YOUTH TRAINING

YOUTH TRAINING
With the CONSUMPTION bill under
going heavy attack on Capitol Hill,
the President himself is under fire
on another phase Of national de-
tense.
In this case the criticism comes
from his own advisers, who demand
that he act. They want him to put
through the non-combative phase of
defense which he outlined last May.
The program, as described by
Roosevelt himself, consists Of two
parts, one devoted to training
mechanics, cooks, and other non
combative craftsmen; the second to
training fighting men for planes,
tanks and guns.
To date all efforts have been con-
centrated on the second part of the
program. Nothing tangible has yet
been done about the first, the nom
combative part.
The u. S. office Of education, CCC
and National Youth administration
have prepared complete blueprints
for training hundreds Of thousands
OF youths in the many crafts needed
by modern army. The three agen-
cies are ready to swing into action
at once on these programs.
All they need is the money. But
although members Of congress re-
peatedly have urged Roosevelt to
get busy, nothing has happened. In
conferences he has readily agreed to
the necessity for this training, but
beyond that-zero.
Insiders blame the deadlock on
two men, Harold D. Smith, penny
pinching budget director, and Sid
ney Hillman, labor member of the
national defense commission.
Roosevelt instructed Smith to pre-
pare budget estimates and Hillman
to submit plans. But neither las
complied. Smith, whose functions
are wholly administrative, has
raised policy objections that are none
OF his affair; while Hillman, timid
about possible A. F. of L. and c. I.
Q. protests, has backed and filled.
Congressional leaders, under fire
over the CONSUMPTION bill, are sore
at the delay on the non-combative
training plan. They feel that If it
had been submitted simultaneously
1T would have considerably eased
the way for the military program.
Note-CCC, NYA, and Education
office chiefs estimate the cost of
the non-combative program at
around 100000, 900. This would
train 250,000 youths in the CCC, 300,-
600 in the NYA, and 225, 900 in voca-
tional schools supervised by the Of
fee of education, during an entire

to orderly appearance and stable
values" is the ultimate object of the
plan for an architectural board.
AS a corollary to the recommended
ton for an architectural board the
Committee of One Hundred recon-
mends that teeth be put in the archi-
tects registration law.
Only small percentage of design
ing in Washington is done by quail
fled, registered architects. 1t was
largely because of this that the old
Architectural Advisory Council broke
down. The architects composing it
felt it was unfair for unframed
designers to profit at their expense,
turning out good plans because of
their suggestions.
Other Standards Kept High.
1--WE have fixed high standards in
medicine and law and require that
these standards be met by practi-
TONERS in their professions. Why
not architects?" Mr.. Peaslee said.
That the public, and particularly
real estate men, are evincing inter-
est in the plans for such services is
shown by a recent statement of Her.
bert Nelson, executive vice president
of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards.
The chaotic appearance of our
American cities is not due to bad
architecture so much as it is due
to too great a variety of it and lack
of any architectural control for
neighborhoods and cities. Perhaps
the architects would join in an
effort to obtain real architectural
control established in every COM
munity. It seems to me just as i'm
portant as zoning," Mr.. Nelson said.
That the proponents of the plan
for such a board in Washington
carry weight is shown by the record
of the Committee of One Hundred
and its brain child, the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, with Frederic A. Delano
serving as chairman of both.
The committee and the planning
commission feel that q far more at
tractive, ivable and valuable city

Rock Gardens Grow
Popular in Taking
Care Of Slopes
Mony Ideal Pieces for
Development Found
In and keur Capitol
BY W. n. YOUNGMAN.

The development Of subdivisions In
the rolling and wooded areas about
Washington should create much In
terest in rock gardens. This Is only
natural, since 1t Is often . dincult
and laborious task to maintain good
turf ON slopes and banks. The same
bank carefully handled may easily
be developed into an attractive and
pleasure-giving garden - q garden
full Of interesting and satisfying
flowers from the time the first cro-
Gus blossoms appear in early spring
until freezing weather cuts down the
dwarf blooming asters.
The use of rock gardens and dry
rock walls to take care Of slopes Is
not q new idea, but as we have
gained experience In construction
and care their use has been greatly
expanded. For q time gardeners
were building them on level ground,
places in which they were obviously
artificial and in which but few plants
could thrive. But on the slopes that
are to be found in many Of the sub
divisions tn and around Washington
there are many ideal places for the
development Of rock gardens, and 1t
is reasonable to anticipate garden
minded home owners viii not over
look this opportunity.
Soil Preparation First Task.
Much of the enjoyment that is de-
rived from any type Of garden de-
pends upon the health and bloom
ing of the flowers and shrubs. Rock
gardens are not an exception to this
rule and their success depends upon
the care and thoroughness of the
construction. Soil preparation is of
course the first consideration. It

him about some gambling debts.
I don't know how true that is"
The police officer scratched hts
head and looked puzzled. IF you
mean Mardell owed Sayler some
money from gambling. it would
hardly seem that he'd invite the
man over for dinner to collect it."
Dale smiled. Lou didn't know
my stepfather very well. That
would be precisely what he would
do. His method of operating was
mysterious-and usually cruel"
OLeary looked up quizzically.
"You know his cruelty, then?"
The smile vanished from Dale's
lips. eyes," he said abruptly
"But I don't think that has any
thing at all to do with the case.
I'd rather not speak of it."
For a moment, it seemed as If
OLeary intended to press the point.
Instead, he asked, "And how about
Hazel Leighton?"
"My stepfather had his senti-
mental side, too. He had been
going out with Miss Leighton for
the past year OF SO. My mother
died three years ago, you see, and
Sayler had several other heart
interests after that. His friend
ship for Miss Leighton lasted
longer than any of the others
O'Leary picked up small sheaf
of papers from among the few
he had spread before him on the
desk. II think I'd like to talk
to the young lady. Maybe she'll
know something about this"
Dale was curious. "Do you
mind telling me what it is?"
II found it in Sayler's top desk
drawer" Lieutenant OLeary ex-
planned. HE evidently wanted 1t
handy for the young lady when
she came in to see him. This is

OLeary got up and came to the
window. whats the matter?"
Look, this window is Unattached.
That's queer. Sayler never permit
ted that He insisted the windows
be kept locked"
Maybe the housekeeper opened
it."
She wouldn't dare. My STEP
father was very particular on that
point. I think sometimes he was
afraid"
OLeary made a brief round
of the room. "The others are
locked" he said. Tell me, when
you were all standing in the room,
did anyone go near the windows?"
Dale frowned. why, yes, now
that you speak of it-George Bar
bour did. He was just looking out.
There would certainly have been
no point in his unlocking the win
dow"
Maybe not OLeary agreed.
Anyway, it's interesting"
Dale studied the latch on the
French windows. "Of course, if
the window had been unlocked,
it might have been possible for
someone to jimmy it from the
outside and then close it again"
OLeary went back to the desk.
"It's possible. Anyway, We'll find
out soon. The boys are going over
the outside now for footprints and
they can take look at the win
dows in a little while"
Dale rested on the arm of the
divan before the fireplace. IF the
shot wasn't fired through the win
dow, it stands to reason it must
have been fired from somewhere
inside the house and that's alb
surd."
OLeary nodded. st hope we
don't need to reach that conclu-
sion. It's not pleasant"
Nor is it possible-except, per-
haps, for the servants"
OLeary leaned back and tossed
one knee over the other. That's
another thing wanted to make
sure about. During the 20 min
utes, between the time Sayler left
the drawing room and when Miss
Leighton found his body, did any
of you leave the other room?"
mo one, tell you, Lieutenant,
the idea of anyone within the
house having murdered my step
father is ridiculous. 1t just
couldn't be DONE"
WAS anyone in the drawing
room in such a position that he
could see the entrance to the
study?"
Dale reflected. IT couldn't say
for certain. Rhoda might have
yes, of course. When Miss Leigh
ton screamed, Rhoda saw her. She
was looking in that direction, and
she must have seen her"
"Then if Miss Waters had seen
anyone entering the room before
Miss Leighton went to it, she
would have mentioned the fact?"
II would most certainly think
so. 1t would have been unusual
at that time"
who's Mardell?" OLeary sud-
denly blurted out. The change Of
subject startled Dale.

stood he had something to do with

What was he doing here to-
