THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

trouble is that most vines refuse to stay
small; they want to stretch up, and out;
In time they smother growth, dulling
the clean cut outlines of majestic limbs,
sapping the structure at the very roots.
The tree with huge vines on 1t Is
much more likely to blow down In Sum-
mer thunderstorms than the same tree
would be without any such encum-
brances.
Since proper pruning <of a wistaria
on tree is very difncult, after the vine
has developed thick stalks, and gone to q
good height, there can be little doubt
that the best way to handle them is
never to permit them to grow tall
The real best way, however, Is not to
plant them at trees.
Even the birds do not like trees too
heavily shrouded in vines.
A certain amount OF vine growth they
tolerate, but after it reaches higher and
becomes thicker, they tend to shun the
entire affair, seldom nesting in the vine,
although of1hand one might think it
would appeal to them.
We believe that the birds, with the
wisdom of the centuries, know before
likely to crack up in storm, and there
fore shun them for the sturdier speci-
mems which can sway and bend without
hindrance.
The belief that great tough vines
'help hold the tree up" is sheer hokum
Those tough Wistaria canes may look
strong, and be rather hard to prune, but
rest assured that they will not be the
slightest aid to tree if the wind blows
it down.
Wistarias, particularly, are gross feed
ers. and take away from the tree roots
some of the plant food which they other
wise would get all to themselves.
The battle for food is not dramatHed
In the plant kingdom, but it goes on
ruthless, just as in the animal world.
Here, too, the fittest survive. Usually
that means the strongest, the tree or
shrub or plant with the largest root sys-
TENS, the best leaves, especially those
untouched by insect or fungus.
Such specimens. whether large or small
are able to reach out their roots the
farthest, and draw in the most food
Whatever they get something else does
not get.
1t is all a matter of comparative
values, there as here.
The tree with too big a vine growth
on it suffers much as it would from a
parasite. A vine is not a parasite, ex-
actly, but in some instances a great wis
taria or bittersweet probably has an even
worse effect on a tree.
We spoke here the other day OF a
monstrous bittersWeet vine which has
so covered locust that it presents the
appearance Of a mass of greener about
10 to II feet in diameter, all semblance
of trunk and branches having been lost.
Last year. when this vine was not so
rampant, bluebirds came to house
fixed to the trunk. After the leaves
came out there still was plenty Of room
for birds to get in and out
This year the vine has leafed out SO
amazingly that there is no room for even
a bird to fly in and out that house
There can be little question that vines
OF any type which grow to this proper
ton had better be pruned.

cheer up many of the Senators when he
announced yesterday that he believed
that Congress should put through the
wages and hours bill, the proposed farm
bill and the housing bill before it
adjourns. He submitted from his COM
mittee a report on the wages and hours
bill, considerably lessening the powers
of the proposed Federal Labor Standards
Board, and fixing 40 cents an hour as
the highest minimum wage and 40 hours
a week as the lowest maximum hours
week the board could establish. If that
bill is brought up, Senator Vandenberg of

it his proposals to make labor unions

Senator Pittman, the President pro
tempore, has indicated that he will hold
that the rule applies to the Legislative
day." If he does an appeal will be taken
from his ruling and that question will be
debatable and will be debated probably
at length. If his ruling is upheld, the
opponents of the bill will still be able to
offer innumerable amendments upon
which they may speak twice, no matter
how long the Legislative day" is contin-
ued. Several amendments are already
being suggested. One, that the bill shall
not apply to any of the sitting justices
of the Supreme Court; another that the

compromise bill, so that the President
may name one additional justice only

Unless there is a change in the program,
the opposition will have it's first pre-

Senate today. The debate has aroused
tremendous interest and the galleries are
constantly crowded, and even the mem

of the measure are resourceful. It seems

GROCER SUCCEED
BY TWO ROBBERS
IN LATE H0LDUP
Stick-up Men Flee as Mer-

Them in Dark

Jim Ellen, proprietor Of Jim Ell
lens Cash Grocery store on Will
loughby Avenue, was beaten on the
head with pistol by two uniden-
titled holdup men late Wednesday
night who got only good scare
for their troubles.
The two men entered Ellen's dark
ened store at 1l:45 pm. and asked
for package of oatmeal that was
shelved in a corner of the store
where vision to the street was OBJ
scnred.
When Ellen reached for the oats,
one of the men commanded stick
'em up!'
Ellen whirled on him and grabbed
his gun arm. Graphing with him,
he was slowly overpowering the
thug who had demanded stick 'em
up when the thug called for help
from his partner, who leaped on Ell
len and hit him twice with a pistol
on the head.
Dazed, but not unconscious, Ellen
then fought with both men, but
after hanging on to them and try
ing to overpower them in a pro-
longed struggle, the two broke away
and one fired a wild shot that missed
Ellen several feet.
AS the robbers fled through the
door, Ellen grabbed the nearest
things handy and threw them after
their retreating forms. 1t is under
stood the missiles were all-day suck
ers and a can of baby chocolate.
In Ellens pocket was $500 in
cash and checks that Ellen said he
was carrying because it was pay day
and just before a holiday.
City police today questioned eight
men in connection with the attempt
ed robbery. Officers of the MarshaPs
office are also working on the case.

the profession barred him because
he was not a Canadian citizen, SO

RELIEF FUND
COLLECTIONS
COST MONEY
For Every 81 Sent to Spain
1t Has Taken SIC
to Get 1t
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-For ev-
cry American dollar of relief and
assistance going to Spain in the past
tive months, 81 cents has been paid
out in the United States for salar-
les, publicity and other admins
trative expenses.
That, in brief, is the record shown
by the report of the State Depart
ment which has the job of total
ing up in cold figures all the money
donated in hot enthusiasm or semi
hot enthusiasm for the fighting
factions in old Iberia.
OF $548,765 collected, 1901 ,001 has
been sent to Spain while $l73,585
has been spent for overhead. A
balance of S117627 remains in the
kitty.
Of these figures are added togeth-
err, they don't balance. That's be-
cause the State Department began
making the summary only last May
under the amended neutrality act
and some of the collections pre-
coded that period.
An examination of the tabula-
ton indicates that it is really a first
line task to get the dollar-giving
public worked up about what is 60
ing on in Spain. Some of the organ
izations collecting funds for this
and that purpose did very well. But
some had such costly time col
lecting money that little or nothing
was left to send to Spain.
