the Smithsonian Institute, are being

National Capital and to the public

The collection of pictures includes
altogether ffty-iive sketches. most Of
the flowers shown being from the
vicinity of Washington. One of
those calculated to be of the great

the mountains OF the south and is
known as the "Shortia." 1t is one
OF the rarest of American plants,

of North and South Carolina 1t was
discovered more than a century ago
by one of the early botanical eX-

years. This means that no further

pose of finding one-a trip which
was ultimately successful. 1t is a
handsome plant, with large white
wax flowers.
Another particularly interesting
one depicted is the Venus F'lytrap,
which. because of its cupious habit
of trapping and devouring insects,
is probably the most remarkable
plant of the eastern portion of the
United states. IT is found in sandy
hogS near the coast both of North
and South Carolina. When an insect
alishts on one of the leaves of this
growth the leaf closes UP like a
book. interlockinG the fringe of
hairs on the edges and imprison!nS
the insect. The leaf remains thus
closed until the unfortunate insect
is absorbed.
The collection includes sketches OF
about dozen species of native
orchids. one of which was reported
hundred years ago and never found
again until last year. Others of the
more striking flowers of the vicinity
of this city include aZaleas, rhodo-
dendron, gentians, trailing arbutus.
Canada lily, magnolias and sklnk

WELFARE EXHIBIT
CHARMS CHILDREN
Display at Public Library d.
rected by Local Committee
Well Attended.
SHOWS WORK FOR YOUNG

That schoolboys and schoolgirls of
Washington are taking very decided
interest in the big child welfare exhibit
now on view at the Public Library under
the auspices of the local childrens year
committee is evident to any visitor to
the display. Many of those who come
alone are younger than one would ex-
pect to be attracted and are almost in
the infant class.
Although arranged to some extent
definitely for children. and in the hope
that they would attend, the numbers
who have come to scrutinize the various
parts of the exhibit have proved espe-
cially gratifying to those in charge. All
afternoon, from the time school is out
the youngsters are trudging up the
stairs to the big exhibition hall, and
they miss mighty little of what is on
view. too

Of Particular Interest.

OF particular interest and appeal is
| the library exhibit. with its fascinating
but eminently suita ble~ juvenile reading
matter. which is there not only to be
admired and noted, but to be looked into
and enjoyed. Grown-ups come to the
exhibition in numbers, too-their atten-
ton is taken by printed hand -illumined
charts more than is that of the young
people. but it is surprising how many
very small lads and lassies stop and
read with apparent interest statistics
such as this one:
"Of S19 occupations given 26 white
and no colored were learning trades"
The occupations referred to are
those of Washington boys and girls
who left school within the past year
or two, tempted by the possibility of
making disproportionately high pay
The chart is in connection with the
main activities of the childrens year
program.
Here is another:
Limited schooling makes blind
alley job. What of the child's fu-
ture?" A blind alley never gets one
anywhere: neither do most of the jobs
taken by boys leaving school too soon
Some of the handsomest of the charts
are the work of Mckinley Manual
Training School pupils. Other charts,
appropriately illustrated, deal with
the health chores" of the health
crusaders" and it has been found al
most impossible to keep enough cru
sade literature on hand, SO fast do the
youngsters take away the leaflets.

Afternoon for Children.

Washington youngsters participat-
ing in the local health crusade" now
in progress throughout the whole

o'clock this afte: noon at the exhibit
\ group of interested schoolboys were
wandering through the exhibit the
other day and looking with interest
at some of the charts bearing a re}as
ton to the health crusade.
They said that a lot of their fellow
pupils did not seem to be realizing
the importance of the health chores
recon mcndea for all schooIboys and
schoolg iris. and asked the people in
charge of the exhibit if they couldn't
have a meeting of their own some day
FOR the benefit of all local school
pupils.
The answer was in the affirmative,
and today was set aside for them
