Changed Times.

In other times. when spring
was near, the fans would talk.
untiring, about the team we'd
have this year, to pennant fame
aspiring. Down at the Blue Front
sauerkraut store we'd gather, in
1.-THE cleaning, and thrash the
prospects DER and DER, Our long
chin whiskers combing. But now
| seldom hear spiel about the
|southpaw pitcher; the talk is of
!the steering wfeel. and mixtures
lean or richer. We labor at our
punk cigars. and talk. like men
and brothers, indorsing certain
brands of cars, denouncing sundry
others. We bake our stiff and
ancient limbs, and lay aside our
crutches, and talk Of rubber tires
and rims, of windshields. brakes
and clutches. We talk of trips
we mean to make, when winter
hits the gravel; for all things
mundane are a fake excepting
motor travel. To talk base ball
| sometimes try, but find the
going rocky; the talks of climb
ing hills on high, when other cars
went balky. | fear me much the
grand old game has lost its lofty
station in this our town-per-
haps the same throughout the
car-struck nation!

SOCIETY WOMEN FORM
CAPITAL GARDEN CLUB
Plan Is to Cooperate With Other
Organizations of Similar
Purpose.
Vegetables and Flowers and Beauti-
fcation of Washington to
Come Within Scope.

Added impetus was given the COM
munity and back yard garden move
ment. already spreading to city-wide
proportions. by a meeting yesterday of
a group of society women at the home
of Mrs. Samuel Spencer. 2012 Massa-
chusetts avenue northwest. when plans
were made for the formation of new
organization to be known as the Cap
ital Garden Club.
The aim of this club, as outlined by
Mrs. Charles W. Wetmore. one of its
organizers, is not to encroach upon the
efforts already being made for the de-
yelopment of home gardens, but to
supplement and encourage their work.
Two ways in which this may be done
are under consideration. One is to Of
fer prizes to encourage competitive ef-
fort among members of these organi-
cations. The other is to establish
fund from which teachers may be paid
TO supervise and demonstrate home
garden work.

Present at the Meeting.

At the meeting yesterday in addition
to Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. wetmore were
Mrs. Cleveland Perkins Mrs. Ezra But
Ter McCagg and Mrs. W. H. Holmes.
Many more women prominent socially
and in philanthropic work have prom
ised their cooperation, and the group
also has been promised the aid of such
experts as David Fairchild of the De-
partment of Agriculture and Miss Su
san B. Sipe. director of the school gar
den work in Washington.
The idea to form such an organiza-
ton. Mrs. Wetmore explained, was the
outcome of efforts to arrange for the
convention here of the Women's Ma
tional Farm and Garden Association,
TO be held in the auditorium of the New
National Museum. April 25 and 26. That
convention is expected to be of value
in furthering efforts at community
gardening here and one of the principal
topics for discussion at its sessions will be
the question of increasing the food sup
ply and reducing prices by means of back
yard gardens.
Central Body Lacking.
When Mrs. Wetmore and other mem
bers of the association sought to find
some central body to make local plans
for entertaining the convention they
found no gardening club here. so they
cooperate with various organizations
which are interested in different phases
of this work, and correlate their eff
forts. They already have consulted
with Mrs. Lyman F. Kebler who is try
ing to encourage home gardening work
through the social center at the Wilson
Normal School. and they intend to CO.
operate with Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter,
who is doing similar work through the
n Chi
Achievement League.
Others who have promised to support
the Capital Garden Club. not present a
the meeting Yesterday, are Mrs. Paul
Bartlett. Col. w. w. Harts. Mrs. Charles
u. Walcott and Dr. L. o. Howard
Formal organization will be effected
at meeting to be held at the home of
Mrs. Perkins, 1701 Connecticut avenue,
March FL At that meeting the board
of governors will be empowered to
elect officers for a year. These gov
ernors are now being invited to serve
In that capacity by the organizers
Purpose of the Club.
The club. according to Mrs Wet
more, not only hopes to encourage the
home garden movement. but to aid
every effort to beautify Washington.
AS formulated at the meeting yester-
day the purposes of the club are:
To inspire and stimulate an interest
in gardening and in the cultivation of
the soil
To arouse concerted and popular
pride in the development and beauti-
fcation Of the National Capital and its
environs.
To encourage the establishment in
Washington of a great and beautiful
Botanic Garden worthy of the capital
and of the nation
TO share the advantages of asso-
cation through correspondence and
conference with other gardening and
agricultural clubs"
Mrs. Wetmore said she personally is
greatly interested in the establishment
OF botanic garden here like the Kew
Gardens in England. which will serve
as a demonstration for both flower and
vegetable gardens to the thousands of
visitors who come to Washington each
year.
