BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

"HE beautiful green carpets to
be found in the woods in the
early Spring months, before
L the foliage Of the trees is out,
offer lesson to us of indU TRY, thrift
and singleness Of purpose exercised by
tho many plants to be found on the
door Of woods and forests.
AS you know, the leaves of every
plant gather sunshine and send it
down to the roots. Here it is taken
charge of by the underground ma
chinery, the roots, and after it has
been changed into acceptable food, it
is sent up to the various parts of the
plant. Food is also stored in the
roots for the coming Spring, in order
to send up the sap that will furnish
the leaf buds with nourishment for
growth.
In walking through the woods you
will be delighted with the exquisite
coloring as well as the laciness of the
leaves. AS soon as the green canopy
develops overhead, the dense shade
closes out all hope of sunshine for
the plants beneath.
That IS why you will find the
squirrel corn making the most of her
opportunities in the early Spring days
before the tree leaves appear. She is q
lover Of deep, moist woods. Her cousin,
Dutchmen's breeches, prefers the

own. After the work Of the leaves is
over they die. BY Summer you cannot
md one Of them.
Now we come to the flowers. The
Dutchmen's breeches blossoms are
white, with golden tips, and have no
fragrance. The squirrel corn flowers
are greenish white, with rose tips,
and there Is a faint perfume like
that of hyacinths.
The nectar Of the squirrel corn is
hidden In bags" while that Of the
Dutchmen's breeches is in the "legs. !"
Both flowers swing from their green
cross-bar. upside down.
The seed pods are long, slender
capsules. Those Of the squirrel corn
open lengthwise, revealing a dozen
ebony-hued seeds, shaped like tiny
kernels Of corn.
The roots of the two cousins are
very different, too. The squirrel corn
develops a round, yellow. kernel-like
tuber. These kernels are scatterd
along the roots and each is a plant in
the making for next year, whereas,
the Dutchmen's breeches' root Is a
little bulb. made up of grayish scales.
In the late Summer revisit the COL
ony of squirrel corn and also Of the
Dutchmens breeches. Give these
mothers helping hand. Plant their
children In nearby locations, where
they can spread themselves. Be care
full to choose q place that will offer
fine opportunities to the young plant.
II the pods are plentiful, bring one
Of them back with you for your own
garden or that Of q friend. Remember,
flowers become homesick, languish
and die II you do not plant them in
acceptable spots.

Local governments cannot do
it alone. Their financial cOndi-
ton is too weak, and their re-
sources too restricted, to permit
them to raise any of the neces-
sary subsidies for lOw-rent hOus-
ing. The establishment of local
housing authorities capable of
initiating, constructing and oper-
ating housing projects, even if
the subsidies are provided by the
Federal Government, cannot be
accomplished all at once. Fed
eraI demonstrations of proper
standards and efficient large
scale planning technique, will in
most cases have to be done first.
"The Federal Government can
not provide real leadership or
concrete achievements as long as
its housing agencies are on
temporary, emergency, work
relief basis. There will be very
few efficient local housing au-
thoritieS until there is a perma-
nent Federal housing authority,
equipped with the necessary
powers and funds"

Equality But Theory

In 64 typical American cities the
Department of Commerce found
that one dwelling in every five in
this country of automobiles and
bathtubS and radios, remember
has neither bathtub nor shower.
One in every seven had no indoor
toilet facilities. One-fifth of them
rented for less than SIS month
and were hardly worth that.
Slums! The people who live "on
the other side of the railroad
tracks" The other half The un-
derdogS, but Americans. People
who had been taught that America
is a land of opportunity, that there
is enough for all, and that every
man is as good as any other.
Men who thought themselves
secure against the storms of ad-
versity found themselves in 1929
and the years which followed,
including the dark days of 1888,
bereft of their accumulations,
homes. and of hope. Men who
sought work found there was no
work, for there was no one to
pay them. The wealth which
had been distributed in happier
days to a whole people had been
concentrated by circumstance in
the hands of a few. America,
land of riches, had become a
land of poverty on the farms and
in the cities, as the flow of the
stream was first reversed and
then frozen tight by fear.

Problem For All

"The time has come when the
frequent pledges of the Admins
tratiOn to develop a clear-cut,
permanent national public hOuS-
ing program, designed to i'm
prove workers living conditions,
reemplOy building workers at fair
wages in productive work, and
broaden and stabilize the pOten-
tial market of the building in
duStry, must be fulfilled.
THE housing problem, as we
see it, comes down to one simple
question: How can an adequate
supply of decent new housing be
built for families with annual
incomes of S1,5OO, $1,000, and
less? This group comprises
from half to twO-thirds of the
population today, and even in
1929 the vast majority of skilled
industrial workers earned less.
Bad living conditions will con-
tinue, the residential building
industry will remain a specula-
tive luxury trade and an ex-
treme housing shortage will be
unavOidable-unleSS this queS-

President Roosevelt's purposes

not only fail to provide the
physical benefits of modern civil

smaller cities as well. 1t exists
on tens of thousands of farms,

of the country"

Former Locomotive Engineer Finds Police
Work Far More Thrilling Than
Driving Railroad Engine


Running a locomotive is a thrill
ing job, but that of a policeman is
even more so.
So Marshel Bruce Harbaugh left
the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad to join the Metropolitan
Police Department where he gave
% years of excellent service.
He broke in on the Foggy Bottom
beat, but was unique in that he had
few battles there, for he made
friends with the tough characters
and they soon would rather fight
for him than with him.
One of the important cases he
solved while there was a murder.
He gathered the evidence that led
to the conviction of a woman who
killed her husband.
Mr.. Harbaugh was later trans
ferred to the Harbor Precinct,
where he served 13 years, and in
that time was cited on several
occasions for heroic reScues.
Once he rescued two duck
hunters who had been trapped in
a blind by snow and ice, and an.
other time he rescued the crew of
an airplane that had made a
forced landing in the river.
Although he is now retired, Mr..
Harbaugh makes frequent trips
down to the waterfront where he
worked so many years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harbaugh live at
20 Irving St. N. E., where they
