| A PROBLEM that fronts
! ~ many home owners is that of
| ~ maintaining cover on rather
n steep slopes. Some are hand
ling the problem by having walls built
in front of their places, thus to re-
duce altogether or largely eliminate
! the grades. Although walls are very
useful, they are costly and sometimes,
when the banks are real high, are not
| feasible. One sees several different
| plants used to replace grass on steep
/ banks. English ivy, Japanese honey
/ suckle and even climbing roses are
utilized. Indian currant and snow
| berry, with their habit of sending out
| frequent horizontal runners which
| root freely, are also used on large
slopes. The trailing type of forsythia
is occasionally employed for the same
| purpose. Sodding is more successful
/ than seeding as a means of grassing
slopes but to place sod on dry gravel
slope is not always successful because
of the poor quality Of the underlying
| SOIL Occasionally on such a poor
quality site one may dig out cavities
and I'LL them again with good soil and
| then plant trailing roses in the pockets
Of good soil. With this precaution the
plants can often get started success
fully despite the generally unfayor-
| able environment.
The HOIIyhock.
MANY home gardeners grow holly
hooks because Of their brilliant
display of color in late June, when
color is none too abundant in the gar
den. Most gardeners depend on self
sown seedlings, perhaps not realizing
| that there are excellent varieties of
this stately flower, many Of the select
ed strains being much more beautiful
than the chance seedlings that make
their own way.
The hollyhock has its troubles, par
ticularly a rust-like disease that often
attacks the leaves and causes them
to drop from the plants. This is the
reason for the leafless stalks with q
few poor blooms that are often seen.
There are means Of preventing defoli-
alton. The hollyhock is q biennial
plant, forming a rosette Of leaves in
the Summer Of one year and the
flower stalk the next During the Win
ter the rust disease may develop on
! the crown Of leaves and in Spring fol-
low up the expanding stalk Consistent
busting with sulphur from early April
to Towering time will check the dis
ease. 1t simply means that when
dusting the roses for black spot, the
hollyhocks should be given the same
treatment.
Even better prospects are in sight,
for the breeders who have succeeded
in isolating rust-immune snapdragons
are also working on the hollyhock and
there will undoubtedly be forthcoming
rust-immune hollyhocks. When this
objective is attained, the hollyhock
will become a much more desirable
| garden plant.

 Fighting Record
 Allenbys war experience began soon after his graduation from the Royal Military College at Sand hurst. He entered the Inniskilling Dragons and served with them in the Beachauanaland Expedition of 188185. Three years later he fought in Zululand. In the South African war he was adjuant of Dragons. By 1910 he had become inspector of cavalry and when the World War broke, he went to France in command of the British mounted forces In the early re- treats his cavalrymen covered up" the withdrawals with fine success, but when the war became one of attrition, with both sides settled into trenches, cavalry ceased to be frequent factor of consequence, and Allenby was given command of an army corps. He fought at Ypres, at Arras, in many other spots made immortal by fierce combat. His direction of his forces was sure, swift, and audacious. In one of the fiercest days of fighting his corps captured more than 50,000 men in a few hours, one of the big gest of the war. He had been in France and Flanders more than three years when detached to Af- rica, after being knighted for his services.
 Is EleUdted
 Returning from Jerusalem after the war, Allenby was given the Baton of a Field Marshal and ele- vated to the peerage as Viscount. Then his administrative ability and military successes were rewarded with the appointment of High Com missioner for Egypt.
 For his services in the World War Marshal Allenby was decorated by the governments of nearly all AL lies, the decorations including the distinguished service medal of the American government He was born April g, 1861.

PLAN TO AID CRIPPLED CHILDREN

it was devoted to preventive pro-
grams.
The exact number of crippled
children in the country is not
even known although it was es-
timated while the act was being
written that there are between
100000 and 100000.
States which apply for the new
federal funds for crippled chill
dren will be asked to meet the
following conditions: match the
federal funds; name state
agency responsible for their dis
tribution and present a plan OF
work which must be approved by
the children's bureau; provide fo1
cooperation with state health,
welfare and rehabilitation groups,
and make periodic reports on use
Of the money to the secretary OF
labor.
Iare eCan Ask Further Funds
After the state has been award
ed the initial $4,000 a year il
can apply for further funds after
an outline of its needs has been
made. Needs. says the children's
bureau, will mean not only eco
nOmic needs, but also the extent
to which conditions lead to Grip
ping. For instance, an epidemic
of infantile paralysis in a sparsely
settled state might possibly
prompt ALLEGATION of fedaral funds
out of proportion to the popula-
ton of the state.
! Furthermore, says the bureau,
the funds will not be considered
as another pension system al.
though there SENS to be wide be-
lief that such is the plan. Hun.
dreds of letters are pouring in
from parents asking for a pension
for their crippled children.
The fund will be used for
medical, surgical and corrective
services and for facilities for
diagnosis. disqualification and af-
ter care for children who are

tons which lead to Gripping"
Aim To Correct Handieaps
The purpose, in other words,
is to correct handicaps which
would keep individuals from a
normal, self-supporting life, rath-
er than to make them comfortable

Consequently much emphasis
win be placed on care and educa-
tional training after hospitaliza-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IT,
Children's bureau officials are
completing final plans for the an
nual disbursement OF $2,850,OOO
aid to crippled children made pos
sible through passage OF the social
security act.
Under the crippled children's
section of the act, all states will
be eligible for an initial $4,000
a year and draw further funds
commensurate with their needs.
In each division the states will be
asked to match federal funds.
Money for the work is not yet
available. Appropriations for the
security act were carried in, the
last minute deficiency bill whieh
failed passage in the last con-
gress in the filibuster by the late
Senator Huey P. Long of Louis
lana.
No Provisions In IL States
But a skeleton staff has gone
to work at the children's bureau.
They have faced the usual con-
fusion contingent on creating a
federal system, and their work
so far has been largely definition
of the limits under which the
money will be used. and aid to
the states revamping their laws
to meet conditions of the federal
law.
Up to the present IL states
have no provisions whatever for
care of crippled children. In SO
states funds have been voted, but
in many instances appropriations
are so small that only a small per
cent of cripples can be aided.
The better state laws include
registration of all crippled chill
dren and a record of their treat
ment: provision of diagnostic
clinics; approval of hospitals
which can accept crippled chill
dren; and follow-up rehabilitation
work to the end that the patient
may grow into an independent
and self-Supporting adult.
