it is dead.
Now all bulbs of this family have
the popularity that the entire plant,
leaves, stem, blossom and all, are
present in the bulb. This can be seen
by cutting the bulb open. The tiny
blossom, for instance. is packed within,
with about the same form as 1t will
have when 1t appears in the garden.
although. of course. without the size
and color. For that matter the bud
which will form the bulb of next years
plant Is present. The interior of any
daffodil bulb contains the living mat
ter Of three generations.
THE discovery is that this plant
packed within the bulb is not
asleep after all. It is, in fact, very
active. The blossom actually grows
and develops within its shell. 1t Is
somewhat like a chicken developing
inside an egg before it Is incubated.
Furthermore, the plant Psychologists
have found, the degree Of temperature
at which the bulbs are kept greatly
influences this obscure, invisible
process.
The blossoming time, once the
proper heat and moisture combina-
ton is reached the next Spring, can
be speeded up several weeks and the
quality of the flowers improved, ap-
parently, solely by regulating the
storage temperature Of the sleeping
bulbs" For example, they may be
kept at steady temperature Of 80
degrees, with all moisture carefully
excluded to prevent sprouting. The
Spring progress will be slow and the
flowers unsatisfactory. A remarkable
improvement, both In size and quality,
Is obtained If the temperature Is
dropped, after two weeks, to approx
imately 60. The greatest improve
ment of all is obtained If it Is dropped
to so. This $3.50 formula seems to
act like magic. Blossoming time can
be cut almost in half and the finest
possible blossoms obtained. But whef
the drop Is 10 degrees lower the
sprouts come up just the same, but
the plant never blossoms.
BY knowledge Of this formula hor-
lists are able to have perfect flowers
for February birthday parties or for
Easter decorations in the North. They
are able to beat the competition Of
home garden flowers. But the plant

His action was prompted by a
charge by Senator Arthur Capper,

but also fail to maintain proper
sanitary standards.
Commissioner Allen said that
he would recommend the appoint

Alfred R. McGonegal, inspector Of

that their efforts should be CO.

The committee would be in.

HELP Of ]. 8.

President Roosevelt and other
Government officials have been
asked to help check anti-Catholic
literature that Catholic leaders
say is being sent out as Mexican
propaganda.

of which were sent to the Presi-

SMOKE CONTROL
|. TEACHING DUE

Apparently prepared to pigeon
hole both the smoke control pro
posals recommended by the Dis
trict Commissioners and that of
Peoples Counsel William A. Rob
erts, the House District subcom-
mittee, considering the measures,
will meet this week to approve a
new measure of its own.
Representative Virginia E,
Jenckes CD, of Indiana, chair
man of the subcommittee, and
Representative James L. Quinn
(DO, of Pennsylvania, have eX'
pressed the opinion that the best
plan to eliminate smoke emission
in the city is by a properly super
vised educational campaign.
Such a suggestion was made
during the hearings by an official
of the Bureau of Mines and other
witnesses. Their theory is that a
highly trained expert in this field
should be employed so that he
could supervise this educational
work.
Any kind of furnace burning
any Kind of fuel can be operated
without causing smoke, it is held
by the experts. Therefore if home
and apartment house owners were
educated to the fact that when
smoke is emitted from their Chin
neys it indicates a waste of the
fuel, material results would be
obtained, it S claimed.
1t is along these lines that the
majority of the subcommittee in
charge of the bill think, and it
will be their purpose, it is indi.
Gated, to write a bill that will
carry out this line of thought.

0usted Arlington officer
Seeks Court Clerk Post;
Charges Frame-Up

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, April 29.-Dictaphone evi
dence now before the Virginia Su
preme Court in the case Of Lyman
M. Kelley, who was removed from
the Arlington County Board OF
Supervisors last fall on charges
of malfeasance in office, will be
broadcast to the public, Mr.. Kel-
ley said today.
In announcing his condidacv
for clerk of the Circuit Court OF
Arlington County, subject to the
Democratic primary in August,
Mr.. Kelley said he would run on a
"vindication ticket" and carry his
custer case directly to the people
of the county.
Bribe Charge Denied
One of the two charges on which
the former chairman of the board
was impeached last November was
that he solicited a bribe from
Clyde c. Lamond. clay pipe man
ufacturer. when he asked Mr.. La"
mond if he. Kelley, would write
the bonds should the county use
clay pipes in the sewers.
Mr.. Lamond was considered as
the States star witness at the
trial, yet Mr.. Kelley says he is
convinced that Mr.. Lamond did
not actually believe him to be
guilty of the charges.
A long telephone conversation
between Mr.. Kelley and Mr.. La
mond was arranged by the for
mer. and, unknown to the latter,
was recorded on a dictaphone.
In this 17-minute conversation
which took place after the jury
had found Mr.. Kelley guilty of
the charges, Mr.. Kelley states that
Mr.. Lamond repeatedly says he
does not believe Mr.. Kelley to be
guilty.
Written Statement Refused
The telephone conversation was
arranged by Mr.. Kelley after his
futile attempts to obtain a writ
ten statement to this effect from
Mr.. Lamond.
In announcing his candidacy,
Mr.. Kelley said:
'My candidacy will be one of
facts as they really exist, show
ing that while an official of Ar.
lingtOn county, elected by the
people thereof, in endeavOring
to protect their rights and in
tereSts it meant opposition to
those desiring favOritism for the
few.
"As a retaliatOry measure a
political frame-up was success
full in my removal, by perSecu-
tiOn, thereby wrestling the gov
ernment from the elected off.
cials of the people and placing
1t in the hands of appOintees.
II promise that my campaign
will be most interesting to the
people, as many sensational
facts will be brought out"
Mr.. Kelley, a resident of the
county for nearly 80 years, has
figured prominently in political,
fraternal. civic and business af-
fairs of the county. He has served
three terms as a member Of the
Democratic executive committee,
organized and served as president
of the Young Mems Democratic
Club, and is at present appraiser
in Arlington county for the Home
Owners Loan Corporation.
