The eight men now working
the detail were hired with money

/ In agreeing that eight more
linen should be hired. the agency
asked that the motorcycle officers
lbe additional employees and not

District Commissioners to budg-
let $4,000 for advertising - IL
this amount can be spared

lat least for the time being, re-
quests Of the Capital Transit
Co. and the A. B. & w. Transit
ICo. to look into the possibility
Iof subsidizing losses they say
resulted from servicing fringe
lots.
A subcommittee OF the agency,
in q majority report by B. Allen

should be subsidized for a short
period, but not as a matter of
practice. The subcommittee also
urged that no more fringe lots
be set UP until the program has

lowed In pruning the Douglas fir
It Is common practice to cut tht

Douglas frs do not shed theil
needles so easily and there i,
something attractive about theil
long limbs, which should hans

Best Remove Big Ones
It is seldom practicable to cut
an evergreen so severely that il
has very few needles. Most ol
them will in time make new
growth and be presentable. but
few gardeners are willing to put
up with the appearance during
this period. Thus, when 9
planting is too large to be at.

remove the trees with an ak anc

and shrub borders. The prun.

They must be clipped each sea-
son. A few will need two prun-
ings in order to keep them trim
in appearance. Other rules, such
as having the top narrower
than the bottom, also apply
Most of the evergreens make
good hedges although we seldom
see them used for this purpose
with the exception of the hem
lock and the arborvitae.

Shade and ornamental flow
ering trees can add much to the
beauty and comfort Of the small
property.
One should select kinds of
trees that will preserve a har-
monious balance of form in
keeping with the design of the
house and space limitations. But
also it is well to keep in mind
that ability to thrive in the
Washington climate is a primary
consideration.
Adverse soil conditions often
can be corrected. For example,
the installation of drains, addi-
ton of sand or organic matter,
use Of top soil, change in grade
and use of fertilizer can help to
correct poor soil conditions.
Ease of maintenance, rate of
growth, tidiness, and relative
freedom from pests also inf1u-
ence the choices. Some compro-
misses must be accepted. The
species and varieties here will
provide adequate shade and at
tractive bloom that will add to
the comfort and beauty of the
small property.
Examples of all of the species
named in the following discus
sion may be seen in the area.
The list is not exhaustive, and
many species and varieties not
mentioned will grow well here.
Dogwood Is Outstanding
Among the smaller, Towering
ornamental trees the dogwood
(Cornus florida) is outstanding
The light-red or pink -flowered
variety is a selection of the. ma
tive white -fiowered species COM
mon in the woods. The attrac-
tive white or pink-to-red bracts,
which surround the small
greenish yellow flowers, expand
before the leaves in mid-spring
Leaves of dogwood commonly
turn brilliantly red in autumn
The red berries, which ripen in
autumn, also brighten the fall
garden until birds pick them
Dogwood will grow in full sun
or in shade. Flowers are usually
more abaundant on plants ir
full sun than on shaded plants
Plants in full sun need a mulch
of an inch or two of peat or leai
mold and may need heavy wa
tering once a week during hot
dry weather.
Dogwood thrives in we'll
drained soil, languishes on wet
poorly drained sites. 1t cannot
be classed as rapidly growing
but with care even young plant.

By w. H. YOUNGMAN

Coniferous evergreens are
widely used in the Washington
area as foundation or specimen
paintings. Most Of them soon
loutgrow their space and need to
| be removed, largely because the
owners neglect to prune them
regularly. Only the dwarf varie-
tiles which are not too widely
planted, have a comparatively
long life in the average founda-
ltion planting.
The arbovitaes, false-cypress,
hemlock, spruce and juniper
which are rather rapid growers
need to be pruned each season.
We should prune the ever
greens to keep them compact
and attractive. rather than thinly
foliaged. Whenever confer
lacks moisture or plant food,
or is infested with spider mites,
or is in an unfavorable situation,
lit will shed its interior needles
giving the plant an appearance
of being thin and unhealthy.
This past fall, following a pro-
longed period of drought. many
of the evergreens were covered
with brown needles. Early fall
pruning might have prevented
this condition, and certainly
watering would have been most
helpful.
Pruning to avoid loss of needles
might well be a major consid-
Grafton, but avoiding the expense
of replacing the evergreens would
seem the more important reason
for the annual care.
Can Prune at Will
Evergreens may be pruned at
almost any season Of the year.
The periods Immediately before
the new growth appears is gen.
orally accepted as the prefer
able time. This. because the
Ipruning cuts are soon hidden by
the new growth. In this area
the evergreens start to put out
new growth late in March or
early April. Quite frequently
there is a second period of
growth in the early fall, usually
following the beginning of the
fall rains. However, this period
is more variable and difficult to
forecast.
The actual operation of prun-
ing such evergreens as the arbo-
vitae, juniper, hemlock and
Ifalse-cypress consists of cutting
back the twigs to a fork or a side
leaf. They can be "shingled"
without attention to the fork,
but this gives them a rather
formal appearance which is not

will make a good showing in a
few years.
The large white flowers of the
Korean dogwood (Cornus kousa)
appear among the leaves about
one month after those of the
native dogwood. Dogwoods may
reach Is to 80 feet in height, but
commonly in the city is to 20
feet may be expected. Dogwood
dug from the wild commonly
fail to survive, but a high sur
Ivival rate may be expected when
properly grown nursery trees are
transplated. Early spring is a
satisfactory time for transplant
ing.
Flowering Crabapples
The towering crabapples are
now increasing in popularity for
street and yard planting. Their
abundant flowers in spring AND
colored fruits in autumn make
them dual-purpose ornamentals
They are generally small trees
less than 20 feet tall. A few
varieties have pendulous
branches and one is columnar
at least while young. Leaves are
commonly green, but some vari-
cites retain a reddish to bronze
color most of the summer. Their
flowers vary in color from white
through pink to purplish red
Many are fragrant. Double
flowered varieties are available
Buds of some white -howered Sc
lections are pink or red. Most
varieties flower ahead of the
lilacs.
Fruits of the Towering crab
apples vary from pea size to two
inches in diameter and in color
from green to yellow and bright
red. Some varieties. hold their
fruits well into the winter. The
fruits are eaten by birds.
The towering crabapples are
susceptible to several diseases
and insects that attack common
apple trees. But the pests can
be controlled by spraying and
other cultural practices. The
beauty of the trees compensates
generously for the attention that
they require.
The Towering crabapples grow
best in a fertile, well-drained
soil. On poorly drained sites

Foundation Evergreens
Need Regular Pruning

taken here and there until they
have been cut back several
inches will have about the same
effect and Is, Of course. less
tedious than carefully cutting to
"a fork or side twig. Regardless
of the method employed. prun-
ing should maintain the natural
outline of the confer.
Pines and Spruce
Pines are normally pruned in
the spring. when the new growth,
usually called candles, is well
developed. The pruning con-
sists Of cutting the candles in
half or even closer to the base.
This pruning is quite important
in keeping the dwarf Mugo pine
compact and attractive.
The spruce are seldom pruned
but it is advisable if they are to
be kept small enough to be USE
full in the foundation planting.
To prune a spruce, cut back to
the second or third pair Of buds
on the ends of the branches. The
buds are usually large enough
to be readily seen, although they
are on the sides of the shoots.
Removal of a part Of the top or
leader. as it is usually called,
necessitates training a new lead
er in order to maintain the nor
NAL appearance. Following the
cutting back Of a leader several
shoots will appear just below the
cut and one Of these should be
fastened to a short stick which
has been secured to the trunk
just below. In this way the
shoot will grow upright.
Much the same practice is fol-

at Calvert County Hospital,
Prince Frederick, Md.
Sergt. Vaughan was a 276-
pound 6-foot pinch policeman,
who often recalled how he wound
up at a police callbox holding
two suspects by the scuff of the
neck after knocking their heads
together. Characters whose
names were prone to turn up on
the police arrest book nicknamed

because when he shot. he didn't
miss" He also had an eagle eye
when it came to digging out
suspects.
Arrest on Run
There was the time a lookout
went out for a colored man
wanted for murder. Sergt.
Vaughan figured the suspect
would head South over the Four
tenth street bridge. So he
buzzed there on his motorcycle
and found the man running
down the sidewalk. He drove
up beside the suspect. With one
arm, he pulled him into the NOV
ing sidecar and had him hand
cuffed before the man knew what
had happened.
