will keep their freshness at least
three times as long as you expect.
Flowers may be conditioned to keep
well a good while.
The first rule for keeping flowers
is to cut them either early in the
morning Or after the sun has gone
down. Cut the stems on a slant so
the water intake may be greater.
Whenever possible, cut them in the
bud, not fully blown and already
on the wane.
Many flowers need to have the
cut end singed. For this, use a bath
towel and wrap it securely around
the whole flower allowing the ends
of the stems to stick out. This will
prevent rising heat waves from da-
maging the blossoms or leaves. For
the singeing use the flame from
canned solid alcohol or a gas burner.
Another type flower, such as
hyacinths, and all members of the
narcissi family conditions best if you

substance, if allowed to remain, will
thicken and prevent the flower from
drawing in fresh waters
A third variety of flowers, such
as camellias and gardenias never
drink from the stem after it is cut
from the plant. It's only source of
water intake is thro' the petals, so
the best treatment is to wrap the
flowers in wet tissue before using.
If you make an arrangement of gar
denias or camellias, they may be
sprayed with water. This will add
to the beauty, too, as it will give
the appearance of dew on the petals.

Flowers with. woody stems, may
have the stems pounded up about
two inches. This allows the flower
to absorb more water. Hydrangeas
belong to this class.
Water lilies present a particular
problem, for they close almost as

be overcome if you pour a Ii tie

American Aid

The mere suggestion of a 25 per cent cut in the European
Recovery Programme must have come as a shock to many
good European yesterday morning. 1t does not follow, of course
that the recommendations of the House of Representatives APP
preparations Committee will be finally approved by Congress-
The powerful triumvirate of President Truman, Mr.. George Mar
shall and Mr.. Paul HOFFMAN are bringing the strongest pressure
to bear to make certain that the original provisions for European
rehabilitation are not curtaied. But the thoughtful European
would do well to ponder on the motives behind this unexpected
blow to his hopes of seeing a sefsupporting economy on the Con-
tnent by 1862.
Strip the problem to it's elementals. The United States :
or more precisely, the taxpayer of the United States are CIV
ing to Europe a vast sum of money-more than anybody has ever be
fore given away in history. We know that this action is not en-
tirely an atruistic gesture of charity or compassion. The adj
ministraton has fought for many long months to convince the
American manin-the-street that aid to Europe is the most vital
weapon in the fight against Communism. One of E.RP's prime
functions is to bolster the sagging frontline of democracy against
the MARKHAM offensive and to safeguard the American way of
life. But knowing all this we still believe that there is, by and
large, a distressing lack of gratitude on the part of the European
man-in..the-street. Far too few realize that the clerk. the
mechanic, the businessman in America our old friend John Doe,
in factputting his hand deeply into his own pocket and handing
over his own hard-earned dollars to help Europes clerk, mechanic
of life, too.
And John Doe 5000 miles away from bedeviled Europe
express a word Of gratitude. Gratitude. is no good if it consists
only Of the official words of a Government executive. 1t must
personal sacrifices a Woodworking man on the other side of the
Atlantic is making to help him.
Europe is now working hard, but it still bungles the way
it uses Americas bountiful gifts. The examples in Britain, ON
which we have dwelt so frequently in this column, are too hume
purseholders. In some European countries it has been wasted by
negligence on the part OF governments which have been allowed
ket.
The fact that Europe is working hard is a good sign. Re-
construction goes on space; rebuilding is in full swing. Now what
is needed is more careful management of funds, and a little more
appreciation of the Fairy Godfather.

Court UphoIds Denial
Of License 10 Barber

Pat J. Fiordelise yesterday lost q
round in District Court in his fight
to force District authorities to issue
him a new license to continue to
operate barber shop, at 1904 New
York avenue NV.
District authorities had refused to
issue him a new license to operate
on the grounds that he had charged
service men excessive prices.
Judge Edward A. Tamm of Dis
trict Court ruled In favor of the au-
thorities. A suit on the issue was
brought by Mr.. Fiordelise last March
No court order has yet been signed
in connection with Judge Tamm's
ruling.
In the event an appeal is taken
Mr.. Fiordelise probably would be al.
lowed to continue to operate pend.

Mr.. Fiordelise was accused ot
having charged $15.75 for a mas.
