Lincoln gave him many assignments
of that character. He engineered an
untold number Of plots against the Con-

tudinous series of schemes against
the Union. Hence, some Of the legends
which cluster around his shadowy figure

many as hundred residents Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia ever have heard his

Probably not even Harry Hopkins w. P.

But the effort might be worth while.
It might help merely to ascertain with
some degree Of positive accuracy that
no dossier relating to him exists in any

"Knock, Knock" :"

In June each year no wise American
can tell what the ultimate Summer silli-
ness will be.
No man can tell at the beginning of
the silly season what will prevail in
August.
This year it is the KNOCK knock" that
recrudescence Of twisted English which
was born years ago on the burlesque
stage, from which has sprung much real
humor.
The "knock knock" as most people
now know, consists of so twisting given
name that it makes the first part of
a sentence. Naturally, it appeals to the
children, but just as naturally it seems
to catch their elders at last, so that by
this time everybody's doing it, nobody
knows exactly why, except that. it is
amusing.
Two Summers ago it was the chain

wise sane Washingtonians to the point
Of solemnly sending fard-earned dollars

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES B. TRACEWELL.

It is not too early to be thinking
about reseeding the lawn.
A little early to SOW the seed, but not
too soon TO be thinking Of 1t.
Good grass is the desire Of every home
gardener. whatever his speciality other
wise may be.
All unite on grass.
One person enjoys his tall corn best,
another his gladioli, another his beets,
still another his dahlias.
No matter what plant intrigues the
particular fancy, whether vegetable or
flower, whether edible or merely orna-
mental, the one favorite Of all people
is the grass.
There Is no other garden subject which
receives quite as much attention as this
one the season around.
1t not only goes in waves, like most
subjects, with recurring days Of splendor,
but is a background subject all the time.
Fashions in gardens and gardening
come and go. but the lawn goes on for
ever, always with people interested in
1t, theoretically, and trying their best,
actually, to make their own place as
pretty as possible in this respect.
This is right, because the grass Is the
background for everything else.
Some one has called 1t the frame OF
the garden picture.
In sense, 1t Is both frame and back
ground for house and garden.
The grass is worth all the attention
the average gardener gives it. Whether
1t is worth extra attention must depend
upon the mind Of the individual. Many
will think that 1t is not, that nothing
is worth worry.
Making worry out of the lawn is
wrong. Thoughts Of crab grass and
other weeds will achieve worry, which is
just q little worse in the garden than
elsewhere, since the garden ought to bs
as free as possible from such cross
grained emotions.
Several years ago many home gar
deners were perturbed by the half-in-
formation which went around, that acid
soil was what one ought to strive to get
in order to have q lawn free from weeds.
To achieve this, directions were given
for the use of various materials, which
called for particular kinds of grasses.
The joker was that these grasses were
precisely the sort not one lawn in a
thousand had. But seldom was this
rather important point mentioned.
Many persons. therefore went right
ahead trying to feed mild acids to
grasses which demanded alkaliS, with
what results may be imagined.
Average lawns, almost without excep-
tion, are alkali lawns, and like agricul-
tural lime.
The old-timers were right.
If you use Kentucky blue, redtop, and
such grass seeds, along with a little
Dutch white clover, be sure to lime the
lawn in February or March, not thickly,
but just enough.
If you sow the bent grasses, then use
mild acidifiers, such as cottonseed meal
and the like.
But don't mix the two sorts, or use
the wrong type of fertilizers and control.
The average lawn may be made
medium good lawn, II not a downright
excellent lawn. by consistent care. with
out the caretaker running any risk Of
worrying himself too much in the
process.

with the United States and Great Britain
to guarantee permanently the indie
pendence and neutrality of the Philip
pine Islands, were received favorably by
washington officials. The future status
Of the islands after they shall have
attained their complete independence in
l946, provided they elect this course
under the terms of the existing law. is
matter which this Government would
like to see settled in a satisfactory man
ner. The new program of militarization
in the islands which is being worked
out under the direction of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur. who has been assigned for
that purpose, may have considerable
bearing, 1t is believed in official circles
here. on whatever final decision is
reached in the matter. The deliberations
of the institute. they believe, should have
a clarifying effect on the problem, al
though no definite or immediate action
is looked for as result thereof.

Thousands of citizens from all parts
of the United States who from time to
time have visited the galleries of Con-
greSs. intent on listening to an interest
ing debate, only to have it interrupted
by long and tiresome roll call, doubtless
would vote unanimously" in favor of an
informal suggestion that their national
legislative body should adopt the up-to-
date system employed in some of the
foreign ParliamentS. There, whenever
a vote is to be taken, the legislators,
instead Of droning through listless roll
call, push little button of their desk
which registers by a colored light-red,
green or yellow-on a board near the
speakers desk whether they have voted
yes, no or merely present. Automatically
when lever is pressed. the machine
flashes the results. In spite of its ad-
vantages there might be many practical
dif1cultieS here, it is pointed out by
Capitol employees, in adopting such a
system.
Plans for an interchange of wild ami
NAL species between Argentina and the
United States have brought Luis Ortiz
Basualdo. assistant director of national
parks in the South American country,
TO Washington. Senor Basualdo, who will
visit some of the principal parks in the
West and in Canada, stopping at the
Shenandoah Park on his way back, de-
clared that they have "a Yellowstone" in
his land-not in name, for 1t is called
Manuel el-Huapi-"but it has all the at
fractions of your Yellowstone except
geysers."
Evidence Of the truth Of the old say
ing, oft spoken in JEST that "the world
is a small place after ALL" is furnished
by an incident in connection with
recent airplane trip to South America on
which several Washingtonians were in
the party. Being acquainted with Senior
Oswaldo Aranha, the Brazilian Ambas-
sador here, they took advantage of the
opportunity when they were in the neigh
borhood Of his home in Southern Brazil
to drop in to pay their respects to his
mother. She and the daughter who
happened to be there also, received them
graciously. On returning to Washington
they informed the Ambassador of their
visit to his mother. "Oh, yes" he replied,
II have already received an airmail
letter from her telling me about it."

We believe that the mixture commonly
sold hereabouts, for shady lawns" is the
best for both sunny and shady plots.
Kentucky blue, straight, may be used
for replacement work in the Spring. but
1t Is a slow grower and is not SO good
in the Fall as the shady" mixtures.
The latter does even better in the
sunny spots than In the shady and is
quick grower, which Is what is desired
In Fall grass seeding.
The last week in August and the first
two in September are the favored weeks,
the time many persons now say is the
best for rebuilding the average lawn.
Rebuilding q lawn Is not as comph-
Gated as 1t sounds.
Instead Of bothering as much as peo-
pie used to about weeds, the modern
lawnmaker simply fills up the bare spots
at this time of year with plenty of
good seed and keeps these seeded spots
well watered. This latter is particularly
necessary during such season as the
present and is the place where so many
otherwise good gardeners fall down with
the famous bang or boom.
Watering freshly Sprouted grass in a
time of drought is essential not only
because the new plants need the water
to grow, but especially because they
must have it to keep from being burned
up entirely. They are tender and can
not stand the heat, to say nothing of
the actual rays of the sun.
r + Il
Fresh grass plants, well watered at
least every other day, will push out of
existence the weeds which crop up in
the best cared for lawns.
This process does not imply perfection.
There always will be weeds, especially
dandelions, which simply refuse to be
crowded out.
The thing to do is to try first the
Of fresh grass seed. II this will not
work, the only thing left is to pull them
out by hand. But often enough it
saved the trouble of dealing with them
individually.
The lawn crank. therefore, keeps
plenty of grass seed handy and uses
1t consistently especially in early Spring
and early Fall, in filling in the bare
spots which occur from time to time in
even the best lawns.
Unless lawn is pretty bad, there Is
no need to tear it up entirely and begin
anew completely. Occasionally this is
necessary. but in most cases the intro
duction Of fresh seed in spots will give
the lawn just the added impetus it
needs to make good.
1t must be kept in mind that the
tendency Of all grass is to spread out. to
cover more and more ground, in true
weed fashion. Yes, grass is a weed. in
a very good sense, that Of sturdiness.
Weeds, so called, are simply plants
where they are not wanted. Grass is
weed where it is wanted. 1t has all
the lush growth of the true weed and
the intellectual desire-we feel sure grass
has-to crowd out competition, given
half chance. In this, grass is almost
human, which is just another way of
saying supremely natural.
A few days. now, and grass sowing
will be in order again. Remember to
keep it well watered for at least month.
after 1t is sown, especially if there are
no rains. With normal Autumn rains,
this added care will not be necessary,
but unless the weather changes, this Fall
probably will not be normal.

Not to Be Envied.

A magistrate, presiding over police
court in an American city, once created
a sensation by announcing that newly
appointed judges should undergo expert
mental imprisonment before assuming
office. His theory was that occupants of
the bench would be more charitable
toward convicted offenders If they were
more intimately acquainted with the
meaning of incarceration in jail. And
the doctrine, philosophically considered,
appears to have merit. Possibly it might
be extended to apply to legislative and
executive officers of government as well
as to the judiciary.
But it also would be helpful II critics
of those officials momentarily were sub
jected to experience with the conditions
which dictate their policies. 1t happens
that few Congressman and still fewer
administrators have the power to i'm
press their own personal views upon the
system Of which they are part. They
begin their careers with high idealism;
ordinarily they end them disillusioned.
For example, the case Of President
Roosevelt may be cited. In the campaign
Of 1882 he promised a reduction OF
twenty-five per cent in the cost of gov
ernment, he complained against useless
bureaus and an overlarge number OF
Federal employees, and unqualifiedly
pledged himself to a program of elm
ination and reduction to the benefit of
the taxpayers of the Nation. And he
was sincere in his attitude. Yet no
sooner had he entered the White House
than he supplemented the existing ma
chinery of government and added to the
army of men and women on the public
pay roll. An inordinate demand from
the people for increased service gave him
all the excuse he needed for the expan-
sion. When he suggested retrenchment
howl of protest arose on every hand.
Even today the President is receiving
floods of appeals for aid. If he re-
sponded as requested the national debt
would be doubled. But nobody bothers
to think of that problem. Instead. the
very individuals who are most bitterly
hostile to him for his spending are
advocating policies which would bank
rupt every class of society except the
professional mendicant element. The
contradiction ought to be obvious, yet it
remains unnoticed. Only q minority of
citizens, it seems, pause to imagine the
penalty which would be inflicted upon
the average man and his family in the
event of victory of the affiliated forces
of William Lemke, Father Coughlin, DR..
Townsend and Gerald Smith.
Indeed, 1t may be wondered If Repub-
lican triumph would give Gov. Landon
cause to be envied. He, too, almost in
evitably would be obliged to spend money.
The relief and recovery agencies set up
by both President Hoover and Mr..
Roosevelt simply cannot be liquidated
over night; rather, it is indicated that
many of them will be continued indefi-
nitely. And the anvil chorus likewise
may be counted upon to survive. Will
fication, curiouSly enough, is the lot OF
every servant of the state in democ-
racy. No matter what they do or do
not do they are damned. And it is
altogether possible that it was realization
of that fact that prompted Mr.. Hoover
to avoid a third nomination.

There are basic facts which never
