Secretary Latta Startles Congressman

ldent came off; but Mr. Latta sudden.
ly lost his voice and had hard time
unloading his impedimenta and the
proper formal speech. He managed to
get through it, and in time-by rea-
son, of course, of the constant prac-
tice during the Roosevelt administra-
tion-acquired a commendable non
chalance about it.
But he never dreamed of appearing
in any other costume than the long
and dignified black frock coat OF
craftsmanship. 1t was supposed that
garb was as necessary for him as
the flowing robes of black which add
something to the terror with which
the supreme court judges inspire a
lawyer appearing before them for the
first time. What, therefore, was the
establishment when he appeared the
other day in natty sack suit and de-
livered his message with the ease of
a telegraph boy with a messageo
One explanation offered is that Mr..
Latta has to make the trip so seldom
nowadays that he can't arrange al
ways to have the long skirted coat
handy

IN the midst of the throes of the

and placid department of agriculture
at Washington hurled a bombshell to
the center of the worlds stage the
other day in an official bulletin on "fishy
flavor in butter" Yes, there it is in
all its fearful portent.
For four years, according to the bull
letin, Uncle Sans bureau of animal
industry sleuths have been on the
trail of the microbe which gives to
butter "a peculiar oily taste suggest
ing mackerel or salmon"
But they have not caught the mi
crobe yet.
Although there are very few ref

W ASHINGTON-E to uplift the
w business women of Washington,
$4,000 of whom earn their livelihood at
service in the government depart
ments, have received a setback.
Some time ago it occurred to a
group of well-meaning society women
In New York that it would be nice to
uplift all these working women. About
the same time the National Civic Fed
Grafton of Women began busying itself
with the women in the Washington
departments. 1t took on the great
bureau of engraving and printing, in
which women are employed, and pro-
ceeded to look for things that needed
to be improved.
The bureau of engraving and print
Ing is the place where the money is
made; hundreds on hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars worth of treasury
notes and bank notes are turned out
there every year.
When the Civic Federation of Wom-
en- sent committee to do some uplift-
ing these money manufacturing wom-
en- doubted whether they really needed
any charity. They earn comfortable
hVings, have their own places in So
ciety, go to the theater, and never be-
fore thought of themselves as in need
OF any uplift from the Manhattan di-
rection

the working women were overawed

quently that it is spoken of among
commission men as the f1shy belt.
THE immediate cause is generally
ascribed to the presence of tri.
methylamin in the BUTTER" continued
the experts, so the sleuths got on the
track of this and found it mot guilty"
Next they tackled oidum nactis, and
this, too, proved an alibi. Then they
inoculated the butter with the third
suspect, bacterium lactis aerogenes,
and it, too, was proved innocent. The
bulletin finally concludes that the
cause is as about as follows, to-wit:
"Fishy flavor is caused by a slow.
spontaneous chemical change, to
which acid Is essential, and which is
favored by the presence of small
amounts of oxygen. It's immediate
cause is particular substance pro-
duced by the oxidation of one of the
combinations of the acid developed in
the ripening of the cream. The SUBJ
stance oxidized may be the result of
hydrolysis of the cream"
And here is the climax:
The remedy: Fishy flavor may be.
prevented with certainty by making
butter from pasteurized sweet cream.

Candy boxes in the shape of books
were the favors, and the prizes were
subscriptions to magazines, the lucky
ones making their choice of a list that
were all the same price.
If one secures an invitation to a
party of this kind, it would be good
thing to go to a stationer's and look
over the magazines, for there are so
many it is impossible to recall all the
names just when they are wanted.
Did you ever hear of the Rainy
Day" club? 1t is a unique idea and
arose in this manner: There were six
young matrOns who had been girls to-
gether, talking over and sharing each
others joys and sorrows. They were
in very fashionable set and had a
strenuous life to lead, so it was pro-
posed that on rainy day in each
month one of them should be the host
ess for the other five; that invita-
tons should be given over the teIe-
phone and take precedence over all
others; absolutely plain gowns were
to be worn, a three-course luncheon
was to be served without trimmings"
which meant place cards, favors, etc.;
work was to be brought and all the
affairs of life discussed in most
charitable manner for the mutual i'm
provement and benefit of all con-
cerned
1t was rule that no unkind criti-
cism of any one should be made and
no gossip discussed; there was to be
a half-hour devoted to pertinent ques-
tions of the day and each girl was to
relate funny story. 1t was a time
for complete relaxation. The club has
been in existence now several years
and is perfect success, "a very haven
of refuge" as one member ex-
pressed it.
