Eleventh Show
OF Rose Society
Opens Saturday

The eleventh annual rose show OF
the Potomac Rose Society, open to
any gardener in this area, will be
held next Saturday and Sunday at
the National Museum, Tenth street
and Constitution avenue NV. En-
tries will be received up to noon on
Saturday, and judging will proceed
until pm. The exhibits will be
opened to the public from to 10
pm. Saturday and from 10 am. to
pm. Sunday.
1t. Col r. K. Windham, president,
said yesterday he hoped the show
will be taxed to care for the entries.
IF your garden has only one good
bloom, show it, because it may win
top honors." he said. TT has hap
pened just that way"
Rose blooms to be at their best
at the time Of judging should be cut
the night before and their stems
deeply immersed In cold water until
brought to the Museum. Care should
be taken not to wet the blooms. BY
hardening overnight, blooms will be
at their best during the 80 hours
of exhibition"
Star Trophy for Arrangement.
Among the trophies to be awarded
on Sunday evening at o'clock will
be The Star Cup for the winner of
most points in the arrangements
classes. The Windham Trophy, a
silver urn, will be awarded for the
best group of five selected varieties:
Crimson Glory. Charlotte Armstrong,
Nine. Henry Guillot, K. A. Viktoria
and Peace.
Amateurs are warned to specify
not only the name of the exhibitor
but the name of the garden club of
which he is a member so that the
winnings may be accredited to the
proper club when awards are COM
piled.
There will be classes open to COM
mercial growers and florists, as we'll
as to nurserymen and hybridizers.
Bud vases for specimen blooms will
be provided by the society, contain
ers for other classes by the ex-
libitors.

"In the Good Old Days, exchang-
ing slips was looked upon as a
neighborly practice. House plants
were for the most part obtained
through getting slip from some
friend and roofing it in water or
soil and then potting. Today this
exchange of slips is not so common
Most of us get our house plants at a
store or greenhouse. Perhaps one OF
the reasons for this change is that
the modern house is bit too dry
for slips to root readily.
However, it is possible to root slips
or cuttings just as easily today as 1t
was in Colonial times. Not only do
we have considerable research In
methods, time, and media, but we
have the so-called hormones to aid
us in successful propagation.
Some plants strike roots so readily
that they can be placed In a jar OF
water where new roots will form
and they can then be set out in a
pot. Plants such as the ivy, gera-
MUM, African violet, ETC., are in this
group. Others develop roots best in
sand, or in a mixture of sand and
peat moss. One of the commercial
products-prepared mica-may be
easier to procure than clean sand
Pulverized spaghnum moss is also
effective, although 1t does not pack
so easily about the cuttings. Chry-
santhemuns, geraniums, coleus, be-
gonias, ETC., fall in this group.
Division Causes Increase.
While we may take cuttings from
many plants we must not overlook
the fact that many plants may be
divided. The African violet, for in
stance, often develops two or more
crowns and needs only to be sep
arated to have an increase. The
aspidistra, ironclad plant, needs
only to be pulled apart to create new
plants. On the other hand the SAN
sevieria may be divided or stem
can be cut into lengths and buried
in sand or sandy soil where each
piece will develop roots and new
plants within month or six weeks.
This method should not be used on
the mottled varieties of sanseyieria
which may revert to plain green
under this method of propagation.
The dracaena often outgrows its
allotted space and can be multiplied
by cutting off the top, which is
sawed into 6 to 10 inch lengths
These are buried in sand and in a
short time new plants will have de-
veloped along the buried stems. De-
tach them and plant in pots.
The pandanus, or screwpine,
usually develops offsets which may
be pulled off and rooted in water
or sand.
Some Precautions to Take.
The average home gardener may
have difficulty in roofing these cut
tings and offsets in the ordinary dry
air Of a house unless he takes few
precautions. They have to do with
providing the necessary humidity
so that the cutting or shoot will not
dry out before it can develop new
roots. The most certain method is
to take an old fish aquarium and
put q layer of gravel or coarse
drainage material in the bottom and
to 4 inch layer of clean sand
over it. A glass cover for the top
will complete the case.
A somewhat simpler but perhaps
less effective method is to take a
large pot-S inches-place drainage
material and sand in the bottom
and cover with pane Of glass. This
will hold half dozen cuttings. Still

'125 Dahlia Varieties
ToBe Judged Today
At MarvlandU.

Judging of 125 new varieties of
dahlias grown on the trial grounds
of the University of Maryland will
take place at 2 pm. today, Profs
Mark M. Shoemaker and William
H. Wood of the horticulture depart
ment have announced.
The flowers, raised from seedlings
received by the university from
dahha growers throughout the Mid
die Atlantic States, were planted on
the same day last spring by spe-
cialists at the university.
Judges will include DR.. Henry c.
Parker j. L. Bishop and E. r. Phil
lips of Washington and w. A.
Bochair and Charles M. Diffen-
deiffer of Baltimore. Dahlias re-
ceiving a point score of IS or more
will be given a certificate of award
from the American Dahlia Society.
During the judging 275 standard
dahlia varieties will be on display
at the university trial grounds.

Propagating Our House Plants
Slipping Is Still Satisfactory Method;
Modern Research Very Helpful
By W. H. Younqmon

another device is a shallow pot (bulb
pan Of or inches in diameter). .
Set small pot, az or inches, with
the drainage hole corked shut in the
center, and fill the space between
with sand Water is kept in the small
pot at all times to moisten the sand
in the larger pot and through evap-
grafton to keep the air more humid.
Such device will hold half dozen
or more cuttings.
Generally speaking, when plant
is entering on period OF vigorous
new growth is the best time to take
a cutting. Geraniums can be tested
by bending the stem. If it snaps,
it is considered to be at the proper
stage for the taking of cuttings. If
timber and flexible, it is not likely
to root easily.
Water well the sand and soil be-
fore placing the cuttings. Do not
allow the soil to dry out, but it
should not become soggy, Sand
allows excess moisture to drain
away.
Subdued Light Is Needed.
Cuttings should be shaded for a
few days after placing in sand. This
means subdued light-not darkness.
AS soon as the roots have formed
they should be potted up and given
as much sunlight as they were
used to.
There is evidence to indicate that
cuttings treated with root-induc-
ing hormone will root more readily
than those not treated, but for most
house plants this treatment is not
necessary. Experts, however, use
them when propagating plants that
are difficult to handle.
Cuttings normally are to inches
in length. The rule Is to take a
piece with at least two nodes, the
end being cut off just below the bot
tom node (ioint). The leaves, with
the exception of one or two of the
smallest at the tip of the cutting,
are removed before the cutting is

Rose Shoe
SUGGESTIONS

Don't put roses in an ice box.
They lose cast in the showroom
or pop open. Harden over
night in cold water and keep In
cool place.
1t is proper to dress your
rose by removing one or two
marred or crumpled petals very
gently.
Stem should be cut from II to
18 inches long.
Remove thorns on lower stem.
This will allow more water to
enter.
Do not overpack baskets OF
flowers en- route to show. Put
baskets fat on bottom OF car,
leave rear windows open.
Put name tags on roses when
taken from bush.

placed in the sand. The cutting is
now ready. 1t is the usual practice
to place it to a depth of 2s to Il of
its length in the sand. Another
guide-have at least two nodes COW
cred with sand.
The easiest~plant to propagate is
the (Bryophyllum Kalanchoe Pin
nata. Place a leaf on saucer of
moist sand, where in compare
lively short time small plant will
appear in each indentation of the
leaf. Yes, its common name Is
sprouting leaf (airplant Kalanchoe)
and it is really easy to propagate.

america has failed to realize"
continued DR.. Slawson, "that the
characterization of Germany is one
of the big world problems today.
American cultural and spiritual
leaders have not banded together
for the reorientation of Germany
and Germans in terms of Ameri-
can ideals.
eff we build up Germany ma
terially at the present time with

educational reorganization job, we
are building up a Frankenstein
monster who will infect and men

DR.. Slawson charged that the
tremendous cut in the budget for
the military occupation of Ger
many made by Congress "has
made itself particularly felt among
those concerned with Germany's
reeducation.
cit is quite true that there is
hunger among the Germans, at the
starvation level. The combination
of physical hunger superimpOsed
on a Nazi-infected society creates
the great danger with which the
world will again be confronted.

best of authority that the Nazis
are able, through arrangements
made with those who produce
od-farmers to obtain food,
through former interrelations,
while the few pro-democratic,

to live on the same starvation ra-
ton as is general. No premium

Roger Williams declaration of
religious freedom. Religious serv-
ices were held in private homes
until the Jewish community was
able to build a temple century
later.
At the time of the dedication Of
the new structure on December 4,
1853, the spiritual leader of the
congregation was the Reverend
Isaac Touro, for whom the Syna-
gogue was named. He was the
father of Judah Touro, who later
became one of Americas great
philanthropists, endowing the first
free library in the world, helping
to complete the Bunker Hill mon
ument, and giving generously of
his fortune to many charitable
enterprises, regardless of creed or
color. The Touro Infirmary, in
New Orleans, is named for him.

Plea For Eradication of
Anti-Semitism in
u. S. Zone

MUNICH (WNS)-Proposals for
the elimination of anti-Semitism
in the American zone in Germany
and the improvement of the DIP
situation were presented here this
week by representatives. of the
Jewish Central Committee of Ger
many to General Lucius D. Clay,
American military commander in
Germany.
The proposals, submitted to the
American General at meeting
with the Committees representa-
tives, urged that anti-Semitism be
classified as a major crime, that
the courts in the DIP camps be pre-
sided over by inmates, that mod
ern hospital and sanitarium be
established in the Munich area for
use by displaced Jews and that
the restitution law be made effect
i've as early as possible in the
American zone.
The meeting was attended by
Judge Louis e. Levinthal, Clay's
advisor on Jewish affairs.

One of the nations outstanding
religious monuments, the Touro
Synagogue was declared national
shrine last year by the Depart
ment of the Interior, in accordance
with the governments plan to help
preserve historic sites. The Syn
agogue, which has served as a
place of worship for the Jewish
congregation of Newport since
1853, is known as one of the most
beautiful examples of Colonial
architecture in the country today.
The TourO Synagogue was a
famous landmark even in the early
days of the Republic. 1t was here
that George Washington delivered
the famous lines embOdying his
concept of religious liberty:
1.-THE citizens of the United
States of America have a right to
applaud themselves for having
given to mankind examples of an
enlarged and liberal policy: a
policy worthy of imitation. All
possess alike liberty of conscience
and immunities of citizenship. 1t
is now no more that liberation is
spoken of. as if it was by the in
diligence of one class of people
that another enjoyed the exercise
of their inherent natural rights.
For happily, the Government OF
the United States gives 10
bigotry no sanction May the
Children of the Stock of Abraham

The problem of restoring proper
ty to persons deprived of it under
Nazi laws, with particular refer
ence to racial laws, was transfer
red in recent weeks to the Allied
Control Council in Berlin.
For many months before that,
the draft of restitution law had
lain in the lap of the Laenderrat
Council of Ministers) in the
American zone of Germany. The
stumbling block has been the I'M
willingness Of the Laenderrat to
enact the law in form acceptable
to the American Military Govern
ment. '"The Germans objected to
certain provisions of the law,
drafted by AMG, as too severe.
This would apply only in the U. S.
zone.
Several months ago General Luz
Gus ID. Clay, American military
commander in Germany, was hope
full that quadripartite restitution
law might be enacted by the Con-
troll Council. He asked for sixty
days in which to work this out.
The argument in favor of such a
law is one of percentage:
Eighty percent of restorable
property is located in other than
the United States zone, which is
expected to yield only twenty per
cent.
Representatives of interested
Jewish organizations were consult
ed. While not hopeful over the
prospects of 4-pOwer agreement,
they went along for the 6O-day
period. 1t slipped into some 100
days, and still no meeting of the
four minds.

however, prefer the zonal law. In
spite of the disparate figures, they
want to start the restitution ma

were urged to wait for the quadri-
zonal law, but feel there is little
likelihood of it's enactment. The
question has now reached a point

taken, either in Berlin or Wash
