There Is one fourteen-year-old boy in
Washington who is vastly pleased be-
cause Congress has been called in extra

between the legislative and branches
with all the anxiety of a member.
When President Taft finally called the
session. this boy was far more pleased
than most members, for it meant money

Regulates the Making
Of Evaporated Milk

Claiming that many tests prove 1t is
a common practice TO use partially
SKINNED milk in the manufacture OF
Pvaporated milk. the Department of
Agriculture has issued an order regu-
latinE the composition Of the commodity.
1t provides that the fresh. pure whole
mix Of healthy COWS shah be used,
and the milk Of calVing COWS shall be
excluded fifteen days before the calf is
born and seven days afterward.
The fact that skinned milk has been
used is attributed by the Department of
Agriculture TO the low standard as ap-
proved by the Association of Official
Agricultural Chemists. Attention IS
called to. the fact that the standard
requires only 27.5 per cent solids.

THRONGS WITNESS
LAST IMPORTANT
CORONAT|O FETE
King George and Queen
Pass Through Streets
of London.

LONDON, June 29-The important
coronation ceremonies came to a bril-
liant close today with the royal prog
ress through London, of King George
and Queen Mary, and their brilliant
escort. The King and Queen attended
divine service at st. Paurs and took
luncheon as the guests of the city OF
London at GuidhalL
The weather proved bright and fair,
and enormous crowds hailed the royal
couple as they made their way through
the streets in an open landau escorted
by the horse guards. accompanying
the King and Queen were the Prince Of
Wales and Princess Mary.
Despite the fact that many American
coronation visitors had already depart
ed for home, the United States still
had large representation in the multi
tude which lined the streets through
which the procession passed.
A feature of great interest in the pro-
cession was the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police, who had come from
Canada to take part in the coronation
ceremonies. and who were given an
honorary place in the ranks of the es-
cort today.
A brilliant congregation that fill
ed the ancient edifice to overlooking
gathered at st. PauTs cathedral to
greet the King and Queen. There
were many representatives of the
peerage, members of the House of
Commons. colonial ministers, eminent
divines, famous artists, scientists, and
financierS.
The service at the cathedral was
denominated a Thanksgiving service
for the King and Queen"
AS King George and Queen Mary
walked up the aisle the congregation
rose and Joined in singing the nation
al anthem.
The lord mayor accompanied by his
wife received the King and Queen at
Guildhall. The procession into the
famous hall was an impressive spec
tacle.
Before luncheon was served an en-
bossed address was presented to the
King in behalf of the city.
John Hays Hammond found himself
among great after-iinner speakers at
the banquet Of the Pilgrims, given in
honor Of the special American ambas-
sador. Arthur Balfour, the former prime
minister; the brilliant Augustin Birrell.
secretary for Ireland; and Chauncey
NJ. Depew were the other speakers OF
the evening. But although competition
was strong, Mr.. Hammond acquitted
himself creditaolv.
Mr.. Balfour stirred his hearers by
preaching alliance between United
States and Great Britain, referring to
their common interests and common
ideals as well as to their having the
same heritage.
OFFICERS Of the United States battle
ship Delaware were unable to- attend
the dinner, greatly to the regret Of the
pilgrims. The army was represented
by the officers who took part in the
horse show.
