There is already some specu-
lation whether Frank lin D.
Roosevelt, Jr. will become Presi-
dent. some day. This raises the
question whether he is legally
eligible to become President. He
was born in the Roosevelt sum-
mer home on Campobello Island
which is technically New Bruins
WITCH, q province of Canada. He
is ! undoubtedly an American
citizen because his parents were
American. But the Constitution
says the President must be
natural born" citizen. There is
on record a decision of federal
court that a natural born" citi-
zen must be born on American
territory.
The Russians came into the
war with Japan after the atom
bomb was dropped. They did not
fight, but declared war day
or so before the complete end of
hostilities. They stripped Man
churia of industrial equipment
and took it back to Russia. They
also took about 100000 prisoners
and sent them to Siberian labor
camps. Ever since, the Japanese
have been pleading for the re-
turn of these prisoners. Russia
is trying to encourage the COM
munist party in Japan and now
says all prisoners from Japan
will be returned. Only $4,000 re-
main alive to come back. Three
out of four of the prisoners died
| in Siberia.

Springs Cotton Mills has a
president with an eye for pub
licity. Some time ago it ran an
! ad showing only girl wearing
a dress and putting her toe in a
pool of water. The ad said the
president of the company offered
to make everything shown in the
picture. Now he is planning for
himself an elevator office" so
that he can push a button and
move his complete office, includ-
ing all furniture, secretaries, files,
ETC., up or down between the
second, third and fourth floors.
Chicago, like most cities, is a
pretty dirty place. In the Loop
Area, 100 tons of scot falls on
each square mile every month.
Also like other big cities, it has a
lot of unsolved murders. We are
brought up to believe that crime
does not pay and the criminal
is always brought to justice. This
is generally true, but, in Chicago
there are good many murders
still unsolved. The total for 1913
alone is l08 unsolved murders. A
Chicago newspaper recently
made a headline offer of $4,000
for information clearing up any
of the city's unsolved murders.
This can go all the way back to
gangster killing or beyond. Tips
tiers do not have to identify them
selves. The paper realized that
criminals and amateur detectives
might have field day, so it set
limit of 100000.

New Lilies and New Ways
To Plant Them This Fall

Japanese lily bulbs will be back
in full supply this fall, and with
them new American varieties, so
that lily fanciers may choose from
a list larger than ever before avail
able, to plant for next summer s
flowers.
Fall planting is best, because
most lily bulbs available in the
spring were dug the previous
fall, and spent the winter in cold
storage. It Is much better for them
to be in the soil of your garden,
where they can start spring growth
as soon as the frost has left.
Plant breeders in this country
have been working on lilies, and Of
fer several hybrid types, which are
claimed to be more adaptable to
garden environment than older va
rieties, which are species, or wild
forms, gathered in their native
homes, and transferred to gardens
without change. Those which have
survived and can be grown with rea-
sonable care In average garden soil
include:
L. candidum. the Madonna lily,
formerly grown by florists as the
Easter lily; L. regale. the royal lily,
white with pink markings; L. spe-
ciosum. a Japanese variety Of which
Two varieties are common, rubrum,
white marked with rose, and al
bum, all white; L. henryi, known
as the yellow speciosum; L. tgri-
mum. var. splendens, the tiger lily;
L. tenuifoliun, the coral lily Of ST.
IBERIA; L. auratum, the Japanese
gold-banded lily; L. elegans, snowy
Japanese lily, including red and
yellow; L. tesla ceum, fragrant buff
colored flowers growing feet high;
L. martagon, purple flowers spot
ted with black.
American growers question the
wisdom Of planting lily bulbs deep
ly. >Lilium candidum and its hy-
brids should barely be covered with
soil, they say. Others are best plant
ed so that the soil above the bulb
is no deeper than the bulb itself.
Thus bulb measuring four inches
from top to bottom should have
four inches Of soil above it. If this
is not deep enough, the roots will
pull the bulb deeper; while a bulb
planted too deep can never rise to
the right level.
More important than depth is the
location, however. Lilies need a
porous, well drained soil, sunshine
and lots of YpojSt11re southern
slope is ideal. Plant the bulbs up

right, otherwise the stem may be
weak.
American growers also are in
agreement that the old idea that
lilies should not be fed with COM
mercial plant food is obsolete. They
respond well to modern commercial
preparations, and show no injury,
provided it is used with the usual
precautions. In preparing bed or
border for lilies, spade under COM
plete balanced plant food, using
pounds for 100 square feet. In plant
ing bulbs singly, mix teaspoonful
of plant food with soil at the bot
tom Of the hole, and cover it with
an inch Of fresh soil before setting
the bulb.

this nation one of its most con-
spicuous hours. Truman has re-
deemed the faith of millions of
his felowmen in the ultimate tri-
umph of righteousness, a faith
that is at times shaken to its
foundations.
In being president of all the
people no one group need ex-
pect all its hopes and dreams to
materialize in short order. 1t is
true he is the spokesman for the
nations liberal elements; but it
must not be forgotten that his
opposition is not dead. His road
will be a rocky one and Truman
needs the prayers Of a nation.
The Dixiecrats are lying in wait
to ambush him. The old reaction
aries are eagerly awaiting the
hour when they can join the
chant Away With Him" Cruelty
Him."
Ravenous wolves of the Jungle
were never more hungry for the
blood of their prey than certain
sector of the south for the utter
destruction of Truman and Tru-
manism. If his program suffers a
temporary setback and does not
work as planned, Negroes must
not grow too impatient-and too
quickly. Truman has shown where
his heart is; and we must not
play into the hands of the Dixie
Gratis who are clamoring for his
destruction.
Truman has proved himself the
boldest knight ever to champion
the cause of civil rights for all =
Negroes included. Truman's eleva-
ton to the presidency is one OF
the most irrefutable testimonials
democracy will ever flaunt to the
world. He makes possible q ma
