CLEANING OUT
THE PLUNDERERs

Copyright. isis by G II. Keys. New Yort.)
II one may judge from the news rec
ords OF the day the "get-rich-quick''
game has seen its best day. The forces
of decency. philanthropy, and business
seem to be combining TO stamp out the
nefarIous trade In fake stocks and
bonds. in fantastic plantation shares.
In fascinating CANDLES In mines which
have been the stock In trade OF the
''get-rich-quick" promoters In this coun-
try.
The real campaign began some three
years ago when the United States gov
ernment through the Post-office Depart
ment first began to prosecute with vigor
everybody that II caught using the mails
to defraud the public by distributing
crooked literature under the govern
ment stamp. Dozens of men who had
considered themselves prosperous and
even wealthy citizens and quite safe
from any serious harm found themselves
facing the strong probability of terms In
jail. In New York. Boston, and Phila-

came widespread campaign of pub
licity. Great daily newspapers and strong
magazines. which had never paid much
sttention to the "get-rich-quick" game,
found that the activity Of the govern
nent not cnly provided a great deal of
material which could not be obtained
tefore. but also made II very much
safer to come out and denounce the
swindling operations that they had al
ways known were being carried on
wholesale in the West. Hence came an
awakening Of public sentiment and a
general stirring OF the public conscience
which paved the way for still other steps
OF progress in this nationwide reform,
Then Western State, Kansas, pro-
mulgated and put upon its statute books
law that made 1t necessary for any
foreign corporation whose stocks and
bonds were offered for sale in this State
to undergo a rigid examination to OBJ
tain license before the selling could
begin The law found an able and
courageous officer to give IL life: and In
the first year of its operation out of
more than thousand applications for
licenses a bare twoscore and ten quail
fled as purveyors of possible wealth to
the public. The Kansas experiment is
being watched with a great deal of in
terest. A similar bill will shortly be
produced in Nebraska and probably in
several other Western States. and the
writer mas gone over a rough draft of
similar bill that may come up in New
York within twelve months 1t is said

MANY NEW MEMBERS
WILL Be SEATLESS
No Provision Made for Accommoda-
tion of Extra Representatives
in Next Congress.

II the next President Of the United
States should. after assuming ofice on
March next, promptly call an extra
session OF Congress ITO revise the tariff
or do any other odd jobs of legisla-
ton. some of the members of the new
House of Representatives will probably
be sitting in the galleries. or on the
steps leading to the Speakers chair
or on the floor of the aisles, or wherever
they can find resting spot. There
won't be room for them in the seats.
Neither Will there be any Office for them
in the House ONCE Building.
No provision has been made for ac-
commodating the enlarged membership
of the new House. which will be elect
ed this fall. The present House seats
59l members. The new House will have
total of i35. There is a commission
on reconstruction of the present hall.
but 1t has taken no action. and now
that Congress has scattered there is no
chance of anything being done until
next winter. at the earliest. The last
time the commission met was in July.
1t then considered a proposition from
the architects who have drafted a plan
of reconstruction. but decided not to go
ahead with it. This plan involves max
ing the hall of the House smaller, and
installing benches instead of desks. The
architects said II Congress adjourned
promptly this work could be finished a
short time before the winter session. But
the members of the commission were
skeptical, and anyhow, they hadn't made
up their minds that they wanted the
hall Of the House reduced in size. There
Is considerable opposition to this plan,
principally because of the belief that
some time later II would probably have
to be enlarged again and also because
the present hall is remarkably success
ful accoustically.
Matter Passed Up.
The commission just allowed the mat
ter to so over. This winters session
will be held in the old hall. which cam
not then be turned over to workmen be-
fore March 4. There is strong likelihood
of an extra session next summer, IT
some President takes office with a burn
ing desire to see party pledges immedi-
ately transformed into deeds Then
there will be no chance to do anything
with the old hall, except perhaps to put
in a few camp chairs for the forty-four
new members.
Further than that, these additional
members will have no offices. Every
room in the House Office Building is now
occupied. 1t is so constructed that a
sufficient number OF offices to care for
the enlarged House can be provided by
an extension on the fourth floor. but no
step has been taken toward accomplish
ing this. 1t will be big job, and all
next summer will not be too short a.
time to devote to It But while Congress
Is in session 1t is practically impossible
to perform the work.
There viii be n lot of grumbling among
the incoming Congressmen IL they are
not provided for somehow. Also, there
will be lot Of squabbling over who is
to be taken care of and who is to be
left standing around without a place to
hang his hat. Most of the older men,

SONS Form the Dominant Center
Of Interest In the Flower
Any display of cut flowers in q re-
ceptacle should make q picture in
which the lines and colors Of tbs
stems and blossoms form the domi-
nant center Of interest. Success in
the making Of such 4 picture Is very,
easy II one will be content with sim
plioity and naturalness, but 1t becomes
Increasingly difficult ~ n strives At
ter complexity and artistic finish.
In all pictures certain harmonies are
TO be desired. In flower pictures, the
chief OF these are the harmonies of
line and color. The harmoniss OF
line are determined by the habit Of
growth Of the plants used and the
forms Of the leaves and blossoms. The
simplest way to seouYs beauty In this
respect II to oonnns the display to n
type Of flower, and 80 that the lines
Of the stems and blossoms conform to
the lines Of the receptacle. Thus . few
large roses on long, straight steus
may b. displayed to great advantage
In 4 tall, cylindrical vase, while
smaller Yosss on shorter, more ira
gle stems are much moy effective
when shown in low, bread voss bowls.
Harmony Of coler IN . howsr ar.
ransement requires simply that the
flowers placed together shall not be
OF diacordant tones, and that they
shall combine attrActively with the
color OF the receptacle. The latter IL,
indeed. OF the greatest importance tn
the making Of the flower pictures. for,
II not simple in form ana modest in
color, 1t viii spoil the beauty Of any
flowers with which 1t Ia used.
Pottery Jars and vasss useful ~
flower reoeptacles may be had In an
almost bewtidering variety Of sizes,
shapes and colors. and at q great
range of prices. The more costly
forms are not by any means always
the most beautiful, and one can often
get, for q few cents, Jars Of good form
and color that serve admirably for
holding flowers.
AS regards form. two chief types Of
flower receptacles are needed in any
home where cut flowers are ~tastefully
arranged-the tall and slender and the
short and broad. The first are neces-
sary TO display the graceful lines Of
lilies, irises, giadioi and other slender
long stemmed flowers; the second to
show to advantage roses, peonies. as
tiers, Sweet peas and other short
vtemmed blossoms. OF course. various
intermediate forms can be used to ad-
vantage tor such flowers ~ datodils
and other types OF the narcissus. but.
IN general, the most useful Jars belong
