THE TIMES
Question Box

During the summer months the Poin-
settia plant is dormant. At this period
Of the year it may be cut down and al
lowed to lie until fall. Then new shoots
come out which may be taken of and
planted separately. The poinsettia
should be. taken from the pot, the dirt
shaken from the roots, and the plant
set in a pot with fresh rich soil. IT
will then take root again and probably
blossom by the Christmas holidays. For
any further information apply to the
green houses of the Department of Agri-
culture.

Seen in the Shops

IN THE BASEMENT of the depart
ment store at the corner Of Elev-
enth and G streets. real bargain
tables are to be found. Unlike
many of the basement sections Of
department stores. usually given over
to china or hardware, this basement
contains bargain tables covered with
garments of under and outer wear.
On one table are some waists marked
at 88c. They are both tailored and
lingerie, and made of batiste. voile,
and linene, in the latest styles. At
another table, net corsets are marked
at 49c the pair. These are ideal for
summer wear about the house or for
the timid bather at the seashore. They
are soft and pliable, and dry very
quickly.
There is no small army Of folks who
are forced from one reason or another
to remain in the city for the sum-
mer, but it is not so bad, after ALL

more inviting, even in the hottest

furniture the next best thing is to
have the old furniture covered with
linen slips. On II street northwest,
between North Capitol and First

Training Of Carrier
Pigeons Shown BY Reel.
Another one of the newest of thu
quasi-scientific reels treats of the train
ing Of carrier pigeons, those remarkable
birds Of whose habits we know so little
but at the feats Of which we have sc
often wondered. Very few have had th<
opportunity Of seeing or studying the
nature Of these interesting creatures
for while most common ON the othei
side Of the wnfers they are c2mparstive-
" scarce in the Bnlted States. The new
nlm traces the education of q pair o,
these birds through the different STAGES
Of their growth. their early training. the
wedsine' Of . rolled message to one Of
the pigeons legs. the remarkable sys.
tenn employed to determine the winner o,
q carrier pigeon match. and one scene
showing the start Of over 1000 pigeon,
In great aerial race.
On the same reel d shown a timely
subject entitled How a Flower Opens"
II shows the blossoms growth by SLOW
stages. and illustrates certain things
which the naked eye cannot possibly
discern. This Is made possible BY ar
ingenious mechanical device which
makes one exposure on the flm al
regular intervals Of an hour or so
When the film Is shown the pictures
taken at these long intervals are pro
jected at the rate Of fourteen a second
These are only few of the newest
films that have been realised durins
the week just passed. by the larger OF

effort is being made to display pictures
Of educational value. rather than thoss
which are merely entertaining.

The hrst scene starts with the plowins
Of dry ground by the water, buffalo; then
is shown the plowing Of the flooded

through mud knee deep. The grain ID

transplanted further apart into flooded

entirely by Javanese women. who stand

their skirts tucked up after the, latest

The harvesting IL done by women and
children, who 30 through the fields snip

These heads are then taken to the tread

circular piles about foot deep and ten
feet IN diameter. and are trodden out
by driving the water buffalo around and

The process Of winnowing. the next
step, is equally as crude. One man
stands on a raised platform four feet

basket Of grain above his head, empties

was deadlocked, and DO Pres
ident Of the body was chosen.
Then Vice President Sherman
was on hand, and there really
was no urgency over the mat
ter. But with the death of the
Vice President someone must
act in order that measures may
de signed, etc. Senator Gal
linger was chosen by the eau
Gus two years ago, but the
Progressives have succeeded
in preventing his election. Il
is agreed that Mr.. Galllnger
may fill the place one-half the
time, and Senator Bacon the
other half. The two men have
shiny bald heads, and look
very much alike, andlone has
to look twice to discover which
is which in the chair. The

President Taft and his
Cabinet are evidently of the
belief that Republic of Mexico
is not seriously concerned over

and property, and the policy

ed. Madero and swatthy war
riers have been called down

has very little objection to the
Mexicans shooting one anoth-
