They Con Take 1t
By Linnoeus T. Sewage

Contrary to popular belief, it
is not difficult to grow orchids in
your own home. AS a matter of
fact. orchids are very hardy
plant. Some types of orchids,
like the Cattleya, are among the
toughest plants under cultivation
and will survive more mistreat-
ment than a cactus.
There is no doubt that orchid
plants will grow on a window sill
or shelf in the home; however,
many homes are heated artifi-
cally and are often too dry for
orchids to grow vigorously and
produce their maximum of
blooms. Orchids like air, water
and sunshine just like human
beings do; however, they don't
like a stuffy room or damp
weather.
Orchids need sunshine and
humidity, a fairly constant tenn
perature, and should be kept
away from drafts and receive the
usual care one would give an
ordinary house plant. However,
one must have patience, as it
takes an orchid approximately
seven years to grow from a seed
ling to a Towering plant. After
they once bloom. however, they
will continue to bloom regularly
once Or twice a year and with
proper care the plant will last a
lifetime.
Voter Fiber, Wipe Leaves
Orchid plants require a thor
ough watering once every week
or 10 days. The watering of the
Tplant is done by immersing the
pot in pan of water or by the
use of a garden hose until the
fiber in which the plant grows is
thoroughly soaked. After the
soaking, the pot should be al
lowed to drain before being put
back in its place. In between the
| weekly watering, the leaves
should be wiped with a damp
cloth to remove all dust so that
the plant may breathe.
/ For those who would like to
/ grow orchids on a larger scale
than by the window sill''
method, a greenhouse is recon-
mended, because heat, tempera-
ture and light can be thermostat-
ically controlled with great ac-
curacy. But don't be alarmed al
the thought of buying a green
house, thinking it will be toe
expensive.
Today there are a number oi
reasonably priced package d
greenhouses on the market which
can easily be erected with the
few tools usually found in the
average home. The greenhouses
vary in prices and may either be
purchased in aluminium or wood

The fall and winter seasons
in Germany have always been
of interest to the traveller. and
this year will be enhanced by
the extra effort that has been
made to make the seasons en-
tertaining. Besides the tradi-

tivals, there are toy and trade
fairs, art exhibitions and musi-
cal presentations oriented to the
Wiedersehen year. An added at
traction is that all these things
may be seen without the crush
and hustle of the on-season.
From November on, folk festi-
walls are held throughout the
towns and cities of Germany,
climaxing in the gay Christmas
marts and in the Christmas eve
and Christmas Day celebrations.

Court Refuses
ToUpset Pepco
Rate Rise Ban
Firm Must Now
Take PIeu Back
To Commission
By Robert K. Walsh

The Supreme Court refused
today to review a Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. rate increase
granted by the District Public
Utilities Commission in 1851 but
suspended last spring by the
U. S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia.
This refusal means that the
long -litigated rate increase plea
must go back to the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission for further
proceedings, in accordance with
the appeals court ruling.
The high court also refused to
review Capital Transit Co ap-
peal that grew out of the rate
increase sought by Pepcn to OBJ
tain an additional $2.6 millions
annually in operating revenues.
Accept Tax Case.
A case, testing constltutionality
of a section of the Federal gam
bling tax as applied in the Dis
trict, was accepted for review by
the court. This involved a rul-
ing by the Municipal Court of the
District in 1882 that the tax, as
applied against Frank Lewis, vio-
lated the self-incriminaticn pro-
vision of the fifth amendment.
The Municipal Court of APP
peals and the U S. Court of APP
peals for the District of CO.
lumbia reversed that decision
and declared the tax is consti-
tutional in the District. The.
Supreme Court ruled two years
ago that provisions of the Fed
eral gambling law were consti-
tutlonal as applied in States.
The Supreme Court issued
scores of orders granting or de-
nying review to many of the
cases filed since last June. One OF
the most important which the
court agreed to review involves
constitutionality of the Uniform
Code of Military Justice that
went into effect in 1851.
