APPEAL OF CHILDREN
GETS SMALL RESPONSE
Juvenile Protective Association
Fails to Raise Needed 5000.

The appeal of the Juvenile Protec-
tive Association of the District of
Columbia, sent out before the sign
ing of the armistice did not bring re-
sponse to the full amount of this
years budget. 1t is felt by the as
sociation that If the 5000 quota is not
reached. the community will fail in
its duty to the patriotic men who SO
loyalty and unselfishly left their
homes and their children and have
given their best to their country, and
to the equally patriotic men and
women who. while remaining at home
sacrificed much for the cause.
Those desiring to contribute toward
protecting the children of Washing
ton should address their subscriptions
to John Dolph, chairman of the A.
nance committee. 2O3 Eye street

as Miss Janesta Leroy, seventeen
years old, OF 1916 Mckinley street,

and that this girl had not seen Miss
Leroy.

the Treasury Department, to search
for her.
Miss Leroy's parents are dead and

than 500.

ISTAR'S HUSBAND
JOINS THE NAVY

Miss Florence Bennett, Fred TWINS
popular star with his "Majestics," at
the Gayety Theater this week. stood
behind the iron gates at the Union
Station early today and waved a
moistened handkerchief until the New
York fast express had vanished on the
iron pathway on its way to the big
city.
Waving good-by to the New York
express isn't Miss Benefits usual

ing his brief visit in Washington
Cunningham appeared with Miss Ben
nett in their new speciality, You

offering this season.
This is the first time in many sea-
sons that Miss Bennett has been alone
on the stage. Cunningham, who en-
Joys a wide reputation as a song
writer and producer. has always ap-
peared with her. and the moistened
handkerchief, the tear and the sorrow
at parting all go to prove that the
married life of these two stage IA
Vorites Is happy.
Miss Bennett has been in burlesque
five seasons, and each year the pop
ularity OF the star Fred Irwin dis
covered seems to be enhanced. There
are sound reasons for this, however,
as the Gayety favorite is a versatile
actress in addition to being a clever
singer and Coincidence.

WAYS TO THE Is PER
CENT HOG INCREASE

Pork production, to attain the 10
per cent increase declared needed du-
ring 1918, according to the agricul-
tural production program recently an
nounced by the Department of Agri-
culture, will be increased economi-
cally by breeding for two litters a
year, by saving through better care
larger number of the pigs farrowed,
by growing pasture and forage crops,
by using wastes, especially town and
city garbage, by proper rations of
concentrated feeds, by the use of self
feeders, by pasturing alfalfa and
other legumes and other forage crops,
by hogging down grain sorghums and
corn, by finishing hogs to heavier
weights, up to about 275 pounds, and
by preventive measures which will
keep hogs free from cholera, tubercu-
