me rules governing the match were
received at Quantico. Va. where the

the conventional five How 20 signal
the value of six was the problem
Major ". Duly Smith Of the
Marines. the American team coach,
solved the problem. The scor.pg. disk
which showed white on one side for

red. Shaking the shimmy' was the
range nickname that was promptly
agreed on by the nine Army, four

WATERaTHE GARDEN
IN SYSTEMATIC WAY

IF YOU cannot water all the garden
every day, make a systematic plan
out, just as you would about the week
ly cleaning of the house. And re-
member that no watering is better
than bare sprinkle of the surface of
the earth. 1t is far better 10 water a
plant only once a week and then to
soak its roots and the earth far be-
low it's roots, than it is to sprinkle it
every day. For watering the top of
the soil cGlls the roots to the surface
for water. and makes the plant weak
and unable to endure the very heat
and drought from which you are try
ing to protect it. Deep watering draws
the roots down into the earth, and
then when a real drought does come,
the plant is able to find some mois-
ture
There are some plants that do not
need frequent watering. 1t is safe
rule to water plants in bud or bios
som more literally than those that
have already lowered which do not
need such constant watering. But
dahlias and chrysanthemums do not
need watering oftener than once a
week. twice in very hot weather, even
when they are Towering. Then they
should be thoroughly soaked. Aside
from these sturdy pants, try TO water
the others at least three times a week
in hot weather. Take one part of the
garden to water Monday and Thurs
day, another Tuesday and Friday and
another Wednesday and Saturday.

Sees Loss In New Rates

Ever since 1908 there has been a
deficit. with the exception of one
year, 1918, when the net income was
something more than $40 900, he said.
At the old rates for the first six
months and the proposed rates for the
following six months ii was estimated
that there would be deficit OF S64.-
527, while even if the proposed rates
could have been in effect for the en-
tire year there still would be a deficit
of s25,S87 To show just how unde-
sirable the communication traffic is, Mr..
Baetier referred TO table made up 10

Of s212.36S.
General Manager Porter testified
that the road was operated by the en-
gineering and operating firm of Peck,

retainer of 81 600 a month for serv-
ices and that his salary came out Of
this amount Peoples Counsel Gold
smith made a comparison between the
operating expenses of the Short Line
with those OF the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis on car-mile
basis, showing that the expenses of
the Short Line were greatly in excess
OF those of the competing road. Mr..
Baetjer insisted however, that COM
parison on a car-mile basis was mis-
leading.
1t was brought out that it costs the
Short Line $40 ,155 year to use the

About a week ago this paper pub

and they got free transportation in

These free riders numbered 7S,000 in
1917: 1900 in 1913. and $1,000 in
