Some perennial seeds are very
small. Mix them with sand 80 that
they will not be sown too quickly
In the row and merely press them
into the soil instead of covering
them. Larger seeds need a shallow
covering of soil. Firm the soil down
on them SO that they will make i'm
mediate contact with the moisture
and plant food. Keep the soil moist
but not wet until the seeds sprout
Some gardeners spread damp burlap
over the surface to furnish needed
moisture, removing it at the first
sign OF sprouting.
Here are a number of perennials
that beginners can start from seed
with almost sure success: Column
bine, gaillardia, coreopsis, hollyhock,
painted daisy, sweet william, hardy
pinks, hardy alyss,nn, and the violas,
Perennial seeds usually take some
what longer to terminate than those
OF annual flowers. Don't be discor-
aged IL the tiny sprouts do not show
themselves for two or three weeks
after the seed Is sown.

THE STACCAIO whine of
l. a speedboat motor used
to be just so much noise to
Joe Palmer. Year after year
the Presidents. Cup Regatta
would be run of practically
at the back door of his Water
street seafood store, and all
he did was shut the door to
keep out the racket.
And then the racing bug
bit him. He hasn't been the
same since.
For 20 years I've been in
business on this water front,
and I never saw a boat race in
my life until last fall" he
says. And that was a race
I was in"
He entered his class D in
board runabout in the local
regatta. He didn't win any
thing, but he acquired a
world of experience and a
terrific yen to take up the
sport in a big way.
He invested in a hydroplane
hull and a motor, plus gadgets
such as a high compression
head, which can hop up a
motor from the supposed
limit of 1900 revolutions per
minute to 5000.
Then he began getting ad-
vice from experienced speed
boat drivers. This Is one of
the few sports where COM
petitors freely help and advise
each other. They are always
on the long distance phone,
talking to each other about
cams and compression ratics.

part of a night thinking about
MIR. Palmer's sparkplug trou-
BILE and, what's more, came up
with the solution.
Mr.. Palmer is one of sew
eral local powerboat enthusi-
asts who plan to compete in
the Presidents Cup Regatta
next month. Each minute he
can spare from his business
he is either competing in
regattas round and about, or
tinkering with his motor.
One of the more seasoned
veterans hereabouts is I. E.
(Ike) Hale, 4O18 Georgia ave-
nue., who competed in his first
race in 1915, and now, at the
age of so, is a familiar figure
at meets around the East. He
pilots a class c outboard
hydroplane. Last year he won
the high point total for COM
petition in the Eastern divi-
sion of the American Power
Boat Association. His favorite
race is the 150-mile Albany
to-New York marathon race,
in which he won the amateur
division in 1941. He says this
is the worlds toughest motor
boat race, because it offers
every hazard known to river
navigation.
He packs his boat atop his
auto to neighboring meets,
usually accompanied by his
wife and his mechanic, Laur-
ence s. Dyer. His wife is al
most as ardent a fan as he
Is a competitor. What is there
in the sport that gets people?
Mr.. Hale doesn't quite know,
Evening star., 1947-08-10

but whatever it is, it's terrific,
he says.
For one thing, it's the only
100 per cent sport left. The
spectators get a show for free,
the amateurs compete for
nothing and the professionals
average $50 in prize money
for a first place, even though
that doesn't begin to cover
their COSTS"
Mr.. Palmer, too, has an
aide, John Zevely, 1113 North
Vermont street, Arlington, p
former outboard driver, who
serves as mechanic and alter
mates as pilot for the 1856
cubic-foot hydroplane which
they tote to meets on a
trailer.
Both Mr.. Palmer and Mr..
Hale feel that powerboat rae
ing is relatively inexpensive.
Mr.. Palmer says he has about
$4,000 invested in his hull,
engine and trailer. ave spent
more than that for fishing"
he says.
Mr.. Hale says a good c out
board outfit will cost about
$1,000. His fuel costs him $11
for five gallons. He gets 21a
miles to the gallon. However,
fuel frequently is supplied
free of charge by commercial
oil companies.
Another local enthusiast,
Frank E. Vernon, 1850 South
Thirty-sixth street, Arlington,
now Is making his own hull
in his basement, and expects
to save money thereby. How
ever, it is doubtful that it will
be ready In time for the Pres
ident's Cup Regatta.

Mrs. Merritt Leaves
Estate Of $4,000

Mrs. Margaret B. Merritt, wife
of John w. Merritt of the Kennedy
Warren Apartments. left an estate
valued at more than S523, 900, ac-
cording to a petition for admin
istration filed yesterday in District
Court. Mrs. Merritt, who was Al,
died at Miami Beach. Fla, on
March 6.
Mrs. Merritt left no will, accord
ing to the petition, which asked
that her husband be named admin
istrator.
The petition, filed through Attor-
ney Walter NJ Tobriner, listed Mrs.
Merritt's estate as including S293, $50
in personal property and 1925, 900
worth of real estate. 1t said her
only heirs at law are her husband,
and mother, Mrs. Margaret B. Poske
of Chevy Chase, Md.
Under the law, according to coun-
sci, Mr.. Merritt and Mrs. Poske are
to share equally in the estate, ex-
cept for real estate in Florida,
valued at $45,000 which goes to
the husband outright.
Mrs. Merritt married Mr.. Merritt,
following the death of former
husband, the late Donald Woodward,

Romney Indictment
Dismissal Denied in
House Bank Case

Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut Of
District Court yesterday afternoon
refused to dismiss an indictment
against Kenneth Romney, former
House sergeant-at-arms, accusing
the defendant Of falsifying Gov
eminent accounts and covering up
a shortage of s143,863 in the bank
ing section of the House sergeant
alarms Office.
The indictment was returned
against Romney on February 10. A
motion to dismiss, filed through
Romney's attorney, William H
Collins, contended the indictment
is void on grounds that the grand
jury was illegally constituted"
The motions claim was based on
q contention that the impaneling
was done on a volunteer basis, F"
since the grand jury of % persons
was drawn from about so persons
who had not expressed any desire
to be excused.
An affidavit filed with the motion
claimed that each prospective grand
juror had been asked if he desired
to be excused from duty and was
asked to step aside if the answer
was in the affirmative.
Mr.. Collins claims the prospective
grand jurors should not have been
excused unless they had shown
proper cause.
Justice Schweinhaut, in an in
formal ruling, held the method

ers have devices for steaming of
wallpaper. If you remove the paper
yourself, be extremely careful not
to soak the board too much, for
you might loosen the paper cover
ing from the plasterboard. Use only
just enough moisture to soften the
wallpaper paste.
After tearing off the wallpaper,
wash off the old glue sizing and
paste by wiping with damp cloth.
Allow to dry thoroughly. Then ap-
ply a thin coat of Shellac, let dry,
and sandpaper very lightly to re-
move all projecting fibers from the
surface. Wipe off the dust. If not
badly cracked, the plasterboard
might be patched with spackle,
mixed with paint or varnish as di-
rected on the box.
Pack this mixture into the cracks
with a putty knife and allow to
harden before applying paint. Bad
ly bulged and cracked plasterboard
should be replaced.
The Jumps in the joints might
be reduced by rubbing with sand
paper. Fill any irregular surfaces

Cleaning Fireplace Brick.
Question: Please give me instruc-
tions for cleaning fireplace brick.
Answer: First, brush off as much
of the dirt sand SCOT as you can
with dry brush. Then scrub the
brick with hot solution of wash
ing soda or trisodium phosphate,
using three pounds to the gallon
of water. Use a stiff fibre brush.
Or make paste of securing powder
with little water and some house
hold ammonia.
Rinse very well afterward and rub
dry. If the bricks look dull, you
can enrich the color by brushing
with raw linseed oil or substitute.
In Is minutes or SO, wipe off the
excess oil.
This will darken the color some
