Deplores Vandalism in
Rock Creek Park.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Washington is unusually well supplied
with recreational facilities, and the great
majority of people use them appreci-
atively.
However, attention Is called to the
carelessness and vandalism of few
who thereby cause discomfort to others
and unnecessary expense to the tax
payers. To leave a picnic area Uttered
with paper and refuse seems inexcusable:
to tear wood from tables or benches for
flrewood is doubly so. And yet such
things are done, as may be seen too
often in Rock Creek Park.
The parks, perhaps, are inadequately
policed, and yet such policing should
not be needed. Rather should individ-
uals school themselves to treat public
property with the respect they would
wish their own to receive.
May our recreational facilities receive
the care they deserve. May public dis
approval discourage the all too frequent
carelessness and vandalism now evident.
Cooperation on the part of the we'll
disposed public, the authorities and the
press should result in increased enjoy
ment for all. Liberty, but not license,
has always distinguished an enlightened
people. HELEN M. WHITE.

1t is, Of course, much easier to do the

danger comes in allowing the stems to
bob up while the cutting is being done.
II the work is done carelessly, the
stems will emerge every time.
Goodness and darkness are two old
means of reviving cut flowers.

In need for cut flowers. Bowls may be
placed in it overnight, to the benefit
Of the blossoms.
Nighttime is always helpful, especially
II the bowls and vases can be placed
on porch or outdoors.
It is questionable whether cut flowers
should ever be permitted to stay indoors
at night, either in winter or summer.
In winter the warm rooms tend to wilt
them in summer, the lack of cool air.
Except in the coldest weather, an un-
heated sun porch is ideal for overnight
storage.
1t also is questionable whether fresh
water should be given cut flowers every
day.
1t must be kept in mind that cut
flowers are already dead, that at the
best the bowl and vase filled with them
can have only very short "life'

is much argument about results.
An aspirin tablet, as sometimes ad-
vised, won't do any good. If it seems to,
1t Is just coincidence
The HaWaiianS have a method of ham
ding buds, especially of the hibiscus,
which is interesting. The buds are cut
before daylight and taken indoors, where
they are placed in a closet or other cool
place.
Here they remain until the evening
time, when they are brought forth and
placed in bowls or stuck into sand, where
they open at once, even under the in
fuence of electric light.
Those interested in flower arrange
ment might try the same scheme with
otner pudS, winch probably would react
in much the same way, provided they
were kept in absolute dark and cut under
water as directed.
The subject of flower arrangement is
large one which has been discussed in
many and expensive books in recent
years. But there is no question but
that the material must be at hand before
the arranging can be done. Not only
must the flowers be available, but they
must be kept in good shape for a few
days, at least
There is not much point in even the
most beautiful arrangements if the sub
jects are to fade and wither almost be-
fore they are placed. Any suggestions
which help to keep flowers fresh are
received with open arms by flower lovers

CHEVY CHASE, Md.

Dear Sir:
Being flower lover, I want to pass on
to you some information given to me
many years ago which I try to give to
those who love flowers, too.
Visiting an artist one hot day he gave
me some Of his choice peonies to take
home.
II protested. as I felt they would be
quite done for after the long ride had
to take, and couldn't bear to have them
cut just to die.
HE told me what to do to revive them,
which is applicable to all flowers.
"The stems of all plants are practically
hollow, and when cut, air goes up into
the stems, and when placed in water
there is an air bubble which prevents
the water from going up and reviving
the flowers.
place the flower in the container YOU
wish to keep it in, with the water in the
container, and then cut the stem under
water or 3 inches, depending on the
length Of stem
"Of course, do not let the stem out of
water again.
Il have had trillium, than which moth
ing Is more delicate, picked at noon on
a hot day and left In the bottom of the
car until evening when 1t looked fit for
the trash pile.
But cut each stem under water and
placed the bowl In a cool place, and even
though the flowers hung over the sides
OF the bowl like white rags, the next
morning each flower was standing as
stiff and alive as If still growing, and
that bowl was fresh for 10 days.
i have had Zinnias carried around
Washington in delivery truck for hour4,
delivered to me seemingly utterly dead
and gone. But by the time had finished
arranging the second bowl, the flowers
in the first bowl had revived.
Il tried a poppy the other day-they
never last In the house, but mine did for
four days by cutting the stem under
water
Try for yourself by taking a rosebud,
IaTIy well out, ana let 1t lie on the table
until it Is all droopy and then try the
stem cutting.
Il could give many illustrations but
they are not necessary, just try for your
self and am sure you will find you can
save many lovely flowers.
Sincerely yours, E. B. r."
X 4
This Is good idea, which, as our
correspondent suggests, can be tried by
any one.
The point is to keep the stem under
water while doing the cutting, and then
not permit 1t to emerge
This Is not easy, in a narrow bowl, or
vase.

commerce, is q trivial price to pay
for safeguarding this Nation against
one Of the major causations Of mod
ern war. It is to be hoped that the
House leadership will give most Sc
rious consideration to the full impli-
cations Of abandonment of the
carry it yourself" principle before
surrendering completely on this
issue. Nor should 1t be lost sight of
that to eliminate this safeguard
against what experience has proved
to be probable involvement in other
peoples wars is to play directly into
the hands of the isolationists,
especially the strong bloc in the
Senate which has been piling up
ammunition for a death struggle
against the whole Hull program.

The Line Is BUSY

The problem of rapid communica-
tion at distance is very ancient
one, engaging the attention OF man
kind since the dawn of history. The
first recorded attempt at its solution
was that of an Egyptian Pharaoh,
who established line of bondsmen
about quarter of mile apart. In
this system, known as the tell-a-
slave, the message would start out at
Cairo and be rapidly relayed all the
way to Memphis where the Beale
Street office would write 1t on a brick
with a chisel. Three hours later
Memphian wearing blue uniform
and a long gray beard would crawl in
and deliver it, The achievement
was hailed as a miracle of science,
but soon broke down and became
useless. The Pharaohs' wives spent
so much time sending messages
about clothes that the slave line was
always busy.
A few centuries later, in America,
an Indian Sachem, Chief Sourpuss,
invented the smoke signal, consist
ing OF wet blanket on a camp fire.
BY this means he was enabled to
maintain communication with his
scouts, place his hits, and knock the
opposition for a row of wigwams.
This scheme soon failed, as the
squaws used it so much to exchange
information about the latest styles
in moccasins that the fire was always
busy.
Perfection was not attained until
1874 when Mr.. Morse invented the
telegraph. Prof1ting by past ex-
perience, he insured its success by
the simple device of establishing
financial penalty for all words over
ten, thus checkmating the ladies.
Later, in 1875, Alexander Graham
Bell invented the telephone, an in
teresting device which may possibly
have a future. Right now, however,
the line Is busy.

The future king is the grandson
of Edward VII of Great Britain and
Frederick VIII of Denmark. His
father is Haakon VII, elected to the
Norwegian throne in 1905; his
mother, the late and most gratefully
remembered Queen Maud, who died
in November last. Born July 2, 1903,
at Sandringham in England, he was
called Alexander in his infancy, his
name later being changed in COM
pliment to the people he one day is
to serve as monarch. His education
has been similar to that of the British
princes, his cousins. He loves the sea
and is an ardent yachtsman. In
winter he goes skiing over the hills
near Oslo. His intellectual interests
include political economy in its
liberal aspects, industrial engineer
Ing, sociology and humane philoso-
ply. He Is a cosmopolitan with a
natural enthusiasm for travel, init
mate acquaintance with people of
every class and a sincere compre-
hension of their problems.
Such a visitor, even if he occupied
only a private station, would be as
sured of hospitality anywhere in the
United States. He needs not to be
told that Washington is proud to
greet him and his gracious helpmate.

The Senate Gold Vote


In the Senate's three-fold amend
ment to the monetary bill, termina-
tion Of the Presidents power further
to cut the gold content of the dollar
has attracted wide attention. The
Senate's vote is hailed by sound
money advocates as big step to-
ward stability. Certainly it is a
move away from the managed
money theories Of the Warren-Pear-
son school of thought. To many who
looked to imitation for economic re-
lief In the exciting days Of the early
New Deal, the idea that any desired
price" level can be produced simply
by varying the gold content of the
dollar has come to look like BRAIN
truster's gold brick"
It is important to note that the
administrations legal powers over
gold weres not so badly smitten by
the Senate as might appear on the
surface. The Presidents power to
cut the gold content of the dollar
and thereby to raise the Government
price OF gold has been limited not
only as to time but as to amount.
Only until Friday may he vary the
gold content OF the dollar at will
between sixty and fifty per cent of its
pre-1934 amount.
But the Gold Reserve Act of 1884
gave the Secretary Of the Treasury
much broader and permanent power
to raise or lower the price Of gold.
This power Of the Secretary does
not expire and it requires no con-
gressional action for its continuance.
The Secretary, with the Presidents
approval, may pay $50 an ounce for
gold, $40, or any other price, as he
sees At. Therefore, the chief sig
niflcance Of the Senate's action on
devaluation is that 1t indicates the
will OF that body on the subject OF
the price Of gold. Probably few of
the Senators who voted to deprive
the President Of his authority real
ize the unlimited breadth of the
administrators remaining gold
powers.
The complete elimination OF all
the administrations gold powers
would mean a flrmer link between
the dollar and gold in the interna-
tional markets. But 1t would not
necessarily insure stability Of inter-
national exchange rates, since tying
the dollar to gold does not tie float
ing foreign currencies to either gold
or the dollar. Nor does it restore
the gold standard domestically, in
asmuch as private holding of gold is
still taboo. Finally, important pow
ers now concentrated In the Treas
ury and the Federal Reserve System
give us managed currency"
whether we like 1t or not.
One thing that a fixed price OF
gold does is to assure foreign and
domestic miners of the metal, and
all other sellers, that Uncle Sam will
continue to take as much gold as
they care to sell him. In that re-
spect, the Senate's devaluation vote
will be welcomed by financial and
mining circles abroad,

To the Editor Of The Star:
Mr.. Ward. who predicted in his letter
Of June 20 that the appointment Of Mr..
MacLeish as librarian Of Congress would
cost Mr.. Roosevelt 10000 votes, is too
optimistic. for the reason that many of
the 10000 members Of the American
Library Association hold their positions
under municipalities and States. and the
long arm Of the spokesman can execute
vengeance.
We may consider that the 40-year
