THE GARDEN
BY MARY POTTER DAVIS

Washington will probably go down
in history as a garden CITY," as it is
so designated in a we'll known encyclo-
pedia This is in spite of the fact that
Rock Creek Park has no formal flower
beds such as are found in Central or
Paramount Parks or great masses of
plants like the thousands of lilac bushes,
rhododendrons and peonies. which at
tract visitors all through the Spring to
Highland Park in Rochester. The
cherry blossoms, the parishes in the Ag-
riculture Department grounds and the
rose garden in Potomac Park are Wash
ingtons nearest approach to these, but
it is doubtful whether any city is more
beautiful with small parks and reserva-
tions found throughout its whole extent
In some of the parks in April there
are gorgeous beds of red and yellow
tulips, while in others pansies lift their
faces to the sun and rain These have
all been in the flower beds during the
Winter, waiting for Spring to start
them into bloom. When their beauty
begins to fade, about the tenth of May,

propagating gardens back of the Bu-

you think she would benefit by residing
near the ocean? MRS. B."
If your daughter has had competent
medical treatment without any results,
l doubt If the change to the seaside
would do her any good, Mrs. B;
1t is true that those who live near
the ocean are not SO apt to have simple
goiter; that is, the goiter which has
been proved to be caused by the lack of
iodin in the foods and water and air,
or else to some condition in the patient
which prevents the absorption of the
normal amount of iodin. These So
called simple golfers can be prevented
and oftentimes cured by proper iodin
medication, or simply by the use of
iodized salt. The fact that your daugh-
ter's condition has not been relieved
probably means that it isn't the type
that would be cured by this medication

H|NDENDURG HAS LONG ARMY RECORD
Reaches 62d Milestone in Sery-
 ice Tomorrow

Berlin, April CP>-Preslden ent von Hindenburg will celebrate his ed military anniversary tomorrow. ln 1866 the now aged field marshal and president of the republic donncd a cadets uniform and began the army career which was to make him one of the outstanding figures of modern history.
 Two years ago. the German gov ernment conferred special honors upon Hindenhurg on the occasion of his 6oth military anniversary. But this year, observance of the day largely will be restricted 10 the re- celpt of congratulations, mainly emanatlng from former army pals '
 Many Germans will send congrat = ulatlons, as they do in the slightest provocation. merely in the hope of clicitlng an acknowledgment which bears Hindenburg's autograph. But Hindenburg displays a reluctance to cater to the autograph collectors. His signature is not easy to obtain, as virtually the entire correspondence at the presidents chancellory is at tended to by Hindenburg' subordi- mates
 President von Hindenburg is an old man. although remarkably youth ful and healthy for his years. But his staff has strict orders to leave him in peace, unless important af- fairs of state require his attention.

ONE FOR SHERLOCK

London. April GA swindle, in volving nearly s25,00o was recently revealed here. A group of London business men were induced by an apparently honest stranger posing as diamond merchant, to advance the money as loan on some dia- monds. Examined by an expert, the diamonds were found to be real However. at the end of six months, when the loan expired, opening of the package revealed only imita tions. It is thought that the stranger. by a sleight- of hand trick. replaced the genuine diamonds with substitutes before the package was reNrapped and placed in a safe.
