At the she bin this does not mean
just throwing in. plants or seed any
way. Experts dvice a little prelim-
inary planning even when only a
sma:l} bed of annuals is contemplated.
The Seed catalogue wv!hich. lists time
of blooming, colors, heights and other
points greatly simplifies this matter
of layout
'Generally the best plan is to have
the larger flowers towards the rear
or centre of the bed so that little
things like nasturtiums, alyssum,
ttw-wt phlox and similar kfnde will
not be hidden; Where the bed is to
he mixed, it is well also to have late,
medium and early flowers evevilY bal-
anced to insure something always • in
bloom
But there are other and finer points
to consider. Certain shades blend
well together and often a whole bed
will he selected with this blending of
coiers in mind, One may have sold
beds or .mixtures resulting in a riot
of warm colors. At this " time too
one should not overlook the season of
blooming and: plan to have some
group of flower canting on all sum-
mer. In the good garden there are no
banns from. July until frost.
Cultivation
Aside from the Panning anaiplant-
inY ne early gardening job compares
in importance with cultivation, Au-
,tho,rities do not ask one to keep the
hoe going all summer, far from it.
But they do request that the gulden
be dug once thoroughly first thing in
the spring, then cultivated once or
twice afterwards. With proper itoois
the work neer, be no more than heal-
thy exercise. For the purpose there
is nothing better than a little three
or five -fingered cultivator or a. Dutch
hoe. Either of these implements wi11
make short work of a vegetable or
flower garden. Cultivation serves a
double purpose; it keeps down weeds,
and it conserves moisture.
Don't Crowd
Most common mistake of new gar-
deners is crowding thiegs too close
together. In planntog layouts it is
essential that the mature height and
width of the Hewer or shrub or tree
he kept in mind and sufficient space
be allowed for fell growth. With
newly set oue permanent shrubbery
space between may be filled in tem-
porarily with annuals until full
room is required and with a slow
growing tree like the maple or elm;
shrubbery may be grown between
for eight or ten years. But when
the time comes for full room being
pled, then it should be available
and one must harden his heart, take
an axe and thin. Crowded flowers,
vegetables, shrubs or trees soon lie -
ensile weak and spindly:

Claim Loamy Soil
Best ,For Lawns
Probably no other single factor has
any greater influence on the appear-
ance of the property than the condi-
tion of the lawn. it is often referred
to as the outdoor carpet
A :loamy soil is best, but where clay
is encountered it is well •to have the
drat three or four &inches incorporat-
ed with sand or pulverized peat. Un-
derdraining will also help. Sandy soil
should be improved with a top dress-
ing of good soil or well rotted man
urs
Where soil is poor a good fertilizer
may be trade up of: 4 parts sulphate
of ammonia, 3 parts acrd phosphate,
or steamed bone meal, and 1 part
muriate of potash. Apply this at. the
rate of 300 pounds per acre, or one
ounce per square yard of lawn. Work
well into the soil by raking. This
may be used twice during the grow -
i n g season, applied during wet wea-
ther or anytime where plenty of wa-
ter is available.
A standard lawn grass mixture con-
sists of Kentucky blue grass and white
Dutchh, clover. This gives for general
purposes the most satisfactory lawn.
Kentucky bine grase will withstand
more droughts, careless cutting and
abuse than any lawn grass in com-
mon use. In addition, it will make a
very fine lawn when good treatment
is accorded.
The seed should be sower: in early
Sprung, or mid-August or September.
It is simply sowed broadcast and .rak-
ed in with a fine rake. After thie a
good rolling is desirable, followed by
a good watering if possible.
Sow the seed at the rate of four to
six bushels per acre of Kentucky
blue, to which may be added one to
tow .pounds of white Dutch clover and
sometimes a bushel of timothy is
added to,give results the first year.
Eventually the Kentucky bine is the
only occupant of the landA small
area of 50 x 100 feet, or 5,000 square
feet will require about one peck of
Kentucky blue and one goad handful
of white Dutch clover.
A well -kept lawn needs rolling, es-
pecially in early spring, before the
lawn gets too day. This will assist
in levelling and repeated rollings dur-
ing summer will keep it in goods con-
dition. Rolling when tthe lawn is dry
is of little avail-
If
vailIf a good lawn is to be maintained,
plant food is necessary in some forms.
Probably a couple of 'times during the
summrer will suffice for the applica-
tions already mentioned. Where irrir
gation or watering can be •practised,
the lawn can alwwye be maintained 131
a green vigorous earrdatlon. One
,heavy soaking once a week is far
superior to a light spa -inkling every
night.
I•f winter killing occurs, making the
leant patchy, this may be quickly rem-
edied by loosening the soil of the
killed areas and, sowing some more
seed, which may be inked in and
then covered with a sifted loam and
rolled.
It is good practice, where a lawn is
thin, to apply a little seed each fall,
which will materially assist in main-
taining that dense turf so, much de-
sired.

Television and Radio Fixed
As Each a Serviciie by Itself
Citizens contemplating the purchase
of a radio set in the near future need
have no cause of hesitation. over
those television ads Which, they see
in certain American cities soon. Tele-
vision and radio will be "none>onfiict-
lag services"; and James M. Skinnier,
President of'-Phileo, which has a tele-
vision station card is also building iele-
vision receivers, is authority for this
statement.
Though there are fifteen television
lioens'ees en the Federal Communica-
tions Commission's official list, scarce-
ly a half dozen of these are on the
"active" list The focal point which
all radio set manufacturers will watch
this year for public reaction to tele-
vision is New York. The National
Broadcasting Company, the Columbia
Broadcasting System, and the Du-
Mont
uMont Laboratories will be on the air
in conjunction with the New York
World's Fair, One company, at least,
the RCA -NBC combination, will have
workable television on display;
At least a half dozen companies, will
have television sets -most of them
called "televisars" on sale in the
New York area to comply with sales
demand.
RCA, through NBC, its subsidiary,
will offer daily visual programs from
the Empire State Building transmit-
ter and is preparing to manufacture
10,000 receivers, price net yet determ-
ined, asinitial production. Columbia
will offer visual programs from its
Chrysler Building studios. , DuMont
will also rndiocast in the New York
area in co-operation with Paramount
Pictures, wvhioh is part owner, and
will manufacture receivers.
Outside New York, Philea wall radio
cast visual programs in Philadelphia.
End of Albania's Freedom
Albania's brief freedom, like Czecho-
Slovakia's, -has temporarily ended.
Real natives 111 the Balkans, the
oldest nice of the whole .peninsula,
they saw Greece, Rome, Venice, Tur-
key all rise and decline. During the
ages they remained perched on their
rugged ridges, off the main ,highways
of history, on the edges of empires,
alw,ans serving foreign masters, but
too posr, too wretched, to be anuch
molested.
Finally, in 1912, they, rose in revolt
against the Turkish Empire and
struck a blow for freedom. Their ex-
ample was followed by all their neigh-
bors and the Turkisih domination in
Southeast Europe was ended.
Ten years of war, turmoil and revo-
lution followed before Albania became
really free and secure. Then came
the best decade and a half in all its
history. 'For the only period in mil-
lenniums the foreign tribes were Weld-
ed into a nation. Schools were open-
ed for the first time, and boys and
girls began to study. Cities were
built, a network of roads were thrown
over the rani Good bridges spanned
wild torrenstial rivers and hundreds of
American automobiles bound the land
into a compact unit. Harbors were
constructed and an excellent police
force was trained. Real courts of law
were set up. eprder •prevailed in wild
Altra,nis Such as London ,might envy
and Chicago dared not even dream of.
A middle-class was formed, with an
intelligentsia, and even modest litera-
ture was created, women doffed their
stifling veils and lifted up their faces
and made their contribrttion to a new
Albania.
Religious matters alio were so well
regulated that Albania might have
served as a model for many an older
nation. Perfect tolerance prevailed;
Five -eighth of Albanians are Mos-
lems, two -eighths Orthodox Christians
and the' remaining one-eighth Roman
Catholic. But all lived together in
harmony.
Sport was being organized, the
youth were being trained, and a swift-
ly developing ,social rrpirit wan mak-
ing
laking dreary Albanian lives brighter and
more cheerful.
To be sure the Albanians are still
the most primitive people in Europe.
The peasants are still very wretched,
the land is still largely unutilized and
many leaders are still corrupt. Al-
bania is far indeed from Denmark or
Flioland but the glory of this effort
was that from such material in fif-
teen &short • Years so much has been
created.
Now all this is ended. Italian guns
have silenced free Albania. A people
struggling forward after centuries of
bondage has been placed again in po-
litical servitude. And for no cause
except the desire for imperial con-
quest. The new invaders came here
for exactly the same reason for whyy'c�h
imperial Turkish armies once siGept
over the Balkan Peninsula, and un-
der th'e most insufferable of all pre-
texts. One day Rome proclaimed Al-
bania itself was • see king more inti-
mate relations with Italy, the next
day it announced Albania was perse-
cuting the Italiana. On the morrow
it proclaimed again that King Zog was
flirting with the demoocratic powers
and was even in the secret service of
England"
Every such explanation is complete-
ly false. All foreigners in Albania
were in complete safety, Nowhere in
Europe was tshere more complete se-
curity, and King Zog was so faithful
to Benito Mussolini that he mad arous-
ed the dare of "his own countrymen.
Italy seized Albania simply to use it
as a 'base for further military action,
for further conquest of the Balkans.
Albania is Signor Museolinf'ev Bel-
gium The most intolerable pretenee
of all was Signor Mussolini's appar-
ent belief that the world would accept
his tales about the Albanians rejoic-
ing in their new slavery.
Perhaps Mussolini will bring more
prosperity, perhaps he w'ill build more
roads, ,buy more tobacco, 'put more
land under cultivation. He came
with gifts of gold which were osten-
tatiously scattered among the people
as, by a master among servants and
he may bring still more gold, but a
slight improvement in pro:rpe 1ty is a
wretched price to accept for bondage
and a few new cornfields are no , re-
compense for lost independspee.
Having a portable unit, it may send
out programs from both Philadelphia
and New York. Zenith has a station
in Chicago, and will build sets; while
Emerson will confine itself to the'set
field. Farnawortih, which moved from
California to Pennsylvania, has pur-
chaseds the Capehart plant at Fort
Wayne, Ind., and the plant where the
old, Grigsby"t runow sets were manu-
factured. It is in a strong patent pos-
ition, and it is thought that Farns-
worth may concentrate on, sound rad-
ios ',before offering television trans-
mitters or receivers. Crosley of Cin-
cinnati has applied for a television
transmitting license and, has gone,
oddly enough, into the production of
facsimile. receivers,
Cheaper Canadian Radios
'Cheaper prices Jor radio receivers
in Canada are now effective, Owing to
the reductions in customs tariffs on
parts imported from the United States
and: because the royalty and patent
payments by Canadian set manufac-
turreas to the Canadian patent pool
wore reduced. For this, Canadian lis-
teners, who have bad to pay from 50
to 90 per cent more for sets made in
Canada but identical with American
receivers made by parent companies,
could thank the inquiry ma,de by the
Canadian Tariff Board into the radio
manufacturing industry, which effect-
ed these reductions.
Network FacsimilE
The queer chirping and all -different
signals of facsimile that listeners.
could hear in, the early hours of the
morning from Mutual -stations WOR,
Newark, WLW, Cincinnati, and WGN,
Chicago,•! after regular broadcasting
had cea§ed, have soundied the same
for well over a week now. What it
means is that the signals being gen-
erated for the "radio newspaper in
the home" ,painter -receivers in the
Newark area are being piped over ra-
dio lines, samewhat like press news
matter, to .Cincinnati and Chicago.
Like press association printers, what-
ever is sent out over Newark is be-
ing duplicated in the other two cities.
In order that items of local news
may get into each station area, the
transmissions are switched every half
hour to one of the other three sta-
tions. Every Saturday, between the
early hours of 2 to 3.30 a.m., listeners
with ordinary radio sets will hear
these chirping signals while those
with facsimile receivers can come
down in the morning and take a long
strip of printed copy, with news and
photos for their Perusal. The Mutual
network is using .the Finch system of
facsimile.
IRELAND'S STORY TOLD ,
AT WORLD'S FAIR
Conspicuous in: the Irish Cultural
and Historical Pavilion at the New
York World's Fair will be a Pillar of
Irish granite, Containing stones taken
from prisons,, fortresses anal other bat-
tlescarred buildings in wbGaih Irish-
men
rishmen have fought and fallen for their
ideals.
The pillar also carries a plaque of
Padraic Pearse and a photostat of the
original peoclamation of the Irish Re-
public in 1916. In the Pavilion will be
set qp a 17 -foot statue of an Irish war -
Nor, standing guard, over the liberties
of Itis, country.
In placing before the American pub-
lic an exhibit of progress, made, and
sometrhing of its future development,
the Government of Eire holds that a
grasp of the chief characteristics of
the Irish race is essential, as well as
a knowledge of the history and cul-
ture underlying site The Pavilion will,
therefore, embrace a review of Ire-
landts history, in its every phase, from
the Bronze Age to the present day.
The building occupies a space of
5,000 square feet and it will be divid-
ed into two sections, historical and
cultural. The first will show a series
of panels epitomizing the national tris -
tory by means of diagrams and. re-
presentative material objects. •
These will illustrate the Bronze Age
in Ireland, about 2,009-B:' C., when the
country was the -treasure house of
western Europe and made 'delicate
gold ornaanents, known as lunulae, as
well as bronze axes and flnelywrought
urns and: cauldrons which were ship-
ped to other )aids; the Missionary
Epoch, 900 to 1100 A. D., when Ire-
land was the principal centre of learn
ing and Christianity in Europe, which
had been devastated by barbarians af-
ter the collapse of the Roman Em-
pire.
