PETITION IS SENT
TOA. A. j. OFFICIALS
Ten Thousand Athletes Repre-
sented in Request for
Separate Branch.
SECURE vii SONS SIGNATURE
Makes Exception to Clause
Finding Fault With South
Atlantic Officers.
SECURE WILSON'S SIGNATURE
By KIRK c. MILLER.

A petition praying that a separate
branch of the Amateur Athletic Union
be granted the schools, colleges. and in
dependent clubs OF Washington was yes
terday mailed 20 the head office OF the
A. A. T., at New York city. This Pc
tition has been in form for more than
two weeks, during which time the sig
nature of every athletic and sporting
club of the city, including the Washing
ton Fairgrounds Association and WASH
ington high schools have been secured.
Altogether it is estimated that 10000
athletes, all amateurs, Of course, will
come under the jurisdiction of the new
branch, provided it is granted. This is
greater number than is now under the
South Atlantic Branch. which combines
Baltimore and Washington.
Principal Emory Wilson was the last
to sign the petition which Will give
Washington control of all its own ath-
letic events. His signature was secured
with the notation that he has no fault to
fnd with the treatment accorded WASH
ingon by the South Atlantic branch Of
the A. A. u, the officers of which are
nearly all members of Baltimore clubs
and residents Of that city.
Was Only Exception.
His was the only exception made to
this clause, which is one of the main
arguments presented to the governing
body as cause for a separate association
for Washington.
Eleven organizations are represent
ed In the letter which went with the
petition today. The names Of those
signing and the clubs which they rep
resent are as follows:
Z. NJ. Wilson, Washington High

by the local committee. of which Harry

II will be necessary to call a meeting

of which will have TO agree to granting

may be necessary for some personal
representation from Washington before
the request is granted. in which case 1t
Is very likely that some official Of tbs

will take a trip to New York.
In any case, no pains or expense will
be spared to secure the new A. A. U.

sire that Washington have a body apart
and separate from that in Baltimore,
and no end of argument will be present.

About a year ago tie outlaw league

year another Washington team starts
with local talent as opposed TO tire
talent of other cities. i venture a guess
that the league will not last much
longer than that of 1912, for the reasc n
that every league requires all sorts of
financial backing which the United

REDUCING COST OF
FARM HORSE POWER
Too Few Animals Means That
Those in Hand viii BE Over
worked, Causing Loss.

The simplest way to reduce the cost
of farm horse power Is to keep fewer
horses. No doubt many farms carry
more horses than necessary to do the
farm work, but if the number is re
duced to the point where the farm
work cannot be efficiently done more
serious loss in the other direction will
result. Too few horses means that
those in hand will be overworked, IA
positive loss, or that some work that
should be done will he sighted. II Is
very common, however, to find on
some farms two, three or more idle
horses right through the busiest sea
son. 1t takes good judgment and much
experience tc determine the correct di.
viding line, but it IS a phase OF the
question well worth very careful con-
sideration.
Some small farms carry machinery
too large for the size of the farm. A
70-acre farm, all tillable, has no bust.
ness carrying machinery that requires
four horses for hauling In that case
one or two extra horses will be idle
the larger part OF the year. Three good
horses should do all the work on a
farm of that size. and the extra horse
Is eating up profits Big machinery Is
a great advantage on large farm, but
1t is out of place on small farm.

Old People Need
a Bowel Sfi11lIldflf
The ideal One Is a Mid Laxative
Tonic Thar WIN Keep hc BosceiS
Gently Active.

Healthy old age Is SO absolutely do
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
Is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up tho juices
that are necessary TO prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty Of
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that a state Of constipation should
always be avoided as it is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan Is
to take a mild laxative as often as Is
deemed necessary. But with equal GER.
tainty It is suggested that cathartics,
purgatives, physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are so harsh as to be a shock to a
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands OF elderly people are follow
ing, is to take n gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact, the tendency of this remedy
is to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act natu.
rally again, when medicines of all
kinds can usually be dispensed with.

USEFUL NOTES ON
LATE GARDEN WORK
After Crops Are Removed All Old
Vines, Plants and Weeds
Should Be Removed.

1t is very good plan to mulch the
rhubarb plants with a lot of corn
stalks or coarse grass. This will pro-
teot the plants during the winter, and
als0 keep weeds from choking the
plants if kept on after cultivation in
the spring.
Unless great care is taken in the
selection of homegrown seed, it is
wiser to buy them of a reliable seed
house.
After the crops are all removed
tom tho garden, rake up all old vines,
plants and weeds of every descrip-
ton, and burn them.
Some people say that it is better
TO allow the old vines and even the
weeds 10 rot on the ground in the
rail-, but we think it better to clean
up thoroughly and use stable manure
to supply the necessary humus.
If weeds are allowed to lie in the
garden over winter, the seeds will be
ready for b'e'iness in the spring long
before it is time to plant vegetables.
# celery is to be brought into a
storage house for the winter, cut the
tap.root, lift it from the ground, and
then with a strong knife cut off the
branching roots and most of the
earth.
If the garden is to have a heavy
coat of manure. why not apply il
now? Manure should be put on be
fore the ground is turned over. In
the spring a good disking or work
vita a spade will put 1t in fine condi
ljtion

The peach fruit spot first appears
on the fruit as a dark brownish or
black speck about the size of a pin
head, says a writer In the Farmers
Review. In few weeks it grows one
eighth to one-quarter of an inch in dia-
meter and is generally round 1t then
has a very dark, almost black center
around which is a dark brown ring,
and the outer margin of the spot is
reddish in color.
The upper portion of the peach, as
1t grows on the tree, seems TO be af-
fected more than the lower portion.
This shows that very likely the spores
come from the branches above those
upon which the peaches grow. The
trouble is always worse in closely set
orchards where shade is dense, and 1t
Is also found to be worse in the center
rather than on the outside, rows OF
such orchards. This is due, no doubt,
to the more moist condition found In
such orchards. A comparatively moist
season is undoubtedly more favorable
for the growth of the fungus than a
dry one.
Careful investigation and several
experiments have been made to de-
termine when and what kind of spray
should be used to control the peach
fruit spot, with the following conclu.
sions:
Spray in the fall with lime sulphur
