Assures You of
Brilliant Blooms
Weeding;, Watering and Dusting Are
llajor Problems. tart Early,
' and Keep Check.
Most annuals are in the ground
and well started by this time, and
the tendency is to think the job v.cll
done, and practically complete. Thii;
is far from true, however, and the at
tention you irive to your flowers from
this point on is what will determine
the floral beauty or lack of it which
will finally groom your garden.
It is a sad fact, but only too true,
that weeds grow faster than flowers
and there are usually considerably
more of them. To allow them to de
velop and crowd your flowers, tak
ing the moisture and soil foods which
they need, is a folly which only the
hoe or the hand can remedy. In short,
there is no round-about way to a
beautiful display cf flowers. A con
stant vigilance is necessary, but if
such action is taken immediately,
and the soil is kept loose and clean,
a weekly stirring will usually suf
fice, and the laborious job of trying
to catch up with a garden overrun
with weeds will not be felt.
ilost annuals are sown from seed
directly into the border or row, and
this condition necessarily means an
uneven, and usually thick, stand of
seedlings. Do not let them remain
for any length of time. Thinning out
in the rows not only adds to appear
ance, but is essential to the well
being if the flowers themselves. Most
annuals need considerable space in
which to grow. This varies from a
few inches for the Email sorts to over
a foot for the tall ones.
Make an effort to determine the
fertility of your soil, and just what
types a particular flower needs. Oft
times, soil conditions can be changed

"The most beautif ul thing in creation" is the Ameri
can girl, because of the superb classic beauty which
is hers when she has the talent for dressing in a
manner which sets off her physical perfection. Such

cutting their wheat early and allowing it to ripen,
in the shock rather than risk a wet harvest.
by adding plant foods, humus or
send. If your flowers, or certain cf
them, are not thriving, the chances
are they need an addition to the soil.
Moisture is an important factor.
Be sure that there is no lack cf it.
The best way to assure a good supply
is to give the whole garden a soak
ing ence a week. Daily sprinklings
make for shallow roots and weak
plants, and are definitely harmful
to plants in bloom. You should
water so that the deepest root has
sufficient moisture. A fine dust
mulch will then retain this surply
for a wefk or more.
Plant diseases are a bugaboo to
most amateurs, although insects and
other pests may be disposed of read
ily enough. When diseases appear,
it is best to pull up the stalks and
burn them; this will prevent spread
ing cf the disease among surround
ing plants, and to a great extent keep
it from being retained by the soil.
Cut back portions of flowers that
are growing out of proportion, and
with the tall sorts, stakes should be
constructed to protect them from the
winds.

Growing Revolt
Shaping Against
Brain Trusters
Nctics Served That Eills They Draft
Will Ee Closely Scrutinized
by the Congress.
The so-called "brain trusters" of
the administration at Washington
were given blunt notice by demo
cratic congressmen that the bills they
draft in the future will be put thru
a closely meshed legislative sieve.
Orders were issued by Chairman
Doughton that all departmental
drafts of legislation sent to the ways
and means committee hereafter
should be studied and redrafted by
the congressional legislative draft
ing service before introduction. Sim
ilar instructions were given certain
other senate and house committees,
where democratic chairmen intimated
they did not want their names on
bills providing for things they op
posed.
Senator Adams (d., Col.) said
there was a growing "revolt in con
gress" against "brain trusters' leg
islative drafts" because of "smoke
screen preambles" designed to "de
velop a constitutional basis" for the
bills. Adams added that since the
supreme court's NRA decision con
gress was making an especial effort
to simplify bilsl and to bring them
within constitutional limits.
Scrapped by Committee.
Doughton s orders came after his
committee, Secretary Morgenthau's
aides and SACA officials had a dis
pute over the department's new li
quor regulation bill to supplant
FACA, ended by the XRA decision
The committee scrapped the measure
providing for a setting up of a new
independent agency, and wrote its
own, putting the agency under the
treasury and allowing bulk liquor
sales over the secretary's objections.
It was when Harold N. Graves,
assistant to Morgenthau, told the
committee that the secretary opposed
bulk sales and having the agency
under the treasury that Representa
tive Vinson, democrat, Kentucky,
asked: "When did it ever come to
the point that congress could not
have something to say about what
the duties of the excretive branch of
the government should be?"
Members of the committee said all
future drafts of such legislation
would be completely revamped if
necessary. They pointed out that
they revised Secretary Perkins social
security bill.
Senator Adams said other commit
tees also were giving close revision to
bills drafted by administrative aides,
whereas in the first Roosevelt con
gress most "brain trust bills were
swallowed whole."
"It is an indication that congress
is asserting its legislative right.'"
Adams said. "I can see the disap
pointment of the brain trusters in
their eyes whenthe y see their brain
children kicked about."
OMAHA GIRLS SEEK INDIAN
Oklahoma City. Two Omaha girls
hitchhiked 700 miles to see a "real
Indian" and landed in a white
man's jail.
"All my life I've wanted to see a
squaw with a blanket and every
thing," confided Ruth Greenlund,
ID, to Officer Roberts.
"Cou grow 'em wild down here,
don't you?" asked Jerry Mickel, 18.
Roberts turned to a jail attend
ant. "Where's Rlackie Mabe?" he
asked. Cut Dlackie was on vacation,
ii. McKira is only one-four Cherokee.
The girls didn't think he looked "In
dian enough."
Then someone thought of the
wcarther worn squaw stationed for
many years on a busy downtown
corner.
"Huh," snorted Ruth at first sight,
"a cigar store Indian. We have those
at home."
" Yes, and ycu have a Chej-cnne
reservation at home, too," shot back
Roberts as he escorted the girls back
to ;ail and noticed parents.
