MUM SHOW CROWD
RECORD FIRST DAY
Plant Bureau Pleased by
1872 Attendance-FIoristS
Plan Award.

In addition to the 334 guests from
official circles who attended the pre-
view ushering in the thirty fourth
annual chrysanthemum show of the
Agriculture Department there were
1872 who viewed the big Fall flower
show yesterday.
This broke the flrst-day record and
was especially pleasing to officials
OF the Bureau of Plant Industry, be-
cause they were forced to open the
show without any advance notice to
the public due to the recent warm
days which opened the blooms much
quicker than normally.
The big exhibition greenhouse at
Fourteenth street and Constitution
avenue was thronged with visitors
today. Teachers from more than 20
public schools and 3 academies had
notified those in charge that large
groups Of students would attend the
exhibition today and tomorrow.
Many Varieties Shown.
All the old standard varieties and
most of those plants originated by
the department specialists are at
tracing attention again this year.
A number of these have been adopted
by commercial growers and have been
popular on the market. Several score
of the best-known commercial grow
ers who have been invited by de-
partment officials are arranging to
have conferences early next week at
the show. They will advise with the
Government officials as to which of the
new NUNS" produced in the Govern
ment greenhouses they consider the
most promising for general cultiva-
ton.
The Washington Society of Florists
will make its annual inspection and
award next week. Certificates of merit
have been annually awarded to the
Agriculture Department mum" shows
for more than 10 years.
Distinguished Night Crowd.
Several cabinet members and their
wives, with guests and members Of
the diplomatic corps, are to be spe-
cial guests tonight between 1880 and
$3.50 o'clock.
Due to the unseasonably warm spell,
unless visitors get to the show during
the first few days they are likely to
miss seeing some of the most popular
of the old varieties, j. Wise Byrnes,
the superintendent of the exhibition,
warned today. However, he assured
the public there are hundreds of other
beautiful plants held in reserve, which
will be used to fresheh up the show
as the sun willis those first installed.

Dispute Over Use of Chevy Chase
Circle as Terminal Spurs
Talk of Competition.

With dissatisfaction over present
transportation conditions growing, talk
Of the organization of Montgomery
County transit company to improve

the county today. This renewed agita-
ton came with the announcement OF
the Capital Transit Co. that it would
not buy the bus tags demanded for Use
of the Maryland side of Chevy Chase
Circle, which has been taken over by
the company as a terminal.
Thousands of residents of the coun-
try club suburban area in nearby
Maryland, particularly those along
Wisconsin and Connecticut avenues,
long have felt that transportation con-
ditions were not commensurate with
the rapid growth of these areas, and
that Washington transit officials have

Residents of Chevy Chase, Md,
where the service has been cut to a
l5-minute headway since the street
car line was discontinued, had hoped
that the tag issue might result in the
company conforming to their wishes
and improving the service to Chew
Chase Lake. where the company has
available property for terminal.
The Citizens Committee of Section
2, Chevy Chase, last week Indignantly
denied the company permit to erect a
transfer shelter in the middle of Con-
necticut avenue. From other sources
have come complaints that the con-
slant parking of buses around the
circle has created a serious traffic haz-
ard on the north side and hides from
view the beautiful Newlands Memorial
Fountain erected several years ago il
the hope of making this entrance to
the city beauty spot.
The whole situation was to be dis

Widespread discussion of Corpora

advocate Communism was described
as "a tempest in teapot" yesterday
by Chairman Cannon of the House
subcommittee on appropriations.
Cannon, author of the amendment.
said it was not intended to prevent
the TEACHING of historical facts about
Communism. These facts, he de-
clared, should be taught. however, in
their regular place in history, civics
and philosophy courses, and not be
made a separate course of study.
Cannon's opinion is in agreement
with Prettyman's ruling public school
teachers may ontline facts Of Com
munism so long as they do not advo-
cate its cause.
Student Curiosity Stressed.
1t was pointed out by Cannon that
a child denied the knowledge of a
subject naturally has his curiosity
aroused and will get information
from unauthorized or unsupervised
sources. Such information, he said,
should be given in the schools where
it can be controlled.

Of schools, commencing the stand
taken by the Board of Education in
its Interpretation of the Cannon

There is SO much hocus pocus
logic, or might even say downright
intellectual dishonesty, upon this sub
ject," the former Senator said, "that
the time has come for some plain
speaking. The law has been sensibly
construed by your legal adviser and
you are fully justified in the position
you have taken"

BY the Associated Press.
Aubrey Williams, director of the
National Youth Administration, an
uounced yesterday that part-time jobs
would be provided $3.50 postgraduate
students during the coming year.
His statement coincided with pub
ncation of an executive order by
President Roosevelt fixing Sc as the

Increase of $219,830 Ask
ed-TotaI Requests of DC.
] Budget S54,971,351.

Presenting the argument that pro-
vision of supervised play areas will cut
down juvenile delinquency. Miss Sibyl
Baker, District playground supervisor.
has proposed 1887 budget totaling
s410,630, an increase of $2l9,830 over
current appropriations.
These and other department re-
quests are being studied by Maj.
Daniel j. Donovan, District budget
officer, in preparation for hearings for
division heads next week before the
Commissioners when all will be asked
for justification in requests.
The grand total of requests, includ-
ing trust fund items, runs to $54,971,-
351, an increase Of 1884 1856 over
the 1896 appropriations.
SI5O,OOO for Improvements.
The principal increase sought by
Miss Baker is $4,000 for general i'm
provements to existing play areas.
There was no such appropriation for
this year or last. She would use the
money for completion of the Sher-
wood, Hoover and Mcmillan play
grounds If work-relief projects for
those places are not approved. If
those plans do carry, she would use
the funds for work on other incom-
pleted grounds.
For repairs, maintenance and equip
ment of grounds, Miss Baker asks
$50,000, as compared with the 10000
sum granted for this year. The de-
partment seeks permission to operate
its entire force on a year round basis,
If need is shown. There now are pro-
visions for but part time employment
of a portion of the staff. In addition
to asking for full time work by her
staff, Miss Baker proposes 81 new
positions. These would include a
director Of colored activities, three
supervisory directors, six playground
directors and four assistant play
ground directors.
Playground Radius Limited.
Miss Baker told the Commissioners
there were 452 boys on probation
from Juvenile Court last March l, and
that IS per cent of them were residing
outside the effective radius of play
grounds. Opening of additional play
grounds should reach hundreds of ad-
ditional boys and cut down mischief,
she believes.
She asks an increase from $26,500
to $4,000 for operation of public
school Fairgrounds in Summer months,
declaring that this AZ per cent in
crease would result in IS per cent
increase in service.

At ten minutes of six o'clock, the program, under the sponsorship of the Apothecaries Hall Company, was on the air. The flashes was in every way compar- any of the major broadcasting sta tions.
 Transmitted over the eIetype through short wave by Interna- tional Morse Code, the time neces- sary to getting the news of the day to the public, is reduced to a minimum. The essentials in news presentation important events transmitted with accuracy and speed are fulfilled to the let ter.
 WATR, Waterbury's pioneer sta. tion has added one more impor- tant service to its listeners. The splendid cooperation of Water- bury's firmly established Apothe- carries Hall Company, has made the program possible to the people of the city and nearby sections. Waterbury has at it's service now a means of getting any news that is of importance to the rest of the country.
