BUTT, Landscape Architect I am afraid that »War&uffer-err snd myself could never a- gree, but his or her old-fashion- ed courtesy strikes s chord of sympathy in this possibly some- what aantiqustedr person. For instance, my contributor's ref- erence to the Jape as a half- cfssffized nation would suggest that we are civilized. It is this last contention that I cannot a- gree with, and which makes me so skeptical of afl pacifism. In the first place the wsy in which nonwombatants were deliberate- ly murdered in the Great Wsr was a disgrace even had the con- testants been savages instead of supposedly civilized Christians, and there wss not even the ex- cuse of military advantage in these atrocities. It is genersfly admitted that in any future war it will be safer for soldiers in the firing line than for the civili- an population snd since 1918 we have returned to the merciless cut-throat business methods of pre-war days, only with tenfold intensity, all of which is the spirit of war. Where then is our much vaunted civflization,? I have had little personal contact with the Japanese, but have lived with and know well the educated men of other orienta races, whose civilizations are much older and on as high or higher s plane, though different, to our own, And so I believe in preparedness for the world war which is surely close upon us, remembering that in Holy Writ it is stated that the Second Com- ing and the end of the world will be heralded with wars and rum- ors of wars. will thrive in a drier soil. The genus Dryopteris or as it was formerly cafled the Aspl- dium has a large number of ferns which grow to a height of about lwo feet. Many of them grow wild over the countryside and are easily transplanted. Dryopteris Spinulosa Inlerme- dia is the one used mostly by florists. It is very common in the eastern woods and has the finest leaves of any of the large evergreen ferns. It requires shade the year through and it is the best for growing under 'trees. The Aspleniums is s group of ferns of easy culture. They grow from one to three feet in height and thrive on the Pacific Coast better than almost any type. The maidenhair fern is a na- tive of the Pacific Coast. They require a moist rich soil and plenty of leaf mould. They like s sunny location. Ferns The proper time for trans- planting ferns depends almost entirely on the type of fern to be transplanted. The evergreen type may be transplanted st any time except the coldest part of the winter. The precautions usu- ally exercised when moving any evergreen should be taken, a ball of earth should be taken up with the plant and lots of water used after tranplanting. The decidu- ous ferne, with one exception, produce but onc cluster of fronds each year. so should be transplanted only during the dormaut season. However, the deciduous ferns with creeping stems may be transplanted at sny season. This type spreads freely and sends up several masses of fronds during the growing season. One of the most wide/ dis- tributed of the ferns is called the cinnamon fern. It grows from two to four feet high and will thrive in moist sandy loam. It will do well in s sunny loca- tion, but is not at its best until two or three years after trsns- phmtmg. The Clayton fern is slightly smafler than the cinnamon, but NOTs--Tbo «Itec IU c ld« It ~ pl«s»ro to ~ swor a seel ae «a«alas tho ~ d a I this d Tho a»«thee cho»ld be ddressrl to O ~ it la I Ih Zdac .

From this it appears that the rising, whik not orig- inafly planned for a mutiny, rep- resented an attempt to enable s celebrated international crook to make his escape from the jaiL The rest of his gang, who were free but powerless to engineer any robberies or what have you without his brains, established communication with him by code through the agony column, snd between them the rising was arranged. And but for the unexpected arrival of the Ply- mouth police the plan would have succeeded. It is a curious thing that in the past as now there are clever men whose tal- ents honestly used would bring them wealth and honors, but who by some quirk of the brain prefer to "go crooked." I have sometimes thought that the at- traction is the physical excite- ment of living contmuafly on the ragged edge of disaster.
