RICHARDS GROVE NOW
 SAILORS RECREATION SPOT Formal Opening Was Held on Even- ing of the Fourth.

The opening of Richards Grove on the Thames on Thursday evening un- der the management of the naval au- thorities and with the assistance of the War Camp Community service, was most suspicious. The grove had been cleaned and newly lighted and was policed.

 Lieutenant Tollman and wife were at the head of the large delegation from the base, and from now on the chaperonage of the socials at the grove will be under Mrs. F. J. Alexander Ladies who served as hostesses or Thursday night were Mrs. Alexander Mrs. F, E. Comstock, Mrs. Grace Nal lory, Mrs. Frederick Perkins, Mrs Lillian Robertson and Mrs. Osborn. Commander John Rodgers of the submarine base, Lieut. Commander P McD. Moser and Mrs. Moser were also present
 Mrs. F. J. Alexander and her aides had devoted considerable time and eff tort to make the opening a proper ont and were congratulated by the off cers present on the success of the af. fair.
 It is planned to have dancing there nightly in the future, to which all ner of the service and their girl friend: will be invited Further plans are tt he announced regarding rules ant conditions prescribed so that civilian,

A Whale Caught in The Thames.

The capture of a real whale eighteen feet long and weighing half a ton, ln the River Thames just above the Parii- ment Buildings, constitutes something new in London riverside history.
 Splashing and laundering in shallow water about 100 yards from the Bat tersea Bridge, the young whale quick ly attracted attention. It had failed to take advantage of the ebb tide and as trapped on the foreshore. It was killed with a boat hook and asmall party of boatmen raised it by means of a crane to a wharf where it was measured and weighed.
 Under a strict interpretation of the British law, the whale might have been communicated by the authorities as the property of the crown. Any whale captured in British waters con- stitutes a Royal perquisite. The tail, according to law, would belong to Queen Mary and the head to King George. It is generally believed that this partition was originally decided upon in order that the Queen should always have a stock of whalebone, but the founder of this act of courtesy made an error of giving her the wrong half
 The sturgeon also can be claimed as a royal perquisite, and this right has been exercised in recent times. A sturgeon caught in the Thames was served at Queen Victoria's wedding banquet, and a few years ago a Welchman captured one in a Welch harbor complied with the dictates of | loyalty by sending it to King George.

SQUASH BOXER PEST
 TO HOME GARDENS
Supervisor Charles Hasberg Issues
 Advice For July And August.

The squash borer is the subject of a word of advice given to gardeners now by Supervisor Charles A. flag berg.
 He has the following timely advice:
 The squash borer usually lays it's eggs the latter part of June, and not being particular where they are laid, may be found on most any portion of either squash or pumpkin vines. Up- on matching the larvae bores into the base of the stem and starts feeding, eventually causing the vine to wilt and die.
 Keep a close watch of your vines during July and August. One of the surest signs of this pest is sawdust or droppings found near the base. Take a knife and slit the stem of the vine lengthways until the borer is found, then kill him. If the vine has not been wilted it will usually recover,
 You will find it of great help to cov- CT the joints of the vines with earth. New roots will develop thus strength ening the plant. Plant extra seed and destroy vines affected. Crops planted late are not often injured to any great extent.
 The striped cucumber beetle is often confused with the three line potato beetle is somewhat smaller and a brighter yellow with a black head. The larvae are small white grubs which usually feed on the small roots of the cucumber or tunnels in the stems near the ground. Young vines can be protected by mailing four boards together in the form of a square and covering the top with fine netting. Place this over the hill.
 l Spraying or dusting young plants 1 with arsenate of lead will also be found quite effective. Pull up the pea vines that have stop ped bearing and plant white rock tur- nips for winter use. ] Now is the time to set out late cab ba ee

MICHIGAN SENATOR HAS
 PRAISE FOR BRANDEGEE
Comments Connecticut Senator For
 Vigor of His War Views,

The other day Senator Brandegee, in the United States senate, offered a resolution directing the president to raise an army of 5000, 900 men. The resolution did not prevail, because the senators did not want to direct the
 president, preferring to leave the mat
 ter to his discretion. In the course of the debate Senator Smith of Mi chigan took occasion to commend the attitude of the senator from Connec-
 ticut as follows:
 MT. President. the senator from Connecticut has a record here that is absolutely unimpeachable upon that point. From the very beginning of the war he has stood like a stone wall l against half-heartedness and com promise and hesitation and delay; and l commend him for it. The senator for Connecticut by his example and
 Influence with his associates, furnish cd much of the patriotism vigor, and strength upon which we have builded l our military strength. His voice in | the chamber has never sounded a l false note: and I commend him for
 it. Unfortunately, however, I do not | believe that the German government
 will understand our attitude unless 1 the senate ratifies it, no matter what
 the senator from Connecticut or any other senator has said or how he vol l ed, the senate is on record against it

 tee on military affairs has brought in something upon which we can all 1 agree. When that time comes. I dc
