A rounded seam Is used on fine
underwear, and Is made by backstitch-
Ing the two edges together, after
which the inside edge is cut down un-
til very little is left. The outside edge
is then folded over until the raw edge
Is entirely covered, This Is hemmed
down with very fine stitches, so the
effect is like a fine cord, making a
pretty seam. Soft sheer material can
be easily finished in this way, and 1t Is

GRAIN DEALERS MEET.
Discussion Of Measures Pending in
National Legislature.

About twenty representatives Of grain
growing, shipping and exporting interests
met in room on the tenth floor of the
New Willard shortly before noon today,
under the auspices of the Grain Dealers
National Association. 1t was a secret
session, but it is understood that there
was earnest discussion of measures pend
ing in Congress providing for the estab-
lishment by the Secretary Of Agriculture
of classification and grading Of grain, the
appointment Of federal inspectors and pro-
hibition of the use Of other grades.
1t is said that grain dealers generally
oppose this projected legislation on the
ground that large number of inspectors
will be required: that 1t is impossible to
have one set of grading rules apply to the
entire country, and the merchants con-
slider the proposed interference with their
business by the government as unwar-
ranted. The present grading Of cereals is
almost entirely by boards of trade and
similar bodies and is thoroughly salts.

At the close of the session luncheon

PRINTING OFFICE METHODS.
Mr.. Rossiter's Report Transmitted t.
Chairman Lands.

Report of the investigation Of the man
agement of the government printing office
by Charles A. Stillings and others, as
recently made by William g. Rossiter.
was transmitted this afternoon by order
of President Roosevelt from the White
House to Chairman Lands OF the House
committee on printing. 1t is stated that
the report is for the information of the
House committee, which instituted an In
vestigation Of the audit system in the
government printing Office prior to the ac-
ton of the President in suspending
Charles A. Stillings. 1t Is now believed
the congressional inquiry may be resumed
the first of next week.
Senator Scott of West Virginia has a
dark horse for public printer and has
presented his name to the President. He
would not give his candidates name, as
the man did not know that his name was
being used. The President told Senator
Scott that he proposed to take plenty OF
time about selecting public printer.

PROTECTION FROM FIRE
SENATOR GALLINGER SPEAKS
ON SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Mentions Two Of the Latter Insult
GENTLY Provided With Quick
Exits in Case Of Fire.

senator Gallinger, chairman of the Dis
trict committee, feels that every effort
should be made not only to protect school
children in this city from fire. but also
to protect churchgoers. Owing to the
press of other business the committee
did not take official notice of the Culber-
son resolution, directing an inquiry into
the condition Of the local schools in this
respect, at its regular meeting yesterday.
but Senator Gallinger announced today
that something would be done at the
meeting to be held next Friday.
Washington's churches are on the
whole poorly constructed for the protec-
ton Of congre cations against fire, in the
opinion of Mr.. Gallinger.
My attention has been called to the
Church of Our Father, the Universalist
church here" he said to a Star repre-
sentative this morning. and 1t appears
that 1t takes nearly twenty-five minutes
to empty this building, on account of the
turns in the stairways.
1.-THE same is true of the Calvary Bap-
fist Church, which i attend The main
auditorium is on the second floor, and
the stairs are narrow and winding. Be-
sides, there Is a gallery from which Ii
Is hard to get down"
Has Long Been Interested in This.
The question Of the proper construction
of buildings designed for the accommoda-
ton of a large number of persons. in
order that they may afford fire protection,
has long interested Senator Gallinger Even
before he became chairman Of the District
committee. he and the late Senator Nc
MILAN, then chairman. conducted an in
vestigation of fire protection in the local
theaters, with the result that some fas.
reaching reforms were adopted
While 1t Is certain that something i'm
portant will be done in this respect re-
garding the public schools of the city, the
question Of fire protection in churches
would not come before the committee un-
less attention was called to it in some
official manner. The committee is at pres
ent overrun with important business and
the members are not going about look
ing for additional labors.
Although Senator Gallinger mentioned
specifically only two local churches as be-
ing poorly constructed as to fire exits, he
believes that a great many others are
in the same condition. He is also of
the opinion that much could be done to
improve conditions in this respect in the
school buildings.
Senator Burkett. chairman of the sub
committee on education and labor. would
doubtless be in charge OF an investigation
of fire protection in the schools. The
committee will hear with interest what
the board of education has to say as TO
Improvement of the school buildings
along this line.

COOL WEATHER PROMISED.
Forecast by Bureau Officials for tn,
Coming Week.

Reports from the west seem to indicate
that weather conditions In Washington
and vicinity may be cool enough next
week to check the disposition Of early
fruit, flowers and vegetables to spring
into bloom prematurely. 1t has been
feared that the premature blooms and
buildings caused by the recent balmy
weather might be suddenly checked by a
freezing spell later in the month and re-
suit in serious injury to the early crops.
Prof. Garriott said this afternoon that
he did not think the budding had adj
vanced far enough as yet to cause such
result. The cool weather that may
come in the next few days is expected to
bring the desired result. There is a likeli-
hood of a shower or two tomorrow, 1t Is
said.

Home and School.
Mrs. Fern Andrews of Boston took for
her subject 1.-THE Home and School Move
ment in Boston" She said, in part:
THE organization Of parents associa-
lions connected with the schools was be-
gun in Boston about three years ago by
the conference committee on moral edu-
cation, a body now representing about
twenty women's organizations in Boston
and vicinity. These parents associations
represent the teachers and the parents in
about one-quarter of the school districts,
the membership of each ranging from 100
to 400, and the audiences reaching as high
as 800 or 800 people. Practically the same
constitution has been adopted. and the
work Is carried on with the same gen.
eral ends in view, but varying with the
needs Of the different localities. The as
socfatiOnS have endeavored to acquaint
the parents with the school and its work
to acQuaint the teachers with the prob
lens Of the home, and to study with the
aim of improving various other conditions
that affect the child's life. Every nation
atty and condition is represented.
'In November. 1907, the executive boards
of all the associations met to consider
the plan of uniting in a general associa-
ton, and later a constitution was adopt
ed and officers selected to carry on the
work. Twenty directors were chosen, one
from each association. Mrs. Quincy A.

The following plan was finally worked
out, and has been used satisfactorily for
several years in our own school. and
for the past two years in Spring school,
one of the other Toledo ward schools
namely: To select some word for each
month of the year, and get the children
to express their thoughts about the sub
ject. The words selected were as follows:
For September. kindness; October, clean
Illness; November. obedience; December,
self-cOntrOl; January, courtesy and cheer-
fulness; February, work; March. honor;
April. honesty, truthfulness and clean
language; May and June, manners and
review of the year. :.
Is divided into four parts. one for each
week in the month. First, kindness 10
parents, the childrens best friends; sec
ond, to teacher. next best friend: third,
to brothers, sisters. companions and the
world in general; fourth. to animals.
OF the thought Honor Miss Browniee
said:
"A very practical application of the sub
ject. Honor may be made In the care OF
school property. Children should be taught
that every manufactured article Is pro-
duced at a cost of labor, time and money,
and should be used with care, whether the
article belongs to them or to another.
