scheme. It comes out sometimes dur
ing the warm days in February.
when the first bees begin to leave
their warm hooks they need food, and
it is to this lowly swamp dweller they
go. Were it not for the skunk cab
bage many bees would perish before
the other flowers begin to bloom.
Liverwort Early Flower.
The hepatica or liverwort, vari-
colored and beautiful, is among the
first flowers to reward the hiker, who
should leave them alone for all to en-
joy. There is nothing fairer. if as
fair said John Burroughs of the he
patica.
Close up in the race for first place
in the spring is the dainty claytonia
or spring beauty. This can be found
on a clustering March day. What
about the trailing arbutus, which many
claim as first in the spring? 1t can
be found hidden away the first week
in March. Once this flower could be
found in quantities. The pilgrim IA
theirs called it the Mayfower, and the
other day, when some one wanted to
send President Coolidge Mayfiowers
from New England. a real hunt for
them had to be instituted.
These are the advance guard of
the springtime that brings us the
dogwood. Then come the trilliums,
dog tooth and white violet, marsh
marigold, jack in the pulpit, Dutch
mans breeches and many other of
natures wonders
"The campaign of The Evening Star
is directed at the dogwood, and it is
doubly commendable because it will
certainly turn the attention of multi
tudes to all the other wonders of ma
ture that are fast going because of
thoughtleSS thousands"

ment, and the memory was essential
Mr. TiIler explained the task that was
before the standing committee of
Washington correspondents in as
signing the seats to writers who
would attend the conventions of the
two big parties this year. This COM
mittee had charge of the press ar
rangements, and the demand far ex-
ceeded the accommodations.
The speaker also told of the rapid
ity with which the various inveStiga-
tions developed here in recent months
and of the great efforts 1t was neces-
sary for the correspondents to make
in order to keep up with the news.

Pressure of Work
Forces President
To Giue Up Walks

The steadily increasing pressure
of work at the Capitol incident to
the approach of congressional
adjournment has brought it's re-
action at the White House in the
virtual abandonment by President
Coolidge of the early-morning
walks he has been accustomed to
take regularly since he entered
the White House.
The President during the winter
left the White House almost every
morning for a mile walk be-
fore breakfast. Although still
practicing the habit of arising
early, Mr.. Coolidge recently has
been foregoing the walks in order
to spend the time in his study go
ing over matters coming before
him in connection with completed
or soon-to-be completed legisla-
tion. His only exercise nowadays
is long walk in the evening just
after he leaves his office for the
day.
