Hope to Enlist 100 Members

brings into line practically all of the
organizations devoted to fighting the
liquor traffic.
Senator John D. Works has written a
letter of appreciation to Rexford l..
Holmes. president of the District of Co
lumbia Christian Endeavor Union, in
which he says that the Jones-Works ex-
else bill should be commended and sup
ported by all good citizens.
Much interest Is being displayed
among members in-the poll that the ag-
gressive workers are making. Some
of the names published as in favor of
the bill have walked quiet smiles on the
faces of fellow-members who swear that
they know the published supporters are
not In favor of the bill, and would not
commit themselves II they thought the
bill would ever come before the House.

WICKERSHAM AVOIDS
ALL PETTY CRAFTS
Attorney General Refuses to Use
Government Frank for His
Speeches.

For careful supervision, of department
expenditures-careful, from his stand
point-Attorney General Wickersham
probably is more exacting than most
Cabinet officers. 1t has long been the
custom of Government officers to make
use of the little emoluments which come
within their prerogatives Thus a Cab
met officer would, in most cases, believe
himself entitled to use of the franking
privilege even when sending out per-
sonal letters If he made a, speech he
would have the Government Printing
Office print 1t at Government expense.
But not SO with Wickersham. II he
addresses any member of his family by
mail he uses stamp which he pays for
himself. If he sends out any mail mat
ter which might under any circum-
stances be construed as private business
and not strictly concerned with the
Governments affairs, he pays for the
postage. When he makes a speech, and
his friends send in for copies, he has II
printed at his own expense.
1t is not so long ago that Secretary
Knox was severely criticised by House
committee for keeping his valet on the
payrolls Of the State Department as a
messenger.

Is salary of SIS a week sufficient to
support three persons7 Unable to an
swer this question. the United States
immigration officials today passed 1t W
to Secretary Of Commerce and Labor
Nagel to decide. The Secretary's de-
cision may be expected to throw some
light on the knotty problem on the high
cost of living.
When Mary Fleming. aged fifty-six'
and her sister. Cecelia, aged fifty-eight.
landed at New York several days age
with $115 in their possession. the immi-
grafton officials there feared that the
two women would become public
charges on account OF their age.
They said that a cousin. John F,
Byrnes. had agred to support them.
Byrnes testified that he got $25 week
as a reporter for a Wall Street publica-
ton.
The officials feared that his salary
would not be sufficient to keep himself
and the two women, so they referred
the matter to the department here. II
was suggested that Byrnes had all he
could do to keep himself on $25.

WOMAN WAITS FOR
RIVAL; STAYS HER
Tennessee Woman Shoots Neigh
Dor AS Latter Steps Out
of House.

. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. IA
Concealed in a cluster of rose bushes
in the rear yard of her home, Mrs. Sar-
ah Echols waited two hours for her
next door neighbor, Mrs. Georgia
Smith. to appear and then shot and
killed her with shotgun. Mrs. Echols
had made the charge frequently that
the slain woman was too friendly with
her husband
When Mrs. Smith fell from the rear
porch Mrs. Echols ran into her own
home, told her husband what she had
done and then insisted that he accom-
pany> her to the police station. They
surrendered to the policemen attracted
to the home by the shot, and both were
placed under arrest.
The trouble between the two families
was neighborhood gossip, and yesterday
morning Mrs Echols took up a position
in front of the Smith home, vowing to
friends that she was going to shoot
Mrs. Smith II she left her home. These
friends induced the woman to 70 into
her own house, but she went into the
back yard and hid behind the roses.
She knew Mrs. Smith invariably ap-
peared about o'clock to take in bread
and milk left by tradesmen, and when
Mrs. Smith appeared at that hour the
shooting occurred

WORK OF CHILDREN
ON EXHIBITION IN
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Articles Made by Younger
School Pupils at Play
grounds.

Visitors to the Public Library today
gasped with astonishnent and admira-
tion at the handicraft of children of
! tender age, work done this summer at
y the school Fairgrounds and assembled
in q comprehensive exhibition under the
i direction of Miss 8. A. Tichenor. super
visor of Industrial work on the play
grounds
Basketry and crocheted work of
many kinds are exhibited. Some of the
articles were made by girls as young as
seven and eight years. Among the hum
dreds of exhibits lis a woven needle
case, made at the Henry School ground
by Miss Goldie Sankko or, who Is just
eight years old.
Children of ten years have work on
exhibition which would be almost i'm
possible of accomplishment by many
adults A handbag crochetted of silk
lustre-thread, knitted by Thelma Ken
nedy, a ten-year-old Congress Heights
child, Is one of the objects on view.
The nimble fingers of Helene Hoffman.
646 Fifth street northeast, made several
articles which are exhibited, including a
basket of reed work. The basket was
woven at the Ludlow school playground.
Another remarkable basket was made
by Miss Rose Levy. of Anacostia, at the
ketchum School playground.
Helen Schatz, who lives at 43S Ninth
street southwest, and who attended the
Jefferson School playground. contribut-
ed a little hat of woven straw to the
exhibition. Miss Schatz is just nine
years of age a E>
The articles named are only a few
of the HUNDREDS oS view. Practically
all the work was done voluntarily. The
little girls do not have TO be coaxed
to ply knitting needles or to weeve the
strands of rafia into baskets and bowl
shaped forms, almost as beautiful In
their lines as an old Greek vase.
"The work is all done on the play
grounds" said Miss TIchenor, "and
that, of course, means that the children
are doing 1t themselves and not having
adult assistance at home"
Nine white and six colored school
grounds were utilized for this play
ground work, which is distinct from the
municipal playground work maintained
nv the District, this being under the
Board of Education, with DR.. Rebecca
Stoneroad as the general director. II is
hoped that funds will be available next
year for the opening of Fairgrounds at
more schools. The appropriation given
so far is but little more than 81 900 a
year, and extra money is raised by the
teachers during the winter months.
The exhibition at the library will con-
tinue tomorrow and Friday, during
regular library hours.
