BALTIMORE, September 7.-All
plans Of the Federal Housing Admins
tration for construction Of low-rental
housing projects In Baltimore and for
slum clearance have been abandoned.
The administration had allocated ST.
TOO 900 for Baltimore projects and had
made $2.700, 900 OF this available for
expenditure. 1t has now decided to
eliminate Baltimore from its program.
This action followed a conference
earlier this week between represen-
tatives of the Real Estate Board, Of
ficials of the Maryland administration
and Mayor Jackson.
The Real Estate Board opposed the
project on the ground that it would be
detrimental to property owners and
only drive the residents Of the slums
from one section to another.

cided that certain measures OF CO.

Garden Notes

THE common barberry, Berberls
L. vulgaris. as the alternate host
for the rust disease of wheat, has been
the indirect cause of great losses to
humanity. This plant was introduced
by the early ColoniStS, who valued It's
fruit and were unaware OF its relation
to wheat rust. Very fortunately, not
all the barberries are attacked by the
rust. The japanese barberry, B.
thumbergi is safe and is much su-
perior to the common barberry for
gardening purposes. There are at
least three forms of Japanese bar
berry available, the common green leaf
form, the purple leaf variety and the
box barberry, a dwarf form which can
tbe trimmed down to 6 inches If so
desired. In several ways the Japa-
nese barberry surpasses privet; 1t Is
more hardy, it requires less trimming
and it bears a crop Of attractive red
berries in late Autumn.
Shortly it will be time for planting
bulbs for Spring. In fact, narciSsus
bulbs should be going into the soil
as soon as possible now for they begin
root growth about this season. Tulips
do not usually start until october and
their planting can be delayed.
Some gardeners place double
handful of bone meal below their iris
and peony plants when resetting them.
This material furnishes a slowly
available supply of nutrients that will
last a year or more. Some of the
older gardeners may remember when
1t was advised to place old bones be-
meath grape vines and other fruit
plants. There was probably a basis
of fact underlying this old procedure.
Dahlias are beginning to bloom and
all home gardeners rejoice in the re-
turn of this grand Autumn flower. 1t
is exceedingly fortunate that there
are some distinctive Autumn species
like the dahia, chrysanthemum and
hardy asters. Otherwise the Autumn
garden would have no special appeal.
Among evergreens that can endure
dry soils and may even be said to en-
Joy this environment are the common
red cedar. Scotch pine, Colorado
spruce and Mugho pine.
A rather unique device for labelling
plants is that in which the name is
written on small piece of paper and
this inserted in a small phial, corked
tightly and attached to the plant.
g. Practically all varieties of pears
lose quality if permitted to ripen fully
on the tree. The fruit should be
picked when full sized and just be-
ginning to color and laid away in a
moderately cool. dark location such as
shelf in the cellar. Even the much
despised Kieffer pear is improved
greatly if ripened under controlled
conditions. In paper in the 1888
proceedings of the American Society
for Horticultural Science three De-
partment of Agriculture workers re-
ported that while Kieffer pears rip
ened at so degrees F. generally were
not equal in quality to Bartlett pears
they were not greatly inferior"

HOW TO MIX COL0RS

BY mixing the primary colors (red.
yellow and blue) in various propor-
tions most colors can be obtained.
Mixing all three primary colors in
equal parts gives a neutral color. By
mixing any two of the three primary
colors in proper proportion the COM
Elementary or secondary color results.
For instance, mixing blue and yellow
will produce green, which is the COM
Elementary color to red. Yellow and
red produce orange. which is the COM
plement OF blue. while red and blue
produce violet, the complement of
yellow.
If the paint or enamel you have
purchased is not the exact tint or
shade you wish, remember that you
can tighten any color by adding white
or darken any shade by adding black
To lessen the brilliance OF a color add
its complement-blue to orange, green
to red or yellow to violet.

LAMPBLACK ON BRICKS

If the rough brickwork and mortar
of your fireplace is brazen in its new
ness-or if only part of the brickwork
is blackened with smoke and you'd
like to have it all dark-here's what
you can do. Mix lampblack with
kerosene and spray it onto the bricks
with a small spray gun-such as you
use for numbering mosquitoes. Be
careful to stand sufficient distance
from the brick so that the spray
doesn't land in splotches. Drift" the
solution on so that it has the appear

SAVINGS GROUPS
. LOAN LARGE SUM
$e,690,519 Advanced in
July by 658 Federal
Associations.

Long term home mortgage loans to-
falling S8,690,5l9 were made IN July oy
65s Federal savings and loan asso-
Citations throughout the country, an
increase of IL per cent over the vol
ume of lending during the previous
month. The activities of some 250
other Federal associations. more re-
Gently chartered, are not included In
the report.
OF this amount. 43.2 per cent was
advanced for refinancing existing
mortgages, 24.5 per cent for new con-
struction, 23S per cent for home pur-
chases and 85 per cent for recondi-
tioning. Since January, 1885. when
comparative loan figures for Federal
associations became available, there
has been an almost unvarying In
crease in the proportion of the total
designated for purposes of new con-
struction and purchase of homes,
which is a reflection of the rapidly
rising figures for residential building
in the United States this year. Over
the same period the percentage Of
the total of loans for refinancing pur-
poses has constantly declined, indi-
eating an improved financial condi-
tion of home owners generally.
Both new and formerly State-char-
tered associations in July registered
gain over the volume of loans con-
summated in June. The 658 listed
associations reported Sl72,172,268 in
outstanding mortgage loans as of July
81, an increase of AZ per cent over
the total at the end of the previous
month.
During the month share purchases
by private investors in these report
ing associations totaled $3,570,335.
The month -by-month increase in
: loan figures and share purchases is
interpreted as evidence of the public
desire to use the me-flnancing
credit provided by the associations
and of the associations efforts to
meet the demands of their COM
munities, as we'll as the success of
federally supervised insurance of
shares in attracting new investors to
these associations.

Border Parks.

Secretary OF the Interior 1ckeS has
announced a plan for the creation of
great national park in Southwestern
Texas bordering the Mexican line, and
it is understood that he is consider
ing similar project for Northern
Michigan paralleling the Canadian
boundary. The hope and expectation
Is that Mexico and Canada, respec-
lively. will respond in kind, establish
ing like reservations and thus CO.
operating in new variety of inter-
national amity and harmony.
OF course. there is ample precedent
for any such design. International
roads, railways, bridges, telephone
and telegraph systems, ETC., are COM
mon ties between nations; interna-
tional cables, postal exchanges and
radio are being operated with success,
and international air transport net
works are being developed with in
creasing efficiency and profit to all
concerned. The whole planet, it
seems indicated, gradually is being
integrated by science, art and COM
merce.
But the spiritual significance of the
trend perhaps has not been suf1-
ciently stressed. Granted that there
are numerous economic and political
differences between peoples and that
many observers prophesy a repetition
of the cataclysmic disaster of 1914
1918, it still should be remembered
that centripetal as well as centrifugal
forces are operative among men-the
masses of humanity are being drawn
together, it may be, quite as definitely
as they are being forced apart.
And play is one of the ties that
bind. Back of the revived Olympic
games, the international yacht races
and the international tennis, golf and
polo matches there is a psychology of
democratic friendship, certain recog-
milton of fundamental equality which
must be exceedingly irritating to the
professional war-mongers. but which
those who desire universal peace must
find comforting to see. Nations which
share in recreational occupations be-
come comrades in that particular at
least, and the understanding so initi-
ated may lead to more inclusive asso-
citation.
Mr.. Ickes' border parks, then, will
have double value. They will result
in the preservation Of beautiful tracts
of forest land, and each such sanctuary
will be a gesture of international good
will. The two plans, surely, will have
popular APPROVAL.

In the long run the Senate has
way of placing its members in their

slowly at times, but they do grind.
The lack of restraint upon debate,
the privilege which is accorded Sena-

without fear Of suit for libel, initiate
against orderly procedure at times;
and issues of great import are laid
aside while the animosities, the am
bitions and the foibles of some Sena-

Herr Hitler Has a Cold.

What Europe since time imme-
mortal has known as diplomatic ill
ness" which is another name for
convenient alibi, has ON innumerable
occasions played an important role in
international politics. An apparently
unmistakable case Of diplomatic ILL
ness" has just broken out in Berlin
and threatens to become one of the
most notable attacks of the kind on
contemporary record, with conse-
quences of profound effect upon the
ailing cause of European peace.
Fuehrer Hitler has cold.
For weeks the stage was set for
visit to Germany tomorrow by British
Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon
and his disarmament expert, Capt.
Anthony Eden. They were to go in
response to a suggestion by the Reich
government that the Germans would
welcome direct negotiations with the
British regarding the Anglo-French
program for European pacification
Last Monday, on the very eve of the
British statesmen's trip, Prime Min
lister Macdonald submitted to Par
lament a white paper on the arma-
ments situation, foreshadowing Brit
aims intention to expand her defens-
i've establishment at every point, voic-
ing lack of faith in existing inter-
national peace preserving machinery,
and stressing Germanys menacing re-
armament maneuvers.
The repercuSsion in Berlin was i'm
mediate. 1t was announced that Herr
Hitler is suffering from a cold and ag-
gravated hoarseness, and in conse-
quence had requested indefinite post
ponement of Sir John Simon's visit.
It was known that the Fuehrer had
subjected himself to exposure while
reviewing troops in the Saar on March
/. but as late as last Sunday he was
visiting the Berlin automobile show,
and, according to press photographs,
animatedly discussing the exhibits
with his encourage.
At any rate, according to the rec
ord. the Nazi chieftain is too indis-
posed to receive at this time the
august tourists from the other side of
the North Sea- Doubt is expressed in
London whether the visit now will
ever take place at all The German
press reverberates with bitter criticism
of the British white paper and resent
ment of the reflections it casts upon
the Reichs armament activities.
However real or unreal Hitler's
laryngological disturbances may be,
the sudden abandonment of the ST.
mon-Eden trip has produced a diplo-
matte chill of the first magnitude. If
current suspicious in London and
Paris-that the wilhelmstrasse in
tended deliberately to snub Downing
Street-turn out to be we'll founded.
Europe's laborious efforts to stumble
toward peace under ever-increaSing
burdens of armaments will have suf-
fernd a ecvore snthack
