Asparagus, an early garden crop,
will yield for as long as 16 years.
Plant asparagus early, as soon as
the ground can be prepared. Set
out 1-year-old roots of the rust
resistant Washington variety. Buy
them from a reliable source.

and cover them with about two
inches of good soil. Rows should be
at least Az or feet apart.
AS the young roots develop. grad
ually pull the soil into the furrow
so that level cultivation may be
practiced by midsummer.
Don't cut asparagus the first year.
The second year, a few of the large
spears may be cut for about two
weeks. The third year, asparagus
may be harvested for about five or
six weeks and from the fourth year
on, cutting may be done until July l..
Rhubarb is popular, early spring
vegetable, and if you will plant five
or six clumps of it, there should be
enough to supply the wants of a
family of five persons, with some
left for the neighbors. The roots
should be cut apart, leaving one or
not more than two eyes to each part,
and planted at least four feet apart
in the row. Rhubarb may be pulled
the second season.
HORSERADISH is particularly
IL adapted to moist or low spots
and does not require much attention

A row of Strawberries should be

fluence. He old not demand lulI
power until he was quite certain
that the army would not oppose
him, and when he was sure that
the King would make him prime
minister.
Most people meeting MuSSolini
are surprised at his shortness Of
stature. He is, like Napoleon,
only 5 feet inches. His Shoul-
ders are powerful and his hands
finely formed and almost delicate.
His smile is gritty. His daughter,
Edda, who is his living image. is
the only person who dareS to twit
him. He adores her.
At So MuSSolini is in powerfully
good health, partly as a result Of
attention to severe regime.
Shortly after he became Prime
Minister, he was desperately i'll
with a stomach ailment, and he
eats very little nowadays but milk
and fruit. He loves exercise and
takes a lot of it; riding in the
Torlonia gardens, fencing, swim
ming, hiking.
He neither drinks 1lor smokes.
He cares very little for money,
though his large family makes
him less impervious to financial
considerations than other dlcta-
tors. Mussolini listens to people,
but he seldom takes advice. He
alone makes decisions. When he
wishes, he can make himself as
inaccessible as a Lama. During
the Geneva crisis, when he was in
a roaring temper, no one could get
near him.
Mussolini reads all the time: no
modern statesman is so well ac-
uuainted with current literature.
He keeps a systematic notebook
of his reading. The things that
Mussolini hates most are aristo-
Gratis, money, cats and old age. He
dislikes references to the fact that
he is a grandfather; and when he
reached the age of fifty the Ital-
ian Press was not allowed to men,
ton it.
TOUCHY, SUPERSTITIOUS
The things that Mussolini loves
most are the city of Rome, his
daughter, Edda, peasants, books,
airplanes and speed. He is apt to
straddIe a. motorcycle and, like the
late Colonel Lawrence, hurl him
self across a country at night.
His intuition, personal and pollt-
ical. is sensitive. He says:
81 cannot change myself. 1
am like the beasts. 1 smell
weather before it changes. If
submit to my instincts, I never
err"
He is an orator Of the pen. He
wrote his way to power. Like all

Local Appointments

The Commissioners have at last got around to filling
the job of Corporation Counsel of the District
For about five months they left the District without
an incumbent in the chief law office of the local govern
ment but finally they appointed Mr. Elwood H. Seal to
the position
Mr.. Seal has been member of the Corporation Coun-
sells staff for several years and has been resident of
the District for many years.
HE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE WORKINGS OF THE
OFFICE WHICH HE ASSUMES AND BECAUSE OF
HIS RESIDENCE HERE, SHOULD BE FAMILIAR
WITH LOCAL CONDITIONS.
It no small Job that Mr. Seal undertakes in accept
ing the appointment
Because of the pecuarites of the local government
the office of Corporation Counsel deals with many prob
lens of extreme complexity.
Not the least of these is one LUhich although not
strictly included in the duties of the office is of the
utmost in1pOrtance-the task of representing the
city at hearings before Congressional committees
Many Corporation Counsels of the past have found in
the work with Congress the greatest field for service
notably Mr. William w. Bride
Mr.. Bride held office at particularly troublesome
time and his diplomatic training stood him and the Dis
trict in good stead in dealing with Congress
We hope that Mr.. Seal will have a successful admin
istraon in his new position and that he will remember
that although the residents of the District don't have
vote they do put up the money to pay his salary.
While the Commissioners appointing Mr. Seal
as Corporation Counsel they also disposed of another
local ob that of Poundmaster appointing another local
man. Mr.. Frank B. Marks, to the position.
veteran of the District service, Mr.. Marks won his
appointment over many candidates who had received
political Endorsement
The fact that both of the appOintees are Washing
ton residents and haze been the Government serU
ice is gratifying.
WE LOOK TO THE COMMISSIONERS TO CON-
TINUE TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS IN THE DIS
TRICT SERVICE FROM OUR OWN CITIZENS.

'Ts it lust for power that pos
SeSSeS me?" he once said. "NO,
1 believe, in all conscience, no
Italian thinks this. Not even my
worst adversary. It is duty. A
precise duty toward the revOlu-
ton and towards Italy"
His histronic ability is extreme.
No modern politician, except, pos
sibly, Trotsky, is so good an
actor. Above all, he possesses a
passionate physical magnetism.
His vitality expresses itself in
every gesture. When he salutes,
for instance, he shoots out his
arm with such intensity that you
think the hand might fall off.
This vitality is readily absorbed
by others.
When he arrives before troops
for review, his presence has al
most the effect of an electric
shock. He is intensely touchy and
SuperStitious. There nave been
five or six attempts to assasSi-
nate MuSsolini; he is profound
fatalist, but not so much so that
severe precautions to guard him
are not taken. Julius Caesar, he
thinks, was the greatest man
that ever lived. He has identified
himself with Caesar closely.

Of politics and business, of the
sin, suffering and strife in the
world outside her hollyhock hedge,
she was as ignorant as her own

ANOTHER SIDE
But alas!-and many an alack!
there's another side to the pic
ture. For every woman who knows
that the Wrapper Era has passed,
there are thousands who don't

dwadle through life as mentally
unbuttoned as Dear Old Grand
ma.
Now, mind you, I've nothing
against Grandma per Sc. I
Knew Her When-and loved her.
'S'matter of fact, I'm her con-
temporary in years, and chair
rocked with the best of 'em in
my own wrapper days.
But those days have passed,
sisters. And the performance
which was Good Enough in 1886
is a Failure, Flop and Complete
Pain-in-the-NeCk in 1886.
There's no more tragic spec
tacle in our times than the
female who is still trying to be
a Dear Little Woman and moth
ing else but who believes that
"a pretty face will hold her hus-
band and a kind heart command
respect from her children. In
variably such a wife or mother
faces heartbreak from a bored
man and contemptuouS sons and
daughters.

There's no excuse for wrappers
in the Machine Age. There is
neither time nor place for rock
ing-chair dawdlers, for citizens,
male or female, who can't keep
in touch with the tempo and
transitions of a swiftly changing
world.

She must know what life's about

he has cut II hep. Josh Leo
short to just Josh Lee. Representa-
tive Randolph was named by Mr..
Bryan at Mountain Lake Park,
Md, on the request of Mr.. Ran
dolph's father and he carries the
Great Commoner'S middle name
as his first.
Furthermore, the two young men
are considered able and distin-
guished speakers and are the only
two members to be elected direct
to Congress from teaching public
speaking. Representative Lee was
professor of public speaking at the
University of Oklahoma and Rep
reSentative Randolph was profes-
sor of public speaking at Davis
and ElkinS College, w. Va.
Although the older heads in the
House warned Representative Lee
against his campaign for the Sen
ate, Representative Randolph pre-
dicted year ago that Representa-
tive Lee would win out.
Representative Randolph dis
pelS the legend that all West
VirginianS are grim-faced noun
taineerS without sense of hu-
NOR. On a flying trip to the
Capital he brought the following
story with him:
The date for the annual reunion
of the Lilly family of West Virginia
has been set for sometime in the
near future at Flat Top, w. Va.
This family is so large that be-
tween 10000 and 10000 persons
attend.
Abe Lilly, one of the most in
fluential members of the family
and a political power in his State,
declares that at reunion during
prohibition the following incident
took place. The reunion was held
in the heart of the moonshine
district. The chairman raped
for order and called Upon John
Lilly to speak.
Eighty-Six men by that name
stood up. The confusion was a
little too much for everyone for a
moment and then the chairman
said:
81 mean John Lilly, the boot
legger."
And, according to Abe, only
three sat down.
A touch of irony lies behind the
fact that Representative Thomas
