Things Worth Preserving

II, under the threat of war, the
government of Poland eventually
should decide to concede Danzig and
the Corridor to Germany, the world
at large might wonder why. But
the leaders of the Warsaw gov
eminent, knowing the havoc which
would result from hostilities, almost
certainly would prefer partial sur
render to complete disaster. They
have realized from the start that,
lacking effective immediate assist
ance from their allies, they could
not prevent the devastation of their
country. 1t Is a natural instinct
which prompts them to wish to pre-
serve the rich and beautiful land
which they regard as incontroverti-
bly, theirs.
Danzig admittedly is a German
city, but that cannot be said for the
Polish capital nor for Cracow. The
former is one of the most interesting
towns in Europe. Its ancient walls,
the brick Church of the Holy Virgin,
the Cathedral of st. John, the Church
of the Visiting Sisters, the Royal Pal
ace, which now is the residence Of
President Moscicki; the Bruhl and
Lazienki Palaces, the Belvedere, in
which Marshal Pilsudski lived and
died; the Knights Hall and the Old
Market Square, the Opera House and
the new National Museum are i'm
pressive monuments of architecture,
most If not all of them filled with
artistic treasures of vast intrinsic
value as we'll as high historical sig
nificance. Yet it would be mistake
to think Of Warsaw as being old.
Rather, it is a young community,
much Of it reconstructed since 1920.
And similar observation may be
registered for Cracow. 1t, too, has
been rebuilt in part. But its Gothic
Church of ST. Mary, with magnifi-
cent altar and reredos carved by Wit
Stwosz in the fifteenth century; the
Wawel Cathedral, with the tombs of
Cassimir the Great and Kosciuszko;
the Wawel Castle, famous for its
Ambassadors Hail. its Hans Durer
decorations and its Journal tapes
tries; the University and the Jagel-
lonian Library, st. Peters Church
and the Czartoryski Museum, the
Town Hall and the Clothiers' Hall
remain unspoiled. To keep them un-
damaged, Poland conceivably would
be willing to make substantial con-
ceSSions to Germany.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. Trnce1oell.

This Is one Of the drawbacks to this
type Of hedge, 1t must he admitted.
Usually, in writing Of some particular
hobby, little is said of possible drawbacks.
You will seldom pick up an article on
tropical fishes, for instance, in which a
word is said about the unremitting care
which few tanks require. Such frank
ness might scare away some possible re-
cruits. So the thing is to let them find
out for themselves that where there is
life there is very likely to be trouble.
1t Is so with plants.
Each plant has SO many good points
that in listing them one is rather
deferred from setting down their bad
ones, for fear of driving some possible
recruit away.
People will find out the bad soon
enough, what is the good of drawing at
tention to it? At least that seems to
be the idea of many. Life is so full Of a
number Of things, indeed, that we should
all be as happy as-shall we use the old
word kings" just because 1t rhymes?
Set out an althea hedge about March
IS, if possible, the sooner the better
Put the plants about 10 inches apart
and wait for the leaf growth.
After the leaves are out nicely, which
is rather late, sometime in late May, or
early June, get out the pruning shears
Much will depend upon the leaf
growth, of course, but most of the
younger plants leaf we'll down on the
main stalk.
The aim is to get them to leaf lower
than ever.
Trim away all branches and leaves
over one foot, provided there are plenty
of leaves and stalks left below this line
If there are not, of course, you cannot
trim as low.
This severe pruning must be kept up
Every time the plant gets as much as
a foot of new growth cut it off again
This forces it to leaf out lower. Plants
have intelligence, and when they realize
that they are not going higher they
get their leafy growth out sideways, and
downward.
There seem to be certain individual
althea plants which leaf out lower but
there is no way of being sure as far as
we know.
Those planted in full sunshine are
more likely to leaf out low than those
in shade or semi-shade.
Plants having maroon double blossom.
are to be preferred for hedge work, but
this does not mean that the old favorite
the single Powered althea, cannot be
used; to the contrary, this makes mos
desirable hedge, and is cheaper.
Getting a good althea hedge is 6
matter of two or three years, with con.
slant pruning, when the planter wants tx
let grow. Well, there is nothing else t.

eNEW HAMPSHIRE AVE.


II always read your column with
the greatest pleasure as 1t deals with
facts pertaining to nature, the most in
teresting thing to me.
Recently you wrote about using the
Rose of Sharon plant for a hedge. I
had exactly the same idea myself, but
did not know If it were possible.
II certainly think that blooms mixed
with the green is far prettier than Just
leaves. The only thing is am afraid
in the years following the planting that
in spite Of the necessary pruning the
trunk will grow too much and that the
bottom part of the hedge will be very
unsightly with only kind of stick show
ing their gray color without any leaves
on them. Or is there a special kind of
althea for the hedge?
Il have seen some planted by them
selves which are almost regular trees, al
though not very high, and some against
fence with green leaves starting very
low, which would be exactly the right
kind.
ALSO, when is the best time to plant
hedge of that kind and the distance
between each plant for low hedge?
"As you can see, know very little
about plants, but am hoping to have
small garden of my own soon, so I
am very much interested in hedges, in
order to have something different.
Thanking you, am very truly yours,
&C. c."
Very few people really know every
thing about plants.
There probably aren't dozen men in
the United States who can say honestly,
Il know all about plants"
But many persons do know something
about them, and this knowledge Is best
when 1t Is based on actual experience.
No home gardener need feel at all dis
mayed by lack of knowledge, because
that is the happiness of gardening, to
be able to learn little for ones self,
helped by others, but differing from
them, when necessity demands it.
There is, in garden writing, a great
fund OF tradition, some of it rather on
the bunkum side. An alleged fact is put
into print, then it is printed and re-
printed year after year.
So good advice to beginning gardener
might be:
Read all the books, and listen to all
your friends, then use your own eyes, and
trust your own observations.
\
Proper pruning is the answer to our
correspondents desire for leafy low
althea hedge.
Even then it is difficult to be quite sure
| OF what one is going to get.

Canal Defenses

With war clouds again hanging
heavily over an apprehensive world,
the War Department is speeding up
the task Of undermining and expand
ing the defenses of the Panama
Canal, characterized as the military
life line" of the United States.
Troop transfers scheduled for Sep
TENDER will advance plans for in
creasing the permanent garrison of
the Canal Zone nearly four months
ahead of schedule. Similar efforts
are being made to speed up construc-
ton of the new Brujo Point Air Base
and system Of duplicate canal locks.
The War Department now has
available a total of $67,769,000 for
construction activities and expansion
of the garrison in the Canal Zone,
with an additional authorization for
work on the canal locks which brings
the total to approximately So, 900 900
during the next two years.
The amount is large, but in view
of the Importance Of the canal to our
national security in case of a world
explosion, it is regarded as cheap
insurance. The amount, large though
it may seem, actually is far below the
total which some defense experts re-
gard as necessary. Senator Clark,
Democrat, OF Idaho, following a trip
to the Canal Zone, has expressed
alarm over what he terms an "amaz-
ing lack" of modern military equip
ment there. He mentioned spe-
officially anti-aircraft range finders
made during the World War and
coast defense guns dating back to
the pre-war period.
If, as military authorities insist,
the Panama Canal is the key to our
strategic plans, based as they are on
single United States fleet which
must cover two oceans, then it is
obvious that no pains or expense
should be spared in guaranteeing
the security Of the waterway. Efforts
Of the War Department to speed up
this vital phase of the national de-
tense program merit only praise from
the American people.

There once lived a man named Mr..
Communist. He lived in nice country
called America but he did not like Amer
ica-he did not like the system" He
liked far-off land called Russia, where
they had the real Mccoy, guy named
Stain, who had a marble-nne subway
in which the trains ran on gold tracks
and everybody rode free. In Stalin-land
there was no poverty, no strife, no
clamor-swen place to live!
While he did not like America very
much, he disliked Germany even more,
especially certain German named
Adolf Hitler. He denounced Mr. Hitler
openly, boycotted him and threatened
him.
Then one day something very peculiar
happened. This Adolf Hitler turned
out to be twin brother to Stain, the
subway owner. The shock of the news

Asks for Quezon's
Real Opinion.


To the Editor of The Star:
The remarks Of President Manuel L.
Quezon concerning the appointment Of
Assistant Secretary of State Francis B.
Sayre as High Commissioner of the
Philippines to succeed Paul v. McNutt
amuses me. President Quezon says that
Mr.. Sayre's appointment pleases him be-
cause Mr.. Sayre is sympathetic with the
policies of the United States to grant
Philippine independence under the most
favorable terms possible.
When Mr.. McNutt, the champion of
Philippine retention by the United
States, left the islands barely two
months ago he also received the usual
Quezon accolade. Mr.. Quezon said that
Mr.. McNutt, who opposes Philippine in
dependence, was the best American high
official the Filipinos have ever had.
The American public would like to
know the exact attitude of President
Quezon toward Filipino freedom. His
praising of two American high officials
whose views on independence are the
antithesis of each other, is rather con-
fuSing. Or has Mr.. Quezon Just been
dishing out verbiage?

Soviet DELAYS

Delay in Soviet ratification OF the
non-aggression pact with Germany
is indicative of the eagerness Of
Soviet leaders to capitalize on COM
ing developments in Europe for their
own prestige.
There is no reason to believe that
Soviet Russia at this early date Is
ready to repudiate its pledge not to
go to war against Germany, either
alone or in combination with other
powers, but there is plenty Of reason
to believe that Josef Stain and
Premier Molotof are anxious to see
which way Europe is going to Jump.
Russia has two possible choices. #
war breaks over Europe the nom
aggression pact can be represented
as an instrument to preserve Soviet
neutrality and peace with both sides.
If peace appears to be coming out
of the present exchanges of notes
between Prime Minister Chamberlain
and Chancellor Hitler, the claim
could be made that the Soviet, by
balancing the scales, was potent
influence for harmony in Europe.
Premier Molotoff is to make a
speech before the Soviet Parliament
at the time the non-aggression pact
is taken up. The tone of his speech
will be determined largely by the
direction events appear to be taking
at the moment.
It is much too early to expect that
the Nazi German and the Com
munist Soviet states, after discover
ing that they have such a close
affinity, would be ready, either of
them, to throw it overheard lightly.
Russia and Germany are too closely
drawn together by their very ma
lures to part company so early in
the game. What at any moment in
the future it appears to be in the
selfish interest of either side to act
outside the n-aggression pact, one
may be sure that this will be done.
But not yet.
The Soviet government may also
have considered that haste in ratify-

While we know that Washingtons

proved and brought to parity with the
best OF Americas large cities, what has
been accomplished so far should serve as
proof that public health is purchasable. :"
1t is to be regretted that in the Capital

long been overlooked. Your help in Sc

Urges Parking Provision
For All Corners.

Urges TdIAuk ETOVlSlOn
For All Corners.
To the Editor Of The Star:
1t Is with great satisfaction that note
from a recent article in The Star that
plans for the new Navy Building pro-
vide some parking space. 1t should pro-
vide space for every employee who drives
to work. At present 1t is necessary to
arrive IS minutes before work In order
to find parking space available in the
Navy-Munitions parking area. Arriving
80 minutes before work one finds all
available parking space on streets Allied
within one-haf mile Of the Navy Build
ing.
It is high time that something was
done in downtown Washington to relieve
the parking situation, not only for those
who live and work here, but for the
visitors. Many of these visitors find
limited parking near the Capitol,
Washington Monument and the Lin
coin Memorial, which Is fine for sight
seeing, but even visitors must eat and
obtain other necessities. 1t would be
interesting to know how many of the
estimated 5000, 900 visitors to- Washing
ton last year drove up and down the
streets looking for parking, were turned
away from parking lots already filled to
capacity and cut their stay short simply
because there was no parking space. To
find three parking lots in succession
filled to capacity is nothing unusual
1t would also be interesting to know how
many people living in this vicinity sell
dom shop In downtown Washington due
to this same reason.
Something should be done about it and
done now. There are a great many
streets in the museum area which are
practically untraveled but upon which
parking is forbidden. It seems as if
parking could be permitted along some of
these streets without obstrucing traffic
Many Of the streets with limited parking
such as the one running parallel to the
rejecting pool could likewise have their
parking limitations removed, thereby
providing space for visitors to park along
other streets.
