permit their winter wheat ts stand
or will pillow it up and utilize the land
for corn or other crops. Present in
dications are that the acreage of win

be much smaller than that for last

corresponding increase in acreage of

place of winter wheat.

THE COUNTRY CHILD'S DEvEL.
OPMENT

There is a great deal of complaint
from city schools about the constant
loss of energy and health by school
children, owing to many social en-
gagements and late hours. These
city kids may enjoy this fun, but par
ents know that they are rsking their
future and skating on the thin ice of
dissipation.
The country children get their en-
joyment primarily in out door life and
sports. They have pleasant social
occasions, but they are not so numer-
GUS as to interfere with work and
sleep. AS a consequence the average
country child attends to his school
work better than the average city
child, and his health is not hazarded
by over excitement and late hours
This is one reason why country child
rem grow up better equipped for life
than city children.

NAVY YARD WAGE
INCREASE FAVORED
Report Recommends Pay
Raises of Five Cents an
Hour as Average.

Increase in wages on an average of
cents per hour is recommended for
approximately 2,400 employees of the
Washington navy yard and vicinity
in a report of the local wage board,
forwarded to the Navy Departments
general wage board, it was learned
today.
In a number of instances the in
crease will amount TO more than 3
cents per hbur. while In few cases
there will be decrease in wages.
The suggested scale, II is under
stood. would bring the wages of ma
chinists from 73 cents per hour TO
IS cents: pattern makers. from IS
cents to 80 cents per hour; boiler
makers, from 73 cents to IS cents per
hour; molders. from IS cents to IS
cents per hour, and would also bring
a reduction of a few cents per hour
to painters.
This scale will go into effect July
!, provided that the general wage
board of the Navy Department ap-
proves II. The routine of such cases
is for the local wage board to make
the recommendations for increases
and to present such recommendations
who in turn forwards the matter to
the general wage board of the Navy
Department. The scale becomes au-
thorlzed upon approval of the gen.
eral wage board.

In a stirring appeal to the American
people to devote more attention to
better housing and to the increase Of
home comfort, President Harding to-
day in addressing several thousand
people at the dedication exercises in
cident to the opening of Home Sweet
Home, the national demonstration
house for better homes in America in
Sherman Park, which is located south
of the Treasury Department. declared
that the great single industry in
America is the management of the
home.

fact" the President said. But so
far as this world knows or can vision.
there is no attainment more desirable
than the happy and contented home"
Accompanied By Mrs. Harding.
The executive was accompanied by
Mrs. Harding. several members of the
cabinet, Imperial Potentate McCand-
less and other high officers of the
Mystic Shrine.
AS the executive looked admiringly
toward the attractive house, which
has been designed as a model home,
from the general lines of the boy
hood home of John Howard Payne,
author of the world famous song,
Home, Sweet Home" he said with
much feeling, the home is at last
not merely the center, but truly the
aim, the object, and the purpose of
all human organizations. We do not
seek to improve society in order that
from better homes we may bring forth
better servants of the state, more ef-
forces; we seek to make better homes
in order that we may avoid the neces-
sity for conflict and turmoil in our
world. The home is the apex and the
aim, the end, rather than means of our
whole social system"

office by Noble Eddie Hammer, who

ago to make arrangements for Bag

ised to write his signature on the
face of the piano before the conven-
tion is over.
Probably one of the most pictur-
esque outfits to present itself to the
White House was Damascus of
Rochester, N. Y. More than 300 mem
bers OF this temple, arrayed in their
handsome and brilliantly colored uni
forms and headed by Potentate Her
man Dossenbach, entered the grounds
through the west gate. Their band
and drum corps Of more than forty
pieces attracted hundreds of persons
and called for much applause when
1t concluded its concert In front Of
the executive Office.
Secretary Christian formally re-
ceived Potentate Dossenbach at the
door of the Office building and ex-
tended the Presidents appreciation
or their coming. He also expressed
the latter's regret at not being able
to come out and personally greet
them.
Potentate Dossenbach introduced to
the secretary members of his divan,
Capt. Charles S. Owen of the patrol;
