How About the Liquor Law in the
ailAll

Editor Sta.:-Permit me. through your col
uInns. 10 call the attention of the presiding OIL
GERS OF both houses OF Congress to page fS5, ser.
-. Of the Constitution. Rules and Manual of the
L. s senate and House OF Representatives,
which reads as follows:
NO spiritUouS or malt liquors, or wines shall
he offered for sale, exhibited or kept within the
Capitol. or in any rooms ~ 'it' uuihuHg con
nected herewith. or in the public grounds ad-
jacent thereto. And it shall be the duty OF the
Sergeant alarms OF the two houses, under the
supervision OF the presiding officers thereof re-
spectiveiF. 10 enforce the foregoing provisions
And any officer or emplOye of either House who
shall In any manner violate or cOnnive at the
violation or this rule, shall be dismissed from
office"
This language Is 50 exceedingly plain that IT
is hardly possible 10 place any miSconstruction
on any part OF 1t. My object IN writing this is
10 call the attention OF the Vice President and
the speaker TO the rules, as they must be un

The water Supply Question Again.
Editor Staf:-Anent our scant water Sl,ppIy:
am familiar with the Potomac from the Chesa-
peahe TO where it is mere trckle and Know
something OF Rock Creek. which believe is the
plreSt water that flows in the District Instead
Oh meters 10 dole water, what would be the
objection TO damming Rock Creek above Bright
WOOD ana increasing our water supply to the
extent OF its flow? By a little pocket instru-
ment am convinced that dam and reservoir
mile or TWO above BrightwOOd would give us
more fall than does the dam and reservoir we
now use. The land to be condemned and used
is cheap and although the supply is not very
extensive, II would be a very material assistance
10 the northern and western part OF our city
The day is not distant when our water supply
must be increased; ergo, wOald it not be well
for our engineering friends to think OF Rock
Creek? AQUA
