NEW RE|CHSTAG
READY To VOTE
DICTATORSHIP
Non Hindenburg Urges Nation
To Back Hitler; Crown
Prince at Ceremony

BERLIN, March 81 G.N.SD.
The death knell of Republican
Germany as established by the
constitution of Weimar was
sounded by Capt. Hermann Will
helm Goering today, addressing
the opening session of the new
Reichstag. He declared:
To-day we herald the rebirth
Of the old Potsdam Prussian
spirit"
Captain Goering voiced his for
NAL dismissal of the Republican
regime Immediately after being
reelected speaker of the Reich
stag.
Crown Prince Present
Among those who heard him
were the former Crown Prince
and hundreds of others who
earlier in the day had gathered
in the garrison church at Pots
dam to hear President Won Hin
denburg appeal to the nation to
support dictatorship headed by
Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
Freedom and honor, Goering
told the assemblage, will be the
foundation of the coming Ger
many.
Hitler, in a Nazi uniform, oc-
cupied a seat in the orchestra of
the opera house along with the
Nazi deputies. The former Crown
Prince joined the Nazis in loudly
applauding Goering's address.
The Reichstag then recessed
until Thursday, at which time it
Is expected to pass a measure
granting Hitler the dictatorial
powers he desires.
President Paul Won Hindenburg
exhorted the Reich to unite be-
hind the dictatorship Of Chancel-
1or Hitler. He said:
"The elections gave my cabi-
net and chancellor a cOnstitu-
tiOnaI majority.
''The Prussian tradition of
loyalty and love Of the father
land is again needed to make
Germany a country proud and
free. 1 appeal to members of
the cabinet, the Reichstag and
the people to cooperate with
my chancellor for solution of
Germany's burning domestic
and foreign problems"
Hitler Also Speaks
Chancellor Hitler, who spoke
when the president had finished,
alluded to the rise of his National
Socialist party as restoration
Of the national honor"
Thus concluded a celebration
without a parallel in the history
Of Germany.
For a brief period, the nation
turned back to the days of i'm
perial splendor. The meeting in
the Garrison Church was simply
the official expression of a wave
of Nationalistic feeling which

BANK AID At
HIGH FIGURE

Wide scale participation of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton was seen today in the re-
organization of banks of the United
States now in the hands of con-
GervatorS.
Several thousands banks will be
permitted to open for 100 per cent
business under plans for purchase
of preferred stock by the Finance
Corporation. Many millions of
dollars in deposits thus will be
released.
All banks so openly virtually
will have the Governments guar
antee of their security. Moral as
surance from the Government
that banks already opened for
business are sufficiently backed
to perform all banking functions
is implied in their license to
operate.
In connection with plans for
formation of a new national
bank at Detroit, it was stated
that the corporation contemplated
purchase of so per cent of the
$25, 100000 capitalization in pre-
ferred stock, Chrysler and General
Motors to subscribe the other half
in common stock.
This would be made the basis
for reorganization of new banks
in cities where financial institu-
tions are in the hands of con-
Servators. It was emphasized that
dollar for dollar with stock pur-
chased by the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation must be forth
coming from local sources.

ATTENTION is URGED
FOR DAMAGED TREES
Those Injured in Recent Storm
Should Receive Care Now,
Authority Declares.

Valuable shade trees damaged by
storms need prompt attention If
their beauty Is 10 be maintained
and long life assured, it is advised
by w. r. Ballard, landscape spe-
cialist of the University OF Maryland
extension service. Many trees have
broken limbs. he says. and the wounds
left are openings In the defensive
armor, which invite attacks Of fungi
and insects. He advises cutting off the
broken limbs and stubs smoothly. SO
that the bark will have better chance
to cover the wound with new tissue
and thus close the place where
enemies may enter.
Mr.. Ballard says that many persons
seem to have more or less prejudice
against tree surgeons, but it is his
and competent operators if consulted
annually, would save heavier costs
later as well as preserve many valu-
able trees.
Forest pathologists Of the U. S.
Department OF Agriculture sometimes
can give valuable advice regarding the
advisability of undertaking tree repair
work. What Is needed on the part Of
the public is a greater appreciation Of
the value of fine shade trees and a
realization that annual attention pays
big dividends.
The abundant rains Of the past sea-
son have made a wonderful improve
ment in the condition of many trees
which had suffered in the preceding
dry seasons. 1t is emphasized by the
specialists that trees need food as well
as other plants. In many cases. they
saiy, it would pay to feed the trees we'll
in addition to any surgical work that
is done. Trees which through neglect
have suffered heavy inroads from fun
gus attacks or insects had best be re-
placed with young, vigorous-growing

COMPETITION HELD
AID TO BUILDING
virginian Declares It Has
Kept Homes Abreast of
Modern Times.

Keen competition among builders and
marketers of homes has kept the art of
planning and building homes abreast
with the development Of modern times,
writes Ashton C.. Jones, sr president
of the Virginia Real Estate Association,
in the magazine Northern Virginia
Home Life.
'The last two decades have virtually
revolutionized the home that is within
the reach of the average home owner
he says.
as an example of each step in this de-
velopment. When we compare the
home that was produced 20 years ago,
usually rather grotesque in design and
lacking SO many of the elements OF
comfort and convenience, with the new
house that Is constructed today, we can
but pause and murmur to ourselves.
What an age!'
Homes Large and Costly.
1T is quite true that some excellent
houses were constructed 90 or even
many more years ago than that, and
good number of these houses compare
most favorably with homes built today.
However. these homes were usually
large and costly and far beyond the
reach of the large body Of purchasers.
1t has been only in the last few years
that the many conveniences that go to
make up the modern 1888 home have
been made available to the man with
modest income. We have taken all
OF these changes as matter of course
We have watched them come and few
Oh Us have stopped To think how rapid
and astounding they have been.
THE injection or harmonious archi-
tectural design into the modest home
has done more to carry forward its
advancement than anything else. 1t
has been made interesting, warm,
and homelike. Every proportion, angle,
partition and panel is so designed as
to give the comfortable serenity that
SymbOliZeS home and what it repre-
sertS. Homes in 1888 are planned by
men who have spent years at college
studying how to produce these effects
out of brick and wood and paint
They have learned how to utilize every
square foot of floor space to its best
advantage. Architecture is one Of the
Oldest of the arts, but its application
to the smaller homes is of recent origin.
Many Of the places where this
progress in the art of home building
is brought out are adequate hot water,
steam or conditional air heating SyS-
tens; consumption of oil or gas fuel
for heating, much improved plumbing
installations, put in according to trained
supervision and regulation on the part
OF most local governments: bath room
equipment, decoration. ETC.; kitchen
