CITY BEAUTIFUL
 HINTS FOR SPRING
Garden Don,ts

Don't allow any plant to develop see if you want it to keep on blooming afte it's first sflowering period. The aim of al plants is to reproduce themselves. an this can only be done by seed develop ment. If we interfere with the ordinar process of seed production by cuttin away all flowers as soon as they begin t fade. the plants will at once mako an other effort to perpetuate their kind. ano as the first step in this direction is tn production of flowers, it will be readil seen that it is possible to make many o them bloom all through the season.
 Don't expect good flowers of any kin unless you are: willing to give them tn care and attention they require. If yo are not willing to do this, or if. for an reason you cannot do it, don't attemp gardening. Have enough regard for tn flowers to not undertake their culture un less you can do them justice.
 Don't neglect a plant today and thinl you can make up for that neglect b being very good to it tomorrow. Plant must receive care when it is needed and this care should be given regularly Instead of spasmodically. to be effective.
 Don't think you can learn all there 1 to know about gardening from books. Books will furnish the theory. You mus contribute experience in order to attai success.

New York, March 31.-(Special.)-B. M. Levy, representing L. Saks Clothing com pany of Birmingham, is in town today and is ensconced at 22O Fifth avenue. Of course, 1t is to be regretted that this Magic City clothing house representative did not reach New York in time to help us celebrate St. Patrick's Day. However, that hasn't a great deal to do with the story to come:
 Did you ever get into a back room, pull down the shades invite few friends and enjoy a social poker game right in the heart of Birmingham? And if you did, didn't the possibility of legal troubles pre- vent you from placing your bets as judi ciously as you might have done had you been care free?
 Well, in Gotham you can play poker free from all annoyance now. A. local magistrate has decided that 1t is a gen. tleman's game and merely social d. version indulged in at the best clubs. The case came before this magistrate yester- day and he could not call it gambling, he said. It was argued that it was gam bling, and that large sums of money changed hands.
 The magistrate insisted that it was done

FOR ARMY INCREASE

Senator Cummins commended the pro- visions for increasing the standing army because present relations with Mexico necessitated a great military force. T think we ought to increase the regular army as much as possible" he said. T am fearful, however, that the increase provided for will not be found. The army is not attractive to young men. The com pensation Is small, the duties are repug- nant and except in times of grave dam ger, when a high pitch of patriotism is aroused, I am afraid we will not be able to recruit any considerable numb er."
 Senator Nelson, republican. insisted that constitutional limitations would pre- vent the National Guard ever being force on which the central government could depend.

new prOJeCIS III tHe TlVcIS anu iie@i poi D bill would not be tolerated.
 There is at least one new project in cluded Seven hundred thousand dollars for the improvement Of East river, New York, is appropriated.
 TAMMANY PLAYS A CARD
 Around that appropriation hangs the tale which is proving of such interest to the republican or anti-administra- tion faction in Congress.
 It is alleged that the following took place:
 Representative Murray Hubert of New York, delivered a letter from Rep resentative John J. Fitzgerald of the same state and chairman of the com mittee on appropriations. to President Wilson, requesting or advising the President to send word to the rivers and harbors committee, to take on the East river project notwithstanding that to do so would violate the rule.
 In this letter Mr. Fitzgerald is quoted as having said:
 "The representatives from New York will be place in an impossible position If they support reveneue measures which will largely increase the burden of their constituents, while failing to obtain Legislation deemed essential for the se- curity of the metropolis of the na- tion."
 In protesting against this violation of the rule of inhibition against the inclusion of new projects in the rivers and harbors bill. a minority of the members of the rivers and harbors committee, joined in the following re- port:
 MINORITY IS CRITICAL "The secretary of the President ac- cordingly wrote a letter that it was the desire of the President to have the East river item included in the bill. The sole reason that the item was included was that the President asked that it be. The emergency that caused this item to be made an exception was not one of national preparedness, but of politics Many other items of equal or of even greater merit, were ruthlessly voted down."
 And thus the question is asked: Has the President thrown bone to the -lean tiger of New York?"
 The probability is that other sec tions of the country, denied participa- tion in the pork barrel" feast, and having observed the ease with which the representatives of Tammany "put it over" will begin clamoring to such an extent that other violations of the rule against new projects will be the obvious result.
 At any rate. an interesting situation will be precipitated.

On the other hand, Senator Wadsworth. republican, praised the bill-the Chamber lain substitute for the House measure as without doubt the best military leg islation that has ever been presented in the history of the United States" Senator Wadsworth agreed, however, that it could be improved and advocated another amendment by Senator Cummins to ere ate a National Guard section, composed of National Guard officers of 10 years experience, in the general staff.
 Senator Thomas, democrat spoke at length on the question of national de- fense, advocating reasonable prepared ness, but belittling the expressed fears of so-called militarists in America that the United States was in danger of for eign invasion.

Tuskegee, Ala, May 25.-Robert
Russa Motion, former Commandant at
Hampton Institute, Virginia, was in
stalled formally as principal of the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial In
stitute today under circumstances par
ticularly impressive. This being the
first installation of a principal of Tus-

was focused on Tuskegee. For several

old friends of the late DR.. Washington
had been sending in letters indicating
their intention to be present. For more
than a week before the commencement
exercises began these visitors started
their pilgrimage to Tuskegee. Special

but also from Chicago, from Virginia
and other points north.

Never in our life have we
ever heard any man, white or

wish every Negro in Kansas
City could have heard him.
