With a sharp trowel or long bladed knife cut a half, or a third around the plant with, the blade slanted in toward the root, In this preliminary root pruning, the circle should, be slightly smaller than the pot to be used, the pot being us- ually a four or five -inch one. At this time, remove any buds or blossoms there may be and cut the plant back severely, removing some of the oldest wood. Two orthree weeks later make another cut, and if the ground is very dry soak' thoroughly several hours be. fore lifting, Pruning the roots in ad- vance of potting gives the plant a hence to recover from the transplant- ing and..to form new feeding roots so that it may more easily establish it' self in the 'pot - Plunging Potted plants can: be put in the shade on the porch or sunk up to their rime in the earth under a tree, This:will provide shade at midday and keep them from drying out..

' Tokio Mayor' S.b lary Reduced y City Council CR. 4,000 Yen Cut is Imposed by Assemblymen for His. 'Failure to Enter- tain Talo. -Because the new Mayor of Tokio, Mr. Hor'ikiri, failed to pay the customary courtesy calls and; to give the usual geisha parties. to the City Assemblymen, his salary hes been r"e- laced from- 20,000 to 166,000 yen, The -City Assemblymen are like step mothers to the Mayor, and 'expect to im treated .With special respect and given personal attention by him. In deciding to reduce the Mayor's salary, the Council gave as the reason. that. the. new Mayor is young and lacks personal weight, and that the drastle economy required by the muni- cipal administration necessitated the cut. Determined to effect reforms, the Mayor apparently is unconcerned over the criticismheaped uppon him by the majority of the City Assemblymen and is now turning his attention to a sweeping dismissal of incapable of- ficiate, who were installed through the personal recommendations of the'pre- vious Mayor or City Assemblymen. In order to make remit for these men, capable and independent officials were said to have been 'dismissed to the deterioration of discipline. ere officials officials deplored this state of af- fairs because bard work brought no advances unless they had personal •, connections with tljoee at the head of the municipality.. The new Mayor believes that such a condition should not be allowed to exist, and as an overture to the Oom- ing drastic reform in municipal ad- ministration he is planning to fit his office with honest and: hard-working officials. .- Y, Shimanaka, a proletarian mem- ber of the Connell, denies that person- al feeling against the Mayor influened Ilam in voting to cut the salary. He said that the amounts the previous Mayors received were too high and that the reduced salary is sufficient if Mr. Horiltiri does not intend to enter- tain the Assembiynten.. In addition to his annual salary/ the Mayor is entit- led to a social and secret fund.
