Admiral Dewey gave a special ring at
the elevator in the Navy Department an
mex one day, and the operator reversed
his car to come back. and pick up the
admiral. Several women were aboard.
Admiral Dewey apologized, saying he
would never have used his special signal
if he had known.
In this connection they tell of the case
OF a Western Senator who got into an
elevator in the Capitol one day along
with a number of women and other pas
senGe-s. He wanted the gallery floor.
When he got there and noted that none
Of the other passengers got out, he in
quired:
'How's it come that you passed the
floors these other persons wanted?"
You're a United States Senator" re-
piled the elevator man, and I. there
fore, took you to your floor at once
The Senator drew himself up, showed
out his chest, and remarked. with a
pompous gesture:

A slightly inebriated visitor was stroll

the Capitol dome. looking at the big oil

there
At the picture entitled Washington Re-
signing His Commission" the visitor
paused for a long time. Then he walked
over to the chief Of the guides, seated
short distance away.
Say" he began, ''see those two girls
in yonder picture? Have they got five
hands between EN-. or just four hands,
like two girIs'd be expected to have"
"Oh. they've got five" the guide ex-
planned. That is. it looks as il they
had five. One of the five hands may be
long to the man behind them. He may
have his arm around one OF them. Still.
it sure does appear as If the little girls
had an extra hand"
An Iemme ask you another question.
Has that Indian in the picture over yon-

Yes: you know there used to be tribe

CRITICISM OF SOCIALISM.
DR.. O'Hnra Lectures Before Catholic
University Students.

Socialistic principles were strongly crit
icised by Frank O'Hara. Phi. D., instruc-
tor in political economy at the Catholic
University. in a lecture on Economic
significance of socialism," in Mcmahon
Hall yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. O'Hara said that in his opinion 1t
would be almost impossible to introduce
the socialistic principle into agricultural
pursuits. as large agricultural industries
could not be carried on, il that basis
were used.
Another argument. advanced by Mr..
OHara was that socialism could not be
reConciled to any big commercial industry,
and as such Industries are necessary.
Notwithstanding they sometimes have
mOnopolistic tendencies, he does not be-
lieve socialism is practicable.
