Coverings of rather heavy cloth laid
directly over garden truck or other
low-growing plants are effective in
protecting against moderate frosts
the United States Department of Ag.
riculture reports. The heat from the
ground and the plants is thus con-
served, and the losses Of heat by
radiation from the plant to the sky
are cut off; moreover, the air move
ment is SO slight near the ground
that there is little tendency for, the
cold outside air to be forced under OF
through the covering.
The temperature Of the surface OF
the cloth exposed to the sky is lower
ed by radiation and may fall to q low
point, but as both the cloth itself and
the air underneath it are very poor
conductors of heat, the temperature
Of the covered plants falls much more
slowly. The heat that has penetrated
a few inches into the ground during
the day is slowly conducted to the
surface during the night and aids in
keeping the temperature under the
cover above the freezing point.
It is evident, therefore, that cover
ings of this kind should be placed ear
ly in the evening when a frost is ex-
pected, before much of the heat &C
cnmulated in the soil during the day
has been lost. Tin cans or other met
al coverings should not be used to
protect plants from frost. Metals are
good conductors of heat and are also
good radiators unless very highly
polished. Therefore the temperature
is likely to fall nearly as low under
covering Of this kind as in the outside
air.

+ The regatta committee OF the
Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club has set
the date for the forthcoming regatta
on Saturday, August II. Much inter-
est has been shown in this years races
and many are planning their vacation
during the time the regatta takes
place.
| 1t is the intention Of the yacht club
to make August IL q gala day forTal-
bot county, as well as the adjoining
counties on the Eastern Shore. Be-
sides the many racing events, there
will be held late in the afternoon a
complete water carnival in the harbor
Of St. Michaels.
Miles river has. been chosen for the
race course because it affords ample
course for the boats. Then, too, the
committee has constantly kept in mind
the fact that this regatta is to be CIV
en- for those on land as well as those
in boats. The courses will be laid out
in such a way that at all times the
racing boats will be in full view Of
the spectators on the shore.
st. Michaels harbor Is possibly. the
best in the country so far as the spec
tator. on land is concerned. It has two
points that make the harbor, as well
as a natural grandstand for the on
lockers in the half-mile of straight
shore line just to the south of the
harbor entrance. This will accommo-
date hundreds of automobiles, az well
as thousands of persons. It is hoped
that Talbot will declare an unofficial
holiday for that day and live over a.
gain the glorious days that have been
spent in the past on. regatta day.
The August cruise Of the Maryland
Yacht Club Of Baltimore will be plan
ned SO that its itinerary will include
sufficient time to take part in these
races. AS guests Of the Chesapeake
Bay Yacht Club, they will probably
assemble off Bruffs Island on Friday
morning to, take part in the reception
to be held that afternoon on the es-
tate of Commodore S. S. Schuyler.
There will be about 20 yachts in this
cruise, and with the other parties in
vited, there should be a fine lot Of
boats taking part.

FORD STRONG|N
EAST, LAWYER
DECLARES
L. A. MCGOWAN Says Working
men of Big Cities Would
Support Magnate.

A strong sentiment for Henry
Ford as - President Is crystallizing
in the Eastern States, especially in
the Industrial centers OF these
States, according to Lewis A. Nc.
Gowan, prominent Washington at.
torney, who is now prosecuting a
case against the German govern
ment which may result in an un-
yelling of the spy system In this
country in it's entirety.
Mr.. MCGOWAN, who Is a Demo
crat and who has been prominent in
the political life of Rhode Island,
his former home, has served as a
delegate to three national conven-
tions of his party, acted as secre-
tary at the San Francisco conClave
and later accompanied Governor
Cox on his campaign.
He declares that the recent poll
taken by Golfers magazine, which
shows a strong support for Ford,
has not given an opportunity to the
workingman in the eastern States
to participate. He feels that such
a poll would show startlingIy high
percentage in favor of the Detroit
manufacturer.
Mr.. MCGOWAN has been informed
by +. c. Liebold, general secretary
to Mr.. Ford, that q recent poll in
Florida showed six times as MANY
votes for Ford as for any other
candidate and that a paper in
Denver reports that Ford received
7,184 out of 400 ballots cast.

SHIT TING TAXES
To WEALTHY
SOUGHT
Johnson Victory Increases
Power of Progressive Pro-
gram Supporters.
By w. HI. ATKINS,
International News Service.


New revenue legislation, with
an inevitable scaling down of the
tax burden for those of moderate
incomes, is the program being
outlined today by the progressive
group in Congress.
Determined Fight Certain.
Administration leaders now in
Washington regarded as certain a
determined fight by this congress
sional element to drive taxes down.
1t will be a battle between the pro-
gressiVes and conservatives, almost
from the tap of the bell in the Con-
gress converting next December to
shift the major part of the tax liza
bility now assessed against Ameri-
can taxpayers from the poor to the
rich, by readjustments relieving the
rich of some of the so-called exemp-
tons.
The fight for tax reduction, or
rather revision along more liberal
lines, to satisfy that large body of
the population who are convinced
that the tax yoke they carry is an
unequal one, has now been given
impetus by the election of Magnus
Johnson, as Senator from Minnesota
to succeed Knute Nelson. No other
event in recent months has had such
vital bearing upon the entire rev.
enue question. Johnson will enter
the Senate and bolster up the al
ready formidable. group headed by
Senator La Toilette. The Republi-
can majority in the Senate has been
sharply reduced, if account is taken
of the strength which can be
welded by combinations between the
ProgressiVes and Democrats.
The Progressives in the Senate,
lined up with most of the Demo
Gratis who are known to favor tax
reduction. have greater voting power
than the Republicans in a straight
contest for aX-reduction. The voice
of the farmer and the small salaried
man will be vitality reflected by this
combination. All of the factors in
politics which Republican leaders
may have considered as vital in op-
position to a reduced tax program
will fail if such a consolidation is
effected.
Against Tax-Exempt Securities.
The main object now sought by
Progressives and Democrats is radi-
cal rewriting of the tax laws, with
iron-clad provisions that will make it
impossible for the rich to escape
their legitimate debt to the Govern
ment each year on earnings or hold
ings through investments in tax
exempt securities.

written Expressly for Cosmopolitan
News Service.
The result Of the Senatorial cleo
ton in Minnesota is an additional
evidence Of the revolt against the
Republican administration. 1t shows
that the farmers have not been de-
luded by the emergency tariff law,
the Fordney-McCumber tariff law
and the other policies which the
Administration has endeavored to
convince the farmers were in their
interest.
The farmers are wise to the fact
that the promise to put "less Gov
eminent in business and more bust
ness in Government" has been
fulfilled by putting Big Business in
complete control of the National
Government.
People Have Awakened.
The people have awakened to the
fact that their voice is no longer
heard by those in authority in Wash
ington. The farmers are correctly
fixing responsibility for their intol-
cradle condition and will no longer
be satisfied by mere promises.
In an effort to stem the tide Of
public disapproval, Governor Preus
practically threw Harding and his
Administration overheard, recog-
nizing them as ballast which he
could not possibly carry. He and
his advisers not only prevented any
Administration speakers from ap-
pearing in Minnesota, and not only
put their foot down on any refer
ence to the Minnesota election by
President Harding on his recent
Western tour and on him even
writing a letter indorsing the can
didacy of Governor Preus, but
Preus and his aids refrained from
any expression that could be con-
strued as friendly to Harding or his
administration.
To Fight Administration.
However, the electorate Of Min
nesota have elected the Farmer
Labor candidate to the United
States Senate; one who not only ex-
pressed emphatic disapproval of the
present Administration, which he
promised to fight with all his ability,
but one who went so far as to be
classed a radical"
1t is interesting to contemplate
how badly Preus wuold have been
defeated If he had permitted the
recent campaign to be pitched on
a straight Administration and anti
Administration issue.
