Dirty Highways
By Steed Evans
staff Reporter


Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin
yesterday formally opened the
southernmost leg of the Wash
ington National Pike from Rt.
% north of Rockville to the
Montrose road interchange
south of the city.
At the same time, county Off
Gals formally threw open the re-
cently-paved Montrose Road, en-
abling motorists to bypass Rock
vile.
The two roads are expected to
greatly reduce the flow of traf-
fic on East and West Montgom-
cry Avenues. Only those persons
with business in Rockville or
those who want to visit the city
will enter Montgomery Avenues.
Through trucks and interstate
travellers, long a bane to pedes-
t1'ian and cross vehicular traffic
will veer around the city on the
new roads.
Gov. McKeldin called the Ma
tional Pike the most beautiful"
of Maryland's highways. AT the
same time, however, he predicted
that the "unspotted, unsoiled, I'M
sullied" road next week will take
on an appearance all too familiar
in Maryland, as indeed in the ma
ton"
There will be-" he predicted,
"the usual weekly quota of trash
on this fine new highway"
He said the State Roads Com
mission yearly gathers over 5000
truck loads of trash from the
highways at an average cost of
$21 a load.
These are unServiceable, I'M
profitable and unproductive dol
lars" Gov. McKeldin said. This
is money that could have gone
into making our roads safer and
more comfortable to ride"
He urged all motorists to carry
containers for trash in their car.
He said state vehicles have been
provided with litter bags" to
serve as an example.
The Washington National Pike
was begun in February, 1850, just
south of Frederick. Work is now
being carried forward on the next
leg of the super highway which
will connect with old Ri. 240 at
Pook's Hill.
The new throughway will con-
meet with Old Georgetown Road
midway between Pook's Hill and
the Montrose interchange. The
big road will dive below Old
Georgetown Road. The inter
change will be of the trumpet"
type, according to state engineers.
Still further south, the Ma
tional Pike will go under an al
ready constructed bridge that will
carry Grosvenor Lane traffic.
The Pook's Hill interchange will
probably be second in size only
to the Kenilworth exchange just
east of the District line in Prince
Georges county
LIE. McCarl, engineer in charge
of this section Of Maryland, said
that the Pook's Hill exchange will
cost Close to So million 1t will
have six bridges and 2.15 miles
of curving roadways.

Planting Pit Key
To Tree Growth
On Home Grounds

The honheowner planting trees
can have his own soil bank if
he puts enough money and eff
fort into the ground work.
Such ground work, in reality,
is the planting pit. preparation
of which should cost more than
the tree itself.
An diversified pit properly
drained and generously back
filled with top soil, or even the
original subsoil literally mixed
with sphagunm peat moss or
other humous material, will get
the tree off to an excellent start.
For small trees, a pit some
2 feet wider than the maximum
root spread is advisable. But
there is no limit to the size or
depth of the pit. Only one pre-
caution: In actually setting the
tree, make sure it stands at APP
proximately the same grade
level as at the nursery. This
can be determined by the OBJ
vious growth line on the trunk.
With the exception of nitro
gen. subsoils usually contain
most of the elements needed to
sustain plant life and if liber-
ally mixed with humus, will serve
nicely as a growing media.
Nitrogen is considered the
most necessary element for sat-
isfactory plant growth. 1t can
be supplied easily with applica-
ton of a good fertilizer. Deep
cultivation of surrounding areas
virtually will insure the future
of new trees despite seemingly
poor soil conditions.

Cigar Box Will Provide
Bed for Many Seedlings

storage for the roots to absorb
as needed.
Avoid Competing
Below this layer will be plain
garden soil, unsifted and with
out peat moss or sand. Its
rather lumpy texture will help
prevent too much compacting
There must always be free cir
culation of both water and air
If you are using a fruit boz
for your needs. the spaces be-
tween the bottom boards will
be useful for drainage, although
it would be advisable to put q
layer of burlap over them tc
keep the soil from falling
through.
A cigar box is ideal for the pur-
pose. but it should be reinforced
with wires to withstand the pres
sure of the moist earth. You
also Will have to bore several
drainage holes in it.
Small boxes enable you tc
keep the different kinds OF
flowers separate and help in
treating their different rates Of
growth as required.
The seeds should be sown in
straight rows. one inch apart
Merely press in the smallest
kinds, but be sure the larger
ones are lightly covered. usually
about as deep as their diam
eter. The metal edge of a rule
is good for making the depres-
sions and a sheet Of tissue pa
per or newspaper will make a
good cover to prevent washing
out of the seeds when they are
watered.
Can Vary 10 Degrees
Ordinary room temperature,
or slightly less, is sufficient for
termination and a small drop
of 10 degrees or less--will do no
immediate injury.
After the plants begin to grow,
they need all of the sunshine
they can get. AS they start
stretching towards the light, it
will be necessary to turn the
boxes each day TO equalize the
growth. At this juncture. you
will want to put the plants in
the sunniest window of your
house, put don't forget to move
the boxes back from the cold
and drafts of the window at
night.
Should the plants begin to
crowd each other before they are
large enough to be transplanted.
you can cut off a few Of them
with manicure scissors. Leave
them where they fall so that the
roots of the others will not be
disturbed.

An old cigar box. or a cut
down milk carton can make any
man, woman or child a gardener
at least on a miniature basis.
Long before it is time to SOW
outside. the inside gardener can
have his seeds sprouting. At
first brush. the directions for a
window sill garden might seem
complicated. Actually. with a
little experience. you can work
out your own inside gardening
methods to suit your convenience
and the space available in your
house or apartment. Then, when
the weather is warm enough. you
I will have boxes of seedlings
ready for transplanting outside.
, Seeds need warmth and mois-
ture for termination and usually
they also need darkness. How
ever. the new Sprout needs no
food and can even do without
soil until it develops its true"
leaves-which are frequently diff
ferent in appearance from the
first ones to pop out.
For these reasons, the top
layer of the planting mixture
which you put into your cigar
box or milk carton can be an
easily purchased substance such
as vermiculite or sphagnum
moss. Sphagnum is much more
fibrous than peat moss and I'M
less you buy very fine form it
is a good idea to rub it through
a kitchen sieve.
Materials Are Sterile
Both of these materials hold
water like a sponge and can
give the small roots of the
sprouting seeds the support they
need. Being sterile they put
the sprouts in no danger of con-
tracing any of the killing dis
eases sometimes found in soil.
. The top layer can be only half
an inch deep and should be an
other half an inch below the top
of the box. This facilitates water
ing and gives the plants space
to grow under pane of glass
provided you want to seal of
your box.
Under the vermiculite. or
sphagnum. top layer, you can
put an inch-deep layer of your
real growing substance, composed
of the following:
Equal parts of good garden
loan, put through a kitchen
sieve to make it fine enough
for penetration by delicate roots;
sand to make the mixture porous
enough to let water drain

In other action, Supt. Hobart
M. Corning asked that the board
study, at its next meeting, a
plan to use surplus Air Force
uniforms, dyed a shade darker,
for cadet uniforms. Some schools,
it was explained, prefer the blue
uniform over the khaki one but
some parents have objected to
the cost of supplying a cadet
with blues.
Both types of uniforms now
are in use. Meanwhile, DR.. Corn
ing recommended that the Cadet
Corps adopt the blue uniform as
it's official uniform and asked
that schools now using the
khaki uniform have until Sep
TENDER. 1948, to make the transit
ton.
He asked. however, that ac-
ton on his recommendation be
deferred until the surplus uni
form plan has been thoroughly
explored.

best of him, and he defied Hitler.
But now he encountered the one
indomitable enemy: age.
He had a phenomenal memory.
and he had bad eyesight. All
his life he had committed scores
to memory, and he conducted
without a note in front of him
it was an accomplishment
which some audiences unwisely
expected other conductors to
manage there developed a
fashion for conducting without
scores.
But at the last couple of con-
certs-after a winter of some
remarkable performances-not
only his eyesight but his men,
DRY, too, failed. At rehearsals.
it was said. he was forgetting
parts of even the scheduled
Wagner numbers. At perfor-
mances he had to put on his
glasses. He took his place on
the podium, bowed, swung
around to his orchestra, sneaked
on the glasses surreptitiously,
and slipped them off again
before he turned to face the
applause.
He was not quite so clipper
in those last unhappy appear
ances. His step to and from the
podium was slower. He some
times leaned on the hip-high
rail that ran around the back
of his stand on the stage at
Carnegie Hall.
Born of Poor Family
But before this failure there
had been SO many extraordinary
triumphs. To millions of people,
Toscanini had come to mean
music.
Born in Parma, Italy, of a poor
tailoring family, he studied both
piano and cello in the con-
servatory of his native city. He
tried composing. too, but he kept
the results of that effort care
fully hidden.
By 1881 he was so distin-
guished a figure he could chal-
lenge the FasciSts. When he
refused to play their anthem,
a gang of DULLES attacked him
in Bologna. He quit both the
and Salzburg festivals
in defiance of Hitler--and to
show where his heart lay, he
helped start symphony orches-
ira in Palestine in 1886.
Besides his big home in River
dale. the Bronx. where he died
in his sleep Wednesday after
a stroke suffered New Years
Day. he had a house in Milan,
and liked to spend his summers
on Lake Maggiore. north of that

Associated Press Arts Editor

NEW YORK, Jan. Is (R.-
For half his long life conductor
Arturo Toscanini was associated
with music in this country.
He came here first in 1905
to conduct seven seasons at the
Metropolitan Opera. After tour
ing the United States with the
La Scala Orchestra of Milan
in 1921, he returned here in
1925 for a decade as conductor
of the New York Philharmonic
In 1886, when he was thinking
of retiring. he was persuaded
by the National Broadcastine
Co. to come here to lead an
orchestra to be created solely
for him-the NBC Symphony
For II years, including l6 OF
more weekly concerts every year,
he conducted this symphony
building it up and never relaxing
his severe discipline as he devel-
oped it into one of the worlds
top musical organizations.
Had Occasional Guests
Once in a while he had guests
on the podium. He was the first
to introduce to American audi
ences the highly talented young
Italian, Guido Cantelli, who lost
his life in a plane accident only
month ago. He also presented
here for the first time the mature
conductor Ernest Ansermet from
Switzerland.
But the NBC was his orches-
ira. and Toscanini was not
always satisfied at least unoffi-
cially-with substitutes on his
podium. Returning to it after
it had been in the hands of
someone he had not chosen, he
was known to tell his men he
had listened to a broadcast and
hadn't liked it. He would then
drill them even more relentlessly
until they were worked back
into the condition that satisfied
his exacting ideal.
He seemed TO be indestruc-
tible AS he grew old he let many
birthdays go by with his rehear-
sal and performance schedules
unchanged. At 83 on his tour
of the United States with the
NBC Symphony, he proved he
had the vim and nerve to match
anybody else's by taking a hair
raising ride in a ski lift in a
resort in the Rockies where the
musicians had a days rest.
Suffered Knee Injury
A few years before retirement
a knee injury obliged him to
cancel half a seasons con-
Quoting. He cut down the length
of other seasons. He gave his
final concert, an all-Wagner pro-
gram, in Carnegie Hall April 4,
1854. and walked off the stage
the picture of beaten man.
The Fascists couldn't get the
