In rest rooms employing matrons
many activities can be carried on
which otherwise would not be possible.
The matron not only sees that the
rose room is kept in a clean, sanitary
condition at all times. but she may

matron takes charge of the woman's

STILL TIME TO PLANT GARDEN
By Experts of Agricultural Department.

After May 20, it is safe in this region to
plant almost any of the heat-loving garden
crops, such as eggplant, peppers, lima beans,
sweet potatoes, cucumbers, melons, etc., and
it is not too late to plant most of the early
crops. There is still time to make a planting
of peas with good chances of success, but
such crops as parsnips, carrots, satisfy, rad
ishes, lettuce, spinach, and other crops that
do not stand heat well, should be planted with
the thought that they may not do their best,
especially if extremely hot weather comes
before they become we'll established
This being an especially backward spring,
it may be best in this section to defer the
planting of eggplant and peppers until the
ground warns up little more. Planting
may be done on light, warm soils at least
week sooner than on heavy soils, hence the
gardener must be guided in making plant
ings by the location and character of his SOIL
There u.s. of course, some variation in the
region for which this advice is given The
planting of the more tender crops may be
made in the southern part of the region a
week or so before similar paintings should be
gotten under way in the northern portion.
The advice is based on the average date of
the latest killing frost in this zone, and the
TACT that this is an extremely late spring
makes it altogether probable that the planting
of the more tender crops will have to be de-
ferred until conditions are just right. Be-
glnners in gardening should consult others
more experienced.

HOLLANDS REQUEST REFUSED

According to an announcement from Wash
ington, on May 21, Holland has been notified
by the United States government that her re-
quest for three ships, now in American ports,
to carry the balance of the grain promised that
country by President Wilson cannot be granted,
and that to prevent further delay in the move
ment of the grain, Dutch ships should be sent
for it at once
Officials are at loss to understand the mean
ing of Holland action, though it is considered
probable that the attitude Of Germany is re-
sponsible. Her request is especially surprising,
in view of the fact that more than 10000 tons
of Dutch shipping are idle in Holland ports, ac-
cording to information in the possession of the
state department.

RAILROAD PRESIDENTS DISMISSED BY
DIRECTOR GENERAL MCADOO

Every railroad president in the United States
was relieved from active duty, on May u, by
Director General McAdoo. A federal director
will be appointed for each road, responsible
only to the railroad administration.
It is considered probable that in many cases
the president of the road may be named federal
director but in some instances this will not be
done The Director General has announced that
whenever possible federal directors will be ap-
pointed from among the operating officers OF
the property, in order to avoid disrupting any
roads working organization unnecessarily.

that If any representatives Of any belligerent
country desire seriously to lay before us any

He added however, that there is no evidence
now, nor has there been at any time, that Ger
