Luwn Feeding

Fall Is the recommended sea-
son for the major feeding of
tn lawn. Spring feeding seems
to encourage turf grass dis
eases and so it is important
to give the grass a generous
application of plant food. If
the slower acting, non-burning
type of turf food is used there
is less likelihood of extra heavy
growth shortly after feeding,
than is normal after applying
the usual type of 5-10-5 or

Take cuttings of house plants
or other kinds that are not
winter hardy such as coleus
and geraniums. These are
rooted and then potted. They
will serve as house plants over
the winter and should then be
planted out in the spring.
House plants that may have
been planted out last spring
should again be replanted
and be ready to bring into the

Clean up and remove old

and the planting of dormant

December. Many do not plan
to plant tulips and the Dutch

are planted the last week IN

writes that the gardeners have
an excellent salad material in
their daylilies. The petals or
the whole flower may be used
in a tossed salad to add flavor
and color. Since most daylily
flowers last but a day, the gar
dener can enjoy them all day
long in the garden, then pull
them just before they fade and
enjoy them as a delicious salad.

Last weeks good rains and

that the gardener can turn
from watering to the fall
chores. In the Washington area
it is normal to have rather
long pleasant period in the
fall in which to do much
planting and preparation for
the spring garden. Not only Is
it important to do most Of the
lawn work, but it is also well
to remember that in the fall
we prepare for spring flowers.
The setting out Of bulbs and
plants this fall will insure

Bulbs

Now that bulb supplies are

kinds and varieties that will
produce a desirable display
next spring. Some will want to
start out with the earliest
bloomers to insure bloom in
late winter or earliest spring
snowdrops, winter aconite,
glory-of -the-snow, Iris reticu-
lata, etc. To these we should
add a liberal planting of GRO

The Senate Committee added all

was cut to $500 million.

Members Of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee say there are
several good reasons why they
must frequently raise the House
figures In money bills.
The most important is that,
with all these bills originating in
the House. many Of them do not
reach the Senate until late in
the year, after Congress has
passed new laws requiring addi-
tional expenditures.
When these new laws are signed.
the Budget Bureau sends directly
to the Senate Committee estimates
to be added to appropriation bills
already passed by the House.

Senator's point out that If It
were possible for the Senate to
originate half Of the appropriation
bills in January while the House
is working on the other half,
Congress could avoid long-drawn-
out fall sessions.
They also point out that. under
such a procedure. the House also
would get some Of the last-minute
estimates that now come only to
the Senate. and the House would
have to do some Of the raising
in money bills.
But there appers to be no way
in the foreseeable future for the
Senate TO break down the adher-
ence Of the House to its conten-
ton that the Constitution re-
quires all appropriation bills to
start in the House.

A member of the chamber of

In the ensuing years his bus
mess experience ranged from

Then. in 1859, President Eisen-

Washington. He became a spe-

Herter wrote him: II have never

tails, but the implications in the

Mr.. Scranton was a reluctant

1t was about this same trip with
Mr.. Roosevelt that the little things
keep coming to mind. We heard,
for example, that FDR took great
delight in bluepenciling our copy
which had to be transmitted by
radio from an escort cruiser to
shore via FDR's cruiser. He es-
pecially liked to correct nautical
terms.
Then there was that age-old
ceremony the Navy puts on in
crossing the equator. Those who
have never crossed this imaginary
line are called pollywogs. To be-
come a shellback you have to pass
a rough initiation, including tank
duckings and standing on electri-
cally-charged metal in your bare
feet.
FDR missed most of the rough
part, but word got around he
would have taken the ducking in
six feet Of water if the secret
service had not interviewed.
The formal citation served on
pollywog Roosevelt to appear be-
fore the August presence of Nep-
tunus Rex, ruler of the raging
MAN," charged him with sailing
the high seas for years without
showing his allegiance to King
Neptune; also with taking liberties
with the piscatorial subjects of
Neptune's realm.
Mr.. Roosevelt aggravated the
latter crime, the charge read, by
stuffing fish with sawdust and
placing them in a position of eter-
nal disgrace in a national museum.
White House Fish Room
Whoever wrote that phrase ma
tional museum" must have meant
the White House because a big,
NANCY tarpon used to hang near
the Presidents office. 1t is still
called the fish room" by news
men, although the fish is no longer
there.
With the humorous, little things,
a White House reporter must also
come in contact with the tragic,
depressing events-for example,
those known in the trade as death
watches" 1t fell to my lot to be
on such watches when former
Presidents Taft and Woodrow Will
son, and 16-year-old Calvin Coo

it was not death watch. 1t came
too suddenly.

tain barbecue where Roosevelt was
expected but was long overdue.
Then a frantic telephone call
from the presidential switchboard
ordered us to hurry down to the
press secretary's cottage.
On the short trip down the
mountain the three of us debated
what it could be about. The two
main guesSeS we're that the war
was over in Europe or that F. D. r.
had been taken i'll.
1t wasn't long before we had
the answer-a terse announcement
from Secretary William D. Has
sett that shook world capitals.
