today nothing better has ever
been devised for the purpose.
The garden blends with the
distance, and animals may roam
right up to the garden without
encroaching on it. We have seen
one at "Stratford" the Lee home
in Virginia and also one at Mt.
Vernon, it is pity we do not
use them more here in Montgom-
cry County.
Here it is the middle of Sep
tember--most of the summer birds
have left, and we never told you
what lovely bird neighbors we
had this year. Our oriole couple
were here until last week, and
just outside the window where
our typewriter stands was a most
interesting grosbeak family.
James Russell Lowell speaks of
the oriole as "My glance of sum-
mer fire" and we have enjoyed
ours for five years-a constant
bather, we see and hear much of
it, as it fits from tree to bath.
There is popular tradition
about the naming of this gor-
geous bird: when the first Lord
Baltimore-worn out and dlscour-
aged by the hardships of his New
foundland colony, decided to visit
Virginia in 1923, he wrote that
nothing so impressed him in the
Chesapeake country as the myriads
of birds in its woods-the song
and color of the oriole particu-
larly cheered and delighted him

that cause trench mouth and Win
cents angina is that they may live
and thrive in the absence of oxy-
gen. They enter the mouth and
become fixed between the teeth,
under the gum margin and beneath
the margins Of filings and crowns.
They grow in and about decayed
teeth. They are more likely to be
active and cause the disease to de-
velop in mouths that are not kept
clean and not well cared for than
in clean, healthy mouths.
"The infection may be picked up
through the use of common drink
ing cups, dishes or cooking uten-
sils that have not been thoroughly
cleaned, through drinking from
unsanitary fountains and in othel
ways. 1t can be spread to others,
just as colds are, through coughing
and sneezing. The disease is
highly contagious and spreads very
easily from person to person. 1t is
characterized by bleeding and sore
gums, and finally by ulcers in the
soft tissues. In acute form the
disease causes great discomfort. In
extreme cases the infection may
spread through the entire system
with serious results.
"Of course, not all bleeding or
sore gums or bad breath are due to
trench mouth. But it the first in
dication of such symptoms = no
matter what the cause - a doctor
or dentist should be consulted
promptly and his advice and ir-
structions should be followed with
utmost care. Those who develop
the disease must also take every
precaution to keep from passing
the infection to Others"

a discussioneven Mr.. Haskins
in his popular column has had
the question asked him-we have
found no explanation so good as
this one which we got from a
clipping, the source of which we
do not know.
"Coldly defined, this is a dry
retaining wall built on the near
side of dry ditch, so that it
is only visible from the outside.
1t is invaluable in the country
where garden, lawn and distant
meadows are best seen in an I'M
broken line, and yet there are
sheep and cattle to be kept from
the property"
1t was thought out by a land
scape architect Of the zoos, who
edged his ditch with brick, and
invited his friends to come look
and there were flowers and lawn,
undisturbed by the cattle grazing

signer, they all laughed: "Ha-ha",

Macaroni Standards

Since the public has become so
vitamin-conscious, we have had
vitamins added to our white
bread and cereals. Now, we're to
eat vitamins along with our mac
aroni and spaghetti. At least,
evidence is to be considered on
this point at a hearing to be held
on October 6 at 10 a. m. by

ton.
The purpose of this hearing.
which is to be held in room 1889,

basis on which regulations may be
promulgated establishing defini-
lions and standards of identity
for the following foods: Macaroni,
spaghetti, vermicelli, macaroni
products, noodles, egg noodles,
noodle products, egg noodle pro-
ducts, egg macaroni products.
Since evidence may be present
ed in person, by representative, or
by affidavit, the Best Buyers Club
of Greenbelt might take note. At
fidavits will be received up to the

are all more or less confronted

namely that of "what to do about
those floors!p Here's Mrs. Emma
Volk's brainchild:
To prepare for waxing, wash
thoroughly with luke warm water,
to which ammonia and small
amount of soap has been added.
The ammonia cuts the old wax,
and the soap takes care of the
dirt. Mrs. Volk further recon-
mends wax sold at the Grocery
Store-"All-Nu" wax, which was
also given a note of approval by
Consumers Union.

Food, Oil Likely to be Chief
Factor in War BabsOn Asserts

Babson Park, Mass, Apr. $50
many columnists are commenting
upon or interpreting the war news,
that 1t i'll behooves me to butt
in. ], however, do wish to again
remind readers that food and oil
may be the deciding factors
especially oil. Germany really went
to war to secure independent oil
supplies for herself. II she succeeds
in doing so, she will have won and
be willing to quit. II she does not
succeed. in time, she will be licked.
II makes no difference how many
thousands OF planes, tanks, and
submarines Germany has unless
she has the oil needed to operate
them efficiently.
Germany Has Won Little Yet
The unthinking public believe
that-thus far-Germany has won
great victories. They point to the
conquest OF Czechoslovakia. Po-
land, France, Belgium, Holland,
Norway. Bulgaria, and Rumania,
With the exception OF the last,
none of these are oil producing
countries. Therefore. they really
are a drag upon Germany's oil
supply. In fact. Germany is prac-
tically cut off today from oil ex-
cept from Russia and Rumania.
Italy, Spain, and other European
countries are helpless to supply
Germany with oil.
Italy has not been defeated in
battle either on land or sea. She
has lost only about Is per cent of
her navy. tanks, and planes. The
reason Italy is doing so little is
because Of her lack OF oil. The
control" OF the Mediterranean
means the control Of the Axis oil
supply. So long as Great Britain
and her few Allies can shut off
Germany's oil supply, Germany is
headed for defeat. Considering the
oil Germanyfnow has on hand and
is getting from abroad, she will
be in very serious position dur
ing 1912 unless she breaks through
to Persia and the oil fields OF the
Near East. This is stated not
withstanding the synthetic oils
Germany is making from various
coal products.
Watch Russia and Japan
Just now Russia is the uncertain
quantity. Russia has a fair oil
production and has been sending
some oil TO Germany: but Germany
has not been getting as much oil
as she needs. Russia. moreover, Is
IN fix. She does not want Ger
many or England TO win the war.
but Russia knows that IL she shuts
Germany off OF oil altogether. then
Germany would turn her great war
machine on Russia and probab-
ly make Russia give her oil.
The trouble in the Pacific is also
struggle for oil. So far as land
Is concerned. Japan has already
conquered far more than she can
use or digest. II is the oil Of Bor-
neo and HSumatra which Japan
really wants. Germany has prom
ised to divide this with Japan II
Germany wins the war. It is oil
