Prune Those
Hedqes Wisely

If THE lower branches on
your hedges are dying, look 10
your pruning methods. Any sort
of hedge. if il is to be kept
pruned. should be cut in such
a way that the bottom is wider
than the top. In this way, all
the leaves get chance at light
and air. All too often, hedges
are pruned in just the opposite
manner--wide at the top. mar
rover at the bottom. and the
natural result is a loss OF lower
branches until the hedge be-
comes unsightly and ''leggy."

WASHINGTON, Jan. l8.-Quietly and inconspicuously, this center Of allied war secrets has become one of the most carefully guarded capi- tals of the world.
 The visitor who gets a casual glance from the civilian and mili- tary police standing about the en- frances to public buildings doesn't know the half of it. Try to get in sometime, and watch the fun.
 An inventory of the average Washington newspapermans pock- cts these days tells the story: Washington is open for business only. His credentials range from the more-or-les informal Congress sionaJ gallery card to the hardwon pass to the White House. Between is a battery of gaudy buttons that, from distance, look like the Chicken Inspector" badges the sports in front of the cigar store used to wear
