Belligerently reasSerting their de-

expedition. the Cantonese army
today fatty rejected the second
peace appeal telegraphed by Mar

Instead, troops numbering more
than 100000 from Kwangsi and
Kwangtung provinces pressed on
deep into Human, Markings terri
tory, and a battle was believed
imminent near Hengchow.
ChangSha, capital of Human,
reported the southern army had
established headquarters at Heng-
chow. The southerners are await

Marking army, which is expected
to make a stand at Hengchow.
Marshal Chang vainly pleaded
with Cantonese authorities to halt
their armies until the central

phase, however. lasted only as long as
the period of the actual stimulus, and
when it was concluded the rebound i'm
mediately was resumed.
Large areas of this cerebellum serve
no apparent purpose, according to an
other report by DrS. A. D. Keller, r. S.
Roy and w. P. Chase Of the University
of Alabama. They removed large
amounts of cerebellar tissue constituting
practically all of the "neo-cerebellum, ="
the latest to appear in evolutionary
development, without producing much
observable pathological behavior in
monkeys.
All they were able to obtain were
transitory symptoms, which they said
were clearly due to the involvement of
other parts of the little brain" in the
operation. These consisted of leaning
and staggering, overraising of the
limbs in walking, overreaching and
postural tremors.
Seeing and feeling generate heat in
the brain, according to an experiment
reported to the psychologists by r. w.
Gerard and H. Serota of the University
OF Chicago.
They placed minute thermo- junction,
most delicate of heat-measuring devices,
at various points along the optic path
ways in the brain of a cat and then
stimulated these pathways into. action
by holding light before the animals
eyes for a minute.
Within minute after the stimulation
the characterization showed a heat in
crease which continued for about two
minutes, after which the temperature
returned to normal. The maximum in
crease was about a hundredth of a de-
gree centigrade.
The same results were obtained with
thermo-couples placed in the pathway
of tactile sensations in the brain after
pinching. Stroking or maSSaging the feet.
Part of this increase. they reported,
may be due to heat production by active
nerve cells, while part is due to chem
ical effect.

Irrelevant Tax Talk.

Replying to Representative Greenway's
request for information on the local re.
lief situation, Aubrey Williams, deputy
w. p. A. administrator. concludes his
letter with the assertion:
It appears unlikely that there will be
any change in this situation unless ad.
ditional appropriations are made in Con.
gress or new taxes imposed.
Mr.. Williams displays a surprising lack
of knowledge concerning the relief sit
uation in the District. The question OF
local taxes is at present utterly unrelated
to the question of local relief. The
amount of local relief funds appropriated
by Congress does not depend in the
slightest degree on the enactment Of
local tax legislation. The relief appro-
priations have been made in pursuance
of q definite policy by Congress to de-
crease the amount available for relief,
not because of specific local revenue de-
ficiencies.
That fact, taken in connection with
the general situation regarding all ap-
propriative policy for the District, rem
ders fantastic and irrelevant the dis.
cussion concerning tax increases to
finance greater relief appropriations.

creasing gasoline taxes. making avail

Andersen.

His admirers in Europe and America
have organized an international celebra-
ton of the centenary of the publication
of the first fairy tales of Hans Christian
Andersen. The commemoration reaches
Its height today with special observance
of the one hundred and thirty first ami
versary of his birth.
But it may be wondered if the great
fabulist really stands in need Of for
malized appreciation. His immortality
is so definitely assured by the undimin-
ished popularity of his work that cam
paign in his behalf appears uncalled for.
The books to which his name IS indelibly
attached might be trusted to win their
own way against the flood of ephemeral
printing which pours from the press. 1t
was Andersen's fortune to be a pioneer
In a field of literature where many may
labor but only very few excel None
of the army of his imitators ever can
hope to do what he did better than he
did it. He not only established the pat
tern; he also protected it by. the power
of his own use of its mechanisms.
And when men seek for explanation of
the genius of his pen they find that they
must have regard for the. experience of
his soul. The poet was intimately ac-
uuainted with suffering. His spirit had
burned in the fires of human agony.
That was the inspiration of his art. Like
Abraham Lincoln and Charles Dickens,
he learned to love in school of pain.
Lewis Carroll and John Ruskin invented
"Alice in Wonderland" and "The King
of the Golden River" under the influence
Of much the same discipline. The in

The Flood Control Bill.

The squabble which has developed in
the Senate Commerce Committee over
the flood control bill Is typical, but
scarcely encouraging. In the light OF the
recent disastrous floods in New England
and the Middle West, not to mention
PENNSYLVANIA, West Virginia and Mary
land, a demand for the adoption OF
food control measures was to be ex-
pected. The scramble to place in the
bill pet projects, to obtain from the
Federal Treasury millions of dollars for
all kinds of projects which may or may
not be advisable or worth the price, is
In line with pork barrel" legislation
in the past.
Already the total amount in the bill
authorized for the flood relief projects
is nearing the half-billion mark. Sen
ator Copeland of New York, chairman
of the committee, is struggling to keep
the authorizations within reasonable
limits. He fears, however, that when
the bill is finally reported to the Senate
1t may make provision for the expendi-
ture of billion dollars. His fears seem
to be justified in view of the plea made
to the committee by Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, Democratic leader OF the
Senate, who has asked that the bill be
restored at least to it's original $750, ,OOO,-
600 as passed by the House last year.
The argument is advanced that only
part of the money will be needed during
the next fiscal year; that all the money
could not be expended Immediately even
# it were made available. However, If
Congress goes ahead with the whole
program it will mean that these expendi-
lures must be made eventually and will
be a charge against the taxpayers OF
the country.
In view of the huge public debt now
saddled on the country, Congress would
do well to weigh every item that goes
into the food control bill. Log rolling"
which enables the proponents of pet
projects to get their slices OF approprla-
tions, may be good politics but 1t does
not make for economy in government.
The demands made by representatives
of various sections Of the country to
have their share of the Federal money,
accompanied by threats to block all legis-
lation if their demands are not met, are
neither reasonable nor sound.
Obviously there is need OF Hood control
legislation and of construction that will
prevent the disasters which have caused
the loss of hundreds of lives and Of many
millions of dollars. With such legisla-
ton there can be no real quarrel. But
great expenditures of money for flood
control projects should always be justi-
fled. The projects must be passed upon
by competent engineers of the Engineer
Corps of the Army and should be based
upon actual need.

An Imposition of Morals
By Postal Regulations
From the Helena independent.

From the Helena Independent.
Congress is now considering a law
which would tighten postal regulations
in regard to improper books. Under the
present law. proceedings against per-
son accused of committing an improper
book to the mails must be instituted In
the city where the book was mailed;
under the new one, the mailer could be
prosecuted in the community where the
mail is received.
Here is change which is not as HARM
less as it looks. What seems to an iso-
lated and backward community to be an
improper book may not seem improper
at all to the people of metropolis: yet
under this law the ideas of the isolated
community could be enforced on the
metropolis, and New York publishers
could be made to adjust themselves to
the ideas of some backwoods town.
The rural community can protect It
self by local ordinance against books it
disapproves. 1t should not be given the
power to say that books 1t does not like
shall not be printed anywhere in the
country. That would be the effect of
this bill; for that reason, the bill could
well be allowed to die.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Since March was April. will April be
March or May?"
That was question put by an ardent
devotee of the garden.
1t sounds a trifle strange, but mo-
ment's consideration makes it plain. The
month of March was mild and April
like; now, will April, usual month of
showers, revert to the normal stormi-
ness Of March or go ahead with May
flowers?
Those determined persons who raked
and rolled their lawns during the first
two weeks Of March and sowed grass
seed seemed to get great head start"
on those who didn't.
It remains to be seen whether they did.
If April shows cold, bleak days, as March
usually does, 1t may be that the early
birds among the gardeners will not
catch the worm Of new grass so easily.
after all.
1t may be that seeds will remain more
or less dormant until the latter part of
the month, when the real growing squirt
toward the luxuriousness of the end of
May will begin.
The before-handed gardener, then,
may or may not get the jump on those
who linger indoors.
1t is difficult to resist the lure Of those
first real Springlike days. when a ther-
mometer In the open air shows genuine
10 degrees or even little better.
The urge is powerful to get out with
rake or spade or other instrument appro-
pirate to the task.
Yet many persons resist, often with
beneficial effects both for themselves and
the yard.
When is yard garden, after all?
To many persons the most elaborate
garden is always just a yard" whereas
to others even the smallest yard is a
garden"
The truth is that they are perfectly
interchangeable terms in ordinary usage.
Many will believe, however, that yard
never becomes a garden in any sense
until planning enters into 1t. Once it
is planned by a human being, no matter
how small 1t may be, 1t becomes garden"
in the best sense.
There are all degrees of planning. Of
course, so it will never do to attempt to
make hard and fast definition of some
thing which ought to be free from too
many restrictions.
meaning of garden-"garth," or inclosed
Space-will be inclined to call any yard
a garden which has a fence or hedge
around it. Yet here, too, we cannot be
precise, because every one has seen yards
with fences or hedges which in no sense
gave the idea of garden to anybody, not
even their owners.
We may believe that a garden calls up
to others a certain picture of neatness
and that this picture to them represents
what they mean when they use the good
word garden"
Some idea of boundary, then, If no
more than perennial border. and some
idea of neatness, as defined in layout
and good care
These seem to be two essentials of
real garden, small or large or in between.
They presuppose, of course, human
planning. We hear a great deal today
about planning. all over the world, often
in terms which indicate that the idea,
even, is something absolutely new.

demned by highway engineers, and it

reasons the proposal will doubtless be
dropped before it has gone any further
than the loose, impulsive generalizations
which seem to have prompted it.
