THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

That sweet smell In the air these days
is Clematis paniculata, bursting into
white foamy blossoms on many a fence
and garage
There are few vines as satisfactory as
this. Belonging to one of the first vine
families, whose other members are not
so well known to American gardeners as
they should be, this particular Clematis
Is favorite everywhere
A really good thing does not take long
to make its way
1t is not so many years now that this
vine was introduced.
IL became favorite, not only because
OF its tidy habit of growth and rarely
sweet fragrance, but also because 1t does
SO well for most people. Life is not long
enough to pine over vines. The average
gardener wants something that is sure
fire, or almost So
This one is certain
Once planted it goes right along, most
commendable habit
So many OF the vines are such rampant
growers. They go all over the side OF a
house, II the owner gives them half .
chance.
When they get quarter of a chance,
loWly morning glory will do it.
++
Not Clematis paniculata.
A neat, tidy vine it is one to put any,
where.
Have you lattice somewhere?
Plant one OF these roots there next
Spring" watch it leap into action.
Not quickly, after the manner of these
quick walking humans, but rather in the
fashion OF the slow but steady fellow
who gets there just the Same"
When blooming time comes then YOU
have something.
Fragrance In the garden is a subject
which has attracted increasing attention
year by year, as the ref1nements of gar
dening work their way down through the
masses.
Enjoyment Of the odor OF Clematis.
however, Is something which requires no
study.
1t is just mighty sweet smell one
which catches the attention of the least
discerning in such things.
X
Hortlculturists are trying now to boost
into popular attention many other of the
Clematis family. (Which is pronounced.
by the way, with the accent on the first
syllable, but if any one prefers it with
the second syllable accented, that is all
right Many Of us always will think of
steam calliope as a cal-iope, not
cal-eye -opee)
Newer varieties of this vine are both
small fiowered, as the paniculata, and
large f1owered, as the Montana.
Most OF the latter are believed difficult
to grow, but those familiar with them
declare this a misconception.
Not many of them probably will ever
equal the paniculata in general popu-
larlty, due not only to that sweet smell
but mainly to its sure fire quality in ar
average situation
1t will grow and do well almost any,
where.

Its peak, of course, is its fragrance,
even finer than its appearance in flower.

Convention of The Hague
Articles on HOstilities

To the Editor Of The Star:
In an editorial in The Star in the issue
OF August Is there is discussion of the
beginning Of hostilities without notice -
1t is Interestingly suggested that notice
may be OF value in enabling a civilian
population and visitors to take precau-
tlonary measures against death or in
jury. But The Star seems to make a
slip when it says:
There is no binding obligation, in
treaties or in other international agree
ments, to require the giving of notice that
war is about to be waged. In any case
belllgerents are free under international
practice to assume the aggressive with
out notice.
Articles I and II of the Convention of
The Hague OF 1907 relative to the open
ing OF hostilities read as follows:
Article 1.-The contracting powers
recognize that hostilities between them
selves must not commence without
previous and explicit warning, in the
form either of reasoned declaration of
war or an ultimatum with conditional
declaration of war.
Article 1.-THE existence of state of
war must be notified to the neutral pow
ers without delay and shall not take ef-
feet IN regard to them until after the re-
ceipt OF notification, which may, how
ever, be given by telegraph. Neutral
powers, nevertheless, cannot rely on the
absence of notification If 1t is clearly
established that they were in fact aware
Of state of war"
In view OF the large number of ma
tions that are parties to this convention,
it is not unreasonable to regard this inter-
national treaty as conventional interna-
tional law. In that view, 1t is viola
ton Of both international law and treaty
stipulations to commence hostilities with
out declaration of war

Protest Against Habit
OF One-Hand Driving
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Apropos OF the number of people killed
IN automobile accidents in and about
Washington since the lst of last Janu-
ary, I wish to call the attention of the
automobile clubs and the Police Depart
ment to the number Of one-hand driv-
ers upon the streets of the city and the
adjacent highways generally.
l daily observe that it has become
quite common practice for MANY
automobile drivers to rest their left ell
bow upon the window ledge of their
cars, with the forearm perpendicular and
the left hand grasping the upper part of
the car. OF course, that means the driver
has but one hand on the steering wheel
and, consequently, not in perfect control
OF the car. 1t is bad habit for any
driver to get into and dangerous habit
Driving in traffic with one hand on the
steering wheel comes very near to reck-
less driving, in my opinion, and reckless
driving is serious infraction of the traf-
nc regulations. 1 have constantly OBJ
served that taxi drivers are quite prone
to this type Of one-hand driving but it
Is not limited to them, by any means. I
nave never seen a woman driver guilty
OF this same carelessness.
IL seems to me that If the automobile
clubs, the newspapers and the Police De-
partment will undertake jointly to pub
llclze this particular sort of careless driV-
ing, then almost undoubtedly there will
be less OF 1t and consequently fewer acci-
dents. Many drivers who make it more
or less practice to drive thus with one
hand on the wheel, while they rest and
cool the other hand and arm outside their
cars, probably do not fully realize what
bad habit it is, nor how dangerous and
unfair it is to other drivers and to
pedestrians.
Something should be done to discourage
one-hand driving, particularly at this
time OF the year when the windows of
the cars are generally open

Traffic Rules Adequate
If Properly Enforced
To the Editor OF The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial of few days ago en-
titled Director of Safety Needed was
very good but does not 60 deep enough
once upon time saw copy of the
District of Columbia Traffic Regulations
and 1t seems to cover present-day require
ments very we'll If it was enforced, but
human life is not now considered.
We find motorists speeding through the
streets at 40 or so miles per hour where
the limit is %. Lights are too bright.
horns too loud and startling, being used
at the wrong time, especially during the
night to call dates" from apartments
and residences, slamming doors and 9TH
erWise disturbing the peace, driving wrong
way on one-Way streets, turning corners
at high speed, radios working and divert
ing drivers attention so that he pays no
heed to poor humanity on the hoof Cars
are parked for long intervals in two
hour parking place. The regulations as
to signals give red. yellow and green hav-
ing the safe and sane meaning, but there
is nothing to indicate how to act when
approaching flashing yellow light. 1t is
confusing and has no meaning, is worse
than no light, just waste of electric
current.
This system is especially hazardous on
Virginia avenue between Seventeenth
and TWenty-second streets northwest.
The bona fide signals are discontinued
about sunset and the silly yellow blink
ing begins. Most drivers take this for
granted that safety, law and order went
down with the sun, and cut loose with
no regard for north and south traffic at
intersections. Green and red are essen
tlal to safety, especially after dark, when
the drunken driver is abroad, until mid
night at least. Strangers in the city are
bewildered as they do not know how to
proceed.
1 do not think the District of Colum-
bia number plates are up to standard
either in color or design The figures are
too small and of a design used by a past
generation long before the horse and
buggy days, now seen only on corner
stones or old libraries. They have a con-
flicting effect. Why not copy the figures
OF Maryland, Massachusetts or New
Hampshire but not the color.

deal Of nuisance to be numbered and
labeled. Yet the relative ease with which
the problem Of Rex was solved suggests
a certain definite advantage in wearing
an identification tag. Even humans
occasionally get lost, and an unde-
termined legion Of them never are To-
Gated. If few wish to be permanently
missing" the majority probably would
prefer to be found. In several foreign
countries citizens are required to carry
cards bearing their photographs, sigma

Something of the same sort might be
worth trying in the United States.

Seeks Early American
Portrait Information
To the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Editor of The Star:
1t is believed that numerous portraits
painted in New England prior to 1926
are in the possession of Washington resi-
dents. The present owners are asked to
communicate with Miss Sylvia Schlafer,
Colonial portrait survey, Room 68, 22l
Columbus avenue, Boston, Mass, in order
that they may be given mention in the
Index to Colonial Portraits" which will
be issued in October
AS the forthcoming work will be the
first real attempt to list these portraits,
the cooperation of the owners of the
canvases is earnestly requested, in order
that the index may be made as complete
as possible. SYLVIA SCHLAFER.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Our Fellow Men,

We ought to love our fellow men
Both near and far away,
Although they fret us now and then
by what they do or say.
Though some may barbarously fight,
And even eat each other,
We ought to try to treat them right
And call them friend and brother
Although their manners are not neat,
Although their morals falter,
Although a few of them would cheat
A poor box or an altar;
The human race we ought to love,
Including folks benighted,
Although our sentiment may prove
Affection unrequited.

The moon was shining at It's height,
Wrapping the earth in silver light.
I sensed the night dew. In its spell
1t seemed to me as if fell
Down, down into a silver we'll.
As from the skies a white moon-ray
Engulfed and soothed me where I lay;
The world of care drifted away, =
And thru the water, cool and deep
The peace Of Heaven seemed to creep s,
In quietude I fell asleep.
