DISTRICT EMPLOYEES

Difficulties Threatened As
Result of Extension Of
Appropriations.

Difficulties are threatened in the way
OF payment of salaries of employees of
the District after July /, by the Joint
resolution extending appropriations for
the operations and OF the District and
Federal governments. according to inter-
pretations placed upon the measure by
District officials.
A provision In the sundry civil bill of
1907 provides that all monthly and
annuol salaries shall be compuated on
basis of thirty days in the month or
$50 days to the year.
The resolution now before Congress,
which extends current appropriations
for period of fifteen days, provided the
appropriation bills have not been passed
by July /, the beginning of the fiscal
year, provides that the amounts shall
be expended on the basis of 3SJ days to
the year.
A complicated situation with be in
volved, It is said. as the disbursing Of

ernments win not know on which tasis
TO make payments and 1t is believed
the question will be referred to the

refused even to consider the suggestion,
and up to date no other aspirant has
been discovered.

choices are Governors Hadley OF Mis-

The position Is purely honorary. The
prime object in securing the place is to

ON ARMY MEASURE
Secretary Stimson Leads
Fight to Save Gen. Wood J
for Service.

Unless all signs fail President TAR
Will veto the army bill which carries
legislation affecting the army which
War Department officials term
vicious"
Strong pressure is being brought 70
bear on the President to veto the bill
and at todays Cabinet meeting the mat
ter was threshed out for more than an
hour. 1t is known Secretary Stimson is
going to fight to the last ditch against
that provision which legislates General
Wood out of office as chief of staff al
ter March 4 next.
Every official of the department who
discussed the matter today was bitter
in denouncing the bill and censured the
Congressman who are arrayed against
General Wood In no uncertain terms.
The charges OF a conspiracy against
General Wood and others, that were
aired in the House debate yesterday are
mild in comparison with the description
Of the action of the Democrats and cer-
tain Republican Senators.
Petty politics." absurd legislation"
and CROOKED craftsmanship are some
of the terms applied to the action of
the lawmakers in reorganizing the

they may be black with the design

BRIDES TABLE LINEN
BEST PLAN FOR ESTABLISHING
AND REGULATING SUPPLY.
Expense May Be Very Measurably De-
creased BY Care and Attention, As
Needs Of Growing Family
Must Be Satisfied.

A bride in modest circumstances
will ind four tablecloths an ample
supply at the start A good plan is to
add one tablecloth and one-half or one
whole dozen Of napkins (accordlng to
the number in the family each year.
In this way the supply OF table linen
Is kept up. When the family Is small
the tablecloth measuring, two yards
square is correct. The two and one
half yards by two yards cloth Is suf
ficiently large for a table seating six
to eight persons.
The damask that comes by the
yard. two yards wide. at one dollar a
yard, Is very fair quality for every
day use. The bordered cloth. two
yards square, will probably cost $3.50,
the linen about the same grade as the
yard goods.
Napkins costing from two to three
dollars dozen will match these
cloths. At the first price the napkins
win measure 20 inches square. These
are intended for breakfast and sup
per. Dinner napkins will measure 81
inches, and very fair quality may be
bought for a quarter apiece. OF
course, set of cloth and napkins
may be added and held in reserve for
use when company is being enter
tained. Very often this set comes in
the form Of a wedding present. but
four tablecloths and three dozen nap.
kins will be enough for a small fam
lily.
In choosing table linen large de-
signs should be avoided. There IA
nothing more satisfactory in the long
run than the dot design showing q
handsome border. II carefully darned
as soon as signs of wear appear the
pattern can be followed so the mend
ing will be invisible.
The linen must bear the initials Of
your maiden name.
These are embroidered in white, the
letters about two inches high. across
one corner three inches or so above
the hem.
The napkins are marked in thu
same way, the size of the letters beint
reduced proportionately.
