zoning commission at today's hear

NO. B. which lies south of O street
and between Rock Creek and 18th

blocks east of Lafayette Square and
the White House. No one appeared
to speak for district No. 1. which is
south of K street and between the
White House and the. Capitol, but a
report embodying a number of sug-
gestions was filed by the advisory
committee for that district.
George E. Edelin,, acting secretary
for the advisory committee of dis
trict No. 3. presented report which
approved in general the zoning plan

however, that residential screen

ASPHALT-TOPPED,
CONCRETE STOPS
FOR STREET CARS

The District Commissioners announced
today that the street car loading plat
forms on 14th street between G street
and New York avenue, now constructed
of wood. will be replaced by perma-
nent platform of concrete with an as
phalt surface. They will be ten inches
above the street level The new plat
forms will cost $1,000.
This is the first step toward estab-
fishing permanently the wood platforms
which were placed at all downtown
transfer points as an experiment sew
eral years ago.
In addition to protecting pedestrians
from traffic while waiting for cars, the
platforms make it easier to board the
cars. If this first permanent platform
proves successful more of the wooden
structures probably will be replaced.

this recognition implied rendering Cen

France will send a high commits

Two reasons were given by the for

Wrangel. The first was his promise to
assume all the obligations of the
former Russian government. The
second. was his promise to give Rus
sia democratic government.
France notified Premier Lloyd George
yesterday of her action to this effect. it

newspapers printed editorial comment
this morning on the address of Pre-

before the house of commons yester-
day, because the text of his speech
was not received here until late
hour last night.

Journal expresses fear that the speech
will encourage the authorities Of

DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION
Shallow Method Is Favored as Result
of Many Comparative Expert
ments by Specialists.

Many comparative experiments OF
deep and shallow cultivation have
been made, and on the whole the re-
suits are in favor of shallow cultfva-
ton, say specialists Of the United
States department of agriculture. The
occasions when deep cultivation is pref
cradle are few. If excessive rains
have packed the soil and kept 1t water
soaked. deep cultivation will help to
dry and aerate it. Breaking the roots
of the plants must be avoided so far
as possible If roots are broken the
plants will rapidly produce other roots.
but it will be at the expense Of vital
ity and the food supply. After the
plants have reached a height Of 2 or
3 feet, the soil even in the middle of
the rows should not be cultivated deep
er than inches. and usually shall
lower cultivation will prove better.
A loose soil mulch 2 or 3 inches in
thickness should be maintained. 1t
retains soil moisture and facilitates
the penetration of rainfall.

Emerald Rarest Gem.

Owing to world shortage, emeralds
have become the rarest and most ex-
pensive Of precious stones, says the
Straits Times, Singapore. Prices dur
ing the past four years have been
bounding up until the emerald Is now
four times its pre-war price.
The reason for the scarcity Of the
stones is the poor output from the Co
lombian mines, which are government
owned and produce 95 per cent Of the
worlds supply. These have not been
working FOR seven or eight years.
A five-carat stone, sold at London
recently, fetched $500 a carat.
At Anakie, Queensland, Australia,
some very beautiful velvety green sap
phires of great brilliance are mined,
and the miners are trying to. persuade
jewelers. to accept them as substitutes
for emeralds.i
