OBJECTS TOTRADITI0N
WHICH FAVORS SENATE
Representative L'Engle Would Have
House Members Shown Same
Courtesy by Cabinet Officers.

Having had the experience of waiting
in a cabinet officers anteroom while a
senator went in to transact public bust
ness, Representative L'Engle, new
member from Florida, has devised plan
whereby representatives will not be kept
cooling their heels in the anteroom. and
has introduced a resolution in the House
to cure the alleged defect in old capital
traditions.
Representative L'Engle wants to tear
down precedence. His resolution that
precedence has no place in govern
ment of the people, and that the custom
prevailing by which senator's go ahead of
members of the House in transacting
public business in the government depart
ments is Objectionable to this House, and
a continuance of this practice will be re-
garded as an affront.'

Fund to Employ Teams.

The $500 fund which the committee is
endeavoring to raise will be expended
largely in the employment of teams with
which to remove refuse that cannot
otherwise be removed. There probably
will be daily meetings Of the executive
board to decide where the teams shall be
sent. 1t is desired that the various Or
CARNATIONS shall make daily reports to
the committee in order that the executive
board may be kept constantly informed
Of the progress of the campaign

School Pupils a Factor.

But the assistance given the cleanup
organization by the 10000 pupils of the
public schools is factor that has con-
tributed equally as much to the crafty
ing results being obtained The impor-
lance Of the sanitary crusade has been
explained in the schools, with the result
that pupils of every grade have become
interested in cleaning up the premises
where they reside. Half hour periods
for instruction in civic cleanliness and
sanitation will form a part of each days
schedule In all of the schools next week.
The part that the various civic organi-
cations and citizens associations are to
take in the campaign will be worked out
individually by those bodies. 1t merely
is the desire of the central committee
that they shall supervise the cleaning up
of the territories over which they have
jurisdiction. What methods they adopt
to that end will be left to their discretion
1t is anticipated, of course, that these
organizations will, in some instances. be
compelled to call upon the central COM
mittee for financial assistance but, in the
main. they will be expected to provide the
means of disposing all rubbish collected
within their reSDectiVe territories

Record-Breaking Predicted.

The committee is convinced that the
campaign this year is going to break all
records for civic endeavor in undertake
ings of this character. The advantages
derived from the last crusade have not
been forgotten, and there is believed to
be a more general understanding on the
part of citizens as to what they are eX-
pected to do.
Both the police department and the
public schools are valuable aid to the
clean city committee. The police have
been active in informing residents in
every section of the city of the purposes
OF the campaign and requesting their CO.
operation. The officers also have been on
the lookout for nuisances and have given
notice that prosecutions would follow I'M
less insanitary conditions discovered We're
abated.
Undoubtedly, in the opinion of the COM
mittee. this activity has been effective
and accounts for much Of the increased
waste material which the contractors
wagons have been compelled to remove

Campaign This Year Likely to Make
Record for Thoroughness
Of Work.

Washington is being cleaned up at a
rate unprecedented in the annals OF the
capital. This statement was made by
NJ. r. Ready. District refuse contractor.
The sanitary crusade, which is to be
launched formally next Monday. already
is in progress, according to Mr.. Ready.
who says that the collections of the ref
use wagons have increased from ID to
20 per cent during the past week.
Clean city committee leaders are elated
over the announcement. 1t means that
general response is being made by citi-
zens to the plea of the committee that
they begin now to improve the sanitary
condition Of their own premises. This
organization desires that as much pre-
liminary cleaning up as possible be done
in order that the capacity of the refuse
wagons may not be overtaxed by the de-
mands of next week.
Washington constantly has been pro-
crossing toward cleaner city since the
campaign of a year ago. according to Mr.
Ready. Refuse collections of the past
twelve months show an increase of 90
per cent over those of the preceding year,
he stated. The big increase of the past
week has kept the contractors wagons
busy, every section of the city contrib
uting to the larger output OF rubbish.

ODE TO FRIED ONIONS

(The first American poem
written according to the rules of
the new Partisan school of poetry,
Verse de la Cuisine.)
Hail to thee, 1.-THE onions!
Fruit thou never vert.
Yet naught e'er grew more lus-
cious
In earth's prolific dirt.
I'd rather knaw a dish of you
Than kiss a beauteous skirt.
A dish of fresh fried onions!
o who could ask for more!
Not all the gold upon this earth
Could e'er repay the score.
The lovely incense of that dish
Rams through six-inch door!
Tonight I'll have fried onions
When 1 60 home to Craze,
And then I'll hit the movie show
To see those fillum plays.
The very actors ON the screen
My husky breath will phaze.
But hall to thee, fried onions!
The healthiest of dishes.
l never miss whack at you,
Despite my family's wishes.
No matter what they say or do,
I still think you're delicious!

ers, who carefully walk up to the hole
apparently on the lookout for irreg-
ularlties and the line, but who accur-
aJely pace off the exact distance to be
made on the stroke and examine the
texture of the turf. They have learned
ny h2rd practice how much force to
apply for five yards, for ten yards, and
IufIner under various conditions, and
can usually be depended on to get ID
10 the hole, giving the ball a chance to
go down If 1t reaches the lip of the
cup.
Regarding faulty direction on the
putt there are three important causes:
one, detective eye sight; two. careless
ness, and three, bad form in hitting
the ball. Those coming in the first
definition must either get glasses thar

on IN their misery. More bad putting
IS caused by careIessness than for any
other reason Instead of having the
mind centered on the ball being hit
straight on the line many A PLAYER is
looking at the hole instead of the
bail, and hits wide of the mark. while
others are thinking of most ANYTHING
else than the stroke before them.
Those suffering from bad faults in
form such as a cramped stance or the
habit of chopping at the ball will
never be able to hold the line until
they take a lesson and learn the gen
tie art of hitting the bail accurately
at its back center opposite the point
at which they are aiming.

as a point of discussion it was in
quired as to the exact size of the
famous pony, Jacobs, used by Dew
ereuX MilbUrn. The size of five or six
other ponies used by Milburn and
Larry Waterbury was talked of as be-
ing well over 3 hands.
If the Englishmen should demand
that all ponies be under 14.2 they them
selves will be perfectly safe. They aim
only at the development of the 142
animal, for that is the standard called
for in the big shows such as Islington,
where the polo pony animal is all the
rage
Deception As to Size.
After the English ponies showed here
in the last match everybody thought
they were over 142; but when it was
remembered that almost all of them
were shown in birmingham classes at
some show or other the figuring of the
experts subsidized
Anybody who ever saw Energy, the
famous mare sent over by the duke of
Westminster, would think she meas
ured over fifteen hands at first sight,
but when the rule was slipped over her
withers it was found she was not over
142. Other ponies on the English team
were equally deceptive
That the birmingham rule as to
height viii prevail for some time
longer is evidenced by the introduction
OF a delicate instrument for the eX-
press purpose Of ascertaining the exact
height of ponies of the 14.2 class. 1t
has come in use at all the leading
shows where the polo animal is shown,
