WHAT IS
'WITHOUT A
surprises and error is rampant.
.... Willy Tilly's pet cat "El
mer" has given birth to four
kittens. . . . Gertrude Stein
says she spent 40 years in learn
ing how to write Cy Giz-
ler says he reckons she overdid
It,. because it wa'n't wuth it. but
Cy is a cynic Shirley Tem
ple, "Our Little Girl," celebrated
her sixth birthday last week. . .
... A certain pet rooster in
South Salem is called "Jimmy
Cagney" A mother cat
with a New Deal complex strayed
into a corner at Les Newman's
store during the week, remained
for a time and departed perma
nently, leaving three nice fresh
kittens as payment for the rent.
.... Idle gossip might be termed
the common heard of conversa
tion. I reckon, were one inclined
to be verbally playful. ... A
new York court has ruled dur
ing the past few days that Wal
ter Wlnchell and the New York
Mirror must pay damages
amounting to between $25,000
and 130,000 for a bit of Win
chells brilliant " journalism". .
... I hear on the streets not
many friendly words for the pro
position to build the country's
chapest state capitol building in
Oregon Soda Is not an
entirely satisfactory substitute
for sugar in powdering dough
nuts, botxnistakes will happen Jn
the best-regulated of eateries. .
. . . An amateur economist es
timates that" 2500 doughnuts are
eaten daily in Salem, and gives
figures as to the dunkage and
the holage thereof, and alto
gether gives quite a good imita
tion of a "brain trust" and witb
pretty much as satisfactory re
sults, his deductions being of lit
tle practical value.
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
SUNDAY proved' an Interesting
day for me. I had the op
n.,ifw n wtait- n nnmhpr
of Salem gardens. And, by the
way, if any of you vant to see
a particularly lovely red maple
you might drive up on Court
street and take a look at the one
in the parking at 1467.
There always seems to be some
thing new in gardens. Sunday, I
found several new things in the
cosy stream-side garden of Vir
ginia Wells at 354 Wyett court.
A pink lupin I had heard about
was my excuse for invading the
Wells garden. The lupin was, too.
unusually lovely. It bad, so Miss
Wells told me, 74 flower stalks
on it. Always in search of- in
formation. I asked Miss Wells if
she had given it any special care.
New Vacuum Use
A year ago, she informed me,
the lupin had been one mess of
aphis. She had - tried several
sprays to no avail. Then she took
the vacuum cleaner, an electric
one, with the suvfcing attachment
to it and this took off every aphid
and none had returned since. An
other use Miss Wells had found
for the vacuum other than the
uses it was intended for, was
spraying. To spray with the vac
uum cleaner. Miss Wells uses the
attachment that was originally in
tended for cleaning rugs and
spraying for moth. It worked
beautifully in the garden, she in
formed me.
Her fertilizer was a peat moss
which had been used as a litter
in a poultry house.
A nicotine spray, and It must
not be old as nicotine deterior
ates, may be used for aphis. Py-'
rethrum added to the nicotine
halps made it more effective. A
spray of soft soap and quassia ex
tract is also good.
Flan Open House
May 19 ushers in a week -of
"open house" in the Cooley iris
gardens at Silverton. Rholin
Cooley and his father, C. J.
Cooley, are becoming well known
throughout the country for their
irises and the bearded iris will
be at their best this coming week,
they ' report. Among the new
sorts which will be found at the
Cooley gardens this year are the
yellow "Happy Days," "Califor
nia Gold" and "Chromylla," the
pink 'Ethelwyn Dubar," the
bronze "Trail's End" and the red
"Burning Bronze" and "Ethel
Pekham".
May 25 and 26, Miss Mabel S.
Creighton will have open house
at her columbine gardens near
Waconda, north o! Salem. Miss
Creighton. in showing her.yisi-
tors about her gardens, tells them
that columbines dislike lime and
also that columbines are true per
ennials and not biennials as so
many suppose. Correct care is all
that is needed to make a colum
bine live on and on.
And now to answer questions
which have come to me:
Queries Answeved
The new so-called rustproof
snapdragons are said to be a
trifle misnamed. "Rust resistent,"
growers tell me, would be more
appropriate. If your snapdragons
have been given to much rust and
you are planting the new ones In
the same place, you should spray
both the soil and the rustproof
little plants thoroughly with Bor
deaux in the beginning.
When the tiny beetg die down
soon after they appear above sur
face they are very likely affect
ed with a fungus disease. If you
plan to plant more beets, you may
find it very advantageous to
treat the seed and ground into
which the seed goes. To treat tb
seed, shake it around in agricul
tural red copper oxide, at the
rate of one-eighth of a teaspoon
to every ounce of seed. A small,
paper bag, held tightly together,
will do nicely for the shaking pro
cess. As soon as tne see a is
planted, dust the surface of the
soil with one-ounce of agricultur
al sine oxide to each square foot
of ground. Further- care should
be used that neither cut worms
nor garden slugs are eating off
the little plants. Slug baits and
poisons (which may be purchased
in commercial forms) placed very
near the roys of seedlings may
help prevent this.
Soot scattered along the rows
of garden peas, and sweet -peas,
will prove beneficial. i

TRUTH: IN ADVERTISING
Salem, Oregon
May 16, 1935
To the Editor:
Under the caption, "Mount to
ten how dishonest ds are
fought," The Statesman ot Thurs
day reports that Robert M. Mount,
manager of the Portland Better
Business bureau, will address the
Salem Ad club Friday and relate
his experiences in putting a stop
to "dishonest, unfair and rotten
advertising." Since I am not a
member of the local advertising
group and will not be able to hear
the address, I sincerely hope, that
along with the other commodi
ties of general utility, Mr. Mount
will extend the subject to Include
cigarettes and liquor.
Yesterday morning a cigarette
advertisement appeared in the
Oregonian that was about the
rankest thing I ever saw put out
with printer's ink. The salacious
artistic display accompanying the
ad was that of a half naked boy
and girl sitting together in the
sand with the boy', leg twisted
around hers in voluptous contor
tions while he performed the very
obliging masculine courtesy of
lighting her cigarette. There fol
lowed this a pack of hexa-hedral
lies, extolling these coffin nails
as "kind to your throat," build
lng for young people an athletic
body, etc., ad infinitum, ad nau
seum. Now. for a great news
paper like the Oregonion, or any
other kind, to thrust an iniquit
ous advertisement like that into
my home for my children to read,
that is the "unfair" part of it
To instill into their plastic minds
the corrupting heresy, that in
haling bushels of vitriolic cigar
ette smoke into their expanding
lungs, will build muscle and ro
bust bodies for them that is the
dishonest" part of it.
And- to print a salacious pic-
tare, such as this was, and make
these .boys and girls look upon it
whether they want to or not
that is the 'rotten" part of it.
Some ot these sweet days, in the
not far distant future, the de
cent, church - going, law-abing
and home -loving citizenship of
America, are going to organize
themselves into a military unit,
to fight the evils that are de
basing tho morals ot our chil
dren; and the first thing they
will do after taking np the ori-
flamme, will be to establish a
chain ot high - class newspapers
that d not carry liquor nor
cigarette advertisements, for the
selfish reason of enriching their
coffers with a few dirty dollars
at the expense of decency.
Allen O. Hess
CAPITOL WALLS
Editor the Statesman:
I wonder why it is that the
officials n charge seem so much
more concerned in demolishing
the remaining walls of the cap
itol building before any thin 5 can
be done to stop them, than in
finding out what the taxpayers
want in the matter.
I think the people would all
be better satisfied if they knew
that the majority were having
their wish than in the knowledge
that just a small group, who.
after all were elected by the ma
jority, had simply put something
over on them.
Many of ns loved the old build
lng, and would prefer to see the
walls preserved and the building
restored, as nearly as possible, to
its former appearance if that
proved practical: though of
course 11 tnat were provea im
practical, on account of weak
ened condition ot the walla or
otherwise, it would be another
matter.
While I think the expense to
be saved is not the main con
sideration, it would be a worth
while one. How many of the
taxpayers individually could af
ford to proceed with a building
ot their own as is being proposed
with their joint property, the
state house? Incidentally let's
not store the state's accumula
tion of waste paper in the state's
most valuable building in future.
HUGH V. HARRIS
(Editor's Note The state
property commission is not act
ing on its own notion, but after
receiving expert advice from
architects and engineers who sur
veyed the walls. There is positive
danger to let them stand, be
cause ot loose bricks or over
hanging chimneys falling on
workmen. It is a saving to the
state to proceed now when SERA
labor is available).
