4 SCHOOL GARDENS HAVE LARGE YIELD Public Invited to Inspect Plots to See Progress Made. Gardens planted and cared for by public school children of Washing- ton this summer have transformed twelve vacant, weed-propagating lots into verdant plots producing a total of $1,500 worth of vegetables to date, it was announced today. With a view to acquainting moth- ers and fathers with what has been accomplished by youthful agricultur- ists of the local public schools, offi- cials have arranged to set aside Fri- day of this week as “School Gar- den day.”’ On that day eleven of the twelve public school gardens of the District will be open to parents and friends who wish to visit the minia- ture farms established in the heart of the city by students in school garden classes. Many Vegetables Raised. Each of these embryo farmers is the proud proprietor of an individual plot on which he raises onions, car- rots, radishes, parsley, beans, beets, tomatoes and even corn in some places. The work on these gardens was started before school closed in the spring, one period a week of school time being_allowed each class for gardening. Since the cessation of regular studies and in spite of the Jure of vacation, the boys and girls | have continued their work, each gar- dener attending two garden classes a week. The combined average attend- ance has been 327 children a week. Even during the extreme heat of July the interest and enthusiasm of the young farmers and farmerettes did not flag, teachers declare. adding that it was more often found neces- sary to tell the children they were do- ing too much than to urge them to greater effort. School garden supervisors point out’| that to many city children the school garden is the only taste of dountry life which their existence affords. Teachers remind the gardeners that “one word from the fields is worth two from the city” and a favorite motto with them is “God made the country.” Location of Gardens.® ¢ The location of school gardens and the hours during which they will be open Friday, August 26, follows.

PREPARATIONS COMPLETE FOR ROCKVILLE FAIR Many Features for Sixty-Eighth Annual Meeting of Montgomery County Agricultural Society. Special Correspondence of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., August 22.—The sixty-elghth annual fair and race meet of Montgomery County Agri- cultural Society will begin tomor- row morning, to continue four days. The finishing touches to the prepara- tions were put on by a small army of carpenters and others and prac- tically everything is in readiness for what the fair_ officials believe will prove one of the best exhibitions of its kind ever staged at Rockville. No expense has been spared in get- ting ready for this year's exhibi- tion. A new horticultural building has been erected, an addition to the poultry house built, much of the fencing around the big inclosure has been renewed and many other im- provements made. The management has provided an unusual array of attractions for the four days. A horse show, of which high jumping will be a feature; horse, pony and motor cycle races, bailoon ascensions, airplane exhibi- tions and a large midway will be among the features each day. Ac- cording to the superintendents of the various departments, there is every indication that all available space will be taken up with exhibits of almost every concelvable description. Something like $8.000 in_ premiums and race purses will be distributed. The poultry show promises again to prove one of the biggest features of the fair. 'Henry J. Hunt of Bethesda, who has for a number of years been in charge of this department, is en- thusiastic over the prospects of a fine show. He believes theré will'be more and choicer specimens of chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigeons, geese, rab- bits, etc., than ever before seen at a Rockville fair. - As was the case last year, the club women of the county have been of great assistance to the fair officials in preparing for the fair. The-main exhibition hall, where will be on ex- hibition cut flowers, growing plants, tancy work, works of art, antiques, preserves, jellies, cakes, candies, etc., will be in charge of the club women. The_committee in charge is composed of Mrs. James H. Jones, chairman; Mrs. J. Frank Wilson, vice chalrman Miss _Catharine Cowsill, secretary Miss Nannie Poole, Mrs. John H. Gass- away, Mrs. Thomas T. Barnsley, Mrs. THE EVENIN Ordinarily Considered Needed Have Been Restricted. The present administration of the War Department has effected every possible economy, Secretary Weeks stated in a summary of its work since March 4, transmitted to Chairman Kahn of the House military commit- tee. The report, said the department, had economized “even to the extent of restricting activities which would or- dinarily be considered necessary, whierever this could be done without a positive injury to the service. Reviewing the accomplishments of the department since he became Sec- retary, Mr. Weeks declared that in his opinion one of the greatest was the selection of Gen. Pershing and Gen. Harbord as chief and deputy chief of staff, as it meant the lessons of the war would not be lost. Reduction to Cost $6,000,000. Reduction of the Army from 242,000 to 150,000 enlisted men, Mr. Weeks said, would cost approximately $6,- 000,000, due to statutory requirements regarding the payment of bonuses, travel allowances, etc., to discharged soldiers. In an effort to avold a def- icit during the current fiscal year a survey of all appropriations available had been made in co-operation with the director of the budget, he added, with the result that $27,000,000 al- ready had been set aside as not needed. A survey of all government real es- tate under control of the department showed ninety-seven parcels as sur- plus, which would be disposed of, he reported. The cost value of property declared surplus by the department since March 4 was given as $103,989,187, while the cost value of the amount sold was $121,615.851. The amount re- cefved from sales was $23,394,693. CLOTHING RELIEF NEEDED IN EUROPE NEXT WINTER American Administration Makes Report- Covering Work in 1919-1921. Report covering the clothing relief furnished to children of eastern and centrd]l Europe during the winters of 1919-1920 and 1920-1921, together with the proposed program for the coming winter, has just been issued by the American relief administration. “The fact that the need for clothing was second only to that for food was established early in 1919, report. “After four years of during which imports of raw ma terials, woolens, cotton, manufactured textiles or leather goods had been nil and with all stocks absorbed in meet- ing the demands of the military, no particular investigations were needed to_explain the dearth of clothing. “Such clothing as remained was priced at figures which made it im possible for the really needy to buy As in Belgium, it was not unusual to find even the well-to-do wearing suits made from curtain hangings, etc., and the poor naturally were not able to resort to such expedients. “Food for generating strength and warmth was the most efficacious form of relief, yet to continue strength and maintain warmth clothing was essential.” During_the winter of 1919-20 there were _distributed 1,147,500 clothing outfits, apportioned as follows Poland, 700,000; Austria, 100,000 Czechoslovakia, Jugoslav 70,000; H i Finland, 40,001 X 5 40,000 Latvl 25.000; Lithuania, 12,500. Each out fit consisted of a pair of substantial all-leather beots, a pair of heavy woolen stockings, a yard and one- half of fifty-four-inch woolen cloth for making a child's overcoat and the necessary buttons, needles and thread. The average cost of an outfit was 23 and the total expenditure was $5.999,787.03, Poland, Austria, Hingary and’ the ||| clothing Baltic states will require relief during the coming winter, the the report predicts, “because of the unquestioned distress to be expected in_those countries.” 1t is proposed to distribute outfits consisting of boots,- stockings and material for overcoats. The allot- ment proposed for Poland is 350,000 such outfits, 140.000 for Austria, 50,- 000 for Hungary and 10,000 for Letvia, Esthonia, it is planned will get 10,000 pairs of boots and stockings. ——r—r———— CATHOLIC MEN TO MEET.’ National Welfare Council to Open Convention September 20.
