GATHERING HERBS IN
PARKS OF WASHINGTON

IN the fair days of early spring herb
u gatherers. who usually are colored
women. carry on their work in the pa r,S
and public grounds in Washington. The
grounds of the Department of Agriculture
and the Monument seem TO be especially
productive fields for them. They are not
molested. for the herbs they are in aues,
of and which they find in great measures
are considered the pests of lawns Their
instrument, or garden tool is usually y
table knife. The plant they cut out nf
the turf is the daudelon, They gather
the plant in baskets and bags. Where the
da ndelion is in flower they sort out the
blossoms and lay them away together
These herb gatherers collect dandeIions
for food. They call them greens" or
salad. The gatherers do not eat a
the fruit of their labor. but carry Tho
greens TO market. where in early
spring they have ready sale. The
greens are boiled just as turnip-tops
heet-top are. or just as cabbage or
caulfiower. Dandelion greens are es-
teemed by many persons as especially
heathful and wholesome spring food
fine blood medicine. Persons without
knowledge OF the proper way of prepar
ing these greens should exercise care
or preferably should get the correct for
mua from person who knows. They are
usually boiled oftener than once. the
water being renewed after each boiling.
though The Star man was told by one
of these herb gatherers that a person who
likes these greens strong favored
should boil them only once. but if a per-
son liked them sweet they should be
boiled twice oftener.
AS rule the persons who esteem dan
delion green's as an accompaniment to
bacon also like ''poke-salad." the tender
sprouts of the poke-berry bush. The

In the long run. possibly German
commercial houses and German banks
and German holders of Egyptian bonds
will not be eliminated so entirely as is
anticipated. German trade and Ger

One of the greatest of the captains Of
industry who helped make the pres
ent day Egypt by constructing irrics-
tion works for the government. Sir
Ernest Cassel. is native of Germany.
He became naturalized British sub
ject. and was knighted by King Ed

to be made ON a magnificent scale rs

Sir Ernest Casse1 was the leading
spirit in the plans of British statesmen
for the tablishment of a great Turk
ish bank at Constantinople which would
have ramifications in Egypt When
the war broke out in difference to Brit
ish feeling, he disappeared from pub
lie view. Not unlikely, his sympa thes
are divided between his adopted and
his native country. and there is moth
ing for him to do during the war bur
remain in retirement. The prediction
Is made that when hostilities are over
he will again come to the front as the
guiding spirit of Egyptian enterprises
For sentimental as we'll as practical
reasons, 1t probably Will be the policy
of the British government to give Bel
gian manufacturers recognition in the
future industrial development OF
Egypt. If they come into possession
of their own country they can resume
supplying the commodities which fur
nished them so profitable market up

good customer for Egyptian cigarettes
and onions.
German commodities imported into
Egypt have been iron and steel manu-
features and cotton and woolen goods,
artificial indigo and some minor ar
ticles.
Austria Hungary also has been
good buyer of cotton and of cigarettes
and miscellaneous products. Cotton has
been taken to the amount of $6,000,00O,
and cigarettes, hides and skins and
sundries have contributed an addi-
tional s2,000,000
Egypt has furnished a market for
Austrian products to the value Of ST.
100000. The imports have included the
fez. or distinctive headgear of the Mo-
hammedans: glassware. fine dry goods.
furniture and fine textiles. Austrian
commercial firms have been strongly
entrenched in Egypt, and the facility
of steamship communication has been
of advantage to these firms.
Belgium has been almost negligible
as buyer of Egyptian products. The
total of cotton and cottonseed. cigar
fallen below 100000. Nevertheless,
Belgian products have been imported
into Egypt in some years to the value
of s6.000,000. In 1914 they exceeded
900. so that if the war had not
interviewed Belgium would have had
record year in the Egyptian trade.
Highly finished iron and steel con-
struction material has been the lead
ing import. the value sometimes reach

proximated s1,OO0,O0O. and textiles
100000. Belgian cement has had
steady market.
The United States has a very marked
interest in the commercial future of
Egypt. Notwithstanding it's suprem-
acy in cotton production, this country
is in some measure dependent on the
fine staple cotton of Egypt. In some
years it takes Egyptian cotton to the
value of s22.0Oo,OOo. In 1914 the ex-
ports from Egypt to this country were
valued al $14.o00.000, and about $14,-

cotton. The balance was made up Of
