Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Group Meetings and Local
Exhibitions
By Edmond Henderer.

Back In March we wrote about
Roy A. Wiseman and his connection
with the Friendship Fire Associa-
ton. the local amateur f1re-fghting
enthusiast group. Since Mr.. Wise
man is secretary of that organiza-
ton the story was at least as much
the history of the FLA as of the sec
retary. Now we would like to tell
a little about another of Mr.. Wise
mans hobby interests.
Mr.. Wiseman has reversed the
usual order of things in that he now
follows as a hobby line which once
was his business. Most people con-
vert their avocations into vocations.
This interest is music. Mr.. Wise
man was formerly connected with
the business side of the National
Symphony Orchestra. He chose that
line of work because of his love for
music. His connection with the or
chestra gave him ample opportunity
to hear good music and to know the
musicians. Now that he is working
In a different field he still follows
music, but as an amateur.
Much of Mr.. Wiseman's spare
time is devoted to his activities in
the FLA and most of the remainder
goes to music. He has an extremely
fine library Of recordings. The best
Of the commercially produced discs
are there, supplemented by some
according to his own ideas.
Being thoroughly familiar with
the commercial technique of produc-
ing records, Mr.. Wiseman has one
mai nobjection to certai rones. Re-
cordings of operatic pieces are made
In the studies Of the recording COM
panies just as with other music. All
extraneous sounds are carefully
eliminated. Nothing but the music
goes on the disc.
If you attend performance Of an
opera, or even listen to it on the
radio, you hear definite pattern of
background sounds in many cases.
These are caused by the action ac-
companying the music and are Ger
tainly part of the opera. OF course,
If your only interest is the particu-
lar aria being sung, as a separate
composition having no connection
with the opera, then the absence of
attending noise is desirable, but If,
as in Mr. Wiseman's case, you are
familiar with the story being por-
trayed and want to visualize the
action as you listen, then the lack
of these sounds spoils the illusion.
He mentioned this point to the
officials of a recording agency, but
they wouldn't agree with him as to
the desirability of recording all these

Leaves From
The Garden
Notebook

The cool weather and rains of last
weekend gave most flower and
vegetable gardens a big boost. While
the roses are still backward in most
gardens, the iris and other peren-
mails made excellent progress. Sew
eral flower shows held during the
past week were well attended, indi-
eating that interest in gardening is
being we'll maintained.
X X X
Reports show that the bean beetle
and the potato bug are beginning to
appear and that Victory gardeners
should keep sharp watch for these
pests. Any stomach poison put on
the foliage will kill the potato bug,
but the foliage of the bean plant is
too tender for lead arsenate. Use
either calcium arsenate or rotenone
on the beans.
1t is not too early to begin shift
ing the house plants to some pro-
tected situation out of doors. This
move should be fairly gradual if
the plants are not to receive set
back. They are quite tender from
being indoors and they are not used
to direct sunlight. This transition
should be gradual. They may be
left in their pots until fall or re-
moved from the pots and planted
in the soil. If they are left in the
pots it is desirable to bury the pot
in the soil to keep it from drying out.
1t is high time that the home
gardener began giving his early
spring Towering shrubs their an
nual pruning. This should be done
as soon as the Towering season is
over. Remove from one-fourth to
one-third of the oldest canes each
year, cutting them off at the sur
face of the ground. This tends to
maintain the graceful habit of
growth and prevents their becoming
woody and barelegged. Diseases
tend to develop on the older wood
and this annual pruning helps to
avoid this condition as well as to
maintain desirable balance be-
tween the top and the root system.
X X X X
1t is time to SOW the seed of
celery. A well-prepared seed fiat is
easiest to handle although a bed
may be prepared in the cold frame.
The soil should be well prepared,
but it need not be rich with plant
food. Sow the seed as thinly as
possible and cover with sand or
well-pulverized compost. The cover
ing layer of soil should not be more
than one-eighth inch thick. Cover
with newspaper or burlap to pre-
vent the soil from drying out. AS
soon as the seedlings begin to push
through the soil, remove the paper
or burlap. When the seedlings have
their first or second pair of true
leaves they should be transplanted
into fiat or bed where a good root
system may be formed before plant
ing in the garden.

News From Dogdom
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest
in Washington and Vicinity
By X. X. Taynfon.

The War Dog Fund, $50 Park
avenue, New York, announces that
the New Jersey Beagle Club has
100 per cent enlistment in the stay
at-home ranks of the K-9 Corps.
Every one of its members has one
or more dogs enrolled in ranks, from
private, at 81, to general, at s1OO.
The money paid for enlistments is
used to support Dogs for Defense,
which procures all dogs for the
fighting K-9 Corps.
Registrations in both the Field
Dog Stud Book and the American
Kennel Club Stud Book are begin
ming to show the reflection of these
troubled times. Both are down
somewhat from the all-time high
marks established last year. These
are the days which will determine
who the serious breeders are. Those
who entered the sport at the height
of its fashion and the peak OF its
prosperity will doubtlessly drop out
when the going gets tough. The
real breeders will fight it through,
and because of their efforts, the
purebred dog of the future will be
many stages ahead Of his progeni-
tor OF 1943.
The essence of an article on the
"Care and Feeding of Dogs in War
time," by Drs. H. E. Robinson and
L. D. Frederick in the June issue
Of Veterinary Medicine, is that the
present formulae used in dry dog
foods of better grades are totally
adequate for grown dogs when fed
in sufficient quantities. However,
for pregnant bitches, nursing bitches
and growing puppies, such foods are
inadequate and need to be supple
mented with meat and vitamin con-
centrates. It Is found that larger
quantities Of dog foods as now man
ufactured are needed for adequate
nutrition of even grown dogs. since
the lower protein content does not
satisfy the dogs hunger as well as
a feed with higher protein content.
The net result Is that there Is no
saving either In cash or proteins,
although more feed may be manu-
factured.

as best they can, always hoping that

thoroughly enough to get results.
Since hoeing will be the main line
Of attack it is well to point out that
the best and most effective time to
control weeds is while they are still
too small to be noticed. Frequent
cultivation before the weeds have
developed a root system and made
their appearance above ground re-
quires the least effort and time.
Once weeds have developed a root
system it takes more effort and q
sharp hoe. Stirring the ground
turns up the tender white roots of
freshly terminated seeds-and puts
an end to their growth. A rake
should do this job more quickly
than q hoe. Most gardeners will

though the most work has been
directed towards the control of dan
delions and crabgrass. However, it
Is not easy to find a chemical that
will kill only the weeds and not
the desirable garden flowers and
vegetables. There are several chem
icals on the market that may be
sprayed on the lawn killing the crab
grass and the dandelions without
permanent injury to the bluegrass.
None have been recommended for
use in the flower border or in the
vegetable garden.

sounds, so his only recourse has been
to make some of his own recordings
of the broadcasts of favorite operas
by the Metropolitan.
Through the courtesy of friends,
Mr.. Wiseman has been able to make
some of these records on equipment
capable of making recordings of
technical excellence. These add
considerable interest and originality
to his collection.
Besides his library of recordings,
Mr.. Wiseman has examples Of early
types of musical reproducers. He
has an old phonograph which util-
ICES wax cylinders and a still older
music box. 1t is quite interesting to
compare these with modern music
reproducing devices.
New officers for the Metropolitan
Society of Model Engineers were
elected at the May business meeting
They are: President, Emil Press;
vice president, Chester E. Tyne; sec
retary-treasurer, Edmond Henderer;
corresponding secretary. Dan H
Wade. Two additional members
elected to the board are Ralph Boyd
and r. D. McElroy.
These officers will take over their
duties in June.
This is the time of the year when
folks with outdoor pools begin to
give some thought to the inhabitants
OF their ponds. If you have goldfish
IN a deep pool they have probably
spent the winter there. If your pool
is not deep enough to protect the
fish through the winter, goldfish
may, in fact, should, be put out now.
Mosquitoes have already started to
breed and a pool without fish is
heaven for them.
Before you put anything in the
pool 1t might be we'll to examine it to
be sure it is in good condition.
Sometimes ice will crack a concrete
pool, causing a slow leak.
AS to the type of fish used, plain,
old-fashioned goldfish will serve as
mosquito destroyers just as well as
anything and they cost little. If a
cat or frog eats a couple, you'll
not be out much. The goldfish
grows large enough to easily be seen
in pool, another advantage.
If you favor so-called tropical or
"exotic" fish, it's still too early to
put them in a pond in this vicinity.
One cold night might easily destroy
several dollars worth of fish. More
suggestions on the use aof exotics
will be given here shortly.
