Mounding with soil or peat moss
protects the crown and the lower buds
so that no matter how cold the Winter
may be, some of the top will remain
alive. Many of our cultivated roses
are budded on rootstocks different
than the tops and If killed to the soil
line may be ruined, even though
shoots push up from the rootstock.
Even with own-rooted roses 1t Is not
desirable that the plants be killed back
to the soil because SO much Of the
Summer is required to grow a good
sized plant again. Alternate freezing
and thawing is more difficult for most
plants than is a steady cold Winter
and the protective mounds serve no5
so much to prevent freezing as to pre-
vent changes from day to day. If
good top soil Is used for mounding 1t
may be simply leveled down in the
Spring. Obviously the soil used for
mounding should not be dug from
near the bushes, as such would result
in trench In which ice would collect.
Roses do not thrive in a location
where water stands for any length
of time.
Garden Notes.
THE few remaining clusters Of dead
leaves that still cling to the oaks
and other trees and blow of In storms
are the last evidence that will be
seen of the periodic cicada or locust
for many year. On the whole there
was not great amount of actual
damage done by the hordes of insects.
A mulch of shredded COW manure,
one-half inch or SO in depth, placed
over the bulb beds will do two things
first, keep the soil cool and retard
premature development in early
Spring, and second, serve as a source
Of abundant food for the plants later
on in the Spring.
Lilacs are often grated on the COM

in bundles and planting them deeply
in the garden soil. Next April the
bundles may be dug and the indi-
vidual cuttings planted where the
hedge Is to stand.
Several years ago the Maryland
experiment station tried planting
peach and apple trees in different
manners and in Fall and Spring. Care
less planting, in which the soil was
thrown In about the roots without
tamping, was more harmful in Spring
than in Fall. apparently because OF
the fact that the moisture OF the
Winter season packed the soil and in
measure completed the planting
operation.

whether the bud has lived or not,
because lilac leaves are so different
from those Of privet, and, further
more, privet does not send up root
suckers in the liberal manner that
the lilac does. However, the privet is
not fully as hardy as is the common
lilac. and sometimes lilac plants on
privet roots may be killed at the root
when comparable trees on lilac roots
live.
Privet may be easily propagated by
cuttings taken from thrifty hedge
plants. Late Fall Is a good time to
take these cuttings, either planting
them deeply where they are to form
the hedges or, better yet, tying them

BOARD MAY DELAY
FLAG SALUTE QUIZ.
Attorney OF Prince Georges
Group to Study 0xon Hill
Case Before Ruling.
sy a stan Correspondent of The star

By stah Correspondent of The star.
UPPER MARLBORO. Md, May %.
Further action by the County Board
of Education in the case of the four
Oxon Hill school children who have
been refusing to salute the flag be-
cause of religious reasons. probably
will be delayed until the boards next
regular meeting on June 10. it ap-
peared today.
Waldo Burnside, attorney to the
board and a former commander OF
the American Legion Post at Hyatts-
Vile, who was requested to render
an opinion on the law involved, said
he intended to delve deeply into the
statute books before writing his views.
Burnside said he probably would
not have the opinion ready before
the next board meeting, although
. officials of the board intimated they
would call a special session If the
opinion Of their counsel is prepared
sooner.
University Litigation.
1t also was disclosed by the boards
attorney that he intended to look up
the University of Maryland's litiga-
ton involving two youths who refused
to take military training That case,
which was finally determined unfa-
vorably to the university, may have
some bearing on the principles of law
involved in the flag salute incident,
Burnside said
The school law clearly requires the
board to establish regulations requir-
ing flag .saluting, but makes no Spe-
cific provision for punishment in case
the regulation is Haunted. There are,
of course, general provisions for pun
ishment in case of disobedience.
The board yesterday postponed ac-
tion partially because of the desire
for an opinion from Attorney Burn
side and partially because o. the ab-
sence of Mrs. J. Enos Ray. vice presi-
dent. who was making a radio address
in Baltimore.
Maryland and Liberty.
Members of the board said they were
mindful of Maryland's boast Of being
the cradle of religious liberty in de-
hberating the case at a two-hour ex-
ecutive session officials of the Marl-
boro Post, American Legion. which
adopted a resolution Monday night
urging enforcement of the flag-salut-
ing regulations without exception,
were closeted with the board during
part of the session.
The students involved are the chill
dren Of Mr.. and Mrs. August A. Ludke
and belong to Jehovah's Witnesses, a
religious sect. Their father is a World
War veteran, who served overseas.
One of the girls. Frances, received
q prize offered by the Woman's Club
Of Oxon Hill last year for outstanding
work in Maryland history.
Since refusing to salute the flag they
have been permitted to leave their
cla.5 rooms while the patriotic exer-
cises are in progress. and this ar
rangement will be continued until the
school board takes definite action.

Plenty of Steam to Pro ceed in l936 Campaign
 Says Chairman Fletcher

WASHINGTON, April 6--Chair- man Henry P. Fletcher, of the Re- publican National Committee, told a regional meeting of party lead CTS here that the G. 0. P. treas ury is $25o,00O out of the red, with everything paid.
 There is every prospect of my successor having plenty of steam to proceed in the 1886 campaign" :" he said, reporting on the National Republican Plan to sell 100000 participation certificates at $1 each to help finance the campaign.
 New York, he said, has $50000 outstanding and raised more than $5,O00 in one week.
 Former Senator David Reed, of Pennsylvania, also present at the meeting, acknowledged the party in his State will have a harder fight this year than in 1892, but added that c. o. P registrations are still running ahead of the Democrats. Pennsylvania delegates, he report ed, are running uninstructed. There is a good deal of Landon talk" he told the committee.
