Commissioners Proclaim
Tuesday, April "a, Arbor Day

In proclaiming Tuesday, April "a,
Arbor day in the National Capital the
Commissioners yesterday took occa-
sion to appeal to the people Of Wash
ington to cooperate in the harmoni-
Gus planting of shrubbery and flow
ers and in the upkeep of their lawns.
Ordinarily the District observes the
third Friday in April as Arbor day.
The change was made this year be-
cause President Harding has set aside
the period from April % to 2S as For
est Protection week, and Tuesday of
that week is to be known as Tree
day.
The proclamation is signed by Com
missioners Rudolph. Oyster and Kel-
Ter, and reads as follows:
with the approach of spring, as
Washington appears to us once more
in radiant verdancy, the Commission
erS of the District of Columbia take
occasion to call to the attention of the
citizens the necessity for considering
that magnificent gift bequeathed to
us through the foresight of the faith
erS of the city-our trees To Wash
ington have been given spacious,
shady avenues; gorgeous, leafy as
among the well planted cities of the
nation; and to her. by this gift. is al
lotted a beauty that will endure so
long as her citizens recognize their
responsibilities
Now, therefore, the Commission
Evening star., 1923-04-01

ers of the District of Columbia, rea-
lizing the value of the beautiful
shade trees and shrubs of the city, do
set aside one day. the third Friday In
April, to be observed each year as
Arbor day. We ask of the citizens
of Washington that they consider well
the gifts bestowed on them, and that,
in consideration of these gifts, each
and every one give attention to the
harmonious planting of his lawns in
shrubs and flowers: to the guarding
of trees from depredations, and to the
maintenance of parks and adjacent
highways in fitting beauty by keeping
intact their shrubbery and flowers.
And we ask that the schools of Wash
ington do all in their power to fur
ther this movement by conducting, on
this day, exercises designed to instill
into the hearts and minds of the chill
dren of the city respect and love for
the living things which will be their
responsibility in future years
I'VE also feel 1t necessary to call
attention to the fact that during the
coming summer many visitors will
pass through our city: let us, there
fore, make this Arbor day one Of
great Importance, that those from
other cities of our nation may see and
er beauty than 1T has ever before pos
sessed
'In consideration also of the fact
that the President Of the United States
has set apart the week of April 22-2S
1923, as Forest Protection week, in
dorsing as Tree day Tuesday, the gath
of April, we designate that day as Ar
Dor day for the year 1923, instead of
the third Friday in the month"

Commerce Department Says Sugar
Figures Are Confirmed.

The Department of Commerce yes
terday called attention to the fact
that the statement issued on March
80 by the Department of Agriculture,
giving the estimated world sugar
production for 1929, shows no
material variance from the statement
issued by the Department of Com
merce on February 8.
The Department of Agriculture fig
ure for world production was. 20,-
$50 900 short tons, which equals ap-
proximately 1s,260,000 long tons,
while the Department of Commerce
figure was 18,30S.000 long tons. This
difference OF about $4,000 tons is, of
course, an insignificant fraction of
the total figure, and is obviously
within the reasonable limits of
statistical variation based upon esti-
mates.
The Department of Commerce
again points out that it's estimate
indicated surplus of 476,000 tons.

IMMIGRANT WOMAN, FORSAKEN
BY SON, WINS ENTRY UNTIL JULYI


a wife and fve-year-old boy, could
not see his mother denied him after
she had sold all her worldly pos
sessions in Spain in order to pay her
passage to this country. He managed
to secure the bond for her, and Sig
nora was happy under the roof of
her son. AS the time drew near for
the expiration of her bonded stay,
there was no money available to
guarantee the mothers continued
presence under special rules. So
Joseph decided he would temporarily
part with his wife and son, take his
mother back to Spain and work UP
the necessary funds to insure her stay
in this country until a time she could
begin a period of residence without
further hindrance.
Secretary Davis granted a respite TO
the mother. 1t has been suggested to
the. son Joseph that he take his mother
to Canada after the expiration of the
present stay and have her in readiness
to be rushed into this country as soon as
vacancy appears in the completed
quota list.

KELLER EXPLAINS
ASH REMOVAL CASE
ster July | District viii Be
Able to Collect From
Larger Places.

Engineer Commissioner Charles
Keller declared yesterday that he had
Vothlng whatever to do with the ar
est of Mrs. Lucy H. Boggs, superin-
tendent of the Carry-On Club, 1900
Rhode Island avenue, who was taken
into Police Court by the health de-
partment on charge of maintaining
a nuisance in that she failed to re-
move ashes and refuse from the club.
The city refuse division of the en-
cineer department decided that II
could not under existing law remove
the ashes and trash from the club
But the prosecution in Police Court
the colonel said, was instituted by
the inspection service of the health
department.
The contention of Mrs. Boggs was
that the Carry-On Club is a private
home for ex-service men and that
the District should have removed the
trash and ashes.
Law Has Been Changed.
There was nothing the city refuse
division could do but enforce the eX-
listing law. according to city officials
But through the efforts of Col
Keller, the wording of the law has
oeen changed in the new appropria-
ION ACT so IIldI after JuiN the LIS
trict will be able to take ashes anC
ash from such a place as the Carry
IN Club, the colonel believes.
The annual appropriation act fol
SearS has carried a provision pro
hibiting the refuse division from col
lecting ashes or miscellaneous ref
use from hotels, places of business
apartment and boarding houses.
Col. Keller said that ever since he
ook Office he has been of the opin'
on that these restrictions are un'
air and should be removed.
II could not see the logic of sucf
provision" said the colonel, I'll
-iew of the fact that such places pay
neir proportion of taxes as well a:
private dwellings,
Appealed to Committees.
Col. Keller has appeared before th'
committees of Congress on two an
nual appropriation bills and on boil
occa sions, he said yesterday, he ha:
advocated removal of these restric'
tions on trash and refuse collections
On his second appearance he wa:
partially successful. The appropria
tion act just approved for the fisca
year beginning July l, this yea
makes no reference to deprivinl
boarding houses of service and ais
allows the city to take ashes AM
trash from apartment houses of fou
apartments in which each famil.
maintains u separate heating plant.

Suits Vary Widely.
There will be a genuine variety of
styles in women's suits today. Most,
however, will be seen wearing ex-
tremely short coats-almost Jackets.
Their skirts will have every appear
ance of being nothing in the world
but a piece of plain cloth wrapped
around the waist and there fastened
with single pin. On a windy day
they will seem almost nerve racking
TO those who. do not know they are
really substantially sewed beneath
the only seam visible. On the other
hand, there will be a few suits with
coats extending almost to the knees
and skirts Of moderate width. These
will be just as smart, the best mo-
distes declared
Mems sack suits, to be smart
must have very short coats with a
cut-away effect in front. Their top
coats will be very full and very loud
In fact, the designs for both will be
largely plaids. Neckwear will be al
most Paisley in design, which means
extremely gaudy, with a few polka
dotted foulards and bow ties. The
stiff collar is coming back into favor
and every really up-to-t the minute
dressed man will wear in his upper
coat pocket a handkerchief to match
his tie.
Fashions Overlook Feet.
No changes have been made in foot
wear for eigther men or women, anG
Easter hats for the men will be either
derby or soft felt. The colors, how
ever. will be lighter and grays will
be seen to a greater extent this
Easter than ever before An advance
showing of straw hats, however, indi-
Gates extreme styles this summer
The brims are to be almost half an
inch thick, one shop declared, and
the crowns moderately high. In ap.
pearance they are very top heavy.
Reverting back to the weather, this
morning will be very cold, according
to the United States weather bureau
1t will be Slightly warmer in the after
noon, but still abnormaIly cold. The
winds are predicted to leave by morn.
ing and tonight the temperature will
begin to rise more rapidly. Tomor-
row it viii virtually shoot" up and
the day will be almost spring-like.
The weather of the past week, ii
was stated, was unprecedented. Last
night another low record for this time
of the year was set and today. again
the low record is expected to be
smashed. The present cold spell
however. is merely a freak of nature
and most certainly does not indicate
that this part of the world is to be
treated to a summerless year. There
will be plenty of summer, the govern
ment experts declared.

King Tut Takes

Easter Fashions

By the Associa ted Press.
NEW YORK, March 31.-Mis-

undisturbed sleep of more than
5000 years. Mr.. Fashion, how

New York's Easter parades-
there are to be two of them this
year-the usual and famous one
of 5th avenue and the other on
Coney Islands new boardwalk,
viii come after the citizens have
made their Easter devotions in

elaborate programs have been
arranged.
