Feature of Plan Under Way for
City-Wide Garden
Movement.
PROPOSED BY THE STAR

| Following The announcement con-
tanned in The Star last evening that
free fertilizer might be had for home
gardening upon application to the Dis
| trict building ninety seven letters ask
| ing for this fertilizer came in the
morning mail. addressed to Miss Ger
trude Markey, secretary of the central
committee on homo gardens
Many more telephone calls came to
various departments in the District
building applying for this fertilizer,
but all such applicants were told to
place their requests in writing.
The fertilizer is to be contributed by
tho street cleaning department. The
sweepIngs from those streets used
principally by automobiles will not be
turned over 10 the gardens. since the
oil would bo bad for the soil Only
that portion which IS rich in fertilizer
content will be ,iistrib butcd.
The central committee has requested
The star to make it plain that all re
quests for this fertilizer must be ad =
dressed to Miss Gertrude Markey, Dis
trlct building, and no telepho.2s re-
quests will be received.
Plans for City-Wide Movement.
WIN tnt 10 W To-Day
of John Doiph, chairman of the central
committee, definite plans began to take
shape for the city-wide promotion Of
the garden movement.
Charles +. Nesbit, superintendent of
insurance, today was designated by the
Commissioners to represent the District
government in the movement. Mr.. Mes
bit will confer with Mr.. Dolph late this
afternoon The Commissioners are will
ing to assign a room in the District
building as headquarters for the central
committee. If such room is desired.
Mr.. Nesbits assignment to this work
is in line with that he has been doing
as member of the food investiga ton
the possibilities of the home-garden
movement
The food question now facing this ma
ton is serious one" Mr.. Nesbit said
today 4 doubt whether it's seriousness
is fully realized. The statement issued
by Secretary of Agriculture HOUSTON
urging more efficient methods u pro-
duction both for economic and patriotic
reasons emphasizes this point.
THE most effective gardening work
I personally know about was in Phila-
delphia. In that city in one year the
vegetables raised on home gardens
aggregated a value of S135.00o. That
sounds like a large sum. but it repre-
sented only 5 cents on every 800 that
city spends for food. Hence any garden
movement must be city-wide and gen.
eral to make any impression upon the
total supply.
"The amount of food used in Wash
ington is indicated. in part. by the
fact that the garbage here yearly
reached 10o.0o0.O0o pounds. The fact
that household economy is becoming
more rigid is shown by the falling off
of this amount in proportion to the
population and a decrease in the rich
ness of the content"

Plea Made for Aid.

Tentative plans Of the central COM
mittee include calling for assistance
of all citizens associations and all
parent teacher bodies and home and
school associations. In this way 1t is
believed the entire city may be honey
combed with organizations supervising
the gardening work in their particular
communities.
The committee will endeavor to
centraIize the work by obtaining the
cooperation Of all city departments
and organizations, including the
schools, the Fairgrounds, and the clubs,
which already have taken up the work.

corps Of assistants is engaged in
making costumes which exactly sim

hairy covering for the entire body
but a head and face as well. BY the
use of peculiar spongy material
and an ingenious arrangement of
wires in the masks, the act of OPEN

Primitive Decorations

Townsend, an early Western trav-
eler, tells that one day he met about
hundred Indians of the Sac tribe.
They were dressed and decorated In
the true primitive style, their heads
shaved closely, and painted with alter
nate stripes Of fiery red and deep
black, leaving only the long scalping
tity Of elk hair and eagles feathers.
Each man was furnished with good
blanket, and some had an underdress
of calico, but the greater number were
entirely naked to the waist The faces
and bodies Of the men were, almost
without an exception. Enthusiastically
painted, the predominant color being
deep red, with occasionally few
stripes Of dull clay white around the
eyes and mouth. The sQuaws,
Of which there were about twenty,
were dressed very much like the men,
and at little distance could hardly
be distinguished from them. Among
them was an old, superannuated crone,
who. soon after her arrival, had been
presented With Q brokep umbrella. The
bnly use that she made Of It was to
wrench the plated ends from the
whaleboues, string them on a piece Of
w1rA take her knife from her belt
With which she deliberately cut q slit

Physical Courage in War.

Nearly always physical courage re-
suits from comparative lack Of per-
cepton. It leaves out many consid-
eratons, some Of them important. In
wartime it finds justification in its
generosity. To the cause it is work
Ing for it freely gives all that it has
behind it, including love Of life itself.
It actually seems to court death.
With Joy it takes the road Of sacrifice.
For this reason it must always be
beautiful. And with it there must 60
q marvellous exhilaration, like spir-
ltual intoxication. When 1t reveals
itself in mass courage, multitudes of
men exposing themselves for the
same cause, 1t must open up the pro-
6oundest depths Of emotion.

Looking Forward.

To refuse to be satisfied with ones
accomplishments, however well a work
has been done, or however much it is
praised, is essential for real progress.
When q noted astronomer modestly ex-
planned his triumph by saying, 1T Is
because from the time was boy, no
matter what ] had to do, tried to do
It little better than 1t had been
done before" he suggested a worthy
purpose for everyone. For such an
Ideal is always looking forward; the
famous man considered not so much
what others had done as what he, with
the benefit Of others experience, could
do. And when he had done well, he
Thought not OF his past successes but
q his future possibilities.

OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT

We are told that those who
dance must pay the piper" or words
to that effect. and on that ancient
truism the plot of 1.-THE Piper's
Price" is based. Ralph Hadley has
discovered his first wife, Jessica,
and married q woman of an entire
ly different type-Amy Hadley, the
heroine Of the story. When making
the divorce settlement, Hadley and
Jessica retained joint control of
some shares of stock that would ex-
act a great financial sacrifice if dis
posed Of and the proceeds divided.
1t is this stock that brings Jessica
to Hadley's Office, at the start of the
narrative. Hadley foolishly invites
Jessica to lunch with him, and Jes-
sica goes. Amy has, meanwhile tele-
phoned Ralph to hurry home to
lunch because she has a secret to
impart that is too sacred to trans
nit over the phone. That morning
the family physician has told Amy
she would eventually have maternal
duties that would replace her obi
gations to society.
Mutual friends see Jessica and
Ralph at lunch. The gossips carried
the news to Amy. The wife is brok-
en-hearted and Hadley has difficult
ty in convincing Amy that his pro-
misses, to have nothing more to do
with Jessica, are sincere. Truth is
that i1adley has fallen in love, ali
anew, with his divorced wife, and
continues to shower his attention
upon her 1essica, to the neglect and
modification of Amy.
From bad to worse, the revived
relation between Jessica and Ralph
go on. Finally, in desperation, Amy
goes to Jessica and imparts the Sec
ret she had told Ralph she would
confide in him-but which, in his
infatuation for Jessica, he had new
err inquired about. Jessica's eye are
opened to the error of her ways and
the wrongs she has committed
against Amy, and when Hadley
again attempts to see her, Jessica
tells him that their relations must
terminate forthwith.
During all the years Jessica has
been divorced from Ralph her loyal
friend admirer has been Billy Kill
martin, who sees in the illicit rela-
tons between Jessica and Ralph the
only possible ending so it all. He en-
treats Jessica to marry him and his
devotion finally attains his purpose
for when Ralph calls one morning
to demand that Jessica renew their
old relations Billy is there to serve
as her excuse: she tells Ralph that
she and Billy are married.
Hadley goes home determined to
end his life, but at the moment he
is about to blow out his brains, the
family physician enters Ralph's
room and congratulates him upon
being the father of an unusually
healthy child just born to Amy. AS
day breaks in summer sky, Had
ey's better sense prevails over his
evil nature; he sees his folly and
turns again to Amy in the bright !
prospect of their child reuniting its
parents in their former state of !
happiness.
Don't forget that this is a Blue
bird feature and they are always
good.
