Just how much of celebration there
will be next Saturday, in commemoration
of the sesquicentennial of the laying of
the cornerstone of the United States
Capitol, is question that cannot be an
swered with any degree of castainty at
this time. Naturally, the war conditions
will have quite a bearing on the matter,
and whatever is done will likely be of a
simple and limited nature. However,
the spirit and devotion will be there,
whether the occasion is celebrated in a
big way, or passes by quietly
Indeed, when the first cornerstone of
this famous structure was laid on the
morning of September 18, 1893, except
for the part taken by the Masonic fra
ternity, there was little to record of the
event. But, naturally, washington was
then but a struggling settlement, and
only city on paper, and the country
itself new republic, just emerging from
long war, with population of around
100000 people, and with not enough
money to pay for its own public buildings.
But whatever lacking of finance there
might have been, and how small the
occasion, the ardor and enthusiasm dis
played at the time could hardly be ex-
ceeded even now by a much larger as
semblage, and manifestly mean to the
people not near as much.
Today, after lapse of $50 years,
Washington has grown to be a great
metropolis, but it was not always so, and
IL t0ok oil these wears to heronoc tho
beautiful city it is and the glorious Cap
ital of the land of the brave and the
home of the Free and the light of the
world.
Washington in 1873 #au
Naturally, the city cannot be repro
duced as it was in 1893, nor can we even
adequately hark back to it's appearance
as described by Thomas Moore, the poet,
In 1904, when he wrote:
This embryo Capital, ,ohere fancy

Relief food must be spoilage-proof.
There's little tin to ship it in. Glass

quickly nourishing.
SO what are the answers?
Most of these foods come in powder or
brick form. Several can be made into
more than one kind of dish.

Russian Recapture
Of Farm|ands May
Ease Food Problem
Soviets Seeding Crops
In Don, Kubun Areas;
Better Harvest Seen
BY EDDY GILMORE.

Associated Press War Correspondent.
MOSCOW.-Russia urgently
seeking to reclaim recently recap
tured agricultural lands. expects a
better harvest this year than in
1912 and, while food still remains
serious problem, it appears that
none will be likely to starve.
Russia, unlike her German enemy,
has no occupied territories from
which to draw food supplies and
must rely solely upon herself and
lease-lend shipments from the
United States, which are tiny COM
pared with the size of the problem.
Also, it must be met while the re-
Gently industrialized country bends
its back and speeds up every ma
chine to produce the weapons Of
war.
Last winter was one of the hard
est in Soviet history. and. the gov
ernment is doing everything it can
to see that conditions are better
when the cold strikes again. But it
is no easy task to feed its huge
army, its industrial workers and still
maintain civilian supplies.
Lost Many Grain Areas.
Last summer and autumn the
Russians lost many of their valu-
able grain areas, especially in the
Don and Kuban regions. This year
they have been regained and are
being planted with assurance that
the invaders will not be returning.
AS the Nazis rushed forward last
summer the Russians harvested
some of these crops, but naturally
were forced to leave important
quantities to be trampled by men
and machines, to be burned, or to
be appropriated by the enemy.
However, the Kuban and Don
areas. as we'll as the famous "black
earthed" Voronezh sector, should
give a good yield this year, despite
late planting.
Has ManpOwer Problem.
Vast new areas for grain produc-
ton also have been opened up in
Siberia, but this is not the sort of
thing which can be expected to yield
dividends within year or two.
Like Britain and the United
States, Russia has her manpower
problem, too. Thousands of men
from collective farms have gone to
the army. Those who remain, like
their counterparts in America, also
face a machinery shortage, for the
factories which formerly turned out
tractors are now devoted to tanks.
Thousands of the men from the
recaptured areas are missing this
year, too, having been taken into
German territories by their captors,
along with all the worthwhile ma
chinery the Germans found. And
everything possible has been done
to hinder salvage of the land. All
of this is merely added injury, too.

remains in German hands,

There are about SO kinds Of deer
in the world, and the facts about
their horns, or antlers, differ some
what. In most cases the males have
antlers which grow out each year
but which are lost before the start
of the following year.
The male, often called a "stag,"
has solid antlers. The horns Of such
animals as cattle and buffaloes are
hollow.
Usually, the antlers of a stag keep

the years 60 by. In the first year
it has horns, the stag can boast
of only one point on each one, the
second year two points. the third
