Flying Boat Tragedy.

Washington has particular interest
in the loss of the Pan American Grace
Airways flying boat near Cristobal,
Canal Zone. Among the passengers who
have disappeared are Rex Martin and
G. @. Caldwell Of the Bureau of Air
Commerce men well and favorably
known in the Capital.
The plane was en- route from Quay
aquil, Ecuador, to the United States via
Cali, Colombia. Storms had delayed its
progress. The last radio message from
the pilot contained reference to heavy
rain. 1t, therefore, is evident that hos
tile weather conditions must be con-
sidered in any effort to determine the
cause of the wreck.
But there is nothing new in the oppo-
sition Of the elements Nature Is tenn

peramental, especially in the Caribbean
area. The operators OF the air lines In
that portion of the globe necessarily are
obliged to practice philosophy of eau
ton. Perhaps the present tragedy might
have been avoided by halting the plane S
departure Monday.
Also, 1t may be wondered if night
flying in South and Central American
latitudes is rational experiment in
the current stage of air traffic develop
ment. Possibly it would be wiser to limit
schedules to the daylight hours.
But the public ought not to be dis
turbed by the loss OF one ship. Travel
by plane is relatively safer than travel
by automobile. Thirteen precious lives
destroyed in an airship wreck are COM
paratively little to grieve about when it
Is remembered, as it should be, that
many times that number commonly are
taken over single week end in motor
smaSh-ups.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES f. TRACEWELL.

One Of the most curious forms Of gar
den life Is the red aphis cousin to the
brown and black plant lice
The red form of this tiny insect ap-
pears in greatest numbers on an old
favorite of amateur gardeners.
The Golden Glow, sure-fire flower for
average gardens, with its spraWly habit
and fine heads of yellow flowers, most
always suffers from this interesting pest
If an arm is brushed against branch,
1t will appear as if covered with blood.
This blood is simply the red aphid
or aphis, in great numbers.
Spraying with dilute nicotine solution,
preferably in soap suds, is the remedy
II the gardener desires a remedy.
The Golden Glow is so tough that
nothing at all need be done about the
lice as they are called popularly. This
Is one plant that seems to thrive on them
Some of the smaller birds like these
plant lice, and may be seen feeding upon
them, but it is questionable how much
of control they are for them.
Those forms which get on the roots Of
plants, such as the China aster, as it
was called once, seem to do the most
damage
Tough membraned shrubs, such as
various climbing roses Cyes, rose is a
shrub, can be covered with plant lice
and yet not seem to suffer much
The insects have limited life They
tend to die out in time without any
great harm coming to plant.
Nothing can be said against proper
spraying for this pest, but at times it is
Srn y
Rest assured that the chances are that
afflicted plants will not suffer much.
Nature fortunately has way Of taking
care of such things.
Many insect attacks are nothing more
than natural pruning. Even when
entire plants are killed, there may be
more specimens than are needed
There can be little doubt that the
cicadas last year destroyed some trees
Owners naturally were very much upset.
Viewed year later, the loss seems very
little.
1t is easier gardening, and most often
much pleasanter if the worker refuses
to worry about his garden.
Garden worry is a department of mod
erh life all in itself.
A family buys home and garden, and
starts out Valiantly. Before long the
black spot" on the roses assumes tragic
role in their own lives as well as in the
life cycle of the plant
Those family members who do not
actually work in the garden often tend
to find fault with those who do so that
what ought to be pure joy for all turns
out just another phase of American
pickering
There are certain established rites
in the garden which no doubt ought to
be observed, but, if they are not, the
chances are very large that Nature will
take care of matters.
This is good thing to keep in mind.
If the garden is built up of the fine

status as a citizen who respects the
rights of others, so he decides to change
his route a bit With the next signal
for the movement of north and south
bound traffic he starts across the Avenue
toward the old Post Office Department
Building. When he reaches the car
track on the far side he finds himself
in a precarious plight. Cutting behind
him and in front of him, drivers making
left turns at high speed yell at him to
get out of the way. He is in a safety
zone, but it seems that this one is safe
only when drivers do nst find it con-
venient to trespass upon it.
The signal changes, but the involun-
tary release OF sigh of relief is prompt
ly choked off by the onrush of east
bound traffic. From his position in the
street no signals are visible. A new
horror! No guide except the movement
OF traffc! BY narrow margin he
escapes the next rush OF left-hand turn
ing traffic and reaches the marked
crossing as the signals free the north
and south bound lanes.
Good luck attends his progress across
twelfth street to the halfway point,
where he encounters a steady stream
OF traffic turning right, plus a couple of
buses and other vehicles turning left
from the west-bound lane Eventually
he reaches the southwest curb and
undertakes to get back to the north side
OF the street. Delays and difficulties
again beset him, but he gets across
mopS his brow and hurries to the place
OF appointment. A neat placard at
tached to the door bears the word:
Closed He looks at his watch. He
has failed by several minutes to keep
an important engagement.

old standard things, and Nature is al
lowed to manage them, an amazingly
good garden may be had without much
how W-dee-do on the part of humanity
These persons who, in recent years, have
written books to tell perspiring gar
deners how to do all the essential work
in a week end" or even less, no doubt
have been fooGng us; all they mean is
that Nature will do the work if we will let
her co it,
The old rhyme, Let them alone, and
they'll come home wagging their tails
behind them" applies to the flowers Of
the garden, too.
For home" let us substitute "bloom, -
and for tails" the fine word flowers. J"
The necessary thing is that we not
worry the plants with too much atten-
tion or so prune, fertilize and cultivate
that they get soft.
There is such a thing as softness,
among plants, and it is caused by too
much work on the part of some gardener
who has read too many books.
Garden books are fine, in most in
stances, but too great. dose of them,
in any one season, may set up serious
disease in the mind of the gardener He
comes to believe, alas, that his plants
can't get along without him and his
newly found knowledge!
The worst old weed in the corner lot
has been growing along for thousands
OF years without any human help.
1t is trampled down. burnt over, fer
tilted by Nature, and watered by her
rains, SO that it comes up year after
year at the old stand, without benefit
Of gentleman or lady gardener.
II seed of it blows across the COM
munity, and lands in a cultivated corner,
it grows up just the same. Sometimes
the owner has enough sense to let it
alone, and pretty soon he is the pos
SCISSOR of something fine.
Most of our cultivated plants are just
such ''esca pes" as these. While the pres
ent strains are products of high cultiva-
ton. they must have in their blood the
desire to go a-gypsying.
They can get along very we'll without
us if We give them the opportunity
Let us say again that nothing ought to
be said against proper care. including
spraying, mulching and the like. These
are good, but when they are overdone
as they sometimes are, they are not so
good and the plants will suffer.
They will suffer too tidy appearance,
If not in any other way. The immacu-
lately pruned and scrubbed garden is
not exactly the slice Of Nature which
it ought to be. 1t has acquired new
face. as it were, and scarce would know
itself in Natures mirror.
The best way to garden the small place
IS for the fun Of it, and this applies to
the plants as well as to the owners
thereof. No one can tell us that plants
would not rather be let alone and per-
mitted TO grow as they want than to be
perpetually paved over and brushed to
an inch of their lives. The latter may
be art, but it isn't Nature. and if a
garden isn't Nature, what is it?

Vacancy or No Vacancy?

Senator BOrah's contention, voiced in
the Senate yesterday, that no vacancy
exists on the bench of the Supreme
Though delivered with earnestness, as
always, and seemingly a legalistic argu-
ment addressed to the question whether
the retirement of Justice Van Devanter
constituted a resignation" within the
meaning of the constitutional provision
it might very well have been intended
as satirical response to the opinion
lately rendered by the Attorney General
to the effect that the President has the
right, under the Constitution, to make
q recess appointment. Senator Borah
has keen sense of the ridiculous and
it is quite possible that he was employ
ing the 'reductio ad absurdum" device
of rejoinder. Or perhaps he was aiming
at demonstration of the present vague
ness Of the statutes regarding retire
ment, with the thought Of securing
clearer definition of the status of re-
tired jurists.
At any rate, it was at the least an
interesting coincidence that at about
the same time of the Idaho Senator's
{ Caliverance the President was telling the
newspaper correspondents at the White
House that they would have no notice
of the court appointment until the name
of the appointee was actually before the
Senate for confirmation and Laughing
ly" evading the direct query whether it
was a fair inference that the appoint
ment would be withheld until the next
session of Congress.
There was, however, a somewhat seri-
Gus note in the discussion in the Senate
promoted by Senator Borah's conten-
ton that no vacancy exists in the Su-
preme Court, and that retirement under
the law as it stands does not constitute
q complete separation from actual mem
bership of the court. This statement by
Senator Borah elected acquiescence
from others. There is evidently at least
q question in their minds on this point
If, as Senator Borah held yesterday,
Justice Van Devanter may, despite his
retirement, report for duty at the open
ing of the courts session in the Autumn
and may sit in judgment upon the
statutes and the practices of the lower
courts, then, indeed, there is need of
clarifying legislation on the subject.
But all that is apart from the question
OF whether recess appointment might
be made TO fill the present vacancy, if
one really eXists-Which. despite Senator
Borah's argument, seems to be the case
and that the appointee SO named
might take his seat on the bench with
out confirmation by the Senate, in ac-
cordance with the remarkable opinion
rendered by the Attorney General. Nor
is it pertinent to the question of the
wherefore of the Attorney Generals

A Careful Pedestrian.

careful pedestrian, travelling west
ward on Pennsylvania avenue, arrives
at the corner of Twelfth street with that
comfortable sense of satisfaction that
accompanies the knowledge of being
fifteen minutes or so ahead of an ap-
pointment at location in the next
block. He is on the north side of the
Avenue for two reasons. His own place
of employment, from which he started
and the building in which he is to keep
his appointment are both on the north
side.
At Twelfth street the traffic light is
against him. Being a careful pedestrian
he waits on the curb until the signal
changes. North and south bound traffic
halts while the allotted interval for east
and west bound traffic prevails. He steps
promptly and confidently from the curb
to join the group of less considerate
though more courageous pedestrians who
have crowded out into the traffic lane
and increased their chance of making
the crossing. He is lmmedlately startled
by the violent honking of an automobile
horn at close range and is forced to
step back on the curb and wait until a
long line of buses, taxicabs and private
automobiles negotiate right-hand turn,
The light changes again and he is left
standing in almost the same spot from
which he ventured when he mistakenly
believed that he had the right of way
Patiently he awaits the next turn for
pedestrians, only to repeat his previous
experience. Several changes of the sig
mails take place before he realizes that
he must either join the ranks of
tho. impatient pedestrians or choose
another course. He wants TO keep his
