Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, plucked from an active and wide ranging professional life, has been in Washington ever since the world war and there Is no present indication on his part of a desire to live anywhere else in the world.

It was predicted of Mr. Hoover that he, too, soon would tire of government restriction and red tape and all that sort of thing and would kick the bucket of official life Into smithereens. But he did nothing of the sort. He has remained in he cabinet under two Presidents. Charles Evans Hughes, who first came to Washington as an associate Justice of the supreme court and eventually as secretary of state, found It exceedingly difficult to tear himself away from his duties at the state department a little more than a year ago.

He hss found excuse after excuse to come back to' Washington since then and spend a week or more. Hia law practice brings him increasingly before the bench where once he sat. William S. Butler, of Massachusetts, busy manufacturer, chairman of the Republican national committee, and what-not, was appointed to the senate something more than a year ago and this year is going to make the fight of his life to remain in Washington. He Is prepared to go the whole limit.

He will have the President squarely behind him and the issue in Massachusetts wl be squarely a test of standing by the President the favorite son of the old Bay State and the first New Englander to occupy the White House in something like eighty years. Frank B. Kellogg, BecVy of state, is another who has become enthralled with Washington life and would not know what to do without It. Mr. Kellogg first came to Wash- Ington as a famous "trust buster.

He liked it so well he got hlmstff elected to the senate. After his term there he went to England as ambassador at the court of St. James' and then returned to Washington to take his present post as head of the Coolidge cabinet. These are but a few of the statesmen who find life in Washington so inviting and so compelling that they refuse to quit it. There must be something to the old place after all.

THE BAfeftCl. FIREMAN WAS REALLY IM -rusr RiWVBHt LUNCH PfifiM (Br TIm Amactsd rim) NEW YORK, June 1. The mar riage of Miss Elinor M. Patterson of Chicago, who left social activities for the stage, to Russell S. Codman.

Jr. of Boston on May 25, was an nounced tonight by the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Medill Patterson of Chicago.

The marriage took place at Put nam, but the announcement made through the New York Daily News, of which Mr. Patterson la part owner, gave no further details. Mr. Codman, whose father Is a financier, is a graduate of Harvard University of the class of 1919. Mrs.

Codman made her stage debut under the direction of the Chicago presentation of "The Miracle," alternating in the role with Lady Diana Manners. PUTNAM, June 1. Miss Elinor M. Patterson and Russell S. Codman, Jr of Boston, were married in the parsonage of the Methodist Episcopal Church here on May 25 toy the Rev.

Nathan B. Burton, pastor of the church. Rev. Mr. Burton said tonight that the couple whom he did not know had asked that no publicity be given, their marriage.

They arrived at tho parsonage alone shortly before o'clock la the evening and as far aa could be learned only the pastor's wife was a witness to the ceremony. Each gave a Boston address. They had intended marrying later in the summer, but the bride ex pected to go to Europe and they wanted to get married before she left, the pastor was told. No information concerning the license was obtainable from the town clerk tonight. His records, he said.

were unavailable until tomorrow. USE NITRATE OF SODA ON CABBAGE Ivan Morris, a truck farmer of Terre Haute, said that If he had known fifteen years ago of the results to be obtained through the use of Nitrate of Soda on cabbage he would be worth dollars where he has pennies now. While attending a short course at Purdue University he learned of this practice which he said is worth several thousand times the cost of the course to him. He is now a yearly visitor at Purdue. He is one of those, farmers who can always learn something from the other fellow.

The plan worked out by Mr. Morris for applying the nitrate of soda calls for 20 to 300 pounds per acre. This amount is put on in three applications beginning with the setting of the pltftts and then at intervals of two or three weeks. The fertilizer should be worked into the so around the plants. Avoiding direct contact of the nitrate crystals the leaves and roots is a safeguard against injury to those parts.

It is always a good plan to put on nitrafW of soda Just previous to a good rain. Unless it is dissolved and carried downward to the roots of the plant, the maximum returns will not be received. As an illustration of the powerful effect of this immediately available form of nitrogen, a chock row of plants which had not been treated was observed to be but one-third the size of the plants in the treated row.

Wheat turned tapward In price here today despite an unexpected setback at Liverpool and. notwithstanding beneficial rains. Anxiety over adverse crop developments had much to do with the lifting of values. Chlcag-o closing prices for wheat were Irregular. net lower at advance, with corn io to down, oats, unchanged to lo off, adn provisions showing: 17 to 86c gain.

Active buying on the part of houses With eastern connections was a notable late feature In the wheat mar-kef. At first the trend was downward owing to the sharp decline at Liverpool. On the other hand Chicago unofficial estimates of the 1126 domestic yield of wheat proved to about as had been expected and made a bullish showing as compared with the outlook a month ago. According to statements by Kansas experts, the wheat crop has been fco-ing backward dally and fourteen counties will fail to yield more llian three bushels to the acre. Active demand for cash wheat at Kansas City, said to be the best In ten days, counted also asa stimulating influence.

While politicians high and politicians low are seeking for "Issues" In the coming congressional campaign, many keen observers have come to the conclusion that the affair in resolving Itself Into nothing more than a scramble on the part of senators and representatives to continue their winter residence In Washington. Of course, It already is decreed that a large number will not come back. Republican senators, for instance, are suffering greater havoc in their own party primaries than there was reason to believe and so long before election time It is decreed that the fascination of Washington life Is lost to a number of distinguished citlisens of the United States. That this life of Washington is fascinating is evidenced on many sides. It catches and holds within its spell men who might attain to untold riches In other spheres but who prefer to remain In the more or less classic shades of the capital city, content to live the ntodest existence which, is possible on governmental salaries.

Once a statesman gets a real taste of Washington life he la loath to leave it. There la President Coolidge, for instance. The President has told a number of his intimate friends that he finds. life in the White House extremely comfortable. He frankly has said he never enjoyed such true comfort before.

As vice-president, Mr. Coolidge was offered an official residence but he declined It on the ground that his own salary was Insufficient for the upkeep and he not feel like asking congress to make an appropriation for the purpose. Tate eventually led Mr. Coolidge into the White House, with its atmosphere of ease and unostentatious American luxury and many be lieve he will find it difficult voluntarily to make up his mind to leave the place after 1928. Then there is Mr.

Mellon, of the treasury department. His friend predicted he would not stay in Washington two years. He has been here more than five and has thoroughly enjoyed every moment of his time. CHICKS THAT FEATHER SLOWLY UNPROFITABLE "What makes some of my chicks feather slowly?" This is a popular question coming to the Purdue University Poultry Department at present. "Slow feathering or "naked" chicks are quite common in general purpose broods, such as Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island and sometimes occur in the lighter breeds," says Professor C.

W. Car-rick, head of the poultry department, in answering the question. "Sucll phlplra urn nnllflllv those that lar the vigor necessary to grow rapidly' but chicks may also Decome siuntea from improper feed, chilling, or crowded conditions during the first few weeks of their lives. "Whatever the cause may be, little can be done to make such chickens nrnfltahln if millets, they lay poorly an dare likely to be susceptible to disease. They should be niaritea wun leg bands when five or six weeks old, and marketed aa soon as they reach sufficient size, otherwise they may feather out slowly and be kept in the flock to produce similar chicks nex-t season." By constantly culling out, these low vitality chicks, one can practically eliminate them in the future offspring, according to Professor Carrick.

Many practical suggestions about rearing chicks are given in Extension Bulletin 137 which will be sent upon request to the Purdue Department of Agricultural Extension. WARM WEATHER CROPS NEED ATTENTION NOW Do not set tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers In tho garden until the weather has become constantly warm. Gardeners who plant these crops early, unless'some protection Is givon them by forcing boxes or miniature cold frames, will be disappointed through having their plant checked In growth if not killed by the cool nights, and the crop consequently reduced. It Is better to play safe with the weather and be sure of having a maximum yield, is the suggestion of Purdue University horticulturists. If tho tomatoes aro tall, the best method of planting them is to dig a trough five or six Inches deep, lay the long plants in this trench, and bend the top of the plant up, covering all but a few inches of tho top with soil.

By this plan, roots will form all along tho buried stem and with such a strong root system, a large crop of fruit should ba produced. This method of laying tho plants in a trench is better than digging a deep hole and setting the plants straight since In the former case tho root system wilt bo in the warm upper soil rather than In the colder soil below where root growth would be clow. If tomato plants are to bo staked and this practice Is profitable In the home garden in securing good fruit and economizing space they may be placed two feet apart In the row with rows two and a half to three fr-et apart: but If allowed to grow at will ever the ground, more space Is necessary. Pepper plants may bo set 18 inches and Eggplants two feet apart in the row. Half a dozen Eggplants and a Lib.

PRICE ON HOGS TOP AT $14.45 INDIANAPOLIS, Juno 1. Notwithstanding receipts of 9,000 hogs Tuesday were among the largest of the year thus far prices held steady. This was more surprising in view of the fact that the supply was larger than requirements, leaving about hogs unsold.

Local packers apparently took only about 5,000 hogs and outside orders 1 were not large enough for the rest. Prices ranged from $13.60 to $14.45 with no deviation according to weight. Pigs for slaughter sold usually at $14.50 and pi-ices of cows ranged from $12,00 to $13.00. A loss of 22,000 Is shown in receipts for May, compared with the same month last year, and the total for five months is 207,500 smaller than for the corresponding period a year ago. A decrease is shown every month thus far this year, compared with the corresponding time last year, and the average monthly loss, was 40,000.

It is not generally expected the marketing for the rest of this week will show a shrinkage, but some large comsumers predict the total for the next seven months will be not larger than for the corresponding time last year. Local receipts last June were about 173,000 hogs, 25,000 more than in the month preceding and 19,000 more than the receipts for, July, 1925. In the first week of June a year ago 45,500 hogs were received and there was little net change In prices for the week, which closed at $12,175 to $12.25. Prices for the month of June last year were the lowest in the second week when most sales were at $12.00 to $12.26 and the high time was at the close of the month when most good hogs sold at one price $14.35.

June Stock prices turned reactionary today after en opening display of strength. Heavy calling of bank loans which sent the call money rate to 5 percent, tho highest in over two months, iind the apparent failure of operators on the long side to attract an outside following after a week of steadily rising prices were generally ascribed as the causes of the selling movement. Trading, however, turned dull on the decline the day's salos aggregating only 894,200 shares. Business news over the woek end was mixed in character. The failure of one of the large Florida reat estate development companies, reports of poor retail trado in some sections because of unseasonable weather and the announcement of a cut in high models by a large automobile manu-facturer'contrasted with the publication of several favorable earnings statements, the announcement that sales of two of the leading mail order houses were running well above those of a year ago and reports of a continuation of heavy freight traffic.

Declaration of only the regular dividends today on Mack Trucks and Atchison probably caused some selling by disappointed holders who were looking for special distributions although none was expected In conservative banking quarters. Atchison sold down nearly three points to 137, Mack Trucks also sold down three points to 1101 and then rallied feebly. Heavy realizing sales Impeded operations in the oil shares. Atlantic Refining dropped 8i points to 121, Standard Oil of New Jerspy preferred yielded and most of the others showed mixed fractional changes. Baldwin advanced over a point on the announcement of a largo order from the Atchison Railroad.

Southern Railroad shares received excellent support Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville and Nashville each closed a point or so higher while the Southern Railway showed a small fractional recession at 114 after buying touched 115. Call money renewed at 4 percent, advanced to 41 and thence to 6, the highest rate since the end of March. NEW YORK STOCK NEW YORK, June 1.

CITY TRAFFIC CONGESTION CAUSING BIG MONEY LOSS, SAYS RAILWAY PRESIDENT Great losses in both time and money are being inflicted dally on large cities because of traffic congestion, according to Frank R. Coates, president of the American Electric Railway Association, who is quoted by the Indiana Committee on Public Utility Information. Traffic congestion has become a serious problem because of lack of parking regulations and lack of pro per control of moving vehicles, said Mr. Coates. Two billions of dollars annually is said to be a conservative estimate of the resultant loss.

Realizing that this congestion 13 Increasing, forcible constructive steps should be taken by civic authorities Four of the most useful things that can be done to help the situation are as follows: Cut down the number of vehicles in the streets to the smallest number possible. Divide vehicles along slow and fast-moving lines. Eliminate all parking and unloading of trucks in downtown streets. Give street cars a clear right-of-way. The modern electric railway car, concluded Mr.

Coates, is the most economical user of space of all vehicles In the city streets. It carries eighty per cent of the city's riders. Give it a fair chance to run unmolested by other vehicles and it will prove one of the greatest single aids to the relief of traffic congestion. STAKE TOMATO PLANTS TO GET GOOD YIELDS In the home garden, or when raising tomatoes for the early market, better results will be obtained if tomato plants are pruned and tied to stakes rather than allowing theirt to grow at will over the ground, say members of the horticultural staff at Purdue University. Not only can more plants be set on a given area, since they require less room when tied up, but earlier? cleaner fruit will be produced.

There is less danger from disease, and sun scald will be largely prevented through the shading of the fruit by the upper leaves when the plants are trained to stakes. Tomator plants to be staked may be placed two and one half feet apart in rows three feet apart. This Bpaclng will allow plenty of room for cullvation. Stakes should be at least six feet long, sharpened at one end. and firmly driven into the ground near the base of each plant.

In the home garden other forms of supports than straight stakes may be used. A trellis built of lath, barrel hoops fastened on stakes, and a square lath enclosure are forms commonly used and satisfactory. Prune out all suckers that grow from the axils of the compound leaves, leaving two or three main stems. These main stems should be tied to the stakes every foot or so, that they may be strongly supported. Either soft cord, raffia, or pieces of cloth should be used, since firmer material may Injure the stems.

When the vines have grown to the limit of the stakes, the tops may he pinched off thus throwing the strength of the plants to the development of fruit already set. Pruning of the "suckers" will be necessary frequently throughout the season, as well as the tying of the plants to the stakes as they grow higher..
