Temperature is the most important
consideration in successful bread bak-
ing, according to Miss Hannah Was
sling, the governments bread expert,
She says that the oven should be at SO
degrees and that this should be de-
termined with thermometer.
Miss Wessling is now engaged in a
hunt for a successful substitute for
flour. Bananas, she declares, may in
time solve the substitution problem.
While she believes strongly in bread
made from entire wheat or graham
flour, she says that it is impossible to
give them the lightness that is desired.
Wealthy correspondents are frugal
and save pennies by writing congress
men, while local labor unions use the
more costly system of telegraphing,
according to the observation of Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois, republi-
can leader of the house.
"It's a peculiar thing" Mann re-
lates, "that capitalists and other veal
thy men almost uniformly seek the at
tention of congressman through the
mails, while labor unions often use
the telegraph"
Mann believes, at least so far as he
is concerned, that a letter received
gresham than telegram in Wash

ington. kilograms here are often de-
livered to a members home, instead
of to his office. They lost their
"punch" thereby, securing less con-
centrated attention. Brief, hasty, nom

TO kilograms, when a letter would re-
ceive more attention.

Washington Notes
In Lighter Vein
BY Burton X. Standish

written for the United Press)
Washington, Dec. 10.--Of all the
strange letters that reach the govern
ment daily none is stranger than the
affidavit of 4 New York man as to
his qualifications for office under the
Wilson administration. This letter has
Just come to the attention of Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo.
The gentleman, calmly and conf
IDENTIFY, let Secretary McAdoo into the
dark secret that the United States
government is losing money in not
having the services of a thoroughly
competent man every day that it neg
lects to put him on its payroll. He
spared nothing in his modest apprais-
al of his own virtues. In fact, he was
just the man for almost any job that
the secretary might have at his dis
posal.
And lest some one should think
that his fulsome praise came from an
exaggerated or untruthful source, Mr..
New Yorker calmly put it all down
in black and white, swore to it in the
presence of witnesses, and had no
tary public examine it and then put
on his big official seal.
All the pathos of life isn't hud-
died up in the slums of big city,
reports from field agents of the de-
partment of agriculture show. Here's
the story of a little cripple whose
only joy in life is watching tomatoes
grow. She lives in Alabama and the
field agent writes:
1.-TWO young girl members of to-
mato club with four friends set out
the tomato plants for the little sick
girl. She was carried out in a chair
to see the fruiting plants, and with
tears streaming down her face tried
to extend her thanks"
Then there's another girl "whose
father is so contrary" that he makes
her do all the cooking and washing
for four laborers, and won't reward
her with even few cans or new tops
so that she may help do some con-
ming with the other girls in the can
ming club. And little 12-year-old
girl in South Carolina is running a
small farm-not much more than
garden patch-because her father is
crippled. She even has to follow the
plow. Another girl and her grand
mother had to clear and fence a
farm" on an Alabama mountain top.
A number of newspaper CORES
pondents were trying to get a state
ment on the present situation in Mexi-
CO from Secretary of War Garrison
"Can you tell US how things stand in
Mexico today?" one of them asked.
eyes, can," Garrison replied, with
customary frankness. There was a
long wait.
"Well, will you tell u.s." finally
asked one of the reporters.
mo, l won't" was the frank ans
wer. Then after moment, the sec
retary said, 81 guess you boys must
feel as the little boy did who asked
his mother if he could go to the circus.
Can | go to the circus?' he asked.
and his mother replied that she sup
posed he could. May | go to the cir
cus?' the boy then asked.
You may not mother told him.
