POLISHING the HOUSE
"A BUSY SCENE IN PROGRESS AT

EVERYTHING IN CONFUSION
Carpenters and Cleaners Have Turned
the Interior Topsy-Turvy-No
New Carpet This Year

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-(Specal Cor
respondence to The Herald) This is Uncle
Sans annual house-cleaning. A little army
OF workers are as busy as bees unrolling con-
gressional carpets, shaking congressional
portieres and irreverently beating the seats
of congressional chairs. Janitor II. G. Water
house of the house of representatives comes
from that little extreme right-hand corner
of the United States where cleanliness is ac-
counted one with godliness. His duty is to
see that the benches are all in good condition,
the members desks revarnished and the
brass ratings polished like mirrors. Visitors
to the capitol during Uncle Sans cleaning
season, who are familiar with the house and
senate in their normal condition, would be
thoroughly dienchanted could they see those
dignified halls in their present state. Stripped
Of their glory, their carpets, their green
baize covers and their famous occupants,
they present scene of devastation and
desolation in lively contrast to their char
acteristic air of hubbub and excitement.
Everything movable has been taken from
the house, even to the very hands of the
clock which ticks above the speakers desk.
