PUT THROUGH THE BILL
FOR HALL OF RECORDS
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

10 the EDITOR or The TIMES:
Let us pray Congress to consider Sen
ator O'Gorman's bill for a Hall of Rec
ords before it becomes too late. 1t is
strictly a business proposition. The
Government is now paying rent for
widely strewn and inadequate quarters
to an amount representing interest on
a hundred millions Of dollars. Where
can you find such waste and extrava-
gance in the methods of a private cor
poration?
The present condition of our priceless
records is one courting disaster; in some
cases the storage rooms are veritable
under boxes.
The Government forces are distributed
II such fashion as to interfere with the
dispatch of business.
Why not complete the one third con-
structed Agricultural building and gath
er the clerks from the rented shacks?
Then, too, in addition to supplying
tnese necessities we shall be two more
artlstic monuments nearer to making

Notice to Contributors

The Times is deeply gratified by
: the popularity which the Mail
Bag Department has attained,
and II will continue to serve as
a forum for the people. 1t is
obvious, however, that in order
to do justice to all concerned,
communications must be re.
duced hereafter to the -briefest
possible form.
The limit will, therefore, be ex-
tended to ESQ words, beyond
which we cannot guarantee
publication, even where all
other rules are complied with.
Where communications exceed 200
words, we shall be compelled
to ignore them altogether. A
strict compliance with all the
other rules previously estab-
= lished will be insisted upon, as
q matter Of course.

GROWS SARCASTIC AT
, BACONIAN'S EXPENSE

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
It seems to me that 1t would be a good
plan for e. H. Sothern to stick to act
ing and not bother his head about the
Bacon-shakespeare controversy, about
which he knows little. All the great
cities of the world have referred to
Lord Bacon as being a great poet.
Every schoolboy or even an actor-would
discover this by reading his essays,
which can be had in any book shop for
10 cents. William Shakespeare was
nothing else than a lout actor.

CENSUS CLERKS PRAYER
ON TAKING LEAVE
To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Please print the following:

GREAT SAINTS: AS we are about to de-
part from this Noble affair we beseech you
TO be merciful unto us on our homeward
walk. Lead us not into a farmers yard in
which might stray a vicious dog. Bring forth
a little dampness to settle the dust, soften
the ties, and let light hang over every
stream and pool OF mud to save our feet from
the humiliation of getting wet. Forgive us
our faults and for coming to this city OF
corruption at the call OF our fathers; forgive
shortcomings and our debts as we
forgive our debtors who fed before we got to
see them. We ask 1t all for the sake of E.
Dana Durand. who has blessed us with his
dismissals. J. r. r.

MOVING PICTURE SHOWS
TEACH GOOD LESSONS
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The moving picture theaters do not
confine themselves to fictitious things.
Films are often shown depicting the
interiors of factories, the gathering of
rubber, the growing of tea. A local
theater recently displayed films show
ing young girls sweeping, washing
dishes, and helping their mothers in
various other ways. Many young girls
in the audience were greatly interested
in these unfamiliar scenes.

An eminent archaeologist's explo-

Eighty-fve dollars less $50, shows that
he in the end had $35 for his horse,
where, after the first sale he had S45.
This means that the subsequent sale
and purchase cost him loss of SO,
which is very simple. being the differ
ence between $50 and $40. 1t is a fall
lacy to make the first sale and re-
purchase one transaction. To every
transaction there must be one purcha Sc
and one sale. We will presume that
the horse had been purchased before
being sold the first time, therefore the
first sale closed the first transaction
and the re-purchase and second sale
constituted the complete second trans
action, and on this second transaction
he loses $40 on both of above solutions.
What the horse originally cost him or
the result to him through the first
transaction Is immaterial and has moth
ing to do with the solution.
