Against Cigar Clipper

The neat and prompt contrivance
will still be of some use, In its ever
ready ~self-cocking, hair-trigger way,
it can still snip slices off inquiring
fingers, as of yore. 1t will still sub
serve the useful purpose of chopping
superfiuous matches into small bits
a favorite pastime in the temperance
pool room Of our misspent youth. The
cigar store man will doubtless keep
it wound up and waiting for what it
may devour, for the cigar store bust
ness is founded on habit.
But we must ignore, avoid, eschew,
shun, evade, elude and otherwise es-
cape it and its peril. Be advised and
chaw off your cigars, unless you car
ry a pocket clipper OF a jackknife.
Grand this is considered very
knowing-you may squeeze the tip
Of a good ten-center between your
thumbs until the wrapper bursts.
But on no account insert in the sock
ct Of the public clipper any filthy
weed you intend putting to your lips.
For whatever may be your ideas on
the subject of interchanging mouth Sc
cretions you surely don't wish to be
promiscuous about it.

WI ASHINGTON.-The requisition Of
w Secretary of Labor William B.
Wilson for three automobiles, two for
personal and one for departmental
use, has brought up the subject Of
the private use OF government con-
veyances. The demand for automobiles
by the secretary OF labor is based on
the claim that st is just as cheap
now to purchase, paintain and oper-
ate a motorcar as it is a horse and
wagon or buggy"
The government provides four or
five automobiles for the president, one
for the vice-president, one for the
speaker of the house and one for the
public printer, and carriages and
horses for the members of the cabinet
and their assistants. Cabinet mem
bers have t%wo.horse carriages and
their assistants single horse coupes.
The White House ears cost from
$4,000 to $4,000. Ex.Speaker Joseph
G.. Cannon rode in a large, handsome
$4,000 car, but Speaker Champ Clark
has declined to- use an automobile
of any kind. Vice-President Thomas
r. Marshall uses a government ma.
chine. In addition to the touring cars
at the White House, Uncle Sam pro.
vides an electric runabout for Mrs
Wilson and the Misses Wilson.
Every year, when the appropriation

bills come in, there Is an extended de-
bate over the misuse" of the govern
ment vehicles by army and navy OF
ficers and others connected with the
various departments. II is annually
charged that government automobiles
and horses and carriages and army
mules are used for private calls. 1t is
alleged that army officers and others
attend social functions at the expense
of the government. Sometimes, when
there is a dance at one of the big no
tells, visitors from Fort Myer come
over in a wagon behind army mules.
Several years ago in an effort to stop
the promiscuous use of government
teams. Uncle Sam had all of his We
hicles marked, and that did not
prove a success. The old practice
continues.
The wives of cabinet members are
entitled to the use of government We
hicles for shopping or calling. With
the horses and carriages goes a liv-
cried driver.
The request of Mr.. Wilson, coming
as it does from the most modest de-
partment of the government, has
caused much comment about Wash
ington. !.
On Sundays, especially when the
weather is fine, it is not unusual to see
most of the cabinet teams out in Con-
necticut avenue, going to- or from
church. The member of the cabinet
and his wife ride in one carriage and
the children and other members of
the family in another. In the case
of a bachelor. like Attorney General
McReynoids, the carriage is used for
night riding around the Speedway,
where the gentle breezes from the
river circulate .aa sa

Cheese a Valuable Diet

pound daily-and by people who lead
an active outdoor life, 1t is about as
easily digested as meat. For the aver
age person, who takes but little out
door exercise. cheese is hard to d.
gest. This is true Of most kinds as

homemade cottage cheese, often call
ed clabber cheese, is an exception.
This dish Is easy to prepare and is
very economical where there is a
