The
Rambler
WindmiIIs Don't
Win All the Tits
By JACK JONAS

A lot of people around this
town have been fitting with
windmills lately, with vary
ing success.
A fellow we know who lives
out in Annandale jouSted, all
by himself. with the military,
and. all by himself, won a
point for his side.
The helicopter shuttle serv-
ice between Fort Belvoir and
the Pentagon, he says, was
disturbing his idyllic retreat.
They were flying. the way he
tells it, below the 500 feet
safety maximum, skimming
over his house.
He endured it for a couple
OF weeks. then one day
picked up the telephone.
Now don't go battling
windmills," his wife told him
severely.
That's exactly what I'm
going to do" he replied in the
tone of righteous indigna-
ton assumed by taxpayers
everywhere.
He got the right party, after
several transfers, and COM
planned bitterly.
How do you know they're
flying too low?" the right
party asked.
Our friend began reading
on his list Of helicopter serial
numbers, taken down as the
eopters swooped over his
house.
The upShot Of this. he says,
was that the helicopters now
iy a direct course toward his
house, veer sharply before
they get there. fly around his
house. veer back TO course
again. and continue on their
way.

How 10 Grow
Prize Roses in
Spite Of Heat
BY W. H. YOUNGMAN

It is comparatively easy to pro-
duce a good crop of rose blooms
in the spring but it takes good
care and regular attention if the
fall bloom is to have the quality
and quantity that is so desirable.
The fall bloom of roses. coming
as it does when nights are cool
anG days are warm. carries the
richest colorS. 1t is the summer
care that insures that the bushes
will go into the winter strong
and able to withstand freezing
temperatures without loss.
Rose bushes in this area must
be protected from the defoliating
diseases blackspot and mildew,
If they are to continue strong
and vigorous. This is best ac-
complished through a regular
busting or spraying program.
The all-purpose dusts available
from the Potomac Rose Society
and from the many manufac-
turers are adequate for the Job,
bat they must be applied regu-
larly and carefully to be etfec-
tive. Whether a dust or a spray
is used it must be applied to the
undersides of the leaves to de-
stroy the disease spores before
they enter the leaf.
When growth is rapid anc
showers are frequent the busting
or spraying program will need
to be applied At weekly intervals
or perhaps more often.
When summer heat slow.
down the growth of the rose anc
when showers are infreouent the
interval may safely be increased
perhaps TO 10 days or even two
weeks The main point is to keeE
the foliage protected at all
times.
Mulch Is a Must
The roses we grow in this
area, and that includes most
kinds, do not thrive and grow in
hot soils, hence a mulch is OF
first Importance to the summer
growth of the rose. The kind OF
material with which to mulch
the roses is unimportant, the
thing to do is mulch. Whether il
is peat moss, buckwheat hulls
chopped hay, sawduSt. ground
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-15

corncobs, or some other ma
terial. it should be applied
thickly enough to be effective
both in preventing loss of
moisture and weed growth, as
well as to act as an insulator.
Peatmoss is usually effective
at one inch depths. while chop
ped hay and corncobs might
need to be or 3 inches thick.
If it were not for the cost of
these materials we might we'll
put them on to a depth of 3 or
4 inches.
Remove Weeds, Stir Soil
AT the time of spreading the
mulch the weeds should be
removed and the soil stirred-at
least to break up the crust.
1t is also advisable to spread
a good application of fertilizer.
The kind of fertilizer is not too
important, although some rose
lobbyists will swear one kind or
another is the best they have
ever tried. The ordinary 5-l0-5
mixture is most widely used.
If the mulch material is
largely cellulose a heavier APP
plication is desirable to keep the
bacteria that cause the mulch
to decompose from taking nitro
gen from the soil. Also, if one of
the slow acting nitrogen fer
tilizerS is used a heavier appli-
cation is advisab to produce
the strong growth that is de-
sired. A medium application is
2i2 pounds per 100 square feet
of bed heavy application
would be from 4 to pounds.
Iron Deficiency Is Common
Roses in this area quite fire.
quently show signs Of chlorosis,
iron deficiency. This may be
counteracted through the addlr
ton of one Of the forms of iron
sold for thefpurpose. There are
several on the market. Chellated
iron 8 available through the
garGCl supply houses and may
safely be )plied to the soil.
The Potomac Rose Society is
supplying its members with a
privately purchased stock of
Nu-Iron, a trade-name product.
Summer pruning OF roses in
order to produce show quality
bloom for the fall shows is a de-
slrable practice. In way it is
much the same type of pruning
as should be given to the bushes
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-15

to take it's place. If this deci-
sion is reached early enough it
will not be apparent at the time
of blooming
Until the Japanese beetle sea
son is past we will have difficulty
in getting perfect blooms for in
Goor use unless they are cut in
the bud stage. This is because
the beetles fly to the opened
flowers and crawl inside thus
avoiding contact with the poiSonS
with which we usually cover the
foliage II time permits DDT
or Methoxychlor could be busted
into the opening flowers each
day which would in most cases
prevent the beetle damage. How
ever. it is easier to cut the
blooms before they begin to open
and take them indoors.

THIS 1868 QUARREL was
between a Gen. Lawrence,
United States minister to
Costa RIGA, and Baron Kus-
serow, secretary of the Ger
man legation. They met at
Bladensburg, took their places,
and fired. Both missed.
They patched up their diff
enceS and rode back to Wash
ington. The only casualty
was Gen. Lawrence, who lost
his Government job because
of the duel.
But before the code duello"
became a thing of the past in
the Washington area, at least
three men died in duelS at
BladenSburg, and many more
were injured.
One of the most famous was
Commodore Stephen Decatur,
killed in a duel March %,
1920, with Commodore James
Barron, after a disagreement
stemming from their Navy
careers.
The dispute that called first
attention to the Bladensburg
dueling ground also was a
fatal one.
1t was between Gen. Armi-
stead T. Mason, former Vir-
ginia Senator, and Col. John
NJ. McCarty of Leesburg, Va.
The dispute involved the lat
ters right to vote in an cleo
ton.
Col. McCarty tried to turn
the quarrel aside by proposing
preposterouS terms. He sug-
geSted that the two Jump
together from the top of the
Capitol; that they fight stand
ing on a barrel of gunpowder,
or that they meet hand-to-
hand with dirkS.
But Gen. Mason wouldn't
be put aside, and they met
finally = with muSkets - at
Bladensburg on February 4,
1919. Mason was killed and
McCarty seriously wounded.
At ten PAGES, with long mus
ketS, they couldn't miss.

A District policeman, charged
with conduct "prejudicial to the
department" while ticketing the
car of a German diplomat, today
denied before a Police Trial
Board that h had been drinking
on duty.
DR.. Hans C. Lankes. Second
Secretary of the German En-
bassy. in statements made the
day Of the incident. March II,
said Pvt. Thomas j. Egan had
been drinking.
Pvt. Egan denied that he had
a drink after he went on duty
at 8 am. but said. II had a
drink at 2 O'Clock in the morning
but nothing after that"
The. policeman said he was
walking his beat in the 5000
block of M street NV when he
noted the diplomats car double
parked. Pvt. Egan said he blew
the horn on the vehicle in an
attempt to attract the attention
of the owner. He said he then
wrote out a ticket for the traffic
violation.
The officer said Mr.. Lankes
then came out Of a store to the
car and protested. contending he
was immune from arrest because
he was a diplomat.
The officer said Mr.. Lankes
then returned to store to pay
for some keys he was having
made, but left the motor of his
car running after pulling it into
a parking space next to the curb
The officer said he opened the
door and was turning of the
