POTOMAC GARDEN CLUB
ELECTS ITS OFFICERS

More than 200 members of the Poto-
mac Garden Club met in the auditorium
Of the New Museum Friday night, when
the new officers for the year were elect
ed. Capt Jacob StulZ Of the fireboat
was reelected for his second term as

board: A. j. Armsted, r. J. Mcguire,
J. H. Graham, n. G. Watts, Hugh Fred,
George Fraser and H. c. Weaver.
Capt. Stulz announced that the De-
partment of Agriculture has approved
the plan Of the club to relinquish fur
ther use Of the gardening plot in Poto-
mac Park which the club has used in
previous years and to transfer its actiyi-
ties to Benning tract, sixty acres To-
Gated just southwest Of Benning bridge.
I'VE think we will be able to give
each gardener considerably more
ground this year than has been possible
previously because of the increased size
of the ground at our disposal said
Capt. Stulz. land we also are expecting
to take in a few new members. At
present the number is nearly 500 and
we can accommodate as many as 600
on this tract
AS soon as the ground is in condition
and weather permits, the club members
will start their digging activities. The
members of the board Ct directors will
meet at Capt. Stulz's home some time
within the next two weeks to assign
various members to the necessary COM
mittees to carry out the work syste-

LASKER TO RETAIN
SHIP BOARD BERTH
Officials Scout Rumors That
He viii Assume Cabi-
net Post.

Rumors concerning the possibility
OF Albert d. Lasker. chairman Of the
United States Shipping oBard, filing
one of the vacancies in President
Harding's cabinet have been plucked
from thin air, officials of the board
believe.
With Secretary Fall leaving office
March 4, it is generally believed that
Postmaster General Work is the like
ly new incumbent of the Interior De-
partment, with the most talked of
successor to the Postmaster General
being Harry New. If Mr. Lasker Were
to be offered a cabinet portfolio. it
would be probably at the expense of
Mr. New, but no such offer has even
been suggested or intimated, Mr.. Las
ker has repeatedly told newspaper
men during the last few days.
When Albert Lasker first took over
the chairlnanship of the ShiNping
Board and Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration, it was with the understand
ing that he should devote two years
to putting it on a busineSslike basis.
At the present time Mr.. LaSker feels
that at least six months more would
be needed before he could give over
the reins, his associates say, and
there Is a. possibility of his staying
on another two years to work out
the policies he has inaugurated.
There are two developments in the
Shipping Board program to which
Mr. Lasker has devoted his energies
above. all else, the passage of the
ship Subsidy bill through Congress
and putting the Leviathan into ac-
tive service. 1t is not believed he
would consider quitting his present
post until after the ship subsidy bill
becomes either law or a dead issue.
In either case the Shipping Board
would need his guiding hand for sew
eral months afterward, officials there
point out, for whatever is the OUT
come there will be either the need
of directing the policies of the board
with the subsidy bill in effect, or else
the need of working out a policy for
the board to work under without It.
with the possibility in view of the
future dissolving of the board al
together.

to make this country safe against
the danger of unemployment in times

The bill calls for IAN investi-

the cooperation of state and municipal
