Coronation HOnOrs.

King George vi runs true to tradition
by bestowing coronation "honors." His
additions to the peerage and nobility
comprise one Of the largest and most
varied lists Of titles ever distributed at
a single time by British sovereign. It
displays q broad catholicity Of selection.
All classes, creeds and political groups,
with the single exception of communism,
are represented. Democratic as our
British cousins are, they retain an in
veterate reverence for titular rewards
which, since time immemorial, have been
coveted as badges Of merit for service
either to the state or in the arts and
sciences, and, in modern times, for
achievement in the more material realm
Of commerce. Coronation distinctions
descend upon men and women who have
lent fresh luster to the British name
in many contemporary walks Of life.
Several are Of special interest to the
United States. Conspicuous in that
category is Sir Herbert Samuel, former
leader of the Liberal party. who becomes
q viscount. The former occupant Of
various important cabinet portfolios, Sir
Herbert IS best known here through the
fact that he was the first British high
commissioner in Palestine. In that post
he had many contacts with American
Jewry, which holds him in grateful
respect for his administration Of affairs

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

This is the month OF garden shows
everywhere.
And no wonder!
This is the month when gardens are
their prettiest.
This is the month Of ulacs, spireas,
tulips, iris, peonies.
The smallest yard puts on show all
its own during May, as even the least
sensitive person recalls the old rhyme:
April showers
Bring May flowers"
There will be many other wonderful
things blooming in small and large gar
dens later, but no single month shows
quite such a glory, even though the
gladioluses and the bush roses are to
come.
Climbing roses also must be added to
the credit of May.
This is the month, too, which sees
lawns take shape in good fashion.
And that is something the average
householder always is glad to behold.
Nothing pleases him more than good
grass, in all the gardening line; roses
in wonderful tints. single and tWo-toned,
often take a back seat when it comes
to the lawn.
This attitude is accentuated by the
fact that so many ardent amateur gar
deners have poor or medium lawns.
Perhaps their failure is due to one
fact more than to any other:
They fail to fertilize enough.
Enough explains great deal
Many persons sprinkle the new chem
ical fertilizers upon their lawns, but in
almost every case they fail to use
enough.
Poor grass, grass which still shows
bare spots in late May, is grass which
Is starving.
Lack of well-spaced rainfalls shows
up these places as nothing else will.
The surface dirt dries out, turns light
colored, even white, in some instances.
Grass with plenty Of food at the roots
spreads out more rapidly than this. 1t
is able to cover over, whereas starving
plants cannot do So They are fortunate
to be alive. They have all they can do
to remain in the land OF the living.
This Spring has been one Of the best
for hlacs in long time.
Which plain fact rejoices thousands
Of souls who find in the appearance and
scent of these blossoms something
which makes mighty appeal.
The whole bush, in truth, is a won-
derful one. The heart-shaped leaves
Of deep green are almost as beloved as
the flowers. whose pannicles delight
both the senses of sight and smell
Good lilacs, like good grasses, are not
easy to get.
Those who think they are simply have
been fortunate.
Or. let US say, they have fertilized
more.
After one has seen a really fine lilac
bush, round and plump, with plenty
of fine leaves and plenty of finer flowers,
one will never be satisfied with any
thing less.
Yet the lilac, sometimes written lilas,
Is capricious thing.
1t is well known that some years are
good lilac years." others are poor lilac
years"

Who Is the Billionaire?

Stationed as he is in Berlin, Ambassa-
dor Dodd should be able to speak with
some authority on the subject of dicta-
torships and how to avoid them. He
evidently feels that way about 1t him.
self. There must be something stronger
than a passing urge which leads an
American Ambassador in foreign land
to take his pen in hand and address
United States Senators on how to avoid
dictatorship. His plan, by the way, is
very simple: Support the President
"even If we wish to amend some of his
reform measures" The alternative ap-
parently, Is dictatorship by Huey
Long proletariat or by some scheming
Millionaire.
But in the first place, who is the
Millionaire? When Dr. Writ began see
ing Kerensky in the White House he
was summoned to Washington and be-
fore a committee of Senators made to
tell all. Should not DR.. Dodd now be
brought to Washington to reveal the
name Of the Millionaire who is ready to
support "and. Of course, control" an
American dictatorship? Can we afford
to have billionaires running around loose
in this country, poisoning the minds Of
mere millionaires and United States
Senators into opposition to the PreA-
dent in order to put into effect their
nefarious schemes Of dictatorship? To
protect his country the Ambassador
should name the Millionaire. let chips fall
where they may, 80 that justice may be
done.
Senator Borah, who wears the toga
OF a rugged individualist. apparently
finds an inconsistency between DR..
Dodd's support Of the President in the
court-packing plan and his fear of
dictatorship. Not so other Senators, who
are beginning to look longingly about
for strong and handsome peg on which
to hang their support Of the President
in the court plan. To them the Ambas-
sador's letter nils the bill. Packing the
Supreme Court to avoid q dictatorship
has novel sound to it, at least. It may
be the very argument they have sought
In vain.
Now that our Ambassador to Ger
many has advised Senators on avoiding
dictatorship by supporting the Presi-
dent, would 1t not be well to obtain the
views Of Ambassador Phillips in Rome
and Ambassador Davies in Moscow?
There would doubtless be unanimity OF
opinion among these gentlemen on at
least one phase Of dictatorship, and that
is that support OF the dictator is the

q reasonable modification. They ask for
81, ,250, 900 for the fiscal year 1898.
whereas the President recommended
$1,000, 900, 900. The Republicans main
tain that the smaller sum, under their
plan, will give just as much relief to
those who need it as will the larger
sum asked by the President and handled
by the present method. They admit that
their recommendation for an appropria-
ton is mere guesswork-just as is the
recommendation Of the President-for
they have no accurate information to
Judge the relief needs, and the Chief
Executive has turned his back on =
census Of the unemployed
Unfortunately, it does not appear that
the Republican relief plan has chance
unfortunately for those who need relief
and unfortunately for those who must
foot the bill. The New Dealers are
committed to the theory of Federal aid
and Federal control; they are endeavor-
ing to concentrate more and more power,
more and more control in Washington
over the affairs of the people. Unless
they are willing-and they have shown
no signs Of such willingness-to abandon
their attitude that the Federal Govern
ment alone is capable Of handling re-
lief and other problems that confront
the people, it may be expected that the
existing system will be continued.
The Republicans, however, have been
constructive in Offering this relief plan
1t may set the people to thinking. It
will at least offer an alternative for
the present expensive political handling
of relief The Republicans have not been
niggardly in the amount they propose
to appropriate for the needy; they have
not shown themselves to be against re-
lief. They have merely pointed the way
to better relief.

Of the best Of all time in Washington.
Those who recall those giant bushes
along Pennsylvania avenue west OF
l7th street, running over to George
town, will never forget them as they
appeared that year.
Whether it blooms well or not, the
average lilac bush is mighty fine
shrub.
The Spirea van Houttei already is In
bloom, along with the tulips and the
iris.
The garden world awaits now the
glory of the last days of May, the peony,
in its many varieties.
AS the result of observation of the
last four years growth, one is able to
say that evidently these wonderful
plants do better after a cold Winter
with plenty of snow.
Since last Winter was not severe,
and there was little snow, it comes about
that this Spring the peonies do not
seem up to last year.
This probably is true, in the main,
although no doubt by Memorial day
there will be thousands upon thousands
Of finest flowers.
1t must be kept in mind that an
amateurs observations are based on
limited number of plants.
Most often these specimens remain
in the same place year after year.
If they are reasonably close together,
any disease which strikes the roots of
one plant will spread easily to another.
There is another factor, often over
looked: 1t may be that certain To-
cation is not good for peonies, but that
the roots had enough Wgor packed in
them by the grower to withstand the
i'll effects for number of years. Hence
the plant may do we'll for two, three, or
even four seasons. After that 1t may
decline, because the amount of sun is
not to its real liking, or the drainage is
poor.
The easy assumption that most peony
troubles are caused because the roots
need to be divided" will not stand up
in all cases. There are many things
which may happen to individual roots,

mum, or even half maximum.

their humble beauty to that Of the
major plants, but also their leaves are
far greater part of their charm than
many persons believe.
These wildings, as they often are
called, should be used more, because
they are fill-in plants for places which
ordinarily show nothing at all
Many home gardeners would be
amazed at the number of fine things
they can add to their holdings simply
by placing wild flowers here and there

The term wild flower" is not exact.
Many cultivated flowers are wild flowers,

cultivated tract.
A great advantage, seldom mentioned,
Of the wildings is that they bridge the
gap between the herb garden and the

times the grower finds the bridge"
