the figures weighs approximately twenty
five tons. In hosting the figures to their
lofty pedestals at the top of the six heavy
columns that form the facade of the
main entrance, the largest derrick ever
used in Washington is employed. AS the
pedestals are about fifty feet above the
ground, the frame of the derrick is con-
siderably higher, as allowance has been
made for the height of the several figures
and the necessary space to swing them
into place.

Other Features Unchanged.

In other respects the regulations re-
main unchanged from those previously in
force. The same mileage, sleeping and
parlor car allowances are allowed as
heretofore. and there has been no change
in the fees to porters, stewards and
aggagemen The old regulations in re-
gard to the use of the telegraph and
telephone on official business stin hold
good One of the general instructions
accompanying the regulations states that
no transportation charges for travel over
the Missouri Pacific railway from Atch<
son, Kan, to Watervihe, Kan. will be
allowed. as this section of the road is
"bond-aided.''
The regulations. although dated Octo
Der q. were not made public until yes
terday. 1t is expected that the work Of
printing copies will be completed by No
vember l. Printed copies will be sent
to every Office of the department which
has any connection with the travelling
agents of the department., and to every
employee who at any time is required to
travel on departmental business.

TIPS ARE PROVIDED
Treasury Agents Can Reward
Walters at Nations Expense.
INCREASE IN ALLOWANCE
More Money for Travelling Repre-
sentatives Only in New York
and Chicago, However.

According to the new travel regulations
for employees of the Treasury Depart
ment, made public yesterday by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, the department
has taken official cognizance of the in
creased cost of living in New York and
Chicago, at least. Five dollars day
was formerly the maximum allowance for
agents and employees Of the Treasury for
their lodging and meals when travelling,
and this rate still holds good in every
city and town of the country with the
exception of the two largest cities, where
another dollar has been added to the
daily allowance for expenses which must
not be exceeded.
The city hotel waiter has come in for
serious consideration by the authorities,
also. and Treasury employees who are al
lowed expense accounts may tip" wait
ers to the extent of 30 cents day and
Scope of the Tips.
His country cousin. the waiter at the
wayside inn or the town hotel. will have
to get along on the weekly stipend he
receives from his employer so far as the
Treasury Department is concerned. as 1t
is expressly pointed out that this item
can only be included in expense accounts
run up in cities of the relative population
of Washington. San Francisco. st. Paul,
Atlanta AMI the like or in larger cities.
The appearance of It's representatives
will also be considered in the future, &C
cording to the new regulations. There
will be no excuse for any agent of Uncle
Sans Treasury when travelling in the in
terestS of the department to appear with
his trousers baggy at the knees or his
coat wrinkled and impressed. Each one
of them is allowed 81 week to pre-
vent this horrible condition Of their
clothes, in addition to the item of dol
lar and a quarter for laundry. The de-
partment evidently thinks that it will
not become necessary to have suit
pressed more than once a week, because
the regulations only permit this item for
pressing when the traveller is away for
q week at the least.

Tax Rate For Frederick County
SO = Cents.

Frederick county's tax rate for the
year of 1912, will be $50 cents on the
one hundred dollars. This was deter
mined upon by the Board of County
Commissioners at a meeting which was
held recently, when the rate was fixed.
The State rate is 23}4 cents, making the
total levy, SI.I14. This county rate
will be levied against property of all de-
scriptlons, amounting to $50 22o, 746,
which is the basis for the levy.
lThis year the property making up the
State basis represents a value of $780,
2o5,674
The county rate this year is one-half
cent higher than last year. The County
Commissioners say that while the basis
was increased over a million dollars this
year, yet there were a number of ex-
pendltures made this year, which were
not needed last year. The basis this
year is estimated to produce $3.50. o5G.2I.
Last year the increase was a trife over
S275 600.
The amounts needed for running the
county, as estimated, and for which pro-
visions were made IN the levy, are as fol-
lows
