smallest possible space Is one of the
objectives of modern home building.
Bathrooms and more bathrooms are
being installed In American homes
these days-but where once they
were spacious rooms, big enough to
hold several large pieces Of fur
niture besides the plumbing fixtures,
nowadays they are about the size
OF q large closet.
A great help to space-saving in
the bathroom Is the new lavatory
designed to stand right next to the
toilet, making tank above the toilet
unnecessary. The necessary supply
tank Is built right into the lava
tory, where 1t masquerades behind
a raised shelf providing dressing ia
BILE convenience just above the fau-
Gets.
The water flows from the elon-
gated tank in the lavatory through
a concealed flush pipe in the wall
to the back inlet Of the toilet. No
large water lines are required, for
the usual home supply is sufncient
unoer most circumstances. The bowl
can be placed several inches closer
to the wall than in other installa-
tions.
The lavatory itself is good looking
enough to win friends and influence
people, even without its unseen fea-
lures. 1t comes with hexagonal
pedestal base or chromium finished
legs, at slightly additional cost.
Its raised shelf makes a perfect
resting place for bath powder, cold
cream and other bathroom acces-
sories.
The two-in-one features of the
lavatory conform with the best hy-
gienic practice, meeting the require
ments OF the strictest plumbing
codes. The lavatory and toilet
cost approximately 500 in white,
about $128 in color, minus install
lation costs. You may install them
with lavatory to the left or right of
the toilet. Be sure to specify which
will be more convenient in your new
compact bathroom.

Skyline Caverns, A
Recent Discovery

A recent discovery which is attract
ing nationwide interest is the Skyline
Caverns, at Front Royal, Va, which
are located just below the northern
gateway to the Skyline Drive in the
Shenandoah National Park.
The caverns were discovered by
Walter A. Amos of Winchester, Va,
in 1887, and though only opened to
the public in April of this year, they
have proven a magnet for thousands
Of tourists from all parts of the
world.
Its many unusual beauties include
an underground river, which winds its
way beside dry walkways, later plung-
ing into colorful waterfall. The Hell
ictites, or cave flowers, the multi
colored Painted Desert, Mirror Lakes,
Capitol Dome, Cathedral Hall, and
many other outstanding scenes make
up the attractions for the tour of this
underground wonderland.
To properly illuminate the caverns,
several eminent lighting technicians
were engaged. After six months eff
forts, one of the most modern light
ing systems, costing thousands of
dollars, was installed. More than thir-
teen hundred electric light bulbs with
miles of cable were used in bringing
out the beauties of this cavern.

BIZ MRS. ROBT. PEDDICORD

When the forces of nature go on
the rampage the destruction left in
the path is fearsome thing to wit
ness.
Howard County is particularly free
from disasters caused by wind and
flood. Never the less, a "twister" made
it's appearance last Tuesday on the
farm of Mr.. Charles Harding, near
Fulton, and gave demonstration Of
what it might do.
The house and barn on the Harding
place are several hundred feet apart.
The storm came roaring through
this space laying low the chicken
house.
A huge tree was twisted off near
the ground, as some careless child
would twist daisy from its root.
Limbs were torn from maple and
locust trees.
Doors were wrenched from the
barn. Shingles were sucked from the
roof of the house as if the huge mon
ster had taken deep breath in pass
ing.
On it raced to the orchard where
half dozen apple trees were torn
from the ground. Then having spent
itself the unwelcomed visitor disap-
peared leaving shaken but thankful
family behind.

"The most unsuccessful newspaper
in the United States does more for
the support of its community than the
finest community ever does for the
support of it's newspaper"
Such was the statement made re-
Gently by Karl Lehman, of Tavares,
Fla, publicity chairman for Kiwanis
international, to convention dele
gates. He explained that the value of
Kiwanis news is to educate a COM
munity in the service organizations
civic and welfare programs.
"The newspaper" he said, reflects
all community life, religious, educa-
tional and civic. Therefore the aver.
age citizen is indebted to his news
paper which constantly brings to him
the news of local, state, national and
international affairs.
Free Space
"Every civic, religious and educa-
tional group in community is in the
habit of coming to the newspaper
publisher, asking him to give away
free the one commodity he has for
sale. This is space! We would ask of
no other form of business in our COM
munity to give away free that which
gives livelihood. We would not go
into a bakery and ask the baker to
give us loaf of his bread. Yet the
newspaper owner is asked to give
away the space he has to sell; perhaps
not realizing that this commodity,
like any other merchandise, costs
money to produce" he said.
Kiwanis does not need TO sell it
self to its own members nor does it
need to seek publicity to glorify its
work, Mr.. Lehman estimated. XII
wants publicity must be really educa-
tional.
Crime Conference
The $15,OOO,OOO,OO0 annual crime
bill in the U. S. represents an expen-
diture for the greatest wholesale law
lessness of any nation in the civilized
world, Kiwanians were told.
Idleness and selfishness were an
nounced as two of the 'eatest con-
tributing factors in crime Poverty
and lack of employment were been as
conditions breeding all types of
crimes.

japanese Beetle
Fight Is On
In This County


that point. resulting in severe damage
in the locality.
Government traps should not be re-
moved if their location is not satisfac-
tory, but those in charge should be
notified Immediately that they might
reset the traps where they might
do some good.
Spraying = Owners who wish to
spray for the control of beetles should
use the following mixture:
3 lbs. arsenate of lead
2 lbs. wheat flour to
so gallons water
The above for hardy non-fruiting
plants.
For small fruits, grapes and early
ripening fruits poison should not be
used, therefore the beetles should be
driven from such plants by spraying
with 1 pound of hydrated lime in 8
gallons of water.
Jarring-Where plants are heavily
infested, a sheet might be placed
under the plants in the early morning
before the beetle becomes active, then
jar the plant and the beetle will fall
on the sheet, which may be emptied
in a solution of water and kerosene
oil.
Soil Treatment - one of the most
serious forms of damage from beetle
in Montgomery county, should they
become numerous, will be to lawns,
golf courses and permanent pastures.
Here is where eggs are laid and the
larvae grows to maturity feeding on
and under mining the root system.
The treatment in this is too expensive
for farm pastures, however, the grubs
can be killed by an application of
arsenate of lead; should it be neces-
sary to apply these treatments speci-
fic instructions will be issued later.
Plans For Planting = Considerable
adjustment will be necessary in plan
ming for paintings both in the subur-
ban and agricultural districts if
beetles become numerous. There are
certain plants that are not injured by
the beetle, many of which are salts
factory for ornamental, garden and
farm purposes. The planting dates
for species badly injured may be ad-
justed to escape major injury. For
instance, injury to corn is done by
cutting the silks which prevents
proper pollintation of the ear; but
corn may be raised if planted sufi-
GENTLY late to produce silk about the
middle Of August, which is the end of
the beetle season. In later article,
we will list plants in two groups: (1)
Those seriously damaged by beetles
and, (2) Those which are not injured
to any considerable extent.
1t should be known that we have no
hope of stamping out the Japanese
Beetle and our program is to retard
their progress to point of minor
economic Importance, while farmers
and residents are making the proper
adjustments in their plans, planting,
etc., and while we are developing GER
tain forms of insect life which de-
stroys beetles. With the proper coop
Grafton of everyone concerned, these
things can be accomplished and in
short period of years the Japanese
Beetle will be considered in a class
with many other insects which are
capable of destruction but against
which battle lines have already been
drawn. However, we can be assured
that this is the most serious pest that
we have thus far encountered and dis
astrous damage will be the result
should only few of our citizens at
tempt to fight the pest.

For centuries the rose has been

Jay Franklin Urged to
Forget Prejudices.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the analysis of James A. Farley's
presidential opportunities in The Star of
April 10, Jay Franklin proceeds to stress
the religious affiliations of his subject as
primary handicap for Chief Executive
consideration.
With all the present-day movements
to destroy existing bigotries and hates
Jay Franklin might resteer his convic-
tions in behalf of a common brother
hood. This writer, often criticized by the
reading public for his type of news pres
entatlon, persists in disseminating seeds
OF dlscord. In the interest of general
good will, this writer might come out of
the attic of prejudice and matriculate
at the College of Broad Mindedness-re-
schedule his thinking and clothe his
thoughts with Christian charity-advo-
cate it, write about it, champion its finer
purposes. This columnist has present
a golden opportunity to emerge from the
dark and exist in the sphere of modern
enlightenment. 1t would be a gracious
concession for the sake of the good
neighbor policy" which at times has been
his theme song. LOUIS v. WoULFE.

Debussy

Claude Achille Debussy was born
at St. Germain-en-Laye, August o.,
1862. He belonged to the modern
period in the history of music. The
influences which affect modern
audience outside the concert hall
therefore may be said to have
touched him as, of course, they could
not touch Beethoven or Bach. His
work was tinctured by the restless
spirit of his time and his place. He
was, in brief, a product of France in
an era of revolt and decline. 1t must
be added that he chose to be a leader
in the flight from classical standards
in art. Even in childhood, he pre-
terred to be regarded as radical.
Before he died, March 26, 1918, he
had seen the bitter harvest of cul-
tural anarchy. It had been in some
part responsible for the World War.
Also, it had opened the gates to
esthetic nihilism which still remains
uncorrected.
Critics, however, are not unchari-
table to Debussy. They know we'll
enough that his efforts were related
to those Of the impressionist painters
and sculptors, the symbolist poets
and the left wing politicians. But
they are not guilty of supposing that
he was an extremist like Cezanne or
Marcel Proust, Delcasse or Clemen-
ceau. His place is with Puvis. de

Chavannes and Maurice Maeterlinck.

Chavannes and Maurice Maeterlinck.
He was mystic rather than a real
ist, and for that reason, If for none
other, his compositions wear well as
the years pass. They have delicacy
and grace, they are melodious with
out being sugary. A dignity charac-
terizes them even when their author
tries to be popular. He breaks their
harmony deliberately but not mali
ciously. The academiSts who re-
sented him were too severe. He was
a reformer, yet not a rebel. So he
thought of himself In his maturity,
and so he was and will continue to
be now that his labors are done.
It is true, certainly, that the
Afternoon of Faun" depends upon
a program explanation; but Clouds"
and Festivals" are not difficult to
comprehend Debussy was not a
complicated person. He loved the
beauty of contrasting sounds, created
such beauty Immortality. To be on
terms of friendship with him is to
enjoy an experience in congenial
adventure.

The Workers Alliance

The Workers Alliance may have
been accused of many things during
its hectic existence, but shyness is
not one OF them. This irrepressible-
and sometimes seemingly irrespon-
sible-organization of rank and file"
members of the Works Progress Ad-
mlnlstration has marched, lobbied
and maneuvered en- masse in the
name of relief. It has carried signs
to the gates of the White House
grounds, chanted outside the Capitol
and otherwise performed as an
aggressive pressure group should
perform.
1t is not surprising, therefore,
although it does not seem to make
sense-to be confronted with the
spectacle of representative of the
Workers Alliance lecturing members
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee on the proper way to conduct
an investigation of the w. P. A. It
seems illogical to have a brain child
of Congress bouncing back on its
creator in organized form with fire
IN its eyes, chip on its shoulder
and demands for more relief in its
clenched fists.
This raises question-one which
the committee properly should in
vestigate-as to the propriety of
using taxpayers money, earmarked
for relief of human suffering, to pay
dues to promote an organization de-
signed to lobby for more money ear
marked for relief.
That the alliance leadership has
been charged with Communistic
leanings; that Herbert Benjamin,
second in command, admits he is a
member of the Communist party, is
beside the point. Communistic or
Fascist or Democratic-the principle
at issue is the same. Of course, if
Congress sought to prevent w. P. A.
employees from joining or contribut-
ing to the Workers Alliance, the
cry undoubtedly would be raised
and with typical Alliance vociferous-
ness-that constitutional guarantees
of peaceable assembly and petition
were being abridged. The question
of the desirability of making any
such move admittedly is a serious
one, but such exhibitions as that
staged at the Capitol this week by
the representatives of the Alliance
demonstrate the necessity of max
ing a thorough study of the problem
at this time.
