GOOD NeighbOrS."

Tell me what is wrong with my
garden" asked the chairman of the
program committee. 81 know there's
something; but I can't decide what
it is" We went across the lawn
toward excellently designed and
Splendidly kept borders.
But the colorS! From bed to bed
and border to border, they swore
at each other in way to make the
proverbial trooper blush at his own
verbal incompetence.
A few questions brought out the
lady's preference for bright, strong"
colors, and in selecting plants she had
followed her taste in individual
blooms without any thought of the
composite effect. 1t would be as
sensible to assemble costume by
selecting each item-dress, hat, shoes
and hand bag-on its individual ap-
peal, without regard to what is to be
worn with it.
In the garden we want color GER
tainly, plenty of color; riot of color,
if you will-but not free-for-a all
fight!
An Easy Road to Harmony.
First of all, and 1 think most i'm
portant, is the selection of varieties
in what may be termed good neigh
Dor" colors; that is in shades and
tints of the primary colors-red, yell
low and blue-which readily blend
or harmonic with others.
1t is difficult to describe this par
ticular quality of color. But you
know that the so-called pastel shades
blend or harmonic in way that is
not true of the same colors in clearer,
stronger chrome. You may have
noticed that it is almost impossible
to obtain disharmony with the dull
toned Breeder tulips, while, with the
clear hues of the Single Early or Cot
tage types it is very easy to do so.
In some flower families all the
colors naturally live harmoniously
together. Sweet peas can be mixed
indiscriminately-n hard, clear col
ors bring note of discord. But one
cannot say the same of dahlias or
gladioli.
Gray the Great Peacemaker.
In practice, the free use of the
gray-foliaged plants (such as Silver
King Artemesia) in the garden helps
in preserving harmony Two other
methods are to use strong dominant
colors (Which cannot be omitted en-
tirely if dull, monotonous effect
is to be avoided) in smaller groups
or masses than lighter ones; and to
place them, if possible, in partial
shade.
Some Good Neighbor Varieties.
Simplest of all, as I said before,
is to choose the flowers for your gar
den in colors that will easily blend
with other flowers And am Civ
ing list of such flowers below. A
garden made up of selections from
them will have few discordant notes.
Reds: Of all colors the reds and
the red-purples require most careful
handling. The following, however,
are not fighters: That excellent small
dahlia, Bishop of LANDAU, whose
dark foliage is a peacemaking factor;
Aster FREELY, which darkens as it
ages; Gaillardia Ruby; Geum Mrs
Bradshaw; Crimson Star Aquilegia.
Pink: Those pinks with salmon
under or overtones harmonic well
with most other hues. Here are some
of my favorites among the ANIMALS:
Petunia Salmon Supreme, Petunia
Copper Rose, Shirley Poppy Wild
Rose; Aster Los Angeles, Cosmos

lowed the speeches Bishop Hughes
asserted "the great weakness of lib
eralism is the emphasis upon intel
lect and not enough upon the heart.
The great centers of overdone
emotionalism today are your colleges
and universities, including football,
for one thing. Our ministers today
are so far away from the old camp
meeting spirit that their emotions
are suppressed. In my church, in
tellect has overwhelmed the young
ministers and suppressed their sensi-
bilities. There must be balance
between the two"
The forum was concluded when
each of the three speakers made a
rapid-flre reply to a triple-barreled
question from the floor, asking for
their positions on conscientious OBJ
jectors, the cooperative movement
and sale of munitions to combatant
nations.
Bishop Hughes said that Quaker
conscientious objectors were exempt
from prosecution under the law be-
cause of their objections to bearing
arms and that "Universahst objec-
tors should have the same privilege"
He said Il would not sell munitions
to Japan, certainly not to Hitler"
DR.. Ewers approved the co-opera-
tive movement and said he would
mot sell arms to anybody"
, Well" replied Bishop Hughes to
the latter remark, Il never have"
DR.. Skinner termed conscientious
objection "the Christian point of
view" and termed sale of munitions
impossible on Christian grounds"

Summit Park Citizens
Association Indorses
Central Library
Postcard Campaign
To Win Vote on D. 6.
CounciImen Fuvored

After brisk debate, the Summit
Park Citizens Association last night
advocated erection of new central
library at John Marshall place and
c street NV. before building any
more branch libraries.
Mrs. Leila Marshall, president, told
the group the present building is so
badly overcrowdeed books have to
be stacked on floors and Railways
must be utilized for Offices. She said
branch libraries would further in
crease the load. She described a
new central building as the most
logical and reasonable solution to
the central library problem.
William Smith, delegate to the
Southeast Council of Citizens Asso-
Citations. differed with her. however,
claiming that the S3,500,000 the
central building would cost could
pay for several branches and sug-
gested one in Anacostia. Charles
Hall, treasurer, suggested an addi-
ton or new story to the present
building. but was told by Mrs. Mar
shall that was architecturally i'm
practicable.
IndorSe Council Vote Drive.
The post card campaign to have
the proposed city council for the
District popularly elected was in
dorsed after Mr. Smith asserted that
the proposed plan of having the
President appoint the councilmen
would retard District suffrage
generation. He asked an enlarged
city council truly representing the
now voteless taxpayers and citizens
of Washington.
Identification of Pennsylvania
avenue Sc. from the Library of
Congress to the Anacostia River

George H. Marshall. He requested

placed and general Identification of

Dorothy Dix Says
Cost of Marriage Biggest Single
Reason Men Remain Bachelors

he is faithful to his deathless pas
sion for himself and buys the
streamlined automobile.
Another reason why men do not
marry is because they do not have
to. In former days a wife was a
necessity. Now she is an ornamental
fringe on life. The poor bachelor
who had wearied and sickened of
club and restaurant and boarding
house cooking, who had no one to
darn his socks. or send out his
laundry, or nurse him when he was
sick, or keep up with his engage
ments, was practically driven into
marriage to get some one to take
care of him.
Many men do not marry because
their freedom is dearer to them
than anything in the world. Others
do not marry because they are
selfish, and the very thought of
having to give up all of their little
ways and adjust themselves to the
personality of a woman sends cold
chills up and down their spines.
Others do not marry because they
are celibate by nature. No woman
ever raises a thrill in their breasts.
Thousands of other men never
marry because of a sad secret they
keep locked in their hearts and
that no one guesses. Sometimes
it is because a man has been faith
full through all the years to dead
love. He gave all he had to one
woman and there was noting left
to give another. Sometimes it is
because a man was kept from
marrying by possessive mother
who would not loosen her clutch
upon him. Sometimes it is because
there were old parents, or little
brothers and sisters he had to sup
port, and by the time they were of
his hands love had passed him by.

This is such frilly, pretty apron
frock, with wide lapels, high-shoul-
dered sleeves and bright touches of
braid. The waistline looks small,
the skirt flares prettily. Even the
pockets are decorative as we'll as
convenient. But at the same time
1868 is as practical as a meat
grinder. It's easy to put on-just
pull the belt through the side-slit
and fasten it-easy to iron, and ex-
tremely easy to make.
You'll find it comfortable to work
In because armholes, waistline and
hemline are all easy and unhamper-
ing. Thanks to the adjustable belt,
you can slip it on over your street
dress when you come home late and
must get supper in a hurry. Make
this apron frock of percale, ging-
ham or calico, and you'll wonder
how you ever kept house without it!
