To Change Piumage of Canary

One Of the wonders that may be
wrought with the canary in captivity
is the regulation of the color Of his
plumage by feeding. That the color Of
canaries may be ,deepened or inten-
sified by certain color foods during the
mott is well known and sometime
ago the Department Of Agriculture at
Washington issued a pamphlet on this
subject. TumericS marigold flowers
saffron cochineal. annatto. port wine.
mustard seed and other agents rich in
color are often used for this purpose,
but Mr.. Wetmore says that these prob
ably exert very little influence. He
says that SO far as known all success
ful color foods for canaries have red
pepper as the base.

INJUNCTION IS ISSUED
TO CURB MINE UNIONIZING
Judge Holds Efforts to Organize
Nina Fields Is to Suppress
Competition"
RY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 21.-An
injunction directed at stopping the
United Mine Workers Of America from
efforts to unionixe the Williamson
coalfield. in West Virginia, where
miners have been on strike for more
than a year. was issued today by
Federal Judge A. B. Anderson on the
ground that the union was seeking
to restrain trade.
After Judge Anderson's announce
ment of the order some delay in its
formal issuance was occasioned. by q
discussion between court and counsel
as to the exact text Of the order.
The court did mot deny the right OF
workers to organize, but held the
miners efforts in West Virginia In
furtherance Of a conspiracy with op-
orators in organized union fields to
shut of the competition of the non
union mined coal. In discussing with
counsel the text of the order, Judge
Anderson said ,he would not enjoin
peaceful efforts" Of the union to or
ganizc West Virginia.
said: II am holding the effort to
unionize West Virginia is unlawful
in itself, because 1t is an effort to
suppress competition" The judge also
said he would enjoin the "check-off''
system of operators deducting union
ldves from miners wages.

THREE LOTS
FORPLAYGROUNDS

With the view to establishing pub
lie Fairgrounds for the children of
the District on three lots east of the
Union station. now under control Of
the architect OF the Capitol. Elliott
Woods, Senator Capper today wrote
to the District Commissioners asking
that they give the plan consideration.
Senator Capper. who is chairman of
the joint congressional committee on
schools in the District. has received
sociation letter asking that this
ground be turned over for playground
purposes. One of the three lots in
question was formerly occupied by
the Liberty Hut In the letter s9 to
Stull of the Citizens Association said:
Playground for All.
This space as we'll as the other two
lots Immediately north of ii are under
the supervision of Elliot. Woods. ar
chitect of the Capitol. Knowing as We
do the needs of the children Of our
immediate vicinity. we became interest :
ed in the suggestion made at one of
our meetings that these spaces could be
utilized for several play purposes by
children from more than one section
of the city, principally because of the
condition of the ground and because
of its central location and accessibility.
A committee thereupon called upon Mr..
Woods in regard to the matter. He
quite readily agreed with US as to the
practicability of turning the lots over to
some one in the interests Of all the
children of Washington. and not par
ticularly those who live nearest the
grounds.
MIR. Woods stated that if the mu-
nicipal Fairgrounds authorities would
apply for these plots he would see
that they were given playground
privileges upon them. All that is nee
essary. l believe. is A formal applica-
tion on the part of the District play
ground officials for the use of these
permit the playing of base ball, foot
ball or any other kind of a game. and
covers practically one city block. In
the situation that exists in this city
today, where organizations and in
dividuals are constantly calling at
tention to the lack of play space for
children, this offer of Mr.. Woods is
certainly a boon. and should, in our
opinion. be accepted very promptly"
Mr.. Stull said, further. that the citi-
zens' association had not been able to
get the District playground officials
to take any action in the matter SO
far.
Senator Capper is much interested
in the playground situation here, and
recently asked Secretary Davis of the
Department of Labor to have the chill
dren's bureau make a survey of the
city in relation to playground facili-
ties. He said today that the sugges-
ton of the Stanton Park Citizens AS
sociation appealed to him as good
one.

BOMB IN HAVANA
FOLLOWS THREAT
Police Believe Explosion by
Radicals Due to Warning
Sent Gen. Crowder.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated PreSS.
HAVANA. October 31.-Considerable
property damage was caused by the
explosion of a bomb in the home of
Fernando Gonzalez Verdenes,. an
architect, in a fashionable resident
section of this city early today.
The police appeared to believe the
explosion might be connected with
threats by radicals against Maj. Gen.
Enoch H. Crowder and the United
States legation here. These threats
were contained in proclamations dis
tributed throughout Havana Saturday
might in connection with the case OF
Niccolo Sacco and Partolomeo Van
zetti, who hAve been convicted of
murder in a Massachusetts court, .
Senior verdenes told the police he
could not imagine why any one should
attempt to destroy his homes which
is distant from the American lega-
tion and not in the vicinity of the
home of any prominent American who
might have been chosen by the radi-
calls as the first victim Of their pro-
posed demonstration.
Threats against Gen. Crowder and
the United States legation are con-
tanned in proclamations distributed
here. The posters denounce Gen.
lCrowder as a Representative of the
American bourgeoisie" and threaten
"the dagger of vengeance against
the Americans.
| The police, however, are taking
prompt action. They arrested ten
persons at the headquarters of a
syndicalist labor organization. A
number of terrorist proclamations
were found on the premises. Other
arrests are expected.

HOUSE ASKS PRESIDENT.
TO PROCLAIM HOLIDAY
FOR ARMISTlCE DATE

An effort to rush through legis-
lation which will empower the
President to declare Armistice day,
November IL, a national holiday,
was made today when the House
passed a resolution introduced by
Representative Royal c. johnson
of South Dakota. This resolution
recites that the selection of Armi-
stice day for the burial OF the un-
known soldier suggests the de.
STABILITY of having a national
holiday on that date. when all the
people of the country can pause In
their business out of respect to

have given their lives. as typifed
in this one here, who is to be
buried in Arlington national ceme-
terry on Armistice day.
This measure now goes to the
Senate for concurrent action. In
der II the President is directed to
declare a national holiday, and un-
less this resolution be passed by
both houses, the President has no
authority to declare Armistice day
a national holiday.

thinking about the winters coal bill
or household affairs the big confer

seem to convey an impression of
things academic and far afeId-some-

But the conference is the biggest
thing that has happened since the
war. 1t touches every family. not only
IN the United States, but throughout
the world. 1t has a rather official
sounding title, Conference on Limita
ton Of Armament and Discussion of

There's also an inside story of how
the conference came to be called. II

going to happen This will be told
in another dispatch.
The Paris conference merely drew
up treaty to end the war, 1t
couldn't possibly do everything. The
whole social and economic fabric of
countries both neutral and belliger-
out had been torn to pieces. What
Paris failed to do toward reconstruct
ing the world the Washington con-
ference will attempt. The Viewpoint
at Paris was to get peace established
quickly. The passion of haste has
disappeared. All the nations meet
now in calmer and more quiet at
mosphere. The meeting was called to
limit armament and talk over far
eastern questions, but the mission of
the Washington conference is one of
healing. It, is to be a conference of
reconStT uction out or which should
come not merely an understanding as
to the size of armies and navies, but
a better spirit toward the preserva-
ton Of peace. and a readjustment of
financial burdens so that world trade
