Flection is Postponed The election of the officers was to be held this morning but was post poned upon receipt of an invitation from Postmaster General Burleson to visit him which was accepted. It is practically assured that at to night's session the association will de cide to meet at Washington again next year because of the great advantages tp be gained through close communi cation with the seat's of the depart ment.

It had once been a school, iAs the Serbian doctor opened the doors of room after room, a sickening stench of dirt, filthy clothing and alr lessness came out. The windows were all closed. Tile sick—mostly soldiers In the wrecK of their uncleaned uni forms—lay packed closely shoulder to shoulder upon foul straw spread on the floor. There was no sign of dis infectant. Some leaned weakly on their elbows, scratching feebly for ver min; others tossed and chattered In delirium, and others lay whitely still, their eyes half-open, like the dead. "It gets better every day," said the doctor, rubbing his hands. "Two weeks ago we had four hundred here —now there are only eighty-six." He glanced meditatively at the sick men. Jammed so close together that they almost lay upon one another. "Then we were crowded!" —John Reed, in the Metropolitan.

Oct. 20.—At this season many inquiries come to the United States Department of Agricul ture regarding the protection of gar den plants and shrubs during the win ter. Such flowers as peonies and hollyhocks will come up again the fol lowing yea'r if they are properly pro tected during the winter, while othrrs like cannas and dahlias, which are more accustomed to warm climes, must have their roots or bulbs dug up and stored In a cellar. The depart ment's specialists give the following suggestions for "putting the garden to bed": Hardy Perennials Cover • hardy perennials, such as peonies, larkspur, hollyhocks, colum bines, iris, platycodons, and perennial poppies, with a good coating of ma nure or other litter to a depth of 3 or 4 inches, in more southern locali ties this will hold the frost in the ground and keep the plant from a!-, ternately freezing and thawing; in more northern regl)6ns the manure will protect the plant from freezing to a depth that will cut off its water supply., Cannas and Dahlias As soon as the tops of cannas, dahlias, gladiolus, caladlums and sim ilar plants are killed by frost, dig up the koots or bulbs ana store them In a cellat where the temperature will re main] at 55 degrees, and should never ;go below 50 or above 60 degrees. Do | not shake any more earth from the i clumps of cannas and dahlias than Is | necessary in removing them from the ! ground. Place the plants on racks | or in slat boxes so the air may circu late freely through them. No frost must reach the roots nor must they become too warm or dry. Hydrangeas Hydrangeas (semi-herbaceous) In the South will last through the winter out of doors, if properly cared for. The tops should be protected with straw or brush. This may be held In place about the bushes with a little manure or stones. The flower buds of the hydrangea form in the Fall, and this cover will keep them from winter-killing while shielding the bush from winds and sun. In the North, hydrangeas must be taken up. planted In tubs and placed in the cellar. This is generally true of latitudes north of Philadelphia. The shrub known as brugmansla, also called thorn apple, should be treated as is the hydrangea, but they are not hardy nearly so far North. As a rule shrubs should not be trimmed in the Fall. This process is j timely immediately after the blooming period. If this is in the Spring, as In the case of the snowball. If the shrubs bloom in the Fall, as do some hydrangeas, the rose of Sharon, and some lilacs, they should not be cut directly after blooming, but in tne Spring of the following year. Lilacs, snowballs and mock orange should ] be let alone during the winter, being neither trimmed nor covered with straw and manure. Roses Almost all kinds of roses are hardy In the vicinities of Washington. D. C., and St. Louis and to the south of a line drawn between these points. From Washington northward local condi tions influence the successful cultiva tion of certain varieties. Some roses, as the briar and rugosa, need no pro tection. but other varieties, such as the hybrid perpetual?, teas and hy brid teas need special care, particu larly north of the fortieth parallel. Teas and hybrid teas hardly succeed In Chicago, although the hybrid per petuals grow as far North as Canada. All these classes do well on t.-oiig Island and In Boston near the sea •when proper care is given them. These varieties in the vicinity of Washing ton need merely a little manure on the ground to prevent alternate frees ing and thawing. Farther North, however, they should be treated as follows: Cut the tops to within 30 .inches of the ground. Cover the roots with coarse manure or leaves or similar litter. Hold this in place by ever green boughs which also acts as a protection. Brush from deciduous trees or shrubs may be substituted for the evergreen boughs except in the most northern regions. Mounds of earth about six or eight inches in height should be drawn about the base of the rose bushes to keep them from mice. As an added protection against mice, permit the ground to freeze slightly before win ter protection is supplied. In fact, roses should not be protected until after the first light freeze, which may be expected in Washington, D. C., about the first of December, but ear lier farther North. Climbing Roses In the latitude of Philadelphia and farther South, climbing roses usually need no protection during the winter unless they are a particularly tender variety. Farther north, the'se roses need protection similar to that given to the tea and hybrid tea roses. Where It Is possible to do so, re move climbing roses from their sup j ports, and cover the barnches with a little dirt. A little Fall trimming might be desirable to lessen the spare I occupied by the branches on the ! ground. Such side branches as are not to be needed for next season's ' blooming may be cut off. Such cut ting off and shortening of the ends as would otherwise be done in the Spring, may be done in the Fall he fore covering, merely for convenience.

L PURE FOOD SHOW IN FULL SWING Tonight and Tomorrow Are Expected to Break All Rec ords For Attendance The pure food show enjoyed the usual large crowds last night. In deed there has not been an evening since the show opened in Chestnut Street Auditorium that the attendance has not been on the increase. To night and to-morrow night are ex pected to break all records for this and other years. The usual number of baskets of groceries will be given away and there will be music and samples for everybody. To-day a largo delegation of repre sentatives of big manufacturing con cerns from Philadelphia, Wilkes- Barre, New York and other points are making an inspection. So widely known has the Harrisburg show he come that quite frequently the man agers of the enterprise are asked to explain its working details to delega tions of pure food people from other towns and cities. In this as well as in other respects the Harrisburg idea appears to be gaining ground. Women visitors are especially inter ested in the display of confiscated weights and measures shown by Coun ty Sealer Boyer and City Sealer Reel. The two have co-operated to make this display possible and it shows what has been accomplished locally in the matter of fair measure for everybody. An interestirvg booklet gives housewives hints on how to make sure they are being honestly dealt with. Both Mr. Boyer and Mr. Reel have been highly praised for the exhibit. C. F.

Whether or not a new election board can appointed for the second pre cinct of the Sixth ward in view of the board's arrest for alleged election frauds is -questionable.

Having to dress the four seasons, as It were, Is rather a task. | There must be morning things, after | noon attire and evening dress—all in I readiness, like a Christmas tree, be- Ifpre the season enters. Preparing f or j winter means having a wardrobe on ! display quite early In November. But i where? ! Scanning the calendar of events, (Dame Fashion observed that the only smart show in New York, with a lot I going on to attract society mornings, ! afternoons and evenings, will be tho Horse Show at Madison Square Gar den, from November 6 to 12. The fashionable dame consulted Beau Brummel and both agreed nothing could be more satisfactory. First Authentic Styles So the horse show will be the scene of the first public showing of authentic styles for winter. In other years Paris set the day and cut the cake for each season's feminine feast of fashions. But the lengthening war abroad has made It necessary for the most famous couturiers there to come to America, since fashion's wealthy de votees on this side cannot safely go abroad to revel In the latest dres* re finements from the skilled and gifted hands of the fashion makers of the French capital. Uondon, the center , for men's fashions, is equally, ab sorbed with war, so the creators of styles for men have been no less ap preciative of the chance offered to keep alive their art by having tha I winter styles, of London origin, ns heretofore, launched in New York at the Horse Show in the Garden. Practically all the fashionable folks who take the trip across the big pond ; each year are at home this season, due Ito the hazards of ocean travel. In a, measure, this accounts for the un- I visual preparation for the Horse Show. Also, there is the clrcum j stance that, this year, the Horse Show ■ will complete its week before the 'Opera season begins and these two | fashionable affairs will not be ohllged t,to divide attendance as they did in past ! seasons, owing to conflicting dates® i Well-known New York dressmaking I establishments, including Tjucile, Hick son, Kurzman and others of equal note have been quick to grasp the import ance of a season launched In this city, and a number of the best designern from abroad are now busily engaged in obtaining that indefinable French quality called "atmosphero' in th<i styles being prepared for wear this winter. The style feature of the Horse Show promises to be an Important development in the fashion world, and it is of especial interest as giving New ! York its first experience in having really exclusive advance models worn here in public as is done abroad. Pimples in an Evening Gown Stop Embarrassment From Pim pes.
