Kelsey—Industry Said to Need Federal Standardization. The proposed natfonal aboretum is greatly needed as a “bureau of stand- ards for the identification of.plants, to protect not only the legitimate hor- ticultural industry, but also the pur- chasliig public, in the opinion of Har- lan P. Kelsey of Salem, Mass.. presi- dent of the American Association of Nurserymen. There 1is yet no such Federal agency In existence, Mr. Kelsey point- ed out In discussing the matter here yesterday, charging that this very lack allowed the activities of some “crooks” and “fly-by-night men," al- leged to be selling to the public nur- sery stock not true to its name. ‘Thousands of dollars could be saved, and honest dealers and the public pro- tected, Mr. Kelsey belleves, by mak- ing the national arboretum here a Federal agency where standards in plant identification would be set. Nur- serymen, florists and seedmen would rejoice at the opportunity to place their industry in full co-operation with such a Federal “bureau of stand- ards,” Mr. Kelsey thought. Reliet Now Difficult. the present situation, pointed out, the only recourse avail- able to the public which has been sold an inferior grade of nursery stock by misrepresentation Is through the com- mon Jaw, and it Is dificult to prove a wrong. With unscrupulous or ignorant dealers selling stock which is not true to its name, Mr. Kelsey said, higher prices have resulted, and the amount of the erops, such as fruit, have been reduced. In the proposed national arboretum, for the establishment of which two identical bills are now pending in the Senate and the House, Mr. Kelsey says it might be expected the Gov- ernment would set out true types of various trees and plants, particularly the hardy perennials, which would stand as the criterions by which oth- ers in the trade could be identified much more positively than it is now possible to identify them. 1t is dificult, even for experts in the business, Mr. Kelsey said, to Under he NAVY CONTROVERSY GATHERS NEW FUEL IN HOUSE REPORT (Continued from First Page.) ers, and these powers by the expan- sion of their navies can virtually de- termine the extent to which we must bulld up our Navy if we are to main- tain the ratio.” Conflicting reports that have come from varying sources as to what should or should not be done with respect to the Navy are regarded by some members of both the House and Senate as making necessary a thor- ough-going investigation by Con- gress before additional money s ap- propriated for modernization or new construction. Such an investigation will be pro- posed before the Senate naval com- miltee next Tuesday by Senator King, Democrat, Utah, who will urge that Congress does not have sufficient in- formation for it to outline a com- prehensive plan for the Navy or for future naval development. Some of the things he would have Congress inquire into are: Why the 5-5-3 naval ratio treaty has not been lived up to. Whether Great Britaln and Jspan have altered gun elevations upon capital ships. To Study Types of Craft. Whether any American battleships are obsolescent or whether they are in condition justifying the spending of millions on them in repairs. As to the number of submarines, crulsers, airplane carrlers and other auxiliaries necessary to balance the fighting fleet. As to the number and types of air- planes required and whether there should be co-operation in designing and construction between the Army and Navy. g Whether there is a suffictent num- ber of naval base 'As to the plans.of the Navy for the protection of the Philippines and Guam. Whether the Naval College and the general board have projected a rational plan of naval development. Whether the Government should construct its own warships in its own yards or depend upon private builders. ‘Whether the present method of pro- motion in the Navy is wise and whether it has affected the morale of the Navy. The cause of so many resignations of officers and desertions of enlisted men from the Navy. Why with an expenditure of trom $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 annually on the Navy since the war the Navy is not In as good condition as it was before such large expenditures were inaugutated. For the fiscal vear 1926, exelusive of the amount which would be re- quired to start ‘the 20-vear building program, Secretary Wilbur's report sald, $37,361,500 should be expended to carry out the work already author- ised by Congress. This proposed ex- penditure would include $23,894,000 to complete two aircraft carriers and fleet submarines under construction and to_provide half of the $26,935,000 requir modernize six battieships, afford underwater protections to seven others and construct six river gunboats. Eight Crutsers Asked. In order that the treaty ratio for eapital ships be attained in all types of combat craft, the report said, the eight light cruisers already author- ized should be started in the fiscal year 1926, and four additional light cruisers in 1927. “Five fleet submarines already au- thorized, one aircraft carrier, and one floating drydock, not yet authorized, it added, “should be authorized and commenced in the fiscal year 1926." The cost of the elght crulsers pro. W be about $16,600,000 apiece; the sub- marines about $6,000,000 aplece; one alrcraft carrier, $23,000,000; one float- ing drydock, $7,600,000; a grand total of $192,500,000, o' which amount $62, 000,000 should be available for the first year: 7To this should be added the cost of aircraft, about $20,000,000, for the first year. Man Slain; Another Held. ANDERSON, 8, C., December 13— James Evans, 42, residing near Hart- well, Ga., is dead, and James Vickery 1s held in Carnesville, Ga., in connec- tion with the shooting of Evans, near Lavonia, Ga., last night, acording to word received here today. identify certain varleties of plants, and the Government men who would make this thelr speclalty would prove of great aid in establishing the ¥hole industry on.a more reliable ba: fact, he sald, it would be the tion” of the industry. . Not only are the nursey men in favor of a national arboretum at ‘Washington, Mr. Kelsey said, but they are in favor of the particular site at Mount Hamilton, proposed in the Pepper and Luce bilis now pend- ing. A committee from the Associa- tion_of Nurserymen, headed by Rob- ert Pyle of West Grove, Pa., Inspected the site and pronounced it well adapted in every way for such a pur- pose. The climatic conditions here, Mr. Kelsey pointed out, are ideal. “Wash- ington is peculiarly placed,” he said, “In the right latitude, near water and with weather which is favorable to the growth not only of nearly all plants as far south as South Caro- lina. but also of plants which can &row below the frost line. You have the Winter jasmine, and the great southern magnolia {s right at home here. In fact, there is no other place in the United States so well fitted for a natlonal aboretum.” Streases Educational Side. The nurserymen and horticultural- ists are also mindful of the great ed- ucational value of an aboretum, Mr. Kelsey emphasized. It would be a “means of educating hundreds of thousands, even millions of people, in the ways of trees and plants. It would be a real, living museum, growing all plants that would thrive in this latitude. And it would pro- vide a beautiful and attractive land- scape, a refuge for bird life.” Another practical advantage of locat- ing the arboretum at Washington, ac- cording to Mr. Kelsey, is the fact that the Federal Government already has working here its big staff of experts in the Department of Agriculture, who are not only available, but eager to take it over as a “workshop” for the preserva- tion of many of their apecimens collect- ed from various parts of the world and the propagation of others. Many Names Defined. The horticultural industry has made efforts already, however, to standardize plant names, )’ Kelsey said, through the American ju.at committee on horti- cultural nomenclature, which published a book containing the agreed-upon names of more than 45,000 varieties. These had been accepted by the trade, he said, and had been a great help in stabilizing the situation. But still there was vital' need for the ‘great central “bureau of etandards for the identifica- tion of plants.” The joint committee which published the nomenclature included representa- tives of the American Association of Nurserymen, the Ornamental Growers Association, American Institute of Park Executives, American Soclety of Land- scape Architects, the American Phar- maceutical Association and the Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists. A Dbill, introduced by Representative Cramton of Michigan, and favored by the nurserymen, according to Mr. Kel- sey, would provide penalties for ship- ping in interstate commerce nursery stock “not true to name.” The RARE BOOK Shop 723 Seventeenth St. Phone Main 1291 NOW READY Catalogue of Fine Books Suitable for Presentation And the best of the New Books James F.

Edward Johnson, Canadian tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company and Donna Orpensia, mezzo-soprano, daughter of the Duke of Mignanno who sang here in private recital for the American-Italian Soclety, will be the artists for the first program of the second season of morning musi cals arranged by Mrs. Lawrence Townsend, well known patron of the musical arts in Washington.

They will be presented ir the ballroom at Rauscher's at 11:17 o'clock on January 7, 14, 21, 28 anc February 4. Wimners of Recognition. ‘There is little need to remind mus'c lovers or musicians anywhere of the remarkable talent and voice of Ed- ward Johnson, for he has create sensations with his singing of oper- atlo roles that have been published all over the world. Donna Orpensia won high recognition with her re- cital in Rumanian costume and wil! give a program in Town Hall. New York, Wednesday. It is probable tha” ahe will give at least part of her |numbers here in costu Her mother wus a4 Rumanian, but Miss Orpensia received her education in music in Italy and France under leading ex- ponents of the bel canto stylo. Miss Orpensia and Mr. Johnson will sing duets as well as solo groups. John Barclay, the British baritone, who is the only one of last year's artists to be presented this year by Mrs. Townsend, is listed because of special requests to hear him again. The reason others are not asked for repetition concerts is due to Mrs. Townsend’s plan to present prin- cipally artists not heard here before, thus in no way conflicting with the engagements listed b concert bu- reaus here.
