An effort is being made on the part
of H. @. Campbell and a number OF
residents and property owners in the
neighborhood of the Dallas and the
Odd Fellows cemeteries to secure city
water service. 1t is the intention to
main supply pipe below the reservoir,
so that water can be supplied to the
residences there, and also to hydrants
placed at convenient intervals in the
cemeteries. This will enable lot own
ers to arrange to irrigate the flowers
and shrubbery ornamenting the graves
If they desire to do so

MRS. TAFT FOR PRECEDENT

Washington. April l5.-The advent OF
new Congress with the coming TO Wash
ngton Of A large number Of new Senator'S
and Representative many Of them OF op-
posite political parties. has caused certain
social complications which are furnishing
material for much gossip. and may even
result in some bitter feuds. According 10
an old ruling OF the Department Of state
Senators take precedence OF members or
the Cabinet. and. in accordance with Wash

Of less 20 call on those OF greater rank. II
now becomes necessary for the women OF
the Cabinet 70 make the first call on the
wives OF all the new Senator'S Moreover
The wives Of the new Senators. under
Washlngton's social edict. must call on the
wives Of Senator'S who have been longer
in Office. Many Of them are unwilling 10
do this. but Mrs. Taft is 4 strict adherent
to social forms and the edict has gone
forth that the Cabinet women must fulfil
their obligations and make the first calls
on the wives OF the new Senators. reluctant
though they may be TO do SO.
As there is no one to take ike stand
in the case o. the wives ~ new members
Of Congress. both Of the House anu Of the
Senate. many Of them are sulkinS in their
tents. so 10 speak and the end Of the
feminine Juror no mere man dare predict.
There are women now old IN Washington

Washington refused TO call on the wives
Of older Senators. and who now insist that
this courtesy must be paid 70 them by
the women arriving this spring The same
rule applics 10 the women OF the House,
and the wives Of the new Representatives
are holding out in the same manner. They.
however. accept the edict that they must

Senators without question.
Mrs. Tart has strictly fulfilled every
social obligation since she first entered Of
