10000 LOCAL PUPILS
have HOME GARDENS
School Official Tells How Children Are
Helping Hit Old H. c. of L.

More than 5000 local school children
are helping to solve the high cost Of hv-
ing problem by tending home gardens
after school hours and on Saturdays.
This fact was made known yesterday
by Miss Susan B. sipe, supervisor OF
school gardens. Miss Sipe says pupils
are not given credit for gardening work
done at home, but that 1t has increased
twofold since its inception a year ago.
Between SIS and $40 season Is made by
these children. she states. Last year the
Board of Education noted that 100000
penny packages Of seed were sold to
school children.
Prizes are offered each year for sue
cessful gardening, and the flne points
pupils learn about agriculture at school
have been transplanted to the home gar
den spots with surprising success. This
work on the part of children Is being en-
couraged by the board. and plans arc
under way to enlarge its scope In future.
Credit is given where children tend
gardens at school. This may be extended
to home gardening when q system of in
specting home gardens can be worked
out
The Department Of the Interior is aid
ing in the conduct of home gardens by
children in many Southern cities, notably
in Chattanooga, Tenn, and Atlanta, Ga.

Bill WOULD PREVENT
EXPORTING OF ARMS
Ohio Representative Introduce: Meas
ure to Curb Munitions Traffic.

representative Hollingsworth, of Ohio.
Yesterday afternoon introduced in the
House bill to prohibit further export
from the United States of arms and mu-
nitions OF war The two-fold object of
tnis measure is to conserve munitions in
the United States and so prevent extor-
uonate prices in the event of war and to
aosolve this country from responsibility
for aid in continuing the war in Europe.
The penalty for violation of the pro-
posed law would be confiscation OF the
carrier In which munitions are exported,
nnes up to $4,000. and a maximum peni-
tentfary term of ten years. The bill was
referred to the Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce
Another preparedness measure was in
troduced by Richard Olney, ID, of Massa-
chusetts, in the form of a bill to estab-
lish unit Of the Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps in a National Guard organiza-
ton In every State and Territory in the
United States. 1t was referred to the
Military Committee. =

.REDFIELD COMMENDS
D. C.. PAPER CAMPAIGN
Calls Pupils Activities Fine Example
of Cooperative Thrift"

"A fine example Of cooperative thrift
is what Secretary of Commerce Redfeld
yesterday termed the work OF Washing
ton school children in collecting old pa
pers and magazines for the beneft of the
fund for Fairgrounds and other social
activities in the public schools.
In the daily commerce report he COM
mends the work to the attention of the
press and school authorities over the
country. He again calls attention to the
importance of saving rags and papers in
view OF the marked increase in the price
Of paper.
Secretary Redheld says: "It is at once
interesting and instructive to reflect upon
the saving that would have been made
had the children of other cities generally
throughout the country been equally in
spired and efficient as the Washington
children have been. II is not too late.
II the fine example that has been set by
the cooperation OF the Washington press
and the public schools shall spread
throughout the land. the saving will
amount not to thousands alone in value,
but to millions. The movement in Wash
ington is not concluded, but is still pro-
gressing with vigor."
The latest reports from schools show
that 1000 pounds Of paper have been add
ed to the collection. OF this amount, the
Bell School contributed 40 pounds. The
Greenleaf School took second honors,
with SSS pounds, and the Lincoln School
ranked third. with 70S pounds. To date
more than $50 tons have been collected,
from which a sum in excess of 5000 has
been realized.

Kansas City, Mo-. Dec. 9.-Demon Rum,

been deposed from his place as the king

birth CONTROL Held
fTHICALLY CORRECT
Prof. Fite. of Princeton. Declares Ques-
ton One for individuals.
Special to Ihs washinston Herald.

bpec1A 70 In9 W8nfnaTon Herald.
Princeton, N. J., Dec. s.-That birth
control is ethically right is strongly de-
Tended by Professor Warner Flte, OF
Princeton University, in an article which
is shortly to appear in the international
Journal Of Ethics.
Going directly to the root OF the mat
ter. he says: This is the conception un-
DERIVING the hostility to birth-control; to
interfere with the processes Of reproduc-
ton for purposes of our own Is to set
aside the viii OF. nature" He proceeds
by showing that this opinion is based on
the prevalent biological conception OF
man as an animal species.
Professor Fite points out that In the
contemplation Of the similarities between
man and the lower animals, as revealed
by the theory of evolution, the differ
ences were completely lost sight of.
I hold that the ways Of nature are su-
thoritattve for men only SO far as they
commend themselves to human intelli-
gence in the satisfaction of humanity ap-
preciahle needs" he says; that these
needs must in some sense be the needs
of humanity itself; and of humanity in
the present tense; and that, as authori-
tative upon the individual. they must be In
some intelligible sense his own needs. So
far as the ways OF nature can be COM
pretended by US, it is both our right and
duty, as intelligent beings, to control
them for our own uses. This applies both
to the regulation of the number OF on
spring and to the meaps of regulation.
And make express mention of the
means, because the means appear tc
raise an even deeper ethical question

Manufacturing Sin.

Painting the horrors of man,
pleasant indulgences, such a.
smoking and dancing, drinking
and going to movie shows, has
been the occupation of many Of
our refOrmers for twenty OF
thirty years. We are pretty wei
awake to the dangers which Turk
for our impreSSionable and sug
gestible city youth We know
the danger of masquerade balls.
and all the degrading evils of
close dancing have been borne in
upon us. The pictures offered
us include descriptions of weep
ing mothers and fathers, speak
ing with tremulous voices. 1t is
all agitating, and we wipe out
one sin after another.
But the question cannot help
presenting itself whether or not
these agitated defenders of virtue
are not themselves IN the bust.
ness of manufacturing sin.
An unfortunate pedagogue,
whose son is under arrest, at
tributes his downfall to the early
use of cigarettes. Cigarettes
more than any other single in
iluence wreck the lives of boys,
in his opinion. He has probably
, opposed cigarettes all his life.
But was it not the prohibition
rather than the cigarettes them.
selves that wrecked the life of
his boy?
If society We're to prohibit. to
take an extreme case, any re-
moval of headgear in public
places, if society came to regard
such an act as immoral and de
structive through rendering the
offender liable to colds in the
head, would not the violators of
this rule of conduct be led to
more and more despicable things?
