The Futility of Strikes.
rom the Charlotte Observer.

from lne Cnarlotte observer.
Labor troubles are breaking out over
the two Carolinas with a frequency and
developing an intensity Of friction that
alarms.
They have to do largely with employees
In cotton and hosiery mills, and are,
therefore, centric to the most command
ing and important of the industries of
these two States.
Except for sporadic instances of such
disaffection, the Carolinas and the South
in general have been largely relieved in
times past of the desperation and de-
struction which such difficulties produce.
It is mainly for that reason that the
cotton manufacturing industry has de-
veloped in this area to an extent that
has virtually brought about its annihila-
ton In the New England States.
What q tragic mistake 1t would be
should either operators or operatives in
this industry, or both, become deluded
into thinking that there is some genius
in their climate or geography which
would make their industry immune to
the same insidious and venal germ OF
ultimate destruction that attacked the
same industry in the East and put 1t to
rout!
Strikes are profitable to neither-ror
to the public, which, also, has large
social and economic stake in this equa-
ton.
And they usually wind up with both
sides having agreed to the policy of give
and take, leaving nothing especially de-
cisive in the way of a victory for either,
but always leaving loss for both and Bit
terness lingering and lurking in the
hearts of individuals involved.

Obviously, Mr.. Ekins' achievement was
that of "a mere passenger" He set out
to show what could be done in the way
of rapid transit over established routes
and established facilities. 1t follows that
ordinary people-not only trail-blazlng
journalists-can do the same thing. The
world, in effect, is smaller than 1t for
merly was; the continents are cor
related in a network which bring towns
on opposite sides of the earth into the
relation of neighbors. To statesmen
charged with the creation and preserva-
ton of peace that is a significant fact
a condition" to be reckoned with in the
future, if not in the immediate present.
The day will dawn, it seems, when a
plane may circumnavigate the planet
without stopping, perhaps dropping
bombs en- route.
But, meanwhile, considerable public
will be interested to see improvement in
less hasty methods Of travel. Hectic
speed Is an objective of relatively few
persons. Mr.. Ekins' experience is remi-
niscent of that of a certain Washington
family not long ago. Hurrying from
Berlin to Paris, they stopped for break
fast in Cologne. Over their heads as
they sat in the station restaurant rose
the towers of one of the grandest of
cathedrals. The youngest member of the
party summarized the sentiment of the
whole group when she said: Il want to
come back here and see this when I
don't have to rush." To know the beauty
and the wonder of the world one needs
more leisure than a record breaking
piece of human baggage in an airship is
afforded.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Small gardens, In the main, are
divided into two classes, owing to the
very nature Of things, and fortunate is
the owner who keeps them in mind:
1. The sunny garden.
2. The shady garden.
What you can grow in one you cannot
grow very well in the other.
This applies particularly to plants
which demand full sunshine. They will
live, but never very happily, in the shady
yard.
1t also applies to those plants which
like half-shade in their normal habitat.
While both types Of plants may be
forced to endure life out of their usual
situations, it is seldom that they result
in growth or flowers satisfactory to the
amateur gardener.
Yet nothing is more common than to
see people trying to grow the plants
suited to the sunny yard in a garden
surrounded by great trees.
Not only do the latter send their roots
out far into the flower borders and lawn,
taking nutriment away from ANIMALS and
perennials alike, and also the grass, but
their leaves create condition OF shade
against which even rampant growers,
such as the zinnia, must struggle in vain.
Petunias, another "sure-fire" annual,
beloved of most amateurs. will seldom
respond nicely in such a situation.
There is a great difference between
such plants, grown as they should be
grown, and the same species displayed in
the half-sick, dispirited condition SO
often seen in the shady yard.
The wise amateur in time suits his
plants to his conditions.
1t may take him several years, how
ever, to come to this.
He will try, try again. according to the
best copy book traditions.
He will be loath, if he has shady
place, to give up his old loves.
Hence he will plant them time after
time in the hope that they will live up
to their old standards, but in the main
he will find he cannot change Nature.
Sun-loving flowers require sun to do
their best.
Not only will their rate Of growth be
slowed up in most cases. but the beauty
of their blossoms will be far less. They
will be subjected to more attacks by
insects and blights. They will seldom be
q satisfaction to the planter.
The gladiolus. favorite Of many, never
gives over its liking for sunshine.
There are few plants which demand
sun as persistently. which is no wonder,
since the original flag lily" or sword
lily" from which all the modern varieties
have sprung, came from Africa.
Its bulbs Technically and properly
called corms) seldom had any infection.
until during recent years they were
attacked by the thrips.
1t may be that this invasion resulted
only when many gardeners insisted in
trying to grow these glorious things in
haf-shade.
The gladiolus may be blossomed in the
shady yard, but the plant is not half as
high, nor the flowers half as large.
Good color, too, mostly is lacking In
the wrong situation.
This holds good of practically all sorts
of sun-loving plants. They will grow,
and most often blossom, but the total
result will be only mockery Of the real
thing grown as it should be grown.
Evening star., 1936-10-22

Those who have shady or semi-shady
gardens might as we'll make up their
minds to forgo the standard popular
things which do well in the sunny yard.
There Is an entire new list of material
which will grow nicely in the shade.
Much of it is unknown to the average
amateur gardener. 1t includes most Of
the so-called wild flowers, the ferns and
a battery of borderline plants which will
tolerate either complete shade or part
shade.
Most Of the hardy shrubs will come
through in inimical positions; that Is,
they will do well enough to justify their
use and retention.
Thus the average homeowner who loves
lilacs need not give them up entirely
because he has great trees around his
home
While lilacs do better in sunshine,
without questions, although even this
precious commodity will not insure their
blossoming, in most situations they do
well enough to bear planting.
No one seems to have solved the reason
for shy blooming Of lilacs. There are a
multitude of theories, all of which seem
wrong on occasion. Still there is wealth
of sentimental loveliness about this old
shrub, and even those who despair of
must plant them in semi-shady yard
will do well to keep on trying.
IS
Kinds of soil and drainage are two
factors which must be kept in mind at
all times.
Rosebushes like clay soil, for in
Sfanre and rlentV of sunshine
What Is the use of trying to force them
to grow in another type soil, even though
good, and under trees?
Yet no sight Is more common.
Usually wrong soil and conditions are
made worse by failure to use the correct
insecticides and fungicides and plenty of
plant food.
Under such conditions, or, rather, lack
of the right ones, few roses will do well.
The attempt to grow them then becomes
no pleasure at all. Growing good roses
is always real work, even under the best
conditions but when the set-up is wrong
in major essentials there is only dis
appointment to be had from the
attempt.
Even an expert could not grow them
properly under the wrong conditions.
WIldL CtldIlCc, tIleIl, has I4Ic SHldtcuA
when soil and situation are not right?
Old garden friends are not to be given
up lightly. of course.
If one has trees, and many of them
it is just as well to make determined
effort to grow favorite ANIMALS under
them.
There may be exceptions.
But when the experience Of several
years proves beyond doubt that they do
not do well, in comparison with the old
standards, it may be just as well to give
them up.
The best garden is the healthy one, in
which plants suited to the conditions
found are growing as they ought to grow.
Shy little forest wild flowers shrivel in
the full light of the sun.
Zinnias become straggly and covered
with mildew beneath great trees.
Stubbornly to keep on trying to grow
the wrong things in the wrong places,
rather than the right things in the right
places, means gardening at its mediurnly
worst, and unhappiness both for plants
and their keepers.

Germany's New Dictator.

Recently Berlin was agitated by reports
that Hitler is divesting himself of certain
autocratic powers and conferring them
upon Colonel General Hermann Goering,
premier of Prussia, Reich air minister
and der Feuhrer's closest and most power
full lieutenant. Events have just borne
out that prognostication. Goering has
been appointed to execute the four year
plan Of economic -containment
promulgated at Nuremberg last month.
Hitler remains in supreme command, but
clothes the No. 2 Nazi with omnipotent
powers. making Goering the autocrat of
German trade, with indisputable author
ity to control and regulate it. Only der
Fuehrer himself can check or overrule
him.
The sweeping powers thus bestowed
mean that Germany now has two dicta-
tors-Hitler and Vice Dictator Goering.
The basic purpose is to mobilize and
administer the Reichs economic re-
sources so as to render 1t as far as
humanity possible independent Of foreign
raw materials and foodstuffs. To that
end Goering is authorized to compel
industry to resort to any recourse he
DEGREES, at whatever cost to itself. Trade
and commerce are apparently to be sub.
jected to the rugged regimentation i'm
posed in World War time. when the
Germans, hemmed in by the British
blockade, achieved miracles In the indus
trial realm by resort to the famed
Ersatz (substitute) system for variety
OF essential rawstuffs which could no
longer be imported. It enabled the
German armies and people to sustain
themselves for four years against pro-
digious odds.
Hitler and his spokesmen often argue
that Germany is engaged in campaign
for economic self preservation akin to
the stern demands imposed by war con-
ditions. AS it is Goerings Job to win
the new Campaign, he will subordinate
all and sundry ruthlessly to the attain
ment OF that goal. Just how he proposes
to handle his Herculean problem, espe-
cially the thorny issues of currency,
exports and foreign credits, remains to
be disclosed. But his record for fierce
determination insures that he will tackle
it in fortnight fashion. Even the Ger
man nraeS iS to ho harneSSed fn tho
Goering chariot, along with the right to
overrule any government department
that stands in its way. DR.. Schacht,
hitherto all powerful as Reichsbank
president and economics minister, goes
into eclipse with the rest of the national
fiscal organization of which Goering is
now the interchangeable master.
Germans insist their raw material
plight can never be fully relieved with
out recovery of colonies, or, as Hitler
has limited, without some Of Soviet
Russia's rich domain. It may be taken
for granted that the iron-handed Goer-
ing, while bossing the industrial show,
will not leave out of account the Reich's
territorial hunger or cease to maneuver
at home and abroad for its appeasement.
Possibly in the course of his operations
he will seize useful occasions to remind
all concerned that, besides being trade
dictator, he is also chief of the mightiest
air force in Europe.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Divided.

Divided.
Know this: Nor ever doubt It as the
truth
I love you.
Though by words only can I give the
proof,
I love you.
For circumstance and time have distance
thrown
Between your heart and mine. Each Is
alone.
Sweet words take wing and protestations
fail,
Soft whisperings are no longer Of avail,
Yet know, although there Is so much
to rue,
Know it and hold to 1t the long hours
thru
For all the courage you have given me
! love you.
For your devotion and your constancy
I love YOU.

In 1896 the big States of the East, plus
the populous States Of the Middle West,
defeated Bryan. It is upon the East and
the Middle West that Landon and the
Republicans are relying today to defeat
the Roosevelt New Deal administration.
Forty years ago Mckinley carried Iowa.
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Minne-
sofa, Wisconsin, all States with the pos
sible exception of Wisconsin, upon which
John Hamilton, the Republican national
chairman, is banking today to put Lam
don across the line q winner. Bryan, on
the other hand, carried Kansas, Ne
braska. Colorado. Missouri, Idaho. Mon
tana, Utah, Washington, Nevada, South
Dakota and won one Of California's
electoral votes. The rest Of the Cali
fornia vote, eight in number, went to
Mckinley.
Today the Roosevelt New Dealers are
paying the farmers bounty for not
working some Of their fields In their
usual crops. They are providing work
for the unemployed labor. All this gives
greater hold on the farmers and labor
of the Middle West and the East than
Bryan had when he sought the presi-
dency the first time. To Offset this
advantage, however, the Republicans
have raised the issue of mounting public
debt and heavy taxes, which must fall on
the farmer and labor alike. To the
housewife, whether on the farm or in
industrial centers, the Republicans are
pointing out the higher prices Of food
stuffs and of other necessities. They
have put out q document showing that
In the prices of meat, for example, the
secreted taxes amounted to 8h cents
per pound of bacon, Ga cents per pound
