Cabinet Officers Are Patrons Of Lunch Rooms

GEC ONE Of the members of the cab
y met have solved the problem of
reducing the cost of living to figures
within their incomes" said Col. Rich
ard Ryan of Denver the other day.
In my trips to Washington in the
last 20 years / have observed that
l can get a pretty good quality of but
termilk at some of the dairy lunch
rooms, but l was somewhat surprised
recently to find at my elbow in one of
these lunch rooms the secretary Of
the treasury, Mr.. McAdoo, and two
days ago l stood shoulder to shoul-
der with Secretary of War Garrison.
Il wonder If the people of Wash
ington know that the milk and pie
lunch room is peculiarly a Washing
ton institution and that q former sec
retary of the treasury, more than any
other person, was responsible for its
popularity? In the seventies, the late
Frank Ward opened the first of these
lunch rooms in the Corcoran building
on Fifteenth street. 1t was not a
big success at first, but one day John
Sherman, secretary Of the treasury in

ACCIDENTS AND THE WEATHER

A certain railroad has made an in
tsresting investigation which shows
that on its system the number Of ac-
cidents was greater in the summer
months than in winter. 1t was also
discovered that the number of engine
failures was affected in like manner.
On this railway special efforts had al
ways been made to prevent failures
during the severe winter season, and
the men were kept up to high pitch
in their efforts to reduce them to
minimum. When the warmer weather
set in and the elements we're more
favorable 1t was found that these ef-
forts were relaxed, with the result
that failures and accidents followed.
Special steps were made to overcome
this tendency, and it is now the prac-
tico as early as January and February
for the officials Of the mechanical en-
gineer's department to put In hand
campaign guarding against failures
when the warmer weather sets in and
the operating conditions become more
favorable. 1t is said that the results
of this action have been remarkable;
the failures and accidents now record
ed being much fewer than for the
corresponding period of previous
years before anything was done in
the matter.

parently light and airy the grasses

FORCED TO DINE ON BOOKS

With the exception of minerals, II
is difficult for one to find on the
earth's surface substances that do not
tempt the appetite of some sort OF
animal. The list of queer articles ot
diet includes the earth, which is
munched with satisfaction by the clay
eater, and the walrus hide, which the
Eskimo relishes as much as John Bull
his joint of beef.
It is not generally known, however
that men, as well as mice and book
worms, have eaten dinners that have
consisted only of books.

CXTASHINGTON.-The requisltion 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 1T is just as cheap
now to purchase, maintain and oper-
ate a motorcar as 1t is a horse and
wagon or buggy"
The government provides four or
five automobiles for the president. one
for the Tice-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 two-horse carriages and
their assistants single horse coupes.
The White House cars cost from
1900 to $4,000. Ex-SpeakeT 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.

When we came near Hohenschwan-
gan we caught our first glimpse of
Neuschwaustein, standing white and
dazzling against the green Of the
mountains. 1t is much smaller look
ing castle than one would think from
its pictures, but it looked so complete,
so compact that it seemed exactly the
right size.
We lunched at the inn before start
ing up the mountain and our waiter
told us that he did not think we could
get into the castle as it was an off
season. However, we determined to
try and we started up the little zigg-
ley foot path up the mountain. After
we had climbed and climbed we came
to a fine boulevard, which led direct
ly to the castle gate.
Looking over the wall built at the
castle gate we got splendid view Of
all the surrounding country 1t was
a fat country dotted over with shin
ing lakes and small villages. The
castle Of Hohenschwangan looked old
and jaded besides the glory of Neu-
schwaustein. Away in the distance
we could see the faint outline Of the
Alps.
We sounded the castle bell several
times before we got an answer, but
finally a spruce looking young Ger
man opened the gates and explained
that we could not be admitted. But a
five mark piece made him change his
mind and he said that he would show
us part Of the castle, the part that
Ludwig occupied during his three
years residence there.
We went through one splendid
room after another, and everywhere
we saw swans, and nearly every room
was done in blue-royal blue This
blue was Ludwig's favorite color and
he always had his bed chamber hung
in it no matter where he lived. 1t is
so rich a color, it affects the senses
like the sound of music. The swans
were woven into the most intricate
patterns, on the ceiling, on the drap-
cries, and carved on the chairs. In

ANIMALS DON'T NEED EYES

Animals do not depend upon their
eyesight in the same way as human
beings Cats and dogs could get along
very well without eyes. A cat can
find her way with the aid Of her
whiskers. These are the same width
as her body and connected with
nerves which cause her to feel the
slightest touch.
Dogs can be entirely guided by
their sense of smell Blind dogs have
been known to scent and find their
way to almost inaccessible places.
Their hearing is also preternaturally
sharp.
Rats can see very little, and depend
chiefly upon their noses, muscles,
touch, and hearing. In the case Of
most animals the senses of smell and
touch are more highly developed than
that Of sight, and they do not require
to depend upon their sight nearly as
much as DO human beings in regard to
safety.

would he enter the building than the
