District plan given by Col. Dravo
was:
Members of the cadets in the
high schools will be asked to act
as guides about the school buildings
and assist generally on registration
day.
May Require Two Days.
There may be two registration
days, depending largely on whether
Congress sets the age limits at 81
and A, or at 81 to 81. The more
to be registered, the more likely
two days will be designated, since
the schools will hold only so many
and only a certain number are avail
able as registrars, who will mostly
be school teachers.
1t will take an average of about
20 minutes for a person to register.
At this rate it will take 100 regis
trars to register 5000 men. With
the lesser age limit, it is expected
that some. $1,000 Washingtonians
will register, while with the greater
the figure will be about 10000.
If person required to register
is out of the city on registration
day, he should 60 to the nearest
registration center he can find, sign
up there and instruct them to send
his card to Washington. The per-
son also should write a letter to
local officials that same day in.
forming them Of the course he has
followed.

son Let's in Criminal Court No. /

force about is years, and Stabler

ments were returned by the grand

BALTIMORE, Sept. 10.-Speaker
William B. Bankhead will keynote
the Democratic rally tonight at the

the introduction to the Nation of a
new party campaign song.
In formal statement, Mr.. Fallon
denied reports of dissension between
group headed by Baltimore's
Mayor jackson and William Curran,
city party leader.
"As an evidence of purpose of all
the leaders to get the campaign
started with vigor and enthusiasm, -
he said, there was immediate and
vigorous protest that whatever dif-
ferences had existed prior to the
organization of the Roosevelt
Wallace Campaign Committee have
been subordinated to the interest of
success in the presidential contest" !"

Tentative Draft Plan
For D. T.. Discussed
By Commissioners
Congress Action Awaited; ;
Legion Commanders
Told of Registration

The tentative plan for setting up
draft machinery in the District for
use as soon as Congress takes final
action on the urke-Wadsworth bill
was considered today by the Com
missioners in their board session.
Final action was deferred so the
Commissioners might become thor
oughly familiar with all of the pro-
posed arrangements, but their adop-
ton of such program was regarded
as certain, possibly with some minor
changes in the detailed setup.
The program calls for the crea-
ton of 10 local draft board areas,
with local board for each one, and
with a medical advisory board and
an advisory board for registrants
also to serve under a selective Serv-
ice executive officer, who probably
will be Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox,
commanding officer of the District
National Guard.
AS the plan now stands 38 schools
would be designated as places of
registration, but these schools, as
well as the possible number of
Washington residents, who would be
required to register and who might
be called into service would depend
upon the terms of the draft bill as
Congress acts upon the differences
of the Senate and House versions.
Col. bravo Explains Plan.
A number of questions raised in
the minds of prospective registrants
were answered by Col. c. A. Dravo,
adjutant general of the District Ma
tional Guard, last night in a talk to
commanders of local American Le-
gion posts assembled in the Guard
Armory. Col. Dravo was one of
those who drew the plan for regis
tration in the District.
Col Dravo said that the Local
boards will pass on the merits OF
conscientious objectors and others
seeking to avoid military service
On another point of possible ex-
emption from the registration, the
speaker emphasized that enrolment
in college does not exempt the
student. II
To Survey AID Possibilities.
The Legion commanders this week
will make survey on the number
that can help with the registration
1t. Comdr. W. A. Corley, U. S. N.
retired, chairman of the Selective
Service Committee of the District
Legion, said that one of the main
places where Legionnaires may be
called on to help is in the filling
out of questionnaires by the regis
trants.
Col. bravo said these question.
naires, expected to be about eight
pages long, ask about everything
from "the color of your hair to the
number of corns on your feet"
1t was at first thought that every
registrant would have to fill out the
QUESTIONABLE, but it is now prob
able that only those who will be
called to duty in the first group
will have to fill out the question:
naire Immediately, Col. Dravo said.

ent upon the growth to be made

BY removing the foliage the strength
and vigor are thereby reduced.
Have you tried growing tree form
nasturtiums? There was one on
display at the New York Flower
Show. 1t was growing in a large
wooden tub and made quite a show
ing. They are not difficult to grow.
Plant the ordinary runner-type mas.
turtium and use tree branch with
numerous twigs. If the twigs are
removed for 2 feet or so and the
remaining one trimmed into a SYM
metrical form the necessary support
will be provided. This branch Is
then placed beside the plant which
is to be trained into a tree form.
The runner is tied to the stake as
it grows, and when it has reached
the twigs it may be trained in and
around them.
The hybridizers have done much
to improve the mock orange (Phila-
delphus), and today the better varie-

Garden
By F. F. Rock1DeU. Ne1p York.
Macmillan Company. -

~'A~S"tstkbf1 SoptH0t6s
If the amateur gardener could
have but one book, perhaps he could
not make a better choice than Mr..
Rockwell's Around the Year in the
Garden" Mr.. Rockwell is known to
many Of you as garden editor of the
New York Times as well as author
of a number Of other garden books.
The book under present discussion
is the seventh revised edition issued
in November, 1899.
The author has divided his book
into 50 chapters-one for each week
of the year. You armchair garden
ers will have to bestir yourselves to
keep up with Mr.. Rockwell's plans
for you. If you follow his advice
carefully, however, you will find bet
ter ways of doing many of the Oft
recurring tasks with suggestions to
to tools and material.
Vegetable growers as well as
flower growers will find this book Of
interest. There are suggestions as
to the better seeds to grow; good
selection of bush and tree fruits for
q small place with the quantity re-
quired as well as q number of ex-
cellent planting tables giving time,
quantity of seed, and depth and
distance apart of planting.
There are pointers on planting,
labels, tools, mulching, spraying. the
building of pools and greenhouses
and on numerous other matters of
rea! concern to q gardener.
