"INSIDE" INFORMATION

Cotton, milk, and hogs are the
principal cash crops on American
farms. Cattle and calves, and eggs
and chickens also rank ahead of
wheat.
Many farmers cut brush in the
summer or early fall, in the belief
that brush cut at these seasons will
not sprout again. The U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture says that
there will always be some second
and even third growth regardless
of when the brush is cut.
When making number of chill
dren's garments at one time it is a
good plan to buy extra cards of
matching buttons, so that if any
must be replaced you will have the
same kind on hand.
Sunbaths are fine for young chill
dren if they are accustomed to them
very gradually, but care should be
taken not to burn their tender skin.
Excessive tanning should also be
avoided because it prevents the ul-
tra-violet rays from penetrating the
skin, and therefore makes the sun
baths less effective.
A well-equipped closet planned for
child so that he may easily and
comfortably hang up his own
clothes will be far more useful in
teaching order than many seedlings
on the subject. There should be low
hooks within his reach, plenty of
hangers that can be put on a closet
pole to keep garments from wrink-
ling, a shelf for shoes, slippers, and
rubbers, and a definite place for cap !
and hat. A mat just inside the
door on which children can stand |
when taking off their rubbers will |
save much tracking up of the house, |
And small broom, which is to be |
used when dirt is brought in acci-
dentally, also will teach cleanliness
and order. Some families even label |
each hook and section of the chill
dren's closet with the name of the
person who is to use it.

BOUNDARY LINE

The early completion of West
EN- and Eastern Avenues in the
District of Columbia to form a
boundary highway along the
Montgomery county line and per
mission to allow Federal en-
ployes residing in Montgomery
unity to take part in county
politics, were asked in resolutions
presented at the meeting Of the
County Civic Federation last
night in the Bethesda school,.
BY making the boundary boule-
ward as intended in the L'Enfant
plan for the development of the
National Capital, picturesque and
beautiful drive around the Dis
trict would be added, as well as
a connecting link for the main
highways leading out of Wash
ington.
The Civic Federation voiced
opposition to- a proposed plan
whereby Takoma Park and Silver
Spring would each have a senior
high school with junior high
for the use of both. ~
Robert Bondy, chairman of the
schools committee, in his report
objected to three schools in the
eastern suburban district on the
grounds that it is inconsistent
with economy and with educa-
tional efficiency to support three
sectional schools instead Of one
central senior high school.
A resolution was offered asking
that an impartial, recognized
educational authority be retained
to make survey Of the situation
before the schools are built.

the proposal-which appeared in

made the following statement:
"Cable dispatches set forth
that the London Daily Herald
has announced that President
Hoover is considering a pro-
pOSal to call a world confer

The announcement is erroneous.
"The facts are these: The

House yesterday asking that
the. President comment on its
editorial advocating such a con-
ference. I said that there was
no comment to be made here.
The Herald asked if the edi-
tOrial would be considered. /
replied that if the American

would be read. That was the

First details of the havoc wrought
In the interior of British Hon.
duras by the hurricane which
killed at least 1000 persons in
the city of Belize were received
by International News Service to-
day in dispatches from Tela,
Honduras.
The messages revealed that
more than 1900 Indians lost
their lives when the hurricane
demolished a number of towns
and villages in the interior,
raising the total death toll to at
least 5000.
Bodies In Trees
Houses, cattle, and human
bodies were hurled high in the
air when the gale swept through
the interior. Human bodies and
the debris of wrecked homes were
scattered for miles.
Relief workers found bodies
lodged in the branches of high
trees or lying broken and battered
far from the sites of their
wrecked homes.
The hurricane followed the
course Of one of the largest in
land rivers, completely destroy
ing all native huts along its
shores and levelling crops
throughout the fertile valley.
The river was filled with the
corpes of human victims and the
carcasseS of animals, running the
water supply over a wide area.
Need Medical Aid
The hundreds of persons in
jured in the disaster were re.
ported to be suffering horribly
owing to the lack of medical aid
Most Of them were forced to de-
pend upon the most primitive
methods of healing.
Complete disruption of all nor.
