DR.. Frischkorn told the members OF

practice OF permitting kindergarten tots
sit on the floor and roll balls was
dangerous, that children often place

Hospital Reports Unpaid
Balance Along With Need
for New Buildings.

The District Of Columbia owes the
Freedmen's Hospital s7s.745.57. as an un-
paid balance for the care and treatment
OF patients sent to the hospital by the
District Commissioners.
Surgeon-in-C Chief w. A. warheld. In
his annual report to the Secretary OF
the Interior. declares that this sum will
probably increase from year to year
unless the Commissioners can see their
way clear to include in future esti-
mates to Congress a sum sufficient to
cover the contract price for the care
and treatment Of all patients whom they
send to the hospital.
The unpaid balance for the fiscal year
ended June 30. 1912, was $3760.l4. the
smallest ever. This Is due to the fact
that the District paid during the last
fiscal year $4,000. instead OF $S,5oo. as In
previous years.

SPENDING $10,0OOAD DAY
TO FEED FLOOD VICTIMS
Secretary Stimson Looks to
Congress to RepIenish War
Department Funds.

With new flood rushing down the
Mississippi river and with the prospect
as a consequence that the army will be
called upon TO supply the destitute with
rations and shelter and the stock in the
flooded area with forage for another
month, Secretary of War Stimson looks
to Congress to replenish the regular War
Department appropriations, which are be-
ing used in the work of succor.
An average of 10000 people are being
fed daily by commissioners of the army.
Although only a simple plantation ra-
ton is issued to the sufferers, costing
about cents, the disbursements approx
mate $1,000 a day. In addition, the
quartermaster's department has spent to
date $277.179 for forage, tentage and the
hire Of boats for rescue work.
Secretary Stimson estimated today that
1t would require an appropriation of ap-
proximately 100000 for the commissary
department and $4,000 for the quarter
masters department to cover the amount
expended by these two branches in the
relief work.
The engineer officers in the vicinity Of
st. Louis In reporting the new flood
declared that these waters would 60
through the crevasses made by the pre-
v.ous one, serving to prolong the time for
getting the affected farms in shape for
production and increasing the suffering.

in this case Secretary Stimson made pub
lie the expenditures for former relief
work Of the army. In 1899 the army COM
missary department spent $1,417,j44 for
relieving destitute Cubans and 1881, 4S1
for the relief of Porto r cans on account
of the tornado in that year. There was
a flood along the Mississippi river in 1874
on account Of which the army spent $500.
COS: another overflow along this river in
1881 cost S4.2.39, and from the same cause,
in 1ss2, S343.95S. \ flood along the Ohio
river in 1854 cost the army S5o6, 364 and
when it reached the NJ SIS ssppi river
$1f0.439 was added to that amount.
Relief against the ravages of grass
hoppers" in 1879 cost SS2,532. Other ex-
pendtures for relief were on account Of
yellow fever ep:demics forest fires and
the San Francisco earthquake.

Frank Meyers recent agricultural eXp.o-

marily to get as many cold-resisting
fruits as possible for the benefit of resi-
dents in the northern sections of the

Found Siberian Poplar.

One of the valuable finds he made was
a species of Siberian poplar that can
weather an arctic winter and will grow
in a region that is too dry for duran
wheat There is a big region of the
northwest where wood of any sort is at
a premium and where all of the lumber
and fuel used has to be imported 1t is
stated by the Department of Agriculture
that it may take some years to get the
new poplar established, but if even one
species of this tree can be grown on some
of the cold, dry northwestern plains it
will be the greatest possible blessing to
the farmers Of that region.
