DEPART RENT OF JUSTICE
FAYORS FAIRBANKS BILL
Anything to Relieve the
Crowded Condition.
WOULD ACCEPT OTHER SITE
But Think Tract Near CorcOran Art
Gallery Is the Most De-
sirable.

Department Of Justice officials express
fervent hope that Congress will pass
the bill introduced BY, Senator Fair
banks providing for the purchase OF
tract Of land near the Corcoran Art
Gallery on which 70 erect a building
for the Departments OF Justice. State,
and Commerce and Labor.
They say they are willing to accept
anything that will afford them relief
from their present cramped quarters.
They would have no objection to carry
ing out the plan to erect a Department
OF Justice building on the tract of
ground owned by the Government near
the Lafayette Theater. at the corner of
Pennsylvania Avenue and Madison Place
northwest.
Site of Old Building.
This site IS the one on which the
old building OF the department stood.
In 1899 Il was condemned as unsafe
and was torn down. The Government
acquired the entire corner and prelimi-
nary steps w,sre taken toward erecting
a building there. Congress appropriated
81 900 for a building on the site. plans
were obtained and bids were secured
When the bids were opened. IL was
found that because Of the high prices
for materials prevailing then the build
ing would cost about $500, 600.
This was as far as the project ever
went. There were several reasons why
it vas dropped Congress was asked
TO appropriate $500. 90 more. but il would
not do 50 because a number Of citizens
claimed that the site was too small for
a suitable building and that when one
was erected il should be on a site,
large enough 10 have the attractive
features of the structure in evidence
The Department Of Justice officials deny
the matter was dropped because, OF any
objections proceeding from them and
say they would have been glad TO see
Congress go ahead and make the addi-
uonal appropriation.

Dolly Madison.

There are many stories told of the
tact and kindliness of Mistress Dolly
Madison when she was the first lady of
h land. Her ready Wit saved from
confusion many a visitor to the White
House who was not accustomed to the
ways Of polite society.
One of the most amusing of the sto-
rieS is the tale of a country lad at q
White House reception who was sur
prised in the midst of his enjoyment
of a cup of coffee by the approach Of
his hostess. In his confusion the poor
boy dropped his saucer and thrust the
cup into his pocket.
Mistress Dolly, who. although her eyes
were keen and searching, never saw
anything that it was not intended she
should see. chatted away with her
guest 50 pleasantly of the weather, the
crowd, and, finally, of the young mans
mother, whom she had known or heard
Of, that he recovered from his embar-
raSsment and was soon at ease and
ready to accept the fresh cup of coffee
which his hostess ordered, despite a
certain curious and unexplained bulge
in his pocket.

The Time For Recreation.

IN this lnSIStent age. when life every
where is at high pressure, there is
great need Of emphasizing the impor
tance-yes, the absolute necessity-o
recreation.
What Is work worth, especially brair
work, when it is performed with iadet
faculties, the energy of the brain cells
being exhausted?
one ambitious of becoming a writer
for example, thinks he is saving time
by forcing his brain beyond natural
limits. He believes that what he does
over hours is clear gain and that writ.
ing q chapter or an article after his
days work in an Office, a factory OF
store is to his advantage. But sooner
Or later he will realize his mistake. Ma.
ture will not be cheated.
a man may prOfitably occupy his
evenings in study or in some other oc.
cupation than that by which he earns
his daily bread, but he cannot do a full
days work Of any kind and then wise
~ attempt to do creative work in the
evening. A fresh brain is absolutely
essential to the production of original
thought. Even a recognized author
who forces too much work upon his
brain will soon see that his writings
are not as much in demand as they
have been and that his reputation is
waning.-O. S. Marsden in Success.

why Gold Is Rare.

Why is gold so rare? Simply because
1t is heavy. There are only two metals
that are heavier-namely, platinum and
iridium. Remember that at the begin
ming h earth was a body of gas. BY
gradual condensation it became liquid,
while nOw the whole of its mass save
only an outer crust much thinner in
proportion TO the whole bulk than is the
Shell OF an egg would be a fluid but for
the fact that it is held together by ire
mendOus pressure. Naturally in the
course Of its formation about a center
of attraction the weightier particles
composing the globe gathered about
that center. Accordingly we find that
the earth as a whole weighs five times
as much as water, while the rocks
forming the crust are only about two
and "A half times as heavy as water.

Ventilation In the Hat.

Some customers have nonSensical no
dons about the proper way to ventilate
q hat said a fashionable halter. In
fact, they are so whimsical about it
that we make the hats without a ven
tlator II try to suit the wishes Of
the customer after he has handed his
money to The salesman. Many custom
ers will not have a hat ventilated at
all. Well, they miss a great deal Of
comfort and take long chances for
badness in old age. The English style,
and the only one that some buyers will
adopt, Is n ring of perforated holes In
the crown of the hat. In my opinion it
IS just as well to have no ventilator at
Gil as to put it there. The best way is
70 have two holes, n on each side Of
the hat, just above the band. Then
you get good circulation all the time.
There are ways of punching the holes
a~rtiSucally so that they do not detract
from the appearance of the hat. But
you would be surprised at the number
OF men who will not have them, some
because it is not fashionable and 9TH
ers because they think the hat will not
wear so well."-New York Times.

Fire Horses MS Pets.

The horses of the New York fire de-
partment receive more petting proba-
bly, than any other horses in the world.
In nearly every engine house each of
the stalls bears the lame of the horse
occupying it, large black letters on
aluminium marking the quarters of
Tom, Harry, Dick or Major, as the case
may be. The firemen are proud of
their dumb friends and not only do
everything possible to make them com
Portable when they are off duty, but
take pleasure in providing them with
little luxuries and tidbits. Loaf sugar,
nougat and other candies are pur-
chased by one fireman or another in
each engine house almost every day,
and passersby may often see the
horses eating the sweets from the
hands of their men friends.

A Famous Pudding.

There is no other pudding on earth
to which so much honor is paid as the
huge baefSteak pudding served up
daily at the most famous tavern In
London, Ye Ode Cheshire Cheese, in
Fleet street.
This pudding has been served up
every day without break for nearly
200 years Garrick. Goldsmith and
DR.. Johnson used to enjoy it. Every
great writer in England makes a point
OF eating it today. 1t Is inseparably
associated with English literature.
Every evening after the pudding is
cooked there is a solemn procession.
The proprietor of the tavern, bearing
the pudding on a big dish, goes first,
followed by the cooks, the walters and
he entire staff. They bear the pud-
ding all around the tavern, the GUS
toners doing homage to it. Then and
not till then it may be cut up and
eaten.
