A T THE September meeting OF
~ the Takoma Horticultural
~ Club DR.. Z. A. Hollowell pre-
sented some very timely infor-
nation on the care of outdoor chrys-
anthemums. At this season all
plants, except dwarf varieties, should
be staked to prevent winds and rains
from topping the plants. The most
desirable method Of stalking Is that in
which each plant Is surrounded by
circular wire support, but single stakes
are better than none. Disbudding is
highly desirable in the larger types OF
outdoor chrysanthemums, saving the
terminal buds and pinching of the
side buds. These side buds continue
to push out right up to the time Of
blooming, making necessary repeated
dsbudding every week or so. Spray
ing at this time Is of little avail, but
should be borne in mind another sea-
son as q means of preventing the
dropping Of the lower leaves. Bor-
deaux mixture Is the most effective
spray material. Bronzing Of the low
er leaves may sometimes be caused by
a lack of potash in the soil and might
result where nitrogen alone was used
for fertilizer. A well-balanced COM
plete fertilizer is required by the
chrysanthemum, but 1t Is now too late
to fertilize this season. as the only
result might very well be . stimulation
of vegetative development and q cor
responding decrease in flowers.

stable rose bed or border. the ques-
ton OF whether Autumn Is good
time to set out roses may we'll be very
timely and important. If gardeners
are consulted. answers probably would
not agree. On the whole. Autumn
should be the better season in this
region, but with severe Winters, such
as prevailed last year and the year
before, there may we'll be difference
of opinion. As a rule. the nursery
man digs all his saleable roses in Au-
tumn. dsposes of what he can and
puts the remainder in large storage

ously. those plants that are in the cell
lar will suffer some root injury from
mildew and other rots. The plants
that are set in the garden will not
suffer root injury, but there is hazard
of freezing injury for the tops. This
can be overcome by mounding the

REALTORS MARK
TERMS ADOPTION
Membership Designation An
niversary to Be Observed
at New Orleans.

The twentieth year since the adop-
ton of the term "realtor" as its MEM
bership designation will be celebrated
by the National Association OF Real
Estate Boards all through its twenty
ninth annual convention to be held In
New Orleans, November 1871.
The term realtor came into its ofn-
cial existence and meaning at the
ninth annual convention 1e16) Of
the association, also held in New Or
leans. A jubilee dinner, to be an "old
timers dinner given in honor Of the
past presidents of the association, will
be the opening event, with old-time
photographs now being drawn from
every part Of the country to be thrown
on the screen, recalling earlier realtor
milestones of the decade before the
birth of the word realtor itself.
Among photographs to be shown
will be one taken here on January
~. 1916, when the Washington Real
Estate Board was host to q national
group OF real estate men. George Y.
Worthington ives president of the
picture shows number Of local real
tors who are still active in business.
The membership designation was
coined by Charles N. Chadbourn of
Minneapolis Real Estate Board and
given by him To the association. Mr..
Chadbourn, Father Realtor," will be
present for the celebration.
All former officers of the national
association are invited to take part in
the dinner. to be held on Tuesday
evening, November II, the evening
preceding the opening of the general
sessions.
Two Washington realtors who have
served as president of the national
board are expected to attend the din
ner. They are John L. Weaver OF
Weaver Bros. who was head Of the
association in 1919, and william c.

Exhibit Roses.
AT THE September meeting Of the
Potomac Rose Society, David
Lumsden presented some timely sug-
gestions on the handling Of roses for
exhibit purposes. He demonstrated
that other factors besides chance
play a part in the production Of prize
winning roses. Blooms may be re-
strained from opening too rapidly by
tying a piece of soft yarn around
the central part Of partly-opened
buds just after the outer petals have
expanded. Flowers should be cut only
in early morning or in the evening

most excellent material, for its nitro
gen il In slowly available form and
1t also contains abundant phosphorous
which, according to the late Or. Crit
fiths. is the most important food for
bulbs IN this particular region.
That frost il not necessary to cause
the dropping Of leaves Is evident in
the fact that some species are already
bare. Droughty conditions are . fac
tor, but 1t seems to be the inherent
nature Of some trees to drop their
leaves early. Something Of the same
may be said with regard to colortng
OF Autumn leaves. The conception
that frost is needed TO initiate color
alton Is not well founded. but frost
very evidently stimulates the process
by Slowing down normal growth.

ebbs to its lowest point, followed by
q period of slack water, and then
starts to flood without the develop
ment of botherSome currents. Often
the turn of the tide is scarcely per-
ceptible because of the total absence
of conflicting currents. However, in
broad bays with narrow entrances
and in estuaries and rivers emptying
into the sea a much different con-
dition Is found. Here the mass OF
confined water may stream for some
time after the turn of the tide and
come into conflict with the flood tide
which is beginning to form. Generally
these forces come into opposition at
the mouth of the bay, estuary or
river, and throw up an enormous
turbulent mass of confused waves and
struggling currents-usually over a
bar.
In this peculiar contest OF. Mother
Natures forces the strengthening
flood tide always overcomes the weak
ening stream draining outward. If the
water is deep, the outfiowing waters
are overrun by the flood of the new
tide and the turbulence subsidies. But

ment was set up two years later.
Hawaii was not conquered territory,
but admitted to territorial status,
which, in the set-up of the American
Government. is a position preparatory
to statehood From the beginning
the understanding was that Hawaii
was to become a State.
Starting thus, Hawaii has gone
ahead for So years 1t has developed
in population until there are now
400, 900 inhabitants. This number, on
the average, is five times as much as
other territories have had when they
came into the Union.
HAWAII has developed unprece
dented wealth for a territory.
For 80 years she has paid S5,000,000
annually into the Federal Treasury, a
figure no other territory ever even ap-
preached. Hawaii pays more taxes
into the Federal Treasury every year
than does any one of II States that
already are in the Union. Thus, from
the standpoint of wealth generally,
and contribution i4 taxes to the Fed
eral Government in particular, Hawaii
is in every way eligible to statehood.
Hawaii is a progressive community
governmentally. Her territorial form
of government has required almost
no attention from Washington. She
has raised her own taxes and governed
herself as do the States. The only
difference is that her Governor and
judiciary are appointed from WASH
ington, where they are elected in the
States.
One of the evidences of progressive
is not billboard along the roadside
in all of the territory. So intelligently
operated is the community that such
things are not permitted. The police
department is run by a non-partisan
commission and the police chief is
technically trained man brought in
from the outside. The county and
city government have been combined
in Hawaii, as they have in some of
the progressive communities on the
mainland.
Agriculturally there is not COM
munity under the flag that so eff
fectively applies science to the soil as
does Hawaii. The sugar plantations
of Hawaii are the most productive
agricultural units in all the world. So
are pineapple plantations, and Hawaii
supplies 80 per cent Of all the canned
pineapple under the sun. The Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Association
spends $500,000 year on a scientific
staff in experimentation in the culti-
vation of sugar. 1t challenges the
world in study of scientific agriculture.

Fight Swimming

Whereupon they break in q smother
Of foam and roll up the beach.
When heavy seas are running these
waves may build up and break some
distance away from the strand itself
and then reform only to break again
before they actually hit the beach.
There may be two, three, four or even
five lines of breakers crashing and re-
forming in the shallow water area, the
exact number depending upon the size
Of the waves.
When q wave breaks and runs up
the beach because of the incline, it
must turn and go back again. There
is no way for a mass Of water to run
back from the beach except under the
oncoming waves. This forms what is
known as an undertow, which you can
feel even If you stand in water only
knee-deep. The rushing current cuts
the sand out from under your feet
and may even cause you to lose your
balance in exceedingly shallow water.
The undertow rarely runs more than
100 feet. For the most part, the cur
rent is neutralized by the great mass
of water long before that point is
reached.
THE ebb and flow Of the tides is
largely responsible for the de-
velopment Of currents which, depend
ing upon the contour Of the shore
line, may set in any direction. Thus
in the English Channel-a narrow
body of water, which lies open to
the sea at both ends-there has been
developed very swift tidal current
which streams on both the food and
ebb to almost all points in the
compass.
One of the most difiicult tasks con-
fronting the channel swimmer Is to
time the tides In the course Of his
swim in such way that they will
be most helpful to his progress. On

w yHATS the saddest sight
NA/ these balmy days at the
wv seashore? Probably the
spectacle of the inland or
pool swimmer who comes to salt water
and the surf for the first time. To
his utter chagrin, he finds that, while
he may have proved himself grand
swimmer in his native waters, he's the
merest novice when it comes to riding
the beach waves. They are far more
turbulent than the comparatively quiet
waters of lakes, streams and pools.
The first experience of the fresh
water swimmer in the salt sea is
usually sorry one, and may prove to
be mighty discouraging, If some one
doesn't take him in hand and give
him instruction in meeting new con-
ditionS.
Let us, therefore, spend few mo-
ments considering how to have more
fun while riding the ocean waves and
in addition take note of some safety
hints for the inland swimmer who
goes to sea.
On our open beaches along the At
lantic seaboard we have only a few
simple matters to bear in mind In
adapting our fresh water swimming
ability to meet the new situation.
Almost always there is surf running.
The waves, rolling in from the open
sea as they approach land, build up
in mass higher and higher over the
shadows until they become top-heavy.

|HE celebration of the Nations
birthday next Saturday will
be more intense in Hawaii, in
Il the mid-Pacif1c, than any,
where else under the American flag,
since it commentaries not only that
great day in 1776. but also the

In the land of sugar and pineapples.
More enthusiasm for Hawaii state
hood will be shown in Washington
this year than ever before, since the
recent session of Congress gave seri-
Gus consideration to the idea OF ad-
mitting Hawaii as the forty-ninth
State, and made decided progress to-
{ ward this act, which will add another
star to the flag.
The House of Representatives last
year sent committee of five members
to Hawaii to hold hearings on state
hood and report back. On this COM
mittee were Representatives Eugene
B. Grove of Indiana, J. j. Dempsey
of New Mexico, Jack Nichols of Okla
hona, Ernest Lundeen of Minnesota
and Raymond j. Cannon of. Wis
eonsin.
In due time recommendations Of
the delegation to Hawaii were made
to the Committee on Territories. Two
of the five members, Representatives
Lundeen and Cannon, recommended
immediate and unconditional state
hood. The other three, Representa-
tives Dempsey, Grove and Nichols,
while praising the Territory, sug-
Rested further study before final ac-
ton was taken. The committee as
a whole made clear in its formal
statement the fine impression Hawaii
had made upon it.
Your subcommittee" the state
ment read, found the Territory OF
Hawaii to be a modern unit of the
American Commonwealth, with a po-
liticaI, social and economic structure
Of the highest type. Its educational
program is an advanced one, with a
large portion of the tax dollar being
spent for the training of its youth.
Even during the period of the de-
pression this program was neither
relaxed nor reduced, and its school
facilities compare favorably with
those of the most advanced States.

at Ogunquit, Me-. there Is q very
noticeable set of the ebb tide along
the shore to the northeast.
On some of the Florida beaches
sand bars are formed at little dis
tance off the shore which, while they
may not project above the surface
of the water, still impound water on
the flood tide in q kind of lagoon.
When the tide ebbs under such con-
ditions the water so held must find
its way back to the main body in
some manner. If there Is a low
point on the sand bar the water will
start to rush out there, and If the
rush is of considerable strength. it
may develop series of bad currents
in the immediate vicinity. This con-
dition, known as a runout, Is danger
GUS, and is generally posted with
warnings to keep away from that
section.
THERE are other conditions along
some of the Eastern beaches,
notably in New Jersey, which at the
turn of the tide may. in combination
with the slackening of the prevailing
wind, set up very rapid currents which
move directly out to sea. However,
these conditions are not general, and
they must be met and studied In the
places where they are found.
Every inlander has heard of tide
rips, usually in the inverted and
wholly meaningless form Of rip tides,
a corruption never used by seafarine
people. Even persons who live in tide
water districts sometimes use the
latter term to designate an along
shore set of tidal currents. This Is
erroneous and should never be used

trary tide currents come into con-
