PLAN AGTIVE YEAR FOR HEALTH CAMP Association for Prevention of Tuberculosis Will Care for Many Children. ‘The Children’s Health Camp, main- tained at Fourteenth and Upshur streets by the Association for the Pre- vention of Tuberculosis, will be oper- ated as early and as long as possible this season with day and night care to the limit of its capacity for some of the 400 children listed with the Health Department as in need of special sana- torium care. The committee in charge of the children’s camp is composed of Dr. J. W. Peabody, superintendent of the Tuberculosis Hospital; Walter S. Pratt, jr., who is the treasurer of the Tuber- culosis Association, and Mrs, Ernest R. Grant as chairman, who for several years has been closely identified with the sanatorium project as chairman of the children’s sanatorium committee. ‘While Dr. Peabody will have general supervision of the camp, as in previous seasons, the active camp superintend- ent will be Miss Grace V. Maguire, who comes from Albany, N. Y. where she is taking a course in medicine. Miss Maguire has taken degrees at both the New York State Teachers’ College and at Columbia University, after which she held a post at the East Carolina ‘Teachers’ College of North Carolina in of the girl students’ physical and recreational activities. An effort will be made to select the children most in need of care among those making applications for admis- sion to the camp.

Engineering Company phone THE ESTATES ARE USING POPULAR DOGWOOD Ricker Gives Planting Hints to Perpetuate Flowering Trees Here. Flowering dogwood is being used for ornamentation of estates, parks, lawns, | ! gardens and roatisides more than ever before, according to P. L. Ricker of the ‘Wildflower Preservation Society. While it had been planted to some ex- tent in past years, it was not until re- cently that it became more popular for decorative purposes. According to a survey just completed by Mr. Ricker there was more new dog- 0od planted in Washingie® and vicin- ity last year than ever g re. ‘While nearly all of the new plantings are from small trees: which have been |raised in nurseries, Mr. Ricker points | ,out that the dogwood ean readily be | grown from seed planted in the Fall. In some cases, however, he said, “the seed does not germinate until after the | second Winter. Cuttings 4 to 6 inches long should be taken in the Autumn after the leaves fall and before the mid- dle of December for best results.” hese cuttings,” Mr. Ricker said,| “may be rooted in sand and transplant- | ed after the roots are well developed. ! Seedlings can often be found in quenti- | SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. == { ties along fences.” Pink dogwoods, it was explained, h: “originated as natural wild sports, a are occasionally found in the woods They can be propagated only from cut- . | tings, or grafting or budding on regulurl dogwood stock. Most of this work hlc\ been done in European nurseries, and ' American stocks are usually small and high priced. Wild dogwoods are occa- sionally found with flowers 4 to 4% inches in diameter. A cross of the pink dogwcod on one of these large flowered forms, with subsequent color selections for vegetative propagation, would give American nurserymen something far ahead of any dogwood now on the mar- ket. Despite the large plantings in public parks and in private grounds there is | still much need of conservation of the flowering dogwood, Mr. Ricker points out, because of many persons who un- thinkingly strip trees of their blossoms and ruin the tree.
