PALATIAl OFFICES
FOR u. 5. SENATOR'S
Two Rooms and Bath for
81 Members.

Washington, d. c., Sejt. 7-(Spe-
ciaI-That palatial establishment for
the comfort of senators, the new sem
ate office building, it is now amour
ced, will be ready for occupancy by
the time congress meets next Deem
Der. 1t is now about 80 per cent
completed and the purpose is to
rush it to completion in the next few
months
When finished the new senate office
building will have cost the public
81, 500, 900, inclusive of the site. This
seems a large sum to pay out to pro-
vide office rooms for ninety-two
members of the senate and their
attaches It is rather more than the
cost of the house office building,
which was occupied early in the last
session of congress. But as has been
repeatedly shown, congress seldom
exhibits qualms of economy when it
comes to expending money for it's
own comfort. The recent so per cent
increase in salaries of senators and
representatives is indicative of this.
Besides, there is no doubt that
genuine need for an office building of
some sort, both for the senate and
the house members, has existed
Each senator will be entitled to a
suite consisting of two handsome
rooms and a private bath. The build
ling will have ninety-nine such Of
flee suits in the three principal stories
above the basement, ten single Office
and six committee rooms, besides
conference room and dining room.
The larger room of each office suite
is intended for the use of the sena-
tor himself. The smaller room is for
the senator's secretary.
Heretofore the senators have had
to wait for service while waiter is
serving meal to some mere private
citizen. Senators hope that under
the new regime they will be enabled
to be more thoroughly in retreat when
they want to partake of something to
eat.
In design the senate Office build
ing resembles the house office build
ing, the two being fashioned to har-
monize with the exterior of the capitol.
The house members are allowed but
one room each.

ELECTRIC CURRENT TURNED

The newest scarf to be worn grace

people getting shocked, but there
