ment and the interstate commerce

It is estimated that something like
1000 persons have thus found them
selves transferred to a section of the
city unused by them heretofore in their
daily traverse between home and desk.
Old routes of travel have been abandon

or five great structures devoted to gov

The new Interior Department build
ing is mammoth structure in itself.

partment which have hitherto occupied
rented quarters have been drawn I'M

has spread out and taken up the rooms
vacated by the Interior Department
people.
Some of the clerks, while enjoying
the new, fresh quarters, with more
air. light and quietude, do not. it is
said, regard the change as an unmixed
blessing, especially the women. 1t

shopping district, to which many of the
more populous bureaus were adjacent. 1t

the way to or from Office and do little
purchasing, whereas now they must

APPEALS TO HOUSEWIVES.
Secretary Houston Says to Can and
Dry Fruits and Vegetables.

An urgent appeal to every housewife

today by David Franklin Houston, Sec
rotary of Agriculture.
Every housewife this year should
restore to her homo the often-over-
looked home Industries of canning, pre-
serving. picking and drying Of perish
able fruits or Vegetables" the Secre-
tary states
1t is pointed out that the large num-
Der of back yard gardens will yield
crops of vegetables which may be con-
served for winter use.
Canning calls for no special skill
and for little equipment beyond a wash
boiler and jars" he states Fresh
products, cleanliness and heat are the
chief requirements. as even sugar is
not essential for canning fruits under
modern procedure. Fruits and vege-
tables. moreover. can be dried efficiently
in the sun, over a range or gas stove, or
before an electric fan"

SAYS MANY REFORMS
ARE NEEDED IN DISTRICT
Vice President Marshall Intimates
Action by Congress at National
Conference Meeting.

Need of numerous reforms in the Dis
trict Of Columbia was emphasized by Vice
President Marshall in an address last
night at a meeting Of the National Con-
ference for Elementary Education at the
New Willard Hotel. The Vice President
intimated that steps would be taken by
Congress to bring about these reforms.
and, following the meeting, stated that at
health regulations-would be brought
about as soon as he. the District Com
missioners and a number Of members Of
Congress could get together with the Dis
trict health officer and confer.
Vice President Marshall especially de-
cried baby farming in Washington, say
ing that children were placed for care in
houses which were not licensed. This con-
dition. he said, should be remedied.
During his address, which dealt for the
most part with changes needed in the ele-
try. he declared he did not believe in eff
ciency-at least as commonly understood
today.
THE German government and the Nor
mon Church are the most efficient things
on earth. and don't want anything to do
with either one Of them," he said.
He prophesied that this country would
become a socialistic democracy, whether
you and will have it so or not" I'm
less the children are properly fitted for
life. he said, this republic will not endure.
He urged instructing children along lines
in which they can make livelihood, and
urged the employment of psychologists
for each school who could assist child
in finding out what he or she was best
fitted for.
Golden Age Of Education.
Rev. Earle Wiley termed this the
golden age Of education, giving as the
chief reason that this is SO that I'VE are
ready to learn" Speaking Of the inten-
sive training being given to the men who
are to command the forces of the United
States in the war with Germany. he de-
clared that 1t was even more important
that the teachers Of the country be prop
erly trained.
Mrs Champ Clark, wife Of the Speaker
Of the House Of Representatives, declared
the public schools are lacking in that they
do not teach a definite knowledge of any
one thing. She spoke Of the difference
in the present educational work and that
Of her day.
Conrad Syme, corporation counsel, pre-
sided. He spoke briefly, expressing the
belief that the elementary school sys-
tenn Of the country could be improved in
many ways. He made a strong plea for
reliability.
