communities with cultural knowl-
edge a newspaper called "El Sem

TULIP SCRAMBLE
ATTRACTS THRONG
Rich and LoWIy Dig in Dirt
for Bulbs Taken From
Parks to Give Away.

Fine ladies with diamond rings and
colored men in tatters side by side dug
in the dirt, when Lieut.. Col. U. S.
Grant, 3D., director of the ONCE of
Public Buildings and Public Parks. held
his annual tulip scramble" From Z
o'clock on, persons were awaiting the
arrival of trucks of Col Grants office
to bring the tulip bulbs that have been
taken up in the parks and made avail
able for public distribution. Flower
lovers forgot their breakfasts for the
once, as they made their way toward
Potomac Park, and waited near
Twenty-sixth and B streets for the dis
tribution. In the line was former
Senator Sterling of South Dakota.
Strange as it may seem, officials of
Col. Grants Office soothly swear that
when it comes to tulip bulbs it is cheap
err to give than to keep. The cost of
caring for the excess tulip bulbs during
the off season, it is explained, is more
than the Office can purchase new bulbs
for.
This morning the bulb distribution,

bulbs OF red and pink tulips that will

minutes, but this did not daunt the
flower lovers. They stood their ground
with sacks and hampers, ready to reap
the harvest of Col. Grants 1argesse.
When the first truck was dumped the
