late Senator Frank G. Newlands, to be

the Chevy Chase schoolhouse last night.
The matter was preached by E. F.

asking for the appointment of a COM
mittee looking to the formation of a
"Newlands Memorial Association" the
purpose of which will be to erect a
suitable memorial. Mr.. Colladay and
DR.. Egbert a. Clark were constituted
the committee.
LAS far as possible your vegeSa bies
should be grown in your own back
yard this year" Mr.. Colladay told the
as chairman of the local garden COM
mittee, the great need that exists this
season for home gardening.
There will be only half the amount
of vegetables produced this season by
the market gardeners who supply
Washington as was grown last season,
Mr.. Colladay warned.
The association voted to form war
garden club, and appointed George
Sudworth chairman of a committee
to forward the project.
The association went on record as
favoring $1,000 as the minimum salary
for grade teachers in the District
President D. F. Hewett was re-elect-
ed for the ensuing year, and the fol-
lowing officers elected to serve with
him: William s. Elliott. vice president:
Howard Coombs. secretary, and DR.. Egg
bert Clark. treasurer.

WALL STREET Market
VERY SLOW AND STEADY

NEW YORK, March 7.-Today's stock
market was decidedly slow and unin-
teresting during the greater part of
the session, with a more or less positive
trend toward weakness in the morning
hours, coming back in the noon hour
making very even keel for quotations,
the earlier losses being more or less
generally recovered, with here and
there slight additional Improvement
What'little trading there was seemed
to be between room traders scalping
back and forth, with the bulk of the
business confined to half a dozen or so
stocks, and with the relegation of the
greater part of the list to the inactive
group
Steel common furnished it's usual share
of the trading, opening at COZ, yester-
days closing figures, dropping to 90ls and
coming back strong to sos.
Republic Iron and Steel becomes lit
tie more active each day. 1t started at
1875. 4 better than it closed. dropped to
1874 and came back strongly to so.
Mexican Petroleum, another favorite.
was low at s4A and high at 96A, where
it held fairly steady.
Atlantic. Gulf and West Indies was very
firm early at III. but dropped to 1l0A,
after which it rallied steadily to 1872.
Mercantile preferred was also stronger.
Railway Springs. an equipment stock
that has been extremely slow for some
time, advanced sharply ~ points.
Baldwin Locomotive remained steady
Motor shares had difficulty in holding
their own. Studebaker and General Mo-
tors both losing a point to two points
The railways were neglected. and to
this there was no exception unless Y
point gain in Union Pacific may be re-
ferred to as such. st. Paul fuctuated
between AK and 42k

TREASURY CERTIFICATES
ARE OVERSUBSCRIBED

Secretary McAdoo announced last
night the oversubscription of the issue
of S500.000,o00 Treasury certificates of
Indebtedness, subscriptions for which
closed yesterday. The certificates were
the first to bear an interest rate of Az
per cent, and were issued in prepara-
ton for the third liberty loan
subscriptions in every district ex-
cept Philadelphia equaled or exceeded
the tentative quota" said Secretary
McAdoo's statement. Larger subscrip-
tions of the New York banks were
scaled in order to enable allotment in
full to be made to other subscribers
The tentative New York quota of
$194,000,000 was largely in excess of its
quota on the basis of the resources of
the New York district and it is
source of particular qualification that
the subscriptions in other districts
have shown such a substantial i'm
provement. This means a healthy dis
tribution of the certificates which will
strengthen the whole financial posi-
ton
