Why Not?

Only few days ago four juniors at
Princeton University, reading that Hitler
intended to purge the Austrian libraries
OF non-Aryan works, were struck with
an idea and Immediately cabled Der
Fuehrer request that the offending
literature be donated to the university
library as gesture Of good will toward
America.
The youths have not yet received a
reply to their two-dollar- r-and-fifty cent
cable and probably never will. but in
examining their proposition one is
tempted to inquire why not2"

a German man Of letters, like Einstein,
who has failed to concur with the
PHILOSOPHERS Of Naziism and could surely,
with equal benefit to its intellectual life,
absorb into its libraries any Of the CEN
sored books Hitler may see fit to donate.
Although the Fuehrer doubtless is in
no way pleased with the treatment of
his bunds and the pronouncements Of
the Mayor La Guardias in the United
States, such disposition Of the nom
Aryan books as the Princetonians sug-
gest would certainly achieve his purpose
and be preferable to the vandalism OF

A Super.Highway.

The need Of wide, straight, well-built
highway from Washington northward,
through the most thickly settled and
most travelled region Of the United
States, is so real that some day the
project is bound to be realized.
From Washington to Boston there aue
splendid sections Of road One hardly
could ask anything better than the direct
route from Philadelphia to New York
or some Of the ultra a-modern stretches
OF roadway between Hartford and
Boston. But these sections are inter-
spersed with antiquated, narrow, twisting
and dangerous roads which slow down
traffic and are responsible for many
accidents. There are several such be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia. They
were built when not so much was de-
manded for motor transport and the
States have tried to keep them up-to-
date by continuous patching.
House members from i've States. New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Della
ware and Maryland, now are proposing
a new er-highway between WASH
ington and New York, to take advantage
so far as possible of abandoned inter-
urban railway lines which now are
desolate, weed-flled bitches across the
countryside. The plan, inaugurated BY
three Pennsylvania representatives, is
said to have White House approval.
Such highway, they believe, could
be made to pay for itself by small toll
charge and by the establishment of a
great farm resettlement project along
the right of way. They do not want
to rush into the project before it has
been given thorough study. There is,
however. this much to be said even now
for their ideas. The road is something
which the country needs, and will need
more and more. 1t will provide a lot Of
jobs, which the country needs even more
at present but, 1t is sincerely to be hoped.
not in the future.
A great deal has been said about the
uSeieSSneSs OF some made-work projects
and the enormous wastes involved. Here
Is something which seems above both
these criticisms-so much so that it
probably need not cost the country a
cent in the long run. The engineering
problems involved, of course, are some
thing else again. The more thorouehly
the plan is explored from all angles
before any dirt actually is turned on it
the better. A number Of New Deal
enterprises which seemed fool-proof
when first entered upon seem, at the
present writing. most miserably and
tragically to have f1zzled-largely due
to speed and inadequate planning.
1t would be a shame that the same
fate should overtake a Job so badly
needed as this.

No Tampering.

A group Of musicians called at the
White House Thursday to file protest
against the musical massacre" Of "The
Star spangled Banner" Their indigna-
ton over an attempted "streamlining" of
the Nations sacred song was expressed
In q parchment scroll addressed to
President Roosevelt and autographed by
half dozen orchestra leaders, includ-
ing Abe Lyman, Horace Heidi and Ben
Bernie. I'VE object" these signers said,
ito tampering in any shape or form with
the anthem that is universally recognized
and known as being representative Of
the traditions and spirit Of our land"
Such . sentiment, surely, will be ap-
plauded by millions. But the logic Of it.
considering its source, may be ques-
toned. The protestants can be chal-
lenged on their records. What, 1t prop
erly might be demanded, have they done
to protect beautiful music against mod
ernizing"? A weary and disguised ra-
dio audience knows only too well the
sins against traditional harmouies which

Stars Editorial on the New
La Toilette Party Praised

10 the Edltor OF The Star:
A more fair or intelligent appraisal
OF the third party movement could not
be conceived than that Of The Stars
editorial of April 30. Unless the criti-
cisms there stressed are met by marked
changes in method (rather than prin-
ciple) this political "bombshell" is likely
to prove "dud" like its predecessors.
There is. indeed. most deplorable
lack OF clarity as to what is meant by
credit and its ownership" and CON

because OF this confusion of meaning and

tlon for any political meddling with lend
ing and borrowing of money.
But credit" may signify merely that
active money of account which, as bank
deposits, constitutes such a large part
OF the money We are now using and
must continue to use as purchasing

is the regnant factor in price levels

weather." said Mark Twain, and that
applies to gardening as well as to the
world at large.
Most people solve the problem to the
best Of their ability by working up
"fee" as to when plant needs watering.
Those who master this become expert
gardeners; the rest of us Just do the
best we can.
/ Maybe 1t is satisfying that many never
even recognize the problem. They make
the worst gardeners.
In between, there are all those per-
sons who realize something ought to be
done about watering, but they never
seem to know exactly what, and espe-
cially when.
There can be little question that Ma
lures way, in this respect, is a good
soaking, followed by a relatively long
period Of dryness.
Every one knows how easy 1t is to ruin
plants indoors by too much water.
The thing to do Is to water thoroughly,
then let things alone until the plant
begins to look dry.
The really successful raiser of house
plants, as they are called, is the person
who knows a few days ahead Of visible
signs that plants need water.
Outdoors the problem is not so easy,
for there are always such things as light
showers. clouds and general humid
weather to throw one off the right track.
1t Is a surprising thing that many
persons who are interested in plant life
nevertheless permit an eighth of an inch
Of rainfall to fool them.
They honestly think and say that at
has rained," when all the time scarce a
drop has struck beneath shrubs, or trees,
or even in flower borders with good
foliaged plants.
Even when the rain is heavy enough
to strike through, it is amazing how
often 1t will do nothing but wet the sur
face Of the ground.
Dig down even SO littlN as half an
inch, the ground will be found as dry
as a bone.
Such rains are better than nothing,
perhaps, especially for the grass. but
absolutely Of no value to the plants, the
shrubs and especially the trees.
General refreshment value they may
have, but that is not what a plant re-
quireS. They are used to having their
leaf surfaces covered with dust. No
compulsion exists upon the gardener to
spray them at any time It may be
felt, indeed, that such dust as gathers
naturally upon plants is good for them,
that it becomes mulch to cut down
too rapid Transportation.
\ y X
There can be little doubt that most
home gardeners need to do one thing in
particular-that is, to think more of
their plants during the of seasons of
fall and winter
1t has become the custom In recent
years. and not altogether a good one,
for the amateur gardener to shut his
door with the coming of cold weather
and to forget all about his garden.
This procedure is not entirely without
merit, but it sometimes results in death
OF many plants through sheer lack of
water. They do not come up in the
spring, or, If they do, they do not bloom
well.
Careful check should be made, from
time to time, to see how the weather
records give the rainfall, and If these
are below seasonal averages, and espe-
cially If they are not aided by SHOWS, we
should do something. We can do some
thing about the weather if we try.
