Botanic Garden Is now constituted Is
frequently referred to as "the bug
house Of Washington"
Mr.. Ryerson was questioned by Sem
ator Barkley, Representative Keller
and Representative Beedy regarding
the present work Of the Department
Of Agriculture In the growing and
developing Of flowers and plants.
Cost Estimated.
Senator Barley asked Mr.. Ryerson
TO give an estimate of the cost of
building up botanic garden ON the
scale proposed by witnesses at the
hearing. Mr.. Ryerson said 1t would
cost between $4,000 900 and So, ,o0o, 900,
including the building up Of library
and herbarium. He said that with
what the Department of Agriculture
has In the matter Of such facilities
such a botanic garden as proposed
could be created at very much lower
cost.
Senator Barkley wanted to know to
what extent there has been co-opera-
ton In the past between the Botanic
Garden and the Department Of Agrt-
culture.
Practically none," replied Mr..
Ryerson.
Senator Barkley asked what the
department is doing about the dis
tribution of flowers at present.

Declares Information Available.
Representative Keller asked II there
was any reason why the library COM
mittees Of Congress could not have
access to the information and ad-
vantages In the Department Of AgTi-
culture. Mr.. Ryerson said they have
such access and have had it In the
past.
Representative Beedy Of Maine sug-
gested It was immeterial who directs
the Botanic Garden II 1t was built
into q real botanic garden, and that
II Congress determined to retain con-
troll of the garden it could use the
scientists Of the Department Of Agri-
culture.
Mr.. Ryersm replied that 1t was
difficult. II not impossible, to serve
two bosses.
Mr.. Beedy sought to bring out the
fact that the Department of Agricul-
ture would have to have greater ap-
tanic Garden. Mr.. Ryerson said that
If the present appropriation for the
Botanic Garden was turned over to
the department., as provided In the
Robinson bill, there would be no difn-
Guilty about the departments operat-
ing the garden. Other supporters of
the Robinson bill had earlier con-
tended that much more could be done
for the Botanic Garden under such
an arrangement.

The views of the Department Of

Near the close Of today's session, Q
sharp colloquy occurred between Pyle
and Chairman Barkley of the joint
committee, In which Pyle criticized the
amounts spent for salaries to operate
the Botanic Gardens.
Another highlight Of the hearing
was the assertion of Kelsey that the
present Botanic Garden Is nothing
more than a conservatory. He de-
clared that among his associates the

"It might be pointed out that since

GLANDS BLAMED
IN TENDENCY
To CRIME

CLEVELAND, June IL 0.NSO.
A definite relationship between
the functions of endocrine glands
and a trend toward criminal &C
tivity was cited here today by Dr..
Allan w. Rowe, Of Boston, whose
report startled the American
Medical Association in convention
here.
DR.. Rowe declared that Of 100
women inmates of the Framing
ham CMass.) Reformatory. IT had
improperly working endocrine
glands.
He asserted that telltale marks
made by the glands in the bones,
the body contour and the eyes
appear overwhelmingly among
women who commit crimes.
Seen in Children
DR.. Rowe said the value Of the
discovery was that it might lead
to establishing a method Of dis
covering criminal tendencies be-
fore the individual adopts a pre-
datory life. Sometimes, he said,
the peculiar marks are descernlbie
in children at a time when their
effects may be combated. .
The entire afternoon general
session was to be devoted to re-
ports on studies of amoebic dys-
entary. Meanwhile, the aSsocla-
tons house of delegates sought to
formulate the professions policy
toward new social trends.
The Michigan State Medical
Society, through DR.. Morris Fish
bein, led the attack against State
health insurance urging the dele
gates to work toward averting
"the disastrous consequences that
attended the adoption of health
insurance in England"
DepIOres Free Hospitals
DR.. Edward H. Cary, of Dallas,
Tex, heading the council on legis-
lation, offered resolution deplor-
ing the new law providing free
hospital care for war veterans
without regard to whether their
illnesses were service cnnected and
merely on their statements Of in
ability to pay.
Exploitation Of the public
through radio advertising of
patent medicines" was charged
by DR.. c. s. Skaggs, Of East St.
Louis, III. He asserted that "for
months the radio companies have
permitted the exploitation Of
drugs, patent medicines and So
called cures, many of which are
dangerous in the hands of laymen
or of doubtful value"
He offered a resolution calling
upon the Federal Radio Commits

SPOTTEDFEVER
PERIL SLIGHT

Although it would seem, from
the number of bites, that few
wood ticks are infected with
spotted fever, all ticks neverthe-
less should be considered danger
Gus, in the opinion of DR.. A. B.
Hooton, health officer of Prince
Georges county.
Because of Prince Georges rural
character there are many of its
10000 inhabitants bitten by ticks
each year, from which no i'll ef-
fects are felt. The one case Of
spotted fever uncovered last week,
however. caused more comment
than dozens of cases of more dan
gerous diseases, he said.
Ticks often crawl over their
"hosts," as DR.. Hooton worded it,
for some time before attaching
themselves and biting. Their bite
is painless. It is well, added the
doctor, for persons to inspect
themselves for ticks after walking
in woods or near hedges, where
ticks thrive.
DR.. Hooton, in his May report,
again pointed out the need of an
assistant to investigate sanitary
nuiSa6ces. He added that the
measles epidemic is only now dy-
ing out, with new cases still ap-
pearing.

by John West Waters
It's your last call. Poor bluffer"
Won't you make up your mind,
To hire with some farmer,
And do II in time. 7,
The relief has kept you
Through thick and thin,
And the way you lied TO them.
Was really q sin.
Some said they we're married,
And they knew II wasn't true,
But they went home together,
And lived as man and wife do.
Some said they had sickness,
And they knew that was false.
But they found that would help them
So they put that across.
Now they have bursted the treasury,
And that is a shame.
They are turned out with the COM
mons,
With a long list Of names.
Now people of Kent County.
Let me tell you what to do.
Grow yourself some vegetables
And other things too.
Mrs. Hughes was a good woman, :
Who tried to do her best,
While people sponged upon her.
And Off-times broke her rest.
