The unfavorable surroundings both for
work and for health resulting from the
crowded conditions Of the restricted space
allotted to the naval bureau Of ordnance
In the Navy Department building are called
to the attention Of the Secretary Of the

said Admiral Mason. "the conditions
might be accepted without complaint;
but the eyesight and the general health
Of the officers and employees conce rned

bureau feels that 1t has q responsibility
which cannot be ignored; and the delay
and possible errors resulting from the
handling, in such cramped and crowded
quarters. Of the great volume Of business
passing through this bureau: is matter
even more serious, especially when the
nature Of the matters dealt with by the

GIRL STOWAWAY FOUND
ON AN ATLANTIC LINER
Scotch Lass Goes Aboard With
Friend, Then Decides to
Continue Journey.

NEW YORK, December 5.-The first
woman stowaway to come to this port in
many years has been brought in from
Glasgow on the Anchor liner Columbia.
She is Scotch. eighteen years old. and
her name is Annie McKean. The lassie's
presence was discovered Tuesday. when
the Columbia was three days out from
Glasgow. and she was taken at once be-
fore Capt. Wadsworth.
She was not even a wee bit afraid, and
told her story with the unconcern Of a
professional stowaway. The first question
asked by the skipper was why she had
boarded the Columbia without a ticket.
That was easily explained. She tossed
it off in a sentence. She had no intention
Of sailing for America.
''It was like this, We ken." said Annie,
calmly. Mrs. David Mcdowell of
Giasga and her five wee BARNS were q
sailin' for New York. Her mon was to
join her at Neville. She needed help
with the BARNS and luggage, an I went
along as far as Moville."
"Well, why. did you not get of at Mo-
vile when We stopped there" asked Capt.
Wadsworth.

pews like a parquette, with dress circle

projecting over 1t. are two tiers OF boxes,
very much like those in the opera house.
They are divided by solid partitions and
are of different sizes. Some will seat
eight and some only four people, and some
Of them have cloakrooms behind them.
Above the boxes are three very steep
balconies with narrow seats. The altar
Is imposing, and the chancel Is protected
by beautiful balustrade. The choir oc-

Good Moral Atmosphere.

There are not so many American stu
dents as in Paris or Vienna or Berlin or
Rome, but probably more than in any
other city. The moral atmosphere Is purer
than in other cities; the temptations are
less, and the people are frugal and eco
nomical, so that extravaganza is not fash
ionable. The climate Is good for ten months
in the year and the hotels and pensions
patronized by American families are now
providing comforts and conventences that
are much appreciated.
The king and the officials of the court of
Saxony are very courteous to foreign resi-
dents and visitors. The government does
everything possible to promote the con-
venience of students and expand the
reputation Of Dresden as an artistic and
educational center. 1t is not q CONNER
cial or an industrial city, although it has
more than half a million population, who
will average more wealth per capita than
part OF the population are people of
means, leisure and culture and there
are many handsome residences.
The city is divided into two quarters
stadt, or new town-on either side of the
River Elbe. which Is here an important
stream. 900 feet wide and carrying a
great deal Of commerce. The river is
crossed by several monumental bridges,
the oldest one having been built several
centuries ago with money obtained from
the sale of papal dispensations for eating
meat in Lent. The largest and finest
bridge has just been completed. and 1t

Congress would build similar one across
the Potomac at Washington. There are
many parks, drives and gardens and

Doors Of Church Locked.

We went to the Frauenkirche one Sun
day morning intending to hear the pre-
liminary services and come away before
the sermon, which is usually very long.
but when we crept quietly down the stairs
so that the CONGREGATION could not stray
away, and we were compelled to go back
to our seats in the first balcony The par
son preached for an hour and q half be-
fore we could get away. He spoke fluent
ly and pounded the Bible with energy.
but did not succeed in keeping all Of his
congregation awake. / noticed that sew
eral dagnifled burghers who occupied the
principal boxes slumbered peacefully
through the entire discourse.
The boxes are reserved for the nobility;
and the aristocracy, but none Is needed
for the king, who is Roman Catholic
and attends the Sophienkirche or court
church, which Is connected with the pal
ace by a bridge. The royal family have
a box over the altar draped with scarlet
dating from the fourteenth century. but
it was thoroughly restored in 1884. The
altar Is q massive block of green marble
which king Albrecht brought back from
Jerusalem in 1476. 1t Is claimed to be
q remnant of the temple of Solomon. The
Sophienkirche IL famous for its choir. I
do not know that I have ever heard more
beautiful music
One Of the most important events in
the history of Dresden was q sermon
preached by Martin Luther in the Frau
enkirche in 1916. He spoke for three
hours on the fifth verso Of the second
chapter of tho Epistle OF st. James
Hath not God chosen the poor of this
world rich in faith. and heirs OF the king
dom which He hath promised to them
that love Him."
King George and his court were all
present and sat through the service. AS
George became one OF Lnther's most de-
termined opponents, while he qualified
himself at the same time as q Protestant,
1t Is believed that his prejudice was based
upon the length Of that sermon. His
majesty was rather inconsistent, however.
for in 1922 he forbade the people of Sax
ony to use Luther's translation Of the
Bible. and In 1927 printed an edition at
hia own expense and circulated It free
among his subjects with q preface, which
he himself wrote, denouncing Luther a.
inconsiderate ana vicious in his teachings.
Between these dates Dresden was af-
filcted by a serious plague, and to stop
It the same King George deemed It
necessary to burn q witch.

A Slav Fishing Hamlet.

Dresden was a Slav fishing hamlet when
the city was founded, about 1905. 1t be-
came Of literary and artistic importance
early in the fifteenth century, and during
the reign Of King Augustus the Strong"
from 1884 to 1893. it was the modern
Athens and more prominent than any
other city as a center of learning and
home Of art ahd literature. Augustus
1.-The Strong" was as influential in pro-
noting learning, art and industry as
Louis XIV Of France, the grand mon
argue OF France, and monuments Of his
generosity and enterprise are found in
every part of the city.
His successors have done much to en-
bellish and improve Dresden, and each
equally consistent in promoting culture.
refinement, piety and morals. Many OF
the first families of Dresden trace their
descent to the original settlers. the Siav
England claim to be the sons Of the old
Saxon bandits, and probably one has as
good title as the other to this dis
tinction.
The first families of Dresden are not
unmindful of their reputation for culture
and morals and consider themselves of
the elect. They claim to have a better
knowledge Of music than any other COM
munity in Germany; they insist that the
German language Is spoken with greater
purity in Dresden than anywhere else,
and SO far as piety and thorough un-
derstanding Of the Lutheran creed are
concerned, no city can compare with Dres-
den.
It is said that in early days any mu-
sician who played the wrong note or sang
out of tune in public was subject to fine
and Imprisonment. and that political cleo
tons depended upon candidates knowl-
edge of art and his ability to comprehend
Bach and Gluck. It Is actually true. as
the ancient records OF the city show. that
to promote civilization the inhabitants
were compelled by law to bath every two
weeks: however. as a compliment that is
a little ambiguous. They had soul
baths" also, but it Is difficult to under
stand just what form they took. Thurs
day of every week every bathroom and
| bathhouse in the city was open to the
poor. and householders who had private
bathrooms were required to open them to
any one who called and to furnish the
towels needed. In 1851 the city council of
Dresden undertook to regulate the style
of womens dresses and made a mess of
