Fruit and Flower
Growers Achieve
Great Wonders

Berry bushes without their sharp
thorns and peaches with their annoy
ing fuzz reduced to a minimum have
their histories and family traits re-
corded in the rapidly growing files
| of the paint patent division.
Only since May %, 1880, have
gardeners had the right to patent
their odd plants in the manner which
otehr inventors patent their brain
children.
And each year, the division reports,
greater number of applications for
plant patents are being most persist
ent, the records show, and among
them, the growers Of roses are Gin
venting" the creates number of new
varieties.
Purple Rose Looks Black
There is on file a rambler rose in
an apple-blossom pink which the
grower has produced in thick clus-
ter resembling the rhododendron
bloom.
Another rose grower living in
southern California was more inter-
ested in the size of the bush itself.
He reports a plant which grew canes
eight and 10 feet long in one season
from a root three years old.
There is a pulple rose on record
that is so dark it looks black. It's sta
mems are pink and yellow. It was
produced by crossing the two darkest
known strains of hybrid tea roses, the
Chateau de Clos Vougeat and the
Lord Castlereagh.
Giant Pansy Produced
The little pansy has been turned
by one grower into a giant plant with
stems long enough so the plant can
be used for cut flowers. The patent
office reports pansy plants with some
stalks four feet high and flower
stems seven to IL inches long.
Berry pickers should find new
comfort in the fields of thornless
loganberries and dewberries which
have been patented.
In each case the grower found a
"sport" branch growing in a thorny
bush. The "sport" was devoid of
thorns itself, and when it was cult
waited alone produced thornless
bush. The grower of the thornless
loganberry says that his variety has
the added virtue of a longer fruiting

Rise in Food Prices
May Be Bigger than
Raises IL, Salaries

Soaring meat prices, resulting, ac-
cording to grocerymen, from govern
ment hog reductions, bought, and
shortage of live stock food, have left
village housewives wondering what
good petty salary increases, hailed
as indications of better times, are
going to do.
Meat, all the way from fatback to
sirloin steak, has risen to from one
and a half to almost two times the
price of last August: and no recess
sion is predicted.
Within the last two months the
prices of pork products-fatback,
country sausage, bacon, and pork
chops-have gone up, in some in
stances, as much as in the preceding
ten months. No such sudden general
rise has taken place during June and
July in the prices of staples like
sugar, flour, and potatoes.
According to letter sent out from
the Richmond headquarters of the
Kingan company to its statesmen, the
shortage of hogs is greater than it
has been. since 1902, pork on the hoof
now bring $14.45 per hundred pounds,
including the processing tax.
Flour, sugar. eggs, potatoes, and
other staples have shown an accom-
pying, though not proportionate. rise
in most cases. Of IA representative
food commodities, only one. coffee,
shows a decline in price.

Effect of OId-Age
Pensions on Average
Citizen Revealed

How the contributory old-age PEN
sion system in the social security law
would affect the average citizen is
best explained by taking a mythical
figure such as James jones'"
Suppose young Jones is 20 years
old when the bill goes into effect and
makes an average monthly salary of
500 until he is IS. He will get a
monthly pension until his death, OF
$53.75.
In detail, here is what will happen
to the mythical man.
Tax Explained
In the calendar years 1897, 1898,
and 1889 he will pay a salary tax of
one per cent or total of $50 for the
three years. In 1910, 1941, and 1912
he will pay one and one half per
cent, or 500. In 1943, 1914 and 1915
the tax will be two per cent, or $72.
In 1916, 1949 and 1913 the tax will be
two and a half per cent, or $50. From
1919 to 1881, inclusive the tax will
be three per cent, or total of $1,18S
for those 80 years.
With these payments, James Jones
will have paid $1,44O in As years. At
the same time, his employer will have
been matching his tax payments so
that the total paid to the treasury
will be $3.50. At Is James Jones can
expect to live perhaps ten years
more. If he does, he will get back
$6,450.
Some Paid Back
When James Jones dies his average
annual salary will be multiplied by
the number of years he paid taxes.
In other words, if he dies after he has
paid taxes for 45 years, $1,000 will
be multiplied by as, giving total Of
$4,000. Arbitrarily, the bill stipu-
lates that James Jones' estate shall
be entitled three and half per cent
of that, or $1,890-less any amount
he received in pensions before he died.
If Jones dies before he gets back
1880 in pensions, what he actually
received is deducted from $3.50 and
the balance paid the heirs. If he lives
until he gets back all of the $3.50
and more his heirs get nothing. If
Jones should die before he reches IS,
his heirs would be entitled to pay
ment of three and a half per cent of
the total wages on which taxes had
been paid.

in Baltimore
Sponsored A1rnas

When Potentate Whitney w.
Jones, of Boumi Temple of the
Mystic Shrine of Baltimore, leads
his Shriners to the Capital to join
in the frolic of the annual con-
vention, it will have a particular
meaning. For Boumi Temple was
sponsor for Almas Temple of
Washington just half a century
ago.
Boumi, of Baltimore, was char
tered in 1884, sponsored by Lu Lu
Temple of Philadelphia. And as
soon as the Baltimore Temple was
under way, Washington citizens
decided they wanted to establish
a temple here.
So in December, 1885, a group
of Baltimore mobiles came to the
Capital, talked things over and
agreed to sponsor a temple here.
A few days later the Washington
group went to Baltimore and plans
were laid for establishing the
local temple.
