Dressed In a simple gray suit and

on sports shoes spotless despite the
airport mud that decorated every
one in her reception committee.
She was shown Immediately into

vicissitudes. It is a little black bug
called the "thrip" which not only
vitiates the strength of the plant
but prevents the blooms from com.
ing into flower. A spraying mix
ture of naptholine sweetened with
brown sugar or molasses as bait
Is used.
But" says Miss Affleck, fight
ing thrip and the customary range
of handicaps that have to do with
any kind of planting and harvesting
only make your sense of achieve
ment the greater when you do come
through with banner crop. no
matter whether it is vegetables or
your favorite flower"
From her we learned that best
results with gladioluses, from the
customers point of view, are OBJ
tanned by cutting the spikes the
night before they are to be
marketed. Put in deep containers.
and kept in a cool place, they have
the whole night to drink their fill
of water.
These general directions were
given for the care of gladioli after
they reach the home. Each day
cut a little of the stems OF at a
slant. Then snap of the faded
blooms and change the water.
Gladiolus blooms should never be
exposed to the direct rays of the
sun in home, strong wind, nor
breeze from electric fans. Freshly
cut gladioli should last a week
When only few blossoms are left
on the spikes. an attractive arrange
ment can be made in shallow bowl
AS is the case with all other flowers,
too many gladioli should not be
crowded into a single container.
Flowers, like people. do better with
out too much crowding."

how a fathers hobby can become

AS a little girl she was happiest
when following her father up and

in the rear of their home lr Lyon
Village. Throughout her school
days at Western High and subse-
quently at a washington business
preparatory school. her interest in
this African flower, which has be-

The result was that, with the ap-

to make a business of growing
gladioluses
Today she is achieving this am

that gladiolus bulbs have to be taken
up one by one at the end Of their

Each old CORN has to be pinched
of to let the new one properly
develop, and the bulbs must be
freed from all particles of soil and
stored in trays. These receptacles
must have screened or Slated bot
toms to allow sufficient circulation
of air. The storage temperature
must be around 40 degrees, for If
the bulbs are too hot during their

Repeal, Not Suspend,

Glenn Martin Asks
Manufacturer Declares
Law Hompers Industry
In Its Defense Work
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Aug. l7.-Glenn l.
Martin. pioneer aircraft manufac-
turer, said today the new excess
profits tax bill should be drafted to
repeal, not suspend, the "Vinson-
Trammell Act limiting aircraft
profits
Mr.. Martin declared the aircraft
industry was anxious to do It's part
in national defense, but asserted
that it cannot perform its full
share of national re-armament when
subjected to special restrictions ap-
plicable only to It,"
He made known his views in let
ters to Senator Tydings, Democrat,
Of Maryland; Chairman Walsh of
the Senate Naval Affairs Committee,
and Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee, with
whom he conferred Thursday.
Mr.. Martin said that as long as
the Vinson- Trammell Act remained
on the statute books, the aircraft
industry could not compete with
other ornaments producers in the
materials, sub-contracting and fin
ancial markets.
"As long as mere suspension (of
the act) Is in effect, a sword will
hang over the industry and, when
the excess profits tax is terminated,
automatically descend upon U.s." he
said.
"Under these circumstances our
5OO-odd suppliers and subcontractors
as we'll as the public, will compare
us unfavorably with other industries
not so restricted and be reluctant to
become our regular customers or to
invest capital in our enterprises"
Mr.. Martin suggested that pro
vision should be made to permi.
losses and deficiencies in profit OIL
existing aircraft contracts awarded
under the Vinson- -Trammell Act to
be carried forward into succeeding
years as now permitted under that
act"
He also recommended that "the
specific authorization to negotiate
contracts should, in the interest OF
expediting the national defense pro-
gram, be continued"

It is estimated that the first power
from Grand Coulee dam will be avail
able in the fail of this year, when two
10,000-kilowatt generators will be
hooked up. About four fifths Of tho
dam now is finished. 1t is also estimat-
ed by authorities that if appropriations
are forthcoming, and no Interruptions
occur, the west power house and the
dam for the pumping plant can be
completed by the middle of 1941.
By the time the job is completed,
workers will have received $4,000
900 in wages. To date $116,055, 1000
has been appropriated. A total of $685.
100000 will be needed to keep the
work going through 1910. The job is
officially dated from September D.,
1898, and is, in its seventh year.
Following completion of the dam
will come development of the great
irrigation project over a number of
years. There will be two power plants,
one at each end of the dam. A 12-foot
tunnel through the dam will connect
the power houses. The pumping plant
behind wing dam at the west end
of the dam will be SIS feet long, LII
feet wide and 100 feet high with an
erection bay LOG feet ong, Provision
is made for twelve pumping units, two
of which will be spares. The balancing
reservoir will take over much OF the
floor of the Grand coulee, extending
27 miles and covering 21,o00 acres.
Water will be carried from the balanc-
ing reservoir IL miles southwesterly
through a canal Of 1900 aecond-feet
