(Continued From First Page.)
Public and Miss Joanna Public to
crowd you off the old herring bone
brick and stone-flagged paths, almost
onto your newest and most prodi
giously tall and brilliant tulips, or
even against the sacred arms of
Great-great-grandfather Bluenose's
ancient boxwood hedges? Would you,
even if you had had a garden only for
a few years, and were just beginning
to get it into a state approaching
youthful perfection?
Charity Will Be Aided
By Tours.
Well, not every one would. But
for sweet charity's sake, through the
old-established Georgetown Children's
Committee, a good many do, including
- the former United States Ambassador
to the Argentine and Mrs. Robert
Woods Bliss, Mr. and Mrs. James
Roosevelt, Miss Frances S. Sortwell,
Mrs. Anne Archbold and others,
whose old Georgetown gardens are
among those that will be on view on
April 30.
There are several things that save
the day for the owners of the beauti
ful gardens, whose charmed paths are
thus opened to the public. For one
thing, people who love gardens usually
are pretty nice, and some of them
form rather satisfactory garden deco
rations themselves. In fact, ever
4 since the days before the nursery
rhymes were written gardens have
quite generally been graced with fair
maids, in a row or otherwise. And
oh. how many a one of them, both
before and since the famous '•Hang
ing Gardens” of the ancient Eastern
capital, has been built by a lover to
form a heart-comforting setting for
a beloued woman's beauty!
So, the presence of people being
really a vital element in a garden, per
haps it is one of the great pleasures
of the year for some of these garden
owners to think that on this day,
when just as each garden owner feels
that his garden is at the very height
of its springtime beauty, you and I
and thousands of others who love gar
dens have on these two spring after
l neons the privilege of enjoying and
making our own these family pleasure
grounds that represent generations of
unstinted care.
Smaller Gardens
Equally Beautiful.
And no one is likely to overlook the
lovely smaller gardens of Georgetown.
In the annual garden tours they have
k always been among those most uni
versally enjoyed.
When you return from seeing these
gardens on April 30 or May 7, back
of your shining eyes you will carry
for life a series of charming pictures
that no subsequent misfortunes or de
pressions or recessions can ever erase.
And garden lovers are marking down
with red pencils on their calendars that
on next Saturday. April 30, the
Georgetown Garden Pilgrimage is on.
The gardens that will be open on
Saturday afternoon, April 30, from
1:30 to 7 o'clock, are as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss.

NOTE ON COD LIVER OIL
Fisheries Bureau Finds Other
Fish Have Higher Content.
Cod liver oil, that sine qua non of
baby’s diet, isn’t what it’s been
cracked up to be as a vitamin source,
according to recent experiments made
at the Bureau of Fisheries. The liver
oil of salmon has better than seven
times more Vitamin A; of swordfish,
100 times more of both A and D; of
black sea bass, 50 times more D and
300 times more A; and of tuna, 300
times more A and 500 more D!—Tha

we tried to get a thousand coats, but some manufacturers were still holding on, as our buyers and New
York office representatives went through the market last week preparing for this sale and that makes
these values even more remarkable. For every coat is one that was selling at the regular prices stated

value at its regular price—and
