TOOK PAGE Bofs 70 CIRCUS
Senator Chiffon of West Virqnia
Gives Messenger "Kids" a
Rare Treat.
"He's all right. +.

He's all right
That is the way the page boys Of
the senate characterize Senator Chill
ton of West Virginia.
First off Senator Chiffon took all the
pages to the circus when it was in
town some time ago. But, best Of
all, he more recently sent half of them
to the ball game in charge of Joseph
O'Toole of the Office of the sergeant
alarms. Next day the other half was
sent to see the game in charge of Coy.
Eddie Halsey. Both days they were
supplied with cough money to buy pop
peanuts and SO forth.
Senator Hughes of New Jersey
comes In for some admiration from
the young fans. He received a base
ball as souvenir at one of the recent
games and turned it over to the pages
to practice with.

If there is any home in the city that
cannot keep Christmas tomorrow it has
been overlooked for dozens of self
sacrificing men and women have la
bored early and late for the past week
or ten days to insure that every home
i'm the city shall have at least bit
of Christmas cheer. The different SO.
cieties and organizations that regular
ny devote part Of their income to char
liable work have realized that the need
ia great this year and their appropria'
lions have been unusually liberal SO
that no case that has been brought to
the attention of the workers in any OF
these organizations has been neglected
AN earnest effort has been made to sys-
tematize the work this year. 1t is be-
lieved that it has been better planned
and better carried out this year than
ever before and it is hoped that no one
has been overlooked.

Preventative Power of q Root

In examining some nursery stock re-
ceived from New York nursery. G. A.
Watcher of southern New Hampshire
discovered the remarkable growth Of
a rootlett through a stone. The rootlet
was part Of the root system of a year
ling peach tree and had grown di.
rectly through the stone, which was
an inch thick where penetrated.
The stone is otherwise perfectly
solid and free from holes Of any kind
The rootlet Is one-eighth of an inch in
diameter. The only explanation Of this
phenomenon Is the common knowl-
edge that all roots exude plant acids
which have the power of dissolving
minerals, and In this case the action OF
the acid was unusually rapid. Farm

NEW BRIDGE ACROSS POTOMAC
Alexandria County Organization In
forms President That Aqueduct
Structure Is Inadequate.

Construction of a new bridge to sup
plant Aqueduct bridge, which they
say is Inadequate and unsafe, is asked
by the Alexander County Public Serv-
ice association of Clarendon, Va, in
letter sent the other day to the presi-
dent.
For the last ten years, the letter
says, the bridge mas been wholly mad
equate. The establishment of single
track car line, it is said. made the too
narrow bridge so crowded that at
times traffic is blocked
A bridge wide enough to admit a
double track system is favored. 1t is
pointed out that thousands of pedes-
trians cross the bridge daily, and that
large part of the city's freight is
carried by wagon across it.
A report recently filed with the war
department regarding congestion Of
traffic at the Virginia side Of the
bridge is mentioned Some relisi
should be furnished, the letter says. At
present there is but one street lead
ing to the bridge.
ut is the honest belief of the ceva-
mittee," the latter concludes, that a
serious public necessity exists for the
immediate improvement of the bridge.
We respectfully urge that considera-
ton be given, and that such action be
taken or recommendation made as
will relieve a serious condition"
The letter is signed by w. w. Ma
lone, president; E. L. Bennett, secre"
tary, and E. E. Aldred, chairman Of tho
public utilities committee of the asso'
citation.

The number Of signatures on that Pc
tition to submit the question OF going
under commission form OF govern
ment does not fairly represent the feel
ing tf the people of the city on the
proposition for two reasons. First, be-
cause hundreds of people who have ex-
pressed themselves in favor Of the COM
mission form never got chance to
sign the petitions and second, because
many people did sign it. who are not
vet convinced that the commission form
would be good thing for this city
but wEso favor submitting all questions
to the people for a decision. These lat
ter did not construe their act of sign
ing the petitions for a referendum as
pledging them to vote in favor Of the
change by any means.

A Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year.

The Garden Magazine again urges a
suggestion it has offered before. Let
tme Christmas tree be living, and later
be given place in the yard. Instead
of the cut tree, which passes with the
sea son, the family would have, with
luck, continuing token of the Christ
mas, and with further luck an IN
cre.asing number of remembrances
which would have lively sentimental
interest for the children, to whom the
ephemeraI character of the Christmas
tree is, in its dry, yellow aspects, a
matter for sorrow. TO grownups VINO
love the cheerful spruce or balsam the
addition Of young tree to the lawn IS
sufficient Observation-Disclosures,

Women SECRETARIES.

That women cannot keep secrets is
q fallacy and one striking proof Is in
the fact that Lloyd-George employs
two women secretaries, one Of whom
has staff of typists under her.
Premier AsQuith also employs a
woman secretary in addition to the
men On his staff. Percy Ellington, the
government whip, has woman secre-
tary.
The government has not placed wo-
men on certain lists but everyone
knows that those high In government
would not employ women without
good reason. For one thing, they can
keep a secret.

Two Little Graves in Gene
terry Tell the Story of the
Neglect of Officials.
CAN'T FIGHT CHILD's LOVE

From one of Wisconsin IS large cities
comes story of home darkened with
sorrow. On a cot in a little room lies
a mother, dying Of tuberculosis. A year
ago she had with her two little children
two little girls with big blue eyes and
golden curls. Today, in the neighbor-
ing churehyard, white with the frost of
approaching winter, two little baby
graves speak their silent plea.
Two monuments to the fact that
there was no tuberculosis sanatorium in
that county, no place where the mother
afflicted with the white plague, could
be taken to be cured or at least to pre-
vent her from injecting and numbering,
though unWittingly, her own children.
Friends tried to send her to the state
sanatorium at Wales, but the answer
came back, s'This case is too far ad-
vanced. Wales cannot take it. They
tried then to place her in a neighboring
county sanatorium, but the answer was
flung back, "Our hospital is already
crowded; we have a waiting list now,
and the waiting list, day by day, is
growing longer"
So the little mother went back to her
home-in the city of beautiful homes
and great business, the city of fine
schools and splendid churches she
went back to her children to die. The
tragic fact is that she could not die.
She lived-lived the living death, The
dying life--lived to see two tots snatch
ed away by the disease she had given
them. Even death, it seems, is CON
tagious.
Shall we blame this mother for in
fecting her children with the deadly
scourgeg Shall we condemn her for not
pushing her children from her and re-
fusing to touch thema She tells of how
they used to come to her bedside; how
they wanted to be held close to her
and call her Mamma
my Godv-the poor little wasted
body trembled with anguish could
not thrust them from me. They were
my little girls. When they came to me
at night to put their baby arms around
my neck and say Good night, I could
not order them to go away, not to have
anything to do with me. They are dead
now. God forgive me if / killed them. =
Yes, God must forgive the little
mother, who killed her babies because
she could not keep from loving them.
God may perhaps find difficulty, how
ever, in forgiving that county board
which refused to build a tuberculosis
sanatorium where this woman might
have ben cured, at least where it would
have been impossible for her children
to have been sacrificed
There are many homes like this in
Wisconsin today which are longing for
the message of the Red Cross Christmas
seal. In many homes this little red and
green picture, has already brought
brightness and sunshine There are
still, however, dark corners and homes
of hidden suffering that people never
see. Even this case was never pub
lished in the newspapers of that city,
for the sake of the woman it touched
(to say nothing of the county board).
SO the white scourge reaps its annual
harvests-the unknown, unheard of
sorrows whose only history, if there is
a history, is recorded in the eyes that
are dimmed with tears.
