DAIRYING ON BETTER BASIS
One Of the Greatest Needs Of Indus
try at Present Is More Attention
to Breeding.

AT the present time one of the
greatest leeds of the dairy interests
in this country is that the Individual
farmer shall be more of student OF
the fine points of breeding Comparn-
lively few now pay much attention TO
that. 1t is not so with horses. We
take Il great deal of pains to breed our
ntnres to the best possible sire. We
have learned :hat it pays to do thus.
We get colts and they sell for better
price when we wish to turn them oil
The same attention might well be
given to the matter of mating cows
and bulls. If we ever get away from
tn" thousands Of cows that take our
good feed and our care and give bacA
not enough to pay for their Keeping,
We will have to get the best sires we
possibly can and mate them with COWS.
of known good qualities. Then dairy
ing viii come to q better basis. We
will all of us be doing business ut q

urging protection for the view of
the National Capital as seen from
Meridian HiC Park. Mrs. John B.
Henderson has sent letter to MEM
bers Of Congress reviewing the state
ment she made before the House
District committee last week in sup
port Of bill introduced at the re-
quest of the Fine Arts Commission to
limit the height of an apartment
house being erected on 18th street be-
The House committee authorized
Representative Focht Of Pennsylvania

House on this measure. The Senate
committee voted to table the bill. with
only two votes in its favor. cast by
Senator. Pheian of California. I'm
less the Senate committee reconsid-
ers this action the measure is def
nif~'v blocked.
The statement made by. Mrs. Hen
derson. and reiterated in her message
people behind the. new apartment
house had first applied for a permit
to the Capital Issues Committee, OF
which John Joy Edison Is chairman,
and had been denied.
After the signing of the armistice
ties and under the law the permit was
given. but at the same time. Mrs.
Henderson says. "the District Com

sent q report asking them to limit the
top Of this proposed building to 81
feet instead of II feet" Charles
Moore. chairman of the Fine Arts
Commission, also recommended to
Congress urging that the height be
limited to 81 feet.
Mrs. Henderson calls the attention
of Congress to action taken in Boston
and in Paris to limit the height of
buildings already erected when they
interfered with views of the city.
Mrs. Henderson also emphasizes the
fact that the view from Meridian Hill
Park il the only one remaining in the
capital and that it compares with
similar outlooks in Paris and Rome
which have been preserved for pos
tsrity.
