Although the porches are yet to be

the first floor. The south wing Of that

Greater Washington in it's relation to
the government service will be discussed
by John Joy Edison at the Public Library
Hall next Monday evening. His address
will be feature of a meeting Of the
Civil Service Council, the organization Of
government clerks which has been active
in the last year In an effort to bring about
a better understanding of, the needs OF
the public service and the rights and du-
ties of civil service employees. Mr.. Edison
has been we'll known in financial and
business circles here for many years, and
this, with his experience as an employee
of the government. fits him to look at the
subject from all sides, for he, like many
other Washington business men, began
his life here in government work.
The program for the evening will also
include an address by J. c. Welliver on
the need u the increase of pay for gov
eminent employees, and a brief general
discussion of the Redistribution and re-
tirement problem. Several congressman
have been invited to be present and
speak, and it is expected that Senator
elect Townsend of Michigan and Repre-
sentative Cary will be there, unless un-
foreseen engagements prevent.

Although construction work has been in
progress for only three months, prac-
tically all of the main portions of the
new Chevy Chase clubhouse, Chevy
Chase, Md, have been completed. The
building was placed under roof within
the past few weeks, and the interior deco
rators are now busily engaged in putting
OH finishing touches to the various rooms.
The building, which is being construct
ed under contract by the Page Construc-
ton Company of this city, is of so-called
river stone, quarried in the vicinity. 1t
is the same as that used in the walls OF
Pierce's mill, in Rock Creek Park, which
was completed in the latter part of the
eighteenth century. The central portion
of the clubhouse and the two wings seem
somewhat rough in appearance as yet
but as soon as weather permits large
force Of carpenters will be engaged and
the porches, which will extend the entire
length of the building, will be completed.
Description Of New Building.
The clubhouse proper, which is two
pierced with dormer windows, while the
ton and are crowned with gable ends.
The building is 17S feet long.
The locker room. a two-story, structure,
swings out from the northwest corner of
the building, thus avoiding the unneces-
sary prolonging of the front that is al
ready quite long, and at the same time it
provides the space which the needs of the
club require.
The original clubhouse building was
once a farmhouse, dating back to the CO.

The Danger of Draughts.

That the so-called draught is only a
concentrated dose of fresh air, and that
millions suffer for want of fresh air, GER
tainly represents profound truths. New
ertheless. they leave us unimpressed, for
much the same statements might be said
of so many things.
Lead, for instance, when distributed
through the substance of India rubber
gloves is as useful to X-ray workers as
fresh air TO ordinary individuals; but
when concentrated in the form of q
bullet, exposure to its impact is apt to
prove inconvenient. But, however these
things be- we adhere to our belief that
draughts are dangerous.
1t is not commonly understood that
the draught is merely the Irimum mo-
yens, the immediate cause of the i'll re-
suits experienced being in some cases
perhaps, micro-organism. in others, per-
haps. toxin, with which the system
would have been able to deal effectively
but for the local depression of vitality
brought about by exposure to con.
centrated dose of fresh air

Pity the Birds.
From the Newark News.

Please listen to the plea OF the Human.
society OK New Jersey to consider tho
birds. The snow has fallen and has hid
from them the dried berries and seeds
upon which they feed during the winter
II you want to see how hungry they are
just throw out some little scraps of meat
or some crumbs OF bread and see how
eagerly they will pick them up; Or hang
a bit Of suet in tree, and see what a
variety OF birds will find 1t and make
their meals on it. II you keep up this
practice say every morning you will soon
find the birds watching and waiting 70,
your charity. Some have actually sue.
ceeded. by very careful treatment, in get.
ting the birds to come to the window ant
seemingly ask for their breakfasts. Ir
the cities the children should see that ths
birds no not starve. and In the countr,
the farmers are encouraged by the state
to feed the quail. The birds can stauS
the cold. but hunger Is harder to bear
Feed them.
