WASHINGTON NOTES. 



The Ladies Auxiliary of the Florists' 

 Club of Washington was recently 

 formed when a number of ladies met 

 at the home of Mrs. George C. Shaffer 

 and elected Mrs. George H. Cooke as 

 president and Mrs. Elmer C. Mayberry 

 as secretary and treasurer. This 

 meeting was devoted mainly to dis- 

 cussing the need for such an organi- 

 zation and the election. The ladies 

 will get together monthly and in addi- 

 tion many social affairs may be looked 

 for. The organizers of the club are 

 Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Mayberry. Mrs. 

 Shaffer, Mrs. Oehmler, Mrs. Stauff, 

 Mrs. Kimmel and Miss Waters. 



Fire last week threatened to de- 

 stroy one of the large warehouses oc- 

 cupied by F. W. Bolgiano & Co., on 

 Golden street, near Tenth street, 

 Southeast. It is believed that the fire 

 was set by boys, a number having 

 been seen to leave the building carry- 

 ing baskets which they had stolen and 

 which were later recovered by the po- 

 lice. The damage amounted to over 

 $500. 



The Department of Agriculture an- 

 nounces that Cuba and Trinidad have 

 complied with the inspection and cer- 

 tification requirements of that depart 

 ment under the Plant Quarantine 

 Act and have been added to the list 

 of other countries which have pre- 

 viously done likewise.
