18 RESPECT FOR U. S, IS URGED IN ARICA Chile’s President Wires Civic Committee to Be Calm at All Costs. | i | | | Br the Associated Press ARICA, Chile, September 9.—The’ local press gives prominence to tele- | grams sent by President Alessandri of | Chile to the Civic Committee of Arica, | urging the maintenance of calm at all s. Special importance is attached 1o these messages because they were | received after the president had been | in telegraphic communication with | Samuel Claro Lastarria of the Chilean | delegation in the plebiscite commis- sion and several local officials. The president’s telegram to the Civic | Committee devotes a paragraph to the | request that all respect and deference | be shown to the members of the Amer- ican delegation, and that they be as- sured of entire freedom of action This has given rise to speculatfon as to whether the president wished to neutralize signs of displeasure shown by the local population with the Amer- ican observers in their investigation. | J. Herbert Stabler, former assistant | sion of Latin American affairs in the State Department, who recently has been in Ecuador on a private economic mission, arrived here today to assume his duties as secre. tary of the General Pleblscite (C‘om mission, which post has been held by vmond E.

That the growing of pomegranates, mystical fruit of the Near East and of the scriptures, Is practicable in Washington is demonstrated by the experience of Mr. and Mrs. Fritz C. Voigt, 4569 Grant road, who have in their front yard a tree more than 35 years old which now is covered with ripening fruit. The pomegranate in Washington, will find its greatest use- fulness as one of the most beau- tiful of flowering shrubs rather than as a fruit tree. Its culture has been introduced successfully in the South, | but the Capital s a few degrees too far North for the fruit to ripen naturally 50 as to be eaten raw. It retains a slightly bitter taste here. Good Preserves. The local frult answers its pur- pose well for use in preserves, Mrs. Voigt, says It serves as well as pectin_in thickening jellies and adds an unaccustomed flavor. Early in | the Summer the tree. about 4 feet high, becomes a mass of red, fragrant, bell-shaped blos . somewhat in the form of a honeysuckle. It remains in blossom for nearly a month and the fruit forms where the blossoms fall. The fruit itself is highly decora- tive, Just now the pomegranates are the size of small pears of a reddish. green color. As IFall advances they will turn red | The tree will not survive a Wash- | igeton_Winter out-of-doors. As soon | If you wish a skin clear of pim- ples, blackheads and other an- noying eruptions begin today the regular use of Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment. No other method is so agreeable, so often effec- tive and so economical. Sowp 8¢, Ointment 5 4nd the. Taleam %e, Sald e tories, the safe THE EVENIL as the first frosts come Mr. ! moves It into the cellar and forgets | about it for the rest of the Winter. The leaves drop off, the stalks grow brown, and apparently the shrub dies. It revives again, however, as soon as it is moved Into the yard in the Spring. The Voigts have introduced pome- granate culture widely among friends and neighbors by distributing seed- lings. These make exceptionally rapid growth for the first tw~ or three years, attaining a helght or about 3 feet. From then on the growth is slower and the 35-year-old shrub has hardly Voigt | moved for the past 10 years. The Voigts have an unusual collec- STAR, WASHINGTOX, D. tion of plants in addition to the pomegranate. Also in a tub in their front yard is a jasmine bush which has survived many Winters in their cellar. This is just beginning to blossom and will be in full bloom before the end of the month. Then, all through the cool September evenings it will fill the yard and surrounding yards with an intensely rich fragrance, probably the richest of all flowering plants. The jasmine s a night-blooming flower, its blossoms closing under the sunlight. Just before dark it becomes a mass of tiny white petals. These, however, are practically odorless untfi the sun has gone below the horizon. On a moon- less, starless night, when it is almost completely dark, the flood of fragrance reaches its greatest height. A pluck- ed branch placed in a lighted room has & noticeable fragrance. But turn off the lights and in an hour one will hardly be able to stay in the room because of the intense, sickishly sweet odor. Another tub plant in which the Volgts take great pride is the old- fashioned sultana or patience flower. This now is rare in American homes. Its great virtue is that it is In blos som every day of the year, both In doors and out. Usually it is a mas of small blooms. Mrs. Volgt's singl plant bears blooms of three color pink, salmon and old rose. The sul tana requires constant attention to keep its begonia-like follage clean, especlally in Winter, hence its name, patience. It probably is the easiest of all plants to grow from cuttings.

Angel-winged Begonias. Mrs. Volgt's selection of begonias is unusual for a private home. Among her rare specimens is one Whose leaves fold over exactly in the position of the wings of angels sculp- tured on tombstones, from whence comes its name, “Angel's Wings.” Mrs. Voigt has had quite unusual success with the slipping of roses, using the old trick of splitting the stem of the cutting slightly at the bottom and placing an oat in the cleavage. Then she sticks the cut- tng in a hole with a few oats. A cutting almost invariably grows & root when treated in this fashion, she claims. This Summer she is trying the trick of first sticking the end of the cutting in a small potato and then planting the potato. With the first frosts glasses are placed over the sprouting cuttings and kept there until all the frost Is out of the ground in_the Spring. p The Voigts have an _ordinary ‘sized " youll quickiyTrade for udebaker’ Power Durabllifq ch&hJ EST. 1879 PTEMBER 9, 1925. city backyard which has been trans- formed into a minlature farm.
