so THAT'S HOW IT WAS

6ROOMMAKING was one of the chores
of the Colonial housewife 1t was one
of the first crafts to be picked up from
the Indians. The Splinter broom"
the type most frequently used, was
made of tough splints that were bound
with stout flax thread to the end of
long stick of birch or ash. Small brooms
for cleaning out the crude baking
ovens were made of corn husks.
In 1898 Levi Dickinson expert
mented with broom corn on his farm in
Hadley, Massachusetts,. His first tiny
crop yielded enough to make twenty
brooms of type far superior to the
splinter brooms. The next year he
planted enough to furnish material for
two hundred brooms. These he ped
died with such success that his neigh
bors joined him in the raising of broom
corn. BY 1910 the people Of this vicin-
ity were producing 10000 brooms an
nually However, the settling of the
Midwest brought ruinous competition
for these New Englanders. The farm
ers of the prairie region found they
could raise stronger and better broom
corn, and soon monopolized this raw
material industry.

hNITTING, one of the most popular
of modern feminine hobbies, was an
inescapable drudgery in the lives OF
early American women. To keep the
entire family in stockings. mittens,
lundervests and what not meant an
everlasting chore. Little girls were
taught to knit as soon as their tiny
hands could hold the needles, and it
was not unusual for child of four to
knit stockings To help keep the
family's wardrobe supplied boys were
sometimes taught to knit their own
suspenders, mlttens and muffiers. The
"cllck- click" OF the needles was an
ever present household sound.
Other articles that busy fingers
created were bags to match wedding
gowns, purses and money bags to pre-
sent to the husband or sultor and
colorful watch chains that were gen.
orally yard long and about one-half
an inch wide Machine-knit stocking
legs appeared in the stores during the
first half of the 1905. These were
sent out for "toeing" and "heeling" to
farm women who were anxious to
make little extra money or who
would accept goods in exchange for
their work.

THIS WEEK MAGAZINE
GAS!
Continued from pose six

because Uncle Sam wanted to turn
them into charcoal for use in gas
masks. Dense raw materials make the
best charcoal for the purpose, with
cocont shells rated as the very best
and fruit pits second best. For years
our war department has listed coconut
shells as one of the critical war ma
terials In recent years, however,
acceptable substitutes have been de-
veloped
AS matter of fact our government,
like those of foreign powers, has never
relaxed since the World War in the
constant race to keep gas masks up to
the possibilities of chemical warfare.
In recent years, under authorization OF
Congress, the War Department has let
out several educational contracts
for the manufacture of gas masks to
peacetime industries that might, in
case of war, be called upon to turn
them out in huge quantities - as they
did in 1918. Indeed. it was one of the
big tire-manufacturing companies that
did much to bring the gas mask to its
present state of perfection.
Modern masks are so made that the
canisters containing the vital purify
ing elements may be replaced when
they have lost their effectiveness.
Just how long the protection lasts
depends on how much canister
is used. and against what types and
concentrations of gases; but experts
say that even with much use canister
should be effective for several months.
And the mask itself, of course. with
proper care, will last for years.
So in many a war-clouded European
city. people like my friend Hodgett
see to it that their masks do get proper
care. To modern soldier, as an officer
in the War Department in Washington
put it to me recently, the gas mask is
las much part of his equipment as
his Shoes And l wouldn't be sur
prised if Hodgett and many a non
combatant like him over there would
give up their shoes much more will
ingly than they would their gas masks.
After all, a man can go barefoot and
yet live.

Rather than barring them from

Welfare Head Is Told
To Report on School
Lunch Extension Plan
D. 6. Heads Withhold
Approval Of Project
Pending Cost Survey

Robert E. Bondy, director of pub
lie welfare, was directed yesterday
by the Commissioners to make a
study and report on the need and
cost of the proposed provision of
free lunches to pupils of the Junior,
senior and vocational schools, as rec
commended few days ago by the
Board of Education.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
said the Board of Commissioners
would withhold action on the school
board plan until the welfare direc-
tor could ascertain the extent of
the need and the cost to the city
in the form of sponsors contribu-
ton. Mr.. Bondy has been asked to
consult with Auditor Daniel j. Dom
ovan, the Districts budget officer,
on the fiscal phases of the study.
The District now is providing free
lunches to needy pupils of the ele-
mentary grades, as a w. P. A. prof.
ect. The cost this year is estimated
at $84,l47 to the District, which
comes out of fund of $189, 500 con-
tanned in the appropriation act as
the Districts contribution toward
all the municipal w. P. A. projects.
While school officials have re-
ported the District could receive ad-
ditional surplus commodities from
the Federal Government for use in
the expanded program, the District
would have some considerable in
crease in sponsors funds, some off,

U. 5. A||ots $4,000
To Widen Ridge Road
In Front Of Cemetery
County Is Expected
To Fix Rest Of Route
To Columbia Pike

A total of $25, 1000 has been allo-
Gated by the Federal Government to
widen and repair Arlington Ridge
road in front of Arlington National
Cemetery, the Office of Representa-
tive Smith, Democrat, of Virginia
was notified yesterday.
The office was told the War De-
partment will spend $1,000 on the
project and $4,000 will be supplied
by the Works Progress Administra-
ton. The portion of the road to be
improved is understood to extend
from Lee boulevard to the south
east corner of the cemetery, which
is within two blocks of Columbia
pike.
Several weeks ago County Man.
ager Frank c. Hanrahan of Arling-
ton was in conference with Repre-
sentative Smith and officials of Fort
Myer concerning the proposed i'm
provement The highway is barely
two lanes wide. Commercial traffic,
prohibited from using Lee boulevard
and the Lincoln Memorial Bridge,
is routed over the narrow road.
1t is believed the greatest benefits
to the county will be noted by resi-
dents along Columbia pike, many
of whom use Arlington Ridge road
to reach the Arlington Memorial
Bridge. In the past year, hundreds
of new families have moved to the
Columbia pike area and in one prof.
ect alone-Arlington Village-more
than 900 families moved in.
A county Official when told of the
S25,000 award last night, said that
the county will undoubtedly improve
Arlington Ridge road to Columbia
pike, in keeping with the Federal
project. There are no funds in the
present county budget for it, but it is
expected the county will be able to
make the improvement by the time
Federal officials will have complied
the project, it was stated.

Grange Urges F. {. A.

PEORIA, Ill, Nov. 18-The Ma

tion today favoring establishment
of the Farm Credit Administration
as an independent agency, operat-
ing under the supervision of a BIZ
partisan board appointed for stag
gered terms of office
The Farm Credit Administration
was transferred to the Department
of Agriculture in the recent gov
ernmental reorganization and some
members of the Grange expressed
apprehension that changes un-
favorable to farmers needing credit
facilities might be made in the near
future.
In the resolution, adopted unani-
mously, the Grange proposed that
the Farm Credit Administration
as an independent agency would
have supervision of the Federal
farm loan system, the production
credit system, the banks for CO.
operatives, the intermediate credit
system and the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corp.
Continuation of the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corp. beyond January
81, 1910, the date its power to make
loans expires, was urged in the
resolution.
In another resolution the Grange
proposed levying excise taxes on all
