NEW YORK. Feb AFTER long
correspondence with the Department
of the East and three months of care.
full inside investigation, the War De-
parment has discovered what is be-
lieved to be an Illicit deal between
Companies L and M of the Fifty Infan-
try in their target practice, and has
ordered Gen. Grant to wipe out the
remarkable record made by these com
panies last summer because of their
workmanship.
The alleged deal between the two
companies to falsify the scoring and
give each other records much higher
than they were entitled to was in
spired, it is said, by mercenary mo-
tives. A private who qualities as a
marksman received an increase of

one hand the other day and reached
with the other to pick some object
from the floor. The movement strain
ed him so that he broke his wishbone.
1t is very evident that Walter doesn't
know much about babies. A woman
can grab a baby with one hand, but

Of the milk pan with the other hand

The PEOPLE,
LOBBY
WORKING or a NEW IDEA BEING
WATCHED WITH INTEREST.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 81
Washington is watching with much
interest the working out Of distinct
ly new idea in public affairs. This is
the Peoples Lobby.-a non-partisan
organization designed to foster a wider
knowledge Of national legislation, and
to indorse or oppose such bills as
affect the general welfare OF the peo-
pie.
The basic idea is that, II the people
know the facts on legislative matters.
public opinion will find such wide ex-
preston that it cannot be disregarded.
Channels Of publicity are not lacking.
The Peoples Lobby has the support
OF a large number of leading news
papers and OF such publication as Sue
cess" Golfers" and "Ridgway's."
An important branch of the work of
the organization as the careful COM
piling of the public record of every
Senator and representative. The peo-
pie have a right to know from an un-
prejudiced source, what their legisla-
tors are doing The influences
brought to bear on members of Con-
gress will also be examined into; this
means history of the third House.
the secret lobbyists, who are so sue
cessful in influencing legislation for
the benefit of the special interests"
which employ them.
The plan seems broad and practical
enough to augur great public good if
carried into effect. The
personnel of the Governing Committee
and of the men in charge of the bureau
IN Washington would seem to promise
his result, and the willingness of the
people to indorse the project and to
support it with their subscriptions is
lttested by hundreds of communica-
ions received from every state in the
Union and from Panama, Hawaii and
he Philippine Islands Enthusiastic
etters are still being received daily,
md the organization continues to
make its appeal for subscriptions for
NY amount from $1O0 upward.
Henry Needham, whose experience
s journalist in Washington led him
o suggest the formation of the Peo-
les Lobby, is the Secretary in charge
f the Washington bureau, located In
he Munsey Building.

THE HOME IN KANSAS.

No Kansas home is altogether happy
without bathtub, bouqet of flow
ers on the dinner table and Bible in
the living room. When the whole fam
lily battles in basin there is apt to
be uncleanliness, which is close kin to
the devil When there is nothing on
the table but bread and meat, no clean
linen, no flowers, no shining silver,
there are apt to be cross words or
quarrels. And when there are Bibles
only on shelves in the dark corners Of

occupants of any home The average
