PLAN.PROMOTES CHILD WELFARE Monday Evening Club Pro- gram to Make Standards Here Second to None. Child welfare standards in the Dis- | trict would be developed second to none | in the ‘country under a proposed five- | year social program adopted by the Monday Evening Club. ‘The plan calls for a thorough study of existing facilities for the health,. care and protection of children and the ex- tent to which they meet the necds as contemplated by the McLeod resolution approved by the House Committee on | District Affairs. Committees will urge | the organization to sponsor immediate action looking toward accomplishment of the following objectives: “Broader interpretation of the law providing home care for dependent children (children's allowances or moth- ers' pensions), as recommended by the recent report of a study of family wel- fare work made by the Family Welfare | Association of America under auspices of the Council of Social Agencies of ‘Washington.

They might logically receive the mext most difficult types of noninfectious childhood tuberculosis and children needing special care for malnutrition and other defects.” Other suggestions of a miscellaneous nature will include: “Strengthening of the school attend- ance department through additional ap- propriations and further development in ihe depariment of the type of service known as social case work.

Y., Apri! 25 (#).—A bill | authorizing' John G. Sargent, former | At General of the United States, 1o, law in the courts of Ne bar examinations was vetoed by Gov.| Roosevelt today. The Governor cited the rule of the | Court of Appeals that an attorney who | bad practiced law five years in another | State might tice in New York with- | out examination if he has been a resi- | dent of the State not less than six | months. | “The Bar Associations of New York | have made the suggestion, with which | 1 heartily agree,” the Governor wrote in | a memorandum, “that specia! legislation | in regard to admission to the bar is| bad as & matter of principle and should | be disapproved.” Paper Company Official Dies.

The agricultural ex- | prun periment e t stations have found these quite as effective as the less concen- trated forms, but have hesitated to rec- ommend their use because.of the hazard of burning the plants. However, if used in equivalent quantities the hazard would be no greater in either case, After applying fertilizer to the lawn it is advisable to sprinkle thoroughly to wash the chemicals off the foliage. ‘With conservative and careful use mod- ern fertilizers wjll give the user satis- factory returns, but with careless use are apt to bring him disappointment. TOMATOES URGED FOR THE GARDEN Some time ago mention was made of the potato as a plant that combines at- Its cousin, the tomato, also answers these requirements, especially if grown on a trellis or on individual supports. As & matter of fact, the tomato wis accepted as an ornamental before peo- ple would use its fruit. It was believed to be poisonous and a cause of disease. Presentrday dietitiAns have shown that the tomato is not only a good food but is a preventive of disease. S plants do not bear as much fruit as unpruned recumbent plants, but they do bear more early fruit and finer, cleaner fruit. And if it should happen to be a rainy Summer, staked plants are much less apt to lose fruits by decay than are those plants lying on the soll. In a way a trellis is better than a stake because more stems can L* handled per plant. Pruning cuts down total yield. Concerning varieties for the home garden, Ponderosa is a favorite. The fruit has few seeds, is solid, so that it |the dry Summer of 1930 had no bad ! slices nicely, and the flavor is excellent. | effects on this sturdy group of plants. | Bonny Best and John Baer are good tomatoes, better for canning than Pon- | shape. Stone and Marglobe are excel- | lent late varieties. . For those who like | their plants at the seed store and have | no great selection as to variety. Pon-‘ derosa, Stone and Bonny Best are usually present in the seed store. To- matoes are beset by certain destructive | diseases which cause the plant to col- lapse before fruiting. Marglobe was developed by the Department of Agri-| culture as a disease-resistant variety | and is now grown in many sections where disease is prevalent. It is worthy | of a place in the home garden. | ‘Two great groups of plants, Prunus and Pyrus, furnish us with most of our | cultivated fruits and many of our orna- mental trees. Take the Prunus group, with its cherrles, plums, almonds and | peaches—what a tremendous contribu- | tion this genus makes to our gardens!| From the ornamentai viewpoint alone we would not like to spare the flowering | cherries with their wealth of double and single ‘flowered forms nor the flowering almonds which are now gracing many a front lawn about the city. The number of species of Prunus is truly remarkable, the original forms being scattered | throughout the northern regions of Europe, Asia and North America. There are several species of plum and cherry native to North America, and long be- fore the white man arrived the native inhabitants drew on the wild plums and cherries for food and appreciated their Springtime burst of beauty. Birds have undoubtedly played a major role in distributing those species | Which bear fruits, and natural crossing | has given rise to many hybrid forms, 5o that a botanical study of the genus is very difficult. Many of the wild forms of plums and cherries sprout readily froma the roots, giving rise to veritable thickets, especially evident in open areas from which fires have removed dominant forest trees. Improved horticultural varieties, such as the Jap- anese cherries about’ the Tidal Basin, are propagated by budding, which ac- counts for their uniformity of appear- ance and time of flowering. ‘The narcissus is a wonderful flower— hardy, permanent, beautiful and re- markably diverse in size and form.

Others pre- fer the large, pompous-looking trumpets with their brilliant, ilhawy yellow blooms. The hardy garden primulas are now coming into bloom. And thess little plants are truly hardy, as they stood the drought of last Summer and, in their weakened condition, the Winter Just passed, With their profusion of bloom and rosettes of green leaves, these little plants are unexcelled for use | in the rock garden and for edging gar- den beds. The fruit trees seem to have with- ! |stood the hard battle for water last | Summer and have come back with a heavy bloom. An explanation may lie | ing the latter part of THE GARDENER - the drought may have acted much as a root, &Hllll“l by stoppinj . Root 5 has long been to throw vegetative plants into blooming. The season has arrived when practi- cally all the vegetables and flowers can be planted out of doors without serious danger of frost, although all hazard will not be past until after the middle of May.

By the Associated Press. SANTIAGO, Cuba, April 25.—An Angry mob yesterday tried. to seize Julio Heredia, a soldier-aide of Maj. Arsenio Ortlz, ousted military super- visor of Orinte province, after the sol- dier had been arrested in connection with the allegedly unwarranted killing of 44 persons. Ortiz, who is among a score of persons for whom warrants were issued, has gone to Havana. Heredia was being led to the city jail when the excited mob gathered around him. After he was placed in a cell the crowd demanded it he be turned over to it for punishment. They fi dispersed after peing assured by au- thorities that justice would be meted out to the soldier if charges were sub- stantiated that he had personally exe- cuted several persons for Oritz. Later orders were received from the capital to put Oriente province under rvision again, with Maj. Ramon Cabrales, commander of the Sai ‘visor.
