and to reflect Mr.. Pope's skill and ex-
perience as master architect.
OF course, 1t is an infinite pity that
neither the philanthropist nor the de-
signer could survive to see their work
completed. Yet, so carefully had they
planned, the task may be finished with
out difficulty. Mr.. Mellon closed his
career content in his mind about 1t; Mr..
Pope, likewise, YVES satisfied that his
composition would be finished In the
spirit in which it had been begun. The
vision was mature. All that remains is
the business of translating the dream
into reality.
But Washington, taking note of his
passing, must remember that Mr.. Pope's
interest in the Capital pre-dated his
engagement as architect for Mr.. Melons
gift. In 1916 he designed the Scottish
Rite Temple, the most beautiful Ma

Franklin County Farmers
Go Back to Pigs and Corn

To the Editor Of The Star
have just returned from a fortnight's s
sojourn in Franklin County, Pennsyl-
vanla. I saw things up there that were
revelation to me. Shocking, disgrace
ful things For instance, the roads for
miles around were bordered with waving
f1elds OF corn. 1t seems that many of
those silly farmers up there absolutely
refuse to take Hazy Hen Wallace seri-
ously. or course, some of them are per-
fectly willing to fall for Hens crackpot
theory OF crop control and accept benefit
checks in return for their votes. In the
main, however, they seem determined
come hell or high water, to once again
have corn. A beneficent Providence, in
the form of seasonable weather, is COL
laborating with them and it looks as
though the song of the corn shelter will
once again be heard in the land Don't
think for a minute they haven't worked
for that corn! Help is scarce and the
farmers have worked early and late. The
'reliefers" up there are not going to help
raise corn or anything else as long as
they can draw relief" pay from this
dizzy New Deal Government in return
for the mild exertion of marking ballot
right"
Another shocking thing I saw was sew
eral litters of little pigs. Judging from
the price Of ham and bacon I had come
to the conclusion that the noble hog
was practically extinct in the United
States OF America. I was at loss to
understand why these pigs were so
frightened when drove up Then 1 re-

TONER from Washington
Yes, it looks as though some of those
stubborn and foolish Franklin County
farmers are trying to recapture the lost
art of doing their own thinking instead
OF letting bright little lads from Columbia
University do it for them. Looks as
though they would rather raise their
own bacon than buy imported bacon with

payers. A disgusting exhibition of those
old-fashioned virtues called thrift and
self-respect! S. H. MUMFORD.

How Rex Was Found.

Rex, Belgian police dog, was lost in
the wilds of New York City. His home
is at Newburgh, but when picked up
at Riverside drive and seventy-sixth
street, he could not explain where he
belonged. An unidentified stranger sent
him to the Ellin Prince Speyer Hospital
for Animals. There 1t was discovered
that he wore a license disc which had
been issued by the State Department of
Agriculture. A phone call produced the
name Of his owner. But telegram to
the Newburgh address remaining un-
answered, the hospital staff enlisted the
help of the postmaster of that town
with the result that the canine wanderer
was retrieved by his proprietor. 1t is
supposed that his adventures began
when he was jolted out Of a rumble
seat. They ended because he was reg
istered.

What 1t does before and after bloom
ing, however, is worth considering.
This Is vine which will never cause
any trouble. Sometimes such things as
the climbing rose Dr. Van Fleet throws
out such long and thorny canes that
they grow over too far into neighoor S
yard. Then he curses nightly, and
thinks something should be done about
1t. The owner, with the best will in the
world, realizes the situation, but has so
much to do that he finds it difficult to
remember the other side of the fence
This is common situation, in garden
ing, and one which deserves more at
tentlon than 1t gets. A vine on a fence
Will grow; 1t must grow somewhere Usu-
ally 1t tries for the light, often with dis
astrous consequences to human tempers
A fence and its planting costs money,
OFTEN the "other side of fence" receives
more benefit from the background of
fence and planting than the owners side
This should be kept in mind.

Rampant vines with large "stickers'

are notoriously hard to handle, not only
because OF those mighty thorns, often,
but also because the owner is appalled,

Even a few inches of this vine in

There is something about it which re-

Not so 'heady," but perfectly sweet as

known as "soggy," have one good point,
that of making the flower scents come

This is where good nose comes in.
Not every one is blessed with a keen
