s. ssays'' of Emerson
For Times Readers

Emerson's E Essays, thirteenth
book in the series of the Worlds
Greatest Literature library, were
first delivered in the form of adj
dresses. They were replete with
keen epigrams and suggestive
aphorisms. Emerson inspired at
tention by arresting emotional ap-
peals.
His work, however, ranks not
only with the best in America, but
is accepted as leading in world
thought. The style of the essays is
somewhat abrupt, but plain, pure
and unaffected in diction.
Surely a fine addition to the IL
books that have been presented in

week plan, Emerson's Essays will
grace thousands Of bookshelves
this weekend.

OkIahoman Says City
Rate Should Be
Lowest in u. S.

Civic and business organization
representatives and others who op-
pose the gasoline increase, automo-
bile weight and insurance COM
pany taxes proposed by the Dis
trict Commissioners will be given
their first opportunity tomorrow
to express their views before the
special House District Subcommit-
tee considering tax reforms for the
city.
It is known that certain automo-
bile organizations will make strong
appeals in opposition to the pro-
posal of the Commissioners to raise
an additional 81, 100000 by increas-
ing the gasoline tax from 2 to 3
cents a gallon, and it is expected
that these same groups will vigor-
ouSly protest the recommendation
of the city heads to substitute a
graduated auto weight tax for the
existing 81 auto registration fee.
Backed by Nichols
These groups will have the sup
port of Representative Jack Mich
OILS CD, of Oklahoma, in their plea
against an increase in the gasoline
tax. The Oklahoman has ex-
pressed the view that this increase
might not prove to be a wise one.
He said:
"My reaction is that the Dis
trict, by its peculiar setup in that
it doesn't have interlOcking Gov
err 'ent agencies to deal with,
such as is the case in other mu-
inequalities where they must con-
tend with city, county and State
governments, should have the
lowest tax rate in the country.
The taxes here should be equi-
tably distributed over the whole
tax field without excess burden
on any group.
IF we broaden the tax base
of the District such as has been
proposed, think you'll find that
you'll have plenty of money to
carry on the functions of the
local government here without
loading more taxes on gasoline

was Is years ago and with the eX
ception of trips abroad, she has
devoted her life to raising watel
lilies. She said with a smile:
Il love them as 1 would my
own children"
Her business has grown so that
now there are 40 pools where once
there were three. She has seven
people working for her. During the
water lily season, which lasts from
May till September, men in boats
go out each morning at daybreak
to gather the buds.
Must Work Fast
Mrs. Fowler cuts, washes and
selects them for the market. They
must be handled before they open,
and as there are hundreds Of
them, the work is hard and fast.
By noon the Water Lily Lady
is ready to meet the public. She
shows buyers around her pools,
visits private pools to recommend
the proper plants, sees that the
daily shipments to Boston, Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh and other
large cities east of Chicago are
taken care of, and does a little
hybridizing with a camers hair

She lectures before garden and
horticultural clubs, makes up her
catalogue and does water coloI

rare specimens. During visit to

NINE MILLION
HIS ESTIMATE
FOR SHRINE
Landscape Is Huge
Item in Expense, He
Tells House Group

The ultimate cost of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial, if constructed
in accordance with present memo
rial commission plans, will run
between seven and one-half and
nine million dollars, it was tes-
titled today by Arno B. Cammerer,
of the National Pank and Plan
ming Commission.
Testifying before the House Lii
brary Committee, the planning
commission official declared that
although the memorial proper
could be constructed within the
three-million-dollar sum which has
been allowed, he explained that
the landScaping would cost an ad-
ditional four and one-half to six
million dollars.
He revealed, however, that John
Russell Pope, architect for the
structure, is considering changes
in the present plans, and expressed
the belief that the changes will
eventually be made to reduce the
cost. He was Skeptical, however,
that even these changes would
allow completion of the job on the
Tidal Basin site within anywhere
near three million dollars.
Ask reconsideration
Both Representatives Kent E.
Keller (D.> of Illinois, committee
chairman, and Allen Treadway
(RO of Massachusetts, ranking
minority member, indicated that
they favored bringing this cost
data to the attention of Congress
for further consideration. Keller
asserted:
"When the bill creating the
Memorial Commission went
through the House it was agreed
that the cost should be limited
to $3,OOO,OOO. doubt that the
House would have approved the
legislation if the authorization
was for much more than that
amount.
"NOw, I believe that in view of
the estimates that were given us
today by Mr.. Cammerer, we
should tell Congress about it and
let Congress decide how much it
wants to spend on this project"
Mr.. Treadway concurred with
the sentiments voiced by the com.
mittee chairman and added that
if the project is to cost so much
more than it was originally sup.
posed this Tidal Basin site is
entirely out as far as I am con-
cerned."
handspring Big Item
Cammerer explained to the com.
mittee that the original amount
allowed for the construction of
the Lincoln Memorial did not in
clude the landscaping, roads and
walks and the Rejecting Pool de-
Velopment and sought to impress
upon the committee that such sur
roundingS are usually considered
apart from the structure itself in
the matter of apUropriating.
1t was suggested at today's meet
ing that Representatives Keller
and Treadway confer with Mr..
Pope with a view to ascertaining
what alterations in the present
plans he might have in mind and
learning how much of reduction
in the total cost might be effected
by such alterations.

Only in Washington is she

cause all her business is carried

Shaw. Even the sign leading to
the lily pools on her Kenilworth
farm, carries that name.
The wv. B. Shaw" was her
father, an accountant in the
Treasury Eepar who
started raising lilies as a hobby
more than so years ago.
He purchased a 30-acre farm on
the edge of a marshland because
he liked the country. One day
while strolling over his land he
noticed a tiny pool. Recalling
the beautiful white water lilies
of his native Maine he sent for
some bulbs.

more pools. Soon people were
making special trips to see his
water lilies. Mr.. Shaw tried

SACRED FLOWER
In India, Mrs. Fowler said, the
lotus is considered sacred. It dec.
crates the temples, vying with the
night-blooming water lily, also a
sacred flower.
In India, the lotus, which is red,
is known as "Nelumbium Pekinen-
sis Rubrum Plenum." Translated
it means, Double Red Lotus from
Peking."
Mrs. Fowler loves her work and
enjoys the people she meets in con-
nection with it. She said:
II get the cream of the crop.
EntOmOlOgistS, biologists, scien-
lists, bird lovers and diplomats
from foreign countries, hungry
for the sight of their native
lotus, come here. 1 get lots Of
amusing people, too. Invariably
those with ,he tiniest pools want

lOch lily. Grows in wild pro-
fusion in Ireland"
At the thought of the Glad.

profuSion, Mrs. Fowler drew an
envious breath:
ut is very beautiful, pure
white with a golden center and
petals like shell. But gracious
goodness! In full bloom it is
IL inches in diameter. / have a
hard time talking some folk out
of it, though"
Her biggest thrill, Mrs. Fowler
said, was when she visited the lily
ponds in Kew Gardens, London,
and saw the Helen Fowler hybrid
grown by her father and named
after her, blooming there. She
said:
