GROWING
OWN FOODS HERE
Fertile River Flats Used in
SeIf-HeIp Plan for Needy
Families.

Out on the flats along the Anacostia
River in Benning unemployed men ana
needy families are preparing to grow
their own diets in just the proper
proportions to carry them through most
of the Summer.
They are growing their family gar
den truck on land furnished by the
Government, with seeds supplied by the
Garden Committee of the District En-
ployment Committee, and with tools ana
advice also free and plentiful.
There are approximately l35 plots OF
ground. each containing 5000 square
feet of rich truck growing ground. and
most of these are already beginning to
show signs of the life that is expected
to be transformed into energy to keep
the unemployed active in their search
for employment and their families in
health.
Foods Planned Carefully.
Each plot is divided scientifically into
IA divisions. with each division allotted
to particular kind of garden truck, so
that each family will have the sort OF
provender that will do it the most good.
There is a goodly portion set aside
for sweet potatoes. which, according to
the supervisor Of the gardens. is mighty
fine food for the workingman. Then
there is another good sized plot for corn,
also recommended for energy produc-
ton. other vegetables included In the
list are black-eyed peas, onions, pole
beans, tomatoes. bush beans. cabbage,
carrots. Swiss chard, radishes, turnips,
beetS and Summer squash.
When a crop has been harvested. ac-
cording to the plan. its place will be
taken either by second crop of the
same vegetable or by some other ap-
proved vegetable.
Headed by Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke,
the committee in charge of the gardens
is furnishing plots to men sent it by
the Associated Charities, the Catholic
Charities and the Salvation Army.
These men are required to do all the
work on their plots and give attention
to the growing plants. II they do not,
the plots are taken from them and
given to some one more deserving.
Enough for Three Families.
1t is estimated by the committee that
each plot will actually produce enough
garden truck to feed three families, and
the paintings have been worked out
scientifically to provide the gardeners
with vegetables which will mature at
such intervals as to allow harvesting
throughout the Summer.
The expert advice on growing is sup
piled by the Department of Agriculture
through w R. Beatty. A competent
supervisor is on the grounds at all
times to see that the rules are followed,
that the plots are properly attended to,
and to give advice on planting.
Practically all of the plots now cleared
and marked off for cultivation have
been taken. but more will be available
for deserving men who seek them, the
committee states.

HITLER PROMISES

Attacks Treatment of
Veterans in u. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MUNICH, June 24.-The military
class would have special business and
political privileges in Adolf Hitler's
'third Reich" according to a conspicu-
Gus editorial commenting on the vet
Grams invasion of Washington, printed
in the Fascist leaders official newspa-
per, Voelkischer Beobachter.
The writer accuses all liberal gov
ernments of the world of being un-
grateful toward their ex-service men,
and urges political powers for military
men in proportion to their potential
value" to the nation.
Declaring the American Government
answered the demonstrators with clubs
and troops, the writer says:
This short report reveals more than
an isolated problem. 1t shows with
singular clarity that in all liberaliSti-
caily governed nations Of the world the
front soldier is reYolting against the
ingratitude of a burgeoise-run society
which in its certainty OF security for
gets what its defenders sacrificed.
Attacks Aims System.
In all these nations-and Germany
Is one of them-a paltry system of aims
distribution to former fighters was de-
vised after the World War. This is
unparalleled for shabiness and throws
q devastating light on the ethical pow
erty Of iberalism's conception of state"
Asserting that the equality between
military duty and political rights exists
nowhere today except in Fascistic
states, the writer says Of the treatment
OF soldiery in other countries: This
psychological error will annihilate the
strength of these nations in coming
wars"
IN Hitler's third Reich" the writer
concludes, the military class will have
special privileges.
"The soldier will enjoy not only spe-
cial business but also political privi-
leges, based upon his potential value to
the nation"

torial Is a huge cigarette advertisement

cards, given free with the brand. 1t
says: Every German will be delighted
to see once again the colorful uniforms

Military Views Revived.

regime, the military scene is having a

Flashing acceleration, effortiess
and sustained top speed, mark the
new Pontiac VS. as a car of bril-
liant and outstanding performance.
The new Pontiac Eight takes its
place as a worthy member of a
distinguished family of V-8's, for 1t
was designed by the same engineers
who created the first American "
type motor.
This responsive new Pontiac at
tains higher top speed than the
average driver will care to use.
Throughout It's entire speed range
IL provides instant get away and
remarkable fexibiiity. Operating at
only 5000 revolutions per minute,
the big VS. motor develops a full
IS brakehourespower.
A prime reason for this alert and
startling performance Is found in
the extremely low ratio of car
weight to horse power. together
with an axle ratio designed to take
maximum advantage OF the pow
erful motor. Also, the split second
auickness Of It's response Is attribu-
table in part to the accelerator
pump built into the graduated
three stage carburetor. When the
acceIerator pedal is suddenly de-
pressed, this pump forces a small
additional amount of fuel into the
mixing chamber, momentarily en-
richIng the mixture giving the
Pontiac VS. that smart response
that makes 1t so easy to handle un-
der all traffic conditions.
The latest mechanical develop
ments to assure quick, certain and
easy control of gears are at the dis
posaI OF the driver of the new Pom
tiac VS.. In this car are combined
all of the advantages of syncro-
mesh transmission, with its quiet
consta mt mesh second gear, and
built-in, controlled free wheeling.
BY means of this combination
Of syncro-mesh with free wheeling,
the gears may be shifted quickly,
quietly and without clashing wheth-
err the car Is in free wheeling or
not, for the syncro- mesh transmits
sion automatically matches the
speeds of the various gears. In
addition to the silence Of syncro-
mesh, the free-wheeling unit. con-
trolled by a. convenient button on

engineers point out, is the driver S
ability to pre-select gear positions
forward or reverse, while the car is
in motion and withou THE necessity
of having to use the clutch pedal
This Is an advantage that will be
especially appreciated in traffic.
Little does the average layman
realize the terrific and constant
strain that Is placed upon an auto
mobile chassis, particularly under
the quick starting and sudden
stopping demands of present day
traffic. Dodge engineers, well vers-
ed in this regard and heartily in
accord with the accepted axiom of
the industry-that motor car is
only as good as its chassis frame
have developed for the new
Dodge six and eight a new chassis
frame that Is designed to work in
exact harmony and accord with

to be propelled by a force unseen,
unheard and unfelt.
Combining vacuum controlled
clutch with an entirely separate
free wheeling mechanism, both of
which are controlled by the same
visual control on the dash, Dodge
Brothers have reduced to an even
more minute degree, the amount of
physical effort needed to operate
tn driving controls OF the new
Dodge six and eight. so automa-
tically does the vacuum controlled
clutch, standard equipment on the
Dodge eight and optional on the
six, operate when coordinated with
free wheeling, that in neither
starting nor stopping is it ever
necessary to use the clutch pedal.
Gears can be shifted silently, easily
