A dining table, which also came in

the arrangement of the dining room
most tasteful.
The floor is covered with a rag

The cupboard was bought in a sec

costly finish, it was stained a dead

BAZAAR

Samples of all sorts were begged
from various firms and sold at mod

combination boxes of soap and face
powder for the traveller, new brands
of cereal or coffee in small packages,
an assortment of vaseline of all kinds
in compact case, tiny tubes of tooth
paste, boxes of seeded raisins, cans
of baking powder and stove backing
were among the articles that found a
ready sale.
The fancy work table, which e
usually robber-in-chief at a bazaar,
was none the less attractive because
nothing on it cost more than 81.
There were cards with two tiny vel

FURNISHING 4 HOME

any inexperienced man or woman
who is anxious to have good-looking

at their disposal and IT was necessary
TO hire one. Consequently. it was pos
sible 10 make only ten trips during the
season, each inspection tour costing $.
These trips were made under the direc-
tion OF James E. Nyman, one Of the
custom-house officers.
II Is necessary to make the trips at
night, so that the boats violating the
rules can be actually seen breaking the
law. There Is no appropriation for the
employment OF night officers, and In past
years the day oficers have been com
pelled to perform the inspection work.
Il am convinced that conditions on
the river are perilous" said Mr.. koogie,
Yesterday afternoon. Il dare say there
are several hundred launches and other
small craft on the river. A large per-
centage Of these undoubtedly fail to COM
ply with the pilot rules. 1t will be found
that comparatively few persons in
charge of small boats on the river are
ACQUAINTED with the nautical whistles
and other signals.
Ignorant of Signals.
"on the night of May 80. made a
trip down the river aboard the steamer
Charles Manchester for the purpose OF
observing small craft. About an hour
or so after dark, We saw a small launch
ahead Of US. The Manchester was well
toward the west side Of the channel, and
the launch was on the extreme east
edge. Our pilot sounded one short blast
Of the whistle, which any person ac-
auainted with the pilot rules knows TO
mean that we intended to direct our
course to our own starboard. Instead OF
the launch directing its course TO its
own starboard and passing on our port
side, II Immediately turned to its poft
,-a nrfr hi II EIlrh
as this that caused the collision be-
tween the Angler and the Lotus little
more than a week ago, causing the
death Of two young women"
Mr.. Koogle said that while custom
house officials are not required to in
spect the engines and hulls of launches
as is done by the Steamboat Inspection
Service employees of large steamers,
they are expected to patrol the waters
as often as possible and observe viola
tions of the rules regarding lights.
whistles, and life prsservers. Persons
violating the provisions Of the law are
liable 10 a fine Of not more than 500
for each Offense.
VIII Go After CanoeIsts.
It is generally believed by custom
house officers that one Of the most
dangerous parts Of the river Is in the
vicinity OF AqueduCt Bridge, where
nightly scores and even hundreds Of
canoes without lights are pulled about
silently while power launches cut the
waters at high speed utterly unaware
that smaller craft are all about them.
But few of the Conoeists observe the
law which provides that a light shall
be carried. II the CustOm-hOuse on
cials find it possible TO make a small
crusade in the near future, II will un-
doubtedIy first be directed against the
Canoeists- Twelve Canoeists were ar
rested one night during one OF the
trips last summer

FUNDS ARE INSUFFICIENT
FOR PROPER INSPECTION
Crusade of The Washington Herald
Bears Fruit, and Outlook for
Improvement Is Bright.

As a result Of The Washington Herald's
vigorous campaign for adequate and
systematic inspection Of small craft on
the Potomac and tributary waters, recti-
fcation Of the serious existing evils is
not far distant. The auspicious star Of
victory is even now visible on the distant
horizon. WhiteheId McKinlay, collector
Of the port OF Georgetown, who is IN
tensely interested in the crusade, an
nounced last night that he would not give
up the field of battle until some salts
factory solution of the present deplor-
able conditions had been reached.
NIr McKinIay will hold a conference
this afternoon with officials Of the Bu-
reau Of Navigation for the purpose OF
discussing the situation and of arriving
II possible, at some answer to the prob
lem which stares the people OF the Dis
trict in the face. The collector Of the
port OF Georgetown has two propositions,
either OF which will be satisfactory to
him, and will clear up the cloud OF
trouble which hangs like a pail over the
waters Of the Potomac.
Needs Money for Work.
He must either be granted a large
enough appropriation 10 conduct a thor
Ough and systematic inspection of small
craft, or the inspection OF such boats
must be transferred to the Jurisdiction
Of the Bureau Of Navigation. where it
might well bel ng. or TO that Of the
Steamboat Inspection Service, where II
would even more logically rest. Mr.. Nc
Klnlay is determined that the present
Inactivity shall not continue as il has
for many years in the past
We should have an appropriation large
enough TO maintain a small launch for
the purpc Sc OF making cruises about the
river and 10 employ an officer who could
devote all Of his time TO the work. These
inspections should be conducted every
night on the river-not FIVE or ten times
