ELLIspoRT woMAN's CLUB.

One Of the most interesting meetings
of the club this year was that held at
the home Of Mrs. Ada Flenner last
Thursday afternoon. The years pro-
gram planned by the chairman, Mrs.
George Thompson, includes variety
OF interests, educational, social, civic
and patriotic. This day was one de-
voted to renewing our acquaintance
with dear old Mother Goose and her
family, and the program could not
have been placed In more capable
hands. Mrs. Ella Caughey Bailey,
who was in charge, presented the story
OF Mother Goose. She was dressed as
that famous character and the pro-
gram was richly favored Will, the
little nonsense now and them which
the poet has assured us lis relished by
the best Of men," Riddles were pro-
pounded, and rhymes begun, to be
answered and completed by the guests
during which time at the sound Of
ding dong bell" these activities were
suspended while scenes from Mother
Goose were pantomimed by Mrs. H. O.
Hills and Mrs. D. E. Lesh.
Not only had Mrs. Bailey from her
interesting attic secured costumes for
all these characters, but her oven had
supplied the tempting tarts baked by
the Queen Of Hearts and stolen by the
Knave the hot cross buns sold "onei

EFFICIENCY OF INORGANIC
AND ORGANIC FERTILIZERS

The scenic of fertilizers is modified
(By DR.. Alvin Fox. Plant Pathological
and restricted In all directions by soil
and cultural conditions. water. climate,
etc.
Therefore, in order to obtain the
most out Of any fertilizer, a planter
must be o good farmer, as well as one
using good Judgment in the selection
Of his fertilizer.
, wish to state facts relative to the
efficiency OF Organic and inorganic"
fertilizers as stated below:
Organize matter makes the soil very
friable: 1t acts as sponge, increas-
ing the soils water holding and re-
tanning capacity. The more organic
matter the more bacteria. The bac-
teria draws nitrogen from the air and
also breaks down organic matter in
the soil. In doing this. the carbonic
acid Is formed. which acts as solvent
upon phosphorus and potassium COM
pound and upon inert and unsoluble
soil particles, making it available for
plant-food.
The action of organic fertilizers in
the soil is ideal from the standpoint
Of utility and practicability. Apply
ing organic fertilizers the plant would
obtain these results:
Increase Of organic content,
with its effect on water holding and
retaining capacity. improved mechanic
cal conditions, addition of bacteria
and increased bacteria activity. The
bacteria attacks the particles Of meat,
blood and bone transforming the
nitrogen to ammonia, in which forms
part of the nitrogen is taken up by
plants. and then into the nitrates,
which is the form In which most of
the nitrogen is absorbed by the plant.
During periods Of cold weather the
bacteria are inactive. On account OF
the inactivity Of the bacteria during
cold, wet weather, when the plant is
more or less dormant, plant food is
not made available and soluble and
liable to wash and leach beyond the
roots of the plant.
The inorganic materials have this
great drawback. that when the tree
is dormant and fertilizers are applied
and followed by rain or irrigation the
plant food is lost to the tree, being
leached beyond the roots Of the tree.
Another disadvantage of the inor-.
ganic soluble fertilizers is that they
frequently leave In the soil a residue
that is harmful to the plant When
conditions are right for the growth of
the plants they are also right for the
growth and activity Of bacteria and
the result is that plant food In the
proper amounts is liberated for the
use of the plant at the proper time
and in such quantities as the plant
may need.
/ This is natural relation and effic-
iency of the highest order. This is
perhaps the greatest reason why you
should use organic fertilizers. BY us
ing a natural product and allowing
natures force to do the rest, your
fertilizer problem will be taken care
of in a natural way. Another adj
vantage Of organic fertilizers lies in
the fact that, owing to the mechanical
condition and to the care used in the
preparation Of the fertilizer and the
properties naturally inherent in the
material, the crop will have plant food
at its disposal throughout the growing
season sufficient for all needs.

The stars of the meet were
Ruth Mess and Mary Larish, Of
Georgetown, and Margaret Rouda-

captured two first places in the
meet. Miss Mess won the 25-
yard side stroke and 25-yard free

while Miss Roudabush captured
the same two races in the 17-year.

This move was made in the
midst Of the st. Louis series, July
20. The lineup combination pre-
sented Myer at second, Sam Rice
in right, Manush, leftfield;
Cronin, shortstop: West, center
field: Bluege, third base; Kuhel,
first base; Spencer, catcher, and
the pitcher, in that batting order.
Ever since the Griffmen have
clicked (believe it or not), and
although they have taken it on
the nose many times, more games
have been won than lost, and the
team has played a more spirited
game all around as a result.
Before Walter made his move
he was presenting a different
lineup daily, it will be remem-
bered. Hayes was at second part
of the time, Myer the next day,
Harris, Harry Rice and Sam Rice
played at intervals in rightfield,
the batting order was continually
changed, all in the result that
the team was getting further in
the rut than out of it.
But since July rs, Manager
Johnson has seen q decided
change in his team. And it
has been for the better even
though the GriffS still trail the
AS by q wide margin.
In plain figures the Griffs
have won nine games in IA
played since July 26, counting
yesterdays II to defeat at the
hands Of the White Sox. Not
such a terrible showing when 1t
Is considered how bad off the
Griffs were during their slump.

The Griffs lost to the Browns
on July 26, the first day the old
lineup and batting order was
reverted to. Sam Gray beat
them, 5 to 2, in the final game
of the series. But Manager
Johnson'S men woke up during
the set of games with the Cleve-
land Indians which followed and
proceeded to take three out Of
four from Manager Peckinpaugh'S
players, dropping their lone loss
when Wesley Ferrell shut them
out in a 8 to 0 game.
Then came the series with the
AS. AS known, an even break
was turned in against the gray
horde, two victories at Griffith
Stadium, and two losses at Shibe
Park, while the three game series
sweep against the Boston Red
Sox came next. The present even
break with the Chicago White

Win BOUT
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

by OEONGE As SANAG SUN
Rudy Dusek tried hard to take
the measure Of Jim LondoS, but
the stalWart Greek was too crafty
for the Nebraskan. Londos de-
feated usek with an airplane
spin and body slam in 81 minutes
before $4,000 fans at the Clark
Griffith Stadium last night.
It wasn't superior strength that
won for Londos but the fact that
he used his head for something
better than a battering ram. The
Greek, generally recognized as
world heavyweight wrestling
champion, outsmarted his heavier
opponent.
True, Dusek clamped enough
holds on Londos in the early
stages to win most any bout, but
he was faced by cagey opponent
last night.
Breaks Hold
Dusek succeeded in applying
his famous rocking chair split"
on Londos once and he rolled and
pitched the titleholder about the
ring. Londos, just the same,
broke the lock by going for the
ropes.
Another point i'm LOndOs'
favor was his uncanny way Of
making DuSek miss with the
latter'S "thOr-hammer" blow.
Dusek is q master in using his
elbows but LOndOS kept q close
eye for the "thOr-hammer' and
was seldom struck by this
punch.
LondoS allowed Dusek to work
himself near exhaustion during
the first part Of the battle and
the fans cheered when Rudy had
LondoS on the canvas. Their
shouts Of Joy turned to groans
when Londos, after much wrig-
Cling and squirming, would re-
gain his feet.
DuSek Tires
AS Dusek showed signs Of
fatigue, the champion took the of.
fenSive for the first time. He TN
leashed a series Of holds that be-
fuddled the challenger and eli.
NAKED his attack with a couple Of
airplane spins. He then used the
body slam to put the finishing
touches to Dusek.
The fans remained in their seats
to witness the two remaining
matches and were rewarded for
their trouble.
They saw q real master of the
wrestling game, Karl POjellO,
give lesson to Babe CaddOck,
the Mid-Western yOungster. PO.
jelIO, who can use every hold
with grace, disposed Of CaddOck
in 1S minutes.
Lou Plummer and doc" Wilson
went on in the final bout, and the
pair went at each other with the
speed Of whippetS. There was
plenty Of action in this affair,
but the good doctor, now a sur
geon, put away Plummer after 18
minutes.
McNamara Scores Win
Jim McNamara, former George
town University footballer,
smashed his way to a victory
over Jack Burke, of Philadelphia,
in 16 minutes. Jim was an i'm
proved wrestler last night and
showed the fans he is learning
fast.
George zaharias, the Chicago
bad man." outslugged Son Jen-
nings, the Indian youngSter who
had the sympathy of the crowd.
Both boys took many flips out Of
the ring but Zaharias won in %
minutes, though the fans jeered
him as he walked to the dressing
quarters.
The contest between those bald
headed boys. Joe ("Toots') Mondt
and Kola Kwariani, was halted
after 20 minutes to permit the
main bout to go on.
