of the root system Is regenerated
every spring. Consequently by al
lowing growth before cutting, the
roots have more time to develop.
In the case of a new lawn no
cutting is necessary until the
grass is about two inches high.
Then use a sharp lawn mower
with the blades set one and one
half inches from the ground. This
will top" the new lawn, and this
type OF cutting should be repeat
ed q week later throughout the
growing season.
The results Of proper cutting,
are shown in the accompanying
Garden-Graph. One illustration
shows that when properly cut at
regular periods grass forms a
thick. fine-bladed turf.
The second Illustration shows
the result Of permitting the grass
to grow tall before cutting. The
blades Of grass become coarse
and the grass does not throw out
side shoots and thicken into turf.

Too Much Red Tape

A certain amount of information is
necessary to determine eligibility for
jobs. Certain questions must be an
swered and in any number Of cases
documentary evidence produced by the
applicant.
But it is hard to see why any person
applying to the United States Employ
ment Service should have to be referred
to twenty-five different persons before
a question is satisfactorily answered
and the applicant may know whether
he, or she, gets the job.
That is to say, it would be hard if it
were not the custom of the government
to wind so much red tape around every
transaction that nobody can cut through
it. This is particularly the bureaucratic
system.
Harold M. Hinkle, manager of the
Wilmington USES office, in an inter-
view in yesterdays Star, explains how
it comes that idle persons seeking work
have to spend so many hours in lire.
Sometimes the fault lies with the APP
plicant. Many visitors seem to think
they can rush in and rush out with
directions how to reach the place of
employment.
This attitude is unreasonable in any
circumstances. Interviews with prospec-
tive employees, whether by the employer
direct or through an employing agency,
are essential. But no institution of les
ser order than a government agency
could give birth to program in the
operation of which an applicant would
have to be shunted along to twenty
five interrogaters.
Mr.. Hinkle has nothing to do with
making the rules. 1t is not his to reason
why. But any one who passes the USES
office in the morning before opening
time and observes the long queues of
applicants already lined up on the side
walk, and considers that similar or
worse situation exists wherever USES
office exists, cannot fail to realize that
no clumsier method of placing men and
women in jobs could be devised, even
in Washington.

Firm With Russia

The United States, pursuing it's new
policy of firmness with Russia, has
asked Moscow why Russian troops have
not been withdrawn from Iran.
The answer is obvious. Russia has
said it could not be done because Iran
ian troops had not arrived to take over.
The answer is as foolish as obvious
because it was Russian troops that pre-
vented the arrival of the Iranians in
the troubled region.
It will be interesting to learn how
Moscow replies to Secretary of State
Byrnes' request for an explanation. In
asmuch as the British Russian-Iranian
treaty plainly stated that all British
and Russian troops should be out of
the country six months after the war,
and later agreement at Teheran pledg-
ed the n-British-Russian gov
ernments to maintain the "indepen-
dence, sovereignty and territorial in
tegrity of Iran,' Moscow, with all it's
craft, will be hard pressed to offer a
reasonable excuse for it's failure to be
gone within the time set.
But it is not Russia's answer alone
in which interest centers. What is the
United States prepared to do if Mos
COW fails to give satisfactory answer
20 to war with Russia? Certainly not
that. Such war would be disastrous
to both nations. But it assuredly ought
to stlffen the backs of United States
representative on the United Nations
Security Council, when that group Is
next in session.

Housing For Veterans

Rejection in the House of Represent
atives of a proposal to subsidize manu-
facturers of scarce building materials
as means of stimulating the construc-
ton of homes would be welcome If it
did not cross a program designed to
provide housing for veterans. The ma
ton has definite obligations to the men
who fought it's battles, and homes, es-
pecially for those among them who have
married, is among the greatest.
While the whole subsidy proposition
is wrong, in that it takes money from
one pocket to put it in another without
adequate return, it seems the House
could have made an exception in this
particular case without setting prece-
dent affecting other emergencies in
the national economy.
Let there be no more blowing under
every other row Of cotton with the
planters losses offset by government
money which comes from the taxpayers,
no more race suicide among hogs, or
any of the other folies perpetrated in
the past. But let there be something
constructive done about housing vet
Grams, and along with them for the
large section of the civilian population
which has existed In unsatisfactory
quarters since the start of the war.

And I've always believed the light
is actually there.
Just a day or so ago was talk
ing with a friend, Of a somewhat
scientific nature, from over in Co.
lumbus who assured me the light
was, or is, merely an optical illus
sion. I do not believe this. I'm
sure there is actually light.
Scientists say that the appear
ance of such lights are not uncom-
mon. For instance, if you're riding
in plane at night you can almost
always see light on the tip of the
wings. There is no explanation for
this because there is actually no
light turned on. But it is there, new
ertheless. Oldtime sailors always
could see a light at the end of a
yardarm, even when there were no
electric lights. I believe those
lights were there.
Modern mothers, I know, have
tabooed spooks as means of quiet
ing their reca1citrant youngsters.
But I was brought up on spooks
and boogabears and even to this
day I never walk along a dark
street or alley without the feeling
that the pitch black is teeming with
millions of spirits or something OF
the kind. I so firmly believe they
are there do not have to see them
to know they're there.
I'm also getting around strongly
to the feeling rapidly becoming
a belief - that one of the most
sciences, call it pseudo
if you will, has to do with the
occult. This is not an original
thought. More and more books are
coming out everyday dealing with
the subject.
In the years to come I have the
belief that more and more serious

thought will be given to the prob
lem of what makes us human tick.
Naturally, I know the psychiat-
rists and psycho-analysts are do
ing such job even today. But this
sort of thing is hardly out Of the
fad stage yet, mainly because a
psychoanalysis is too expensive for
the average citizen.
Yet, with the war the government
realized the value of psycho-ana-
lysis in the treatment Of men who
were hurt, not so much physically
as mentally. There will be, I be.
lieve, much more emphasis placed
on this type of "doctoring" in the
years to come. It will become so
commonplace that you'll have your
peculiar notions observed as off
handedly as today you have the
doctor look into sorish throat.
And all this present day soothing
at the attention given to why hu-
mans tick will end and We'll all
come to realize it's just as neces-
sary to fathom scientifically why
of us that is-are so
downright onery as it is to diagnose

Ever since once innocently cali
ed an artisan magician a fakir
have been leary OF delving into the
realm of the occult. People inter.
ested in the occult are usually very
sensitive and when you write
something about them they are
prone to take just the opposite
view of the one you wish them to
take.
The incident mentioned above
had to do with an automobile ride.
The driver Of the car was snugly
and thoroughly blindfolded before
ne climoed under the wheel ard
thea he proceeded to drive three
Il US trusting souls at a fairly
break-neck speed through the
crowded sheets of Du liam. And If
you've been there mrcn you'll
probably agree with me that ::riv-
ing in Duaam's streets is a mat
ter you should 60 i1.o with both
your eyes wide open, let alone be
ing blindfolded.
However, upon doing yarn
about the piece mentioned, quite
innocently, as said, that the man
must have an occult mind, or
something just as mysterious.
mentioned he drove with what must
have been sixth sense.
Well, no sooner had the story ap-
peared in print than the editor was
besieged from all sides by people
who said I was poking fun at the
supernatural.
This was pure misunderstanding
on their part because I believe in
the supernatural as much as the
next one. I'm completely SPELL
bound by magician or anybody
who works in black magic. Furth-
ermore, 1 have never come around
to the belief tina ia magician does
not have some sort of superhuman
power the rest of us cannot hope to
attain.
I'm completely mesmerized when
a sleight-of-hand person pulls half
dollars from my nose and actually
when I get off to myself, start
tugging at my nose to find if can
pull out any half dollars.
And the scientific explanations
for various phenomena leave me
flat. simply don't believe in them.

"A Narrow View

DR.. Slogan Gavrilovitch, Yygoslav
Foreign Under-Secretary and head of
the UNO committee which selected the
site for the Capital of the World, says
In New York that the attitude of the
people of Greenwich, Connecticut, and
pupils Of Hunter college, New York
City, the first in opposing the perma-
nent location and the second to use of
college buildings temporarily, is clear
indication of lack of harmony in the
United Nations Organization.
Unfortunately there is much dissat-
isfaction with the UNO situation, but
so far as the antagonism of Green
wichites to being forced out and of the
pupils at Hunter to giving up their
school buildings, there is little reason
to associate this with the discord in
the organization.
Doctor Gavrilovitch's committee went
about selecting the site in it's own way
/ and without considering that a num-
Der of cities were ready to 90 about
for the distinction of being the World
Capital notably Boston, Philadelphia
and San Francisco. Also, when the
committee was about to start for OH,

structive effort former Secretary O,

THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT

1t isn't called the graveyard shift because
OF its early morning hours or because, as

sM1rTEN, BUT SERVING
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS


It puts one into a jubilant mood
to look around his own little circle
and to behold the heroic, efficient
lives that are carrying on nobly,
in spite of handicaps. This morn
ing 1 am contemplating the case
Of a young woman who has as
great warrant as anybody for
spending her days at the Wailing
Place.
She is worse than widowed; she
has child to care for; alike her
joy and her burden; she is without
money; she has been bitterly de-
ceived and disappointed.
Yet she carries on conqueringly.
Floods visited her village; she was
the natural choice as relief admin
istrator. She was nurse, friendly
visitor and general helper; and in
ordinary times she is sweet and
serene in loving service; heroine
in character and in work.
For all the lives lived greatly.
despite handicaps known only to-
Thee. our Father, we give thanks
todsy. From Thy hand will come
their sure reward. Amen.
