Beauty and War

Never has Washingto ton been more
beautiful than during the past few
days, Thousands of visitors and
great numbers of residents of the
District of Columbia and nearby
Maryland and Virginia took full
advantage of the congenial weather
of last week end to view the lowell
ness of fresh green parks and adja-
cent farmland momentarily at their
verdant best. The feathery elms, the
tall and graceful poplars, the sturdy
oaks and the proudly ornamental
NAPLES combined to make every vista
memorably attractive. Each avenue,
each street, each road has been a
magnet to lure the responsive heart
to the serenity of the open country
beyond the ten mile boundaries Of
the Capital.
Interspersed throughout the wooded
areas the dogwood for which the
Federal City long has enjoyed we'll
merited celebrity appears to be more
abundant and more luxuriant than
ever previously in the experience Of
living generations of grateful observ-
ers. Rock Creek Valley especially is
glorious with it. The shores of the
Potomac and the Anacostia Rivers
are spotted with clusters Of both
white and pink brachts as we'll as
with Towering fruit trees, ulacs,

THIS AND THAT
Bv Charles Z. Trnce,reH,

Another small plant which many home
gardeners tend to overlook is the pansy.
Has too much stress been put on the
magnificent gladiolus and iris?
At any, rate, the pansy has not been
used as much as 1t should be, despite
the fact that some of the Government
displays have been very fine.
Few old residents of the Nations
Capital will forget the pansy beds in
the old grounds of the Department OF
Agriculture.
They were thick, massive. large. with
faces" which reminded the imagina-
tive of persons they knew.
The little pansy faces" are no longer
small.
Some of the better strains are really
huge things.
And as for colors. they come all the
way from delightful yellows and fairy
blues to deep dark reds and even blacks.
Experts tell lis that the pansy gen.
orally is mentioned with plants suitable
for partial shade. but 1t also thrives in
other localities. especially where the
sun Is not very hot nor the weather very
dry
Local growers have found that loca-
ton seems to make little difference at
this time of year.
They seem to do we'll almost any,
where, even when the ground becomes
as dry as bone.
1t is from the hot MONDAY sun that
they need protection.
If they can be planted where thick
rose vine, such as the Or. Van Fleet
will give protection, the situation will be
about ideal.
Mulching with humus or peat moss is
a good thing
Attention must be given to keeping
the plants from going to seed.
Either the flowers must be picked
daily. to use in bouquets. or the old
faded blossoms must be taken of every
evening
That is a routine which those wht
specialize in the pansy have found
helpful.
Despite its great popularity. this flower
has not held up in modern times in tn.
esteem of the average home gardener
Go into too many small gardens ane
you will not find one.
Somehow this seems a sad loss, since
1t is a plant which may be put in almost
any place.
While dozen plants would give q
small clump. 1t Is better to use at leas
100 in a given space. This will fill 6
small bed about or 3 feet deep ane
10 or II long.
Plants should be put about 10 inches

Insurance in War

The desirability of giving a tax
exempt status to life insurance premi-
um payments in reasonable amounts
"A question which is being consid-
cred in connection with the pending
revenue BILLS matter of vital
concern to the people of this country.
There are approximately $1,000 900
life insurance policies In effect in the
United States. The face value OF
outstanding policies amounts to about
sl25,000 900 900, and the assets of life
insurance companies at the end of
1941 totaled more than $32, 500 .000,-
600. This is about 10 per cent of the
national wealth, approximately one
fourth of it consisting of Government
bonds. These figures are sufficient
to show the magnitude of the insur-
ance business and its Importance to
the national economy.
Sponsors of the proposal to allow
reasonable credit in tax returns for
premium payments-as is already be-
ing done in the case of such items
as interest payments and charitable
contributions-beli that higher
income taxes in prospect next year,
together with other war-induced
factors tending to dislocate house
hold budgets, constitute a serious
threat to life insurance as a stabiliz-
ing social influence and as a savings
institution. Most people, 1t is pointed
out, buy life insurance to protect
their homes and families. In time
of war, perhaps even more than in
time Of peace, anything which
tended to make it impossible to
maintain that protection certainly
would have most serious adverse
effect, not only upon our economy
but upon the morale of the people as
well. Yet this, in the Judgment of
those who have studied the question,
may be anticipated as probable
consequence of higher income tax
rates, for insurance premiums are in
the nature of fixed charges. They
cannot be compressed in the family
budget as can outlays for clothes,
household equipment and similar
items. The premiums must be paid
or the policies permitted to lapse.
1t is significant that both Great
Britain and Australia have recog-
nized the social value of insurance,
and allow credits or exemptions for
life insurance premiums paid by tax
payers. Canada also has moved in
the same direction, permitting de-
ductions for payments made to PEN
sion or retirement funds.
This is a matter which merits the
earnest consideration of Congress.
and 1t is question which should
receive full attention noW-when the
new tax bill is in process of prepara-
ton. 1t is believed a proper study
would show that the revenue loss, in
event reasonable exemption we're
to be granted would be small. And
it is safe to say that it would be a
very minor matter indeed compared
to the social and economic losses
which would follow any serious i'm
palrment OF the life insurance
structure

Transportation Problem

The growing seriousness Of the
passenger transportation problem in
the country as a whole is emphasized
by developments here in the past few
days.
In one move to deal with a con-
dition that promises to grow more
acute as time goes on. Director
Joseph B. Eastman of the Off1ce OF
Defense Transportation has called on
all Governors and the executives of
communities with population of TO-
600 or more to organize programs
designed to get the last ounce of
service out of available facilities,
both private and public.
President Roosevelt has followed
UP this appeal with one of like tenor
TO State and local officials, while at
the same time asking cooperation
by Federal agencies here in efforts
to insure adequate transportation in
the Metropolitan Area.
The owners of private cars are
being urged to join in pooling ar
rangements to save rubber and gaso-
line, and group riding also is being
recommended for taxi service every
where by Mr.. Eastman. In his COM
munication to the States, the trans
portation director is proposing sys-
tematic staggering of business,
school and working hours in line with
the plan in effect here. and he Is

Cheating Chickens

Professor Einstein, at his nearby
residence in Princeton, may have
glanced with interest at recent dis
patch from New Brunswick telling of
the inauguration of the twenty-six-
hour day for class of $50 Rutgers
College hens. In their blacked out
quarters, each day" they get fourteen
hours of light and twelve of darkness;
if breakfast began at eight yesterday,
today it is ten, tomorrow it will be
noon, and so on. But to these rather
simple minded feathered co-eds of
Rutgers, deprived of clocks, calendars
and all contacts with the outside
world. one day is like another. There
is something rather pathetic in the
thought of bambooZling them into
acceptance of the l82-hour work
week by Juggling the calendar; but
DR.. Thompson, head Of the poultry
department., hopes for twenty per
cent increase in egg laying. If he
gets it, the hens will Just have to
stand their ordeal-eggs are needed
for victory.
OF course, there is a catch in the
proposition. Logic, plus careful
mathematical computation, shows
that in this gyp schedule there are
but forty-eight weeks a year-not so
important If hens lay by the hour,
but sacrificing four weeks annual
production If they lay by the week.
It is up to DR.. Thompson and his
swindled hens to prove his argu-
ment.

apart. Pansy plants spread, In the sum-
mer, and fill up the space.
In the winter it is best to give them
mulch Of well-rotted manure, If pos
sible Lacking that. peat moss or even
humus may be used.
The danger in the winter is thawine
and heaving of the plants. This may
be prevented, to some extent, by press
ing the plants in firmly after each thaw-
ing. 1t is some trouble, but the gardener
will be we'll repaid by the blooms.
Closer paintings, as close as 3 or
inches. often is advocated.
This permits. certainly, the losing OF
many plants, with the remaining plants
still making a well-filled bed
In one bed we know. they have done
equally we'll in heavy clay and in sand.
One end OF the bed is clay. the other
sandy The one end is about as thick
and heavy as soil can be The other is
about the same in both ends.
VioletS and pansies are time -honored,
but the fact is that many home gar
deners tend to overlook them.
Both spread rapidly, and are even re-
garded as weeds by some.
But weed" as every one knows. is
just a plant out of place. We call them
weeds when We do not want them.
Actually, they may be good plants, sturdy
and capable
In fact, veritable weed garden might
be planted with nothing in it but plants
which are regarded as weeds.
few specimens of Queen Annes lace.
as it is called, would grace any garden.
There is one large estate we often walk
by where several specimens of poke
weeds literally poke their way through
the fence.
We often have wondered If they are
there by chance or If they were planted
deliberately. At any rate they make a
brave show, with their red stalks and
purple red berries.
The juice of the berries is red. as
many children have discovered, in the
| making Of red ink" as they call it,
But the Indians found that out long
time ago.
Robins, catbirds, thrashers and other
birds eat the berries. Perching on
fences. they plant the seeds there. and
that is why the poke weed so often
grows along them.
1t is believed by some naturalists that
the stalks and stems are red in order
to attract the attention of the songsters
Another plant which might be used
in our weed garden is the burdock.
1t would make fine display by the
front porch, in place of some of the
many withered and Drowned evergreens
J so often seen.

lation Of local traffic may be a neces-
sary part Of the program.
The principal danger feared by
officials is a large-scale breakdown
that would interfere with the trans
portation of war workers. It is
equally unthinkable that lack Of
transportation should cause disrup-
tion Of other essential activities.
The Office of Defense Transporta-
ton has been studying this problem
for some time, and on the basis of
results obtained in some communi-
ties which have been experimenting
with emergency programs is con-
vinced that intelligent planning and
thoroughgoing cooperation is the
answer. Whether the matter can be
reduced to such simple terms is open
to question, but certainly no effort
should be spared to work out a
solution.

fellows lying helpless" His reference
was to Charlottesville, but, we're he

similar vein of Bataan or Burma or
the Crimea or any other front upon
which men resist aggression The
appreciation of the universe which
is implicit in the democratic philoso-
ply of life is one of the values for
which they struggle. Perhaps some
of them will remember the British
soldier Of the First World War who
wrote under the pseudonym Three
Chevrons." In a passage of unfor-
gettable poignancy, he told of Jour-
neying up to London in the late
afternoon of perfect spring day.
He was on his way to the front in
France, sad with the thought of
parting from those to him most dear.
But the England that he beheld
through the car windows as the train
sped toward the metropolis was so
lovely that his spirits were lifted by
the charm Of it, This" he decided,
'is worth fighting for"

Appeals for Consideration
For Overworked Federal Employees.

For Overworked Federal Employees.
To tn. Editor of The Star:
Several centuries ago Shakespeare
wrote in one of his plays: Don't muzzle
the OK that treads the corn" which,
translated into modern language. means,
Don't handicap the one who does the
work and carries the load"
Shakespeare was smart enough to see
the wisdom of this logic, because. as We
all know. If you cucumber the one who
carries the burden he cannot eficiently
perform his work.
Now, that is just exactly what is being
done today to the Government clerk by
increasing the hours of labor. 1t has
been proved that an employe. and espe-
cially one doing clerical work, gets no
more work done when working long
hours than he does when working the
usual shorter hours, but that he just
takes longer to do it. With shorter
hours he works more rapidly and more
ef1iciently, because his brain is alert, his
spirits high, his morale good. and the
work is pleasure and interest to him;
but when the hours are increased, in
stead of the work being a happiness. it
becomes burden and a drudgery; his
brain is tired. his morale low and his
hands lag. The employe is unhappy
with the extra burden imposed on him,
and In this frame of mind actually does
not accomplish as much work as pre-
viously.
The morale of the Government en-
ploye is an important factor, as ne has
necessary work to perform for defense,
and is just as essential as the morale of
the soldier and sailor. What is being
done to sustain the morale of the Gov
eminent clerk on a high level? One
would almost think the object was to
punish the poor Government clerk as
much as he can take, as every few days
new privations new taxes new sacrifices,
new burdens are announced for him.
No one who already Is doing his utmost
really enjoys new sacrifices Sacrifice is
a quality that goes with poverty The
clerk is working faithfully and Loyalty for
MS country ana cannot see why ne
should be punished. Why not little
more fair play for the forgotten Gov
ernment clerk?
During the last war things were man
aged differently The Government en-
ploye was treated Loyalty. He had many
advantages in the way of good pay and
short hours. and this made the war
popular with him. If we must have
longer hours, why not several shifts. as
there are so many expectant appointees
on the civil service registers, I am told,
willing and anxious to start to work for
Uncle Sam and many of them say they
have been waiting months for an ap-
pointment?
Long hours produce tired clerks and
tired clerks are not as efficient as ones
not tired. Where is the executive who
really wants tired secretary? Let us
go back to the seven hour day and make
the war popular with everybody.
