GAINESVILLE, Fla. Oct. &C.
The University of Florida football
squad, 33 strong, was to leave here
this afternoon at o'clock for COL
lege Park, Md. and its game with
the University of Maryland Saturday
afternoon.
The Gators will reach Washington
at l1:40 tomorrow morning and plan
workout in the afternoon.
Victorious in their last two starts
over Boston College and Tampa by
scores OF 7 to 0, the Gators are
anxious to subdue the Terrapins.
They won from Maryland here last
year in a tight battle, but never
have had much success at College
Park.

While showing to ADVANTAGE on

been promoted to the first-string
tallback position after his good
showing against Boston and Tampa.
He passed Is yards to Leo Cahill for
the touchdown at Boston and was
the handspring in the ground attack
that netted the lone counter against

nevertheless is a powerful runner
ana is the best passer and punter on
the Florida squad.
Aerial Attack in Prospect.
Seemingly dedicated to working
out their running plays against

400 yards from scrimmage, but
lacked the punch to make more than
seven points. 1t is likely that they

The team should be in excellent
condition for Maryland's home-com-

in the Tampa tilt, but will be ready
Saturday. The rest came through

Florida now owns a record Of
three wins against two defeats. It
beat Stetson in the opener. 81 to 0,
and then dropped two touchdown
decisions to Texas and Mississippi
State before encountering Boston

Terps Vary Their Practice.

Maryland had a varied practice at

more attention to the attack than
to the defense, The latter will be
taken care of today.
The Terp attack calls for a $3.50
mixture of running and passing
plays and both were thoroughly re-
hearsed in yesterdays drill.

In 1873, Mrs. Eliza c. Tibbetts of
Riverside, Calf, received from the
United States department of agri-
culture at Washington, two small
orange trees of the navel variety,
imported from Bahia, Brazil, and
presumably of Portuguese origin.
1t may have been the Portuguese
who first brought the sweet, or China
orange into Europe; or it may have
been other Genoese seafarers of Co
lumbus' day who brought it from the
Levant. The sour, or Seville, orange,
was carried from Indo- China to the
Mediterranean shores by the Arabs,
probably during the Ninth or Tenth
century, according to a writer in
So You're Going.
During the era of Mohammedan
conquest. that orange was carried
all over Northern Africa and South
ern Europe. Tons of them 90 daily,
now. into the marrnslaoe pots Of
England and many another land.
Soldiers returning from the Cru
sades acquainted Northern Europe
Will H. Out tnc sweet orange
seems to have been brought by the
great Portuguese discoYerers of Vas
CO da Gama's day to their own coun-
try and to the Azores.
1t would be inconceiYable that the
Spanish Franciscans who had SO
much TO do with the early history
of California, should not have done
something with the orange tree.
They did. San Gabriel mission had
orange trees in 1904. But those
two trees of Mrs. Tibbett's are held
to be the great gift m an ever made
to California; for they introduced
the golden fruit which has brought
more wealth to the state than all
the mineral gold min ed since 1913.
One of them is still bearing.

Grisxlers Are Out

Grigglers no longer visit apple or
chards and remove the few apples
left after the harvest. this ancient
autumn custom having been allowed
to lapse in England. The grigglers
were TO orchards what cleaners
were to the fields, for they picked
the apples the farmers did not want,
divided them among their number
and made tarts, 1ellies and jams for
the winter from the fruit. Farmers
once gave them wine and beer and
IN turn were toasted with rhymes
and songs.

Selecting a Judge

In an unprecedented action the
District of Columbia Bar Association
has recommended to Attorney Gen.
eral Murphy and President Roosevelt
that United States Attorney David
A. Pine be appointed to the vacancy
on the District Court bench caused
by the death recently of Justice Jo-
seph w. Cox. 1t has been the custom
OF the association in the past, when
ludgeship appointments were under
consideration at the Department of
Justice and the White House, to sug-
gest, not one, but several eligibles
from the ranks of the local bar.
Mr.. Pine was the unanimous choice
OF the Bar Association for the District
Court because he is singularly quail
he'd to serve on the bench and be-
cause the association felt that his
record as district attorney has earned
him not only the appreciation of his
colleagues in the legal fraternity but
the right to some special recognition
bY his superiors. Mr.. Pine is, indeed,
eminently fitted for judicial service
IN District Court. A native and life
long resident of Washington, he has
had distinguished career as LAWYER
IN private practice, special attorney
in the Department of Justice and
prosecutor. Few attorneys are so
thoroughly familiar with the work of
the local courts, so cognizant of the
legal problems peculiar to the seat
of Government.
The Bar Association-like The
Star-believes that the District of
Columbia is entitled to the fullest
practicable representation on the
District Court bench in view of the
fact that most of the cases coming
before that tribunal are of local
origin. The demands of justice in
this Jurisdiction can best be served
by the appointment to the District
Court of justices acquainted by long
experience with the special law prob
lens OF the District of Columbia. The
unusual recommendation made bv
the Bar Association merits the most
serious attention of Mr.. Murphy and
the President.

solved by digging the hole rather larger
than seems necessary.
This will allow for making the walls
straight, thus making it easy to have
enough room to fatten the bottom.
1t also permits the stirring and break
ing up of more soil Immediately around
the bulb, which is always q good thing
in planting.
You never can get back into the hole,
Of course all the earth you take out.
No matter how long one works in the
yard, the wonder Is always the same,
that so much more comes out than can
ever be gotten back!
This is good thing, however, provided
allowance Is made for it. 1t results in
good stirring up of the soil, in all
planting operations, and Incorporates
some air, but not in too great quanti-
ties at any one place.
1t means that when rains fall, some
Of the water will have easier entrance
to the root depths, but since there is
no air pocket left there, it will not stand
around the base Of the bulb.

After the bulb is squarely placed on
its base, in which it is best to place some
sand, to insure good drainage the soil
is poured in around it, but not watered
down.
Some firming of the soil may be done
with the hand, but this should not be
done hard enough to dislodge the bulb
on its base.
Earth should be heaped little on the
surface, but not enough to cause water
to flow completely away. If too little
earth is left, a depression will form, at
the first rain, In which water will remain,
which Is not a good thing.
The idea Is to have the earth fiat
above all bulbs when winter comes.

Are bulbs best in borders, beds, or
drifts?
Prlm things, such as the hyacinth,
look best in beds, but tulips in rows, and
most OF the smaller bulbs in drifts.
Daffodils, by whatever name one
chooses to call them, are at their best
in the so-called naturalistic treatment,
that is, planted. in no regular order,
but giving the effect Of just having grown
there.
This is the way they really do grow in
nature, through multiplication, and no
doubt it gives the best possible effect In
any situation. What must be kept in
mind Is that the idea of drift" does not
necessarily contain the idea of size.
Drifts OF spring flowers need not be along
estate lines; small drift at a doorstep.

more than dozen bulbs, but the effect

Drung Mach Osten

Events IN southeastern Europe be-
gin to suggest that Hitler bought
gold brick when he gave Stain op-
portun1ty suddenly to switch from
proletarian to imperialist garb. Der
Fuehrer won his war against Poland
in jig time, but the price the Nazis
seem to have paid for the Soviets'
aid Is the halting of Germanv's
Drang mach Osten-the thrust for
power across the Balkans to the
Black Sea. Again the Berlin-to-
Baghdad bubble appears in dan
ger OF bursting-this time, once for
all-because the Russian bear is bv
way OF squatting squarely athwart
that path.
European chancellories expect
speedy and concrete developments
along these lines, with the impending
arrival in Moscow of Shukru Sara
coglu, Turkish foreign minister. His
circumstantially reputed purpose is
to lay the foundations of peace in
the Balkans. This would be accom-
plished, the Turks plan, by linking
Rumania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and
Greece into a self-contained neutral
group protected by Turkey, Russia
and Italy.
The net effect of such a constella-
ton would be to throw back GERMANY
IN the east, virtually to the "line of
demarcation" in Poland fixed upon
with the Soviet Union, whereby the
Reich holds the western two-flfths of
the occupied country and Russia the
rest. Hitler by this agreement, if it
lasts, forfeits his deeply cherished
claim to the Ukraine, with its treas
ure-trove of mineral and agricultural
wealth, and loses the prospect of
Seizing the economic riches of Ru-
mania, for one hundred divisions of
Stains army now stand on the line
OF the Vistula and the Carpathians-
an effectual bar to German penetra-
ton across either Hungary or Ru-
mania to the Black Sea. If these
Turco-Russian-Italian schemes pan
out, Drang mach Osten is headed for
the discard.
Mussolini has no occasion to view
such an outlook with alarm. The
1talo-Greek agreement to withdraw
troops from the Albanian frontier
and the rehabilitation of the Italian
garrison on the Dodecanese Islands
and the Anatolian coast clearly in
dicate II Duce's anxiety by conces-
sionary gestures to protect Italy's in
terests and hopes in the Balkans
against the menace of a German ad-
vance in that region. But the Soviet
Union appears to be the chief pros
pective beneficiary from the projected
new deal in the Balkan peninsula. It
would be an ironical turn of the
wheel Of fate If, instead of paving the
way to the realization of the "Mein
Kampf" program of German mas
terry of the East, this strange and
kaleidoscope war, made in Ger

well worth the careful consideration
OF the legislators.
He also proposed such things as
the drawing of general statutes ap-
plicable to all counties when possible
to eliminate many similar local bills;
outlawing the practice Of introducing
bills by amending previously intro
duced measures in their entirety;
Inauguration of a speedier method of
handling local bills; avoidance of
last-minute Legislative jams by ad-
vancing the deadline for introduction
of bills and authorization of the
transfer of judges from one circuit
to another when needed.
It should be borne in mind that
these are not the academic recon-
mendation of political theorist but
the proposals of an experienced exec
utive. They indicate the need for
examining the very groundwork of
our Government at a time when
democracy must prove it is a better
system than one-man rule.

Local Suffrage Seen -
Cure for District Ills.
70 the Editor Of The Star:

I have been informed recently Of
drastic reductions Of forces and salaries
OF w. p. A. workers In the District Why
inhict such reductions upon the residents
and workers of the District of Columbia,
who are now confronted with many un-
fortunate perplexities? It would be far
more equitable to let all the States and
Territories fare and share alike when
reductions are made necessary. Play no
favorites. Act impartially. I believe the
only solution of the many inequities that
exist Is for Congress to enact legislation
granting suffrage to the residents of the
District Of Columbia, with the privilege
OF electing their own people to govern
their affairs and with representation in
Congress. A bona fide and lifelong
resident Of Washington, D. c., close to rs
years, I feel confident that Congress will
rescue the disfranchised populace Of the
District Of Columbia by enacting such
legislation during the special or regular
session. HENRY r. ASH.
