ton OF the planning commission
for single-lane bridge, is nota-
bly, inconsistent with the principles
and policies set forth In the recent
monumental report on interregional
highways published early in the year
by the National Interregional High
ways Committee. This report was
signed by Thomas H. Macdonald,
chairman; @. Donald Kennedy, vice
chairman: G. H. Purcell, Frederick
A. Delano, Harland Bartholomew
and Rexford Guy Tugwen and made
the basis for the new Federal aid
highway bill which has just become
law. According to the report:
The interregional routes, however
they are located. will tend to be q
powerful influence in shaping the
city. For this reason they should
be located so as to promote q de-
sirable development or at least to
support q natural development
rather than to retard or distort the
evolution Of the city. In favorable
locations, the new facilities, which
as q matter of course should be
designed for long life, will become
more and more useful as time
passes; improperly located. they
will become more and more Of an
incumberance to the city's func-
tions and an all too durable re-
minder Of planning that was bad
1t Is very important, therefore, that
the interregional routes within cities
and their immediate environs shall
be made part of the planned de-
velopment of the cities themselves
1t Is well to remember in this con-
nection that observations of the
existing traffic flow may not be an
infallible guide to the best locations.
In many cities there are city plan
ming commissions that have already
given thought to desirable changes
in the present city structure. Some
OF these bodies have reached quite
definite decisions regarding many of
the elements that will affect the To-
cation OF interregional highways in
and near the city. Usually the de-
cisions Of the planning commission
have grown out of studies of the city
as 1t is, and as the commission de-
sires 1t to be. And these studies
will usually afford the principal data
and bases for agreement upon the
general locations of the interre-
gional routes. =
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, composed of
Federal and District officials and
eminent leaders in planning ap-
pointed by the President, has made
studies Of the sort described above
and when the plans of the commits
sion are examined as a whole, the
Impartial student of planning can
not escape the conclusion that
Washington should have In the near
future, for its sound development, a
single six-lane bridge at Fourteenth
street and the Alexandria Bridge.

AS soon as the frost is out of tho
soil it is we'll to test the soil for
acidity. Most crops do best on a
slightly acid soil. A few, such as
tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, po-
tatoes and sweet potatoes prefer an
even more acid soil. BY taking a
sample and testing it, or by sending
it to laboratory, the exact condi-
ton of your soil can be determined.
Most laboratories will recommend
the treatment necessary to put the
soil in good condition for the grow
ing of crops.
According to w. r. BeaCtie, who
had charge Of Victory gardens dur
ing the last war, the need for home
grown vegetables was the greatest
during the two years after the armi-
stice. If the United States is to feed
the world this time, as they are now
talking OF doing, Victory gardens
will be even more important than
they have been.
More and more gardeners are add
ing white clover to their lawn grass
mixtures because it is more drought
resistant than grass. Also, white
clover gathers nitrogen from the air
and feeds the grass, while the broad
leaves shading the soil tend to
smother out crabgrass. Sow white
clover seed in the spring at the rate
of ounce to 100 square feet of sur
face. If sown in March, on estab-
lished lawns, 1t will not need to be
raked into the soil.

Hardwood cuttings should be made
soon. A 6-inch cutting is about the
right size for handling, although the
lower cut should be just below a
node or bud, while the top should be
trimmed to within a quarter inch of
a node or bud. This may make it
necessary to take a longer, rather
than a shorter cutting. Store the
cutting in peat moss that is slightly
damp in cool place until the soil Is
workable. Before planting them in
the propagation bed, it is desirable
to incorporate generous quantities
Of peat moss and sand. Set the cut
t1ngs about 4 inches deep.

IT." They further concluded that
any action which tends to divert
traf1ic from the business district, for
economies or other reasons Gas pro-
posed by the planning commission) !,
Is poor economy, as property values
viii be deprecated more than the
yearly cost Of constructing adequate
transportation facilities. Although
the Commissioners cannot agree
that the present capacity of the ia
cilities along Fourteenth street will
be overloaded by trafiic from the
two-bridge scheme, they consider
that it would be comparatively sim
pie and more economical to increase
that capacity than to build a new
river crossing.
1t is desirable to state that the
Commissioners fully appreciate the
convictions OF the planning COM
mission and the Secretary Of the In
terror In this matter, but should the
decision made at this time prove to
be erroneous, the Commissioners
alone must accept the responsibility
They are fully convinced that in
concurring with the administrator
OF public roads in respect to traffic
engineering and with the Fine Arts
Commission In respect to esthetic
values involved, they have accepted
the best possible advice.
Charts and maps have been pre-
pared substantiating the position
taken by the officials Of the District

disease konwn as anaplasmosis.
Development of a serum for immu-

a new veterinary research institute

Saltwater.
The disease is estimated TO be
causing Oklahoma cattlemen a
quarter million dollar loss annually.

for a remedy. Washington says
the malady is serious in other
states. DR.. w J. Pistor. University
