Before a single blossom makes glad
the sight, the signs of earliest Spring
are seen in the irrepressible, joyful tide
of color rising in the timber switches
and new shoots Of the willows. The
we'll known Flora of the District Of
Columbia" that the Smithsonian pub
lished gives April and May for the
blooming dates OF our willows. I think
this is bit too late for some Of them,
such as the sandbar and silky willow
and the prairie willow. which constitute
our pussy willows; these generally
flower In March or even in February.
But even before their little catkins
show forth, we see the healthy. jolly.
cheering color Frightening the length of
their twigs.
We have 10 willows in the District
growing spontaneously, of which seven
are natives, the weeping, white and
crack willows, according to the District
Flora" being introduced trees that
have naturalized themselves. l have
never seen the true white willow of Eu-
rope here, but the yellow willow, for
which it is commonly mistaken, is COM
mon, and its twigs are among the hand
soonest at this season.
Our black willow, a tree or shrub, has
reddish-brown to pale orange twigs, and
SO has the sandbar willow. The crack
willows switches are green, suffused
with red; the weeping willows, green,
Suffused with yellow; the prairie willow,
mere bush, has yellowiSh to brown
twigs, and so 1t goes, each kind having
shades almost peculiar to itself.
So faithful is the sap in its rising
that not even a return of cold weather
or late SnowstOrm stops it. Indeed,
as we all know, the sap begins to rise
in the sugar naples of Vermont in
February. In short. sap does not rise
in response to warm weather, and
though it is still mystery in many
ways, it seems, from the evidence Of
such trees as willows and naples, that
it begins to mount, against gravity from
its storage place in the roots. from in
ternal, accumulated pressure, as hot
water will rise to the top of high

Tomato Uses.

Keep a few cans of tomato paste or
puree on hand in your food cupboard
You'll find them useful ean preparing
luncheon or dinner in a hurry. For
instance you can make an excellent
tomato soup from this concentrated
tomato. Simply put the paste into a
pan and add enough boiling water to
give broth of desired strength If
you like, you may use teaspoonful Of
beef extract or a beef cube to- give It
a richer flavor, and little onion juice
celery salt or other seasoning. ........
II you happen to. be out OF tomato
juice cocktail or strained tomato juice
and want to prepare tomato cocktail
just dilute the paste, season with lemon
juice, If you like, and with salt and
pepper to taste, and there you are.
Tomato paste was first prepared and
used In Italy, and 1t is an ideal COM
plement to spaghetti or macaroni. Us
uauy the paste Is used in concentrated
form, simply heated, seasoned and
poured over the hot cooked macoroni
or spaghetti. Try making a mushroom
tomato sauce by adding a few cut-up
canned mushrooms to the tomato
paste.
The sauce needed for Spanish
omelet may also be made from tomato
paste. Dilute the paste slightly. add
minced cooked peppers and onions, and
salt and pepper to taste.
Tomato aspic or tomato jelly may be
made from tomato paste. Simply use
diluted paste instead of strained to-
mato juice in your usual tomato jelly
recipe.
Tomato paste and tomato puree are
terms used to apply to concentrated
tomato pulp, but the paste is usually
more highly concentrated than the
tomato puree. Tomato paste usually
comes In cans holding five or six
ounces, while the puree comes in cans
holding from 10 ounces to 6l2 pounds.

should wait until Tinkham was on the
floor.
Il can't help that Blanton shouted.
"If some one were here attacking me,
I'd be around looking after my inter-

The first step to take when your child catches
cold, doctors agree, is to cleanse the body of
all accumulated waste and infection-breeding
material.
To carry off this poisonous matter nothing is
better than Castoria 1t acts gently and mildly
enough for chlldren's delicate requirements, and
yet it does the work unfailingly.
Castora, you know, is pure vegetable prep
aration made specially for babies and children
1t contains no harsh, harmful drugs, no narcotics
of any kind. 1t is so mild you can safely give it
to relieve colcky baby. Yet, in larger doses, it
is an effective regulator for older children. And
When you find cold, little fever or diges-

Your doctor will commend you for wise, prompt
action. Don't forget - the genuine Castoria
always has the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher
on the package. Be sure you get genuine Castoria.

STREET EXTENSION
STUDY IS URGED
Board Of Trade Group Favors
Cutting Fifteenth Street
Through to Bridge.

An early start on the formulation OF
plans by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the District
Commissioners to obtain authority and
appropriation to extend Fifteenth street
southwark from Constitution avenue to
provide another link with the Highway
Bridge exit from the city, was advo-
Gated yesterday by the Streets and
Avenues Committee of the Washington
Board Of Trade The meeting was held
in the Hamilton Hotel.
Charles w. Eliot, I'd, director of
planning of the Park and Planning
Commission, discussed the subject of
the extension of Fifteenth street at the
meeting, stating the commission has
made extensive studies of the problem.
To continue Fifteenth street through
the Monument Grounds on a straight
line, Mr.. Eliot said, would imperil the
stability of the Washington Monument,
in the opinion of experts and engineers,
and it would, therefore, be necessary to
cause the roadway to make a slight
curve away from the base of the shaft
Because of the closing of certain
streets south of Pennsylvania avenue
incident to the Government buildings
program, the commission also has con-
sidered the possibility of forming a
direct link with Fourteenth street and
the Highway Bridge by way of Twelfth
and Water streets, Mr.. Elliot said.
The subject Of a southern approach
to the Arlington Memorial Bridge, a
project which the committee has sup
ported, was discussed at the meeting
by DR.. s. M. johnson.
The meeting was presided over by
George Graham, chairman Of the COM
mittee.

Justice Walter I. Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court and Thomas E. Lodge Of

perform legal functions in such mat
tiers as the preparation of wills.
George H. O'Connor suggested an
amendment to exempt title companies
from the bill in the matter of convey
ances. F. A. Maltby objected to the
measure in its present form.
Among those who spoke against the
bill as being too drastic were John A.

WEEK LEFT FOR PAYMENT
OF SECOND HALF TAXES

Tax Collector Chatham M. Towers
today warned District taxpayers that
only one week remains for payment of
second half taxes on real estate and
personal property. Any tax paid after
next Thursday will carry a penalty Of
l per cent.
Mr.. Towers said taxes are coming in
more slowly than usual this month, and
that the months figures would prob
ably be under the receipts Of March,
1881.
He urged those sending in their tax
payments by mail either to write their
present addresses under their names as
they appear on the tax bills, or to send
a stamped self addressed envelope for
their tax receipts.

Meanwhile, as the German born

do nothing unless Dr. Wolter faints on
the streets, exhibits some outward sign
of an unbalanced mind, or is the sub
