With an eye to more favorable
conditions next year and the antici-
pated larger demand. producers are
moving to supplant existing equip
ment with the latest type of ma
chinery wherever possible.
In that respect, the manufacturers
of automobile bodies and of acces-
series generally are keeping pace
with the major companies.
The whole aim Of machine re-
placement is to further eliminate
lost motion. With that end in view
the Toledo Machine and Tool Co.
a subsidiary of the E. w. Bliss Co.
is casting a Aston body stamping
press.
This machine, when completed
and installed, will, it is said, be
capable of turning out practically a
complete automobile body in a sin
gle operation.
The machine itself, is being cast
in a single operation involving the
pouring of nearly fifty tons of mol.
ten metal into a huge mould.

Having got silver prices UP to
levels shutting off the natural de-
mand. it has to keep on buying to
hold them there. In continuing this
buying it has two alternatives. 1t
can adopt a moderate policy of not
forcing the price. merely taking
what silver is offered, in which case
it can probably support the market
for some time to come. Or it can
raise the price rapidly toward S129
an ounce, and run the risk of being
swamped by silver from the Far
East.
In either case, however, the end
of the buying program must come
eventually as the United States can
not go on indefinitely diluting its
reserves with silver and expect to
remain on the gold standard. And
when the United States stops buy
ing a heavy price decline seems I'M
avOidable. There is no reason to
suppose that any other government
will take on the job of bolstering
the market.
1T seems clear that for more than
a year this country has been follow
ing a policy that is destroying the
natural markets for silver. BY rails

plies from all corners of the globe,
it has encouraged the use of other
metals in coinage and in the arts.

the use of silver money to paper,

to prevent it. Sykes had killer IN
stincts, but he didn't dare risk facing
the four armed men.
After they had gone he cursed loud
and long and promised all sorts of re-
venge on the "gal" who had brought
the officers down on his cache and
cost him loss of around ten thousand.
Jim was worried. 1t occurred to
him that this rum runner, finding his
liquor gone, would suspect him of
squealing and would come back for re-
venge. Jim had no idea that the men
were there and in hiding all the time.
He gave Nose an automatic and took
one himself.
When night came he was so nervous
that he decided to go over to the clear
ing. Something might happen or Jes-
sica might try to get away on the
yacht. He simply had to keep in touch
with her now until his deed came.
Armed with this proof, he felt that
all would be well.
He didn't have to awaken Nose.
The colored boy was too scared to
sleep. He was sitting inside the cook
tent with the automatic on his knees,
ready to shoot at the first thing that
appeared.
And meanwhile Sykes and his two
men had come stealthily through the
woods to find the bungalow. They
knew, from the conversations they
overheard, that the girl who had found
their cache and squealed was doubtless
in that vicinity.
Jim hadn't arrived. He was taking
his time, trying to plan the best way
to approach Jessica once he got his
deed in his hand.

as they saw the bungalow, "we'll burn

Red Cedar Rust.
One Of the most difficult fungus
troubles that the suburban gardener
has to contend with is cedar rust Of
the apple and allied forms, such as
Towering crabs. This strange organ
ism spends about three months of its
life on the apple, being brought hence
by the wind from red cedar trees as
far away as l to 2 miles. For
tunately enough. the red cedar Is the
only evergreen attacked by the fun
gus. The first appearace on apple
leaves is in small light yellow spots
which gradually enlarge and take on
an orange hue. Beneath these spots
on the under surface of the leaves
there may be observed cup-like struc-
lures in which are produced spores
which about this season are carried
back to the cedars where the life his
tory begins over again. On the apple,
when infection is general, the tree
may become practically defoliated.
Control by spraying is not practicable
because Of the great number of spores
and the long period in which they
are produced on the cedar. The only

white blooms suffused with pink
There are many more species. For
example, in L. H Bailey's Hortus one
finds listed II distinct species, one OF
which. H petiolaris. is vine reaching
so feet in length when given adequate
support. OF the three better known
species. two, the hortensia and the
paniculata. are natives of China and
Japan, the third, arborescens, is a
native of the Eastern United States.
The culture of hydrangeas is not
difficult as may be indicated in their
widespread utilization. The plants
grow best in a good porous garden
soil we'll supplied with moisture. 1t
is only in seasons Of abundant rains
that one sees the fine large flower
heads that have made the family so
popular. The hortensia group responds
peculiarly to soil acidity and in highly
acid soils the normally pink blooms
become clear blue in color. The
gardener may obviously influence this
tendency by lining or acidifying the
soil in which the plants are growing
The insect and fungus enemies are
very few and one does not often hear
of difficulties from these sources.
The paniculata hydrangea, sometimes
known simply as the P. G. hydrangea,
requires severe pruning in the early
Spring to force the vigorous shoots
that later in the season will produce
fine large blooms if the plants are
watered freely and fertilized with
stable manure or complete commercial
fertilizer. One rarely finds seeds in
the cultivated hydrangeas for the
flowers are usually sterile.
Stem Roofing in Lilies.
The most vigorous species Of the
garden lilies are strongly stem-rooting,
that is, send out roots from that por-
ton of the flower stalk that is beneath
the soil. Included in the group are
auratum. Henryi. speciosum, Hum
boldtii, regale, croceum, tigrinum. sui
phureum, superbum and canadense.
AS the mass of roots grow through the
upper soil they naturally exhaust its
fertility and it becomes important to

Gated that the gymnasia each would

In a wholly separate building an
auditorium would be erected, and.
while the same reticent parks Office
officials declined to be definite as to
size. there was assurance that the
building would have seating capacity
larger than anything now in Wash

The largest auditorium in the city
at present is the Washington Audi
torium. which has seating capacity
of $500 individuals. The proposed
municipal structure would be even
larger than that and would have
the usual additional halls and rooms
Of sufficient size for expositionS and
exhibitions.
Site Is Not Revealed.
Parks Office officials have definitely
selected the tract of land that will
be made the site of the stadium,
armory and auditorium, but have de-
clined to point it out, for the obvious
reason that property owners may ad-
vance their prices.
1t was made known, however. that
between 300 and 500 acres would be
required, and that the portions that
cannot be purchased through direct
negotiations with the present owners
would be sought through legal con-
demnation proceedings.
Financing of the plan has not yet
been made public, but it is expected
that Secretary of the Interior Ickes,
head Of the National Parks Service,
and also public works administrator.
may be prevailed upon as Interior
chief to requisition the necessary
funds from the Public Works Ad-
ministration.
Although definite architectural
plans are being made, no approximate
date for the project has been an
nounced.

Rose plants, such as purchased from
established nurseries. consist of two
parts, namely, strong growing root
stock and top Of some known variety
budded on to the rootstock. The two
are united into one plant, yet there is
no blending of characters, the plant
being essentially combination of two
separate plants. The budding is done
in July or August when the bark on
the rootstock plant will slip, that is,
will separate easily from the underly-
ing wood. There is no peculiar secret
to budding, yet it takes plenty Of prac-
tice to become a skillful and rapid
worker. 1t is absolutely essential that
the active growing tissues, known as
cambium, of the stock and bud be
brought into contact. for it is the
union of these tissues that makes pos
sible the new plant. In rose budding,
no wax is used to seal the wound; it
is simply wrapped with a single tie OF
raffia to hold the bud in place. Buds
placed at this season will not start
to grow until next Spring, but one can
tell in few days whether the union
has been successful by the plumpness
and appearance of the bud.
For the average home gardener,
budding has no special interest be-
cause it is more practical to purchase
plants from the trained nurseryman.
However, it is interesting to know ones
material, and it is important in Winter
protection to realize that the wood
above the bud must be covered with
soil or mulch because II the bud Is
killed the root can only send up In
ferior shoots of its own kind.
There will always be a few enter
prising home gardeners who will wish
to try their hand at budding and
grating and these may be referred to

ton Of Trees and Shrubs" by Guy E.
Yerkes, or to A. C. Hotties book,

for a nominal charge.
The Hydrangea Group.
At least three different types Of
hydrangeas are well known to local
home gardeners, namely, the hor-
tensias with their pink or blue flowers,
the arborescens or hills of snow and

really effective treatment consists in
cutting down the red cedars and this
has actually been done in certain
apple growing districts. Bechtels
Towering crab is very susceptible to
cedar rust and so are the Jonathan,
York Imperial and Rome Beauty
apples.
Weed Seed vitality.
Sometimes the home gardener Is
surprised at the appearance in his
garden Of certain weeds that he had
believed exterminated by diligent cul-
ture. II no stable manure had been
applied, the wonderment Is all the
greater. However, 1t is altogether
possible that the seeds buried deeply
in the soil have simply been brought
up with the spading fork TO favor
able growing level. In 1902 the De-
partment of Agriculture buried seeds
OF lot different species in porus pots.
At repeated intervals these pots were
dug up and termination tests made.
Twenty years later seed Of 81 Of the
l07 species still gave some germina-
tion, leading the author, w. L. Goss,
to suggest that ANY attempt to con-
troll weeds which have gone to seed
by plowing them under Is evidently
futile" The home gardener can ap-
preciate the lesson conveyed, namely,
that weeds should be destroyed before
they go to seed and, even though
seeds are brought up in the spading,
1t will be only a matter Of time when
complete weed freedom will obtain.
Among the 81 species that grew
after 20 years were yellow nut grass,
smartweed, curled dock, broad -leaved
dock, lambs quarter, purslane, black
mustard, evening primrose, broad and
common plantains and ragweed. Very
few useful species survived, but Ken
lucky bluegrass, sugar beet, white
clover and tobacco were exceptions.
Garden Notes.
Drought is again a problem in local
gardens. except those which are small
and have abundant facilities for wa
tering. Many home gardeners can
not afford to use metered water and
Evening star., 1935-08-10

the result Is that the garden must
suffer. For the average garden In
this vicinity there are really two i'm
portant growing seasons each year,
that is, Spring and Autumn, with
Summer often a period of more or
less stagnation. Fortunately there
are some species, such as the Einnia,
petunia, portulaca and nicotiana or
Towering tobacco, that are fairly well
adapted to dry soils. For the home
gardener with abundant water, dry,
warm periods are really helpful.
Plant diseases are at minimum and
one has much better control Of the
environment than In rainy, cool pc
RODS. American horticulture Is still
relatively young as compared. for ex-
ample, with European, and IL is only
logical to believe that In time Ameri-
cans will develop the use Of more
plants adapted to our Summers.
There is little use in applying ferti-
lizer to dry soil and may, in fact.
do some injury to the plants that
one is trying to benefit. Fertilizers

and If there is only little water the
solution may be SO concentrated as to
cause injury to the young roots.
Theoretically, one might expect that
a plant, for example, an apple tree,
should grow a whole lot larger and
faster in this region than farther
north. Here the growing season is
murh longer. However, the greater
amount of heat here, particularly in
the nights, tends to speed up the
plants use Of foods In respiration and
and this probably offsets the benefits
of the longer growing period.
Last weeks column told something
of ways and means of controlling
gladiolus thrips That the problem
is critical is attested by the fact that
one of the best local gladiolus grow
ers admits that he was unable to
fully check this pest this year even
with consistent spraying. However
with the several research men now
working on the insect, there is likely
to be developed really successful
means of control.

TAX HELD BLOW
TO REALTY VALUE
Inheritance Levy Believed
Likely to Clog Up Sale
Channels.

Attacking the inheritance tax pro-
visions Of the pending administration
tax bill. Walter S. Schmidt, Cincin-
natl, president of the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards, charged
that the measure would cause heavy
realty losses and market clogging
through forced liquidations.
In a statement this week, he pointed
out that real estate, by its very nature,
Is susceptible Of huge losses under a
forced liquidation program. The pend
ing bill, he said, fails to make any
regular or dependable provision for
the orderly liquidation of estates COM
posed largely of realty where holdings
must be sold to meet the levies.
Delay Held Impracticable.
Payment of the taxes is due within
Is months of death of decedent, he
continued. The commissioner of in
ternal revenue at his discretion may
extend the payment time for as much
as 10 years from the due date where
hardship would otherwise be entailed.
The public interest demands, how
ever, that orderly liquidation be as
sured, rather than be obtainable only
at commissioners consent, where
large estates may be made up chiefly
of real etsate and where the real
estate must be sold to pay the levy.
Provision should be made in the
law itself whereby owners and mort
gage lenders may be assured that no
sudden dumping of great estate,
coming at a depression period, will
clog the local real estate market. While
details Of such a regular time
extension for real estate liquidation
might well be left to administrative
regulation, a specific provision re-
quiring the commissioner to set up
such regulations should be written into
the law itself.
Interest Costs Cited.
"The bill already provides that in
terest be paid on extended payments,
thus conserving the public interest
with respect to tax returns. Interest
is set at per cent a year for the
first three years from the expiration
of six months after the due date of
the tax, and at the rate of 6 per cent
year thereafter to the date of eX-
piration of the period of extension.
The association, which has pro-
tested against haste in the enactment
OF any major Federal tax measure, has
consistently held that Federal and
State tax policy should be worked
out in cooperation, and has twice
formally petitioned for a national tax
conference to include representation
not only of national. State and local
tax officials (tax-spenders) but of
principal tax-paying groups also, to
work out suggestions to this end"

PACKERS MONOPOLY
CHARGE IS SECUTED
Attorney Says Governments
Claim of Price Control Has
COLLAPSED.
BY the Associated Press.

Asserting 1913 Government and 500
defense witnesses had nothing but
commendation Of packers methods of
doing business, Frank ]. Glankler,
Memphis attorney, tooay fatty denied
charges of monopoly against IL meat
packing companies.
In a hearing before Secretary Wal
lact, Glankler charged the Govern
ment's case against the IL companies
had folded up" and that the record
of more than $4,000 cases, taken over a
period of year, contained no evidence
of price-fixing.
The companies were accused. in
complaint by Wallace, of combining to
control prices in Arkansas, Texas, Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Alabama, from
1927 through 1893. Glankler declared
that all evidence had been taken from
small, restricted areas in Mississippi
and Alabama and involved only few
weeks in 1880 and 1882.
Final rebuttal arguments of Govern
ment attorneys have been set for to-
morrow.
