Supreme court in unanimous decision
rendered by Justice Brandeis.
The challenge came from the state
of Maryland, where Oscar Lester and
others sought to prevent the regis
tration of two women as qualified
voters in Baltimore Lester and his
associates contended that the consti-
tuition of Maryland limited suffrage
to men, that the legislature of Mary
land had refused TO ratify the wOm-
ans suffrage amendment and that
the amendment had not become
part of the federal constitution. The
Maryland state courts sustained the
amendment.
The contention that an amendment
TO the federal constitution relating
to additions to the electorate can
not be made without the consent of
the state, the court disposed of by
reference to the fifteenth or equal
suffrage amendment, declaring that

WAR EXPLOSIVES FOR ROADS
TrinitrotoluoI Has Become One Of
Most Desirable Agencies for
Construction Work.

Trinitrotoluol, one of the most eff

come, by adaptation, one of the most
desirable agencies for the peace-time
task of road construction, according
to reports received from many states
by the bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of Agri-

plosive is becoming general through
out the Union wherever highways are
under construction. Out of the sur
plus war materials turned over by the
War Department TO the Department of
Agriculture and distributed by the
bureau of public roads among the
various states, approximately 10000
600 pounds of T. n. T. has found its
way to the road builders supply
houses. This is more than four times
as much as the total of powder of all
grades distributed by the department
among the states.
The quantity of T. N T. distributed

was 19,613.295 pounds. In addition
there has been distributed 1,79S, 9SS
pounds of blasting powder and 2,7S1,-
313 pounds of hand-grenade powder
Among other materials of this nature
distributed among the states were
6,566 pounds of dynamite, 267, 600

PLAN OUTLINED FOR ORGANIZING

The United States Department of
Agriculture and the state colleges of
agriculture are frequently asked for
the best method of organizing for gar

tons, those that are organized on a
cooperative basis, including all
branches of the local government, the
citizens associations, the merchants

also schools and churches, have proven
most effective. In order, however, to
centraliZe the direction of the work

In the Sixty-sixth congress no less

chairman of the board. A membership
fee of 30 cents to 81 is frequently paid
by those who plant gardens and who
receive benefit from the organization.
In some cases a special trained gar
den leader has been hired to give in
formation and help to those who need

been employed for a few months only,
but this type of supervision pays, pro-
vided the person employed under
stands his business. In most cases
prizes have been offered by. the mer-
chants and business interests, first,
for the best individual gardens, both
in back yards and on vacant land,
and, second, for the various products
Of the gardens. Usually an exhibit
is held at some convenient time during
the latter part of the garden season,
and a contest between the gardeners
is staged. These exhibits and con-
tests have been of wonderful value in
promoting a spirit of rivalry to pro-
duce the best. AS a rule, however,
the gardeners have considered the gar
den products as they came upon their
home tables the greatest reward for
their efforts.
Where a group of gardens is located
on one piece of land it is often neces-
sary TO provide special means for
financing the clearing, blowing and fit
ting the soil and later for policing the
gardens to prevent losses, either from
stray live stock or from theft. The
fees collected from each gardener to
cover these costs have varied in diff
ferent instances from 81 TO S. per gar
den, but rarely more than So. Any
funds that are left in the treasury at
the end of the season can be used for
promoting the garden movement the
following year or returned to the gar
deners.
Success in organizing city, town or
village garden work depends upon lead
ership, and the harmonious working
together of all concerned. One of the
most successful garden clubs of which

1t Is Often Means of Saving
Labor Costs.
Farmer Enabled to Determine Number
of Days Necessary to Produce
an Acre of Any Crop, or for
Care of Animals.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture-)
Keeping a record of farm labor does
not require much time, yet it is often
the means of saving labor costs. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture has found such records Of
great value in the cases Of many farm
ers whose experience has come TO its
notice. The labor records should
show just how much man labor and
team work is required on each crop
and the season when it is used. They
should show what proportion of the
labor is devoted TO work that d.
rectly produces income, and the
amount that is consumed by odd jobs
or indirectly productive tasks.
This will enable the farmer to de-
termine the number of days Of man
labor and horse labor necessary to
produce an acre of any crop, or for
the care of any class of animals for
a year. Thus he may be able TO re-
arrange his system of management so
that he can get along with less labor
and. at the same time, maintain pro-
ductton.

This club has been In existence for
several years and has grown stronger
in its organization each year.
The formation of clubs consisting or
those who plant gardens in their back
yards is little more difficult and
must include provision for rendering
distinct service TO its members. This
service may consist of the purchase
of manure or fertilizers, blowing the
back yards, and supplying early
plants or seeds. The gardeners must
be made to feel that they are getting
something in return for their partici-
patton in the club and the payment of
dues, otherwise little interest will be
taken in the organization.
Cooperative Spraying.
In a few instances the spraying of
crops to control insects and diseases
has been handled in cooperative
way, using power sprayers which go
over the gardens at such stated inter-
walls as may be necessary for good re-
suits. These power sprayers are
simply driven into the alleys, and
lines of hose discharging the spray
mixture carried into the gardens. In
this way effective spraying can be
secured at a less cost than if the gar
deners provided spray equipment to
do the work themselves. There are
numerous other ways in which back
