WINTER MULCH PROTECTS
PLANTS
Straw OvercOats On Flower
Beds And Around Orna.
mental Shrubs

That a winter mulch of
straw or leaves, or a covering
of burlap is a protection to
tender shrubs or other peren-
NAL plants from heat rather
than cold will come as a sur
prise to many gardeners. Yet,
this is the statement of Mark
M. Shoemaker, assistant spec
ialist in landscape gardening
for the University of Maryland
Extension Service.
The real purpose of the
mulch, he states, is to prevent
the sun from thawing out the
ground too rapidly, as therein
lies the danger to the roots.
Successive freezings and thaw-
ings tend to heave newly
planted perennials out of the
ground, he says.
1t is not likely, according to
Mr.. Shoemaker, that freezing
of the ground can be prevented
by the depth of mulches ordia-
'arily put on. He advises wait
ing until after the first heavy
frost, or freeze, before doing
this garden chore and then
doing it while the ground still
is frozen.
Pruning in the fall or early
spring is perfectly safe for
some types of Towering shrubs,
this specialist says, but it is
disastrous for other types. He
points out that some kinds Of
shrubs, such as Forsythea,
Flowering Ounce, and Weig-
ella, which bloom early in the
year, produce flowers on wood
made the previous summer.
Pruning that kind of plants in
fall or early spring, he states,
removes wood that would bear
bloom. Late summer or fall
blooming shrubs. such as n.y.
drai yea, althea, or crepe myr-
tie, bloom on wood made dur
ing the current season and
may be pruned safely.
Without worrying about the
reasons, Mr.. Shoemaker says.
it is a safe rule in most cases
to prune Immediately after
blooming.

Long distance telephone headquar-
tiers in New York, the largest long
distance center in the world, has just
been remodeled and doubled in size.
This building is literally the cross
roads of all main long distance tele-
phone routes Of the Bell system in the
northeast. From these offices direct
telephone circuits radiate to many of
the important cities in the United
States, Canada. and Cuba and to
switching points for Mexico. All tele-
phone calls from North America for
Europe, South America, the Far East
and ships at sea are handled in this
building according to officials of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
In addition to the telephone lines
passing through this Office it is the
principal nerve center for the great
radio chains. Here is located the con-
troll room for the nationwide hookups
furnished the broadcasting companies.
This building also houses the Bell
systems largest teletypewriter en-
change.
The present building is twenty-eight
stories in height and covers an entire
city block. 1t occupies nearly twice
the ground as that of the old build
ing. The. original building was erected
in 1912 and seven floors were added
in 1917.
In addition to the numerous switch
boards. long distance testboards, and
other equipment connected with tele-
phone and telegraph operations the
building contains an assembly room
seating 500, three cafeterias, a COM
plete medical department and rest and
recreation facilities Another feature
is dormitory for the use of operators
who work late hours.

FESTIVAL OF THE HAIR.
VEST

Five colorful episodes of the
harvest time in the widely diff
ferent sections of the United
States, three symbolic dance
interludes, and an impressive
prolog and epilog, suggestive
of the "Vision of George Wash
ington" and the ultimate full
fillment of that vision will
make up the varied program of
the Festival of the Harvest"
which the District of Columbia
George Washington Bicenten-
NAL Commission will present
for three nights, October II, IL
and Is, at the Sylvan Theatre
in the Washington Monument
Grounds, in honor of the 200th
anniversary of the birth OF
George Washington.
The United States Army
Band, under the leadership of
Capt. William j. Stannard, will
furnish musical accompani-
ments for the pageant, it was
announced by DR.. George G.
Havenner, Executive Vice
President of the local commits
sion.
The harvest episodes will in
clude The Early Harvest in
New England, Harvest in the
Colonial South, The Harvest
Moon in the Middle West, The
Wheat Harvest in the North
west, and The Harvest Market
of the Golden West. Mrs.
Marie Moore Forrest has writ
ten the pageant and Mrs. Full
ton Lewis has written the pro-
log and epilog. Mrs. Maud
Howell Smith, Miss Bess Davis
Schreiner and William F. Bak-
er are assisting the D. G. BIZ
centennial Commission in the
preparation for this autumn
festival.
Five hundred participants
representing outstanding dra-
ma groups and other organi-
cations in the city will take
part in the scenes of the pag-
cant. There will be forty sing
ers, and twenty dancers. The
wide variety of the scenes and
periods of the festival will per-
nit of a vast variety of cos
tunes, worn by Americans
throughout the history of the
country. The prolog and cpl
log will present George Wash
ington in person; the remaind-
er of the pageant will be char
acteristic and symbolic, but not
definitely historic, as to per-
sons and places.

IN ONT take camping too seri-
ously-after all, it is an ad-
venture. In these days of
convenient equipment, it is a
temptation to provide this and
that modern gadget, until finally
a-camping we go with our cars
laden down with everything but
the electric refrigerator and wash
ing machine. All of which does
something to that gypsy spirit
which lures us out into the open.
Let's go camping, but let's leave
everything at home that we can
get along without. Canned arti-
choke hearts and Brussels sprouts
are perfect for the bridge lunch
con table, but out in the woods
where you go in for food in big
way, whole kernel corn, salmon,
beans, corned beef and succotash
are better.
Food for Hungry Folks
Did you ever build an outdoor
grill? Two logs placed in a large
Vshape, a few rocks with grill
across the top, and you have an
oven that will cook, in a hurry,
a lot of food for a lot of hungry
people. Get your cooking utensils
at the five-and-ten cent store, so
in case they become too blackened
you can toss them out when you
pack up to go home. Use paper
plates, paper cups for hot and
cold drinks and, of course, paper
napkins. Parchment paper, strange
as it may seem, makes a perfect
dish cloth. and it can be hung on
the branch of a tree to dry and
used again and again.
Picnics cost as little as staying

meats. Be sure to include wide
variety of healthful canned fruits,
and if there are children in the
party include strained vege-
tables and strained fruits.
The following is an inventory
of canned foods compiled by the
National Gamers Association,
which has proved satisfactory for
four hearty adults for seven days,
in a country that cannot be de-
pended upon for supplies.

at home, according to a bulletin
recently issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
This is probably also true of
camping. The bulletin says:
"Any sandwich of meat, cheese
or fish is improved" according to
the United States Department of
Agriculture, "by adding a little
cucumber, onion, tomato, pickle or
lettuce-frizzled Clipped beef and
lettuce for example; bacon, to-
mato, and lettuce; ham, corned
beef, bologna, liverwurst; or sum-
mer sausage, sliced for sandwich
filling and supplemented with
lettuce or tomato, thinly sliced
cucumber, onion, raw carrot or
raw turnip.
"Then there is another picnic
morsel, not everywhere familiar,
called the kabob. A long skewer,
run through a series of one-inch
cubes or slices first of meat, then
onion, then again meat, onion, as
long as there is room on the
skewer. All this is roasted over
the fire, to be taken hot off the
skewer in a folded slice of bread,
or a roll"
Balanced Camp Meals
When you are camping, If your
supply kit Is Well-filled with these
canned meats and fish, it is often
possible to serve the raw green
foods, very cheaply by obtaining
them from a farm in the vicinity
Of your camp site. Or you can
have a well-balanced diet by serv-
ing delicious canned vegetables,
such as stringless beans, sauer-
kraut, tomatoes, etc.. with your
