Put Sash on Frame
I Weeks in Advance

If you are planning on using a
cold-frame TO start plants in this
year. be sure TO put on the sash
two weeks before you intend 10
SOW seeds so that soil in the frame
will get thoroughly warm.
1t is possible to divide the
frame itself with partitions OF
wood so that one part may be
kept warmer than another: that is
the sash kept down one side
raised on the other.

USE RESTRICTED
Victory garden plant food can
not be used on lawns and land
scape paintings.
Its legal use is restricted TO
gardens which are made chiefly
for the production of vegetables.
Four pounds of plant food for
each 100 square feet of victory
garden space should be sufficient
for feeding all season.
OF this amount, two-thirds may
be applied when the soil is first
prepared and the remaining third
reserved for use after the vege-
tables have begun to make vigor-
Gus growth.
FOR BEST RESULTS
These simple directions will
make plant food produce the best
results:

Darker Duys

From the London (Ensland) Daily Express:
This year many branches of American
and British war industries will reach
their production peak. Our preparations
have come to the final proof. This is
the year when the resources Of spirit as
we'll as OF war plants on both sides will
be tested to conclusion. We do not
fear the ordeal We know that threat
powerful enough to shake our spirit must
be heavier than that OF Dunkerque or
the battle Of Britain. The danger that
will rock Russia must be graver than that
which the Germans brought to the gates
Of Moscow and Stalingrad Yet in the
year Of offensive there will be new trials
such as Britain and America at least,
have not met in the years of reverse
There will be vast battles as the Allied
armies massed on the outskirts of Hit
ler's Europe are sent on their final tasks
OF assault. There will be heavier casual
ties than We have yet endured There
will be need to stand fast when the at
tack is sustained not by the will OF
ferocious enemy. but By our own wills.

Chinese New Year

During the past several DAYS
Chinese residents Of Washington,
In common with all other Chinese
people In the world, have been cele-
bratlng the advent Of the year 4640
as reckoned in the ancient lunar
calendar Of the Emperor Huang Lin
Ceremonies appropriate to the occa-
sion were arranged we'll in advance
The traditional parties and parades,
exchange Of gifts and compliments,
display Of friendship and good will
are TO continue for at least another
week. Something more than Gus
tonary jubilatiOn, however, is repre-
sented in the program of observance.
A spirit very old, yet very new, finds
expression in the manner in which
the inherited forms of procedure are
being conducted
China, it should be remarked by
way of explanation, was a land Of
scientists long before Europe and
America were Inhabited by civilized

Cathay were scholars and philoso-

latlOnS based on the progression Of
the moon and certain stars continued

A POTENTIAL MINISTRY
BY the Right Req. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop of WASHINGTON.

Among the forces that contribute to
an orderly and kindly way OF life the
Quakers, or Friends as they are some
times called, occupy a CONSPICUOUS place
Not large In numbers they are potential
force In every place where Christ-nke
ministry is exercised. Peaceful ways are
ever their quest, but in time Of war their
ministry to the afflicted to those who
share the stern hardships of prison
camps, know neither friend nor enemy.
They frequently go where others are
denied. They are known for their wis
dom and their deeds Of kindly service
They fulfill the demands of Christ where
He said: "1nasmuch as We did it unto
the least OF these, We did it unto Me"
No one can challenge their motives, few
approximate their self sacrificing service.
In recent pronouncement the Re
ligious Society OF Friends Of Phila-
delphia" put forth this suggestive state
ment: Eve Friends, members of a small
group. who for nearly 800 years have
held to the conviction that war cannot
be the true way of righting wrongs, find
ourselves compelled by conscience to ad-
here to that conviction, even in this war
which is being waged against evils to
which we are Fundamentally opposed
But we are not blind or Indifferent to
the great moral issues at stake. We de-
sire earnestly to serve our country and
the cause Of humanity. We would join
with you in dedicating ourselves to see to
it that, in this our beloved country, re-
spect for the individual of whatever class
or race shall be preserved: that demo-
cratic liberties shall be maintained: that
the spirit of brotherhood and service to
human need shall not yield place to the
spirit Of hatred and revenge: that the
Christian way Of life shall survive even
under the pressure OF war; and that the

AWeIcome Reconsideration

The War Production Boards re-
consideration of its decision hating
work on District recreation areas is
most welcome, even though it means
that ten out Of twenty four projects
are definitely out of the picture until
the war is over.
Decision to resume work on four
teen Of the areas was based on the
factual consideration that Washing
tons greatly enlarged population
actually has fewer recreational IA
cilities than were available before
war expansion set in. At that time
they were by no means adequate.
But the War Production Board evil
IDENTIFY was impressed by the numbers
of new developments, such as hous-
ing, schools and dormitories, that will
be lacking any play space for adults
or children. The projects to be COM
pleted will require, for the most part,
manpower and machinery already
available and not needed immedi-
ately for other work. No critical
materials will be used.
Location of the fourteen new prof.
ects selected for completion is an in
teresting illustration of the shift in
new population now taking place.
Over half of the new areas to be
developed are in East Washington;
only three are in Northwest Wash
ington. Most Of the old areas taken
over by the Government and now
being replaced, were in West Wash

Noble words these, words sustained by

Here is minority, small minority, that

IN this terrible strife a cause that COM

Christ spoke of such as the salt of the
earth" representing a comparatively
small but potential element that pre-
serves from corruption large bodies of
people. This is true today. There are
silent, modest, but singularly efficient
groups that stand for strong, fine con-
victions and they are indispensable to our
security and to the preservation of
Christian and truly democratic ideals
There may be wide differences in matters
OF form and administration, but, these
should not and must not affect admira-
ton Of those who make their large and
substantial contribution to the common

The world situation is broadening our
understanding Of and sympathy for

Shall We not believe it is compelling us
to recognize the ties that make US. de-
spite all our differences. a united people?
To keep bearing the torches of
Christian idealism, to light the way into
new and better peace this is a chal-
longing call and a sacred obligation. If
the quiet, unobtrusive work of the
Quakers is one to be admired, their fine
spirit is one to be emulated. 1t may be
that from obscure places new and high
minded forces are to come, that will give
freshened impulse to world that has
grown sluggish and careless in standing

calling 1t ring, man-to-m man combat

hazardous, but then SO is Wall Street.
Many a man who trades lunches on

Yet war seems to have added an
extra hazard to the ring An Ameri-
can boxer with the expeditionary

native champion. The fight was
fierce, the native being knocked
down eleven times, but in the sixth
round the American won. 1t then
developed that the bout had not been
solely for glory, but was a genuine
prize fight, the prize being a wife,
the daughter of the neighborhood
chief. 1t is reported that Mike
Jacobs, upon hearing of this. freely
admitted that for years he had, in
spite Of his Well-known astuteness,
been overlooking bet by carelessly
paying out fifty thousand dollars or
more in prizes when all he needed to
do was to round up wife for the
winner.
