One New Judge a Sample
OF Five Possible Others
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
When F. D. r. made his fireside chat
asking Congress to let him pack the
Supreme Court with six yesmen, he stated
that 1T is absurd for any one to state
that I would appoint any but good men
to the high position of justices of the
Supreme Court" Other speakers who
were In favor Of packing the Supreme
Court stated, Remember, the United
States Senators have to confirm all
presidential appointees to the Supreme
Court and they would not confirm man
not suitable for the position" The peo-
pie OF the United States now know the
class Of men that F. D. r. would have
appointed had he been given the right to
appoint the six he requested and the con-
firmation Of same by a subservient Sen
ate. EDWARD P. HUBBELL.

August.
Angus is de weedy month,
De sultry an de seedy month,
When de weather man keeps singin'
mos uncomfortable tunes.
Dey talks about humidity
OATS wusser dan torridity.
An moonlit nights is mos as hot as
sunlit afternoons.
But sing along, brother!
Cause de oysters in de bay
An de 'simmon an de 'possum
Ain so very far away.
De rain dat comes a-drizzlin'
In puff O. steam goes sizzlin
An you has to grab de eggs befo dey
peaches in de coop.
But de breeze, it comes a-driftin'
An de winds will keep a-shiftin'
Till de frost brings out de color an de
leaves no longer droop.
So sing along, brother
Though you has to wave fan;
De rabbit is a-runnin'
An he's headed foh de pan!

die out in late July.
Sometimes too much water on such
lawn Is worse than too little, but the
only way to determine this Is to try first
one way and then the other, giving the
grass an opportunity to show which
method it prefers.
Some lawns are so well drained that
keeping water at the roots is a great
problem. Others are so heavy a foot
beneath the surface that the roots are
kept too wet.
Even when a lawn is completely torn
up and remade, 1t is not always possible
to get those doing the work to do it cor
rectly.
Sometimes hard clay is spaded up, and
then thrown on the top of the area to
be seeded, instead of fresh topsoil being
used.
The hard clay packs, and practically
chokes the life out Of the tender seedlings.
Small boulders, rocks and gravel work
their way up beneath lawn, and cause
state Of dryness which kills out q
lawn in patches.
Often the only way to remedy this
condition is to dig down and take up the
offending stones.
Grass at the edges of concrete walks
often trys its best to grow on jagged edges
OF concrete left sticking out beneath the
dirt
The only way to get this grass to grow
neatly to the desired edge is to dig down
and chisel of the jutting concrete
These are some of the problems met
with In an average small lawn.
Two nSlal mist okpS rna6o ne
plot soWn to grass in the Fall. One is to
put off this work until too late. The other
is to fail to keep the new plants wet.
II the work is deferred until late in
September, there is every chance that
not enough time may be secured for
good blade and root growth before cold
weather sets in.
The days pass swiftly, in the Fall,
probably just little quicker than at
almost any other season of the year
1t is easy to put of lawn reseeding If
the entire season is mild and open, this
may be all right, but the chances are
against it.
The longer the growing season, the
better chances the lawn maker will have
of getting a really good stand Of grass
Whereas the seeds may germinate in
three days, and push small blades through
the soil in good shape, as much as %
days are necessary, in most cases, for a
really good stand that may be cut sat-
isfactorily.
When this stand is secured, no time
should be lost cutting it. In the average
lawn these new plants will be growing
among old ones, and if both types are
kept we'll watered, the natural standstill
is put off for several weeks.
1t is natural for grass plants as we'll
as most other types to tend to cease to
function in the Autumn in this climate.
Plenty of water keeps them going if
the days are reasonably warm. Without
the water they are all too ready to dry
up-dehydrate themselves, in other words
preparatory to the dormant period.
If trees. shrubs, evergreens and grass
could be kept plentifully watered until
the advent of really cold weather, there
can be little doubt that Drowned speci-
mems would be rare, and that growth in
the Spring would begin earlier and with
greater vigor.

Shooting Stars.

Anxious Inquiry.
InveStiga tions are declared
To be the nations need.
No care or labor should be spared
In making them succeed.
The things We see, the things we say,
The things we wear or eat,
The books we read, the games we play
Want censoring complete.
Deep gratitude we can't neglect
For such a scheme as this,
And yet sometimes we half suspect
That ignorance would be bliss!
