predicts that gardeners may now
venture safely to plant spring vege-
tables. A considerable period OF
moderate and warm weather may be
expected, was the Weather Bureaus
prediction.
The gardeners of Washington will
get busy from now on, said Charles
F. Nesbit. a member of the central
committee, this morning. Mr. Mes
BIT expressed the belief that the best
results would be obtained from gar
dens planted about April 10.
"Of course, beets, potatoes, and
early radishes and onions have been
alright SO far, but now the more ten
der vegetables can be planted with
fair degree of safety
A plot of 100 acres OF farm land
for the use of the city gardeners
was offered the central committee by
Mrs. Corcoran Hill. The land lies
east OF the Eastern Branch between
Benning road and Anacostia and is
known as the Smith farm.
Several demonstration gardens
have been selected by the committee.
but their location will not be pub
lished until an investigation has been
made to see whether they are prop
erly centered for the needs OF the
communities.

STRATEGIST UPSET
BY, WOMEN RIVALS
Photographer Finds Fear OF
D. A. r. Candidates Clash
ing Is Unfounded.

A humorous situation which might
well be turned into a curtain raiser
was enacted between two prominent
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion in local photographers gallery
yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey,
state regent OF the National Society
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, and Mrs. George C. Squires, of
st. Paul, Mimi, both candidates for
the office of president general OF the
society. met in the studio of a local
photographer, where there are numer-
Gus small dressing rooms for patrons.
The photographer at once scented
passage-at-arms between the two can
didates, or thought he did, and as
Mrs. Squires vas the first to arrive,
he hustled her into a dressing room
and partly closed the door to save her
meeting with Mrs Guernsey. The
latter has an unfailing sense of
humor. and as she caught a seconds
glimpse of Mrs. Squires, peeped
around the door and said good morn
ing.
"PoIitics Among Women"
Mrs. Squires answered quite cheer
fully, and even cordially, and upset
the Photographic strategist almost to
the point of collapse when she called
after Mrs. Guernsey, Are you going
to sit in an evening gown" and got
the answer back, Indeed l am" Il
am in an afternoon gown" was Mrs.
Suuires' retort, whereupon Mrs.
Guernsey laughed back. We'll, you
had better get into your evening
gown and look your prettiest."
And it is thus politics Is waged
among women" walled the surprised
photographer; who has probably
posed more politicians, men and
women, than any other man in Wash
ington, and who is now official pic
bure taker for the annual d. A. r.
Congress, which opens Monday al
Continental Hall.
For Education Of Aliens.
Mrs. Guernsey and Mrs. Squires are
both intensely interested in the edu-
cation of. aliens, one of the CHIEF
causes for which the society OF the
d. A. R. was founded.
With the fresh patriotic movement
| set afoot by Mrs. William Cumming
Story, the outgoing president general
a splendid hit OF financiering will be
required. Supporters OF Mrs. Guern'
sey are laying much stress on the
fact that she is the wife of banker
and herself conversant with banking
laws and great financial transactions
