gaining in popularity with the
attention given this interesting
house plant. Most gardeners will
prefer 1.-The Azalea Handbook"
by the American Horticultural
Society to the one by Hume. but
both are good. Equally good
books are available for most Of
the many different kinds OF
plants, shrubs, and bulbs.
It is not often necessary or
desirable to buy the latest
printed books to have useful
reference works. Many Of the
books written by Alfred Carl
Hotties of several years ago give
Iall of the basic information
needed about the various
species; their requirements,
propagation. and area Of adapta-
Ition. Liberty Hyde Bailey's books
are still the standard although
somewhat technical.
Disease Control Volumes
Gardeners interested in insect
and disease control who wish to
go beyond the excellent publica-
tons put out by the experiment
stations and extension services
will find Cynthia Westcott's
books helpful as well as very in
terestingly written. Still more
elaborate is Pyenson's Elements
of Plant Protection" Unfortu-
nately the books written in this
field are soon out Of date be-
cause of the rapid strides being
made in the development of syn
thetic insecticides and fungi
cides, not to mention the almost
daily changes in the herbicide
field.
We might make the same COM

When I was q boy. old man
Joe Bug Gollehorn used to tell
how the red fox got rid Of his
fieas.
According to Joe Bug. the red
fox would get a piece of moss and
hold it in his mouth. Then he
would back slowly into the river
until nothing but his nose was
out of water. The fleas would
crowd up toward his head. and
then finally they would jump
onto the piece of moss. Then the
fox would let go the moss and
it would take his fieas down the
river.
We never thought much about
that story then. Old man Joe
Bug used to swear he had watch
ed a red fox do this trick, but
we kids didn't take him seriously.
But now / find that old man
Joe Bug was right. And If you
don't believe him. I'll refer you
to the Encyclopedia Britannica,
Volume 8, Page 572.
Reginald Innes Pocock, F. L.
s., F. 2. S., F. r. A. l., and F. R.
s.. whatever that means, and
Natural History editor of The
Field and temporary assistant in
the Geological Department of the
British Museum. tells old man
Joe Bugs story. He says you
can't blame this trick of the fox
Ion instinct, but you have to adj
NIT that he is pretty smart, or
words to that effect.
Which brings up the question
|of why we were looking UP the
fox in the first place.
There was a discussion the
other day as to the relationship
between the red and the gray
fox.
Walter Flory, game warden in
Prince William County, said the
red fox is a member Of the cat
family and the gray fox comes
from the dog side Of the house.
He said the tracks Of a gray
fox look like dog tracks, but the
red fox will leave q cat-like track
in the mud.

January and February are
slack m onths for the home
gardener period in which he
normally spends much time
perusing the catalogs. However
the gardener will need. to 60 be-
yond the catalogs and learn
something about plant require
ments and areas of adaptation.
OF necessity few catalogs can
give much, if any, space to such
information. This leaves it up to
the gardener to dig out the nee
essary facts. The question is
where to get them.
"The Star Garden Book" COW
ers only the major plant groups
and the more important, per-
haps commonplace varieties of
each. Beyond this source the
gardener will want general ref
erence books. especially If he is
a beginner of rather limited ex-
perience. There are a number of
good reference books covering
the general aspects of gardening
1.-THE Wise Garden Encyclopedia,
edited by E. L. l.. Seymour. is a
standard in this field. '"Taylor's
Encyclopedia of Gardening" is
another excellent reference book.
There are several others which
may fill some special need. but
for the most part are lacking
some of the things to be found
in the two mentioned above.
Specialized Books
As the gardener begins to
develop a special plant interest
he will be interested IN the
books devoted to that particular
field. Whether it be perennials.
and there are several good books
on perennials, wildflowers, roses.
azaleas, hollies. camellias, or
any other field there are excel
lent reference books that cover
everything from the history OF
the group to the modern cul-
tural practices. For example, H.

Police Brace
For New Riots

BARLETTA, Italy. Mar. is Up.
Reinforced police units braced
for possible new violence today
in tense Southern Italy, where
jobless workers have spanked
bloody food riots.
Two men were killed and q
wounded in a clash yesterday in
this Adriatic port city of $4,000
persons.
Police endorsements also were
ordered to the nearby towns Of
Andria and Corato. New out
breaks were feared there.
Food Scarce, Expensive
The bleak, poverty-stricken
area has been hard hit by Italy's
worst winter of the country. Up
to 80 per cent of the crops have
been destroyed and thousands of
persons have been thrown out of
work. Food has become scarce
and expensive
The Communists are strong in
this region and have been spur
ring protests and demonstrations
among the unemployed for
weeks.
Rioting broke out at Barletta
after 1000 demonstrators gath
cred before a warehouse where
a new shipment of food had just
been received. A police jeep was
overturned and burned.
II Policemen Wounded
Police called in reinforcements
and the crowd swelled to about
5000. officers hurled tear gas,
the demonstrators replied with a
barrage of stones. Police then
opened fire and the rioters fed.
Seventeen of those wounded
were police officers.
The outburst brought a clamor
in the chamber of deputies in
Rome and Communist threats of
a general strike Friday.
Less serious riots have flared
in many parts of Southern Italy
in recent weeks.

Heart Experts Ask
Dutu on SMOKING

NEW YORK, Mar. IS (P.-
The American Heart Association
reported yesterday that study
shows much greater knowledge
is needed before any conclusions
can be drawn" on whether smok-
ing is a cause of coronary heart
disease.
1T is believed" the report
added, that if smoking plays
any part in the causation of
heart disease, it is only one of
many factors
The report was made by a
committee appointed by the as
ISOLATION in 1854 to review and
appraise scientific evidence relat-
ing smoking to heart disease.
The report notes that the only
definite scientific evidence on the
subject involves adverse effects
of smoking on persons with dis
eases of the peripheral blood
vessels of the arms and legs. such
as Burgers disease; and on "a
small percentage of persons with
known disease of the coronary
. arteries"

Killed Amendment
This knocked out an amend
ment adopted by the subcom-
mittee on the previous day on
motion of Representative Buck
ley, Democrat of New York. The
Buckley amendment. providing
for reimbursement of States. had
previously reversed a tentative
vote against reimbursement.
The subcommittee yesterday
agreed on section relating to
regulation of weights and dimen-
sions of vehicles using the high
ways. Mr.. Fallon'S original bill
had provided that such State
regulations made prior to March
/ this year would govern We
hicle weights and dimensions
for purposes of the highway pro-
gram. The committee changed
this to extend the deadline to
the date Congress finally enacts
the bill itself.

Chairman Fallon. Democrat OF

tee nevertheless expects to COM
plete action within a few days
on construction and administra-
tive provisions of the measure.
This would enable the Subcom-
mittee next week to start review
ing the revenue-raising section
approved March. 2 by the Ways
and Means Committee, he added.
Early April-Maybe
There were no predictions as
to how soon the overall bill Will
reach the House floor, although
early April now seems the most
likely time. The Eisenhower adj
ministration as well as Demo-
cratic congressional leaders re-
gard a highway building meas
ure as one of the legislative items
most likely to succeed at this
session. But there are still large
areas of disagreement over fea-
lures that should or should not
be part of the program.
With comparative speed the
Ways and Means Committee
provided a bill to obtain about
1887 billion over 16 years by
raising taxes on gasoline, diesel
fuel, tires, tubes, tread rubber
buses and trailers. A compro-
mise voted at the committee S
final session on the bill would
levy a special fee on vehicles

The Public Works Subcommit-
tee, however, has disputed, de-
liberated and revised much
longer than Mr.. Fallon expected.

bill.
