First Flowers Of Spring
Come from minor" Bulbs

Spring Towering bulbs play a
most important part in the sue
cession of bloom" which can be
so planned as to provide flowers
in the garden for many months.
Bulbs give the earliest garden
flowers, and dominate garden dis
plays in early spring.
The first flower to open when the
ground begins to thaw in spring IS
the snowdrop or galanthus. Its
tiny white flowers are scarcely an
inch across with petals spread out,
but clump Of twenty-five peeping
through the snow is truly beautiful
to Winter-Weary eyes. Plant them
in group, never in a row, placed
where they can be seen from a
nearby window.
SciIlas and chinodoxas, both blue,
are next to bloom, much earlier
than violets. They really carpet
the ground with color, and like our
climate and soil. Both will spread
from seed dropped each spring, so
start your first paintings where
there is room to expand. Remem-
Der these early flowers come be-
fore there are any leaves, and may
be planted close to shrubs, or in
border spaces where taller neigh
bors, later in the season, would
hide them.
Crocuses bloom before the daffo-
dis: and they should be planted in
groups, never in rows, and never
in grass which will be moved. The
foliage of all bulbs must be allowed
TO turn yellow and dry up before
the bulbs are lifted If the leaves
are cut off while still green the bulb
cannot mature. Crocuses give us
blue and yellow flowers which
look we'll together, and may be
combined in many pleasing pat
terms.
The first daffodns come after the
crocuses, and then the hyacinths,
early tulips and finally the tall.
late tulips, which usually blossom
two weeks before the irises, and are
capable of a color display which
cannot be surpassed the remainder
OF the year.

Sea Bottom Seems
Dubious OF Sovereignty

COPENHAGEN lap Who
owns the bottom of the sea?
This question has been debat-
ed among experts on information
al law, but has now become
more prominent than ever with
the Belgium professors Picard
and Max Cossyns planning to
descent 10000 feet down through
the ocean.
A world known Danish expert
on international law, DR.. Juris
George Cohen of the Danish
foreign office, says the problem
now needs a solution since the
United States, Argentine, and
Mexico, Chile and this year also
Iceland have proclaimed them :
selves owners of the bottom of
the sea from their beaches to
where the mainland under the
water suddenly slopes down
from about 600 feet under sea
level to 5000 feet or more.
1t is now considered only a
matter of time when minerals
and coal may be found there.
Russia for long time has been
pumping oil from the bottom of
the Caspian Sea.
In 1880 the first international
conversations on the problem
were held. 1t proved impossible
to reach an understanding be-
cause the participating nations
held different views on the ques-
ton how far the sea should be
regarded territorial waters.
''It is difficult to state from
existing rules of international
law who can be placed as the
owner of the bottom of the sea,
but l can't see how anybody can
agrue against claims that a GER
tain part of the seabottom ex-
tending from the coast belongs
to the country on mainland"
says DR.. Cohn.

Easter with It's chicks and bun
nies and gayly colored eggs is time
dear to the heart of every small
child. Many of them will be eagerly
anticipating the thrill of their first
Easter egg hunt. and with ample
egg supplies this year the whole
family can join in the fun OF deco
rating them for the basket.
The art Of egg decoration Is an
old folk custom, dating back into
the days of fertility rites and Nature
worship. Many families in the Cen
tral European countries used to
work all year through decorating
eggs which were sold at Eastertime
to city folks. In some places
in America where the old tradi-
tions have been implanted, this Gus
tom is still followed. The egg artists
in those days used to tap them at
either end with a sharp pointed
needle and then the eggs were blown.
AS you can imagine this made a
fragile shell to work on. Our modern
adoption of this old art is to first
hard-cook the. eggs and then stem
ellis or patterns are applied. Orig
inally the designs were traced over
parts Of the egg with beeswax, later
melted parafhn was used. The par
AHMED egg then went int hot dye
bath and timed according to the
depth of color desired. The hot dye

B;y ~ Betty Niles:

There are some treasures, the
sages claim, that "impoverish the
purse but enrich the SOUL" Mrs,
Blanche Kreuzburg, better known
to Washtngtonians as Mrs. K"
keeper Of the Toll House Tavern on
Colesville pike, in Silver Spring, is
thoroughly acquainted with both as
poets Of antique collecting. Her rich
collection Of glassware and antique
pieces is rewarding to patrons Of the
teahouse as well as to its owner. The
collection is crowned with a proba-
bly, unequa1ed group of lacelike
glassware made by the famed
Nicholas Lutz.
Occupying one side of the room
known as the heirloom corner is the
collection of delicate Lutz glass, val
ued at 10000. The lovely Lutz ware
is rare today: In a recent Boston
show, in the area of the Sandwich
Glass Works, for which Lutz worked,
not one piece of Lutz glass was
shown, although there were over a
hundred exhibitors.
Glass Expert Ruth Webb Lee
writes Of Lutz's work, His perfect
ly braided patterns are unbelievably
beautiful and exquisite in workman
ship and coloring. His striped
glasses, swirled and threaded, are
sought by collectors for their beauty
and rarity" Lutz specialized in fancy
colored glass, chandelier arms and
thin glass and stem work. An en-
ploye of the Boston Sandwich Glass
Works, which was in existence at
Cape Cod, Mass, from 1924 to 1888,
he turned out paperweights and
other pieces at work, and by the
light of a tallow candle produced

Twenty-Five Staf1ordshire eur
plates attract interest In the main
dining room. The plates were pro-
duced in the years between 1870
and 1880, and hark back to the days
when gentlemen and gentlewomer
poured their drinks out of handle
less cups into saucers, drank from
the saucers, and set the cups on
these small plates.
Bordering the main dining rooms
are 50 old Blue staffordshire plates
All-American views are included in
this collection. In the late 1770s
English merchants sent artists over
to sketch American scenes, then
used these sketches to decorate
pottery that was sold In the United
States. The names of the early
potters, Woods Clews, Stevenson
Adams and Ridgeway are on many
of the plates. The border on each
plate was the potter's trademark.
Views we're often copied, but bor-
ders never were.
Upstairs, at the Toll House, two
bedrooms, decorated in the early
American tradition, are on display.
Downstairs, visitors are greeted by
perpendicular wall clock that faces
the door. The words to "Dickory
Dickory, Dock" are printed on the
bottom. The mouse literally runs up
the clock, marking the time as he
goes.
