adopted until the boards next open
session

fronted with the task of providing edu-
cation for Washingtons school children
with fewer teachers than were avail

Commandant for Economic
Purposes.

The 3,700 civilian workmen at the
Washington Navy Yard are on holi-
day today. Rear Admiral Henry v.
Butler, the commandant, taking advan-
tage of a recent Navy Department

to open the yard today, which inter-
venes between Sunday and holiday.
Accordingly, the local navy yard Is
closed industrially and employees who
have leave with pay are reaping the
benefit of that arrangement, but those
who have already used up their leave
are taking payless holiday.

recting that navy yards and stations
could be shut down today, If In the

of second degree murder in connection
with the drowning of his wife and baby

GIANT CLOVER WITH SEVEN LEAVES
GROWING ON SINGH STEMS FOUND
Smithsonian Botansts Wonder Why Such Conspicuous
Species Escaped Attention So Long.

Discovery Of giant clover with
seven leaves, described as 'one of the
most remarkable plants found in the
United States in recent years." has
just been reported to the Washington
Academy Of Science by c. " Morton,
botanist of the Smithsonian Institution.
How such large and conspicuous
plant species has escaped attention for
so long is a mystery to Smithsonian
botanists. It was found growing on
sage brush slopes in the State Of Wash
ington and was sent to the Smithsonian
for Identification.
The new plant obviously belonged to
the clover group, which includes hun
dreds of species growing in temperate
climates the world over, but 1t had
stem nearly 2 feet high and bore heads
of flowers close to inches In diameter.
A remarkable feature was that of the
seven leaves growing at the end Of a

Most clover leaves are on short stem
leaves close to the main stem of the
plant. The leaves themselves are long
and narrow, like fingers. Those on the
plant studied were approximately a
quarter of an inch wide and nearly
8 inches long.
This may be one of the last con-
spicuous new plants to be discovered
in the United States, because nearly
every part of the country has been
'botanized," either by experts or COM
petent amateurs. New varieties come
to light from time to time, but their
differentiating characters are usually
obscure and can be detected only by
experts. The giant clover, 1t Is ex-
planned, may grow only In q very
limited range. not hitherto thoroughly
explored by botanists.
The blossoms alone, Judging from its
size. would make the plant quite con-
spicuous to the amateur.

10000 FORESTERS
TO GET TRIP WEST.
Army From This Section Will
Be Sent to Utah, Nevada
and Colorado.

Some 10000 forestry army recruits
are going to get a free train ride three
fourths of the way across the country
this Summer.
The youths, enrolled from the East
and Middle West, are to be sent to the
Far West in special trains for work in
the National and State forests in Utah,
Colorado, Nevada and other States this
side of the Pacific Coast, 1t became
known today.
Decision to send them into the West
was reached after survey disclosed
that there were more men enrolled
from the East than could be employed
on approved work projects. In the
West, however, there are more projects
than there are enrollments.
Dead Line Wednesday.
Robert Fechner, director of Emergency
Conservation Work, announced yester-
day during an inspection tour of the
camps in the Shenandoah National
Park that no further applications for
enrolment in the Civilian Conservation
Corps would be accepted after Wednes-
day.
Director Fechner also revealed that
the number of forestry work projects
would have to be reduced and that
probably about 200 tentatively approved
camps eliminated. This was necessi-
tated by the fact the survey showed
the projects would require the employ
ment of 345,000 men, whereas only
100000 are authorized to be hired.
Fechner was particularly interested
yesterday in the type of toilet sets
issued to the men at the Skyland and
Big Meadows camps. Under fire from
Capitol Hill because he let contract
for 100000 kits at $1.40 each, he ex-
amined closely the sets issued through
the Army to the civilian conservation
lists.
Holds Kits Better.
The kits now in use consist of
razor and two blades, toothbrush, shaw
ing brush, comb and soap. The sets
for which Fechner contracted include
a razor and five blades, shaving brush,
tooth brush shaving soap, tooth paste,
comb, mirror and sewing kit, all packed
in waterproof box.
Senator Carey of Wyoming recently
introduced a resolution demanding to
know why the emergency conservation
work director had paid ST 40 for toilet
sets when the Army paid less than
half that price Fechner declined to
comment on the controversy, but 1t
was learned that in case of an 1nves-
tigation he will seek to prove that the
kits which he bought are of better
quality and contain more articles than
the regular Army issue.
Fechner was accompanied on the in
spection trip by H. K Bishop con-
struction chief of the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads, who supervised the construc-
ton of the Skyline Drive. on which the
two camps are located J. J. McEntee
and Charles H Taylor, assistants to
the director; Guy Mckinney, publicity
director of the c. C. c., and w. M.
Austin, resident engineer of the drive.
