again, a lanky member who is shy
of poundage can also play with

and he will play with the Midgets.

Edwin C.. Brandenburg.

A native of Washington and long
faithful and valuable worker for its
interests, Edwin c. Brandenburg, who
passed away yesterday after a long ILL
ness, will be greatly missed and mourned.
He gave his best for the advancement Of
the Capitals interests, both in direct
services and in advisory capacities. His
sterling qualities were highly regarded
by his fellow citizens, with whom he
labored for Washington's welfare, and
his success in his professional career was
source of pride to those with and near
to whom he had lived for so long, with
only brief interruption in earlier years.
His winning personality and his excep-
tional intellectual equipment won for
him the admiration Of the community
of which he was so intimate and valuable
a member. Though illness had lessened
his activities for several years, he re-
tanned his keen interest in the causes
of political and fiscal equity for WASH
ington, in which he was helpfully and
inspiringly enlisted for decades. And
for these services he will be cherished
as one of Washington's most devoted
and faithful sons.

come to Washington by sea. This would
be altogether suitable, and in view OF
the unsurpassed scenic setting 1t would
make the approach to the National
Capital by water the most impressive
anywhere in the world. The develop
ment of such a project would not be
incompatible with the construction OF
permanent stage and shell for musical,
histrionic and pageantry events. There
is ample space, and it is not beyond the
range of ingenuity to find way, If de-
sirable, OF removing the shell itself from
a permanent base to adapt to an occa-
sion on which it would not be suitable.
While such plan is being developed
whether for large-scale productions or
not-there is no occasion for the demoli-
ton of the structure that served last
Summer to give the utmost qualification
to the musical tastes Of the people OF
Washington, who demonstrated their
appreciation by an attendance which
surpassed all records and gave promise
of even larger patronage hereafter.

The Symphony Shell.

Difficulties regarding the Winter hous-
Ing of the shell which formed the back
ground for the performances of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra last Sum-
mer at the Water Gate should not be
insuperable. The barge on which the
shell was reared belongs to the Navy,
having been loaned for this particular
use. The shell itself was constructed
by the parks authority. The orchestra
furnished the programs and one hun
dred thousand Washingtonians consti-
tuted the seasons assemblage of delight
ed listeners. The experiment of OPEN
air music Of high quality was entirely
successful, and it is the hope and ex-
pectation of the Capital community that
It will become an annual event.
The place chosen for the symphonic
concerts is ideal, the setting is unsur-
passed, and there is ground for hope
that the success of the Summer program
of music will lead to an enlargement
OF the equipment and its establishment
as a permanent feature. A fixed stage
and rejecting background might well
be provided of SUFFICIENT size to permit
large-scale performances and assemblage
productions.

Unclean Books Drive.

The current campaign on porno-

every decent citizen. It is intolerable
that the mails should be perverted by
professional panderers. Especially when
shameless publishers send Salacious ad-
vertising matter to school children some-
thing definite and drastic should be
done, without mercy and without delay.
Granted that there is a certain small
class of books which are only inciden-
tally obscene and that among them are
some of the very greatest products of
literary genius, there can be no ques-
ton about the viciousness of CONNER
ciai exploitation of their faults. It is
an insult to the authors and to the pub
lie to stress the shady passages in their
works at the expense of their legitimate
esthetic and historical value.
But still worse, from any normal point
of view, is the pretense of science which
has been employed to cloak the lecher-
BUSINESS of diseased minds engaged in
writing pornography for financial gain
in the guise Of anthropology and eth

at the foundations of civilization, en-
courages disbelief in the elemental in
tegrity of mankind and prompts disre-
gard for laws which, even in their
prehistoric origin, reflect developed
conscience necessary to social progress
and peace.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Species Of Tithonia, variously called
the golden flower Of the 1ncas and Aztec
Glory, need about 5h months from seed
to flower.
So 1t is best to plant them, evidently,
indoors in February so that their bloom
ing time would come in July or August,
rather than outdoors in May, which
throws their Towering rather late.
The vogue for Mexican flowers has
given the home gardener nothing more
interesting than this.
On shrubby stalks IL to IS feet high,
the bright orange scarlet blossoms nod
high in the air, dwarfing their more
humble relations, the zinnias, for long
the favorites of a million gardens.
1t Is a curious but natural quirk OF
fate that the Zinnia, constantly becom-
ing better flower, has received the name
Of a German professor Of botany rather
than one indicative OF the land OF its
origin.
The name Tithonia, on the other hand,
has a sort Of Mexican sound, at least.
There are probably not many plants Of
1t in the National Capital.
Our seeds came from Florida, where
the Tithonia grows and blooms profusely.
They were planted outdoors during the
first week Of May.
Buds did not show until about October
and the flowers did not open until
October Is.
While several brief periods Of tenn
perature as low as "a degrees out our
way resulted in some damage to the great
leaves, the buds increased their color
and finally opened out.
Most persons think the blossoms are
those Of dahlias.
Others liken them to zinnias. While
catalogues speak of them as resembling
immense single zinnias," ours look very
much like miniature dahlias of q partic-
ularly bright orange, with scarlet peering
through the petals.
One needs stepladder to gather these
blossoms, nodding on the tips of very tall
stalks, or branches.
These particular plants are rather thin
for the first two or three feet. They
were very crowded. No doubt they would
have branched out in bushy fashion had
they been given enough room to begin on.
The home gardener often makes this
mistake. 1t is difficult, even with some
experience, to picture the seeding as the
grown plant. Every one knows how it
is when setting out shrubs and ever
green's.
Even when one knows they will grow
tremendously in five years, the tempta-
ton to place them close together is
backed by the very small size at plant
ing time.
What? These little things growing too
large for the location? Surely they will
never do it! Even as one thinks that,
however common sense says they will
Still, the space between these little
plants, if We are to plant according to
theory, seems very, very large, with the
net result that most amateur gardeners,
even when experience tells them better.
insist on planting their flowers and
shrubs too close together.
Not only is the growth of the plants
checked by this procedure, but the
blooms often are dwarfed.
We would recommend further expert
mentation with Tithonia species in this
climate.

War and Traffic Deaths.

The pictures of two grave stones were
printed in The Star of last Friday, which
tell terrible story Of slaughter. One
of them bore the inscription "1776-l935
Americans Killed in All the Wars of
Our History, 244,357" The other bore
this message: 1920-1935-Americans
Killed in Last Fifteen Years of Automo-
bile Accidents, 1886"
In this graphic manner is brought
directly home to the American conscious
ness the fact that there is in progress
in this land a war of greater costliness
than any ever fought by the dwellers
within the United States since its foun-
dation. This war is waged for no good
cause. No principle of government, no
factor of human rights is involved. 1t
is a decidedly "unrighteous" war, cauS-
less, needless, futile.
On the one side in this warfare are
ranged in the offensive human careless
ness, recklessness, selfishness and in
competence. On the other side, in the
defense, are human carelessness and
weakness and possibly selfishness.
The offensive in this war is conducted
by the motor car and it's driver, who
ignores the rules and the rights of others
and the weaknesses of others. He has
the manning, killing power. His victims
are without armor or shelter and often
foolhardy.
Just take the figures as they stand:
Nearly quarter of a million lives lost
in wars in the course of one hundred
and fifty-nine years and many more than
a third of a million lives lost in traffic
accidents in fifteen years! Project this
latter figure to the span of the former
period and see the result: 4,122,711
victims!
That is terrible price to pay for
speedy individual transport. What has
been gained by it? Nothing, absolutely
nothing. If those deaths could be cap
italized," translated into terms of none
tary loss, in all the many forms that
traffic death affects the material welfare
of the direct and indirect sufferers, the
total would be staggering.
This war can be stopped, if the people
are SO minded. For there is practically
no such thing as an unavoidable traffic
accident. In every case there is human
fault, incompetence, inexperience, exces-
sive speed, the overstraining of the
mechanism without occasion, inattention,
bravado-many are the strictly human
causes of this slaughter, on both sides
of the traffic equation, all of them
avoidable.
1t is to be hoped that the memory of
those two grave stones will remain vivid
reminders to all motor drivers and all
who use the streets afoot and that this
memory will serve as a constant re-
minder of the obligation that every
driver and every pedestrian owes to him
self, his family and to society to be
careful and considerate-and not to be
in dangerous, needless hurry.

grows until the entire personality is
woven around it. The paranoiacS fire.
quently are quite disagreeable. They
often commit acts of violence without
the apparent shadow of an excuse.
Assassins of Presidents, for example,
usually have belonged to this class.
Paranoia is usually disease of the
middle-aged. 1t seldom makes its ap-
pearance before the late 30s. 1t has been
called the insanity Of genius" since its
victims are often brilliant individuals.
They often show no other trace of alb
normal behavior and one might talk to
one of them for hours and. if the par
ticular subject of the persecution COM
plex was not touched upon, be convinced
that he was perfectly sane.
Because of this it often is difficult to
have paranoiacs committed to an insane
hospital. To the lay jury they appear
perfectly sane. Many of them, it is
likely, never are committed.
y
The peculiar relationship between
paranoia and longevity was brought out
from statistics prepared in a study by
DR.. Freeman of association between in
sanity and size and weight of the en-
docrine glands. This was based on au-
topsies of more than a thousand persons
dying at St. Elizabeth's.
One surprising fact brought out is that,
both absolutely and in relation to the
body weight of the individual. the
adrenal glands are from 10 to Is per
cent heavier in the mentally deranged
than in the normal. This may be made
to fit into the general picture of mental
arrangement, however, since the secre-
tions of these glands are known to have
a profound effect upon behavior.
The average weight of the thyroid
gland, on the other hand. was slightly
below that of the normal average. Gen
orally speaking, DR.. Freeman found, the
insane were undersized but the women
were much more so than the men.

They seem to be able to stand almost
freezing without preventing them bloom
ing, even late.
This is very much in their favor. Add
ed to their unusual size and coioration,
combined with their tropical leaves, 1t
helps make q plant very much worth
while, especially in view Of the present
vogue for the Mexican garden.
While the United States, along with
the rest Of the gardening world, has
enjoyed the beauty of many Mexican
flowers for long time, 1t Is only within
the last year that much attention has
been given to the Mexican garden, as
such.
This not only means the use Of South
American flora, but even more the ideas
Of Mexican architecture, especially as
related to the patio.
The widespread adaptation of the court
idea in gardening, with the inclosed gar-
den, however small, makes sure that in
the future many small beauty spot will
be concealed from all but the eyes of
the home folks and their friends.
Mexican gardening, If 1t appeals to
one, can be practiced in cold climates
as well as in the Southwest.
We could not have such a garden in
full tropical splendor. perhaps, but still
enough of it to be different and artistic.
Not every one, of course, will like these
bright plants.
There are many persons who profess
to find nothing but the commonplace in
the humble old zinnia. It is impossible
to please every one.
There are artistic zinnias, however, of
surprising grace and loveliness, only one
must hunt for the exact shapes and tints
desired.
The handling of exotic plants requires
real artistic sense, including that best of
all artistic senses, restraint.
The use of the Tithonia species de-
mandS certain very positive restrictions.
The greatest of these is location.
Since the Aztec Glory grows II to IS
feet high, even under adverse conditions,
1t obviously needs position at the rear
of the garden.
In places where old-fashioned sun
flowers and hollyhockS have been planted
the Tithonia will 60 nicely. In such a
situation its very large leaves will not
look too big, but will fit in nicely with
the general background.
Single plants may be placed among
shrubbery or evergreens, but it is prob
ably best to group a number of them
about feet apart in some rear corner.
where their bold masses of foliage would
help keep them all up. While this plant
has very thick stems, it is probable that
some slight stalking is necessary to pre-
vent it from being toppled over in the
sudden gusts which ordinarily accom-
pany our Summer thunderstorms, eSpe-
cially those of the late afternoon type.
From our limited experience we believe
the Tithonia needs copious watering in
order to keep its foliage, which is a sub
stantial part of its beauty, lush and full
of green.
The other great necessity, in this cli-
mate, is to get as early start as pos
sible. No doubt when it is brought in
flower in July or August its blooms are
better in every way. If it is grown for
two months indoors when it is put out
in May it will grow triumphantly in the
heat of our Summers.

The one I love may laugh at me.
Her banter rouses ecstasy,
Such tenderness is in the sound,
Such sweet chords in her voice resound
Like the soft rush of winging dove
< The laughter of my love.
My foe begins to laugh at me.
My blood runs hot, and instantly
I want to spar! to fence! to f1ght!-
His malice works such deadly blight.
Like strings scraped by q rusty bow
The laughter Of my toei
