12 WEWS OF THE CLUBS The Rose Soelety of Brookland endea its activities for the season re- cently by a general open meeting and inspection of the gardens, after which the members met under the rose-cove- ered pergola in the garden of Mrs. Margaret B. Downing for a social re- union. Dr. John B. Parker, president of the club, made an address on the condition of the gardens and urged a general replanting of bushes in the late autumn, if the society is to main- tain the high standard set for blooms noted at its usual annual exhibitions. ’his rose show w prevented this gdr, after al! preparations for it had been completed, by the late frosts and continued cold and rainy weather. Dr. Parker suggested that if diligence were shown in the gardens during the summer it would be possible to hold a small exhibition of roses per- haps the first week of October, and he counseled that the members take quality rather than quantity in plan- ning their rose bed Franklin T. owe, an active member of the s ciety, und Dr. George Weschler ad dressed the society on the outlook for the coming yeur, after which a basket picnic was spread on long tables profusely decorated with Ra- diance and Killarney roses.

The next meeting of the Evans Post will be held July 7 at Old Naval Hos- pital, 9th street and Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Arrangements are being completed | by the entertainment committee of National _Capitol Post, No. 127, Vet- erans of Foreign Wars, forarally and entertainment to be held Tuesday evening at § o'clock at Community Service Hall, 914 10th street north- west. In connection with the program several members of Congress are to give addresses. The executive committee at its bi- monthly meeting indorsed the dis- charging from government depart- ments of all married women where the husbands, too, are holding govern- ment positions, and having ample means of support. The committee urged, however, that persons holding positions under the civil service be retained until the temporary employes are dismissed. 1t was recommended also by the committee that the retirement of ‘su- perannuated employes be so changed to include length of service as well age. Ap act of Congress making obligatory for appointments of ex- service men to all non-educational and subclerical positions, it was pointed out by the committee, would have the tendency of remedying a dis- criminatory practice which appears to exist throughout the government de- partments. Members of the District of Colum- bia Chapter, Rainbow Division Vet- erans, are preparing instructions for their delegates to the second annual convention to be held at Cleveland next month. The delegates with vot- ing privileges are Elmer F. Neagl Edward J. Mahan and J. Bentley Mu ord. A meeting of the chapter will be held in the Dugout, 1004 E street northwest. tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock. Matters of interest to Rain- bow Veterans as well as all ex-serv- ice men, will be discussed. Camp Rainbow, above Georgetown on the Virginia side of the Potomac river, was formally opened last Sat- urday and Sunday, when many mem- bers of the chapter with their wives and friends attended camp. ‘The District of Columbia Depart- ment of the American Legion will in- augurate a membership drive July 4, following out the. program of the late National Commander F. W. Galbraith, for each member of the legion, on In- dependence day, to bring in a mem- ber, thus doubling the membership of the organization. At the meeting of the department executive commit- tee Monday night, Department Com- mander James Drain appointed Vice Commander A. S, Imirie chair- man of the committee. A meeting of the committee was held Thursday aft- ernoon, at which the preliminary plans were outlined. The local deparument also voted to it tained in the government service. The committee also adopted a reso- lution urging immediate passage by Congress of the five-fold adjusted compensation act. The resolution is now before the new national com- mander, John G. Emery, for his ac- tion. The committee indorsed the proposition for the establishment of military trainipg camps and members of the various posts will be urged to co-operate in this connection by at- tending them during the summer months. Vice Commander Rose F. Stokes reported . that the sum of |f0T export of American tobacco to $2.215.42 had been received from the | China. sale of poppies for last Memorial d2Y. | m——_—_—_n_n | ‘The Tank Corps Post, No. 19, Ameri- can Legion, adopted resolutions thank- ing John B.
