MRS SAWTELLE, who was Miss
AVA Daisy Blackford of Georgetown,
studied at the Corcoran School before
her marriage. and more recently, since
her return from the west at the New
York School of Fine and Applied Art
She has in her studio some very pleasing
and promising studies made last sum-
mer at Chester. Mass. One of an old
mansion set back from the road and
stepped in midsummer sunlight is
especially good, and a portrait study of
Mrs. Sawtelle's little daughter seated on
sunny porch has also much to COM
mend it. Mrs. Sawtelle Is at work at

MISS CLARA HILL, after leaving
4VA East Gloucester the last of August,
spent the greater part of two months in
New York, before reopening her studio
in this city. During the summer at
Gloucester she designed and modelled an
aims basin to be executed in silver for
church in Marblehead, and in New York
she modelled two nude figures of little
boys which she adapted decoratively as
an electrolier stand and a book holder.
The aims basin showed in its design

THREE interesting wall paintings have
recently been placed i'm the kinder

building in Georgetown. They are the
work of X. lie Grand Johnston. and are
landscapes specially adapted for the place
they occupy. One shows d flock of sheep

third sets forth broad stretch of water
lying between the observer and an at

as might be found in the near neighbour

CLEANUP Will Be
FIRST ON PROGRAM
Democrats Are Preparngto GO Before
County in 1912 With Pruning
Knife sharpensd.

Washington. D. c., Maj. IS. - The
new democratic vacuum fleaning sys-
tenn is to be tried first IN the seven
governmental departments, according
to plans being made by the leaders
of the next house Departmental IN
yestigations are to bo among the first
activities of the new majSrity and pre-
parations for them are noF being made
in the meeting of the ways and means
committee.
The primary reason fog the general
character of the investigations is that
reports may be made to and adopted
by the house unseless Offices on the de-
partments and recommendations for
economy. The democrats have in mind
the statement of C. d. Norton, the
presidents secretary, in a speech at
Chicago that George Washington ran
the government with 1856 employees,
while the present force is All, 1922, and
they are prepared to go before the
country in 1912 with the pruning knife
sharpened and ready for use by dem
ocratic president and democratic con-
gress.
In several of the departments, how
ever, while economy will be looked to
a rigorous search will be made for eK-
nactad frraouIo ritioe ~, :, ,o..,,14 - -
sixteen years in which the republicans
have been in power The postofice
department, the department Of justice
and the department. of the interior win
be subjected first to inquiries. The
trial of former Secretary Ballinger is
to be closely followed; the many COM
plants against the double employ
ment of the postmaster general, Hitch
cock, as chairman of the republican
national committee and as cabinet
officer, are to be looked into and aired;
and there will be "a search for proof of
the frequent allegation that, notably
in preparing the railroad bill of 1910,
Attorney General Wickersham has
been guided by the views of railroad
presidents.
The democrats expect to sBbstanti-
ate their contentious in the last twenty
years that billion dollar sessions are
guilty of needless extravaganza, to ne-
port facts and to find means Of cutting
down the cost Of running the govern
ment. With these investigations and
a tariff revision record, the house dena-
ocrats expect to contribute to the 1912
campaign.

AUTOMOBILE CARRIES PARTY
FROM BRIDGE into RIVER

Tulsa, Okla, Mar. 15.-One man was
probably fatally injured and one man
and two small boys narrowly escaped
being drowned yesterday morning
when the motor car in which they were
riding from Tulsa to Sapulpa went off
the edge Of wagon bridge and fell
twenty-five feet into the Arkansas
river. The injured man, Louis Kish,
was caught under the car and in addi-
tion to internal injuries he was near
ly drowned. j. V. Poole, the owner of
the machine, refused to tell the names
of the boys, both of whom were. about
six years old. He said he feared the
effect of the shock to their mother,
who is i'll in Sapulpa.
