'"The committee believes" says the re-
port that public attention ought TO
be called to this case-because II one
officer is allowed favors and immunity
for political services or influence, II
must be a pernicious example TO all
others, and II is hard to see how the
army can resist becoming poiucal

Senator. Penrose said this Afternoon
he might have a statement to give
out later in the day in reply to the
attacks on himself. He would not
indicate it's nature. Whether he would

him to make he did not say.

A large cipher with a nick in 1t Is
fairly representative of what the clos
ing session of Congress has accomplish
ed in the way of District of Columbia
legislation.
While a few bills of comparatively
minor Importance have been passed,
substantially all of the more important
legislation desired by the people OF the
District has failed, either through lack
of quorum of the House District Com
mittee or through the failure of the
measures in conference.
At intervals, during the nine months
session, Congress has devoted an hour
or so to District bills. AS a rule these
bills concerned the opening of a street,
or a matter of similar import.
No Quorum For Months.
The House District Committee has
not had a quorum in months. Probably
not three of the twenty-one members
of the committee would be able to say
today when the last meeting was held.
The subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee have been more pro-
ductive of results. Reports have been
filed on the taxation system, the gas
companies and the hospitals of the city.
Early in the session Speaker Clark
and Majority Leader Underwood prom

session, provided the House followed Its
usual practice and deprived the District
of any of its regular days. The prom
ises of the Speaker and Mr.. Under
wood might have been fulfilled IL the
calendar had embraced important Dis
trict bills. The failure of the House
committee to report measures of gem
eral interest, however, made 1t practi-
cally useless to accord the District time

The House District Committee has
proven the cemetery for three meas

The Senate has put up to" the
House other measures of general i'm

exhibition of indecent pictures.

WANTED-oLp TEXTBOOKS.

The government wants gifts of old
or rare textbooks-at least, the gov
eminent bureau of education does.
Government bureaus are so in the
habit of giving away documents in
stead Of receiving them that a request
like this warrants attention.
The point is that the United States
Bureau of Education is endeavoring
70 get together the finest possible col
lection Of textbooks in English, French,
German, Spanish, Italian, Scandi-
navian, Dutch, and Greek languages

many educators and investigators who

documents in the. past may return the
compliment now with an occasional
textbook Of by-gone days An anti
quated Speller or a musty Xnophon
may be just the book needed to fill an
important gap in textbook history.
The library of congress is aiding in
the task, and the bureau would ap-
preciate gifts from individuals as we'll.
When this library is complete" says
Commissioner Claxton, sit should be-
com the mecca of all students of this

In the meantime, the bureau con-

libraries may be secured by teachers
and bona ffde students of education,
either through the local library or d.
rectly from the bureau Of education,
under certain conditions. Requests
should be made to the librarian.
Another important assistance rem
dered by the bureau is to commissions
