The rank growing foliage may be used in providing temporary | £ screens or backgrounds, or even as individuals, as shown. by courtesy Department of Agriculture, and enough water to make 50 ts. The lead should be mixed with a small quantity of water an hour or 50 before adding to the mixture. For pears the same spray is used, with the exception that just one-half as much lead should be used. ‘Thoroughness in spraying is very im- portant, and is often considered of greater significance than such factors as _pressure or type of nozzles. The home gardener cannot afford to invest in expensive equipment with which to care for two or three trees, but, on the other hand, he can scarcely hope to grow worthwhile fruit without spraying. Concerning the number of gallons of spray required per mature apple or pear tree, one experiment station sug- gests that the amateur can roughly ap- proximate the nu r of gallons by dividing the age of tie tree by two. ‘The time has arrived when the gar- dener who prefers to plant his vegetables all at one time can start work. Al- though May 15 is generally conceded as the date of the last Spring frost, the home gardener can protect a few to- mato and pepper plants with flower pots or boxes. Beans and other tender t | plants, sceded now, will scarcely emerge from the soil before the middle of May. ‘Mr. | Tomatoes, beans, cucumbers and squash may gain a little hardiness by exposure to cool air or by withholding the water, but the gain is very slight and cannot be relied on to save plants from frost since these plants are of subtropical origin and have not acquired the ability ax developing cold resistance. Nothing to result. Who has not seen early set tomatoes lose leaves and take on a yel- low, starved appearance despite abund- ant food in the sofl? On the other hand, the sooner that the half hardy species, such as cabbage, caulifiower, beets, peas and chard, are coddling moth worm, | and in the soil the better as they will not enjoy the heat that comes in Summer. ‘Washing is in a peculiar environ- North nor South, but on line. Hence it is almost imperative to take advantage of the favorable weather when it occurs. the vegetable garden all at one date is not wholly desirable unless one wishes to specialize on either the hardy or the tender group of crop plants. I GARDEN ITEMS I Approximately four years have now since the embargo was placed on the entrance of narcissus bulbs from g ment, neither European countries, ‘allowing sufficient time to render fair judgment on the teur gardener. duction of new varieties has been slowed up, but the best of these will gradually become available through the lfum of special permits, granted un- er certain restrictions. The last few years have demonstrated that Ameri- can gardens can maintain their of narcissus without ‘constant .rejgen- ishment from abroad. In a very few years there will be plenty of American- stock for every one, making of dire results ulas, now complef their bloom, mm excellent little pl:lnn': ) for lining the garden walks or for planting in little clumps in the fore- ground of larger plants. Literally a mass of flowers, these primulas make quite a show, despite their small size. In the larger estate the primula is a favorite subject for naturalizing in open woodland or along paths. All the hardy primulas are excellent plant material for the rock garden. ‘The red bud, or Judas tree, Cercis Canandensis, is native to this region, may be seen at this season here and there in the open woods. It is a conspicuous component of the natural shrubbery surrounding the Walter Reed Konglul gardens, and may also be seen in Rock Creek Park. At first thought, one might mistake the red bud for an escaped peach tree, but the blooms are of a deeper pink and more lasting. On examination of the blooms one will observe that they resemble pea flowers, the tree being a member of the legume family, which]:ncludu the clovers, peas, of powdered lead arse- beans and alf: © gained by early planting of tender species; in fact, damage is more likely | 81 w.

NEW YORK, April 26—The Chris- tian Herald's annual religious census for the United States, released last night | for publication, showed an increase of 300,000 in the membership of American Christian denominations in 1929, com- pared with an increase of 1,000,000 in registered a loss of 2,440 for the Methodist group, the first re- ported since the Civil War. The Meth- odist Episcopal Church, however, the oldest of the group, reported a net ioss of nearly 25,000 members. The Metho- dist Episcopal Church South reported a substantial gain, and others in the group helped to make up part of the loss. The Baptist group of 15 bodies re- ported a total gain of 53,333, while the Roman Catholics reported gains of 77,307, compared with 360,153 for 1928.

C., APRIL 27, 1930—PART O LIBRARY EXHIBITS WASHINGTON’S CHURCH HISTORY IN PICTURES Houses of Worship Attended by Presidents Are Shown as They Are and as Interesting glimpses of the history of ‘Washington churches may be obtained from a collection of pictures now on exhibition by the Washington division of the Public Library in the second- floor lobby of the central building at Eighth and K streets. Here are shown the churches at- tended by the Presidents. At St.John's, Sixteenth and H streets, James Madi- son, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson and many later Exec- utives were among the Presidents who crossed Lafayette Square to attend church. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe worshiped in Old Christ Church, Navy Yard. Presidents Jackson, Polk, Pierce and Cleveland attended services at the old First Presbyterian Church. Adams Divided Allegiance. John Quincy Adams appears to have divided his church allegiance and is listed as attending the New York Ave- nue Presbyterian Church and All Souls’ Unitarian, as well as the Episcopal St. John’s. Jackson, too, sought spiritual comfort at the New York Avenue Pres- rian, as did Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. Benjamin Harrison was a worshiper at the Church of the Cove- nant, while President Hayes went to the Foundary Methodist Episcopal Church. Both President Grant and President ‘Two_ officers of the local Naval Re- serve have been authorized to take 15 | days of training duty, begining May 10, next. One of them, Lieut. Comdr. P. D. Johuston, formerly attached to the Fleet Reserve of the 1st Battalion here, has been ordered to report aboard the Battleship Nevada at New York, when that vessel arrives there with the battle fleet. The other one is Ensign Gordon Reed who has been ordered to duty aboard the Destroyer W. B. Preston. He also will join the vessel at New York. Tsuni Kano, officers’ cook, first-class, has been retired, upon completion of 30 years service in the Regular Establish- ment and the Reserve. The following enlistments have been |reported: Leon F. Williams, seaman, first-class, assigned to the 1st Aviation Division VN-6R; Charles E. Gambrill, seaman, second-class, assigned to the 3d Fleet Division; James L. Lantz, sea- man, second-class, assigned to the.lst Fleet Division, and Leon A. Young, mess attendant, first-class, assigned to the 134 Fleet Division. ‘The attention of all officers of the Re- serve has been invited to a book about to be published by Comdr. H. H. Frost, U. 8. N, entitled “On a Destroyer's Bridge.” The Navy Department, in an- nouncing the publication, says that dur- ing a period of more than four years of destroyer command, Comdr. Frost kept a daily record of the situations that came up, and from these, has compiled |a most interesting and instructive book that would be of immense value to offi- cers serving or expecting to serve aboard a destroyer. As the local organization is being trained particularly for service aboard a destroyer should it be necessary to call it to the colors, it was pointed out that t:: book will be of special interest to them.

Naval Reserve so is sufficient reason for dropping an officer from the Reserve. ‘The Naval Reserve Division of the Navy Department is urging all officers to take the correspondence course in navigation which the bureau offers. It points out that there are two courses, the B course for beginners and the A course for these having experience in navigation. These courses are said to be open to any officer in the Reserve and to enlisted men intending to take an examination for commission. Of- cers of the Merchant Marine Reserve are especially urged to take either of these courses as it is felt that this will be of great assistance to them in their own work. The bureau also points out that all officers should feel free to con- sult with the officer-in-charge of the course regarding any matters relating to navigation whether they are taking the course or not. A total of 29 enlisterd men from the Naval Reserve have received appoint- ments to the Naval Academy since the enactment of the law authorizing the appointment from the Reserve of 25 each year. Starting with two appoint- ments in 1926, there has been a gradual increase. The department points with interest to the fact that only one of those appointed has been found defi- has never filled its quota, the bureau says that the obvious difficulty in the Reserve _would be done away with if clent in studies.

Local Naval Reserve officers for some months have been discussing plans for trying to obtain funds with which to construct an armory for the local bat- talion to replace the very unsatisfactory quarters at the Washington Navy Yard, which are very crowded and entirely unsuited for the purpose. The Navy De- partment has just called attention to the new armory constructed by the State of Illinois far the naval contingent. It will be jointly used by the Illinois State Militia and the Pifth and Sixth Battal- ions of the Naval Reserve of the Ninth Naval District. This armory, the de- partment reports, was built at an ex- pense of more than $350,000, and is one of the most modern and up-to-date edi- fices of its kind in the country. The structure includes a swimming tank, shooting gallery, large mess hall, divi- sion headquarters and quarters for the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign ‘Wars and other patriotic organizations. It is said to be excellently located for embarkation on cruising well as on small vessels, and is cnnvexi’mtxy located to_the business district. In taking over the armory the Chi- cago Reserve has vacated U. 8. 8. Commodore, which has jong served these units as an armory. It is a 75- year-old wooden hulk, now embedded high and dry on the beach, and has been offered for sale. It probably will be moved as soon as its present loca- tion interferes with Chicago's park system. NEW SPEEDY LINER ON MAIDEN VOYAGE Santa Clara Is Fastest Ship Ever in Service Between U. S. and South America. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 26.—The turbo- electric Grace liner Santa Clara, the fastest ship ever put in service between the United States anc South America, started on her maiden voyage yesterday from New York to Valparaiso, Chile. She is capable of making the run to Santiago in 16 days, as against the previous record of 21 days. The Santa Clara was made possible by the Marine act of 1928, giving Gov- ernment ald to merchant ship con- struction. In discussing the new greyhound of the Grace Line, D. S. Igleheart, presi- dent of W. R.

He has not returned here yet from Gross Schwuelper, in Hanover, an estate be- longing to Baroness Mahrenholz, mother of his daughter-in-law. No offi¢ial celebrations of any kind were planned in honor of the event, although the Prussian mini struck off a medal in gold, silver and bronze, in- scribed “Reichs President von Hinden- burg. 1925 to 1930.” ‘The President, whose term of office i for seven years, will be 83 years ole next October 10. The press of every political complex- jon except Communist and Fascist car- ried editorials today on the President’s fifth anniversary. All agreed that he was a man of unimpeachable character, a symbol of devotion to duty and de- voted in the extreme to the fatherland. The papers pointed out that since the President's office was political it was necessary for them sometimes to criti- cize his official acts, but that this made no difference in their affection for Ger- many’s “Grand Old Man.” __FARM AND GARDEN. _ Save Money on New QUALITY CHICKS All Leghorns .$11.00_per 100 Barred, Whil P ma- zed to zed into t form for your lawn Iy safe, will for your prof ‘Ij ered price sl .$3.00'each H St. NE. “Baughgro” is easy to use—Dry -- Clean and Odorless
