The game. which was 30 victory for

hardly have been otherwise. for hockey
any experiences BY origin il is Scotch,
but in this country, played on the
ice by the Canadians it has come to rank
almost with lacrosse as the national sport
of the Canucks.
IN Scotland hockey was originally called
shinty. and as such il is familiar to
many American boys. In Ireland they
call it hurting.
The game that society women are play
in. on turf Is variation of this ancient
sport as played on ice, but it loses moth
ing in excitement by being transferred.

Scrub! Scrub! Splash.
Inside. an army of cleaners began work
more than two months ago. and they are
still at it. First of all. they started in
the gallery floors and corridors
going into every hall and room and
closet. The dirt was routed with NOR
and scrubbing brush and hose, soap
cleaning powders and pumice. From
room to room they went in their crusade
against dirt; from floor to floor: from
main building to Senate wing and then
back to the House end, and they are
still at it. but the end is in sight. After
them came the painters. with pots OF
colors to touch up the minor damages.
and the carpenters and other artisans
have all had hand in the work.
When the word goes forth that the
Capitol is to be cleaned, David Lynn, as
general foreman and right bower to the
superintendent sends for all the other
foremen-those who have charge of the
heating. ventilating and lighting depart
ment. for instance and all the rest, and
nstructs them to turn In at once full
reports of the requirements of their re-

Installed; that new floor must be laid;
that certain plumbing must be renewed;
that frescoes in the lower corridor are
scaling off: that there is a leak in the
Vice Presidents room: that hundred
and one things need attention.
Very good. Things have been reduced
to a systsm-a science-since Supt. Woods
took office. Formerly, it Is said. there
was almost complete independence of
action among the various foremen. If
the foreman carpenter. for instance.
found the foreman of the ventilating
plant standing on one of his step lad
ders TO fill an oil cup he was likely to
demand the instant return of the ladder
because the foreman of the ventilating
plant had once upon time refused to
grant him request for some boards to
crate chair. And each foreman was
wont to go to town and buy anything he
thought his department required caus-
ing no end of confusion in the bookkeep-
ing department. That is different now.
Supplies are issued out of the storeroom
on requstion from the foremen. each
requisition stating what the supplies are
needed for. And all the foremen are di-
rectly answerable to Mr.. Lynn. who finds
that they are the easiest men in the
world to get on with. and there is no
longer any trouble anywhere.
Repairs in Senate Document Room.
There was considerable work to do in
the Senate document room this year.
The cleaning. of course, had to wait on
certain alterations. and these included

its sloppy termination.
Overhauling the Kitchen.
There was plenty of work to do this year
in the overhauling of the kitchens and res
taurants, there being one catering estab-
lishment for the Senate end and another
for the House end of the Capitol. In
fact. practically everything is duplicated
in the Capitol, and this fact should help
to impress on the mind of him who has
never seen it what an immense building
the Capitol really is The kitchens are IN
the basement. where the casual visitor
never sees them. In every respect they
are complete and up-to-date, and doubt
less would rejoice the heart of any pro-
fessional cook who might have the chance
to inspect them. They are planned with
especial reference to cleanliness The
floors are cement and the walls are lined
with white enameled tiles to the height of
a mans head. Every day in the year, but
more especially when Congress is in SEES
sion, the walls are washed down and the
whole place is thoroughly cleaned. Be-
tween sessions any needed repair work is
done, for then the kitchens are not worked
to their full capacity.
There were sweeping alterations and
renovations TO be made in the restaurants
this year The walls We're cleaned and
retinted. The floors were repaired ana
the furniture was overhauled. The ranges
received attention. some repairs being nee
essary Every ice box and refrigerator
was not only scrubbed, but it's condition
was mos; carefully investigated. and it
was placed in the best possible repair
When the senators and representatives
come to Washington in the early winter
to take up the work of Congress they VIII
find that the cuisine. at least. is in as
perfect condition it is possible for IL
to be.
The painters and decorators have been
very busy men. They have been called
in to touch up and freshen the walls and
ceilings IN the preSSrooms OF the Senate
end. the Senate conference committee
room. the Senate library, the rooms of the
Senate committee on mines and mining.
Even the Senate chamber itself was found

new composition floor with sanitary
base, new steel shelving to replace the
old wooden shelves. complete rewriting
to give a large amount of additional
light. the wires all being buried in the
piastering.
In general way. the heating. ven
tilating and lighting plants at both ends
of the Capitol have been thoroughly over
hauled and everything brought to the
very highest state of efficiency. In the
Senate end new switchboard has been
put in and it is exhibited with consid-
cradle pride.
AS happens almost every year. there
has been good deal OF work done in
volving the tearing out of old woodwork
and the replacing Of it with new. 1t is the
practice In such cases TO replace the old
wood-usually pine or some soft wood
with mahogany, but the new work is made
to conform with the old work in pattern
and design. Many new mahogany doors
have been placed in the building. Much
new furniture is annually installed, and
In consequence it becomes necessary year
ly to hold an auction sale of old. worn
out or obsolete furniture. Very often this
old furniture brings great deal more
than it is worth because OF it's assOcia-
tions. 1t is generally bought up by per,
sons not living in Washington, who place
a sentimental value on anything that has
ever been used in the Capitol.
Statuary Hall. as usual. came in for its
full share of attention from the cleaners
this year. 1t was an odd sight for the
tourists who happened to be enjoying the
richly embroidered tales told by the guides,
when they came on the sheeted figures in
marble and bronze in the the nations hall
of fame. commonly called Statuary Hall.
On ladders and scaffoldng the cleaners
were busy brushing or scrubbing away the
dirt on the walls. and. that being DONE

ing number of women and girls who find
q road TO health and beauty in outdoor ex-
ercise.
The fad started at the girls colleges,
Wellesley. Bryn Mawr. Nassar and
Smiths becoming victims. But il is not
dependent for favor on those institutions
where the gentler sex gets its education
Society has adapted hockey for Its own.
and in Philadelphia there is regularly
organized league. the membership OF
whose clubs includes many of the bluest
blood that the Quaker city knows.
The recent contest between Merton
and Germantown is fair sample. These
are fashionable cricket clubs, but their
athletic activity is not confined to the
famous English game. Any sport the
members want gets consideration. and
there are associate memberships. with
the gentler sex belonging. such sports
az golf and tennis have always found
many votaries among the wives. daugh-
tiers sisters and Sweethearts of masculine
members of the cluD.
When some of the women found hockey
holding their attention, it was easy to
get help. Sections of the field were sci
aside for the new game and contests
+ were speedily arranged with teams from
other clubs.
Then the league was formed, and the
contests are being played OFF according
to regular schedule.
In the Merton Germantown match re-
