CHAMP CLARK IS
NOT RECOGNIZED
Indications That Speaker Can
non Intends to Run Things
With High Hand.
INSURGENTS" ARE AT SEA
MAY BE CLASsED AS MINORITY
MEMBERS BY THE CAR.

Washington, March 1d.-"Insurgents
and Democrats were indulging in much
speculation at the capitol today as to
what would be the policy of Speaker Can
non in selecting the committees of the
next house, in the event he is successful
in the present fight over the organization
of the house in the Sixty-first congress.
The Democrats are apprehensive that the
speaker will assume the right to fill the
minority as well as the majority places
on the committees Several Democrats
nave appealed TO the speaker directly for
appointment on certain committees.
When John Sharp Williams was minor
ity leader, Speaker Cannon referred all
such applications to the minority leader.
lie has taken no such action this time.
Minority Leader Clark's friends say be
can interpret this course in but one way.
There have been no conferences be-
tween the minority leader and the speak
er, and il is understood none is sched-
uled- The Democrats will make political
capital out of the failure to recognize the
minority leader. They will argue that this
is another illustration of the desp0tic
power of the speaker.
Another possibility worrying both the
Democrats and the insurgents is that
Speaker Cannon may classify the Gin
surgents as minority members of the
house and make zip committees on that
basis, That would reduce the Democratic
representation on the committees and
HhSi1l prove embarrassing 10 the III
surgents."
Mr.. Clark conferred today with Repre-
sentatives Nelson and Gardner of the in
surgents." All claimed afterward that the
tight on the rules is not to be abandoned.
anC it was denied that the Democrats and
Insurgents have entered into an agree
ment as to voting for any specific rule.
The Democratic caucus likely will be
held next Monday before the house con-
venes and will adopt a resolution in IA
for of carrying out the pledges of the
Denver platform to reduce the power of
the speaker
On the floor of the house the Demo-
Gratis will attempt to lead in the oppOsi-
ton TO adopting the rules. They will not
allow that honor to go to the ''insur-
gents" The opposition of a large number
of Democrats to the election of a COM
mittee to select the house committee will
probably defeat the plan of the insurgents
If an opportunity arises to consider that
amendment on the floor. The PROPOSE
ton TO have the committee on rules elect
ed by the house and to bar the SPEAKER
from the committee will have more sup
port from the Democratic side.
As an evidence of their desire not to in
terfere with the tariff the ''insurgent''
leaders today announced that they were
willing for the speaker TO aappoint the
committee on ways and means. the other
committees to be selected by a commit
tee on rules and committees.

Jetornaments Coming Again,

With the revival Of jet, trunks and
chests will be overhauled for fine old jet
ornaments or fringe that have been lying
idle for years.
II this has been carefully put away it
should be as brilliant as ever, II not it will
probably need overhauling to make it
wearabie says the New York TIMES.
Brush dust from the jet with small
soft brush. not stin enough to scratch. yet
firm enough to get into the crevices. After
the dust is gone immerse the ornament in
alcohol and rub dry with silk cloth, later
polishing with chamois
A large piece of jet can be frightened
by rubbing it with very finely powdered
rotten stone mixed with a little olive
oil. sift the rotten stone through fine
muslin before mixing with the OIL. Rub
until blur or marks are removed, then
polish with a chamois.
Remember, in using Jet with white, as
win be much done. it is said. that il
forms somewhat too startling contrast
and must be sparingly used not to look
in bad taste In the same way there
are few faces that can stand jet ear
dings. and it is a pity that so many
charming women persist. in making them
selves look anything but refined by theil

DAILY HEALTH HINT
WHO 5LuNDEREp7

In a certain city in this union there were
last year over 1900 deaths from typhoid,
6.s per cent. Of the deaths from all causes.
The health officer Of this same city in his
annual report says: This deplorable re-
suit was due to the negligence Of the peo-
pie in not needing the warnings Of the
health department, in which it called at
tention TO the polluted water supply and
urged that all water be boiled before using
it for domestic purposes"
The epidemic Of typhoid cost the city
about S5OOOOO But outside Of the warn
ings sent out by the health officials there
is nothing in the report to show who was
responsible for the conditions that killed
$500 persons in less than twelve months.
Surely here is a striking example of what
intelligent preventive methods might have
accomplished. When will people and CON-
munities learn that it pays to spend money
to save human lives?-Chicago Tribune.

GETTING OPINIONS
OF THE TRAINM IN

With a view of lettering the service
on a number Of its divisions. the Phil
adelphia and Reading hallway has for
warded personal letters to the engineers
and conductors asking for their opinions
relative to certain topics in connection
with the operation Of the road.
The letters are addressed personally to
each engineer and conductor, stating that
the company is desrous Of improving the
service and would appreciate having the
person addressed advise as TO the best
schedule of trains The idea Of the Off
cials is to learn wnat their employees
know Of the advisiability OF making
changes i'm the passenger schedules.
1t frequently occurs that the employees
have much better means of ascertain
ing what will prove advantageous to
the railroad in holding public patronage
and suitins the convenience OF travel
ers. The men to whom the letters are
addressed are those very well acquainted
with the divisions over which they run,
and are in good position to know the
wants of the public at the different
points along the line
The engineers and conductors have
taken the matter up and are ihdivid-
ually expressing their opinions Of the
subjects, many having already sent ir
their replies. II, after careful consider.
alton. the suggestions sen. in by the mer
are thought 10 be good ones, changes
will be made accordingly.

THINGS TO EAT
In THE SUMMER
Meats Should be Stunned. or
Else SparingIy Taken in
the Warmer Weather

There are days when meats should
be eaten in dainty bits-not great
chunks or slabs, or roasts, or fries, or
boiIs-but little suggestions of the
eat meat world. without fioundering
about IN it.
Probably a suggestion of such dainty
bits might not be amiss Get some
boiled ham from your grocer-a nick
els worth to a person-broil II moder-
ately and eat. There is a summer
meat meal. or If you don't object to
a box of sardines, get a good one
garnish with a little lemon, and this
with a few slices of ripe tomato and
a baked potato rivals the dinner the
kaiser win get tonight.
In these days, when a zephyr is a
Joy and a butterfly is a landscape, one
doesn't need to sit down to a loaded
table-with meats and puddings, and
soups, and salads-why, it is enough
to make the blue skies look mad. In
the winter time, when the winds are
bowling and the icicles are hanging
from the leaves, a man wants magni-
tude in his eating, but when the June
solstiee has passed he sighs for the
grace of it.
Even an egg or a lamb chop seems
too warm these days, and one natur-
ally looks around for the cottage
cheese, and even suspects there is
enough meat in a doughnut to answer
all practical purposes. The old-fasn-
ioned pie seems too heavy for these
days of sunshine. but If the filling were
appropriate to the shortcake form It
would not seem so
Then there is that Puerto Rican
combination of rice and beens-the
latter red, boiled with a mere slip Of
pork. These are served separately on
the table. but they are mixed in the
plate of the eater. No Puerto Rican
meal of an consequence is served with
out this combination. There is more
strength in ten pounds of this mix
ture than there is in ten pounds of
sirloin roast; and it is torrid food that
makes a fellow plump and glorious.
Not so dainty as some things we men-
toned but full Of vigor and good
conscience.
We are speaking only of summer
meats. and the borderland thereof, not
Of the fruits, the melons, the berries,
the corn. the squashes-these are a
beautiful word all to themselves.
