A Del,lsive Gesture.

recent tentative offer by Senator
Thomas to consider lump sum of $5.-
100000 in the District appropriation
bill--which is 100000 below the bud
get figure-was contingent on acceptance
of his resolution providing for appoint
menU of a commission TO study and re-
port next December on the amount OF
the Federal obligation. From the begin
ming the Senate conferees, backed by the
Senate. have declined 10 agree TO any
reduction of the lump sum below the
figure recommended by the President in
his budget message unless coupled with
some action designed 10 end the peren-
nial controversy. The action of the
House yesterday should in no wise in1u-
ence any weakening of that position.
representative BIantons tactics in
pursuance of his efforts 10 eliminate the
lump sum entirely are perfectly obvious
obvious enough 10 the Senate con-
ferees. If ne cannot achieve his purpose
in a single year, ne hopes TO do IL by
degrees. That is the method by which
the lump sum has been reduced TO the
present inadequate figure of S57OO,OOO.
Mr.. Blsnton would naturally be as salts
fed by a 81, ,2OO, 900 lump sum as he would
with anything else under IS, 100 ,OOO-for
any reduction below the budget f1gure
will represent a personal triumph for
nj n ring nOinI for
his progrsm m of continued reduction next
year. which is what he desires.
The budget figure of $5,70O.0OO should
represent the absolute minimum Federal
contribution below which the Senate
conferees will not go. That the people
of the District are bearing their fair
share of the cost of Capital maintenance
and Improvement has been demonstrst led
nv factual study of their tax burden.
That the local community needs more
revenue has been demonstrated by the
showing of unmet needs. The shortage
OF local revenues is due, not 10 the
fact that local taxpayers are escaping
the payment of fair taxes, but 10 the
unreasonable reductions, in the past, Of
the Federal lump sum. To reduce IT
AGAIN this year below the budget fgure
will be serious blow TO the District, no
matter what the reduction might be.
Under Mr.. Blsntons leadership the
House yielded TO Senate amendments en-
bloc Yesterday and voted against Mr..
Planton in eliminating the House
amendment barring outside employ
ment for District employees receiving
more than 81 400 a year. A few amend
ments still remain in dispute.
But, as everybody knows, the only real
controversy-the only important item
that has thus far prevented agreement
lis the amount of the lump sum. And
the position of the Senators in standing
Arm for the budget figure of S., 100000 Is
Just as strong as it ever was.
In House debate yesterday Represent
stive Norton made a strong, intelligent
faht for the people of the District.
Would that there were more members
of the House who, like Mrs. Norton,
would take the time TO look closely into
the problems of fiscal relations and base
their decisions on what the facts show.

Natures Children
Wild Rose (Rosa humilis).

ways an abundance of rich pollen On
the yellow stamens, and the huge
callers land right in the middle OF
them, OF course, the guest brings
valuable pollen from the last hostess
she called on, and SO the exchange
Of golden grains Is made.
By July ~ the wild rose Is ready
to close shop and develop her many
children. They are housed in scar
let dome, highly spiced and bright
enough in color to attract the atten-
ton of the birds. These seed boxes
are called "roSe-hips."
Country children know well the
spicy flavor of the bright rose "hips."
but they irritate the throat. In some
parts of the country jams have been
made of them, and event tartS. But
the effort to gather enough "hips"
and the result when the "hips" were
cooked, did not justify the labor. Be
sides, such an act as this would soon
leave few wild roses for us to enjoy.
The birds are very fond OF the
spicy coat that covers the seed chill
dren. The seeds are dropped all over
the country as the birds fly en- route
to their Winter homes. and birds are
often happy to find a rose bush that
has escaped their attention in the
Autumn, still covered with red ber-
ries as they wend their way toward
the North.
The large swelings or gals that
are seen on the rose bush, called by
country people robins cushions, are
the work of a wasp. She punctures a
rose bud, lays her eggs within 1t, and
her many children, after Matching
feast upon the rose leaves. In the
earlier days, when home remedies
were used, these cushions were thought
to have medicinal value. Many a
one has been sampled, but the flavor
was enough. After all, it was really
the abandoned nursery Of the rose
gall insect-how could it have fine
| flavor?
