MOVE TO bust
FIR IS WANING
Anti-New Deal Democrats
Are in Retreat on
Three Fronts

WASHINGTON, Mar. - (UP)
Apparently authentic informa-
ton available here today indicates
the logical leaders among a:t;i-
New Deal Democrats have decided
to abandon efforts to prevent
! President Roosevelt's renomina-
ton.
They are represented as belicv-
ing u pre-conventiOn stop RooSe-
velt'' movement would be futile.
What Washington wants to know
is whether and how they will OPP
pose the Roosevelt ticket after the
Democratic and Republican nomi-
neeS have been selected.
Boiling leaders usually have
three choices. They may sulk in
their tents. They may JOIN the
enemy or they may organize q
party of their own as did Theo-
dOre Roosevelt in 1912 and the
late Robert NJ. LaFollette in 1924.
Roosevelt and La Toilette took the
big spectacular chance and lost.
First reinsurance to New Deal
leaders was last weeks pledge OF
loyalty from Senator Willard +.
TydingS. He Is not classed pre-
cisely as an anti-New Dealer. But
TydingS has been on the conServa-
tive. critical fringe of the New
Deal during most of Mr.. Roose-
velt'S experiments. Tydings qali-
fled his Roosevelt endorsement
with q warning that Maryland
wants a re-affirmation of tradi-
tional Democratic ideals.
Anti-New Deal Democrats were
in retreat on three fronts yester-
day but Republicans were cheered
when the first test of New Eng
land political sentiment showed
the COP. holding its own.
New Hampshire's presidential
primary named eight Roosevelt
delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention. An insigniti-
cant anti-New Deal opposition was
swamped.
From Georgia came the third
indication of strength of Mr..
Roosevelt's denomination cam
paign. Friends of Gov. Eugene
Talmadge persuaded officials OF
Barrow county to call off a sche-
| duled primary, evidently because
he feared the Roosevelt forces
would pile up q big vote and fur
Their weaken the Tamadge preSl-
Dental candidacy.
Former Governor Ely. of Mass
achusetts let it be known ne
would not try to pledge anti-Ne"
Dealers in the Bay State.
Ely's Boston announcement wa'
| given great attention here. ne
met last week with Alfred Il
Smith, cambridge Colby OF Ne"
York, and former Sen. James A
Reed of Missouri in secret con
ference on "stop Roosevelt strat
egg. He previously had volunteer,
ed to lead the anti-ROosevelt flgh'
in the Massachusetts presidentlaa
primary. When anti-Roosevel'
sentiment failed to matenallze It

1t was the first German sug-

BUNGALOW DESIGN
IS CONTEST CHOICE
July Home of the Month Is First
of Kind to Win Dis
tinction.

The July Home of the Month is a
bungalow, the first bungalow to have
the distinction of choice in the series
of monthly selections made by COM
mittee of the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards, presented in Nc
Calls Magazine, and being built by
realtors in cities over the country
under the Home of the Month plan.
The bungalow plan was submitted
by Charles S Wanless of Springfield,
Ill. and is being built by nine other
realtors in 10 cities.
The floor plan of this one-story
house has been worked over until its
layout represents something like the
ultimate in INABILITY for the amount
of square foot area it contains. Half
the house provides two large bed
rooms bath room and connecting hall
There are six usable closets, including
the one in the front vestibule. The
living room and dining room make
one large room, or the space could
be divided by a partition to create
separate dining room, which could be
furnished in the normal manner. The
kitchen equipment and work spaces
are arranged in a highly efficient
manner. There is f1ue for the range.
The cottage quality of this house is
fitted to a small lot, simply planted.
Color schedules worked out for all the
rooms and landscaping for the yard

Garden Notes.
T Asst week mention was made OF
- the orange milkweed and its
garden possibilities. This plant Is
admirably adapted to local conditions
and one finds 1t growing apparently
most happily on very dry banks.
Another near weed that has some
value is the pink-fowered tansy. 1t
has perhaps no striking characteristics
to commend it for extensive planting,
but this tansy is capable Of making a
nice display in early Summer. It is
Just now passing after several weeks
of blooming
Balloon flowers, in clear blue, violet
blue and clear white, are very attrac-
tive at this season. Sometimes this
species Is called Japanese bellhoweI

The plant is perennial, that Is, lives
from year to year, and can easily be
raised from seed. sown even now In
good soil in a cold frame which car

perennials may be started very nicely
in such a cold frame, especially II the
soil is improved by adding peat moss
or leaf mold.

Lilium Tigrinum.
ON THE morning of July IA the
tiger lily opened its first flowers
in one of our local home gardens and
its advent was hailed with pleasure,
for the orange red blooms set among
attractive green foliage are real hand
some and the capacity Of the plants
to thrive under dry conditions of Mid
summer Is q real delight at this sea-
son. when the gardener is pressed to
keep various plants alive. The tiger
lily is really the most vigorous lily
that finds its way into local gardens.
1t is practically f-perpetuating, by
virtue Of the many black bulbils pro-
duced in the axis of the leaves. Each
of these bulbils is capable of develop
ing into a separate plant. 1t requires
three or four years for a bulbil to
form q Towering plant and one would
be better satisfied to begin his plant
ings with mature bulbs. Tiger lilies
are not without their troubles and are
subject to mosaic diseases, which are
the bane of all the true lilies. How
ever, there are plenty Of healthy
stocks. A mass Of 80 or more tiger
lily plants makes a fine showing, one
which would bring pride to any gar
dener. Tiger lilies are natives of
China and Japan, but are much at
home in Eastern America, and, in fact,
one finds them naturslized as escapes
In certain Northern States. One never
sees seed pods on the tiger lily, as occur

where the potential possibilities Of
the flower were early recognized. Pre-
sumably the phlox is best adapted to
cool, moist soils and partial shade,
but it thrives under many different
conditions if given plant food and
care. The phloX propagates itself
most readily by seed, but, as in most
species of plants, the seedlings do not
exactly resemble their parent and in
fact tend to revert to the primary
magenta type. This reversion on the
part of seedlings has led people to

ened growth with the inner and older
plants becoming almost worthless.
There have been some wonderful new
varieties Of phlox introduced in the
last few years Many of the new
kinds produce large clusters OF clear
pink or reddish flowers totally free Of
the magenta shades which mark ma
tive stocks. One good way to pre-
vent the development of seedlings Is
to cut of and destroy the seed heads
following blooming. The phlox should
be an admirable plant for amateur
breeders for the simple reason that
there Is no difficulty in raising seed
lings, and, too, one has only to walt
two years to see the blooms. AS with
any other flower. the breeder should

its very numbers and by its capacity
to grow along poor roadsides. The
truth Is that some Of our garden
plants are primarily in demand be-
cause Of their rarity. Rather in
stinctively the gardener does not care
to have plants exactly like his
neighbor's and as a result is always
seeking new species.
The drought has interfered with
the planting and seeding in the un-
watered garden. Seeds sown in dry
soil simply waits until rain dampens
the earth and then termination may
be too late for the current season.

believe that phlox varieties run out.
This is not essentially true, for it is
more a question Of the choice varie-
ties being crowded by their vigorous
offspring.
