~ CTOBER is the day of the
opening of the Fall exhibition
Of the Potomac Rose Societ,
~ in the National Museum. Last
year David Lumsden. well-known rose
grower, gave some valuable suggestions
as to preparing flowers for the rose
show and perhaps part of this informs :
tion would again prove helpful.
Aphids should be kept off the rose
plants with nicotine or pvrethrum
sprays. These insects locate on the
soft. succulent flower stems and pre-
vent them from proper development.
As the day Of the exhibit approa ches
choice flowers may be protected from
rain by erecting q temporary protec-
ton Of cloth over the plants. Some
roses have difficulty in developing
their true colors in strong sunlight
and the protective cover will help in
this respect also.
Lumsden said choice blooms NAV be
held several days by placing the en-
lsrGed buds in vase held in the
family refrigerator Some times. if
only day or so too mature, develop
ment may be retarded by tying a
piece Of soft yarn around the center
of the partly opened buds Early
morning or evenings are the better
times OF day for cutting exhibit
blooms. because they are then fairly
well filed with water and will be less
likely to partially wilt.
Col. w. H. England president of the
Potomac Rose Society, reports the oc-
currence of a sport or mutation Of
the Rowena Thorn rose in the new
George Washington University rose
garden. sponsored jointly by the uni
versity and the society. The rose was
OF singular beauty, and If possible
will be propagated by the rose So
ciety. Mutations of this kind have
given rise to some of our finest roses.
Chrysanthemums.
OUTDOOR chrysanthemums soon
will be coming into bloom and
there are certain things that can now
be done to assure one of attractive
plants and flowers The tall varieties
should be supported with stakes or
other devices because, once the flow-
ers open, it is often too late. The most
successful support is circular wire
large enough to inclose the several
stems and supported in turn by three
uprights. Spraying with Bordeaux
mixture will help save the bottom
leaves on the plants, and, although it
is = bit late to begin this task. it will
help save the leaves that remain.
Disbudding is the procedure gen.
orally followed in securing large flow
ers, but with most garden varieties.

bloom. If one desires exhibit blooms.
dlsbudding is the means to the end.

repeated disbudding necessary. The

1t is possible to grow chrvsanthe-
NUNS out of doors that almost equal
the beautiful greenhouse blooms. This
means starting in April with single

plant. The soil must be kept titled
through the Summer and abundant
fertilizer used throughout the grow
Ing season. The degree of success
ootainable is really astonishing.
Ageratums.
THERE are apparently true and false
ageratums and among the latter
is the delightful blue-nowered species.
Eupatorium coelestinum, now bloom
ing in many a local garden under the
less imposing name of perennial ager-
atum or mist flower. 1t is of the easi-
est culture and may easily become a
pestiferous weed if permitted to run
wild The plant spreads by under
ground stolons and propagation is
readily accomplished by simply taking
up bit Of soil with roots. It is one
OF those plants that disappears so
completely in Winter that one becomes
suspicious that it has died and care
should be taken to drive down a mark
er to avoid accidental digging.
The flowers are really beautiful and
resemble rather closely the annual
ageratum. They have value for cut
ting and because of their season de-
serve a place in the garden. although
sometimes a gardener will have none
OF the perennial ageratum because of
its spreading habits. 1t is native of
this locality and possesses no appar-

Berried Shrubs.
oNE of the most attractive fea lures
OF the late Fall flower shows of
this region is the berried shrubs and
there would be brilliant displays If
the birds were not so fond of some OF
the species. 1t would seem that more
consideration might be given to these
shrubs and small trees which bear
attractive fruits in late Autumn, for
they are very useful after frosts have
destroyed tender flowers and foliage.

just now beginning to take on that

species, very popular in the old-time |

IN the rose family that bear attrac- |

HOPKINS SEES
SCANT RELIEF
FOR J0BLESS
International News Service

Works Progress Administration
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins,
who has spent more than 5000
million dollars on Federal direct
and work relief in the last four
years, today envisioned a long
period during which "a very large
number of people" will have to be
given aid.
The burden, Hopkins declared,
will have to be carried by taxation.
Private charity can play "only a
very minor part" in his estima-
tion.
Unemployment will continue
and it will be greater "unless we
can control wages and hours" he
asserted. That is a question which
the Supreme Court has ruled that
the Federal Government cannot
do. Hopkins will talk on the Su-
preme Court Monday night over
the radio. He said:
"The big problem is to get the
people to arrive at an under
standing Of what the problem is,
what it is going to cost, and
who is going to meet it. AS far
as giving relief is concerned, it
can only be met by taxation.
Private charity can only play a
minor part. We have the 'ques-
tiOn of the aged, the dependent
children, the unemplOyabIes,
the tenant farmers, share crop
pers. We still have some people
on WPA who should be carried
by social security benefits"
He said unemployment is "pri-
marily a Federal responsibility"
Care Of the aged calls for comb.
nation of Federal, State and local
aid. But those receiving benefits,
he asserted, must not be treated as
charity wards but must be given a
position of dignity"
Hopkins said that as yet no esti.
mate could be given of the needs
for next year, or the next.

 If you're still not satisfied, all the girls in the Sox front offices also are wearers of the green and to top it off, Boston is as Irish a city as any in the country so maybe the Red Sox ought to be rechristened the "Shamrocks".
 But, just in case the league of nations gets sore, let 1t be recorded that there are Il other nationali- ties represented on the club .. English, German, Sweden, Italian, French, Spanish, Polish, Jewish, Scotch, American Indian and Dutch
 Wonder why the movies don't go after Karl Schaefer, the figure skat- ing king? The guy is on the handsome side and should screen well |. but somebody ought to tell him to wear a smile when he goes through his glacial gyra- tions personality still counts a lot.
 with four representatives on the U. s. Ryder Cup team, New Eng land has something to be cocky about .. Two of the boys are adopted New Englanders-Ton Manero, who makes his debut as pro at the Salem (Mass.) Country club today, and Denny Shute, pro at Brae Burn, also in Massachu- sets M.

 The Stanley cup games = World series of hockey = are played on a three-out-of- five basis. If tho Rangers score . second victory to- night,fi they would need only another triumph to win the tro- phy from the Red Wings, 1886 world champions.
 If trainers for the Detroit Club decide to keep Goalie Smith out or action tonight, the net guardian probably will be Earl Robertson, recruited by Manager Jack Adams from the Pittsburgh Hornets, De- troit Farm Club.
 The Rangers were favored to re- peat their brilliant opening vic- tory. Manager Les Patrick's team has won five straight contests, driving the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Maroons into sub- mission in four elimination games and taking the Stanley cup opener.

BY JOHNNY KELLEY (VNv.a%kAvp Nmv. TTwakAN ppAral


 Boston, April 8.--(UP)-A lot of people are picking me to repeat my 1895 victory in the B. A. A. mara thon this year. But as one who will do the actual running in this race, I frankly don't know what the re- suit will be.
 There are good many uncertain ties. It's a long race and a lot of things can happen, Many things have to be taken into considera- ton. will the day be warm or cold? Will we be running with or against a wind? Those are just a couple of things that enter into it.
 All can say is that I am in great shape. I feel as good now as I ever did. And that takes in my best year-1935. That was the year I won my first B. A. A. run and set new records in winning the 20- mile North Medford r,rn, the To- mile Nova Scotia run and the Yonk- CTS, N. Y, marathon.
 Since January 12, have been running three times weekly under my able trainer, Angus Macdonald, preparing for the B. A. A. run. While in training, I run for the pleasure of it. don't cover any set mileage, but work hardest on Saturdays.
 I haven't been working since February l. That gives me more time to train, suppose. But I'd rather have a job.
 My only competitive running so far this year was in the 20-mile North Medford race. In winning 1t for the fourth consecutive year, I clipped more than 21a miles from my 1885 record of 1:55:27.
 This will be my seventh B. A. A. marathon. I failed to finish in 1928 and 1892. In 1883, I was 37th and the following year, second. Af- ter winning in 1885, I dropped back to fifth last year. The thought that last years race was an Olympic tryout didn't help my mental poise any. But this year I can forget that.
 Competition will be strong. When you're figuring the leaders, you've got to include runners like Les Pawson, 1883 winner and record holder; Walter Young of Canada; Mel Porter, Pat Dengis, Tarzan Brown, last years winner; and the old master, Clarence DeMar, who, I think. will finish among the first l0.j Then there are bound to be one or two unknowns. There always are.
 As for myself, I'll run as best l know how. And I'll have a prayer on my lips.
