A Native Son.

Reverend Father Arthur A. OLeary
appointed president of Georgetown Uni
versity to succeed Reverend Doctor Cole
man Neyils, is described in Star story
of yesterday as "the son of native son
of Washington" His father served for
half a century with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, dying not long ago shortly
after his retirement He must have lived
to ripe age. Yet, when the elder
OLeary was born in Washington,
Georgetown was then an old institution,
as age is measured in this country. And
in the 146 years of its existence, no
Washingtonian has ever before attained
the distinction of serving as its president.
There are several explanations. Early
presidents were sent to Georgetown from
abroad; two of them came from Santo
Domingo. There is a tradition, dating
from the institutions foundation by
Archbishop Carroll of Maryland, which
has bound strong ties with Maryland
and which may account partially for the
fact that Maryland has furnished six
of the thirty-two past presidents. But
the Jesuit order is world wide: its execu-
tive material is drawn from the world.
It was founded by soodier- -adventurer,
and military discipline, with minimum
of sentiment, has always prevailed.
The community will take pride in the
elevation of one of its native sons to the
presidency of its oldest educational in
stitution. And while military discipline
is one of the marks of the order, seniority
has no place in the dictation Of assign
ments. DR.. Nevils refers to the fact that
I'VE are like soldiers and take our orders
as they come" But there is a signal
honor in having been selected from the
ranks, as it were, and elevated to the
presidency of the oldest Catholic uni
versity in America.
To Dr. Nevils, who sewers his connec-
ton with Georgetown after long and
pleasant relationship with Washington.
the community extends its best wishes
for his continued service in other fields

Sir Ronald Lindsay, British AmbaS-
sador to the United States, plans to go
home for his annual leave of absence
in August. He apparently decided to
bear with Washington's Midsummer
climate, in order to await the outcome
of the congressional session. Command
of the foreign Office having been trans
ferred to other hands since Sir Ronald
was last in London, he is anxious
to discuss Anglo-American relations
with his new chief, Sir Samuel Hoare.
Currency Stabilization, the Far Eastern
situation, war debts and naval imita-
ton are issues in which John Bull and
Uncle Sam retain mutual interest, but
no fresh developments in any of those
fields are in sight.
Edward F. Hutton, chairman OF Gen.
eral Foods Corporation, calls upon busi-
ness men and corporation executives to
organize Nationwide resistance to
excessive" taxation of wealth and in
dustry. It sounds like the opening gun
in the barrage of protests destined to
echo through Washington as soon as
House and Senate committees open
hearings on the wealth-tax program.
Mr.. Hutton says the keynote OF the
business drive against "Soak-the-rich"
taxes should be: Save American insti-
tutions and the profit-and-loss system. y

Herbert Hoover's reported intention
soon formally to withdraw from the 1886
presidential race evokes the enthusiastic
approval of most G. o. P. leaders. They
admit that even such a renunciation
might not finally eliminate the Cali
fornian from consideration. They mean
that If a popular movement in his favor
should develop, he would still loom as a
serious possibility, despite any I-do-not-
choose -to-run pronouncement., Hoover
was never the candidate Of Republican
leaders. He always staked his presiden-
tial availability on public sentiment
rather than organization favor. Many
of his friends hold that unlikely as such
prospect is at the moment, call"
for Hoover Is within the range Of the
thinkable, and that should it come, he
would unheSitatingly respond to it. His
forthcoming statement may make that
clear. If "the chief" could name the
next Republican nominee, it's most COM
monty thought that his choice would be
Ogden L. Mills. Some say he fancies
Col. Frank Knox.

Opening the Gold Drawer

The Treasurys announcement OF
plans to use Immediately $l00,000.00O of
its profit" from reduction of the gold
content of the dollar, in retirement OF
Government bonds supporting national
bank notes, also to be retired from cir
culation, recalls Secretary MorgenthauS
allusions to the gold profit in his radio
debut Of last August.
At that time the Secretary, in an un-
usual explanation of the Governments
fiscal condition, picturesquely referred
to the Governments various "cash
drawers" which carry "our working capl-
tai" In the drawer which II will call
the gold drawer = is the very large
sum of $4,000, ,o00o 900, representing profit
from the change In the gold content OF
the dollar" Explaining that the Gov
ernment did not intend to deduct the
gold profit from the net debt to show
q paper reduction of the debt, the Sec
retary continued: For the present this
$4,000, 900 900 is under lock and key.
Most Of it, by authority of Congress, is
segregated in the so-called stabilization
fund and for the time being we pro-
pose to keep it there. But I call your
attention to the fact that ultimately we
expect this profit to f1ow back into the
stream Of our other revenues and there
by reduce the national debt"
Now Mr.. Morgenthau has turned the
key in the gold drawer and withdrawn
an initial $10O,OO0000 for retirement Of
certain bonds. This means paying OF

Probing the Lobbies.

For the first time the House OF Rep
resentatives has authorized an investi-
CATION of lobbying" by the executive
branch of the Government. In the past
there have been important investigations
of the lobbying activities of private in
dividuals and private interests. But the
present investigation is something new.
It grows directly out of charges made on
the floor of the House by Representative
Ralph o. Brewster Republican, OF Maine,
employed in the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, had threatened to halt con-
struction on the Passamaquoddy Dam, IN
Mr.. Brewster's congressional district.
unless Brewster voted with the Presi-
dent on the utility holding company
bill. Corcoran was described by Brewster
as co-author of the administrators
holding company bill with Benjamin V.
Cohen, general counsel for the Power
Policy Committee in the P. w. A.
The charge made by Mr.. Brewster is
serious. 1t brings into the open the
repeated rumors that the administra-
ton has sought to put pressure upon
members of the House to vote as the
President desired them to vote on the
so-called death sentence" clause OF the
holding company bill. Earlier IN the
debate Representative Hoeppel OF Call
fornia, a Democrat, read to the House
a telegram he had received from the
Democratic State chairman, calling upon
him to vote with the President. The
Californian also told the House that
he had learned from a source which
will not divulge" that if he voted with
the President the relief funds Tor Call
fornia would be more liberal.
The applause which greeted Mr..
Brewster's statement came from both
sides of the House. Members on the
Democratic side of the chamber have
been subject to great pressure from ad-
ininistration sources, not alone on this
measure, but on others which have come
up for consideration. Probably some OF
them would like to free themselves OF
such importuning. If reports can be
credited the lobbying by the administra-
ton on the holding company bill has
exceeded anything that has been at
tempted in the past along this line.
If relief funds and work-relief prof.
ects are used as clubs to force recalci-
trant members of Congress into line, it
is time the country knew something about
it. The Rules Committee of the House
is instructed under the resolution adopt
ed to inquire into all lobbying in connec-
ton with the holding company bill, both
for and against the death sentence
clause, which was Overwhelmingly de-
feated yesterday, despite the demand OF
President Roosevelt that it be adopted.
Members OF the House, if they have been
approached, may have difficulty produc-
ing corroborative evidence. Threats OF
such character are not likely to be made
In the presence of witnesses.
The inquiry should be prosecuted with
vigor, in all fairness to the House men,
bers. 1t is only fair also to the admin
istration that these charges be run down,
and certainly in fairness to President
Roosevelt. If unauthorized "spokes-
men" for the Chief Executive have been
talking out of turn, they should be ex-
posed.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Now come those days in the garden
when warmth and humidity conspire to
promote the general welfare Of insects
and blights of various kinds.
There is black spot on the rose, mildew
on the phlox red spider on the spruce.
These are but three Of the ever-in-
creasing list of menaces to plant life,
enemies against which the home gar
dener must wage eternal warfare.
Some little study Is necessary in order
to determine the various types, and to
use the proper sort Of control measures.
Spraying with plain clear water Is
good for the red spider, If pains is taken
to direct the spray upward, to knock the
pests of the underneath sides Of boughS.
There are other sprays, almost as sim
pie, which, with q little mixing, will do
the job for other plant enemies.
~ +
What many amateurs do not keep in
mind is that one spraying is not enough.
Rosarians say that busting for black
spot ought to be done regularly once a
week, If real results are to be expected.
Fortunately, such persistence, in the
face OF the enemy, is not so necessary
with other blights and diseases.
One good spraying, now and then,
which may mean anything from two
weeks to a month, is usually enough
for good average control.
The various wits and blights and
rusts which afflict such things as holly
hooks and others will respond marvel
ouSly to one treatment of the right sort.
There can be little gainSaying that this
demand for persistent warfare takes a
great deal of the pleasure out of gar
dening for a good many.
These are not necessarily lazy persons
in any sense Of the word, but simply
those who honestly do not enjoy this
type Of work.
If they do not, Of course, they cannot
make the highest type gardeners.
Fortunately they make very good
1t is from this group that the So
called average gardeners are recruited,
and it is a marvelously instructive lesson
their gardens often teach.
Every one has seen the yard of some
man or woman who knew next to moth
ing about the scientific names of plants,
yet managed to have as nice a place
as any one could desire.
What does this show, that knowledge
Is worthless?
Not at all, although one sometimes
meets a person who so holds.
What it shows Is that Nature is as
great as ever.
Even if insects and fungi attack
growing plants, Nature has endowed
many Of them with enough resistance
to weather the storm.
The miracle Of plant growth continues
in the garden, despite the ignorance Of
the owner of it, or even of the names
Of his plants.
The pleasure that comes to the
knower, in his knowing, must never be
overlooked. 1t is quite as potent in
the garden as elsewhere. Some little
understanding of Nature, and what she
does, and how she does it, is an in
visible boon that requires no advertise
ment. 1t is known to every one who
puts little time and thought into any
one of many branches of Nature study.
There is no snobbery here, but simply
an honest realization that possession
does not always mean ownership. The
fruits of knowledge are worth while, even
if they do not bring fame or fortune.
*x* u
The rudiments of garden culture are
easily learned.
Sometimes one may think that too
Evening star., 1935-07-03

much knowledge, here as elsewhere,
simply lets holder in for a complica-
ton which bothers him and does his
plants little good.
A wide and intensive knowledge of
soils, for instance, often will not result
in any better blooms. The growing is
done in the ground, after all, and If the
soil is any good at all Mother Nature
will make the best Of it. She has to.
Careful chemical analysis Of insecti-
cides and fungicides is necessary for
those engaged in their manufacture, and
those governmental agencies occupied
with the control thereof, but for the
average home gardener such analysis is
mostly something to worry about; "a pain
in the neck" as he may say.
1t is surprising what a large amount
of insect execution may be done with
most of the average sprays on the
market, If the user Is careful to do a
thorough job.
1t Is here that the material used often
gets wrongly accused of being inefficient,
whereas the true blame should go on the
wielder of the sprayer. If the latter Is
of the hand type, it is one of the most
strenuous instruments OF the garden.
Many strong man has wilted at the
task. The use of the larger compressed
sprayers is helpful, but often the prep
aration of such quantity of liquid is
somewhat of a nuisance.
Even at the best, not much will be
accomplished unless the one doing the
spraying goes to the trouble of spraying
upward through the leaves, in genuine
attempt to hit the undersurfaces.
1iv,o nf vi n
den leaf will show that the bulk of the
harm is done on the underside. When
it shows from the top it is too late.
How many home gardeners are ac-
quainted with humuS, the black type
sold in bags?
This material will cover up multi
tude of garden sins, especially at this
time, when bare spots are likely to show
in the lawn, and flower borders show
red with clay.
A little humus, right out of the old
bag, will do wonders toward making a
garden look the way one wants it to
look.
This is nothing more than to say that
the garden receives little beauty
treatment.
The spots are in the lawn, just the
same, but the humus tends to cover
them up, and make them unnoticeable.
The color of the material is what
does it.
Most persons possess, in the back of
their minds, whether gardeners or not, a
deep-seated belief, probably coming
down through the ages, that dirt ought
to be black.
If black earth shows, here and there,
1t is accepted even by the most critical,
but if a red color, as of clay, or gray
tint, as of some of our alkaline soils,
shows in a garden, it makes note
which is discordant even to the most
uncritical eye.
Often we do not realize Just what
it is, in given garden, which strikes
a wrong note. Often it is just this,
that we see too much red soil, where
black is what the eye desires.
Many of the good rich earths'' sold
for this very purpose are not as black
as some of us want, but humus, gath
cred out of some lake bed, is of just
the right shade of natural black to mix
well with greens of all types, and flower
tints of various sorts.
Appearance Is not all, however, for
humus, if put on properly, not too thick,
will do a fine job of mulching and
building up the soil at one and the
same time.

Government obligations with money
made by reducing the gold value Of the
dollar, but the process will doubtless be
considered sound and not inf1ationary.
The Government plans to withdraw from
circulation about half a billion dollars
in national bank notes by retiring bonds
of the same amount against which they
were issued. Additional gold profit"
funds will probably be used as the re-
tirement of the bonds proceeds.

A placid and sweet disposition

To kindle patriot fire.

The Exquisite Look

So many things contribute to her grace

The way her hair is combed back from

The sweep of lashes that enhance her

Her skin, pure as the lining Of shell.
Her mouth, too exquisite for idle
mirth--
And as she passes there is naught to ten
Except that loneliness Is rare on earth.
