This map Is intended merely as a base to which may be added any kind of special Information desired: The shore line Is compiled from the most recent coast and • geodetic survey charts. State names and boundaries, principal rivers, capitals, and the larger cities In the dlffernt states are also embodied. The map Is of special Interest from the fact that It Is based on the same system of projection as that employed by the armies of the allied forces in the military operations In France. To meet those requirements and at the request of the army, special publica tions were prepared by the coast geo detic survey. Many methods of projection have been designed to solve the difficult problem of representing a spherical surface on a plane* As different pro jections have unquestionable merit as well as equally serious defects, the announcement states, any region to be mapped should be~ made the subject of special study and that system of pro Jectlon adopted which will give the best results for the area under consid eration.

The bureau of educa tion of the Interior department has enlisted the “United States school garden nrtny,” with 2.0U0.000 members. The agricultural department Is trying to prevent the Interior department from getting un appropriation to carry on the work and is endeavoring to gobble up the whole army. Ruker of Cali fornia read a letter from Secretaiy Houston of the agricultural depart* ment assuming ownership of these 2.000.000 boys and girls. Baer of North Dakota got the floor and said, among other things: "The bureau of education has a Jepnrtment cnlled the ‘United States school gnrden army.* .Now, this Is the army .that includes the 2,000.000 children as members, and I think the secre tary of agriculture in his letter to the gentleman from Californio, when he mentions these 2,000,000 children, must refer to the children In the United States school garden army and not to the agricultural department. .“I do apt think that this school-garden movement should come under'the department of agriculture. I believe it should be under the bureau of educa tion. It is purejy an educational matter. School gardening is being token into the currlcujura of our schools today. We are spending $200,000 In the bureau of education for this great work. “Reports say the school garden army connected with the bureau of edu cation has 2,000,000 children enrolled, and that they are cnrrylng on educa tional work with the teachers, sending out lecturers and putting on pageants throughout the country, and are really getting somewhere. It Is working lu cities over 2,000 In population. ^ v ; , “I think It is time for this congress, which Is talking about economy, to co-ordinate these different activities of school-garden movement under one head in one department, and make one appropriation to take enre of It In one department.” • BIG CONCRETE DRY DOCK AT BALBOA What some public speakers better terminal facilities. iooo OOO STSOHC Nature’* efforts to purify the kelp la Spring.
