CALLS ON SCHEDULE
 FOR WASHINGTON
Social Set Preparing for Active
 Winter
py SATIIE V. H. PICK FIT


 Washington, Oct. 19 LPt- Wash | ington society has out it's address book and is arranging to start in on it's annual round of calls. Most pug zling of all the social life in the capital is the habit of calling. Per | fectly appalled, at the oceans of cards required, the miles and miles | of travel through the streets of the | city, the difficulty in locating those upon whom they must call, all of this and more inclines the new off Cial women to want to change the | code or ignore it altogether. But | this has been tried before with no result. If you would play the social | game, make your calls and do not Quibble, is the advice of old timers.
 Contrary 10 the rules back in the home town, the newcomer must call upon the older resident. In addition to first calls and returning calls there is the party call, and all cards laid upon my lady's tray must be carefully recorded or filed away by index, for upon these cards depend the pleasures of life in Washington.
 Fifty or more calls are often made in an afternoon, the visitor having her list of names and addresses ar ranged, and she may only know how many calls to make by strenuous work and consulting official sources, such as the congressional record and the diplomatic list
 Saturday has generally been used in Washington for making unofficial calls, but each card bears the day of the week upon which the hostess re- ceives and frequently, especially in the senate and house, only one or two days out of q month are desig- mated. The etiquette of party calls must be more punctiliously carried out in Washington than elsewhere if one would be popular socially.
 Even the form for visiting cards differs in Washington from other | cities, a senator dropping his lofty 1 title for a mere MT" but putting the state from which he halls on his card. Diplomats cards are quite com [ prehensive and in the late years since there is such a multiplicity of

 Mr. and Mrs. Louw will find q splendid South African contingent here, waiting to receive them SO cially, men who made their fortunes in that section of the world. Stand ing at the head of this distinguished contingent are Nlr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond and Mrs. Hennen Jennings and her son, Coleman Jcn- nings.
 The success of the National Wom- ans Country Club does not mean necessary that Washington society women have turned athletic, al though the club is a country club in all that the term implies, with a golf course, tennis courts, swimming pool, croquet and archery, many of the founder members do not go in for any Of these sports. CrOquet and archery are rather aftcr-thoughts of the board of governors, who recognize the return to favor of these gentle and graceful arts. Lady Isabella Howard whose

HOME SPRAYING.

The home gardener who reads the
spraying suggestions offered by the
agricultural colleges to the commercial
growers will, unless unusually am
bilious, begin to lose courage almost
at once.
Eight to ten sprayings for one tree
or plant admittedly may be desirable,
but there are very few home gardeners
who are going to follow out such a
schedule. In the first place, the owner
of a few trees cannot afford power
driven machines, but must rely on hand
equipment. Fairly good fruit can be OBJ
tanned with few sprayings, often as
few as two or three. For apples, the
Winter spray with oil emulsion or lime
sulphur and the arsenate of lead spray,
just after the petals fall are the most
important. The petal fall spray Is most
effective when used in connection with
lime sulphur, the proportions being
/ quart of commercial lime sulphur and
212 ounces of lead arsenate powder or
ounces of paste to 40 quarts of
water. Repeating this spray in three
weeks and again in five weeks after
petals fall will give even better results,
but thorough spraying when the pet
ais fall often will go long way to-
ward producing good clean fruit, es-
pecially with early ripening varieties.
Peaches should be sprayed at least
twice a year, once when dormant, and
again when the petals all have dropped
The petal fall spray may be made at
home, using pounds of finely divided
sulphur, 4 pounds of hydrated lime
and 4 ounces of caseinate of lime, all
thoroughly mixed and sifted through q
fine screen into Is gallons of water. In

JUDGE SUSPENDED
TO AWAIT HEARING
Three Members Of Oklahoma
Supreme Court Listed on
Impeachment Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fTeSS,
/. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, March
30.-The Senate court Of impeachment
suspended Justice j. w. Clark OF the
State Supreme, Court late yesterday and
set 10 am, April IS, as the date on
which he and Chief Justice Charles M.
Mason and Justice Fletcher Riley will
plead to 81 articles of impeachment pre-
ferred against them.
The vote on Justice Clark'S suspen-
sion was % to IA. It was preceded by
heated discussion involving many OF
the Senators as to the constitutionality
of suspension and was followed by Is
minutes of tense uncertainty while Sen
ators debated as to whether two-thirds
majority or plurality was necessary
for suspension. Senator Richard l..
Wheatley of Vinita, the presiding officer,
ruled that plurality was sufficient.
Senator Wheatley, a Democrat, was
elected by the Senate yesterday to pre-
side over Justice Clark'S trial; Senator
Wade II. Loofbourrow, Democrat, OF
Buffalo to preside at Chief Justice
Mason's hearing, and Senator Ira A.
Sill. Republican, of Cherokee to preside
over Justice Riley's trial.
While the legal machinery for the
trial of the justices was being assem-
bled, the general investigating commit
tee Of the House of Representatives
voted to cease activities pending the
assembling of an extraordinary session
of the Legislature. The committee thus
eliminated the possibility that an article
of impeachment which 1t has drawn
against Fred Capshaw OF the corpora
ton commission would be presented to
the House before it adjourns sine die
tomorrow, and halted temporarily the
investigation of o. c. Childers, chair
man of the commission, and Harry Cor
dell. president of the board of agri-
culture.

RINGING FRUIT TREES.

Ringing is one of the odd horticul-
tural practices that long has in
terested the grower of fruit trees and
grape vines but really has no great
practical significance. In this operation
a ring or girdle of bark, including all
the soft tissues down to the sap wood.
is removed from the base of the trunk
or of a large limb of a fruit tree about
the first of June, with the purpose OF
stopping the downward movement OF
foods from the leaves and thereby
throwing all these foods into the new
buds, causing more of them to develop
into flower buds instead OF remaining
growth buds.
The width of the ring may be a
- inch or more, but the p inch
generally is sufficient. This bare sur
face should be covered with melted
paraffin to keep the exposed wood from
drying out.
Ringing has definite limitations in its
usefulness. In the first place, the
operation Injuries the vigor of the tree.
Hence it should be used only when one
wishes to force crop or two from the
trees before cutting them down. OBJ
viously the foods that were prevented
from going to the roots were needed
there for growth purposes. If one has
a fruit tree which has unduly delayed
in coming into fruiting and isn't con-
sidered a permanent feature of the
home planting, it can be made to bear
sooner by ringing. Furthermore, If one
doesn't care to endanger the whole tree,
it is possible to ring one or two
branches and cause them to bear.
Apples and grapes seem to be the most
favorable species to work with. Stone
fruits, such as cherries, plumS and
peaches, cannot be successfully ringed.
Grapes generally are ringed for i'm
mediate effect, that is, to influence the
fruits of the same year. Grapes on
ringed canes usually are earlier to
ripen and often are larger and borne in
better clusters. Grapes should be
ringed about the time of poisoning,
using only certain canes that would nor
mally be cut away in next Winters
pruning, that Is, ring the new wood
four or five buds out from the base.
This leaves enough uninjured wood to
feed the vine. Prof. HuSmann of the
Department Of Agriculture reports that
the grapes supplying the Grecian cur
rants of commerce are ringed every
year, in fact, have to be hinged to get
full crops of fruit.
Ringing cannot, with this one excep-
ton, be looked on as regular practice.
It is at the best only an expedient to
force a sluggard tree that one cares
little about into fruiting.
