Just Between
Ourselves
BY Philip n. Love

A score or more members of the
editorial stats of Washington's
school newspapers toured the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation re-
Gently. They examined evidence
used in bringing notorious Grim
inals to justice, inspected the FBI's
famous crime-detection apparatus
and saw demonstrations Of the
various weapons employed by G.
men In their war against crime.
1t was all very thrilling, OF course.
But the biggest thrill of all, the
editors agreed, was meeting the
FBI's noted director, J. Edgar
Hoover. Reported Tech Life, which
was represented on the tour by
Editor Airline Grossman and News
Editor Jane Chiles: "Mr. Hoover
grasped the hand of each editor
warmly, looked him straight in the
eye and said with sincerity, I'm
very glad to meet you and I'm so
glad you could come today"
Seashells are the hobby of Cath
crime A. Taylor, 16. Of 1888 Half
street SW., a student of Dunbar
High School, who describes her
collection as small but beautiful
and valuable" All her shells came
from the sandy slOres of SanebeI
Island, Fla. Although I do not
remember all the technical terms
for the Shells" Catherine writes, Il
do remember the common names.
Some of these are Pin Cushion
Jewel Box. Angel Wings, Chinese
Alphabet, Lions Paw and Chinese
Fan. I am, indeed, proud of my
collection" Sanebel Island Is, as
she points out, noted for its IA
nous shells"
Nearly every boy-and girl, too

Cobbler and Katahdin potatoes.
List Of Crops.
The next crops to be planted after
these earliest ones are broccoli,
chard, lettuce, mustard greens,
spinach, beets, carrots, parsnips and
radishes. Most experienced gar
deners already will have made one
or more paintings Of lettuce, rad
ishes and spinach. It is always
well to make small paintings, fol-
lowed with other paintings a week
or 10 days apart. For lettuce Black
Seeded Simpson is recommended,
Scarlet Globe or White Icicle for
radishes and Bloomsdale Long
standing spinach.
Some new gardeners are puzzled
as to which way to run the rows.
If there is no danger of causing
erosion run the rows north and
south. 1t will give better light to
all crops. Straight rows make for
ease in cultivation. II you are
planting small seeds a good furrow
may be made by dragging the handle
of the hoe along a cord stretched
for a guide.
If you have bought seed from
reliable dealers it will not be 2eces-
sary to treat the seed. If you ques-
ton the reliability of the seed firm
use just pinch of fungicide dust.
In the case of potatoes buy only
certified seed. Potatoes that look
good and sound -nay have scab or
some other disease Do not plant
potatoes on newly manured land
and avoid fertilizers high in nitro
gen. They require large quantities
of potash and phosphate.
Garden seeds are in ample supply
So prepare the soil adequately, sow
the seed thinly and cultivate regu-
larly for the best Victory garden.

Oh, why, my dear magnolia tree,
(Will you tell me why you do IT'D
Why every March you bloom so free,
And right away you rue it?
I'd think that from the year before
You'd gauge your time correctly;
For just because springs at the door
You can't bloom forth so
sprightly!
The wind is warm and then it's chill,
I don't know what's the reason,
But your life's chances will be nil
If you keep out of season.
So save your blossoms until May,
(This next year, please do try it,,
Then for while your blossom can
stay,
With sunshine for blossom diet.
