SPRING ONION POINTERS
Some Practical Suggestions About
Row and Whom to Plant Seeds
and Sets for Best Onions.

Onions may be grown in spring from
seed or from sets. However spring
planting Of seed is not generally so
satisfactory and sets are recommend
ed for the man who neglected to plant
In fall and who wants early onions.
For best results with seed, plant
them In October, in order that the
plants may become established before
severe winter weather begins and that
the onions may grow off rapidly in
spring and mature early in June.
Still. If seed are planted very early
In spring and conditions are favor
able. they will make good onions, al
though they will be- smaller and later
than those from falI-sown seed.
Onions should be planted on very
sandy loan. After the land has been
thoroughly prepared by deep plowing
and repeated narrowing, apply ferti-
liZcr and manure broadcast and har-
row into the first three or four inches
OF soil very thoroughly. Lay off rows
fifteen inches apart, plant the seed in
the drill, and cover the seed to depth
Of one-half to three-fourths Of an
inch. When the young seedlings ap-
pear cultivate frequently in order to
destroy weeds and maintain moisture.
Thin out the onions so as to leave
them standing three or four inches
apart in the row.
To grow onions from sets, prepare
and fertilize the land as when plant.
ing the seed and plant the sets just as
soon in spring as soil conditions will
permit. Plant thcm three to four
inches apart in rows fifteen inches
apart.
White Pearl and Prizetaker are the
two most reliable varieties for this
region.
Sets are more convenient for the
home.gardener, but for commercial
onion planter seed.planting Is to be
preferred, because onions grown from
seed keep better than those grown
from sets and because seed cost less
than sets.

The case Of the government clerks has
offered no opportunity until recently to
adjust inequalities in grades and salaries
through Congress. Bureau chiefs, divi-
sion heads and executives have had ample
chance to see that their own welfare was
safeguarded.
The postoftIce appropriation act Of 1912
gave the individual employe an oppor-

committees and present his grievance

"FRATS" FROWNED UPON
BY Teachers union
High School Instructors Recommend
Societies Adjustment.

The executive committee of the High
School Teachers Union recommended the
aboIishment OF high school fraterniues
and soroities branding them as injurious
to the best interests to the school sys-
tenn and to the student life in general,
at q meeting in the Business High School
yesterday afternoon.
A resolution condemning these school
societies said in part: Since we are,
together with the Board of Education and
the school officials, custodians Of the
public interest in educational matters
we believe it would be disloyal to our
trust to sanction or foster an institution
which Is in its nature neither public or
democratic"
This resolution was adopted by vote
of nine to three, with one member not
voting.
Between so and 40 members of high
school fraternities and soroities earnestly
urged the union to recomend to the
Board of Education that they be permit
ted to continue their societies, justifytng
their existence by saying their objects
were social, charitable and educational.
Prior to the meeting a canvass was
made of the faculties to determine the
continent. on the frat question. In two
OF the schools the union members were
unanimously opposed to the continuance
of the 'frats." Several favored these
organizations.
The Central Labor Union at its meet
ing last night adopted a resolution, pre-
sented by John B. Colpoys, unanimously
declaring that "frats" should be abolish
ed from the high schools. Robert Jones.
chairman of the legislative committee.
was instructed to urge this policy before
the Board of Education.
The Board of Education will hear Mr..
Jones, representatives Of the teachers
union and others in the Franklin School

In the past seven years the cost Of liv-

unit, and In the District the advance has
been greater and the average salary has

Salaries in the first, second third and

scientific revision to make them conform

The Library of Congress and other
government departments are filled with
cases of such inequalities and lack of ap-
probation for experience and faithful

House Committee on Labor.

OF an exceedingly large salary to be-

The Federal Reserve act provides that

TELEPHONlNG FROM THE BODY
French Scientist Has Made a Discov.
cry Which Has Ipterested His
Brother Professors.

Professor d'ArsonvaI lately present
ed to the French Academic de Mede-
cine an interesting series of researches
made by DR.. ]. Glover upon new
method of telephoning in which the
microphone transmitter is placed
against the human body. He had the
habit Of making an auscultation of pa
tients by using telephone transmit
ter placed upon the body. while the
observer listens in the receiver, and
found that when the person spoke his
voice was heard in the receiver much
more distinctly than in the usual way
of speaking before the microphone.
In fact, the sounds are transmitted
better by the body than through the
air, and all outside noises are elimi-
mated such as often cause disturb
ances. Thus it is an easy matter to
telephone with face and hands free
and with the transmitter applied, say.
on the chest or back. In this case the
voice is heard in the receiver with re
markabIe clearness, and this precision
is also shown by the oscillograph
curves which he made Such a meth
cd of telephoning might possibly be
put to practical use.

The hit or miss" methods of measure
ments are the cause of poor results.
Cooks as well as other workmen
should have good tools to work with
if they expect to realize success.
There are standard spoons and meas
uring cups on the market that are
full measure, and there are those
which lack from one to two table
spoonfuls in cup. Be sure that
those you buy are full half pint cups
and spoons the standard size. Sixteen
tablespoonfuls Of material will be
found in the standard measuring cup,
sixty drops are in a teaspoon and
three teaspoonfuls fill a standard ta-
blespoon.
In using a tablespoonful of material
| it is leveled off with a knife, so is the
! teaspoon and the cup. Baking powder
and soda should be free from Jumps
and hghtened by tossing before meas
uring. In measuring flour the average
| cook takes too much by dipping it in
/ cup or shaking it down when meas
uring Flour should be sifted before
measuring, then lightly dropped into
tn cup with tablespoon and
smoothed off with spoon or knife. In
taking the measure for half teaspoon
| full or any part, fill it full, level with a
knife and cut down through the center,
from the handle to the tip, pushing
! off the half, or divide in thirds by
marking the full spoon crosswise.

water, uncovered, will be more digesti
