would give new encouragement TO
their armies and through them TO the
people. The First division itself was
keen TO take more active part and
was soon TO have the opportunity.
This division had been billeted in
the training area since July Is and
had begun TO show the excellent eff
fects of the system of training we had
prescribed. At the maneuver which
attended the officers handled their
units with considerable skill, particu-
larry Capt F. 81. Burr, who conducted
an attack with his battalion OF the
Twenty regiment, and Maj.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who did
similar problem with his battalion of
the Twenty-si1th regiment.
Pleased With Efficiency.
At the division school the bayonet
exercises. special target practice. FIR
ing with trench mortars, bomb-throw-
ing and other trench training were
well carried out I returned much
pleased with the evidences Of eff
cheney in this organization, which was
later to become famous among the
armies on the western front.

Officers Visit 8attlefelds.
In accordance with my recommends
ton, division commanders from the
states were being sent over to visit the
battlefelds, armies and schools in or
der to become acquainted with condi-
tons and TO experience the atmos-
phere of war. 1t was important that
they should appreciate the realities
and become fully impressed with the
urgency Of thorough preparation of
their commands. 1t was thought they
would become impressed with the ag-
gressive spirit that characterized our
training in France by coming into
close touch with our methods.
These officers were sent to visit the
allied fronts and TO see demonstra-
tons at our own training fields and
schools and were also taken along the
line of communications. l took occa-

A number of the officers sent over
were either physically unfit or had
reached the age when new ideas fail
to make much of an impression. and
consequently I recommended that
those of both classes be left at home
for other duty or to be retired.

FOOD AND DRUG INSPECTORS TO
 VISIT BANNERS
Leave Today to Make An nual Inspection of
 SEE. Alaska Plants

To inspect Southeast Alaska sal mon canneries, A. w. Hanson and E. A. Gray, of the Federal Food and Drug Administration, left here this morning on voyage that will carry them into every operating cannery in the Division. They are making the trip on the Forestry boat Ranger TX, Capt. George Pe- terson.
 Each canning season for several years, inspectors of the Food Ad- ministration have gone through the canneries of the Territory, observ- ing precautions taken to insure a sanitary and healthful pack. To cover Southeast Alaska usually re- quires two weeks, and the present trip is expected to occupy at least that long.
 In past years, the inspectors have found the canneries in good shape and have praised the meth ods taken by the operators to in sure a high quality pack.

School Opens.

washIngton's new school year has
opened under unusually suspicious cir
cunnstances, as far as some Of the chill
dren are concerned. In some schools
the prosaic business Of sitting at desks
has been eliminated because there are
no desks, and the children are permitted
to indulge in the much more fascinating
pastime Of sitting on old newspapers.
In others the stuffy class rooms have
been abandoned for the green lawn OUT
side. In q few cases there was nice.
fresh paint to track around and smear
on the horribly clean clothing that
mother had set aside for the opening

The Civilian Trial Board.

The Commissioners, with the aid and
advice of the city's trade and civic
organizations, have selected five citizens
whose ability to sit in unprejudiced
judgment Of policemen and police Of
f1cials charged with various short
comings is unquestioned. Two promi-
nent educators, an attorney and two men
who for many years have been identified
with religious, social and civic enter
prises in the Capital make up tho list.
In each case they are men who have
already established themselves in the
confidence of the community. Their
names are definite guarantees against
the sort of whispering campaigns that
might succeed in undermining public
trust in their ability to carry through
successfully the task that awaits them.
This committee, or board, of five can
be counted on to give the police and the
public a square deal. It meets, there
fore, the qualifications demanded.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES e. TRAcEWELL.

The rain washes it of, you say2
Not drop of it washed of during
the great drought Of 1890, and yet
practically all plants and shrubs man
aged to get along wonderfully well, con-
sidering that many Of them never got
any water for half year.
+ 4 X
Ferns are indoor plants which we re-
spect but do not like.
Ferns do not enjoy exactly the vogue
today which they had during the So
called gay COS. When Mckinley was
IN the White House and Nat Goodwin
on the stage the houSeholders of
America went in for ferns on a large
scale.
Every housewife had a row of them
in the parlor, which was q feature Of
every proper home.
When beau came to call on the big
sister OF the family he used the fern
jars as receptacles for his cigarette
ashes.
Mother ordinarily would discover this
to say about it, too.
AS far as any one could discover,
however, the practice did not hurt the
ferns at all. Maybe the ashes helped
fertilize them, as q matter of fact.
II they began to get yellow looking,
1t was not the ashes, but the too hot
atmosphere, Lack of water, and the fact
that ferns were a sickly lot, anyhow.
Some Of the other favorite indoor
plants were geraniuns, begonias and
grown for its foliage, and the Wander
ing Jew, vine.
Nor must the geranium, a prime IA
vorite be forgotten.
All OF these are grown today, In a
million homes, more or less, particularly
in the country and in small towns.
A usurper in city homes is the cactus,
in some one or more Of the 1000
varieties.
The cacti appear easy to grow, off,
hand. The unwary would think that
seem to be as tricky as many another
supposedly less hardy plant.
The trouble with the cactus Is that
one does not know when to water it, or
how much.
If you think 1t can get along without
any water at all, or only at very longer
intervals, the first thing you know the
thing curls up and dies.
If you give it a drink, say as much
as a teaspoonful, every now and then,
| it rots.
ums, If you want to, but let the cactus
alone. And the prickly monkey puzzle
tree.
y X X \
If the puzzle tree is such puzzle in
England, it is no wonder that 1t Is not
a favorite here.
There seems little point to growing
things which need Winter protection.
In Washington and vicinity even
roses do well without any straw cover
| ings. There are a few tea roses which
need thick mulch, but the great ma
jority of favorite garden roses can get
along without any protection at all.
If the monkey puzzle tree is the
favorite of English suburban gardens,
what is Americas favorite suburban
plant?
surely it must be the California
priyet. Some garden writers tend to
sheer at the uniformity Of these neat
hedges, but there is little point to their
mirth.
No hedge is better, and few as good

system has been made applicable to all
but q few outlying sections of the city
by the provision OF new buildings, two
of them opening for the FAN term yes
terday and another to be completed
before the end of the school year, thus
reducing some Of the congestion in the
crowded high schools and elementary
buildings. Twenty-eight of the old
wartime portable buildings have been
dispensed with because Of new con-
struction, and the school officials, it is
hoped, will Immediately consign them
to some isolated dumping place from
which there can be no resurrection.
In all, the taxpayers and the school Of
ficials probably have more to show for
their money and for their efforts than
on any school-opening day since the
war.
The year promises another record
enrolment" There has been steady
succession of these record enrollments,
natural Accomplishments Of Washing
toms growth Of population. The abil-
ity Of the school system to care for it
adequately win be determined after
the first weeks confusion has given
place to definite assignments OF class
rooms and teachers. There still remain
part-time classes, diversified classes; in
some sections kindergarten children
will have to alternate between morning
and afternoon attendance. But as
whole, conditions have improved and
ri.e outlook is encouraging.
The objective, of course, has not
been reached. That objective is to pro-
vide a school system that anticipates
the yearly increase and is equipped to
care for the demand. Since the lean
war years the demand has exceeded the
supply Of equipment and teacher per-
sonnet. Until the schools are year
or two ahead of the demand, there can
be no let-up in the city's efforts to
create the model system that the Ma
tons Capital has right to expect.

else of all existing power by that body

pecially as the price IL less than it
would otherwise be.
It is, indeed, seriously questionable
whether there Is any advantage to the
manufacturer in making cars-not only
parts of cars-that will last too long.
There is no denying the fact that no
one really wants to drive an old car
that is hopelessly out-of-date in APP

Hoover Plan Has Not
Saved European Situation.
The Central European Observer,
Prague-The economic outlook In Cen
trail Europe, as reflected in the edi-
torials of the press, is by no means
encouraging. The hope that the eco
nomic crisis would pass before the end
of the year has been found baseless.
1t is conceded that the realization OF
Mr.. Hoover's plan will make lighter
the financial tasks OF the respective
states, all suffering from from industrial IND sdai
to solve the problem Of balanced
budgets for the next year. That, how
ever, viii not save the economy which
does not and cannot, in the long run,
live on the state.
The only salvation can come from
the consumption power Of the world
population, possibility rather re-
mote when taking into account that
millions of people, including most Of
the Europeans, have reached the point
where they are scarcely able to pur-
chase the necessities Of life. The
coming Winter must, therefore. be ex-
pected to be severe, and there are
symptoms aplenty which justify this
prognoSis.
The final agreement between France
and the United States in the matter
OF the Hoover plan has not Influenced
the Central European bourses as was
expected. They reacted only weakly
owing to the fact that the effect of
the moratorium was discounted even
at the moment the intentions OF Presi-
dent Hoover became known, and the
German situation is still acute enough
to be the focus Of European interest.
