Keeping Il In the Families
The business continued to grow
and 1t was really big when, in 1887,
the big fire occurred and burned 1t
out of house and home. By that
time, sons of Stephen Irwin and OF
G. E. Phillips had grown up, and had
grown into the business. The answer
of the firm to the fates and the fire
was to make it larger than ever and
incorporate it under the name OF the
Irwfn-Phillfps Company. The stock
holders then were Stephen Irwin, c.
e. Phillips, !. A. Sawyer. w. s.. Phil
lips, John N. Irwin and Wells M.
Irwin. Stephen Irwin was president;
c. e. Phillips was vice-presfdent;
John N. Irwin was secretary-treas-
urer Wells NJ Irwin was manager
and has continued in that position
for the thirty years that have elapsed
since then.
Stephen Irwin died, rich In honors
by his fellow citizens, in 1894. He

Dandruff is the direct cause of

stored in their natural condition, dried
or canned for winter use. One Of the
important crops that can be grown on
the freed ground is late Irish potatoes.
Navy beans furnish substantial food
which is easily stored, and the pres
ent market prices make it worth while
in sections where they thrive to re-
plant space from which crops have
been harvested with this legume.
Other vegetables having consider
able food value from which choice
may be made for Late paintings include
sweet corn, string beans, late beets,
turnips, tomatoes, squash and pump
some sections, peas, spinach, and other
kins. AS far north as northern New
Jersey, southern Pennsylvania, central
Ohio, central Indiana, northern illinois,
and central Iowa, sweet potatoes also
may be depended on to mature from
paintings made as late as June 10 on
sandy land.
Among the less nutritious vege-
tables which may be planted in soil
freed by early harvests are late cab
bage and cucumbers. Winter onions,
fall lettuce, and fall radishes also may
be planted late in the season.
It is not essential, the specialists
point out, to wait until all radishes,
heads Of lettuce, and other early ma
turing plants are removed before
planting seeds or setting plants for
succeeding crops. Corn or beans, for
example, may be started in spaces
made in radish or lettuce rows, or be-
tween the rows. The radishes or let
tuce will then be harvested before the
late-planted crops heed all the ground.
Equally satisfactory results can be
obtained from the combination Of
other early and late vegetables.

REPLANf GARDEN SPACE

Now that radishes, lettuce, and in
somesections, peas, spinach, and other
early crops are being harvested, home
gardeners should be making their pre-
parations to utilize the freed space by
planting other crops, say specialists Of
the United States Department Of

TWO MAIN POLITICAL ISSUES

Suffrage and prohibition are likely
to be the only issues Of statewide
interest in the Ohio campaign this
year. The men who are against suf-
frage are, as general thing, against
prohibition and for the same reason.
Dry Republicans have billed Senator
Borah to tour the state. Ofrcourse
William ]. Bryan is to give a couple
Of weeks to the Ohio dry campaign
Former Governor Willis, cautious as
to where he stepped when he was in
the governors Office, has no such eau
ton now, and has already promised to
tour for the drys. Former Senator
Charles F. Dick is strong for prohibi-
tion and will be one Of the prohibition
orators, it is said. Senator Beckham
of Kentucky will be noted Demo-
crat that the drys will bring to speak
in the Ohio campaign.
In raising campaign funds, both the
drys and suffragists are likely to have
trouble. For with the demand for con
tributions for the various movements
connected with the war, the sources
from which those movements would
naturally expect to get their revenue,
will be pretty well drained.
With the liquor interests which will
be the Gibraltar Of the opponents Of
both the suffrage and the prohibition
movements, it will be a little different.
Their supporters will be as usual con-
tributing as they see It to a movement
! to save their very being, and they will
come across for this purpose whether
they also give to the patriotic and
philanthropic movements or not.

MEN OF FOREIGN LEGION
LEAD FIGHTERS Of WORLD
Conspicuous Body of the Defenders
Of France Extolled by
Robert D. Athey.

That there is no other regiment in the
world like 1.-THE Legion Etrangere,
Foreign Legion of the French Army
is the assertion of Robert y. Athey,
who has just returned to washington
after service with the legion. He plans
to enter the Aviation Corps or the
United States Army.
At times this legion, Mr.. Athey said
today, has been a small company, while
at other times it has had as many as
10000 men in its ranks, few of them
Frenchmen. but men who loved France
or loved to fight.
"In the wars in Flanders against
Charles of Spain." Mr.. Athey said, the
legion carried the brunt Of the battle
on it's bayonets. In Napoleon's first adj
vance into Italy 1t led the way. In the
records of the regiment are the names
of men from every country in the world
and almost every city. Turk, Russian,
Greek. Italian, Chinaman and Hindoo,
Irishman and Dane.
Until the present war the Irish and
Italian representatives surpassed all
others for honor and bravery. But on
the outbreak of the var several hun
dred Americans engaged, hurried down
to the Hospital des Invalides, over the
Pont Neuf and by Notra Dame to the
Rue st. Dominique.

ADJUSTMENTS
Belasco.

A play and an actress were introduced
to a most friendly Washington audience
last night when Laurence Eyre's new
drama, 'Driftwoed." with Fay Banter,
role, received its premiere at the Belasco.
Few, If any. Of the many productions
that have been given their initial
presentations in the capital have won
heartier applause The reception was
such as to fuily warrant the appearance
Of the author at the close Of the play to
offer personal remarks Of appreciation.
while the big audience was so insistent
in its applause after the final act that
the author finally acceded to calls for a
speech. Driftwood's' greatest appeal
is its naturalness. 1t is a simple story
taken from everyday East Side life.
melodramatic and not lacking in sincere
appeal to the emotions. If any of the
other acts could be classed as mediocre
there would be enough of merit left in
the fourth to sustain the play, but Mr..
Eyre has provided in every act sufficient
situation to compel interest. His crea-
ton Of the character Of Becky Bloch.
the granddaughter of an aged Hebrew
in herself finally enable, her to win
success as violinist, affords op-
portunity for some distinctive ST. %
work OF comparatively unfamiliar type.
The vitaltztng Of this role by Miss
BANTER was charming and convincing in
the lighter moments Of the play and
held earnest attention in the serious
passages. Mckay Morris, cast for the
principal male role. measured UP with
Miss BANTER in meeting the dramatic
moments, provided with q naturalness
that suggested nothing of the stage. In
fact, every member of the cast deserves
credit for intelligent and effective char
actefjzations. Artistically and scenically
the play. which is produced under the
management of William Harris. jr. Is
a gem.

for Douglas Fairbanks latest screen
exploits. Wild and Woolly." harked
back to the vigorous old-time melo-
drama and added the spirit Of the wild
west show, including the Indians. Her
chief character, which is. of course.
Fairbanks, is young man whose mind
and heart have stored up everything of
the frontier life depicted in fiction and
whose opportunity to revel in his ideal
comes when his father, a railroad mag
nate, sends him west to investigate
an investment proposition in a rich
mining section. The natives" soon
detect his bent and make things merry
for him by a fake express robbery and
KIDNAPPING. and he gets busy. A
novel twist is given the experiment
when a bad man really robs the express
train. and his confsderates. a band of
drunken Indians, really kidnap the

it last night found it Immense enter
