BRIDGEPORT BOY
 AT BOSTON TECH
 WILL GET DECREE
Arthur E. Keating Among Group to Enter Govern
 ment Work.

As an evidence of it's desire to do, the most possible under the existing condition of war with Germany, the of Technology has recommended for degrees those seniors who have enter ed military or naval service or have gone into industries directly connect ed with the war.
 In this group is Arthur B. Heating of 893 Seaview avenue, Bridgeport, who has been recommended for sthe de- gree of Bachelor of Science, and this will be conferred on him at the com ing graduation exercises in June. MT. Heating is already enrolled in the group taking intensive studies for fu- ture examinations for the navy and Twill be present at the graduation.
 The preparedness of the Boston Tech has been remarkable and is bas- ed on the fact that war is great problem similar to many commercial problems and the purpose of the In- stitute curriculum is to fit young men to solve business problems. As soon as the war was declared President Maclaurin notified Pres dent Wilson that the resources of the institute laboratories and faculty were dI IIl0 SeIVlC0+ Ol the government III whatever way might prove best. The faculty and upper c1assmen a year and more ago organized an engineer ing corps and since that time have been engaged in special studies in Modification, may reading and other supplementary work leading to use fitness in the field. To this corps the government sent this year an officer for it's instruction The student body organized comimttee to look the lwar matter over, and this committee reported that lower classmen had bet I ter finish their education at Tech, and tseniors had better not enlist in the
 ranks, but offer themselves in the Engineering Corps, Ordnance depart
 ment or Signal Corps where their spe- cial training would make them most
 useful. This is the basis of the pres
 ent movenent of seniors.
 Long ago the Alumni office began
 a Who's Who of Tech brains, and has
 listed the abilities of some five thou sand of the engineering experts of the lcountry. These men are constantly being offered for service as the gov
 ernment calls for them. Then. again the Tech alumnae have offered the I services of seven hundred we'll train led women in positions where they can I be useful.
 The measure must still further in- c1ude special courses leading to ma l val or military efficiency, summer
 work to bring the juniors into service Iearlier, while the Institute has been
 selected for one of the training
 schools in aviation.

NOT LIKELY TO ISSUE
 STATE AUTO REGISTER

Robbins B. Stoeckel, newly ap- pointed automobile commissioner, said yesterday that it was unlikely. that the state would issue any auto mobile register this year. The use of the register by the police of the state has not been of a general na- ture. as the departments have used the telephone to get information, dis regarding the registers which many times were a1ltiquated. The issuance of registers involved an expenditure of about $2,000 and state officials be- lieve that this expenditure can be cur tailed.

WEED IS
 ENEMY TO HOME
 GARDEN SUCCESS
Gardener Should Choose Bright Sunny Day to Ex-
 tirpate Garden Danger

Every weed is an enemy of the
 -soldiers of the commissary" who
 are making gardens.
 All these troublesome vagrant
 plants, that. gain footholds in the
 garden, forage upon the plant food
 and water which should be avail
 able to build up food plants.
 They stunt some vegetables by stealing their sustenance and
 crowd out and shade others.
 From morning until night weeds
 that are allowed to grow in a
 garden work steadily against the
 interests of the gardener; and the
 longer they are left undisturbed
 the greater becpmes their capac- ity for harrH
 If you have not begun to free your garden crops of the weed enemies that are probably attacking them now, you should lose no time in beginning your cam npaign. It is warfare that you will have to wage. off and on, all sea- son but if you bring superior force into play early. you will be able to con fine the enemy to a. struggling of fensive that will cause slittle destruc- ton. .s x .Tl VI
 In this warfare the hoe is your heavy artillery and is to2be depended upon chiefly for action in the open. Weeds are the most effective weap- ons for close action. Neither tool, however, will wholly do away With the necessity for hand-to- hand struggle to uproot the persistent weeds that grow closely about the stems of the smaller plants you wish to protect, and which yield only when they are pulled bodily up by the thumb and finger.
 The fight on weeds should begin as soon as 1t Is possible to distin- zuish easily between them and the garden plantlets. It is even possible to do much efrective work in killing weeds between the rows before the young vegetables make their appear ance, provided the exact location of the planted seeds Is marked
 The gardener should choose bxi8lat, sunny day for weeding- Al ss1ch a time even weeds which are only partially severed from their roots will have little chance of sur viyfnR the withering' rays of the sun If wedding operations are conducted on a cloudy or damp day. however many of the weeds that are incorn- pleteiy severed will take fresh growth
 Weeding does more than free the garden of Undesirable plants: The digging incidental to renewing tht weeds also serves as a cultivation. Al soon as the weeds have been dug ur the roughened ground should be care fully smoothed with a rake.
