You don't expect to find avant

the Library of Congress, but
then you don't expect to find
music like Henry Brant's Hero
glyphics' anywhere at all. But
to begin at the beginning.
Walter Trampler. the excellent
violist who is often heard at
the Library as an additional
member of the Budapest Quar-
tet, has put together a long
and unusual program of goth
century pieces for viola alone,
viola and piano, and viola with
of stage ancestral voices proph-
esying war.
Harold Spivacke. chief of the
Library's music division, asked
him to present it in the Coolidge
Auditorium. 1t was a highly en-
tertaining program, although
suppose that everything on it
was not to any one person S
taste, except possibly Mr.. Tramp
Iler's. ] found myself either
greatly interested or struggling
against slumber.
BY writing suite for a single
unaccompanied viola, Max Roger
insured his music against the
composers besetting vice-thick
and stodgy Instrumentation. The
E minor viola suite is work
of strength and Somber melodic
beauty. The two works that fol-
lowed. by Marge Richter and Ben
Weber. were to me entirely I'M
communicative, except for the
first movement of the former. a
stately and dissonant song. For
the rest, the music seemed undis-
ciplined and rather dull.
The Hindemith sonata is a
masterpiece-a big piece in the
grand manner, a virtuoso duet of

Azaleas may be set out at any

develops after Towering. Many
people select the azaleas while
in bloom so that they may ar

combinations and there is moth

Azaleas have very flbrous, COM

there is little shock to the plant
If care Is taken in the moving.
Always plant them in a we'll

ample supply of peatnfoss in the

is desirable to know what may

Zinnios Like Full Sun;
Don't Plant Too EorIy

The nice thing about zinnias
Is that you can hardly make
enough mistakes or have had
enough weather or soil to keep
them from blooming. But the
difference between the flowers
produced by a struggling plant
and well-grown one Is so great
that it certainly does pay to
know what to do to get the best
this fine plant has to offer.
In the first place, zinnias do
best In warm weather. so it is no
kindness to plant them too early
In the garden.
Even If the seeds do sprout
during a warm spell the little
seedlings that have to endure
chilly nights and cold soil be-
come hardened" or stunted in
the process and are slow to re-
cover even after the weather
warns up.
On the other hand, seeds
planted when both soil and night
air are reasonably warm sprout
quickly and plants grow at full
speed, rapidly passing earlier
planted rows and making better
all-around crops in the long run.
Best Not to Transplant
In the second place, Zinnias
do best when the seen is sown
where the plants are to remain.
While it Is possible to transplant
small seedlings successfully they,
too. 60 through q shock period
and recover slowly. while undis-
turbed seedlings 60 ahead with
out check.
Next, it is q good thing TO
remember that zinnias like most
ANIMALS enjoy full sun-not
shade. And zinnias are heat re-
sistant to an extreme, but are
not immune to drought. So don't
worry about hot weather, the
plants viii love it, but If the
soil becomes dry and the leaves
look gray and wilted in the
afternoon. give the earth a good
soaking around the base Of the
plants and watch how they re-
cover and put on new growth
Fine as Cut Flowers
zinnias make fine cut flowers
But there is a little trick here
too. Cut the flowers in the late
afternoon when the plants are
in slightly wilted condition
plunging the stems in water al
once. The foliage and petal:

LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
New TiIIer SimpIifies Gardening
BY JAMES BIRcHFIELD

Country life is beginning to
look up, what with the garden in,
the corn up and the countryside
in full bloom.
Thanks to the weather and our
new tilling machine. we are of
to the earliest gardening start
ever. And thanks again to the
early heat wave, we've got sweet
corn peeking up out of the
ground. And all this before the
first of May.
Because of our new tiller, we
didn't have to pillow the garden
this spring. That meant that we
could work up the part that got
dry the earliest, and begin get
ting the seeds in the ground.
If we had plowed. then we
would have had to wait until all
parts of the garden got perfectly
dry and work it all up at one
time. But with the tiller. it looks
like we may have licked the
weather.

is still much to do in the garden
including the planting of an
nuals as well as vegetables. OF
course, wedding and grass cut
ting take much time, but even
SO we should have more leisure
to enjoy the beauty of our
gardens. Insect and disease con-
troll should be started now If
we are to prevent the inroads
of chewing and sucking insects
and of diseases.
Dahlia Tubers
Those dahlia tubers still in
the basement are likely to be
sprouting unless the basement
is very cool. They may be
planted at any time now al
though 1t is best to wait a week
or two longer If the sprouts are
still small. Long sprouts that
are nice and green can be
rooted in sand and will produce
good plants in plenty Of time
for planting.
Dig a generous-Sized hole for
the dahlia tubers and put in
plenty of compost or peatmoss
If you would have them come
through the summer in good
condition for fall bloom. Mix
a handful of phosphate into the
planting soil. If 5-l0-5 or a SIM
liar fertilizer mixture is used it
should be thoroughly mixed with
the soil in the bottom of the
planting hole and then covered
with 3 or 4 inches of soil free
from fertilizer on which the
|tuber is then placed.
Protective Spraying
II the peach trees were not
sprayed last week end they may
be infested with the plum cur
culio. However. spray now in
hopes that they escaped this
pest. From now on the fruit tree
sprayings are preventative and
thus often enough to keep q
protective coating on the fruit
and foliage. A good sticker-
spreader Is needed to keep the
, spray from being washed Of by
spring showers.
Frost?
The almanac forecasts q frost
jim May. We hope this is a bad
l guess but believe it desirable to
keep a supply Of covers on hand
to protect tender plants should
a frost be forecast. The very
high temperatures Of a.week age

Senate Passage of Postal Workers Pay Bill Predicted

WASHINGTON, Sen. Carl son (R-Kan) predicted Saturday that Senate Democratic leaders will push thru a bill raising pay of the 5OO,OOO postal workers be- fore this session of Congress ends
 He said Republicans expect such move will be made in an effort to embarrass President Ei- senhower, who has announced strong disapproval of the bill.
 He told reporter he was sure it would not become law. How ever, if it is sent to the White House in time to force the Presi- dent to veto it before Congress adjourns, there would be an op- portunity to try to override the veto
 Eisenhower killed federal em- ploye pay bills in his first term, but not until after Congress had quit
 The House already passed last month by 379-38 vote, a bill raising the pay of the postal en- ployes S546 year. The annual cost would be about $28O million.
 The Senate Postoffice and Civil Service Committee, on which Carlson is senior Republican member, has approved a differ ent measure for the postal en- ployes.
 It would provide across the board increases of 715 percent plus temporary cost-of-living ad- justments running from $80 to $240 for workers in the bottom seven grades of the postal service.
 The annual cost of this is esti- mated at $270 million to $500 million

 This berry is used extensively because of it's excellent flavor and keeping quality and contains sufficient acid to keep without sealing whether raw or cooked and will not ferment.
 Included in the recipes are baked cranberries, marmalade, cranberry and banana jam; cram berry and carrot jam. It explains how the berries may be stored, raw sweetened; in cold water, dried and even an uncooked jelly.
