THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

What is Washington's favorite rose?
If one may judge from the number
of vines in bloom, it is Paul's Scarlet,
beloved of the people everywhere, both
in the city and in nearby Maryland
and Virginia.
This is the deep red rose, scarlet as its
name says, which subtly flames at you
from fire engine house walls, in the yards
fences everywhere.
A rose Of manifold uses, Pauls Scarlet
is bright yet subdued, brilliant yet soft,
so that it is all things to all people.
Wherever you put it, it blends well
with whatever else is there, except red
brick wall, and even there it does not
clash.
1t looks best, however, against back
ground of white or cream, or against the
deep green of Spring foliage.
X
There is practically nothing to be said
against this fine climber.
Almost any other rose one names,
either bush rose or climber, has one or
more traits which its friends wish 1t
did not possess.
Many hybrid roses, for instance, grow
gorgeouSly in the hot house, with spe-
cial care, but put them in garden,
under usual conditions, they fade in sur :
light, or are unable to stand the effects
of Summer downpour.
Not so Pauls Scarlet. The beautiful
flowers are good for at least four weeks,
and often week longer.
There is scarcely a rose of any type
which surpaSSeS this one in this par
ticular respect. Long after that other
fine climber, the DR.. Van Fleet, with its
large f1esh-pink flowers, has come and
gone, the scarlet blooms of the other still
remain fresh and wholesome in sun or
shade.
1t may be realized that this is a
climbing rose of many uses.
While it does best in full sun, it seems
to do almost equally well in partial sun,
very good in a shady situation.
1t will grow on poles porches, fences,
garages, walls of all types. 1t may be
kept short and almost bushlike, or
trained to go to height of 20 feet or
more.
This makes it one of the most usable
of all the roses, either bush or climber.
When added to this sheer utility, an
extreme hardness is kept in mind, it
may be seen that here is the one rose
everybody ought to plant.
And everybody, almost, has planted it!
All-around fitness has done it. 1t IS
the rose everybody loves, which wins The
admiration of high and low, skilled or
unskilled, artistic or indifferent.
X
Paul's Scarlet is not bothered much
with plant lice, but it does suffer at
times from the dreaded black k-spot, bane
of roses.
There Is a small green worm. too,
which seems inclined to poster the vine.
A spray which leaves deposit of poison
Gus material on the leaves for the worm
to eat is the best remedy.
1t will Winter-kill to some extent, if in
a Northern location, but seldom severely.
This brings up the matter of the best
location for this climber, and for almost
all roses, as a matter of fact.
Full sun is best.
There can be no doubt about that any
more. Sunshine is sanitary as well as

Nicaraguan Civil War.

1t is just ten years ago that Nicaragua
rocked with one of it's time periodical
revoltS, leading to another landing of
United States Marines to re-establiSh
law and order, pave the way for a
free" presidential election and lay the
foundations of stable government. which
has been more or less steadily maintained
in the interval At American-supervised
polls in 1882, DR.. Juan B. Sacasa, Liberal,
was voted into the presidency for q
four-year term expiring in 1887. Shortly
afterwards the Marines were withdrawn,
the bandit leader, Sandino, was sup
pressed, only to be assassinated, with
three of his followers, year later, and
the country, so long strife-torn, settled
down to an era OF apparently enduring
tranquility.
Now civil war has broken out again
as the result of a political conflict be-
tween President Sacasa and forces in
control of the national guard. On Sun
day the executive palace at Managua
was besieged and bombarded. The
President is now at bay ard fighting for
his life There have been numerous
casualties on both sides and fatalities
among civilians struck by stray bullets.
The revolutionary movement spread into
the country. Rebellious national guards
men were reported to have attacked
the government fortress of Leon. Ac-
cording to latest accounts, federal forces
defending both Managua and Leon were
holding their own. But Nicaragua plainly
is once more racked by old-fashioned
turmoil destined to uproot much Of
the laborious work of conciliation accom-
plished since United States Marines
intervened in the republics chaotic af-
fairs. Gen. Somoza, commander OF the
national guard, is regarded as the coun-
try's strong man. The guardsmen now
challenging the government under his
leadership we're trained by American
officers to function as national police
force loyal to the constituted authority.
Should they succeed in ousting President
Sacasa, there would presumably at once
arise the question of recognition. The
Central American treaty of 1923, to
which the United States gave its moral
support, fcrbids acknowledgment of
revolution created regimes. The familiar
name of that stormy petrol of Nicara-
guam politics, former President Gen.
Moncada, figures in the anti-Sacasa up
rising.
The forthcoming presidential election
lies at the root of the present outbreak.
Sacasa and Somoza factions charge each
other with designs to gain control by un-
constitutional methods. A recent LIBERAL
Conservative agreement to nominate
bipartisan presidential ticket failed to
prevent the hostilities now shaking the
nation. Somoza supporters claim the
arrangement is merely deal to per-
petuate Sacasa rule.
Following recent eruptionS in Para
quay and Bolivia, civil war rears its
head in Nicaragua to prove afresh that
the spirit of discord seems almost in
digenous to the Latin American soil.

Protest Against Arrest
Of Woman Flower Seller

To the Editor of The Star:
I think the policemen who arrested
Mrs. Fannie KaZlaSkia and her 312 year
old son for selling flowers ought to be
ashamed of themselves. To stop this
woman from trying to make an honest
living-which many don't try to do in
these days-by such an innocent voca-
ton as selling flowers, with the small
funds she had managed to get together,
was an outrage! That is a lovely job
for policemen to be doing when traffic
violators are on every side, when hold
ups are occurring almost daily in the
City of Washington and when many
other things are occurring that officers
of the law might well give their at
tention to.
I was very glad to have the oppor-
tunity to buy flowers from a man near
curb to place on grave in Cedar
Hill Cemetery on this Memorial day.
Think of arresting any one who helps
out this service we give in memory of
those whom we have loved and lost
awhile H. B. BRADFORD.

Tragic Plight of Silent
Victims of Great War

To the Editor of The Star:
The tragic end of Thomas Hewitt re-
minds me to say a word for a type of
war casualty that has never been treated
with sympathy and understanding by
our well-meaning Government. The
maddening strain of the late war def
nitely caused a sort of reaction that
made many an otherwise whole person
a nervous wreck for life. My expert
ence with veterans has acquainted me
with many such cases, and of all the
tragic ones they are the most badly off.
They usually have no wounds to show
and no proof of any specific trarimatic
injury and they consequently find it
difficult or impossible to obtain recogni-
ton. The Government has tried to
reach nervous cases but it is conserva-
tive and uses conventional methods of
determining the presence of difficulty
and this leaves many beyond assistance.
More unfortunately, many of the victims
have never recognized their own diff
Guilty If victim crashes completely,
or if he shows very extreme outward
symptoms, he still has some slight chance
of recognition, but there are types of
outstanding fine men who resist out
ward expression and yet who suffer tor
ture without surcease day and night.
Tom Hewitt was one of these and there
are thousands like him.
I am not personally interested but I
regret to see a policy so short sighted
that it omits recognition of cases that
are known or should be known through
experience. I think no greater silent
tragedy exists and hope the time will
come when this just Government will
extend it's sympathetic hand to those
victims who must suffer without SYM
pathy and understanding, as well as
without assistance.
PALMER B. BOYD,

necessary for the full growth of all plant
life, with certain well-known exceptions.
If you want to get maximum height
and blossom out of most roses, either
bush or vines, put them in the sun, on
the south side of house.
AS close to the house wall as possible
is preferable, we believe. If there is an
overhang on the second floor. which will
further protect the specimen, this is a
good thing to have.
Roses planted in such a location will
give their very best. 1t will help, of
course, if they are sturdy to begin with,
such as the vine under consideration, or
the hardy Radiance sisters.
Yet even tender varieties will thrive
under such conditions.
1t may be realized that plants close
to south house wall will get the benefit
OF some heat all Winter, will be saved
the north blasts and will not be
drenched with water unnecessarily.
X X
The idea that roses need a great deal
OF water is, in our belief, erroneous.
The best bushes we ever had were
planted two feet from a south brick
wall with an overhang.
They got very little water all Spring
and Summer long, but had 200 roses on
each bush and their leaves were bright
and green.
Since then we have watched every
where and found ample verifcation for
this opinion we feel.
The finest Paul's Scarlet we have seen
this Spring is two stories high, planted
at the south wall of a frame house
painted cream. 1t is Dutch Colonial,
with overhang, of course.
Yet we have seen another good speci-
men, although no way near SO high, at
the northeast corner of porch where
it gets some morning sun. The blooms
on this vine last week or ever two
longer than most.
The real beauty Of Pauls Scarlet is
that the blooms are just right, not too
dark, not too light, not too intense, yet
vivid enough.
Most beholderS find the color entirely
to their satisfaction, both mental and
ocular. The mind and the eyes help
each other to the verdict.
People who do not know one rose
from another will approve of this one
every time. There is something about
it that wins the hearts of all.
With this winner, and the equally
famous DR.. Van Fleet, the home gar
dener of modest means has the world S
very best climbing roses at his disposal.
There are other and later developments
which may appeal to the connoisseur,
but for all around satisfaction few if
any of them will compare with this
duet. Paul's Scarlet is not the rampant
grower that the DR.. Van Fleet is, but
given plenty of sunshine it will grow
enough for any one. One of its merits,
indeed. is that it is not so rampant.
DR.. Van Fleet rather tends to get the
best of the average fence or trellis or
porch it is on. Not so this other, which,
with it's fine green foliage and gorgeous
blooms, lasting long time. fills the
bill completely. The one thing to be
careful about is to plant it at a distance,
if possible, from other roses 1t is Just
a bit too intense for most Of them.
1t will make the famous old climbing
American Beauty look drab, indeed.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Gate of Dreams.

A strong, strange thing is love.
1t moves upon its way like death or birth,
Can be arrested by no power on earth,
Makes for its goal, nor seeks to rove,
A honing dove.
A common thing 1t seems;
Coming to royalty and stable grooms,
To ladies and the maids who sweep their
rooms,
In quiet spots and where life teens.
The gate to dreams.

Record Grove
Sees Hockey

NEW YORK. Jan. "a check
up today revealed that a new at
tendance record for a Metropol-
itan hockev game was hung up
last night when the New York
Rangers and the New York Amer
leans battled to a ScoreleSS tie.
The number of paying custom
erS who saw the game was Is. 1863.
Every available bit Of seating
space was utilized.
The game, in spite Of its incon-
elusive ending. was a thriller.
Both teams had alright defenses
and willing attacks. The AmerkS
started off gingerly and had the
edge In the first period. From
then, on. however, the Rangers
enjoyed whatever advantage there
was,
