RESIDES IN HOUSE BUILDING
Congressman Adamson is Only Man
In Congress Who Sleeps
In House.

Judge William Charles Adamson.
congressman from the Fourth district
OF Georgia, is the only man in con-
gross who has his Washington resi-
dence In the house office building.
The solons in providing for the
house building made a point OF exclud-
ing beds or lounges. Sofas and 9TH
er couches are permitted In the SEN
ate office building, but not on the
house side.
Judge Adamson, now chairman of
the interstate and foreign commerce
committee, was not satisfied with this
arrangement. He has been used to
taking nap every day in his law Of
fee at Carrollton, and declares that
coming congress would not deprive
him of his siestas.
He made still hunt through the
house office building for room in a
retired nook where he could take his
nap. He found It, and in the course
of few days secured a broad, thick
plank, cut from a Georgia turpentine
tree, which he supported on two soap
boxes and covered with an army
blanket. and made a snug couch, with
natural spring in the middle. That
became the Washington residence"
of Adamson.

HUGE MONEY VAULT PLANNED

A steel ribbed, indestructible FIVE

meath the United States assay ice
in New York and capable of holding
2.O00,00O.000 in gold is planned by
Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury
department. 1t will be the largest
money vault in the world
Looking into the future, Secretary
MacVeagh believes the vault is a ne
cessity for the convenience and safety
of the nations wealth. Gold is pur-
chased by the United States govern
ment at the rate of 100000, 900 a
year.
This treasure, against which gold
certificates are issued. is distributed
the country over in the vaults of the
treasury, subtreasuries, mints and as
say offices. Within few years 1t Is
estimated the entire storage capacity
of these buildings will have been con-
sumed.

BIG BARGAIN SALE.

The biggest bargain sale of machin-
cry in history is promised upon the
completion of the Panama canal. To
dispose of machinery costing more
than $15,000,000 is the problem con-
fronting government authorities when
the canal is opened.
Although understood in general
way, Colonel Goethals, superintendent
of the canal work, reports actual fig
ures of machinery bought since the
United States began digging the big
ditch Here are a few of the prin,
cipal items: Steam shovels, 102; cars,
4,1S1; locomotives, 1S9; rock drills.
1926; cranes. 70; dredges, IA; barges,
"A.
Many of the locomotives and cars
will be useful in operating the canal
and the Panama railroad, but most of
the dredges, steam shovels and noun
tains of other steel implements will be
put on the block for sale.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher has
suggested the plan of transferring
much of the discarded machinery to
Alaska for use in constructing a gov
ernment railroad to the interior of
that territory. If congress does not
authorize the federal railway in Alas
ka, however, most of the Panama ma
chinery will be sold for the best price
1t will bring.

SENATORS GET CANNON.

The senate demanded cannon--and
got them. There were cannon to the
right of them, cannon to the left of
them, cannon ahead of them, but the
only 'volleying and laundering" that
was done was the laundering of in
dividual senators for more cannon. All
of the troubles of the waning session
were forgotten in the getting of the
guns.
Senator O'Gorman caused the trou'
BILE when he called up bill granting
condemned cannon to half hundred
towns throughout the country. to be
placed in public squares, the grounds
of public buildings and about state
armories. No sooner had the bill been
read than there arose a chorus OF
Mr.. President" from the floor. Sen
ator Jones of Washington got cannon
for half a dozen towns in his state
Senator Pomerene of Ohio was grant
ed one gun. Senator Catron of New
Mexico got two Finally John Sharp
Williams arose and drawled:
I'D like a cannon for some place in
Mississippi to be designated later"
There won't be enough cannon to
go round" remarked Senator MARITIME.
I'VE want to shoot some down in
Kentucky" declared Senator Bradley.
Two cannon, suitably trimmed, for
Lancaster, KY" read the clerk.
Didn't say l wanted them trim
med?" said Bradley, but he accepted
the outfit of cannon balls" when the
term was explained
The bill finally disposed of some 1O5
cannon.

TURKEYS FOR ARMY WORMS.

From a farmer at Groveland, Ga.
came a tip to congress of a way to rid
the south of the army worm.
NJ. M Kicklighter wrote letter, In
red ink throughout, to the House OF
Senate" telling of his discovery.
81 saw your advertisement in the At
lanta paper for aid to check the army
worms" it began. Il had ten acres of
corn and the army worms had just
started in l drove my turkeys in my
field and they ate the army worms up
in two days, and If it had not been for
my turkeys l would have lost 800
bushels OF corn by those worms.
so please send me check for said
amount. for that is the only way to
destroy the army worms"
Congress recently appropriated $25'-
600 to eliminate the worm.

MUST LAY LARGER EGGS.

Poultry experts in the department
of agriculture have undertaken to
teach the farmers of the country how
to save about $5O,OO0,ooo on eggs a
year
1T is a conservative estimate" said
M. e. Pennington of the poultry di-
vision of the department. that more
than $45,00o,O0O are lost annually by
the handling of eggs for the market
Among other things the department
experts will urge the farmers to en-
courage their hens to lay larger eggs,
and less sterile eggs for market pur-
poses.
By the cooperation of the farmer
and the hen, Mr.. Pennington argues,
the cost of living can be lowered to
the average man. II the S45,000.000 OF
$50 100000 now lost annually can be
saved every man, woman and child in
the United States will be at least 80
cents better OF.

brings In something worthy of men
ton. The latest information of hui
man interest comes in a contribution
from France. 1t was printed in an
editorial in the Bulletin des Halles,
the Partisan retail market register. 1t
follows:
Contents of the human body:
'Compilers OF statistics know no
bounds. One of our most brilliant
physicist, whose speculations in the
region OF human chemistry have led
him to make most exhaustive re-
searches, has analyzzed the human an
atomy into its convertible components.
He reports as follows:
"A normal man of lao pounds con-
tains In reducible nutritive principles
the equivalent of 10000 hens eggs.
The gas of the human organism is
sufficient to initiate a balloon of 10000
cubic feet
"A human body contains sufficient
Iron to make four nails of FIVE cent?
gramms weight.
"A man of this weight contains
enough fat to make rs candles and
leave over enough grease to make
scraps of Marsellles soap.
There is sufficient quantity of phos-
phorus to make s,O45 boxes of parlor
matches.
The hydrogen portion of the hui
man gas content would fill balloon
that would lift the weight of the con-
tributor.
In addition to the foregoing the
human body contains also six tea
spoonfuls of salt, basin of sugar and
80 quarts of water
With characteristic French cyni-
cism the analyst concludes:

these valuable contents, could not be

WANTED ARTIFICIAL LEGS.

Charles Mitchell a Polish miner
who lost his legs in a West Virginia
mine several months ago, came here
the other day to get pair of artificial
legs. He was told by friend in West
Virginia that Congressman had wood

other things to give away Upon be-
ing advised that artificial limbs are
not to be had at the Capitol for the
asking. Mitchell became downcast. He
was sent to a public lodging house by
police officers.

vendor on Pennsylvania avenue, said;
