NEIGHBORHOOD
GARDEN CLUB

Mrs. William Davis entertained
the Neighborhood Garden Club last
Wednesday with Mrs. Herman Will
son, Mrs. William Griffith and Mrs.
Lawrence j. Darby, assisting hos
besses.
The business session conducted
by the president, Mrs. Clyde
Thomas followed the usual lunch
con, the following nominating COM
mittee being named to submit a
slate of. officers at the October
meeting: Mrs. Clay Plummer, Mrs.
Clarence Becraft and Mrs. Norman
Belt.
Mrs. Emmett Dove, of Rockville,
talked on Putting the Garden to
Sleep" her opening remark being
an appropriate quotation from j..
Horace Mcfarland in the Sept.
issue of the "Flower Grower. "He
or even she would, regardless of
sex, be a poor stick of gardener,
if there wasn't always the vista of
next year and other years to look
forward to, to worry about, and to
prepare for"
A conscientious gardener, accord
ing to Mrs. Dove, places as much
emphasis upon fall gardening tasks
as ON those of the spring season
as much of next years success de-
pends on the preparation made at
this season.
The meeting, which was well at
tended, was followed by visit to
Mrs. Davis beautiful rose garden.

AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS
BURTONSVILLE

Mrs. VIM. Graybill was hostess
to the Burtonsville Club on Sep
tember 20. Mrs. E. w. Haviland
had the best canning record. She
has over 700 quarts of fruits and
vegetables she has canned for her
self, and 300 jars she has helped
can for other people. This club
had a record of about 5000 jars
reported by the II club members,
in answer to roll call. The presi-
dent of the club, Mrs. Wilbur
NARROW, appointed two chairmen
to organize two home nursing units
under the plan presented by the
Red Cross County Nutrition Chair
man, Mrs. Pennington.
ROCKVILLE
The Rockville Club met on Sep
tember 16, and heard with regret
the resignation of two members,
Mrs. Edwin Mullen, clothing
chairman and Mrs. Oscar Fraley.
Mrs. Mullen is leaving shortly for
st. Louis, Missouri, and Mrs. Fra
ley, for the Panama area. These
two ladies, with Mrs. Robert
Ginesi, acted as hostesses. The
meeting was held in the Home
Demonstration office. Everyone re-
marked upon the help it is to have
kitchen unit available when
meetings are held in the office.
Mrs. Walter Pack, agricultural
chairman, gave most interesting
paper. Mrs. Savage, president of
the club, asked the members for
suggestions on types of demonstra-
tions and helps they felt should be
included in the 1914 program. 1t
was interesting to note that club
members not only expressed inter
ct in learning certain skills but
they wanted some talks on post
war planning and world affairs.
This seems to be request COM
ing from several clubs.
WHEATON
The Wheaton Homemaker Club
met with a charter member, Mrs.
Alma Smith, on September 16.
One of the features of the meet
ing was a display of dresses by
Mrs. Smiths daughter, Betty, a
former All club girl of several
years ago. The suit made from
a mans suit was particularly well
tailored, and a soft pink wool
street dress reflected the highest
workmanship and style. Miss
Frances Wolfe, President of the
club, presided and was pleased
with the response of the club men,
bers to her request for sugges-
tions and ideas that might be in
cluded in the 1914 program of
work.

Admiral Standley Disguised

Admiral William H. Standley is reported
to have found his position as ambassador to
Russia so untenable that he has submitted
his resignation to President Roosevelt in wig
orous terms" He had intended to retire in
September, according to the report, but has
advanced the time as a result Of the arrival
at Moscow of Joseph E. Davies with Mr..
Roosevelt's message to Joseph Stain, which
was delivered directly into Stalin's hands in
stead of through the embassy.
This act of ignoring the country's diplo-
matte envoy is not what doctors call a pre-
dsposng cause but rather an effect. 1t is
understood that Admiral Standley has been
out of harmony with the policy both OF the
Moscow government and of Washington, on
the one hand because Stain failed to take
the Russian people into his confidence con-
cerning lend-lease aid from this country until
pressure was applied and on the other be-
cause Washngtons failure to conduct its Of
ficial business with the Russian government
through the embassy has rendered his POSI-
ton useless and futile. He is reported to
have become further disgruntled by the TACT
that he has been ignored also by lend-lease
officials and other special ENJOYS and be-
cause military and naval aides in Russia
have made practice of reporting directly
to their departments instead OF through the
embassy.
If what he is understood to contend proves
true the attitude he has taken is under
standable. One might ask, if the government
at Washington continues to maintain contact
with the Moscow government through special
agents. what is the use of an embassy at all?
There is no word indicating that Admiral
Standleys resignation has been accepted. Il
II should be, however, this old sea dog is
too valuable to his country to be retired to
private life.

Attu Victory Important

The American victory on Attu is finally
complete. AS the japanese can no longer
reach Kiska with reinforcements or supplies,
save as an occasional submarine might sue
ceed in piercing our lines with what small aid
it might carry, it is reasonable to believe
that another American victory is in store,
md that all japanese in the Aleutians will
shortly be exterminated.
But the chief advantage of the Attu success
seems to be the opportunity its possession
will afford for bombing flights over Japan.
Attu may become an actual Shangri-la, moi
sort of NEUROLOGICAL one as happened when
Doolittles bombers took off from a plane
carrier.
If the loss of Attu had not been of great
Importance in the view of japanese war lead
ers in Tokyo they would not have made sc
much of it in broadcasting the news to tht
Japanese or exaggerated the number OF Amer
leans there engaged and the heroism OF thei'
men in its defense.

Greater Naval Strength

Berlin's announcement that the interned
French fleet at Alexandria has been surren-
dered to the Allied Nations will materially
improve Allied naval strength in the Medi-
terranean. At the same time it practically
places Frances Navy beyond Hitlers grasp
IN toto, for the ships scuttled at Toulon, al
though in waters controlled by the Germans
cannot be restored to usefulness in time to
aid the Axis, and the ships at Martinique,
which Admiral Roberts has refused to turn
over, could not by any chance get away to
join the Nazi fleet
Two battleships, two cruisers, destroyer
and miscellaneous group Of submarines and
auxiliaries, thus coming under Allied COM
mand, if the Berlin report proves correct, will
give Admiral Cunningham new and valuable
weapons with which to make the Mediter-
ranean safer for Allied transport when, if
and as an invasion of southern Europe is
undertaken.
This additional advantage for the Allies is
doubly important. 1t not only adds striking
power in the Mediterranean, but proves the
will Of the Vichy government, so completely
dominated by Hitler, is breaking and the will
of patriotic Frenchmen growing stronger. A
few more moves of equal significance, and
Pierre Laval himself may be trying to get
in out of the rain.

and always-the Legion remains a virile or
ganization. There will be no need for the
veterans OF the present global war to set up
another. In fact the Legion has already OPEN
ed its rosters to soldiers returning from COM
bat zones who through physical disability or
other good cause have been honorably dis
charged,
When this war is ended, American veterans
will find the hand of fellowship extended to
them by Legionnaires, and enjoy great ad-
vantage over the men who had to start from
scratch in organizing the parent group after
the last war The American Legion has in
vested millions of dollars in useful proper
ties, has engineered helpful state and nation
al legislation, and is functioning in a pro-
gram which cannot be topped in merit. Amer
icanism in its broad ramifications cannot be
beat
There will be no pioneering necessary by
the men who come home from this. war.
