j. s. BUILDINGS
GIVEN OKAY

Consolidation of public works
under one administrative head
was advocated today by Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant Sd, director of
public buildings and public parks,
when he appeared before the
House Committee on Expendi-
lures in Executive Departments.
In his general discussion, Colo
mel Grant referred to the Postof-
flee Department Building, the
District Building and the State,
War and Navy Department Build
ing, and said there was no pres
ent need for demoliShing the
three buildings, as has been sug-
gested, but that they probably
will be torn down eventually.
The new site for the proposed
War Department which has been
selected in the vicinity of Twen-
ty-first and B Streets northwest,
would not include several large
houses there, such as
the Mayfair and the Potomac
Park Apartments, Colonel Grant
said.
Previous reports indicated these
apartments would be demolished
to make way for a new War De-
partment building. The Federal
Government already has enough
land for the new structure, he
explained,

SCHOOL UNSAFE
UNTIL FRIDAY

Temporarily unsafe. the Shaw
Junior High School at Seventh
Street and Rhode Island Avenue
Northwest, will remain vacated
until Friday while the building
is being repaired, it was indicated
today by Garnet C. Wilkinson,
first assistant superintendent Of
schools.
The building was vacated yes
terday and 1,500 students dis
missed when it was discovered
that the smokestack was tilted so
as to endanger the school.
The section Of the smokestack
under repair weighs one ton and
is over boiler room which ad-
joins a room where electric cur.
rent and gas are manufactured.

said, by the Supreme Court.
Freedom In Opinions
At a luncheon at the Willard
at noon today, at which Newton
D. Baker presided, Prof. j. Carl
ton Hayes of Columbia said prog
ress in religious liberty must de.
pend largely on Protestants in
this country, since they are dom.
inant. The only way to genuine
religious liberty, he said, is to
grant full freedom to those of

TAX RATE JUMP
THREATENS
DISTRICT
If Mapes Bills Fail to Pass in
Senate, House Will In
crease Levy

The District appropriations
bill for 1888 probably will not
be reported to the House for at
least two weeks, as members of
the subcommittee on appropria-
tions plan to revise the District
system of taxation to conform
to the Mapes committee report,
it was indicated today.
AS the hew revenue bill and
the independent offices appro-
priations bill are expected to re-
quire approximately two weeks
for passage, House leaders indi-
Gated they would not permit re-
porting cut of the District supply
bill until the former legislation
was disposed of.
Tax Increase Looms
Subcommittee members said
that unless the Senate acted on
the four Mapes bills for increased
taxation by the time the appro-
priationS bill is ready for report,
they propose to provide an IN
creased tax rate in the measure.
The appropriations bill recon-
mendS for obtaining revenue and
as the Mapes committee recon-
mended a $6,500,O0O contribution
from the Federal Government to
the District instead of the prev
ious $9,50O,000, it will be neceS-
Sary to provide additional sources
of revenue to compensate for the
$3,000,000 difference.
Must Raise $3,OOO,OOO
An increase of Is or 80 cents
over the tax rate Of $1.7O per
hundred is the proposal that has
found favor among subcommittee
members in order to raise the
additional $3,0O0,O0O.
In the event that the Senate
approves the four Mapes bills
for increased income tax, gas
oline tax, inheritance tax and
average automobile weight tax,
1t was said that the tax levy as
proposed for increase would
probably be lowered to the exist
ing rate when the Senate and
House conferees meet in confer
ence on the District appropria-
ton bill.

Child Hygiene Facilities;

Children who are victims Of
improper nourishment should

rather than through the me-
dium Of school lunches, accord
ing to a recommendation in a
report to the District Commits
sioners by special committee
named a year ago to study
juvenile welfare in the Dis

The committee was appointed
after Representative Clarence NC
Leod (R0 OF Michigan, had in
troduced q resolution calling for
an investigation Of the proposal
by John j Noonan, Washington
capitalist, that Congress provide
free lunches for school children.
1000 Children Cited
The report, which has 80 pages
and makes ~ recommendations,
estimates that 1000 children are
dependent for care on public and
private institutions. It suggests
that they be provided for through
the Council of Social Agencies
and the Community Chest in
their homes. and continues:

Of school lunches is deemed ad-
viSable there should be close
cooperation with the homes of
the children and the recOg-
nized welfare agencies in the
District.
"Such lunches should be
available to all alike, to those
able to pay and those not able
to pay. There should be no dis
elimination"
The report urges a division of
public education, better control
OF communicable diseases, in
creased child hygiene facilities
and social hygiene division.
New Schools Urged
Jurisdiction Of dependent chill
dren should be vested, the report
holds. in the Board of Public
Welfare, and such children should
be kept out Of juvenile court.

Disagree Over Merits
of Yellow Star Thistle

What's to be done with the yellow
star thistle? The farmers say it's
weed pest that crowds out their
grain. The bee men say it provides
their charges with nectar that
makes the finest of honey.
The state department of agrlcul-
ture has been called upon to solve
this difficult question and so far it
hasn't been able to figure any way
out. 1t has been suggested that
there are lands where this thistle
will thrive but where no other plant
OF economic value can be grown.
However. cultivating 1t solely for its
nectar is hardly possible, and this

If no way can be found to keep
this weed from damaging our cereal
crops the rule of the greatest good

ably govern and the thistle will be
subjected to organized assault

ers argue that there are other less
noxious sources OF nectar and that
star thistle honey is made at too
high a price.-LOs Angeles Times.

Time Now to Plan
for Fall Garden
Soil and Seed Beds Need
Proper and Timely
Preparation.
BY f b MORROW. Extension Horti-
culturist. North Carolina state
College.-WNU Service


Carefully preparing the soil and
using partially saded seed beds will
permit the gardener to have sup
ply of vegetables for the late fall
garden. In starting plants which
need to be transplanted, it is better
to seed them in partially shaded
seed beds rather than attempt to
plant in the open field. A lattice
work Of small Stats makes an ex-
cellent covering for such a bed, but
If Stats are not available, pine brush
or other material may be used. How
ever, this covering should be placed
high enough above the ground to
permit free circulation of the air
and give room for watering and
wedding. If the soil is dry when
the seeding is made, water it thor
oughly and then cover with old
sacks to retain the moisture. Re
move the sacks as soon as the seed
lings begin to push through the
earth.
In planting garden seeds directly
In rows, get the seed down in the
moist earth. Few instances, beans
and corn need to be planted in ratb-
er deep burrows. Cover more deeply
than when spring planting is done,
especially with the large seeded
crops.
Small seeded crops will require
considerable attention when planted
in the open field. This means a
carefully pulverized seed bed and
possibly boards or old sacks laid
over the row. When boards are
used, raise them as soon as the seed
lings push through and place each
end on a rock or brick. Harden to
the sun gradually by removing the
boards in the early morning and
late afternoon for the first few days.

MOT to be cape conscious Is not
to know fashion as it is at this
very moment and as it will be this
coming fall and winter. Every
thing from suits to evening gowns
is being capped in one way or an
other. If the cape is not an ac-
tual part of the dress, as it is in so
many instances, then it is sure to
be one of those cunning little sep
arate affairs made of velvet or silk
or lace, or what have you." for de.
signers are conjuring these graceful
shoulder wraps out of most any me-
dium.
These versatile capes are adding
a genuine note of interest to the
new modes for they offer unlimited
possibilities in the field of design.
Whether 1t be for the sports outfit
or the afternoon costume or for
wear during the formal evening
hour the cape motif is made to lend
itself to the mood and the occa-
sion.
At all evening galas in Paris
capes galore are to be seen, some
half jacket and some half-scarf and
others just capes pure and simple.
And then there's Hollywood. our
own mecca toward which all eyes
turn to see fashions at their best.
There is no doubt about the reign
of the cape vogue in that style cen.
ter. Most any day you are apt TO
meet pretty Rochelle Hudson, she
of the smiling countenance who is
waving such a Joyous salute in the

all ready for a shopping tour.
Brown and white print fashions ner
jacket dress, which takes on most
convincing note of chic in that it
fiaunts little print-lined brown vel
vet cape with velvet belt to match.
By the way, it is worth while to
keep tab of the many attractive vel
vet "sets" which complement the
new costumes. 1t is very stylish TO
wear a girdle or belt of velvet to
match ones hat. Charming three
somes are also made up of chapeau.
cape-wrap. and girdle, all of the
same material. preferably velvet.
AS to evening capes there is no
end to the procession. The prettily
frivolous little ruffled fancy cape
pictured in the center is entirely of
taffeta silk. There is just enough
protection about it to serve for a
midsummer evening, and as to
"looks" II is without doubt a
prize winning number. No one who
knows how to sew ought to be with
out one of these pretty shoulder
wraps, for it's no trick at all to
make one out of a yard or so of
silk.
AT fashionable midnight gather
ings one sees such beguiling capes
as these-a ruby red velvet model
with a single scarf end thrown
over the right shoulder; white
satin made circular cut and bor-
dered with white ostrich; pink taf-
feta outlined with a ruching of the
same; white transparent velvet
worked with rhinestones; many of
white ermine.
Autumn days will witness bevies
of novel fur capes for detachable
or rather separate fur pieces will
be played up in great fashion dur
ing the succeeding months.

Sowing Millet

1t would not be advisable to seed
millet, alfalfa, timothy and clover
together. Millet is calculated for
hay and the plants grow very thick,
requiring a good deal Of available
fertility. All of this would be detri-
mental to seeding out with the
clovers and grass. The same OBJ
lection may be given for not seed
ing down with sudan grass. The
earlier the grass and clover seed
can be sown the better for a good
catch and stand. Barley is a good
nurse crop. Sometimes land is
seeded out about the time millet
and sudan grass is sown but the
clover and grass seed is sown alone
and gets off to a sufficient start to
he all right for entering the win
ter conditions safely.

Succulent Cover Crops Best

There are two ways in which the
time Of plowing under a green crop
may materially affect the growth of
the crop which follows. In the first
place, such cover crops as rye
which live over the winter may re
move too much moisture in the
spring if they are allowed to grow
too late, and therefore leave too lit
tie moisture for the growth of the
main crop.
The second way the growth may
be affected is that when a succu-
lent crop is plowed under it decays
quickly and furnishes plant food
for the new crop, but if the cover
crop is allowed to get woody it de-
