| The bill authorizing the erection of a
| great armory and convention hall for
the National Guard of the District Of
Columbia at cost of s1,750.O was
passed by the Senate late yesterday after
noon. the bill was reported favorably
| from the public buildings and grounds
| committee of the Senate Friday
When the bill came up for considera-
| ton Senator Culberson of Texas objected
| to that provision authorizing the imme-
date appropriation of sc, LOCO for detailed
plans and specifications for the armory
and for beginning the work. He pointed
out that the entire $4,000 might be
used to pay for the plans After con-
siderable discussion the Senate amended
| the bill so as to make $4,000 available
| for the plans and specifications and left
| out the provision for beginning the work.
Question of Cost.
| Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia wanted
| to know why the federal government
| should pay the entire S1.75O,OO0 for the
armory. as provided in the bill. He
stated that armories in other cities were
not paid for by the federal government
Senator Sutherland. who had the bill in
charge, replied that the National Guard
| of the District was federal force, but to
| this Senator Smith answered that the
militia of all the states Is also part of
| the National Guard now, and part of the
| federal forces.
Senator Gallinger who introduced the
| bill, admitted the force of the argument
| made by Senator Smith. and said that
he would have no objection to having
| one-half of the cost of the armory paid
| for out of the District revenues and one
| half out of the federal Treasury, as al
most all ot:ser appropriations for the
District are made. Senator Sutherland
| agreeing, this amendment was finally
adopted and the bill passed.
1t was brought out during the debate
| that the armory will not only be home
| for the National Guard, but will also pro-
vide a long-felt want in the National
Capital. suitable convention hall For
| that reason. ii was said. the large sum
| asked for had been placed in the bill.
Might Be Used for Balls.
| Senator Gallinger referred to the fact
| Shat future inaugural balls could be
held in the armory. He said that in the
past it had cost the government about
$50, 600 every time an inaugural ball was
given in the Pension office building, and
that he had his doubts whether that
| building could be obtained again, who
ever the next President might be.
I'VE are interested In who the next
President will be and we do not wish to
have to wait until new armory Is built
before he is inaugurated." chorused Sem
ators Culberson and Hoke Smith, amid
a general laugh.
The new armory is to be erected on the
northern portion of the government res
ervation bounded by B street south, b
street north, 18th street west and 14th
| street west.

Difference Over Chinese Loan.


That certain differences have cropped
up between France and Russia since
last January is indisputable The first
rift in the lutte occurred in January. not
between the French ambassador and the
Russian minister of foreign affairs. but
between NJ. Sazanoff and NJ. Poincare. in
Paris. II turned upon the Chinese loan,
which the Russian minister would have
nothing TO do with under the conditions
then proposed, his reason being that
Russia had special interests in the far
east for which due allowance had not
been made
The French premier was naturally de-
sirous of working the matter out to
happy issue before NJ. Sazanoff quilted
Paris. but the uncompromisng attitude
assumed by the Russian foreign secre
tary received the unqualified approval of
the prime minister. And the entire inn
perial government steadfastly persisted
in this course until circumstances
changed sufficiently to justify their mod
flying their refusal TO participate in the
Chinese loan. That was the first cause
OF divergence between Russian and
French views. and the ambassador, NJ.
Louis, had nothing to do with 1t.

The second incident turned upon
near eastern affairs. and the source
of dissension was again Paris NJ.

forward with an independent suggestion
which. although In name appearing to

LONDON, June 15.-The imaginative

lay red eggs. There is always the best
market for hens eggs which are Of the
richest red-brown. a color that is natura

Unfortunately, the most prolific layers
will not follow the fashion, with the re.
suit that the eggs of the different varie'

have a quite different market value.

Law Works Well on Hens.
Hens have so far proved admirable ex-
amples of the working of the law. In
respect of single and double combs. and
in respect of color, they are perfectly
obedient to the proper scientific principle
They behave as they ought, to use the
technical verb. Why should not the
eggs behave equally not less well than
the feathers and the comb?
There also is the subsidiary question
of food. A good canary breeder car
make his birds the right color, merely

or a bullfinch black. Similarly, 1t may
be possible to alter the egg color by fooc

more marketable eggs? Some day, per.
