not to listen to the tortured breath

what more could he do. He had done
all he could, surely! Four times in
four days he had gone upstairs to
see Consuelo Cox, and four times she
had refused to see him. The answers
of the maid, an unsympathetic maid,
had been:

wrote in one note, "and he seems to

He had bitten his lips in penning

TO HEAD CITIZENS
Nominated for Re- Election as
President of Manor Park
n Association.

officers of the Manor Park Citizens
Association were nomination for the
ensuing year at the first Fall meeting
or the association at 62l0 Third street
last night. Z. II. Pullman, who has
served as president since the body
was organized two years ago, was re-
nominated for the presidency. Others
nominated for the various offices were
II. l.. Bryant, first vice president; A
j. Casale. second vice president C. G..
Carr, secretary, and George J. Lyon
treasurer, while Herbert Wilson and
Mr.. Bryant were nominated as dele
gates to the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
The nominations practically are
tantamount to election, as there is no
competition for any of the offices.
The only new officers nominated were
those for first vice president, secretary
and treasurer. all the others having
served in the offices for which they
were again nominated. The election
will be held at the meeting next
month.
Plea for improvements
A resolution was adopted to request
the Citizens Advisory Council to eX-
ercise its power to keep in the Dis
trict appropriations bill items provid-
ing for the purchase of a site for d
Junior high school in Brightwood the
cutting through of Fifth street and
Sheridan avenue in the vicinity and
the building of storm sewer to run
from Fifth and Ingraham streets to
Takoma Park. Hope was expressed
that items for these projects would
not be pruned from the District ap-
preparation bill by Congress.
The association also adopted a res
olution thanking Commissioner Ru-
dolph for the part he took in having
the plans changed for the new grade
school being erected in Manor Park
so as to make it an eight-room build
ing instead of a 16-room building. A
first-class 16-room building could not
be erected with appropriations which
had been made for an eight room
structure, it was declared. The ac-
tion was taken by the association
following a report by DR.. T. T. Read,
Chairman of the school committee
DR.. Read was authorized to investi-
gate the low salary received by the
Janitor OF the Manor Park portable
school. The latter was said to get
only IS a month.

PAY CHANGE SOUGHT.

Consideration of changes in wages
Of employees of the Washington navy
yard will be instituted today when
the local wage board holds its
first meeting, in accordance with
naval regulations. The first duty of
the board will be to prepare a list of
firms in the vicinity of Washington
which do work comparable to that
at the Washington navy yard. To
each of these firms will be sent a
QUESTIONABLE asking what rates of pay
are given employees at this time.
Before October 81, when the board
must make its report to the general
wage board in the Navy Department,
1t must consider the information sent
back on the questionaires and make
a recommendation to the department,
which will put the local navy yard
employees on a par, so far as pay is
concerned, with employees in private

Nutrition Nuggets

Remember that If fatty foods are
given in excess, troubles of the digeS-
tive powers will ensue all along the
line. The food will be delayed in the
stomach. the liver will object, and
the intestines will not be able TO carry
on their particular work of eXcretion
effectively.
When the diet calls for bulky foods,
vegetables play an important part.
Bulky vegetables include beets, onions,
cabbage and cauliflower. Remember.
however that these vegetables con
tribute more than bulk, so that sew
eral dietary needs are served at once.
Choose your tonics from the follow
ing list: Oranges, orange juice, olives,
egg yollls, raisins, figs, dates. spinach,
cabbage, sauerkraut. These, OF
course, will be eaten in proper pro-
portion and In addition to the definite
bodybuilding foods such as meat, fish
and milk.
Remember that when you are deny
ing a child's request for a harmful
food you are helping TO lay the foun-
dations for future health. A seeming
unimportant attack of Indigestion
means much immediate discomfort,
but it's after effects may last for years.
No diet is complete that does not
contain one leafy, one stem and one
root vegetable, daily.
Conditions under which the food IS
eaten have much to do with its max
ing actual value. Quiet, pleasant con
yersation. fresh air and unhurr1ed
service NAV spell the difference be-
tween indigestion and day of efficient
work.
Don't forget that swiss chard may
be used in several ways. The stalk
when cooked makes n very good Vege-
table; the leaves are delicious served
as greens and. as every one knows
il is a good, solid plant.
Now that the warm days are coming
the fireless cooker may be depended
upon for a good share of the CHIEF
meal of the day. Don't forget that the
refrigerator will help the 'fireless
considerably. While the "fireless' is
cooking the meat and other main
dishes, let the salad and pudding or
other cold desserts and the iced beV-
erages be cooling SO that the hot
things will be hot" and the cold
things will be cold at the proper time.

L. S. NJ. S. American Legion Pan
American Line: This boat ride around
South America is the smoothest l
have ever taken. These shores of this
Southern continent have never known
a storm. The American Legion slides
along as If on skates.
But the sea is not smooth. Capt.
George Rose tells me that it is full
of bumps and ruts. Soon. he says,
we will cross over a ridge in the
Caribbean Sea that is 20 feet higher
than the level of the Atlantic along
our course. Along the southern lane
in the Atlantic there is a hollow at
least 200 feet below the ocean level.
There is A depression in the mid
Atlantic that is said to be $50 feet
below coast levels. The causes are
varied: wind. gravity, currents, tides
and baronIetric variations all con-
tribute to the strange behavior of the
sea.
The boat is now making a straight
line for New York. No, it isn't, either.
The shortest distance between two
points on the high seas is not
straight line on the map. The curva-
ture of the earth causes the American
Legion to describe a huge arc from
Cape st. Rogue TO Sandy Hook. Also,
the captain tells me. the ship is guided
that he receives his bearing by radio.

Today we passed through water

slightly dirty. 1t is caused by the

Ocean steamers from Europe and
America journey for a week up this
great stream as far as Iquitos in Peru
where the river still has a width of
nearly three miles, although the dis
tance is more than 1000 miles from
its mouth, The Amazon basin is a
huge jungle of steaming vegetation
that is practically unexplored
1t extends over an area Of $500, 900
square miles-the largest unoccupied
| fertile space on the earth's surface
Food enough to feed the world could
be grown there. And some day it
will-nO doubt.
And since wonders never cease (for
which l am duly thankful or my BE

the day when the sun shines but casts
no shadow. This is the day when the

Capt. Sheridan tells a story of the
ships cat which had never been up be-
fore and missed its shadow for the
first time.

frantic and ran around in circles in
search Of its shadow" said the cap

Gardens for Renters.

like orphan children. belonging to no

lected and unloved," ] said.
Il suppose you mean gardens be-
longing to rented houses" answered
Mr.. Burbank You are right: the
landlord dismisses the matter from
his mand when he rents the house,
and when the lease is short the
tenant seldom assumes real response
bility."
He says: What's the use? III be
gone before the plants come up" And
yet it is surely best for every one TO
do his share in creating beauty and
little thought for those who come
after"
Il think" said Mr.. Burbank, that
even If a tenant has a garden for only
a few months he will get that much
more joy out of it if he leaves 1t bet
ter than he found il.
'Of course. what is planted in
rented ground becomes the owners
property, but the tenant can chose
plants Of small expense and short life,
and any valuable or cherished plants
could be kept in pots or tubs.
Summer ANIMALS. including mas
turtiums, either trailing or border
varieties, petunias, stocks, Zinnias,
pansies. candytuft, larkspur, mari
Colds, coreopsis and gaillardias can be
planted. Some Of these will seed
themselves and carry on the good
work"
''Of course there will be a back
yard to consider" I reminded him
"If very unsightly, quick growing
! vines will cover multitude of de-
! fciencies. Plant scarlet runners.

a honeysuckle to replace the vines

II am thinking of one steep. rocky,

would you treat it, Mr.. Burbank"
Rocks and rocky ledges are rather
