One fact we'll established
about plant growth Is that plants

Plant These Crops Now

Whether your Victory garden

there are some vegetables which
can be planted this fall. How

sown this fall to advantage.

usually Is held over until spring

then, old-timer gardeners used
to SOW 1t in the fall and reap
early lettuce from these early
seedlings.
The ground must be prepared
carefully for fall sowing. 1t Is
good thing to spade or plow the
whole garden, turning under any
COMPOST or manure which Is OH

preparation will make spring

Spinach should be sown late,

For Virginia Schools
10 Stress Health
New Instruction Plan
Seeks to Stimulate

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Feb. GA revised
course OF study for elementary
schools, designed to stress devel-
opment Of physical fitness, health
and proper nutrition, soon will be
ready for distribution to Virginia
school authorities.
The new course was completed
after Is months work by a number
Of educational experts and was ap-
proved by the State Board OF Edu-
cation.
Dabney s. Lancaster, State super
intendent of public instruction, said
that mastery Of the basic subjects"
reading, writing and arithmetic
had been stressed In the revised
program.
The new plan has been devised so
that students interest will be stim-
ulated and they will be anxious to
master the subjects, he said.
The revised course frowns on
"Httler-type education" Mr. Lam
caster declared, adding that, instead,
the idea is to do what all good
teachers have always done-arouse
the pupils interest so that he will
want to learn"
The elementary course Of study
last was revised in 1886. The Gus
tom has been to revise it every five
or ten years. 1t covers grades l
through 7, and the plan was COM

To Start Soon
Building to Begin in
Two Weeks; Will Be
Ready by September

Construction of Alexandria Hos
pital's new 75-bed wing will be
started within the next 10 days or
two weeks under q building schedule
designed to have it ready for occu-
pancy by September l. Robert G..
Whitton, hospital administrator
announced today.
Final approval Of the project was
reported by the War Production
Board yesterday. reversing q former
decision based on q belief that the
addition was not seriously enough
needed to warrant diverting criti-
cal war materials to its construc-
ton.
Also scheduled for occupancy BY
September is the old st. Maryis
Academy Building. to be used as a
nurses training school. and an 80
bed nurses home. This structure
stands on land adjacent to the hos
pital which was acquired at the time
the expansion program was PLAN
ned.
To Cost 100000.
The new wing and the renovated
academy building Is estimated to
involve an expenditure of $500, 900.
Included In this sum Is the 500 900
purchase price of the academy prop
erty.
We're all set to co." Mr.. Whitton
said yesterday when notified Of the
WPB's approval.
Already on hand are 100 tons Of
reinforcing bars contributed for
hospital expansion by the city of
Alexandria. Excavation work on
the foundation is expected to require
three to four weeks, after which
actual construction details will get
under way.
The new wing will be to the rear,
or on the north side, Of the main
building. Original plans called for
another wing on the east. but this
was rejected by the WPB, q move
explained by its hospital consult
ants to conserve $4,000 worth Of
critical war materials.
Increases Capacity to 1T Beds.
The additional IS beds will in
crease the capacity of the hospital
to lit beds. Mr.. Whitton reported
that the increase would enable the
institution to meet virtually all OF
its wartime demands and to ease
situation that rapidly was becom-
ing critical.
Speaking not only for the hos
pital and the stan, but for the peo-
pie of Alexandria" the adlninistra-
tor said, I'VE are deeply appreciative
Of the assistance we received from
the War Production Board in recon-
sidering our project and giving 1t
their approval"

With Pleasure Car Ban

Effects Of the pleasure driving
ban on police court fines were
shown In the monthly report Of the
Alexandria Civil and Police Court
submitted to Judge James r. Dun
can by Earl G. Fletcher, clerk and
bailiff.
The office handled $4,455.50 dur
ing January, against 5000 for De-
cember. Mr.. Fletcher holds the
drop in fines for trafiic ofIenses re-
sponsible for the decrease.
Corporation Court ofncials re-
vealed that marriage licenses have
taken sharp drop since driving has
been curtailed. During December
157 licenses were issued, many Of
them to couples from other States,
while the report for January showed
only 118.
Although trafic offenses still led
in causes for arrests in January, Po-
lice Capt. Edgar Sims said there
were only 20 accidents during the
month, compared with 80 for Janu-
ary, 1912. The 40 accidents re-
suited in 10 injuries and no deaths.

The Arnold Operated Bus Co. will
be allowed to purchase IL new 35-
passenger buses. which will be ready
Tor delivery at the factory In Kent,
ONO, within week, it was learned
today.
In releasing II of the 20 new
buses requested by the Virginia line
Once OF Defense TRANSPORTATION
oncials said that an order is being
drafted to compel the line to stop
Its buses at Rosslyn on Sundays to
save rubber and gasoline.
ODT oficials said the buses were
released to Arnold because of over
crowded conditions on the line and
the acute need for additional IA
cilities.
Won't Pcnalize Public.
Guy A. Richardson, director of
ODT's division Of local transport,
said the agency felt that the Vir-
Rtnia public should not be penalized
for the company's failure to comply
voluntarily with an ODT conserva-
ton request.
The company has opposed Wig
orously a plan to stop its buses
at the Rosslyn Circle on Sundays
and to transfer passengers to Capital
Transit Co. streetcars for downtown
destinations. This plan. originally
presented by District Traffic Direc-
tor William Van Duzer, originally
would have stopped all Arnold buses
at RosSlyn. It was later modified,
however, to off-peak hours, but
never adopted.
No Arrangements Made.
A spokesman for the bus line said
no arrangements have been made
with Capital Transit to split fares
for passengers transferring at
RoSslyn. Under the present fare
schedule passengers would be forced
to pay two fares, one on each bus
line.
If no split-fare arrangement is.
worked out voluntarily by the two
lines the matter probably will be
taken up by the Virginia State
Corporation Commission and the
District Public Utilities Commis-
sion, 1t was predicted.
The Arlington & Fairfax Motor
Transportation Co. also will receive
i've new buses which are expected
to be ready for delivery Wednesday,
1t was announced.
The bus line was authorized yes
terday by the State Corporation
Commission to issue notes for the
purchase of the buses. The total
purchase price will be approx
mately $43,8l6.85, 1t was said, and
about 10 per cent of this price
viii be paid in cash, with the bal
ance spread over a 60-month period.
