MACF FARLAND WING
ERECTION IN DOUBT
High Bid May Not Delay Let
ting of Contract for
School Auditorium.

Although the bids received a few
days ago for the construction of an
auditorium and a new wing at the
Macfarland Junior High School eX-
ceeded the appropriations, Municipal
Architect A. l.. Harris said yesterday
he expected to be able to let q con-
tract for the auditorium.
Mr.. Harris explained that the audi
torium was one of several school
building items authorized in a def
cheney act by the last Congress, and
that all of the school building items in
that act We're treated as one fund.
The bid to be recommended for the
auditorium is S5, 700 in excess of the
amount that had been allotted for
this project, but Mr.. Harris said he
will be able to recommend it's accept
ance because the several school items
in the deficiency act are carried as
lump sum.
New Wing Doubtful.
The municipal architect said he did
not know what will be done in the
case of the new wing at Macfarland,
since the bids for that work were
much higher than the amount al
lotted
The new Manor Park School also is
facing delay because the bids received
a week ago were all in excess of the
appropriation.
Bids will be opened July 90 for the
erection of a new Calvert street
school, just west of the Connecticut
Avenue Bridge, and for an addition
to the Bell School. Bids for a new
school at Fifth and Buchanan streets
will be opened August 7.
Mr.. Harris said yesterday that the
Janney School in Tenleytown, the
Health School at Thirteenth and ALI
son streets and the addition to the
Armstrong Manual Training School
Will be ready for occupancy when the
new school year begins in September.
Building Program Delayed.
Z The Cook School on p street be-
; tween North Capitol and First streets
Is slated to be ready in February.
The municipal architect said the
buildings on which bids were called
for recently were listed for use in
September. 1926, but with the bids on
these projects exceeding the appro-
pr1atIons, the program for completion
in 1926 may be somewhat interfered
with.

DIAMOND SALES HIT.
Sterling's Rise Affects Buying of
Gems by Americans.
nrresnondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 30.-Diamonds as
large as hazelnuts in settings for men
have attracted much attention here
lately, where jewelry of this kind is
sold chiefly to Americans. English
men, excepting in rare instances,
never wear diamonds, especially as
rings, and on this account they never
are seen in the jewelry shops until
Spring, when the tourist season opens,
Dealers here say the Americans
are buying fewer diamonds than for
merly. This is attributed to the fact
that the stones are approximately as
dear here as in the United States, now
that the pound sterling is virtually
at par, and in addition purchasers
are expected to pay the 90 per cent
duty when arriving on the other
side

In THE GARDEN WITH BURBANK
AS Burbank

made various experiments I'm growing
the sugar beet as a commercial enter
prise.
After many failures it was finally
established that the beet could be
made source of supply of sugar, and
then the work was carried on by sci
entific methods, and. by selection
through many generations, the sugar
content of beets was raised from &
per cent to 35 and 36 per cent, and
there is every probability that this
percentage will be increased by fur
ther improvement
My own work has been with seeds
from Russian. German, French and
English varieties of sugar beets.
with radisheS, much work has
been done by selection with the oh
ject of making the roots uniform and
smooth and causing them all to de
velop at the same time. The experI-
ments were made very interesting by
reason of the great variability of the
radish.
The amateur will find great amuse-
ment and valuable knowledge by ex-
tending his experiments by hybridiZ-
ing the common American radish with
the Japanese and Chinese, which
more nearly approach the original
types. Just plant the two kinds TO

the crossing, but new types are fixed

Opportunity for Amateur.

I'VE made our list of intensive Mid
summer vegetables so rapidly, Mr..
Burbank, that I had no time to ask
you about several of them as we pass
ed them over-carrots for one"' 1
ventured the next day.
I'VE might begin with one interest
ing and perhaps not generally known
fact about the carrot and its first
cousin, the parsnip. which is, that
they are both biennials and do not
bear seed until the second season." he
replied.
"The large root is we'll stored with
starch and sugar and is adapted for
so nourishing the plant during the
Winter that it will grow rapidly and
bear a large quantity of seeds.
''In growing carrots and parsnips
advantage is taken of this habit of
the plant by pulling them up the first
year. when the stored-up starch and
sugar may be used, and not allowing
them to live long enough TO bear
seeds.
"Curiously enough, both of these are
descended from wild plants that are
poisonous. and in some cases If the
cultivated plants are permitted to live
over the second season they some
times develop a poisonous quality"
Have you experimental with both
OF tneSe vegetables! L asked.
MY work with the parsnip and the
attempt to produce types with
smoother and shorter roots has not
been altogether, though partially, sue
cessful, as the plant quite obstinately
retains its ancestral traits. In the
case OF the carrots changes were more
easily produced and form and color
added to or changed as desired by
selection.
These two vegetables offer oppor-
tunities for some amateur TO under
take their Improvement"
How about beets?" I then asked
There is u great deal to be said
about beets, and their development
and advancement to the first ranks as
producers of sugar is full of interest.
Until the last half century the
main supply of sugar came from the
sugar cane. which could grow only in
warm climates. This obstacle was
overcome by the Vilmorin brothers of
Paris, who. working on the knowledge
that the beet produces a sugar chemi
cally the same as the sugar cane,

Veal Now at Its Best.
Veal is always at its best about this
time of year. The butcher also offers
US lamb, squads, ducklings and frog
legs as specialties of the season.
Veal a la Tallyrand.-Wipe one and
one-half pounds of fillet OF veal, and
then with a round cutter about two
and one-half inches in diameter cut It
into small round fillets. Melt one
ounce of butter in frying pan, put
in the veal, and cook gently for about
fifteen minutes. Turn often and do
not let It brown. Peel six button
mushrooms, wipe them with a flannel
dipped In salt, remove the greater
part of the stems and chop one small
onion or two shallots and add them
to the veal. Stir in one-half a pint of
white sauce and cook while stirring
for about seven minutes. Remove
the pan from the fire and add the
yolks OF two eggs, one teaspoonful of
lemon juice and one tablespoonful OF
chopped parsley. then stir over a low
heat until the eggs thicken, but on no
account let them boil. Season, then
arrange the fillets of veal leaning up
against each other on a mound Of
mashed potatoes. Pour the sauce over
and around, and garnish with cut
lemon.
Veal Chops.-Put through a. ma
chine or chop very fine two pounds
of lean veal. For this the shoulder is
inexpensive and well favored. Sea-
son with one teaspoonful of salt, one
half a teaspoonful of pepper, the
same amount of onion juice, and one
tablespoonful of chopped parsley.
Form into small chops, inserting O.
piece of bone or stick of macaroni in
the small end. Dip each chop into
slightly beaten egg, roll in fine bread
crumbs, and immerse IN smoking hot
fat for eight to ten minutes, according
to the thickness of the chop. Serve
with tomato sauce.
Veal Kidneys.-In a saucepan put
one tablespoonful of butter and one
tablespoonful of -four, and cook
slowly until well colored. Add to this
one cupful of stock and stir until thick
and smooth. Add one tablespoonful of
mushroom catsup and two tomatoes
cut small, or a scant half cupful of
canned tomatoes, salt and pepper to
season, and simmer for ten minutes.
Strain and return to the fire. Add
one tablespoonful Of chopped parsley,
one tablespoonful of chopped mush-
rooms and one tablespoonful OF
chopped ham. Split the kidneys with
out quite dividing the halves. On the
cut side Of each lay a thin slice of
bacon and fasten open with a skewer
Broil three minutes on each side,
cooking the cut side first. Remove
the skewers, arrange on a heated dish

HOW 1T STARTED
By JEAN NEWTON.
Decimal System.

Based upon the 10 fingers used in
primitive counting, the decimal sys-
tenn is a method of counting or meas
uring, in which the standard unit Is
divided into tenths. hundredths, etc,
for the units below 1t and multiplied
by 10, 100, ETC., for the units above It.
1t is the basis of the metric system,
which Is international, and Is particu-
larIy useful in reckoning for keeping
accounts in money. For to divide by
10 we have but TO move tho decimal
point to the left; for multiplying, to
the right. Not only the monetary
system OF the United States but that
Of almost every civilized country ex-
cept England is decimal.
The working out of the decimal
system dates back several hundred
years, and is credited to the famous
fifteenth century German astronomer
and mathematician, Regiomontanus.
His real name was Johannes Muller.
He collected and translated the old
Greek mathematicians and with his
own work in various branches OF the
science, notably in arithmetic, trigo-
nometry and algebra, made a remark.
able and colossal contribution to mod
ern mathematics.
"Regiomontanus" was on a mathe-
matical mission when he died, having
gone to Rome at the invitation Of the
Pope, Sixtus w, to revise the calendar
when he ended his labors.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Cancer.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
eminently favorable, not only for
business or professional enterprise,
but also for social activities and ven
lures of a personal character The
signs denote that, barring speculation
and hazard, any proposition launched
tomorrow and on which intelligent
and consistent effort is expended
will ultimately be successful-not
without, however, encountering
obstacles and difficulties, which,
finally, will only serve as d zest and
an incentive to redoubled energy.
Any social entertainment promises to
yield gratifying results, and it is an
exceptionally good opportunity for
marriage, as all the indications point
to enduring happiness and lasting
contentment.
Children born tomorrow are des-
tined, in the majority of cases, TO
enjoy excellent health and posses ro-
bust constitutions. There will how
ever, be during the early years the
lurking danger of accident and more
than ordinary vigilance must be
exercised. Their temperaments will
be widely different. The girl will be
sympathetic, loyal, bright and have
a winning personality. and these at
tributes will win for her that place
u.
The boy will, on the other hand, be
reserved, distrustful of all, morose
and possess a personality that will
repeI rather than attract He will.
however, be ambitious and perse-
vering, and by nfiagging persistency
generally secure that which he coyets.
Optimism, If tomorrow is your
birthday, is your mainstay, and the
courage of your disposition, even
though troubles galore may assail
you, is the delight and, at the same
time, the wonder OF your MANY
friends. Your personality is an
overpowering one. and your strength
or wtll-its tenacity and its force
dominates difficult situations where
others not SO gifted would succumb.
You often convert what is an ap-
parent failure into a palpable sue
cess.
You rarely, IL ever. speak idly. and
though TO some you may appear
heaVy and by no means amusing
You always mean exactly what you
say, and your word is your bond"
AS result, you inspire in those who
know you absolute confidence.
In your love you are Just as serious
and reliable. Lack OF demonstra-
tiveness is made up for sincerity of
purpose.
