"All the soldier and otter, patriotic
organizations in this country should
have their headquarters in Washing.
ton, and eventually they will" This
statement was made by Capt. Edward
Trenchard Of the Army and Navy
club and the Aztec club, before the
national encampment committee Of
the United Spanish War Veterans. at
the Hotel Regent. Capt. Trenchard
was introduced to the assemblage By
Capt. Oryille G. Victor as one who 'is
intensely interested In soldiers and
their societies"
Continuing, Capt. Trenchard said
that even though the national com,
manders Of patriotic organizations bs
elected from the states, there should
be grand central structure erected
in this city in which headquarters Of
all the associations could be located,
He predicted that there would bs
such a contamination, and requested
the Spanish war veterans to push the
project along. He said the war with
Spain had produced great and lasting
results, and gave the American PEG,
pie "an imperial republic" with ter
vitory beyond the sea.
There cannot be too many patrk
otto associations" declared Capt,
Trenchard in conclusion. "They are
the great leaven of true Americanism
and are destined eventually to save
this country"

NEW WORKERS READ LITTLE.
They Have No Homes, Only Places to
Eat and Sleep.

New York reads less than any other
part of the country. The reason is
that there are no homes in New York
no home life. The eagles and the
buzzards there live in aeries, and the
rats and mice live in holes in the
ground. That is to say, they seleep
in these places and because these are,
the only sleeping places they have
they 60 to bed as late as possible.
Therefore, they have neither time
nor place for reading. They scan the
headlines of the big morning and az.
ternoon papers and this satisfies their
appetite for reading. It Is this that
accounts for the atrocious system Of
headlining In the New York papers
that make money. II New York city

or Washington, It's consumption Of Lit.

with a beautiful mountain torrent roar

vine is a popular walk, and one sees
many climbers who shoot their Sodaks
as the train passes, until one knows
exactly how It feels to be a celebrity.
As one goes On the climbers become
gradually fewer, and after three or
four miles they are left behind. Sud
denly a new turn In the road shows
that the first foothills have been sur
mounted and that we are climbing the
