ANCIENT SPORT REVIVED
Brooms Put Curling on Ice Here

The word "curl" is not such
a silly one. It's easy to pro-
nounce and it has its meanings.
Girls curl hair and eyelasheS.
Villains curl lips. And if you're
Of a mind you can just go
out and curl.
That's what a man does
when he picks up what is
usually to him a foreign object
"a broom-and goes out to
sweep the ice with it.
Curling started with the Scots
in the 18th century and mi
grated with them to Canada,
then filtered into the United
States. The first United States
curling club was founded in
Michigan in 1881.
1t took a long time to get
to the Capital. This areas
first and only curling club is
A months old, yet it already
has its diehards and growing
membership plus a first place

He said Maryland officials

1t was announced at the

HARRISONBURG, Va. Mar.

Fifty families in the Ches-

Record Budget
Arlington
&c Tax Boost
Board Considers
County Request
For $21.8 Million
A record $21.8 million budget

A record $21.8 million budget
calling for Scent increases in
real and personal property tax
rates was submitted today to
the Arlington County Board.
At the same time, the board
received a separate $16.5 mil
lion request for school funds
which would add another 2
cents to the same rates.
Together, if accepted by the
board, the increases would re-
quire county residents to pay
$4.45 for each 500 worth of
personal property and 1891 on
each 500 in real estate.
The county budget, drawn up
by County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg, asks $2.6 million more
than the board appropriated
for the current fiscal year.
With anticipated revenue
1915, 1000 short of balancing the
total outlay, Mr.. Lundberg pro-
posed the tax increases to cover
normal growth, accelerated
programs and a general wage
adjustment"
County employees, under a
revised schedule, would be
granted pay raises to bring
them more in line with their
counterpartS in Fairfax. They
last received a raise, about 2.5
per cent across the board, two
years ago.
Details of the new pay
schedule, which would cost
$509,0O0. were to be disclosed
later today.
The companion school budget
also requests a new scale for
teachers raising their yearly
earnings by 5000 to $500 and
costing $618,000.
The county budget calls for
expansion of the police and
fire divisions. Funds to hire
six patrolmen, one detective
and nine fire fighters are
asked, with accompanying
tables showing their increased
workloads last year in both
divisions.
A total Of $75,560 is allocated
for tuition grants to children in
private schools.
The budget allocates 500, 900.
for the library department to
use in purchasing books, as we'll
as $495, 1000 for construction of
three new library branches in
Shirlington, Westover and
Glencarlyn.
Other construction funds in
clude SIT million for roads and
storm sewers; 100000 for SAN
itary sewer projects; $465, 900
for a central fire station, and
1925, 900 for a recreation center.
One of the smaller items, a
request for $37,943 for partici-
patton in regional programs,
represents a Jump Of more than
one-third over last year.
Before making a final de-
cision on either the county or
school budgets, the board will

Peruvian DoffodiIs
Offer Quick Beauty

develop. owever, If well
planted the flower stems are
soon followed by luXuriant
sword-like leaves that give the
bed a tropical appearance.
However, most gardeners plant
the Peruvian daffodils for their
large white trumpets. The pet
ais are fringed and have an
interesting green throat, which
seems to be appropriate for the
delightful fragrance.
How to Force Them
The Peruvian daffodils may
be forced for indoor bloom just
as one does with an amaryllis
Place the large bulbs in q
5 or 6 inch pot in q soil mix
ture of equal parts Of sand
garden loam, peatmoss and
compost. A bit of dried COW
manure might well be added.
Water the potted bulb and
place in a warm sunny window
where it will soon show signs
of growth. When this appears
water freely but do not let
the soil become "water-logged.
A weekly feeding with a liq-
uid fertilizer is highly bene-
fetal.
A stake might well be placed
to support the 10 to "a inch
flower stalk.
After the flower has faded
it is well to keep up the water
ing and feeding until warm
weather when the potted plant
may be placed in the garden
to store up strength for an.
other seasons bloom.
The bulbs for forcing might
well be kept in pots and only
the top inch Of soil replaced
each season.
The bulbs growing in thu
garden may be dug as soon al
frost appears. Frosted foliage
does not seem to affect the Wig
or or storing quality of thu
bulbs. Most gardeners allow thu
foliage to dry before removing
but that, too, does not seem tt
materially affect the bulbs
During the winter the biz
fleshy bulbs should be stored
near the furnace in a warn
dry situation. They need no
be bagged except in very DIR!
easements. If bagged the!
should be examined frequentl!
to make certain they are no
too moist and subject to rot.

Knowing the correct time to
plant flower seeds for best re-
suits is a subject of vital i'm
portance to successful garden
ers. Some experts suggest
planting as soon as the ground
can be worked, while others
advise waiting until it is thor
oughly warm. And both sug-
gestions for planting may be
correct, depending on the vari-
cites.
Hardy ANIMALS really live up
to their name, says Edna King
Vaudeville, an authority on
ANIMALS. They resist cold and
frost in the seed and plant
stages, and for the most part
actually terminate better when
temperatures are warm by day
and chilly by night. In fact,
many of these varieties germi-
nate poorly if their planting is
delayed until really warm
weather. For best results -
and best possible flowers -here
is a schedule to follow:
