PLANNING THE GARDEN,

Garden making time is almost here.
The first thing to do in making gar
den is making plans. The plans made
will depend on the size Of the space
available for a garden. Vegetables
suitable for a small garden are dwarf
beans, beats, carrots, lettuce, onions,
dwarf peas, radishes, spinach, toma-
toes and turnips. Larger gardens
should have in addition cabbage, Gu
cumbers, caulifower, celery, eggplant,
parsley, peppers, potatoes, squash and
sweet corn. I'm northern Minnesota
tomatoes, egg plant and peppers can
not be grown successfully
The plan for the sowing of such
vegetables need not be elaborate. It
may simply be list of rows for
the garden and the distance the
rows are to be apart. It should be
drawn up on heavy paper which may
be handled while planting the garden.
It should be remembered that in some
cases two of these vegetables may be
soWr together, the one maturing
early enough to give more room for
the other, and that sometimes quick
maturing vegetables may follow in the
space from which other quick-matur-
ing vegetables have been gathered.
These changes should be taken into
consideration in planting the garden.

LUMBER GRADING EXPLAINED d
TO MINIMIZE CONFUSION

Grading has been one Of the myst-
cries of the lumber business. Years
of experience are required before
one can become proficient in grading
lumber even of a rather restricted
range of species, and very often an
expert in grading under one set of
rules knows little Of the rules used
for other species and other parts of
the country. A publication just is
sued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture as Department
Circular ga, Elbow Lumber is Grad
3D." gives in few pages the essent-
ials Of nearly all the grading rules
now in use in the United States
The hardwoods, according to this
publication, are largely graded under
the rules of one association; while
the softwoods are graded under a
considerable number of rules. Not
only are the different kinds of soft
woods graded under different rules,
but the same kinds are, in a number
OF cases, graded under different rules
IN different parts of the country and
even IN the same regions. Such a
condition causes frequent misunder-
standings between buyer and seller
and is confusing to one not familiar
with the grading situation. It is for
the purpose of helping to minimize
the possibilities of such misunder.
standing that this pamphlet is is
sued.
1t is pointed out that "the grading
rules in general use at present with
very few exceptions have to do only
with defects and do not take into &C.
count the quality of the wood itself
That is, if two boards of the same
species are clear or if they have
similar defects, both boards are
placed in the same grade regardless
of the quality Of the wood itself
AS a matter Of fact, the wood in one
board may be dense, heavy, and
strong, and the wood in the other
light and weak. For some purposes,
such as siding, ceiling, or finish, it
may not matter whether dense or
lightwood is used; but for other
purposes, such as vehicle parts,
structural timber, or flooring, where
strength or hardness is a prime re-
quisite, the wood must be dense to
give satisfactory SERVICE"
The Forest Service has for some
time advocatd the adoption of the
density" rule for the grading of
lumber in which strength is a re-
quirement. Two of the largest lum-
Der associations have adopted this
rule. 1t requires proportion of
one-third summerwood the hard,
dark-colored part of the annual

least six annual rings per inch, and

Marie's Perseverance
Won Her Success.

II Marie Carroll had not been a per-,
severing young lady she might now
be a saleswoman, manicurist or ste
nographer. She came from the
State OF Washington and her first
engagement in the East was with the
Poll stock company in this city.
With this experience she wandered
to New York, hearing that to be
great actress one had to go to the
metropolis. After a little trouble she
secured one of the minor roles in "Old
Lady 81" In this production she was
to play the part OF a lovesick girl.
She was supposed to burst into a room
on several occasions and throw her
self into the arms of her young lover.
Miss Carroll had never played a
part quite like the one above de-
scribed, and. try as hard as she knew
how, she could make no headway with
it. One day during rehearsals Miss
Rachel Crothers, who happened to be
directing the rehearsals, called Miss
Carroll before the entire company and
told her she was a dire failure as an
actress, that she was the most afro
cious actress on the face of the earth,
and the only reason she was being
kept in the part was because she.
Miss Crothers. could not find anyone
else to fll II. Miss Carroll replied
that since that was the case she
would leave right then and there, and

A Few Facts About
Earle Foxe.

Earle Foxc. the popular leading
man OF the Garrick Players. who re-
turns next week ready for the open
ing Of the new stock season at the
Shubcrt-Garrick Theator Monday
evening, May ,, is described as one of
those actors too seldom encountered

work is a wealth of experience gained
in that most excellent actors train

in various productions. Just prior to

the Garrick players. Mr.. FoXe scored
an emphatic personal success play
ing opposite Thomas A. Wise in
"Cappy Kicks" Succeeding William
Courtney in that play at the Cort

place in the affections of tho Chicago

The Washington times., 1920-04-25

One OF the highlights OF the weeks
performance OF "Dodo," the Marshall
Hopwood : DeSylva Royce musical
farce at Polls will be the appearance
of Donald Macdonald in an important
role that calls for artistry of thespian,
musical and terpsichorean accom-
plishments. And Donald is well
versed in all three.
But the particular attraction about
Donald is the fact that last season
he was an Important member of the
Garrick Players. the summer organ
ization that made new dramatic his
tory for Washington. Donnie was
one of the big favorites of the Gar
rickers and but for. the opening Of
"Dodo" would be with the players
again this season.
1t Is quite a coincidence that the
Garrickers should open their season
next week and that Donald should be
here this week. It is also barely po,-
sible that Donald will be able to join
the Garrickers a little later in the
season and play with them until the
fall, when "Dodo" is slated for a run
on Broadway.
At any rate the members of the
Garrick Players will be on hand to-
night to welcome Donnie and to root
for George Marshall, who. with l.. NJ.
Bell. founded the Garrick organiza-
tion.
Those who knew Dehnie well last
summer have a very pleasant evening
in store for them, with "Dodo" as
his singing and dancing are among
the big hits Of the show.
