CHAPTER FOUR
The cock of the walk! The
proudest Irish woman in the land.
That's my mother, glory be!
Elizabeth O'Toole Braddock-to
know her is to love her.
She brought me into this world,
one of seven children. Always
my pal. I don't say I was her
favorite child but deep down in
her heart I think she liked me
best.
She used to tell me how a doc
tor who examined me when I was
one-year-old propheSized that
some day I would be big man,
but she never dreamt it would be
in the prize ring.
The doctor, she doesn't remem-
ber his name, discovered I had a
couple of bumps back of my head.
She didn't know what they could
be.
you are going to hear from
this child some day"
he informed her. And that was
that. To this very day she
doesn't know how I got the
bumps.
You couldn't have kept her
away from the fight with a der
rick. Unlike father, she has been
my best rooter. She saw me knock
out Slattery and slug with Hans
Birkie. Everytime I'd hear a wo-
man screening.
"Give it to him Jim!"
knew mother was in the house.
BETTER MAN WON
She saw Tommy Loughran give
me a boxing lesson. After the
fight mother said:
"Jim, you weren't disgraced.
A better man beat you. When
ever you see Tommy, cOngratu-
late him for me-"
I asked her how she felt during
the Baer fight.
II wasn't q bit nervous" she

FURR TACKLES
TOUCH MAN
IN ROCK

All star boxing takes a bow at
Griffith Stadium tonight when
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn and
Promoter Joe Turner cooperate in
the presentation of a scheduled
36-round card. Four scheduled
eight FOUNDERS and an opening
four are to round out the show.
In the evenings finale Phil
Fur, District welterweight cham
pion and one of the greatest pro-
spectS ever turned out locally, is
booked to oppose Tony Rock, slug
ging product of Pennsylvania S
coal region.
Though officially un-ranked
Rock boasts a great record that
includes a victory over Jay Me-
Cadon, impressive conqueror Of
Furr this past winter. Otherwise
Tony has defeated Ray Napoli-
tano, frankie Petrolle, Pete SuSki
and frankie kid" Bruno and
knocked out Pete Gullotta.
Roger Bernard, Slugging French
American and the first to knock
out AL Foreman, comes back
against rugged Lou Fox. Bernard
and Fox set a terrific pace on the
recent Shrine card, Roger winning
out on close decision after a stir
ring bout.
An effort to effect a definite
settlement as to the superiority
of one or the other will be
launched in the return meeting of
Julie Katz and Joe Temes. These
lads slugged to an entertaining
draw on the shrine show, pleasing
to such an extent that a rematch
was created by popular demand.
Tin Can Romanelli, New York's
outstanding club fighter, has been
signed to do battle with Andy Mar
tin, Boston veteran, in the open
ing eight-round number.
An opening four-round shot
scheduled for $50 o'clock brings
together AL Dintamin VS.. Joe
TranSparante.

Garden Notes

r ILACS have not been universally
successful in the Washington
area, largely because of mildew,
which attacks the leaves covering
them in Summer with coat OF gray
ish white. DR.. Richard White of the
New Jersey Experiment Station sug-
eests that busting the foliage at two
week intervals with finely divided sui
phur is an effective control method.
1t appears likely that the colloidal
sulphur sprays now being developed to
combat black spot of roses and other
foliage troubles should also be highly
effective. Many of the improved va
rieties of lilacs developed in France
are exceedingly beautiful and well
warrant some extra care. The old
fashioned, common lilac grows fairly
we'll with no spraying or busting. The
lilac is primarily cold climate plant,
approaching its southern limits in our
vicinity. Local gardens can neither
be classified as Northern nor South
ern and thus present certain peculiar
problems of their own.
The ble-f1owered nasturtiums,
with the exception of Golden Clean,
y,
may yield a disappointingly large
percentage of single flowers Per-
haps the originators have been in too
much of hurry to place the new
kinds on the market. In few years
the strains will be improved and will
then become much more satisfactory
plant material.
Sweet peas succeed nicely in the
South, where the seed can be sown
In late Autumn, and in the North,
where Spring-sown plants have suffi-
cient cool weather to permit them to
mature satisfactorily. In this area,
sweet peas are often a disappointment
because the early appearance of hot
weather in late May prevents their
proper growth and Towering. Like the
garden pea, the Towering form enjoys
moderately cool temperatures.
Black spot of roses rs often success
full in running the beauty of the rose
beds simply because the gardener
waited too long before spraying or
busting. The fungus first shows as
small black spots on the lower sur
face of the older leaves Once it
enters leaf, no amount of spraying
can check its course in that leaf, but
can check its spread to other leaves.
There are prepared dusts and sprays
Tor combating black spot. These can
be secured from any garden supply
store. One may make up his own
DUST by thoroughly mixing nine parts
OF very finely divided sulphur with
one part of arsenate of lead powder
or may use bordeaux mixture. There
Is little use in trusting to luck to save
the rose foliage because the chances
OF winning are altogether too remote.
Any one who may be planning a
rock garden should procure from the
superintendent of documents, Gov
ernment Printing Office, COPY of
Leaflet No. go. Rockeries prepared bv
r. L. Mulford of the Department of
Agriculture. This pamphlet contains
useful information on construction and
selection of plants.

Plants Need Food.
- XCEpT with very large applica-
r, tions of stable manure, 1t is al
most impossible to put enough
plant food in the soil at any one time
to carry the garden through an entire
growing season. This is especially
true in the home garden, where one
crop is usually followed directly by
another, and where continued tillage
hastens the conversion of foods to
readily usable and at the same time
readily leachable forms. Hence. one
finds the veteran gardener provided
with a reserve supply of nutrients,
maybe a barrel of water with COW
manure in the bottom, or perhaps a
small sack of quickly available fer
tilizer. such as sulphate of ammonia
or nitrate Of soda. Sometimes it is
yellowing of the foliage that reveals
the diminishing nutrient supply. or
1t may be slow growth. A lack of
water, an excess of weeds, or even an
pusual cold period may bring about
similar results, but these conditions
are clearly defined and are temporary
Certain plants, such as hybrid tea
roses, that bloom several times in.
growing season, are in particular need
of supplemental feeding. There are
few species of flowers, such as mas
turtiums and portulacas. that may be
easily oVerfed and that will go all to
growth and cease Towering in over
fertile soils. The majority of plants,
however, require plenty of food to
grow to perfection. 1t is difficult to
lay down hard and fast rules for ap-
plying fertilizers because, rather OBJ
viously few soils are exactly alike in
character or previous treatment.
Supplemental feeding is something
that the gardener will have to try out
for himself, starting moderately and
gradually gaining knowledge of the
plants needs.
GladiOIus Diseases.
THE thrips insect has become so Sc
rious a problem in gladiolus
growing that home gardeners
may neglect treating the bulbs for the
older and less critical disorders, such
as scab and various rots. Fortu-
nately, some of the treatments rec
commended for control of thrips are
also effective in the control of rots.
This is true of the mercury bichloride
treatment, in which corms are i'm
mersed for three hours in dilution
of one part chemical to one thousand
parts of water. This dilution ap-
proxlmates one ounce of chemical in
eight gallons of water If diseases
were the only problem concerned one

With definite arrangements already
made in 26 States to break ground
on model homes projects as a part
of the observance of National Better
Housing day. June Is. scores of addi-
tional projects in other localities are
being reported daily to the Federal
Housing Administration. It is hoped
that on June Is approximately 1000
new dwellings will be started
National Better Housing day has
for its purpose the focusing of public
attention on home building and home
ownership.
Construction of these homes will
get under way simultaneously and,
when completed, they will be open
for public inspection for a stipulated
period. A great majority will be
eligible for financing under terms of
the mutual mortgage insurance plan
established under the authority of the
national housing act.
Local Better Housing Committees
are sponsoring the movement in va
rious localities in cooperation with
banks, lumber companies, building
material dealers, newspapers, radio
stations, industrial concerns and
others. In connection with the
ground breaking ceremonies in many
localities, elaborate programs are
being planned with the help of the
Better Housing Committees which are
In operation in over 7,400 communities.
While the model homes started on
June Is will be open for public in

hour Of immersion would suffice.
There Is no use in treating badly
scabbed or rotted corms, and such
should obviously be destroyed. The
mercury containing poisons are very
toxic to people and must be handled
with great care to children. Wash
ing the hands following their use Is
very desirable, and with this care
there need be no worry. Mercury
compounds combine readily with
metals and must, therefore, be pre-
pared in wooden, earthenware,
enameled or glass containers. 1t ap-
pears now as If the thrips would re-
main the great problem for gladiolus
growers all over the country. Ap-
pearing only few years ago, the tiny
insect has spread all over the coun-
try wherever gladioluses are grown.
Bulb treatment Is an essential point
of thrips control and, If the right
materials are used, will serve a dual
purpose of disease and insect control.
Strawberries.
VYIITH the advent of various in
" sects and diseases, fruit
growing has become a rather
doubtful proposition in. the home
garden and more and more a COM
mercial proposition. The grape and
the strawberry are perhaps the most
important species for the home gar
den, partly because they occupy rela-
lively little space and partly because
of their comparative freedom from
pests. OF the two, strawberry is the
more easily grown. No other fruit
reaches maximum production in a
single year from planting and no
other species reproduces itself so
rapidly. A few dozen plants will
form the nucleus for bed of Suffi-
cient size for the single family. Set
out now, these plants will send out
runners and make several new plants
before August. 1t used to be con-
Sidered desirable to permit each plant
to make as many new ones as it
would, but certain studies carried on
by DR.. George DarroW Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
suggest the desirability of spacing the
runners and limiting their number.
Such procedure would be feasible
in the home garden, where labor is
not usually a limiting factor If the
original plants are set in rows four
feet apart and plants Is inches in the

short lived, low-growing vegetable or
flower may be grown as interplants
during the first Summer. The hoeing
applied to the vegetables will help
keep the berry plants free Of weeds.
After all. weeds are the most serious
pest of the strawberry.
That the strawberry Is we'll adapted
locally Is attested by the fine crops
of wild berries that are often gathered
in the wilds. Among desirable varie-
ties are Premier (Howard I'D, Dorset
and Fairfax. The latter two were
originated by the Department Of Ag-
riculture within a few miles of Wash
ington. The most serious enemy Of
the strawberry, when grown in small
beds, Is the robin, which relisheS
greatly the ripening fruits. 1t may
become necessary sometimes to cover
the small beds with netting supported
on low frames.

little wonder that interest
in aquatic gardening has increased
greatly in this vicinity in recent years.
Many local home gardeners have con-
structed their own pools and, with the
use of natural stone placed along the
edges of the pools, have made them
appear natural part of the land
scape. Among the essential require
ments of lily culture are full exposure
TO sunlight, rich soil with which to
fill the boxes in which the roots are
to bet set, and sufficient depth Of
water to cover the boxes with 9 to
IL inches of water. Greater depth
is undesirable
Generally speaking. the best fertiliz-
ing material is well-rotted COW manure.
which may be secured in pulveriZed
form from garden supply stores. If
little coarse sand is placed over the
soil, there will be less discoloring of
the water. A box two feet square and
one foot deep is required for each
lily plant and this, in a measure, de-
termineS the number of lilies that
may be placed in pool. Just as in
ordinary gardening, too close plant
ing will lessen the beauty effect of
the entire pool. A few goldfish are
essential to destroy the larvae of mos
quitoes. There are two groups of
lilies, the hardy and the tropical
In ordinary Winters the former will
survive in the pool. One simple rule
should be followed in constructing the
pool, namely, to have the walls slope
outwardly so that the freezing pres
sure of the ice will not rupture the
concrete.
Iris Propagation.
THE common or German iris is one
Of the easiest of garden flowers
to increase, fact that is very
fortunate in view of the value of this
species to home gardeners. At any
time from April to November, plants
may be lifted and divided. However,
the period from Cessation of Towering
to July is the most acceptable season
for propagation because at this time
root growth practically ceases and the
plants are more or less in a condi-
ton of rest, Generally speaking. the
iris clumps thrive better if divided
every third or fourth year, because
they become so crowded as to injure
themselves and to offer ideal harbor
for insects and disease At the time
of division, the old. inactive root
stocks and leaves should be cut off,
using only the strong. young plants.
These young plants will grow vigor-
ously after resetting and flower the
next Spring.
One of the decided benefits of iris
replanting is the opportunity afforded
for spading and refertilizing the soil.

Political writer's and wiseacres. re-
Gently seized on speech by Governor
Olson criticizing certain New Deal
policies as evidence of a break, or
parting of the ways, or what not, be-
tween President Roosevelt and the
Governor. OF course. it was the wish
being father to the thought.
Since then they have been dOin.,
some rather wishy-washy thinking.
They do not know how to take the
governors personal interview with
the President, and they are staying
close to the shore waters.
Reactionary politicians in Mime
sofa would like to see a break be-
tween Olson and Roosevelt, but they
jumped too hastily to the conclusion
that Olson's criticism of some New
Deal policies was a step towards
alienation. They forgot that con-
structive criticism has never been ia
boo in RoOsevelts administration.
Furthermore, they forgot that the
New Deal, with its far-flung social
security program, with its belief in
reforming the tax system by narrow
ing the base and taxing wealth, with
it's hostility towards corporate greed,
is far closer to the Farmer-LabOr pro-
gam than it is to the hidebOund and
Anticipated notions of Minnesota reac-
tionaries.
These reactiOnaries should study
the governors inaugural message to
the Legislature and in that address
they will find recommendation for
old age pension and other social Sc
curity measures, some of which were
enacted into law when the federal
social security bill was passed by
Congress at the Presidents behest
