NEW CABINET PLACE.
1t Will Be Called Department Of
Commerce and Labor.
President WashingtOn's Official Fam
lily Had Four Members. Presi-
dent ROoseveIt's VIII Soon
Have Nine.

The passage by the senate of the bill
TO create a department of commerce
and labor, with its head TO be MEM
ber of the cabinet, is interesting as
historical development, as well as
sociological fact. Only four officials
a secretary Of state, secretary of the
treasury, a secretary of war and an
attorney general sat at the council
table of President Washington. The
head of the war department at that
time had charge of the political end Of
the navy, as well as of the army. y de-
partment of the navy, however, was
created in l79S, during John Adams
administration, at time that war
seemed to be imminent with France
on account of that country's assaults
on American commerce and outrage
Gus treatment of American ministers.
The fifth cabinet post thus appeared.
1t was not until the nineteenth CEN
tury had well advanced, says the st.
Louis GlobeDemocrat, that another
cabinet department was established.
BY the time that Jackson entered of
fee in 1929 the post office business OF
the country had grown 10 be so large
that the man in charge of it, who had
been a mere bureau official before that
time, was advanced TO cabinet rank,
and his field of work became one Of
the great executive departments.
When William T. Barry, at the begin
ming of JacksOn's first term, took Of
fee, six persons belonged to the presi-
dents official family. The settlement
! of the west and the growth in the gov
/ ernment's general activities rendered

| interior essential, and Thomas Ewing
| took his place at its head in 1919, at
the beginning of Taylor's term as
president. As a recognition of the vast

Seven Commonest Dreams

Horace G. Hutchinson's classifica-
tion of the more frequent dreams, in
his recently published volume on
"Dreams and Their Meanings" is
fairly complete. He says there are
seven common kinds: (1J the falling
dream-you are falling over a pre- l.
pice or down the stairs; (2) the fly
Ing dream-the dream that you can
fly; (3) the dream of more or less
inadequate clothing-that you are
not properly clothed; "a the dream
of not being able TO get away from
some beast, or injurious person or
thing. that is pursuing you; 90 the
dream of being drawn irresistibly to
some dangerous place, such as a fire;
/ (6) the dream that some darling
wish has been gratified; and o. the
/ dream Of being about TO go on a
| Journey. and being unable to get
your things into your trunks, etc.
But. as he adds, mo doubt there are
great many more"

CARROLL D. WRIGHT

Importance of the agricultural inter-
ests a department TO concern itself
with the great activities was created
in 1889, near the end of Cleyeland's
first term, and Norman j. Colman, Of
Missouri, was its first head.
The growth of the cabinet posts
from four places in Washington's days
to eight for the past dozen years, and
the ninth place post is likely to be
established before the present session
of congress ends, is merely a formal
recognition of the expansion IN the
number and Importance of the coun-
try's interests. Twice as many per-
sons are in the cabinet in RoOsevelt's
time as were there in the days of the
cOuntry's first president, but the
United States itself is about 20 times
as large as it was then, and it has a
hundred times the wealth and does
more than a hundred times the busi-
ness that il did at that time. The
| $70. 100000 of merchandise exports in
| 1SOO-and they were much larger then
| than when Washington first entered
office-had grown to not far from 81 =
500. 900, 900 in 1900 and in 1901, while the
domestic trade had expanded in far
larger degree. The increase step by
! step in the number of members of the
presidents official family in the past
| hundred years and over tells the story
| of the great expansion which has been
made in the country's interests and ac-
| tiVities.
