possible to distribute them. All yerba
mate now on sale in the United States
is very expensive, due to the methods
of culture and transportation Its i'm
portance lies in the fact that it is avail
able as a stimulant for people who can
not drink tea. DR.. George +. Mitchell
of the Department of Agriculture bu-
reau of chemistry has taken much in
terest in the introduction of mate AT
one time during the war it was con-
sdered by the German army as part
of the regular field rationS, instead of
coffee, but experiments by the quarter
master department showed that this
was not practical. due to the mystery
which attached to preparing it for
culinary use.
Exceptionally Sweet Plant.
The exceptionally sweet plant is the
kaa he-e, also from Paraguay. It
is claimed that the leaves can be used
drying and grinding only being re-
quired, or that they may be soaked
in water and the liquor used for
sweetening preserves. Its especial
value lies in the possibility that it
can be used by persons suffering from
diabetes without i'll effects. The plant
is propagated readily by means of
cuttings and grows rapidly: Already
500 young plants for distribution to
eXperimenterS have been produced at
the Bell gardens.
Experiments also will be conducted
this summer on large number of
seeds obtained from southeastern
Siberia This region, with short, hot
summers and long. severe winters, has
produced varieties of crop plants es-
pecially adaptable to trying condi-
tions, and it is believed that a num-
Der of them may prove of value in
the American northwest. Included in
the collection are forty varieties of
oats, more than twenty varieties each
of rye, prose- and buckwheat, fifteen
varieties each of wheat, corn, flax and
soy beans, besides seeds of beets,
cabbages, onions, tomatoes, peas and

ARLINGTON CHANGES
SANITARY ZONING
Supervisors Grant Each Area Priv.
ilige of Independent Sewer
Systems.

CLARENDON, Va, April 15.-Sani-
tary zones of Arlington county, as
designated in the report of the for
mer sanitary engineers, David ].
Howell & Son, were ordered rear
ranged to conform to natural drain
age by the board of supervisors at
it's regular meeting at the courthouse
yesterday.
Under the new arrangement, which
has been placed in the hands of Capt.
John Talman, superintendent of
roads, to effect, each area designated
as a. zone will be privileged to estab-
'lish sewerage systems independent of
the other zones.
In ordering a change in the Zoning
the board was swayed by a recon-
mendation of the canitary commits
sion of zones six and ten, which, in
it's Investigations of the feasibility of
establishing sewerage in these zones,
decided that the zones were imprac-
ticable from an engineering stand
point and were laid out more with an
eye to property values.
The board rejected the proposed
ordinance imposing high rate of tax
on signboard advertising on the coun-
ty roads. The adoption of this ordi-
nance was sought in the hope that
the high tax would discourage this
character of advertising in the coun-
ty and ultimately clear the roads. of
what has often been referred to as
the "signboard nuisance" Those who
spoke in favor of the ordinance were
Frank G. Campbell, chairman of the
Civic Federation's signboard COM
mittee; C. r. Taylor and A. ]. Porter
of Clarendon and Mrs. Walter r. Pom
ton, president of the jefferson Dis
trict Woman's Club.

Experiments are under way this
spring at the plant introduction
gardens of the Department of Agrj-
culture at Bell. Md, to make avail
able for American cultivators two
strange plants from Paraguay-one
containing a glucosid 200 times as
sweet as cane sugar and the other
forming the basis for a particularly
invigorating tea which has no i'll
effects.
The latter is the yerba mate, prob
ably the most mysterious and 'ro-
mantle plant in new world history.
1t originally was used by the Para
guayan Indians in making a cere-
monial drink. 1t was adopted by
the Spanish and Portuguese and
many attempts were made to mo-
nopolize it's culture These led to a
number of petty wars among the
Spanish colonies and in one case a
little kingdom was set up, governed
in such a fashion that no outsider
were allowed to enter lest they dis
cover the secret of growing the plant.
A number of explorers who did ven
ture into this area were kept in
prison for many years.
Culture Remains Secret.
Its culture still remains much of a
secret. A number of unsuccessful ef-
forts have been made to introduce 1t
into the United States Several years
ago several plants were distributed by
the Botanic Garden here and were be-
ing cultivated successfully in num-
ber of sections when it was found that
they were not of the right species.
The present effort seems to promise
better success. according to officials of
the bureau of plant introduction. Sew
eral thousand healthy plants have been
secured at Bell, and it may soon be

tion of the District north of Park
road to the District line was outlined
by the seven citizens associations
which met last night in joint session
in the Takoma Park Public Library
Walter Trey, president of the Takoma
Park Citizens Association, presided.
The need of another police precinct
with a new station house, possibly
in the vicinity of Brightwood, and
reducing the present tenth precin ct
was advocated and resulted in reso-
luton presented by Preston c. King
being unanimously adopted. a sim
liar resolution providing for a new
fire company, located in the vicinity
of 18th street and the reservoir or
Rock Creek Park, was adopted. A
joint committee representing the

Association introduced a resolution
which was adopted expressing appre-
citation to Supt Frank w. Ballou
and members of the board of educa-
ton for efforts to extend the junior
high school system, and urged the va
rious citizens associations to assist
in the movement.
Ernest H. Pullman, president of
the Manor Park Citizens Association,
pleaded for a northern high school
in addition to d junior high school
He also favored more day schools
of the graded class. Guy E. Mitchell
of the Piney Branch Citizens Asso-
citation stated he did not think that

competition with the high school pro-
gram, and understood that the board
of education favored a high school
similar to the Central High School
in the vicinity of the Macfarland
School.
The associations represented at the
meeting included Brightwood, Manor
Park, Chillum Castle, Sixteenth Street
Heights, Sixteenth Street Highlands,
