Forty Thousand Homeless Along
the Mississippi.
10000 MORE ARE DESTITUTE
United States Troops May Be Sent
To the Valley To Assist In Dis
trlbuting Relief and To
Preserve Order.

Washington. - After a talk with
President Taft Major General Leon
ard Wood, chief of staff of the Army,
predicted that more than 10000 per-
sons would be made homeless and
more than 10000 others would have to
be fed as result of the Mississippi
River flood. General Wood based his
prediction on reports already received
from Army officers now in the field.
The War Department will move as
rapidly as possible to take care OF
the homeless and needy in the flooded
districts. Brigadier General Ramsay
ID. Potts, at Chicago, temporarily COM
manding the central division, will
have direct charge of the distribution
of supplies and tents.
1t was said that probably many
companies of United States troops
eventually would have to be sent TO
the Mississippi Valley to assist in the
distribution and to help preserve or
der. As quartermaster department
officers in the field call for troops they
will be dispatched in small detach-
ments.
General Wood said the National Red
Cross intended to send scores Of set.
Element workers into the flooded coun,
try to help in caring for the homeless,
and also to see that those able TO
work do not impose on the govern.
ment's charity.
President Taft sent letters to
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the House APP
preparations Committee, and Senator
elect James, of Kentucky bearing on
relief measures for the Mississippi
River flood sufferers
It do not think it wise to make any
appropriation for the purpose of buy
ing food and other supplies until Off
GERS reach the ground and give us
some idea of the amount needed and
the extent of the suffering and destitu
ton" said Mr.. Taft in his letter tC
Mr.. Fitzgerald
Meantime, before any appropria
ton is made he continued, the Sec
rotary of War will not hesitate 10 use
of the Army supplies whatever is i'm
mediately needed. and have no doubt
that he has near at hand sufficient
amount to relieve such suffering

SIDEWALK CLOCK BARRED.
Application for Permit to Place One
Denied bv Commissioners

A ban has been placed by the Commits
of fine arts on the erection of large clocks
on sidewalks in Washington. Recently a
drug firm on F street applied for permits
sion to erect clock on the sidewalk in
front of it's property. The District heads
referred the matter to the commission of
fine arts, that body deciding that clocks,
being distractions on sidewalks or in the
vista along the street generally are to bc
regarded as Objectionable from an archi-
tectural standpoint.
The Commissioners. in the particular in
stance have refused the request. stating
that the clock would interfere with the
proposed lighting system to be establishe d
on f street, and that they know of no
public necessity for the establishment of
any additional sidewalk clocks in that
vicinity.

Toothpicks have been banished from
the commons Of the University OF Chi
cago because the students are said to
use them carelessly: hut some say that
the use of the toothpick is vulgar,
whether it be quill, wood. gold. bone
or the little blade of jaclknife.
The use of the pick is old. Martial
tells US what woods the Romans pre-
ferred. Admiral Coligny was known by
his toothpick. which. inactive. rested in
saying among Catholics and Hugue-
nots: Beware of the admiral with the
toothpick." Is there not little bird

Of toothpicks. bone OF ivory. that some
men in the sixties sported as watch
his beard or over an ear. and there was
charm. or carried in waistcoat pocket?
We forget the exact number of picks IN
the case. Was there one for each day
in the week. and We're they all numbered
or lettered?
