Despite threats being made with regard to the direct

many Of the obiectivists and
friends and fair minded black and
white Americans are pointing to
the progress the Negro has made
under the stars and stripes, or
USA, in the past 10 years.
Latest to call attention to this
is Westbrook Pegler, blasting
columnist of the Scripps-Ho
papers.
Like DR., Embres, he, Pegler
finds that in Germany the Nazis,
or Hitler, would "dehumani2e the
Jew and deprive him of human
rights" while in America the Con
stitution and Americans "reeog
ni2e him tthe Negro as human
being and citizens" Time maya

| read in Alabama dailits, for
instances the first reactions to the
filing of an application by Atty.
Arthur ID. Shores, Bnmlngt am

Comments say that white SUI
premaey rule would prevent Mr..
Shores from running on the De-
moeratic ticket and that if move
is made to invalidate the white
supremacy rule should succeed
before the L, S. Supreme Court,
unofficial primaries would be held
In his report to the nation,
President Roosevelt again stuck
against divisiye racial discrimina-
tons. He SAID that we must have
"a national unity that can know
no limitations Of race or creed or
selfish politics. 'The President
said that this is "a new kind Of
war" and that we must keep on

Tulips Replaced
Bv an Unusual
Asiatic Plant
Has Narr0v Leaves
And Blossoms of
Blue or Violet

A spring blooming bulb to replace
tulips and other bulbs whose supply
has been diminished by the war is
Ixiolirion. This plant, which grows
wild through Central Asia, has been
under cultivation here for long
time and is now being offered to the
American trade as the species Ixio-
nrion montanum.
It belongs to the Amaryllis family.
and while not extremely snowy, is
unusual and quite pretty with its
narrow leaves and unbels of blue or
violet flowers on stems about q foot
long. 1t blooms in this section late
in May and is well adapted for
cutting. ..
This Asiatic plant seems to be
perfectly hardy and fairly perma-
nent when planted In a well-drained
soil that is not too heavy and slight
ly mulched over the winter. The
bulbs now being offered come from
Canada and the Northwest.
Like other bulbs planted at this
time of the year, Ixiolirion should
be planted early 50 it can become
well rooted before freezing weather.

seems desirable since such use soon
brings disagreeable odors and it
certainly makes 1t difficult to keep
the area neat and clean. Burning

pleasures of an out-of-doors picnic.

upon a substantial foundation and
lined with fire brick to prevent
cracking due to the heat. These
two fundamentals are important
for their preservation.

and most libraries have one or more
books and pamphlets devoted to the
subject.

over winter unless one has a green
house, but they are well worth re-
placing each year.
We will plant each Of the lilies In
a box similar to the one used for
the lotus. We have been assured
that ordinary pine boxes have lasted
for 10 years and looked to be good
for many more. Since lilies are
gross feeders we must give them
very rich sofia mixture Of rich.
loose soil and well-rotted COW
manure. Each year an additional
dressing of fertilizer must be given.
At least every third year the, lilies
should be repotted. A 2-inch layer
Of sand over the soil after the lilies
are planted will help to keep the
water clean.
For marginal paintings we have
many things to choose from. For
low, creeping plants you might use
the water or-get-me-not (Myosotis
scorpioides); marsh marigold (Cal-
tha palustriS; Florida swamp lily
(Crinum americanum): rock cress
(Arabis), Phlox subulate, Anchusa
myosotidinoria (resembles the for
get-me-not). and umbrella palm
(tender). For tall-growing plants
we suggest the cat-tail, Towering
rush, water iris. Siberian iris, pick
erel rush, taro and arrowhead.
What about the mosquitoes? The
ordinary gold fish will solve the
problem. Buy a couple of pairs.
They will multiply fast. If you de-
sire to add still more interest there
are endless varieties of tropical fish
from which you may choose.
Do not fail to plant some OF the
true aquatics Chose which grow en-
tirely submerge6 for they are nec-
essary for proper oxygenating the
water. Eel-grass (Vallisneria), wat
erweed tElodea), Caboma, mares tai
or hornwort (Ceratophyllum) are
parrots feather myriophyllum) are
hardy and of easy culture. Plant
them in small pots or boxes the
same as the lilies.
No list of water lilies is suggested
here. Any reliable grower will fur
nish a catalogue from which may
be chosen the colors and kinds pre-
ferred.
