WAGE APPEAL

Cabinet Member Holds U. S.
Employees Cannot Go Be-
fore Congress.

1T is improper for a Government
department or any Government em-
ploye, either individually or collec-
lively to engage in attempting to in
nuence Congress in the passage of
legislation"
This ruling OF a Cabinet officer this
morning came as a bomb shell in the
ranks of reclassification workers and
a special meeting OF the educational
committee of the joint conference on
reclassitication was Immediately
called for tomorrow night to take
action.
The cabinet member, whose name
Will not be disclosed until the meet
Ing communicated his attitude to the
conference in reply to a request for
permission to hold a netting of en-
ployes in his department in the in
terests OF reclassification. Such per-
mission was refused for the above
reasons.
Leaders In the rehabilitation move
ment were surprised at such an ex-
preston, since thus far they have been
promised cooperation from officials
on every hand. 1t is the first opposi-
tlon encountered in the campaign.
Reclassification workers declared
today that they have gained suffici-
ent strength to successfully combat
all enemies who would discredit their
movement.

MEREDITH PRAISES
ZOO FARM PUPILS
Secretary of Agriculture Ad-
dresses Prize Winners in
Five Md. Counties.

Addressing 200 boys and girls from
Maryland farms. prize winners in
competitions in their respective Coun-
ties, e. T. Meredith. Secretary of Agri-
culture, this morning declared that
the boys and girls club work now
being carried on in rural districts is
one of the most effective means of
promoting agricultural progress that
has ever been devised.
The work of teaching Americas
farmers of tomorrow" how to raise
crops and stock and the work of
teaching the rising generation of
farm girls how best to perform house
hold and other tasks, supplies an in
valuable short cut to better methods,
the Secretary said. Into the instruc-
tions given by the club leaders has
been condensed the best information
gained by centuries of effort and by
study of the nations leading agri-
cultural experts.
! The Secretarys address was made
out of doors. at the north front of
the main building of the Department
of Agriculture, and followed the pres
entation of diploma by President
A. +. Woods of the University of
Maryland. This institution conferred
the degree Of doctor OF agriculture on
Secretary Meredith last June, but be-
cause of his illness the Secretary was
unable to receive the degree at that
time. President Woods spoke Of the
work which the Secretary of Agri-
culture had done in promoting better
farming and better conditions on the
farms and referred to his special in
terest manifest for many years past,
in the club work for boys and girls.
The boys and girls, grouped in a
semi-circle about the secretary, re-
sponded to his address with enthusi-
astic cheers and yells, and with the
singing of Maryland, My Maryland"
Second only to their interest in see
ing and hearing the Secretary was
their interest in the squad of photog-
raphers who were eager to secure
views of the event and OF various
groups of these young folks who had
made such enviable records in their
various counties.
With few exceptions, each county in
the State was represented by three
boys and two girls, winners in county
pig club, corn club, potato club, and
home economics club contests. The
event this morning marked the cul-
mination of a "Club Week" which
these youthful representatives of
Maryland farms spent at the State
University at College Park, taking in
tensive courses in various branches
OF agriculture and home economies.
The boys and girls expenses for the
entire week were paid by the Mary
land state Bankers Association
Accompanying the delegation were L.
G.. Jenkins, boys club leader for
Maryland; Miss Alice s. Jones, assist
ant girls club leader for the State
and other leaders from several OF the
counties.

Among the interesting statements made

food. which not only increases the size
of the br+. but actually changes its sex
as well.
Mr.. Underwood. in a recent issue of
the Rocky Mountain Husbandman. goes
into the life and work of the bee from
birth to death. He says:
In starting Il new colony. take
Il queen and put her in ii brood hive

worker bees. The queen lays eggs in
the cells. the eggs hatch into grubs and
the worker bees feed the grubs. 1t re-

larvn to grow. Then the cell is sealed
over with wax and at the end of II
days out comes II full-grown bee.
IF the queen is taken from II hive.
or disappears from any cause. the
worker bees raise another queen. They
do this by enlargins cells intended for
worker bees. and feeding the grub on IA
rich substance called royal Jr..y.' This

and wonderful process of nature. not
