WASHINGTON-What the busi-
ness community and the conserva-
tive groups want to know is how
much can be done by this admins
tration for business in its present
turn TO the right"
This concern centers around
certain key subjects so far as
business is concerned.
One of them Ia taxes. The other
In government regulations. The
third In the antitrust laws. The
fourth In labor. The fifth Is the
question OF money and the dollar.
Whether the administration can
actually do anything for them or
not, at least one thing is quite
possible. II can stop frightening
them. 1t can also declare mora
forum upon reform. That, Of
course. In what the business man
wants.
The liberal groups feel pretty
bad about this. They insist that
actually few of the great major
reforms required by the country
have been carried through.
Can the administration balance
the budget next year? The answer
is no" Can 1t reduce taxesg Well,
the president has announced that
he will not raise taxes. That Is as
much as any business man can ex-
pect. But while there can be no
decrease OF taxes. he may hope for
some change In the type of taxes.
The business man does not want
the undistributed profits tax on
corporations and he wants the
rates mitigated in the upper
brackets. But II the upper brackets
are relieved, then they will have to
be shifted. TO the lower brackets.
At least business leaders believe
that they have gotten over to the
administration In q big way their
demand for the elimination of
those taxes which tend to hinder
investment. And private invest
ment Is the oil that turns the
wheels Of industry.
What can the administration dc

One thing the president can do

this. As she studied her new hus- band, the length of the table away, talking seriously with Dean Somers on the business outlook at the moment, Iris realized that Johnny had spoken a fear that was buried deep in her subcon- scious mind. That was why she never let him know how much she paid for anything, or how much she spent, or what she did with her money! It was the secret reason for a dozen little reticences that had sprung up between them over the months they had known each other. Secrets she was de- termined he should never know.
 Don't look so scared, bride," Johnny continued cheerfully, though you're as lovely as Red iding Hood, I'm no wolf. I was just charting your course for a happy sail over the seas of matri- mony. It's the first year that counts, Iris. On it, you lay the foundation of your future, be it happiness Or-mlSery.
 Johnny, don't!" she said sharp ly, and when Bart looked up, startled, and gave her question ing look she managed 8 set little smile and passed it off gracefully.
 "He was teasing me about something that is - sacred she said to Bart, not realizing that she laid the first paving stone with that small flo.
 That out of that small lie were to grow thousand more, mighty network of them, choking off their happiness, destroying their faith, their trust and love. That by its very glibness. that first small lie betrayed her complete ever to let Bart completely apart were their lines of thought.

fore a few friends and the dean, while the deans wife wept senti- mentally all through the solemn little ceremony in the gray stone church at the end of Sorority Row. And instead of returning home to the little apartment they had prepared, hastily, out of Iriss roms, and an additional room, adjoining, plus the furnishings Bart brought from his rooms, there was the wedding supper at the Tivoli.
 Bart was tired from a rushed hectic day at the shop, and if he thought, fleetingly, of the cozy Saturday night supers of steak, French fried potatoes, salad and shortcake, or baked beans and fix ings that was their usual Satur- day night feast, he said nothing. This was his wedding day, his and Iris's. And whatever Iris wanted, he wanted her to have.
 At the supper, Johnny Kevlin, his best man and a reporter on a small daily paper 40 miles from Linwood, had a cocktail too many and grew maudlin over Iris.
 Best pal ever had, Iris, darlin'," he admonished her owl ishly, but devil with the wo- men,"
 Iris was startled. Of all the faults she knew men to possess, this was one she hadn't found in Bart. He seemed peculiarly i'm mune to lovely damsels, and turned disinterested eyes to their best efforts to snag his interest.

mules. She had to have another blouse, and some pumps and a hat. And she had to insist gently but firmly on gardenias, instead of the violets Bart wanted to give her to wear to the wedding.
 "Violets make your eyes so beautiful" he pleaded with a rare burst of eloquence for him.. land they're in season now, honey"
 But all my life I've wanted gardenias for my wedding, Bart! I <. :. know it's silly, and they're probably horribly expensive, but girl doesn't have but one we'd ding to lifetime, and it's just this once. You :. you can get me the violets to wear on my suit later - after the wedding if you want. I'll wear them to dinner, and you'll love them just as much"
 He gulped and tried not to show the dent this made in his careful budget. Gardenias were bad enough, but gardenias and violets too!
 You must remember a small gift for your best man, too, Bart, D she reminded him. Some nice studs, or cigaret box, or some thing"
 T never thought of that, Iris" Reproachfully - as if it were quite her fault, instead of being a cus- tom she merely reminded him of.
 "I'll get them, Bart; you quit worrying" Iris admonished him.
 No! I'll get them"
 Darling" she said in tender re- proach, mot letting it get you down this early? Think what I've to worry over"
 Its just that I was so sure I'd figured everything" he explained.

Some Of the perennial seed is slow Of
termination. Some of it seems to want
to lie in the ground all winter and be
frozen before starting into life. OF
these types are the irises, lilies and
other dubious plants which are now
being raised from seed more frequent
ly than ever before. An interesting eX-
pertinent to speed termination can be
tried at home if one has a mechanical
refrigerator. This consists of freezing
slow terminating seed in an ice cube
and letting it remain frozen for few
days, then thawing it out and plant
compartments half filled with water
and freeze it. Then fill with water and
freeze the entire cube, this method
being used to get the seed into the
center of the sube. Good results have
been reported in using this method on
iris seeds to get them to terminate
the same season they ripen or to speed
them up if they have been kept over
winter instead of being sown in the
fall

ARSENAL FOR GARDEN DEFENSE
AGAINST INSECTS IS REQUIRED

Protection against insects and dis
eases in the garden should be quick
and timely. Many attacks can be FORE
told, and defense organized in adj
vance. You may expect the same in
sects to prey upon your crops that ap-
peared last year, and should have a
lethal dose waiting for them, instead
of waiting until they have done con-
siderable damage before you fight
back.
A complete arsenal for garden de-
Tense consists of three materials, one
to kill insects that suck plant juices,
one to kill insects that eat plant It's
sues, third to check attacks of fun
gus and other diseases. Another way
to define these munitions of war is as
follows:
Contact poisons, to kill sucking in
sects, such as nicotine sulpfate, pyre-
thrum, and rotenone.
Stomach poisons, to kill leaf eating
insects, such as arsenate of lead CAL
cium arsenate, or rotenone.
Fungicide, such as bordeaux mixture,
busting sulphur, and lime-sulphur for
some uses.
Nicotine and arsenic are poisonous,
but the gardener who exercises reason
able care in their use incurs no dan
ger. Rotenone and pyrethrum are gain
ing wide acceptance for spraying and
busting, because they are not poison
GUS to animals, but are deadly to in
sects. They are offered under various
trade names, both for use in sprays
and dusts. so the gardener may take
his choice in the method Of applica-
ton.
Both methods have their advocates.
On the whole busting takes less time
in preparation and requires less ex-
penSive tools Spraying, on the other
roisons, and is preferred by some in
all cases.
