Guard Of the District of Columbia.
Brig. Gen. Anton Stephan, command
ing general Of the local National
Guard committee Of the Chamber of
Commerce. said that he would hold
several conferences with members OF
Congress next week. with q view to
pushing the proposition.
Following the conferences, Gen.
Stephan said that he expected a bill
would be introduced in Congress max
ing provision for such an armory
When 1t is introduced 1t will be
pushed to a hnal conclusion.
It Is proposed to have the building
erected primarily as . suitable arm
ory for the local members of the

mental. Gen. Stephan pointed out. but
guard organizations could be quar-.
tered and carry on their training
work. He suggested that 1t could be
of poured concrete and could be
quickly erected when Congress made
provision for 1t. 49, -. - :
Z The need for an armory for the
growing guard is an imperative one
at this time, and Gen. stephan said
that he would make efforts to have
those in Congress favorable to such
. proposition push it when the bill
is introduced. The present armory
facilities, he said. are entirely tnade-
quate unsuited to the work which
III. 1nard noe has to perform to
maintain its efficiency.

HOW TO GET GARDEN
SEEDS FROM GOVERN.
MENT FREE OF COST

(Thrd day OF Bdekyord GdrdsHny
Vegetable gardens are urged be-
cause they are OF the greatest prac-
tical use in the home. But that is
no reason why some flowers should
not be planted to lend to the beauty
of your plot. The writer always
manages to squeeze in few as
tors, nasturtiums and sweet peas
around the edge of his garden.
This list OF vegetables is recon-
mended. Cabbage, potatoes. lettuce,
carrots. radishes, lima beans, wax
beans, peas, tomatoes. turnips, on-
ions, beets and corn. Whether or
not YOU include all these, or add
others, depends upon your desires
and the amount OF space you have.
A few suggestions as to the plant
ing and cultivation OF some OF these
will be given in later articles.
Experience is the best teacher in
gardening, but whole lot can be
learned through conversations with
your neighbors who have conducted
successful plots Living near you
they are most capable OF telling
what should be done to your par
ticular kind OF soil to get the best
results and they know when is the
best time to plant, and what. Get
as many hints from them as you
can.
The cost OF seeds is not great.
In fact, you can get them for moth
ing by writing to the Department
OF Agriculture, Washington, d. L,
or your Congressman, asking for
garden seeds. They will send you
an excellent selection Of dependable
material in return. If, however,
YOU do buy seeds, get only the best.
1t pays in the long run.
In the case OF tomato plants many
gardeners, not wishing to bother. or
lacking the time, to raise the plants
directly from the seeds, purchase at
the grocer's good-sized sprouts
started in a hot-bed. The writer,
however, starts his own plants from
seeds set in small flower pots filled
with rich, black earth and placed
inside a window where the sun
strikes them all the day. They are
kept well-moistened, and when the
sprouts are abou, FIVE or six inches
high they are carefully transplanted
to the garden.
Other kinds OF seeds may be
started in the house in the same
way. Three-quarter egg shells
make good containers for the earth
in which the seeds are set

All cases OF truancy--or hockey

of the trade.

Charles Dickens. the man who

told of an accident he had in church
when he was little boy.
'I look at my mother; she pretends
not to see me. look at boy in
the aisle and he makes faces at me. |
look from Mr.. Chillip, in his Sunday
neckcloth, to the pulpit and think what
a good place it would be in which to
play, and what castle it would make
with another boy coming up the stairs
to attack it and having the velvet
cushions with the tassels thrown
down on his head.
''In time, my eyes gradually shut up
and from seeming TO hear the clergy
man singing drowsy song in the heat
