entire section of the National Capt.
tai lying south of the Capitol build

tween the Army War College and

largsment and extension Of the Ma
ttonal Botanic Garden, at it's present
location at the foot of Capitol Hill,
where it is of easy access to all visi-
tors to the Capitol. The Botanic Gar
den Is to swing around the base of
Capitol Hill for more than ninety de-
grees of the compass. from west to
south. and then stretch southwark to
the river. being worked in with the
parkway system that is to entirely
surround the city
This entire section of the city has
long been an eyesore. being used
principally as dumping ground and
for the storage of materials and
Junk for the street department of
Washington.
The long-drawn-out controversy as
to the future location of the Botanic
Garden has been settled in amicable
spirit of cooperation between the
parties at interest. and this new de-

SCORES BAD SPELLING.
President Of donzaga College Reg
listers Pupils for Contest.

Good spelling is an indispensable
vulgar" said Rev. J. Charles Davey.
vice president Of Gonzaga College,
speaking today to pupils registering
for the parochial school spelling bee
to be conducted in the college theater
Friday night at 8 o'clock.
Poor spelling" he" continued,
stamps its victim as ignorant and
closes to him the doors Of lucrative
appointments. Correct spelling Is an
open sesame to public ONCE and its
emoluments. but q large percentage
Of the failures in civil service exami-
nations Is due to mistakes in spell
ing"
Among the difaculties of English
spelling, Father Davey pointed out
that there are approximately $50
words ending in "ance" and "ence,"
and $50 words that end in 'ant" and
"ent." The suffixes "able" and "ible"
and Yer" and "or'' add largely to the
trouble, he said, for there are at least
800 of the first group and as mant
more OF the second.
The Gonzaga- spelling contest will
be participated in by boys and girls
from every parochial school in the
District. The public is invited, but
will be required to maintain perfect
silence during the actual spelling OF
words SO as not to confuse or excite
the contestants. The first prize will
be SO, the second prize, IS and TO
each OF the next nve contestants Will
be given a box Of high-grade candy.
