half the laws and then adjourn for 10

Unlike the power Of the President to
veto a bill after passage, the job would
carry full power to kill proposed legis-
lation. Believe me, would exercise it.
I would not apply the Supreme Courts
method, to save legislation that by pos
sible Interpretation, might be constitu-

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

Bagworms are In the evergreens now.
1t Is good thing to keep a watchful eye
for them, because the eggs are laid In
those silken cases.
These are among the most interesting
constructions to be found in the garden.
Most gardeners, however, prefer not to
see them! They will forgo this lesson in
natural history, rather than meet up with
bagWorms.
II all gardeners in neighborhood will
use ruthless tactics toward these NUS
ances, in few years they can be COM
pletely eradicated
One bag left-and the entire neighbor-
hood Is infected again
So complete destruction Of the clever
cases Is In order at this time.
There is no remedy except hand-pick-
ing of the cases from the evergreens
This insect likes arbor vitae and jumpers
best, but at times will take to some trees
and 1t is best to watch for them else
where as well.
After the bags are picked from the
boughs, they should be burned at once
Burning them from the limbs, as some-
times advocated, is dangerous practice,
also to the safety of the gardener.
Mostly the bags can be hand picked
easily enough, but, If they are too high,
recourse should be made to a ladder.
The bagWorm is one of the lepidop-
ferrous insects. The bag is constructed
when the creature is in the larval state.
Sometimes bits of leaves and fine stems
are woven in.
Tho 1o,,
pupa stage The females-these are
Wlngless-lay the eggs there. The new
cycle is ready to begin.
Most gardeners prefer to regard these
changes, and the bag around which it
centers, as merely disgusting. No doubt
that attitude is one reason why some
people let them alone, or try to use fame,
to keep from touching the silken struc-
lures.
No harm comes from handling them.
Often they are around at the back side
OF an evergreen, in position difficult to
reach.
1t is not an insect to let alone, how
ever, and very diligent search should be
made OF the home grounds to eradicate
them.
Fortunately. even the most tender
hearted gardener has few scruples about
killing insects. The bags, once removed,
should be burned at once. This is the
best way to deal with them.
Sprays and other treatments do little
good, owing TO the clever construction of
the case, or bag, which is highly water
resistant.
The only safe way is to hand pick
them and burn them. This way millions
Of future bagworms are nipped in the
bud, and pretty soon an entire neighbor-
hood is free from them.
1t Is good practice in amateur garden
ing to be suspicious, on principle, of all
strange and unknown worms. insects,
bugs" creeping and crawling things in
general.
Almost every one knows that the lady
bug, so-called is helpful to a garden, and
should be let alone.
There may be few others which help,
and some that do no harm, but on gen.
eral principles these will have to 20,

Helpful Outline.

Representative Kennedys plan for
reorganization Of the municipal govern
ment should be accepted in the spirit
with which it has been offered. There is,
OF course, no remote chance that such
an important undertaking as the legis-
latlve enactment of his scheme can be
completed before the end of this session.
1t would be unWiSe even to attempt it.
Mr.. Kennedy has offered in outline the
basic principles on which he would be
willing to sponsor reorganization legis-
lation and before the next session of
Congress local citizens will have the
time and opportunity to give the plan
careful consideration.
1t is probably true that nothing short
of giving to the citizens of Washington
full participation in their government
will remedy the chief defects of our
local governmental system For these
defects all spring from the same root.
No sound governmental system is pos
sible that fails to give those who are
governed voice in their government.
And Mr.. Kennedys plan falls short of
giving to Washington and It's citizens
any real system of representation. An
advisory counsel might prove helpful
But Congress retains the power utterly
to ignore such advice. The fact that
such advice might be given formally, in
stead Of Informally as at present, would
not go far toward changing conditions
as they are today.
Elements of the plan, however, might
improve the efficiency of the local gov
ernment and prove of real benefit to
Congress. The time has certainly come
when searching examination should be
made of the personnel needs at the Dis
trict Building, to find whether there is
waste in jobs For maintenance and
operation expenses of the local govern
ment have become enormous eating up
large percentage of the taxpayers
dollar. The proposal for modifying the
powers of the Bureau of the Budget
over the local government, powers which
were never intended in the first place
and which have been enlarged in
manner that contradicts good sense as
we'll as good government, will meet with
universal approval Divesting the
Budget Bureau of some Of its extraor-
dinary policy making powers has been
urged for many years by many compe-
tent authorities.
powers to "legislate" in the matter Of
municipal regulation is also desirable
and it would be helpful If Congress
would experiment in further delegation
of its legislative powers. The word "ex-
pertinent is used advisedly, for any
delegation of authority to the Commits
sioners would face test in the courts
to determine the limits, under the Con-
stitution, to which Congress may go in
sharing its exclusive powers. These limits
are at present somewhat hazy and not
clearly defined.
Mr.. Kennedy has shown himself to be
sympathetically inclined toward the
problems faced by the people of the
District and he has occupied, on the
House District Committee, strategic
position from which to study these prob
lens. The Kennedy proposals, together
with the plans being studied by the Com
missioners' committee. should prove
helpful next Winter as the basis for
experimental legislation.

1t Is pretty safe procedure, that Of
destroying all insects on sight.
1t is simply playing safe, especially in
a garden which Is partly shady. In this
type, so prevalent in the suburbs where
there are many trees, the problem OF
having a good garden is rather COM
plicated.
Sunshine. the great antiseptic. helps
curb insects. Ordinarily they do not like
1t and tend to 60 elsewhere.
In the shady garden, especially in a
muggy Summer, when mildew forms
easily, there will be great increase in
insect pests, as well as in various rusts
and plant mildews
There is little gainsaying that garden
ing in any form is more dif1lcult than it
was 20 years ago.
Millions Of pounds OF poisonous insec-
ticides are used by vegetable gardeners.
There is some agitation to the effect that
this vast use OF poisonous sprays may
help cause diseases in man, as well as
be danger to birds.
1t is certainly true that modern home
gardening is beset by 10 insect pests
where only one was found 20 or Is years
ago.
1t is a good plan to be on the watch
for them Don't become so interested
in your roses that you fail to see the on
coming black spot"
Take look at the portions of plants
not so easily seen, and maybe you will be
able to find some unwanted creature hid
ing there.
Try to get the good mental perspective
which is able to see something interesting
in something unpleasant.
Even the worst garden pests are inter-
esting, rightly viewed. Some of them are
marvels of adaptation and efficiency

he will be more intent on the search for
the pests, will he not? II one Is inter-
ested in thing, from two angles, he will
have just twice as many approaches and
be able to see more, and recognize more
This is especially helpful in finding
garden pests. Many Of them are cleverly
concealed, actually camounagsd so that
the person in hurry passes them over.
1t is a good thing now and then, to
set aside several hours just to search
for blights, flaws, pests.
Include plants which do not seem to be
doing well, and look them over carefully.
Search for signs Of borers, and for insects
which dig tunnels in the ground at the
base of plants.
The gardener may not know exactly
what the pest is, or what damage it does,
but he can be sure that it is doing his
plant no good.
Give the eyes a chance to rove. to
roam. to spot unusual things, insect or
otherwise.
Then that living tumble OF worms.
slithering along in the grass, instead of
being something unnoticed, and forgot
ten, will be seen at once as unusual,
something interesting, but something to
be destroyed on general garden princi-

Many of the insects are creatures Of
rare beauty. Even caterpillars, which
make many persons "jumpy," are gayly
colored. in some instances. and quite
marvellous. in their way. The gardener
may not like their way, but 1t is their
way, after all, and he had better respect
It, and find out all he can about them,

Rainbow Over Gettysburg.

Not many persons saw 1t, but yester-
day, toward the close Of the afternoon,
an especially glorious rainbow appeared
over the national park which has re-
placed the battlefield of Gettysburg.
There had been several showers, the
usual Sunday crowds had been fright
ened away by the threat of still another
downpour. Only few struggling visitors
wandered through the lanes and among
the monuments which commemorate the
fratricidal struggle OF seventy-four years
ago. A sinking sun painted the whole
picture with gold, and spectators
watched it at its work with appreciation.
But the miracle was unannounced.
Indeed, 1t seemed entirely by accident
that the eastern sky slowly became
canvas for the solar artist. A crystal
curtain descended from scattered clouds
high overhead. Thus the imperative
material for the ultimate marvel was
provided. Minute by minute the rainbow
grew from the horizon line to north
and south until the arch was perfectly
complete, burning band of blended
colors bright as flames.
Small wonder, an observer thought,
the ancient Hebrews found such a phe-
nomenon symbolic of the mercy of God.
Nothing else in human experience could
be more profoundly inspiring. A law
of mathematics, Of course, may be ac-
cepted in explanation of it. Skilled
physicists, certainly, are competent to
duplicate it In their laboratories. The
principle involved is simple enough for
