2,50 SEE GARDENS DESPITE GRAY SKIES Streets of Georgetown Are Lined With Autos of Flower Pilgrims. Despite the fact that dark eclouds | threatened a downpour, the pilgrimage | to the Georgetown gardens vesterday | afternoon was an unprecedented suc- | cess. Starting just beyond the Dumbarton | Bridge, on Q street, the streets of | Georgetown were crowded with parked cars of garden pilgrims. Not a vestige | of idle curiosity could be detected | among those who gazed with delight | upon the boxwood hedge at Evermay. or who picked their way carefully through the smaller gardens, whose | narrow walks were bordered = with flowers, | Approximately 2,500 persons made | the pilgrimage, many carrying away valuable ideas for personal application. It was apparent that many profession- | als were among the flower enthusiasts. A large number of cars bearing official and congressional tags were seen parked outside of homes whose gardens were opened to the public. Also many faces | prominent in Washington socie cles were recognized. The majority of persons were apparently making an effort to visit each of the two dozen | or more gardens listed on the programs, as they could be seen marking off names of those visited. The exhibition of garden and home- | stead portraits painted by Mrs. Mabel | Hunt Johnson was shown at the home | of Mrs. H. B. Meyer. One could doubly appreciate the paintings after having seen the real blossoms. Although a special number of police was detailed to take care of traffic con- gestion there was little confusion. The funds realized from the pil-| grimage will be used in paying the salary of a welfare worker who, under the auspices of the Georgetown Child Welfare Council, will look after the recreational activities of the small pre- school children of Georgetown's poor ( and needy.

Ireland Bans Grim Film. “The Informer,” a talking picture besed on Liam O'Flaherty’s novel, has been banned Ly the Irish Free State film censor.

Meeting House Here Is Under Way. 4 Because of the increase in the congre- gations of the two present Quaker Meeting Houses {n the District of Columbia, especially the one at Thir- teenth and Irving streets, where Presl- dent and Mrs, Hoover worship, a move- ment is under way to bufld a third and larger meeting house for members of the Society of Friends in this city. Announcement has been made ‘that a tract of land has been acquired at the corner of Florida avenue, Decatur and Phelps places, as a site of this proposed edifice. The meeting house will be of A general nature and architecture typical of the Friends meeting houses of the early days. The committee in charge will meet in about 10 days to select an architect and to decide upon major construction matters. In the negotiations for the purchase of the tract, L. P, McLachlen, president of the McLachlen Banking Corporation, represented the purchasers, and Shan- non & Luchs, Inc, the sellers of the land, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Tuttle, jr. The 'consideration was not reported. President and Mrs. Hoover have taken no part in this new building movement, other than to make a subscription. The first either of them knew of the project was when representatives of the build- ing committee called at the White House and explained the proposition to Mrs. Hoover and obtained her consent to a subscription.

CHINESE ARE ORDERED TO RESPECT OUTLANDERS Government Bans Calling of Mon- gols and Tibetans Barbarians by Natives. SHANGHAI ()—The people of China have been ordered by the Na- tional government to stop referring to Mongols, Tibetans and Chinese Moham. | medans as barbarians and Tartars. Although Mongolia and Tibet have | been considered a part of the Chinese nation since the beginning of the Man- chu regime, the people have refused to admit that' they are equals. ‘The Manchus regarded the peoples of both tributaries as uncivilized and the Chinese people still refer to them as “Chang Mal” (barbarians of Tibet) or “Yee Jen” (southern Tartars), The government wants to stop this. ‘The National order is based on the doctrine of equality for the five tribes of China preached by the late Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. Its immediate cause was the use of the popular terms in some official documents from the commission on Mongolian and Tibetan affairs. The order said: “The use of such words is contrary to the teachings of our late leader, who says that the five tribes of China, viz., the Chinese, the Mongols, the Man- churians, the Tibetans and the Chi- nese Mohammedans are all brothers.
