BOYS TO TILL ACRES
AT ST. ALBAN'S SCHOOL
Gardening as Means Of Doing Their
Bit Already Has Begun.

Gardening to do their bit by re-
ducing the high cost of living will
become the live wire activity" OF the
boys of st. Adams National Cathe-
draI School for Boys. according to a
statement by William II. Church,
headmaster OF that institution, today.
The garden work is to be done on
land adjoining the close of the Cathe-
drsl in Wisconsin avenue, near Ten
leytown. One-half acre has been
plowed and an additional acre and
a half will be put under the plow i'm
mediately. Two acres adjoining the
close. part OF a tract owned by

FAST TIME TO BOSTON.

Through train service between
Washington and Boston was restored
today, when the Pennsylvania rail-
road put the Colonial express back on
the schedule. The train left Wash.
ington at s:l5 this morning. and Is
scheduled to arrive in Boston at $40
tonight. thus making the through
trip in approximately twelve hours.
This reduces the running time be-
tween Washington and Boston by
about an hour. as compared with The
old through service. The through
service Is made possible by recent com
pletion OF the Hellgate bridge in New
York. and a joint arrangement with
the New York. New Haven ard Hart
ford railroad.
That the new train will prove popu-
lar with travellers between che North
ard the South Is indicated by the fact
that practically every seat on the
train leaving here this morning was
sold in advance. The southbound
train left RoSton at s:45 this morn
ing. and Is due here at $50 tonight.

said.

Nobody asked you to. she said.
And although the foregoing can't
be taken as a replica of the CONVEX
sation with Miss Marie Reynolds, Of
433 Sixth street northwest, it's indie
ative Of the way she sells her candy
every day.
Miss Reynolds sells candy. and IL
you don't want to buy it. why all
right If you do-thank you.
Better Than Most Mothers.
Some time ago. Miss Maries mother,
who could make candy better than
most mothers used to make, decided
TO swell the family Golfers by making
candy at home. Marie said she would
sell it. and she did and does. Does
to the tune of $3.50 a month-for that's
no family secret and Marie said it
could be printed.
She and her mother cook the candy
on the stove at home, and the only
OUTFIT they possess consists OF a
basket. a carton or so of paper bags,
several pots and pans and spoons. and
some boxes.
The boxes are used TO ship the
candy. Such has its popularity be-
come that the Reynolds family finds
a ready market for the candy in Bal
timore. Miss Marie takes II to Bal
timore in a basket, while 1t Is shipped
40 Norfolk in the boxes.
Comes Every Other Day.
Every other day sh comes into
downtown offices. with the basket
hanging on her arm. and pausing,
gives the room a critical and prospec-
tive glance. Then. spotting the
busiest man, she walks up to him. and
politely asks II he wants to buy any
candy.
Sometimes she gets turned away,
hut not often. The man she ap-
proaChes usually digs into a side
pocket-even at the last of the week
and pulling forth a dime buys some
candy like he wishes mother could
make.
