The woman's committee for regis- tration week is hopeful, however. that the few associations which still bar women will grant them the “neighborhood franchise” during the forthcoming campaign. Mrs. Nanette 8. Paul, chairman, and Mrs. Anna E. Hendley, vice chair- man of the woman's committee, will attend a meeting of the South Wash- ington Citizens’ Association -at the Jefferson School tomorrow night to ask that association to admit women. Mrs. Paul today called attention to the fact that local women have worked diligently to obtain national representation_in Congress for the people of the District. The chairman of the woman's com- mittee believes there is work for women as well as men in the neigh- borhood citizens’ assoclations, which has been demonstrated in those asso- clations which admit women. Don H.

It became a university in 1779, the first such institiition fn America. William and Mary has given three Presidents to the United States—.lef ferson, onroe and Tyler; Chief Jus tice Marshall and three associate jus- tices of the Supreme Court, four sign- ers of the Declaration of Indepen- dence, twenty-nine United States sen- ators. twenty-two governors, three Speakers of the House of Representa- tives, ten cabinet officers and many representatives.

HENRY MUST SERVE SIX YEARS’ IMPRISONMENT Introduced at Request of Commis- sioners, Who Wish to Study Housing Move. A bill introduced in the Senate to- Former Head of Brokerage Firm Loses Appeal to Supreme Court. John Willlam Henry, former head of the defunct brokerage firm of Lewis Johnson & Co., must serve a term of six years’ imprisonment in the penitentlary. The United States Supreme Court yesterday declined to entertain an application by Attorney Danfel Thew Wright for a review of the decision of the District Court of Appeals, which, by a divided court, had afirmed the conviction of Henry on a charge of embezzling certificates of stock placed with him for sale by clients of the firm. ‘When the mandate of the Supreme (‘ourt is formally received by the lo- val court, Henry, who now is out un- der bond,” will ‘either have to sur- render or will be placed in custody by the United States marshal. Henry was indicted December 17, 1914, shortly after the failure of the brokerage firm and was convicted in 1915 and sentencéd to serve eight years In the penitentiary. On an ap- peal this conviction was set aside hecause of the faflure of the govern- ment to prove the money value of the certificates of stock, the proof being only that the certificates were stolen. The appellate court held this to be only a misdemeanor, the stocks not having been shown to be of value ex- ceeding $35 and remanded the case for sentence, which could not have been more than one year at Occoquan. Henry refused to abide by this de- cision, and on a rehearing, the case as reversed and a new trial ordered. ‘The second trial resulted in a convic- tlon, the government showing the atock to be worth more than 34,000. Henry was then sentenced to impris- ment in the penitentlary for six vours and again appealed. The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, Justice Robb - dissenting. Counsel sought to have the highest court re- view this decision, but has failed. SEVEN “WET” CHARGES. Seven persons were arrested yester- Asy for violation of the prohibition law.

The Commissioners pointed out tkat a sur- showed a total of 2,228 allev dwell- ings, in which 9,495 persons lived. They said that practically the same lconditions exist today. Owing to jconditions brought about by the war, {the erection of buildings here was greatly retarded. This condition still prevails, according to the Commis- believe there would be much fm- lprnvement in the housing situation {in Washington within the time now allowed by law, which is one year from the date of the proclamation by the President of the ratification of the treaty of peace with Germany.

Motor transportation is, ho 'E\'er. not provided for, nor has mer- ger been made. kven should a merger be made it is desirable that there be two or more routes of approach by street cars. “Sites must, therefore, first, be pub- licly owned; second, be well elevated; third, have ample ground (say not five acres); fourth, be accessible, and must also, fifth, be suitable from an administrative 'standpoint; that is, must not crowd out or interfere with existing activities on the ground. “No site cast of the Eastern branch or Anacostia river is suitably acces- sible. The old Grant Road School site has often been spoken of. This site, containing only one acre, is inade- quate in size, and, furthermore. is ap- proximately four miles distant from 1ith and U streets northwest, which would be the assembly point, €0 to spoak, for car riders to this location. Discusses Park Locations. “As to possible location in_any one of the large parks, such as Poto- mao Park, the Zoo or Rock Creek Park, 1 am of the opinion that the that it is desirable to divert some land from its original recreational purpose, is the ground in Rock Creek Park, either immediately north or south of the 16th street reservoir. This can be reached, however, only by the 14th street car line and even then i3 beyond 14th and Decatur, the terminal of a large number of the cars. “Such property as Lincoln Square, Stanton Square, Farrague and Gar- fleld parks, Franklin Square, McMil- lan Park and Meridian Hill Park, etc, have not been listed as it is belleved wholly out of the question to locate the chool in any one of these small parks. “As the tubercular children must also be separated from the children attending the public schools, it is not possible to locate the building on any one of our public school sites. There are certain abandoned or unused school sites, namely, the Anacostia road, Bates road, old Brighwood, Hillsdale, Military road and Potomac sites. These, every one, possess the disadvantages of insufficient area and inaccessibility. ThesGrant road site, previously _discussed, is the Dest available of unused school sites.” Other Sites Mentioned. There is given a tabulation of addi- tional public-owned sites of two or more acres, which have been suggested or might be considered, as follows: ‘ ‘West of square 2108, Loomis Park; parcel 156-28, 18th and Monroe streets northeast; Reservation 13, Soldiers’ Home Grounds, Dalecarlia Reservation, Girls' Training School, Industrial Home School, Montrose Park, National Train- ing School for Boys, Tuberculosis Hos- ital. n“ln my opinfon,” the report con- cludes, “the Tuberculosis Hospital site at 14th and Upshur streets nortn- west possesses many advantages over all other posible sites. Thirteenth street is being cut through the greunds, dividing the former reser- vation into two approximately equal parts, The eastern part will be Ziven over to school purposes, with the erection thereon of the ne wjunior high school. The western portion contains the Tuberculosis Hospital, and on this portion, in 1y opinion the tubercular school should be erect- ed. It will be accessible by both 14th street and Georgia avenuo car lines. It is of ample size and well elevated. Furthermore, location in the tract with the Tuberculosis Hos- pital offers opportunity for better medical attention to the pupils in the school than could be given at any other point. It is recominanded that this site be fixed for the proposed building.” DIVORCE SUIT DISMISSED. Justice Hoehling of the District Supreme Court has dismissed the suit for an absolute divorce brought by Willlam T. Carley against his wife, the police force as corespondent.

Being a congre woman does not {compare in honor and glory with be- ing a mother who gave a son in the late war, Miss Alice Robertson, wom- an member of Congress from Okla- homa, told the Woman's National Foundation at the Knickerbocker Theater yesterday. “One of these mothers of Aperica gave the son who will be buried with national honors in Arlington on Armistice day.” she con- tinued. “I am glad that boy is name- less, because he will mean to the mothers all the boys who died for America and every mother will think of him as her own boy.” Few Know Politics, She Says. Miss Robertson declared that not one man or one woman in a hundred knows anything about politics. “So oth must learn together,” she said. Now t suffrage has come, women must take up the new burdens of citizenship and accept the responsibil- ities put upon them.” Representative W. B. Bankhead of Alabama, who also addressed the foundation, declared that members of Congress have begun to hear the col- lective voice of American women and that there is much work in recon- struction for women to_accomplish. Other Speakers Heard. Other speakers were Miss Cecil B. Norton of the District community centers; Mrs. Lydia 8.

If there is one thing more than another that’ improves the appear- | ance of our home grounds, it is a e sclection of hardy flowering As the list of shrubs available for this purpose is too large to enumerate in this article, it will perhaps suffice to mention a few of the best. They are deslgna tall growing; by the former | shruos from two to four fe ant me: and feet, as an average. Among the dwarf growing shrubs may be included the following va- rieties, with a briet description of cuch: The Fragrant Azalea (Azalea Ar- borescens) is a_pretly shrub, with fragrant white flowers. The Southern Azalea (Azalea Va- sevi) is exquisite pink flowers. a very graceful bush, with _Arbutus Flowering Shrub (Abelia Floribunda) is one of the most grace- ful of all flowering shrubs, and can- not be too Mighly praised. It is cov- ered with a mass of white, bell- shaped flowers, tinted with pink, from early spring until late fall. Butterfly Bush (Buddleia Veitchi- ana) resembies the lilac in color and shape, flowers continuously during the summer months; no shrub of recent introduction gives better results. Blue Spirea (Caryopteris Mastia- cantha) is a grand shrub. with a pro- fusion of rich, blue flowers. Yellow Jasmine (Jasminum Nudi- florum) is a very desirable shrub and the earliest to flower. Hydrangea Arborescens is especially valuable for shady places, has nice foliage with clusters of white flowers. Bush Honeysuckles (Lonicera Mor- rowi) bears a profusion of white flowers followed by red berries; Loni- cera Tatarica is similar only has red flowers and crimson berries. Mock Orange (Philadelphus Le- | moine) has a spreading habit with dark green foliage, and is a very prolifi~ bloomer. White Kerria (Rhodotyphus Kerri- oides) is a splendid shrub, with nice foliage and white flowers followed by black fruit. Sweet Pepper Bush (Clethra Alni- folia) is a valuable border plant, with a profusion of fragrant wlite flowers, and 18 continuously in bloom through- out the summer months. Snowberry (Symphoricarpus Race- mosa) is a shade-loving plant, with rose-white flowers, followed by white berries. Indian % Currant (Symphoricarpus Vulgaris) is also a shade-loving plant, bearing coral Dberries, until late winter. Among the taller growing shrubs may be mentioned: Syringas (Lilac)—The habit of the lilac is so well known that it will only be necessary to say that the following_ are excellent varieties: X, single reddish purple: Jean d'Arc is a very fine double white; Michael Buchnér is a_double, pale Iflac color. and Marie Lebraye is_a single white. Diervillas, or better known under the name of Welgelas, are among the showlest of shrubs; Weigela Rosea is a rose-colored flower, and Weigela Amabilis is a white-colored flower; these are two of the best. Bridal Bower (Spirea Van Houttei is a very graceful grower, covere with a mass of single white flowers in_the spring. Bridal Wreath (Spirea Prunifolia Flora-plena) is_a very vigorous grower with double white flowers. Mock Orange (Philadephus Grandi- flora) is a grand variety, has a grace- ful habit and bears large white flowers, Rose of Sharon (Althea or Hibis- cus) is a very desirable shrub flow- ering in late summer. There are quite a number of sorts, all very pleasing. The following sorts can be recommended: Jean d'Arc, pure double white; Totus Albus, single white, and Alba Plena is a double white with pink center. Sweet Shrub (Calycanthus Floridus) has fragrant chocolate-colored flow- ers with good bold foliage and should be in every collection of shrubs. Japanese Quince (Cydonia Japon- ica) makes a handsome shrub. In the spring the branches are covered with a dark green, glossy foliage ,and later with a profusion of flowers; there is a red, pink and white va- riety. Chaste Tree (Vitex Agnus Castus) is a large, rapid growing shrub. The leaves are deeply cut and very or- namental, flowers are produced in terminal panacles from five to seven inches long; there are two sorts, a blue and a white flowered. This is perhaps one of the prettiest of shrubs grown, particularly so when used as a single specimen. Golden Bell (Forsythia Suspensa) is a drooping 'variety and Fortunel, erect growing; both are desirable shrubs. The Pearl Bush (Exochorda Grandi- flora) is a very pretty shrub, bears clusters of pure white, starry flow- ers, sometimes an inch in diameter. It can be used either in groups or as an individual specimen. Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstraemia In- dica Alba and Ruba) are two of the best. The Crepe Myrtie is so well known in Washington, which is its northern limit, it will not require description. 2l All the shrubs in the above list flower in the Bvflflg ‘with the fol- lowing exceptions: lue Spirea But- terfly bush, Rose of Sharon, Chaste tree, Crepe Myrtle and Hydrangea Arborescens, which flower during the summer months. 3 ' CHARLES HENLOCK. —_—_— MRS.

The bill 13 being prepared by Dr. Bal- lou, superintendent of schools, and the board of education. The superintendent of schools has told Senator Capper, who is chairman of the Senate subcommittee on schools, that the salaries paid teachers in the District are too low to attract the class of teachers to the public schools which is desired. He said that recently the fact was advertised that additional teachers were needed, and the board of education received 400 replies from applicant When the applicants learned, however, the salaries paid the number dwindied to ninety-eight Dr. Ballou said that there are prob- ably thousands of teachers throughout the country who would be glad to {come to Washington, and who would {make sacrifices to come, but that the present salaries offered by the schools here called for too great sacrifices.
