COAST ARTILLERY
UNIT BACK HOME
260th D. C. National Guard
Outfit Return From
Training Trip.

The 260th Coast Artillery of the Dis
trict of Columbia National Guard
pulled into Washington yesterday at
1890 am, after a three-day trip from
its field training post at Fort Monroe,
Va.
Camp was made Friday night at Dunn
fries, Va, where the regiment camped
in a field provided through the cour-
tesy of Mrs. E. H. Cato. The kitchen
was set up and supper was served at
6 pm. An approved supply of water
was obtained through the commanding
general of the Marine Post at GUAM
tico, Va.
At am, the unit was on the road
again and Capt. Leroy S. Mann, the
convoy commander, collected the con-
voy at Alexandria. Va, prior to its en-
trance into Washington over the George
Washington Memorial Highway.
The troops were pleased to see the
finance officer, Maj. James II. Lusby,
who proceeded to pay every one after
the two weeks tour of duty. After re-
ceiving their money equipment was
serviced and replaced under the direc-
ton of the battery commanders and
the regiment was dismissed.
Maj. Walter w. Burns. the regi-
mental commander, was pleased to re-
port to the commanding general. Maj.
Gen. Anton Stephan, that OF all the
official vehicles in the convoy, num-
bering about 35. there were no acci-
dents during the entire Is days.

yielded less fruit but the fruit was actu-
ally lower in sugar.
A striking result of the evil effects
of Summer pruning is seen in the bush
roses. Black spot does the pruning and
as a result there are few or no roses on
the plants. More serious yet is the
fact that the plant itself is seriously
weakened and is often unable to sur
vive the succeeding Winter
There are certain exceptions. The
low-growing hydrangeas, which bloom
in June, should be pruned Immediately
after blooming and also many of the
Spring blooming shrubs, such as
deutzia, weigela and mock orange. In
this case the reduction in size, due to
pruning is often desirable in prevent
ing the plants from becoming leggy
and diversified. Pruning cannot in itself
be considered of any help to the plant,
but it may be helpful to the gardener
in keeping his plants in form.

Observes 98th Birthday
MRS MOORE RECALLS GRANDFATHER BUILT
WASHINGTON'S COFFIN.

IGHT sons and daughters and
Il many grandchildren and great
grandchildren helped Mrs.
IL Amelia H. Moore celebrate her
98th birthday anniversary Friday
terday in her home at 1911 Fairmont
street.
Mrs. Moore, widow of Dr. Joseph
B. Moore, who practiced here for many

family
Upon the occasion of her anniversary
she recalled with some pride that her
grandfather, Enoch Pelton, OF the firm
of Gran g. Pelton, Alexandria cabinet
makers, made the mahogany coffin in
which Gen. George Washington was
buried.
II guess it was the finest coffin they
ever turned out" Mrs. Moore said, but
in those days collins we're not as well
protected from the weather as they
are now.
Many years later the coffin was
found to be in poor condition because
Of the dampness to which 1t was eX-
posed. My father, Thomas Prettyman
of Alexandria, had followed in my
grandfathers footsteps as a cabinet
maker.
"AS child 1 often heard MIN tell
of how he made a second coffin for
Gen Washington's body"
Mrs. Moore's husband died about
eight years ago The couple had II
children in all, eight of whom are still
living-Mrs. Lunsford G. Orndorff,
John E. Moore, Mrs. John Mclean,
Thomas p Moore, DR.. Rosalind M.
Balm, William N Moore. all of Wash
ington. and Mrs. Bertha M. Dodge Of
Otin, N c.. and David Moore of New
York City.
In addition. there were many grand
children and great-grandchildren at
the birthday celebration. Mrs. Moore
is in excellent health and her memory
of early days in Washington is as
clear as ever.

GARDEN NOTES

That this region is on the border line
between northern and southern horti-
culture is shown by the presence here
of various plants such as the fig and
Grape myrtle and the fact that dahlia
and gladiolus will live over for several
years if not dug. One home gardener
in Takoma Park has dahlia that has

The Guild intends to place it in
rehearsal within the next few
weeks and bring it to the Guild

ably as the first offering of the
Guilds sixteenth subscription
season.
The second play is entitled
days Without End" and is de-
scribed by Mr.. O'Neill as a
modern miracle play. It will
probably be presented in Novem-
ber or December. Both plays

VoItaire' Returns
Here Tomorrow

With many requests for addi'
tional playing time for George
Arliss in "Voltaire," Warner Bros.
picture received, the management
of Warner Bros Metropolitan
Theater have been forced to ac-
cede to these many requests and
announce the opening on Wednes-
day, August 16, of "Voltaire, "
instead of the usual Friday open
ing date as announced.
"Voltaire" enjoyed a successful
weeks engagement at Warner
Bros. Earle Theater, and if it
had not been for the Earle's
weekly change of vaudeville
policy, would have been held over
for a second week.
The picture, "Voltaire," in
which George Arliss is starred
is based on a single incident in
the life of the great French poet
philosopher and firebrand whose
inflammatory writings almost
precipitated a French revolution

All German Film
Salaries SIashed

Trade Commissioner George r
Canty, Berlin, reports that the
newly appointed Spio commission,
in which all branches of the Ger
man film industry as well as the
German government are repre-
sented, has announced its firm
decision to bring about an eXten
sive cut of all star salaries and to
bring down the wages for even
the bearers of the best-knoWn
names to a basis which is tolera-
BILE to the producer, the renter and
the exhibitor.
If the stars should turn deaf
ear to the appeal for a voluntary
reduction, there is no doubt that
their names and salaries they de-
mand, which have been running
up to 1890, 900 marks for a film of
about four weeks production, will
be made public in the press.

Western Thrills
Columbia

The kiddies no doubt would
put a gerat okay on Haunted
Gold" now showing at Loew'S
Columbia, not to mention the
added reissue of one of Charlie
Chaplin's early efforts in slap
stick comedy. Whether the adult
public is apt to wax so enthusias-
tic is not a very deep matter of
conjecture.
John Wayne, 1.-the and expert
horseman, and Duke" trained
horse and star of so many West
erin films, are putting on a real
melodrama such as graced the
screen a decade or more ago.
The plot has all the ingredients
for unrolling such a yarn, a cou-
pie of villairous men, a beauti-
full heroine, and hero. Before
the final curtain we find the hid
den gold presented to the rightful
owner and wedding bells in the
near future.
Pawn Shop" is the title of the
old-timer Chaplin opus. No doubt
the many admirers of Charlie will
find again a jolly half-hour in
the reissue but for those who have
never capitulated to his unique
charms, this may prove rather
a bore.
An adventure film trailing the
tiger to his native habitat and
incidentally showing other jungle
life, as photographed by Captain
Dyott, is an outstanding feature
of the program. Supplementlng
the bill are very poor animated
