RESCUE SQUAD STRIKES

ARLINGTON, Va, Feb. 2-Tak-
ing the position that Sheriff'S
office investigation of emergency
calls causes undue delay, volunteer
members of the Clarendon fire de-
partment rescue squad yesterday
went on a strike and refused to
answer ambulance calls.
Their strike started at midnight
last night and will continue as
long as the police deputies are
given authority to direct ambu-
lance runs, Clarendon fire depart
ment officials declared.
Arlington County's other ambu-
lance, that of the Jefferson Dis
trict rescue squad, continued to
operate today, although it could
not be learned this morning
whether the volunteer members Of
that company are planning to join
the Clarendon unit.
The situation was precipitated
by recent order of County Man
ager Frank C. Hanrahan. in which
he directed the Sheriff's depart
ment to handle all ambulance
calls. Formerly calls for the am
bulance were sent direct to fire
houses by switchboard operators
at Arlington Court House.

WHEELER RAIL
PROBE NEAR
END IN ROW
BY ROBERT HUMPHREYS

Charged with having cost the
Interstate Commerce Commission
100000 by using II of its en-
ployes full time for II months, the
fate of the Senate committee in
vestigating railroads hung in the
balance as it's chairman, Senator
Wheeler CD of Montana, flared
into a three-cornered row yesterday
with the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the House Ap-
propriationS Committee.
In quick succession. testimony
of Interstate Commerce CommiS-
sion Secretary George B. McGlnty
was made public containing tne
charges the independent Offices
appropriations bill was voted out
by the House committee with a
rider attached to stop the practice,
and Wheeler threatened to drop
his probe into the financial mazeS
of railroads if the rider prevailed
Use of Staff
McGinty told the House COM
mittee that Wheeler's committee
since July, 1885, had made full-time
use of 81 of I. C. CS I'll account
ing experts, or one-third Of its en-
tire staff. Their salaries, he teStl-
fled. ranged from $1,000 to $10,-
900 a year and totaled 1882, ,638.
Twenty other I. c. C. employees
were paid $34,617 by the commits
sion while they worked for the
committee. In addition. more than
$4,000 was spent on travelling for
the committee.
Wheeler said:
"The railroads have been do
ing a lot of lobbying to Scuttle
this committee. If am de-
prived of using 1. C. C.'S experts,
I'll wash my hands of the whole
thing. AS a matter of fact, If
the 1. C. C. had done its work
right in the first place, we would
never had to have this inveStiga-
ton"
NOT 1. C. C. WORK
Asserting that the Wheeler
probe "is not our work." and that
it caused neglect" of 1. C. C. work,
McGlnty said:
I'VE would be very glad to be
relieved of such Investigations,
but we feel a certain amount of
obligation. 1t puts us in an
embarrassing situation some
times. We try to stay on good
terms with everybody, if we
can. But we do not want to
neglect work assigned to us
by law to perform duties not
specifically required"
Chairman Buchanan CD of the
House Appropriations Committee
interpoSed:
"As far as am concerned, you
can tell the chairman of the
Senate committee that the
House objects to that expendi-
ture for carrying out the pur-
poses of that resolution or any
such resolution, unless it is
passed by both the House and
the Senate and signed by the
President"

spent the summer in the soil are only
now beginning to make root growth
which is the best possible index to
proper planting time. The selection
Of tulip varieties is rather batting,
what with the new groups, such as the
Mendels and Triumphs, coming into
the picture. 1t may be well to hold
fast to the Darwin, Breeders and Cot
tage groups for while because within
these three groups may be found the
loveliest Of tall gowing kinds.
Rose planting should be at its best
IN middle November, for it is now
cool enough to keep the new plants
at rest until spring. Some gardeners
take extreme care in preparing the
rose beds, digging down to two or
more feet and placing stable manure
beneath the plants. Whether such
costly preparation is fully necessary
is something of question, but there
is one certain fact that it can do no
harm.
Here and there one sees home gar
deners digging out overgrown shrubs
and replacing them with new, vigor-
GUS, young stock. In many instances
this is a wise plan because it is al
most impossible to renovate an old
timer.
A warm, cloudy fall, with abundant
rains, may restrict the formation of
bright-colored foliage, according to
Dr. Wyman Of the Arnold Aboretum.
With insufficient sunlight sugar pro-
duction is greatly lessened and, with
warm nights, the sugar is more readily
conveyed back into the tree and roots.
This explanation may account for the
lack of color this autumn on many
OF our usually brilliant trees.
Crab-grass lawns appear rather
disconsolate at this season, without
single spear of green showing where
perhaps last spring there was a con-
siderable stand of blue grass and white
clover. The crab grass, being an an
nual plant, has now died, but has
left multitude of seeds for next
years crop. The dense mass of
tangled stems should be gone over
with a strong steel rake and the refuse
taken off the lawn. Then some good
grade grass seed should be sown over
the roughened surface. Some of this
may terminate this fall and some will
rest until early spring. depending on
the type of winter that follows.
A covering of peat moss between the
perennials will help them to winter
successfully and will be useful in
spring for working into the soil An

Several of our vegetables will over

One Of the best house plants, &C.

seem well adapted to the dry, warm

leaves vary greatly in color in diff

beauty of the plants rests almost en-

fact the results have been so favorable
that Mr.. Simmons is re-establishing

At the same time weak plants and old
plants which have passed their pin

young stock. Not every gardener is
fortunate enough to have such fine
material savailable, but any one could
work shredded COW manure and bone
meal into the lower soil, at the same
time discarding gravel and sticky clay
in favor of top soil. Probably the i'm
proved lower soil serves in several
ways not only in better fertility but
also by improving drainage conditions
and by holding moisture during dry
periods 1t might be advisable to plant
q few varieties well rather than
greater number in superficial

Seed sown in May and early June
often develops into plants which be-
come too large to winter well. Most
all of these plants benefit by light

heavy cover will smother the plants,
as they need air and little light dur

list Of shrubs as suitable for planting
in partially shaded areas: Bumalda
spirea, pink weigela, coral dogwood,
hills Of snow hydrangea, maple leaf
viburnum. Japanese barberry, noun
tain laurel. coralberry, snowberry, tar

privet. Among low-growing plants
recommended are plantain lily, ST.

lily. columbine, foxglove, lily of the
valley. monkshood and beebalm. Ferns
are also declared very suitable. For
a grass mixture under shade, half and
half of fescue and of rough-stalked
meadow grass is suggested.

would dare discuss Marcia at all.
But Abe was not through; he took
Sandy'S silence for stunned sur
prise instead Of the smouldering
anger it was, and he went on to
say, IT guess we were we'll rid of

to the races and gave her 500 to

He paused to get breath, not
noticing Sandy's calculating

and whispered slyly, Il guess that

powerful swing in the direction of

come within hitting distance of
those dangerous fists, he flung a
piece of cardboard in Sandy's d.

CHAPTER ~

MARCIA, still waiting for
Sandy, caught Paula's apprehen-
sive glances toward the clock
when full hour passed, and there
was still no sign of Sandy.
HE said to send an ambulance
if he didn't come back" she began
seriously. do you suppose"
The opening door cut short her
question, and Sandy himself
stalked in. He stopped abruptly
when he saw Marcia, saying,
what are you doing here ?"
Marcia was overweight, worry
ing over the possible crisis at
Acme, and she answered briefly,
Nothing much. l came to see
you"
The man looked lntently at
Marcia, and as he studied her sim
cere and charming face, he
couldn't find it in his heart to
credit any of the slurring remarks
of either Abe or Walt. "Come into
my Office, Marcia. I want to talk
to you," he said, and her heart
beat quickly. What did he have
to tell her that caused him such
grave concern? She waited while
he discussed some instructions
with Paula, then faced him brave
ly.
"I'd like to know why you went
to Acme" she came directly to
the point. '"That is if it's any Of
my business"
IT guess anybody on the floor
could tell you. I kicked up quite
a rumpus I'm afraid hope" he
said, and of a sudden he saw the
funny aspect of the recent trouble,
and grinned boyishly. "Tll bet
that little shyster hasn't had such
a thorough licking since his moth
er used to use the hairbrush on
him."
For a minute Marcia joined his
mood, relishing the idea of the
pompous Abe in a rough and tum-
BILE fight. Then she wondered
what had caused the fisticuffs and
questioned Sandy. "Why? Did
you hit him on general princi-
ples?"
,"Well-there, and a few other
places" Then he suddenly So
bered. Marcia, what can honest

that. Doesn't he realize that an

business" he chided her, II don't
suppose you'd want me to inter-
fere, but think you should know
Abe is spreading some pretty bad
talk about YOU"
Marcia looked at him inquir-
ingly.
IT wouldn't insult you by asking
if it's true" he began, then
stopped to consider. In the pleas
ure he'd felt at finding Marcia in
his Office, he had thrust some I'M
pleasant details to the back OI his
mind AS he reviewed the con-
versation at Acme, they began to
assail him with startling clarity.
He was thinking particularly Of
the news item Walt had thrown at
him in departing. Was there still
something behind that trip which
Marcia hadn't confded, something
mysterious that had caused even
Paula to mention the incident at
the airport? He was too proud to
ask her for further information,
But the thing ranked in his mind.
Why hadn't he brought the clip
ping to study it more carefully?
During the next few minutes
Sandy seemed k~eoccupied, his
mind focused on that tell-tale
picture, hunting vainly for an ex-
PLANTATION of the glazing headline
and the informal pose.
Marcia herself felt only relief.
Obviously, Abe hadn't accused him
of being responsible for the theft
of the Sheer-S Sheen account, or
Sandy would have told her. There
fore he would be spared the humil-
iation of thinking this story was
being passed along the advertising
grapevine. In her serene new con-
fdence she discounted the posi-
bility that either Abe or Hartley
could poison Sandy's mind against
her.
Sandy's next question Jared her
out of her false security when he
asked, Marcia, tell me something
truthfully. Just how well do you
know this Hartley?"
Marcia flushed, and miserably
Sandy watched the blood rush to
her cheeks. "Just since he came
to Acme" she said, land I've hated
him almost as long" This last
was a sincere ejaculation, straight
from her heart.
"You hate him, yet you go with
him to the races-oh, don't worry.
II don't believe YOU stole his
money!-then you fly to Mexico
with him-what else? ?" Again
Sandy was following his old tactics
of building case that seemed bit
terly true. His ungovernable jeal-
ousy caused him to misjudge facts,
to suffer unnecessarily. But if he
had brought upon himself a flood
Of unhappiness, he likewise had
pulled Marcia's house of cards
down around her ears.
The past months establishment
had naturally weakened her re-
sistance to any kind of opposition
and, whereas she might once have
laughed at Sandy's unreasoning
jealousy, it burned deeply into her
heart that day. Let him think
what he would, she would never
explain. And with the air of writ
ing "finis, to another episode of
her complicated romance, she
walked deliberately and wordless-
ly out of the Office.
