Mr., Curtis said the order was an ar
biirary one OF his own based upon the

this order, he said, he had the approval
of the secretary of the treasury, To
safeguard the government. he added.
the order provided that future entries
of crcosote. containing more than ] per
cent of chlorine, should be referred TO
the department. Since the order, he
said, no such entries have been re
ported.

Mr.. Curtis told the committee of his
conversation concerning the creosote
matter with Allan l.. Benson, who had
charged that the government was los
ing millions of dollars by the Curtis
decision.
'When Mr. Benson was in Secre-
tary MacVcagh Is office Mr.. Curtis
said, "I heard the secretary say that
his brother Wayne had told him that
he thought the department. decision
in the creosote matter was right
"Some time before that. just after
Secretary Mac Veagh and ] had decided
to reverse Mr.. Andrew IS ruling in this
matter, Wayne MacVeagh came into
the room. We talked about various
matters, and finally Wayne MacNeagh
pulled some papers from his pocket and
said, BY the way. / have been asked
to see you about this decision in the
creosote oil matter. The decision is all
wrong
Ruling Had Been Changed.
81 interrupted him al once and said,
Mr. MacVeagh, you need NOT waste any
time about that. We have already de.
cided that the ruling was wrong and
have changed it,.
90 That's good, Wayne MacVeagh
replied. ALLOW me to congratulate you.
You are the first government official
ever met who was willing to reverse
himself

ceive his congratulations but that was
not reversing myself, and that | mann

81 assumed knowing that he had

the department after the decision to
change the ruling was made. and any

Keeninn Cut Flowers.

Cut flowers will last only three or
four days under ordinary care, but
you can make them last week or
more by doing four things. First, do
not try to arrange them the moment
you get them, but put them in pail
of water for few hours so that every
stem will be under water clear up to
the flower; second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting In the flow
ers and change the water every day;
third. the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy
them or have to go out for the after
noon do not leave them in the living
room. for they are not used to tenn
perature of 10 degrees. Every night
put the vase In cool place, or, better
fsiill, plunge thu stems up to the flow
ers In pail of water, and. fourth, cut
about a quarter of an inch off each
stem every morning. 1t is more trou-
BILE to do this under water. but 1t pays.
If you cut the stems In the ordinary
way air bubbles get into the stem and
