JRT IN COMMERCE | FEDERATION TOPI Business Men Discuss Sub- ject at Annual Session of Organization. The place of art in commerce was discussed before the Twenty-first An- nual Convention of the American Fed- eration of Arts this morning by several prominent business men at the closing morning meeting in the council cham- ber of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Robert P, Lamont, Secretary of Com- merce, opened the meeting with an address of welcome. There has not been much of an “art atmosphere” at the Commerce Bepartment since his of- floial residence in Washington, Mr. Zamont said, but he told the delegates that his 30 years' experience in busi- n. caused him to feel that there . should be a closer association between and the arts.

ELIOT, 24, National Capital Park and Planning Commission. < ‘Washington is situated in & natural garden spot of the Upper Potomac, which since its first dis- covery has been renowned for its magnificent physical setting and for the luxuriance of its tree and plant life. It is then only natural that ‘Washingtonians should concern themselves with home improve- ment and the cultivation of gardens, and it seems to me alto- gether fitting that their attention be called especially to this aspect of Clean-Up week activity. It is surprising what can be accomplished with only slight ex- penditure of money and effort. A few hours spent in the front yard and in the garden during these beautiful May months, planting seeds or flowers, yields rich re- turns in beauty, both to the homeowner and to the passer-by. Although the immediate aim of Clean-Up week is practical, it need not be altogether prosaic if we combine with it a plea for more attractive front yards and for more flowers and well placed shrubs in our gardens. Washing- ton is a beautiful city; more at- tention to gardening will make it still more beautiful. Observe Clean-Up week, May 19-24, 1930.

On the second day out the group had thrown a wreath into the sea in memory of the war dead who lie beneath the waves, There had been the usual Sunday services at sea for all creeds and as much entertainment as the mothers wished. It was when they finally reached the shores of France where their sons had died that they felt most acutely the emotions of grief and tenderness that had sent them upon their long pil- | grimage.
