Garden Lights Adorn
Areas at Small Cost :

buried cable. Wooden or metal
strips or a layer Of gravel may
be used to cover the cable and
give the warning.
The second group Of lights
are those which serve more OF
less seasonal functions such as
the Christmas tree lights,
those that will Illuminate the
barbecue pit or the out-of-
doors fireplace.
Game courts and swimming
pools also come into this Sec
ond group as well as the sea-
sonal flower displays Of the
lobbyist.
Such lights might easily be
serviced by having well-placed
permanent outlets to which
the weather-proofed cables can
easily be attached whenever
needed. This is eminently more
satisfactory than to have long
cables strung out from the
house. Flood lights. spots and
others that spread their beams
over a considerable area are the
ones that service these needs.
Some carry considerable wat
tagetage, others only medium.
They should as a rule be placed
away from where people will
be sitting and where feasible
use those that do not attract
bugs.
The. third group Of lights,
those that are used to glamor-
ize the garden and to give it
a dual role are mainly the
spots and. colored lights-the
mercury vapor, etc. They Gre
ate strange or unusual effects
and are well worth the time
and effort Of a top-notch in
stallation.. A garden vista from
the picture window, for exam
pie, is easily accomplished with
well-placed lights (indoors and
out) so that at night the gar
den is an integral part Of the
view. In this latter category
help may be solicited from the
Home Service Department Of
PEPCO.

Some look upon garden lights
as q luxury, others consider
them important to safety in
the garden; and there are
those who feel they not only
make the garden more attrac-
tive but actually extend its use
fulnesS. There is little doubt
but that many are adding
lighting to their gardens for
one of these reasons. Generally
speaking the installation Of
garden lighting Is today much
less costly than formerly, and
there is q larger array of fix
lures from which to choose.
Garden lights might well be
grouped into two or more seq
|mentS-thoSe that are needed
for the safety Of folks who use
the garden; those that extend
its usefulness; and possibly q
third category Of those that are
needed for special displays.
The must group or preferably
those that are n ee d e d and

that mark the paths, that

Possibly to this group we
might add some to mark the 10

connections for sprinklerS.
These lights for the most
part are the mushroom" type
with stout stands that hold q

Hand and Eye Skills
Lately I have endeavored to
write about the way arrange
mentS come into being, about
the ideas. the impulses, the
currents which stimulate to
action. In order to be q good
flower arranger one must also
learn to use the hand, deity
and with skin. There are
m C h anics Of construction
which one must master by
doing and learning. The hand
must become as delicate as Q
surgeons and again as robust
as a plumbers. 1t must know
how to fit and split and
splice. Balance must spring
from the fingertips.
Your eye is as important as
the hand. You must see. YOU
must try to see things that
you miss when you think you
see. You must try to see light
and dark as forces, the diff
ferent values Of color which
are countless, you must see the
the shapes and patterns
within your material. how they
react to each other to build
up contrasts and groupings.
You must see movement and
rhythm when all is physically
still and you must learn to see
deliberately the substance and
the volume Of your material.
Work From the Heart
With pleasure and a soft
warm heart you must then use
all these gifts which you &C
quire, because you must work
from your heart.
Even when your heart is not
in it, you may do some thing
Skillful or clever, but mark my

there will be no rapport. It
will be good decoration per-

Whot to Sow

Now is the time to sow seed
Of the hardy perennials and
biennials. If husky plants are
to be ready for transplanting
to the border in late September
or early October. The seeds may
be sown in either q small pre-
pared bed out-of-doorS or in
pots or flats: A good soil mix
ture is helpful but it is far
more important that the seeds
be sown in 3 sterile media as
q protection against the damp
ing-off disease. The soil may
be treated with formaldehyde
dust, with bichloride Of mer-
curry, hot water. or some other
material but sphagnum moss Is
readily available and is ideal
material in which to start seed.
A half -inch.deep layer over
the soil will do the job.

Beetles vs.. Roses

( Japanese beetles may be kept

the heart of the rose each
morning with q gentle puff of

results with far less work may
be had by cutting the roses

Rain and more rain has made
it difficult to keep q protective

However, it is important that

were DR.. Francisco Alabau
Trelles, a former justice of the
Cuban Supreme Court and
president of the Cuban Judici-
ary Association in Exile, and
Silvio Sanabria, president of
the Havana Bar Association in
Exile.
He quoted DR.. Alabau Trelles
as telling him, Castro and his
followers have betrayed the
present government in Cuba,
have betrayed the revolution,
the people and the country. in
Stituting a wholly Communistic
dictatorship"
Mr.. Galiher quoted Mr..
Sanabria as saying Castro had

men.

US. Sues AIa. County For
Jim Crow Vote Practices

Montgomery (ANP) - The Gov
eminent filed a civil rights case in
United States Middle District
Court last week, accusing Bullock
County officials of discriminating
against prospective Negro voters.
Attorney General William p.
Rogers, who has since resigned,
said the complaint attacked the
system of "vouching" for voters
used widely in the South.
The suit names the State of Ala
bama and Julius P. Thompkins,
John w. Guthrie Jr., and Kettle
S. Yon, Bullock County registrars
The complaint charges discrim-
nation through the boards prac-
tice of requiring applications for
voting registration to be supported
by two persons previously regis
tered as voters.
The Justice Department said
1900 white voters were registered
in Bullock County at the present
time, but only five Negroes. There
are approximately 1900 persons of
voting age in the county, including
5000 Negroes and $500 whites.
