RECORD CROWD DUE AT FLOWER EXHIBIT Chrysanthemum Show to Close This Evening After Exceptional Week. The largest crowd that ever attend- ed the chrysanthemum show of the Department of Agriculture in one day Is expected today. Special “arrange- ments have been made for handling the crowd and there will be “one-way traffic” during the rush hours. Offi cials of the department will be on hand to welcome the specially in- vited guests. Mrs. William M. Jardine, wife of the Secretary, will be accom- panied by several women of the Cab- Inet in receiving prominent soclety people and members of the families of the Diplomatic Corps. The show will be at its best today, the conservatory having been “reset’ with more than 1,000 fresh plants to replace those that have grown too mature. A new method of arrange- ment has been employed so that it will be like a different show to repeaters who have visited the greenhouses at Fourteenth and B streets northwest mrller in the week. A. C. Oehmler, president of the \\mhinmon Florists’ Society, formally presented yesterday to J. Wise Byrns, superintendent in charge of the green. houses where the chrysanthemums are produced, 20 certificates of merit cov- ering the entire show and Individual specimen plants. The special grand award was on the entire exhibit which the Washington judges pronounced to be the finest chrysanthemum show ever held in this country. More than 20 local florists and most of the officials of the Department of Agriculture and some 200 special Euests of the department witnessed ‘he presentation. Announcement was made that all of the new seedlings | produced this year by the depart- ment are to be grown commercially next season by leading florists of the country. There has developed considerable rivalry among florists as to which ones can get these new va- rietles for propagation. The show will be open all day to- day—from 9 am. to 9 p.m., when the doors will be closed. The show is in the greenhouses of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Fourteenth and Calling Coolidge ‘Cal’ 0.K.’d by Head Of Women’s Clubs Is it disrespectful to refer to the President of the United States as “Cal”? ‘The Chiid Culture Club of Ogden, Utah, feeling that. the use of a nickname in speaking of the Presi- dent is undignified, has ed a resolution protesting against the growing practice of calling Mr. Coolidge “Cal,” and has referred the question to Mrs. John D. Sher- man, president of the General Fed- eration of Women's Clubs, now resident at that organization's headquarters in Washington. Mrs. Sherman, in her reply con- gratulating the club on its adher- ence to good manners, calls atten- tion to the fact that America in her great hurry to make adjust- ments between new officers and es- tablished regimes, sometimes for- gets to pay attention to the niceties of social intercourse. “Calling Mr. Coolidge ‘Cal' does not indicate rudeness,” writes Mrs. Sherman. “It suggests a hurry to get acquainted, and is an affec- tionate term appllied in approval to a leader who is himself seem- ingly a little austere in his force- fulness.” ASKS PARASITE WAR.
