It’s a Hard Job
to Make Lawn
Without Appeal
But Some People Manage to
Arrange Decorations in
Defiance of Good
Taste.
If It seems just about impossible to
make a garden or lawn ugly and yet
some people are able to manage it.
The particular specimen of bad taste
that distresses most of us Is the
placing of a large urn exactly in the
center of a small bare lawn. And
some way this urn Is always tilled
with brick red geraniums and cerise
petunias, the two unhappy types of
plants usually allowed to die Ti lin
gering and straggly death, through
lack of water. Why will they do it?
If one likes urns, and they are al
\va> s so attractive in the right set
ting, why not place a pair of them
at the foot of the steps? That is a
somewhat usual arrangement, but at
least it is always good. There, they
may appropriately, hold either plant*
or small tree*.
Arranging the Garden.
In a large garden so many interest
ing possibilities open up for charm
ing vistas, unexpected nooks, and pic
turesque arrangements of both plants
and garden furniture. Pathways lead
lug one curiously about and then
suddenly showing a quaint lumpy old
stone bench just around the corner,
where one may rest and read or med
itate—well such a pathway Justifies
its existence. And if a small ravine
must be crossed, a decidedly decora
tive bit is a small stone bridge cov
*>red with vines or flowers.
In the formal garden the sundial
a may be centrally placed, with great
I dignified pergolas lining either side
*•; its special plot. And at the ex
treme end of such a vista a summer
-.use of light looking lattice work
whimsically crowned with curious
weather vane, may invite one to sit
and think awhile.
Terraced Gardens.
Terraced gardens afford many op
portunities for the imagination to play
with. One I have in mind has a brick
wall running along at an even rate
until it suddenly rises. There one
is well awarded for looking over and
beyond. At his feet he will find a
beautiful little pool. In the midst of
ferns, vines and fllowers a laughing
cupid on a pedestal lets a' tiny jet
of water splash into the pool below.
Another opportunity in a terraced
garden Is an arrangement of steps to
descend to the lower levels. One would
journey a long ways to see one par
'icular bit. an opening in a hedge
arched over with the delicate blooms
nf roses. And there below one would
find circular stone steps leading away
to other romances. But before one de
parts, he will have to stop Just a mo
ment to admire a pair of urns almost

hidden In the foliage at Ihe foot of
the rose vines.
Some Picturesque Terracing.
A terrace of brick open to the sky
and all out-of doors, affords a pleas
ant background for stone furniture
with many possibilities for unusual
arrangement. A great fish pond dec
orates one such terrace—a stone bowl
of great size making the pool. At
one side stands a stone table with
carved legs like the Italia tables we
know- so well. At the other sid%
stands a companion piece with similar
carving only tjiis latter is an inviting
bench. Against the brick wall of the
house, filling a useful place, is an oval
jardiniere of large proportions, this,
too, on carved legs. From the jardi
niere climb pretty vines to decorate
and hide the brick wall.
From the dining room of another
house one may look out toward the
owner's special joy. an octagonal pool
with a fountain playing in the center
of it. A grass path travels about
the pool and is outlined with flower
beds in flowing colors. ^lust beyond
forming a background to the fountain
is a balustrade of stone, hemming a
flagstone court. Here one may rest;
If one will, on a low stone bench one
placed at either end of the flags.
And one could stay some time en
joying the prospect, for fat squab
bling ducks are splashing and playing
about In the pool.

British Import
of Linoleums
Starts Dispute
American Economist Calls Re
cent Imported Linoleum
Case “a British Dump
ing Scheme.”
In commenting on the recent con
troversy over lines of Imported Brit
ish linoleums, which was settled by
the government in favor of the Im
porters, the American Economist char
acterizes it as "A British Dumping!
Scheme.’1 t'nder this caption, in Its
Issues of April 6 the publication says
editorially: ( j
“Through our trade connections wi i
learn that British manufacturers of
figured linoleums h-ve concocted a
new scheme for the dumping of their
goods on our markets. These foreign
manufacturers hnve organized ‘Im
porting companies' in the T'nlted
States and to these companies they
'sell' their goods, invoicing them pre
sumably at British market value and
paying the duty on that ba*!». That
looks' all right on the face of It. but
the scheme practiced constitute*
dumping' pure and simple.
I nderaell l\ S. Firm*.
"After the linoleum* have been
landed and have cleared the custom*,
the dummy companies proceed to *ell
them at whatever price they can get,
underselling the domeatlo manufac
turers. because the duty on linoleum*
and floor oilcloth* la not lufficiently
high to he protective. The money re
ceived from these sale* Is tranirnltted
to the real owner*, the British manu
facturers, the 'import companle*' be
ing simply aalarled employe*.
"The Idea of the British linoleum
manufacturers is, of course, to drive
the American manufacturer out of
business In times of business depres
sion that might easily he done, but
thanks to the unparalleled prosperity
of the country at the present time,
American consumers have been very
liberal buyer* of the domestic product.
Ij»w Violation, Claim.
"The British practice In question Is
not only a violation of our dumping
law and may be dealth with thereun
der, but It la a violation of aectlon
316 of the tariff of 1922. That section
provides:
