McCabe SLAVES Head;
Now It's a Beacon

In order to counteract the effects of
the hot weather and at the same time
to give himself an opportunity to test
the merits of a hair tonic Of his own
connection, George P. McCabe, Solicitor
General of the Department of Agricul-
ture and member of the Pure Food
Board, has shaved HIS head until it re-
sembles the proverbial billiard ball or
the dome of the Congressional Library
or a beacon.
Mr.. McCabe arrived at his office this
morning with the shafts of light chas-
ing themselves merrily of his polished
head-piece.
What care II" said he, when the
clerks smothered smiles behind stacks
of papers. II am comfortable, and, as
am one of the few Government Of
flcials remaining in town, 1t is neces-
sary that remain cool-headed."
The Solicitor General is going to try
his new tonic. and If it works, Is think
ing or bottling it under the pure food
and drugs act.

Subordinate Has Charge
Of the Navy Department

A lieutenant commander of the navy
is today Acting Secretary of that de-
partment. Nobody at the department
recalls when such an officer has before
been in command.
Secretary Meyer, Assistant Secretary
Winthrop and Admiral Nicholson, chief
Of the Bureau Of Navigation, are out
of the city, When the Secretary is not
in Washington the Assistant Secretary
is on the job, according to law; when
this official is away the chief of the
Navigation Bureau assumes control,
but now Admiral Nicholson is gone.
This leaves Lieutenant Commander
Twining, who has the temporary rank
of rear admiral by reason of being chief
of the Bureau of Ordnance, the next
ranking officer, and therefore Acting
Secretary.
Rear Admiral Twining has been in
the department short time. He came
from the Boston navy yard to be chief
of the bureau, and HIS fellow-offcers
are today congratulating him on the
signal honor conferred upon him by the
situation which developed today.

money has been expended during the
last twenty years has been only where
It has seemed imperatively needed to-
ward this end.
In my individual case, IL / had not
had husband to pay my taxes and as
sessments. / would have been broken
up financially long ago; for during
some sixteen years the delays Of public
improvements on Sixteenth street
seemed intermina BILE.
Times for the Avenue Of the Presi-
dents have changed; that there have
been annoying delays and need of hard
Wo.k and expenditure on the part of
several OF US individually has turned
out to be most fortunate for the fu-
ture Of the avenue
1T will be handsomer built up and
more evenly beautiful the whole length
Of the avenue than II it had been done
before.
We now have the additional hearty
cooperation OF Congress, and there Is
no longer any need Of real estate opera

One Of Mrs: HendersoDs latest real

was the sale of a residence site near
Henderson Castle to Justice Charles

CATHOLIC ORDER Of
FORESTERs HERE
IN 1916
Grand Forks Nearly Landed
the Next Session Which
Occurs in 1918

That Grand Forks will get the In
ternational Convention of the Catho-
lie Order of Foresters in the year
1915, is almost an assured fact. NJ.
Norman, who was in attendance at
Columbus, Ohio, at the 1911 interna-
tional meeting which ended on
Thursday, stated this morning that If
it had not been for the perversity Of
the chief ranger, Grand Forks would
have landed the 1913 session.
Four cities were after the 1913 con-
vention, Grand Forks, Minneapolis,
Louisville, KY, and Seattle, Wash.
Seattle gave up the ghost when the
first ballot was taken, receiving only
a few votes. Minneapolis received
eighteen votes, Grand Forks sixty
eight and Louisville seventy-two
votes.
When it was seen that the Ken
tucky city was ahead the Minnesota
delegation, which was boosting Min
neapolis for the 1913 session, rose in
a body and asked to have their votes
changed to favor Grand Forks. The
chief ranger would not, however, ac-
cede to their wishes. but Grand Forks
will receive general support at that
time.
