Veyed to the hospital. Spencer was
unable to give the AFRO any in
formation as to Miss Crump's mo-
tives.
Hospital authorities told the
AFRO that after the young woman
had been treated she suddenly
changed her mind about wanting to
die and begged physicians to help
save her in time for her to continue
her tour.
Perching nonchalantly on the
side of an emergency cot she ban
tered her doctor, saying, 'Hurry
up, Doc, and patch me up, I've got
to play an engagement tomorrow
night"
you're lucky if you play any
more engagements" she was told.
But nevertheless she was on
hand when her troupe left for
Frederick, Md, to play a dance
engagement on Monday.
Orchestra members advanced
the theory that Miss Crump was
under tremendous nervous strain
as the result of more than a year
of unbroken work in dance halls
and theatres which has carried her
from coast to coast.
Il was just jittery," was her
only explanation.

Clarence H. De Mar, who, at
40, is still the most colorful figure
in foot racing, a graduate Of Har-
ward and now a school teacher
at Keene, N. H., made entry today
in the Evening Star-National A.

be run Saturday afternoon over a

For a time it appeared unlikely
that the ace runner would not be
among those who are to 60 to the
post at 2 p. m. for the 26.mile
385-yard jaunt, but an Arlington
county business man, whose inter-
est in marathon racing was
aroused by the race here in '26,
has invited De Mar to come down
as his guest.
De Mar began his running as q
10 year-old youngster, trotting over
the countryside from 10 to 20 miles
a day to sell soap, thread, needles,
pins and other supplies that his
family might exc out q n1eager
existance.
Today at 40 he stands out as
one Of the truly great marathon
runners. He's won the Boston
Patriots Day race seven times.

Chapman and Rick Terrell named

Fritz Ostermueller. The Red SoX

about him.
Cronin wanted the Griffs to take

Dodge's direction. Also, it was pubh-
cized to the ends of the earth. The
superintendent was both a builder and
a Snowman in the best and most accu-
rate meaning of those words. A certain
Unborn genius was needed for the task
and he was abundantly endowed with it.
The driving force was an enthusiasm
an active patriotism which he taught
thousands to share. Few OF his con-
temporaries were happier or more sue
cessful in their chosen fields of effort.
But the best tribute that it is possible
to pay to Mr.. Dodge at the moment of
his departure is that of citing the pat
tern which he designed. BY example,
he instructed America in the business
of maintaining it's contact with its past.
Instinctively he knew that nation re-
quires a background, civilization wants
a correlated continuity. Such shrines
as Mount Vernon, in his philosophy,
have a practical significance They are
the material elements of history. To
part With them willingly or carelessly
is to betray tradition and to traduce the
heritage OF the peoples soul.
So regarded, Mr.. Dodge was a philan-
thropist. He should be remembered
with gratitude because he enriched pos
terlty. The men and women, the boys
and girls of distant tomorrow are in
his debt for services they should find
delight in approaching.

1t is possible that some part of the
feeling aroused in Berlin by the cardinals
expression was due to misstatement OF
Der Fuehrer's first occupation. He was
in truth, not paper hanger, but house
painter. He decorated the exterior rather
than the interior of buildings. In point
OF fact, he had the artistic impulse. He
asplred to be graphic artist, and while
struggling to attain recognition in that
line he kept his pot boiling by handling
paint In quantities rather than on q
palette scale.

acted in Germany-at least he was before

Humor.
What we call "Humor' is a thing
AS delicate and light
AS color on each vibrant wing
OF butterflies in flight.
The smile is sister to a tear,
The laugh sinks to a sigh,
And sympathy supplants the sneer
AS time goes drifting by.
We've joked about the mother in law,
With patient, generous heart.
We've joked about the man who saw
Wealth vanish in the mart
We've joked about the man who fell
And maybe wrenched his spine.
We've joked about Loves curious spell
Which leaves us to repine.
We've joked about the statesman's cares
Through long, unresting days.
We've joked about the man who dares
To challenge Folly's ways.
AS human knowledge grows more clear,
Less laughter it provokes,
And Wisdom drops a generous tear

Italy and Hungary.

On one of those rare occasions when
Premier Mussolini permits King Victor
Emmanuel to dabble in Italy's affairs,
the Emperor of Ethiopia" accompanied
by Queen Elena, Foreign Minister Count
Clano and an imposing suite of other
officials, has arrived in Budapest on dip
lomatic business of high import. The
royal expedition is obviously part and
parcel of the Fascist scheme, with which
Germany is closely affiliated, to build
an 1talo-German- -Austro- Hungarian bloc
capable of interposing its strength in
Central Europe against the revived
pre-War Anglo o-French- Russian Triple
Entente
The cardinal idea is to separate the
Soviet Union from its western associates.
Should such isolation ensue, Italy would
feel herself in better position to domi-
nate the Danubian area and the con-
tlnental southeast generally, while Ger

involve Czechoslovakia as probable first
objective and Baltic states and Russia
as eventual booty. Italys recent pact
with Yugoslavia, aimed primarily at dis
placing French influence in the Balkans,
now looms as the first link in the chain
which the Fascist powers seek to forge
Tor the purpose of establishing their
supremacy from the North Sea and the
Baltic to the Adriatic and the Mediter-
ranean.
Opposed to this tall aspiration is the
tendency of Austria, Hungary, Czecho-
sloVakla and Rumania to draw together
in neutral union which could with
stand Fascist designs until Great Britain
and France are ready to reassert their
influence in Central Europe. The four
states in question do not relish the pros
pect OF becoming vassals of Rome and
Berlin. They are hopeful that the re-
armament programs of the two western
democracles signify Anglo French deter
mlnation not to let the dictatorships ride
roughshod over the small neighbors OF
Germany and Italy, including, in par
ticular, the destruction of Austria's in
dependence
Whlle these far-reaching Fascist moves
on the Old World chessboard are in
progress, British. French and Russian
diplomacy is not idle. Of eminent i'm
portance is the Blum m-Delbos-Litvinof
communique just issued at Paris, per-
petuatlng the Russo French alliance
British adhesion to that agreement is
understood to be pledged thoroughly, if
only tacitly. The Blum government con-
siders positive accord with Moscow
preferable to Germany's nebulous offer
OF security agreement. It is the French
reply to the unabashed Nazi attempt to
buy freedom of action in Eastern Europe
with a western non-aggression pact ex-
elusive OF the Soviet Union.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

Nature is beginning to rescue many a
poor lawn now, putting 1t into the me-
dunn good or even good class.
The June grass" is coming up.
This Is the salvation of every grass
plot which Is not as thriving as 1t might
be. or can be-
Plenty OF water, and some heat, and
the first thing any one knows the wide
blades Of this variety are up and into
the cir.
They not only all in the bare spots,
but thicken and revivify the old turf,
wherever it has managed to take hold
and thrive. 1t seems that, no matter
how good grass Is, 1t may be better.
A searching OF hearts will reveal two
facts, in the main, about most poor
lawns:
l. They are hungry.
2. They are thirsty.
Very few living things can get along
we'll when both these conditions prevail
Mostly the home gardener fails to un-
derstand the appearance of hungry
plants. He recognizes the signs Of thirst
much better. The other state is far
worse for the plant, however It means
that the plant really is slowly dying
Nature has put marvellous residence
into plant tissue. A plant, like human
body, is mostly water, but the drying
state may go on for long time, without
real harm to the living thing.
Plant tissues have ways of conserving
such water as they have. A little will 60
long way. 1t is nothing less than mar
velous how most plants will live though
the ground around them is baked and
cracked open by heat and drought. In
fact, the belief is growing among horti-
culturists that heat, as SUCH plays far
more important part in plant i'll health
and ultimate destruction than has been
recognized.
When we say plants are dying from
lack of water, what we mean, at least
in some instances, is that they really are
dying from the heat.
The hungry plant can go long time,
very long time, indeed without giving
up the fight.
One great trouble with the hungry
plant, it is believed, is that it lacks
resistance to fight pests OF all kinds,
both insect and fungus.
The plant lacking proper nourishment
Is not healthy, nor can 1t build up,
naturally enough, the same sort of thick
walls and tissues as do plants properly
fed at the beginning and during the
growing season.
This is a matter of physics; the tougher
the walls and tissues, the harder time
the insect pest will have getting a foot
hold.
There is more complex relation,
however, between poor tissues and the
pests Jumped off generally as fungi. Here
we deal with real plant diseases, and it
seems that most plants under modern
artificial cultivation lack resistance, "
just as animal bodies which are poorly
fed, and which. above all, lack vitamins
and mineral elements, succumb TO dis
ease much quicker than those fed with
vital foods.
There can be little doubt that most of
us fail to feed our plants properly.
This applies particularly to the lawn.
Some forms of fertilizer such an
ammonia sulphate, when put on with
the proper dilution, give tremendous
top growth, but it is coming to be seen
that this overstimulation above ground
is gained at the expense of the under
ground system, notably the roots.

g 'Tis Common Proof

1t may be '1ese n1ajeSte" in Germany
to refer to the humble beginnings of Herr
Hitler, officially Der Fuehrer, but it is
certainly not cause of international
complication for an American citizen
to do so. Cardinal Mundelein's men,
ton of him as an Austrian paper
hanger" however, has evoked a repre-
sentation by the German Embassy here
to the Department of State, which, while
it does not take the shape of formal
protest, is nevertheless an indication of
official resentment at Berlin. Care is
taken to make plain that there is no
protest-merely notation Of the fact
that the cardinals expression is dis
pleasing. The State Department can,
OF course, take no official notice of the
incident, other than to indicate that
the matter has been called to its atten-
ton.
Herr Hitler was not, in fact, a paper
hanger, but an exterior decorator.
Whether he was "a poor one at that"
as reports indicate that Cardinal Mum
delein said further, is matter per-
haps of the judgment of those whom
the now head Of the German state once
served in that capacity. If he was poor
artisan, all the more credit to him that
he rose to his present height Of power.
Certainly there is no discredit to him
in his emergence from station in life
where he was untitled to attain the
highest rank in another state.
In this country there Is no feeling
against person who goes upward from
small stature in society to high places.

Lincoln was a rail splitter. Ulysses s.
