Favors Uniform Architecture.

The discussion brOadencd out to other
buildings in the National Capital. and
Senator Williams took occasion to plead
the city. After praising many of the
buildings he continued:
"In one case. at any rate. we can see
what blotch has been made This new
post office building on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. is a sort of cross between a medieval
town hall and modern brewery. It's
presence destroys the great picture that
Pennsylvania avenue after while will
present when il is all lined with great
-pillared. classic buildings, in har-
mony with one another and in harmony
with the original classic architectural
plan of the city of Washington, which,
in my opinion. ought never to be departed
from"
The adoption of the armory amend
ment. by vote of 30 to 26 followed.
One of the most stubborn of the fights
on the District items was that against
the memorial bridge project, and the
fight threatened several times to become
a flibuster against the whole bill. Twice
during the discussion of the bridge
amendment motions to adjourn were
made by opponents. but both times the
Senate refused to adjourn. Finally a
compromise was reached whereby the APP
preparation was cut from $5,OO,CO0 to
S1.oUoG00 and then was agreed to.
Another stubborn fight was that against
the building for the American Red Cross
as memorial to the loyal women of the
civil war. Southern senators thought that
the women of the Confederacy should
also be honored. but northern senator's
insisted there was no sectionalism in the
proposal vt one time the entire propo-
sition was stricken from the bill, but it
was later reinsertcd by narrow mar
gin vote.

Senator Sutherland warmly defended
the armory project.
IF the senator could have taken the
trip about the city that | took some lit
tie time ago and visited these various
quarters rented for the District National
Guard. 7 think ne would have had a
somewhat different idea as to the neces-
s!ty of providing quarters for these
men said Senator Sutherland. THE

streets just beyond the War Department

EATS HAILSTONES AND DIES.
Five-Year-Old Boy Stricken With
Acute Indigestion,

SOUTH ORANGE. y. j.. February 81
The eating of hailstones caused an at
tack of acute indigestion and the sudden
death of five-year-old Luther Quinn, son
of Mrs. Vivien Quinn, here yesterday.
The boy gathered the stones during a
brief hailstorm and they looked so much
like candy that ne was tempted to eat
them. The physician who was called
when he became painfully i'll declared
that the acute Indigestion had been caused
by the violent chilling from the icy glob-

Lack of Accommodations.

There are not sufficient accommoda-
tons in that room for the men to hang
their clothing. Space that would ordi-
narily be given to one man is given over
TO two or three men. There is no room
to put their overcoats away, and they
are compelled when they have finished
using their overcoats. to store them in
dry goods boxes to lie there until they
are needed the next time. perhaps being
put away i'm damp condition to mildew
and To be destroyed. They have no place
to drill. but are compelled to go out into
the streets. and while they are engaged
in drilling dodge automobiles. In another
place We have a fire trap back of the
market in which we have stored over
100000 worth of government supplies
that may at any time be destroyed by
fire.
1T does seem to me that Ii there is
anything in the way of building that
is necessary in this District 1t is build
ing for the National Guard. 1t is not
like tho ordinary guard. 1t is not
District Guard. as the senator intimates,
but it is an organization created by the
laws of the United States. and of that
organization the President of the United
States is the comma nderin-chief. They
are subject to the call of the federal gov
eminent: they are not District troops. 1t
IL as much our duty to take care of
them as it is to take care of any part of
the regular army of the United States.

We are asked to publish Section 3
of Chapter 1S9 of the Public Laws of
1918. which was aimed at the public
highway nuisance-the pastering of
guide boards and their vicinity with
advertising where it must be read by
those wishing to learn the direction
and distance to the next town. The
law reads:
NO advertising signs shall be erect
ed or maintained within five hundred
feet of crossings of highways or with
in five hundred feet of where one pub
lie way enters another within the
limits of such ways. The State high
way department shall cause any signs
so erected to be removed at the ex-

Those Horrid Alarm Clocks.

The worst trick that the alarm clock
can play us is to break into our dreams
as We are about to dive into the old
swmmin' hole back home.--Portsmouth
Times
Never had the thing go off just as
you were about to land big trout did
you? That's even more disappointing
than any delayed dive can be.-Bidde-
ford Journal.
Very good samples. but we contend
that the meanest trick an alarm clock
ever played was to waken us when we
had dreamed that we were Bull
Moser; that we had successfully lam
basted and bamboozled all the old
crowd of fellows twho could get some
thing and we couldn't when we We're
in the old parties; that we had con-
WINGED 1.-The folks that we were better
than they. and they had publicly pro-
claimed the corn: that we had tied a
knot in the tail of the world and mad
good momentum on the Damascus
road; that we had given all the tories
and the "Penrose crowd" and the
"monopoliers' good push down the
slippery hill toward Jericho--and then
that darned alarm went eff, Amt thai
worse?

Thu Case of Gov. Eoss.

No better test of tie Democratic
policy of reprisals against interests
which attribute wage reductions or
mills closing to the new tariff bill can
possibly be made than in the case of
Eugene y. Foss, Democratic governor
Of Massachusetts. Following MS adinis-
sion more than a month ago that the
strike among the employees of his ma
chinery manufacturing mill MAS due te
tariff disturbances. the governor nov
announces that in the future he will dc
the greater part of his manufacturing
in Canada. The concern which the
ADvernor controls has purchased a
factory at Gait, Ont, and he
takes the opportunity to denounee the
Democratic partys tariff programme.

from doing business in their 0wn eoun-
try-Washingt ton Post
Yes: that is why Governor Foss was
read out Of the Democrats Panty by
President Wilson and Boston's ire
pressible Democratic snob, Mayor Fitz-
gerald With his faults Gov. Foss
is business man. and would probably
give Democracy some hints worth
