It will seek to make better conditions for all, to make the district more attractive to present residents and to tell others of the attractions at the same time. It is at last recognized that Bisbee and it's surroundings may be made a mag, net to draw visitors in search of health and recreation as well as investment and along those lines efforts will be directed. It is sn entirely new line of endeayor that the work of the com, ing winter will be directed and the board and the secretary will devote their energies thereto vigorously.

of jokes must be worked over and over, though their point may be gone. The Englishman is represented as hay ing no serse of fun, though he con tinues to buy and read Dickens and Thackery. The Rostonians now are aliens who are studying the English primer. The Philadelphian is slow, though the ball teams don't think so. The Chicago girl has large feet, in spite of her little gift for high kicking. The mother-in-law is a creature of vinegar. though mothers-ir-law are usually grandmothers, and grand mothers have sweet faces and kind hearts.
 The press humorists are simply speeded to higher pace than the humor mill was built to stand. No wonder the product often looks thin and the machinery wobbles audibly The more conventions and trips and vacations they have, the greater will be the relief of this overstrain and overtime.

GERM $ AND
 CIGAR CLIPPERS.

The United States Public Health Service has issued warning to smok- CTS against the use of the automatic cigar center on the ground that it is a medium for the spread of disease. It is pointed out that many smokers, on purchasing a cigar, and before clip ping off the. end. place it between their lips.
 This would seem" the statement declares. 'to Be very effective meth cd of bringing about the interchange of mouth secretions and possibly the spread of infection. It is suggested that the use of such automatic clippers should be avoided by the public OF account of the possibility that disease may be spread by them by reason os the nature and manner of their use.
 Before the day of automatic clippers it was a common practice for the l purchasers of cigars to bite off the ends and the custom has not been en tireIy outgrown. Some smokers use their pocket knives tor Sopenins cigars, and from a sanitary viewpoint the habit is not bad one. On general principles the automatic clipper would appear to be safe and sane device but there are possibilities, as the Pub lie Health Service shows which vii be decidedly unpleasant to smoker
 who entertain a wholesome fear O germs.

ARIZONA SENATOR
HAS VERBAL CLASH
WITH INTERIOR HEAD
Dictionary Is Exhausted, But
Furniture Safe When
Argument Ends.

Senator Ashurst OF Arizona, who got
into a hot verbal encounter with Sen
ator Bailey of Texas on the floor the
other day, and was invited by the
Texan to reply outside" is finding the
life of a new Senator not lacking in
variety. In addition to getting into a
collision with Bailey, Senator Ashurst.
since the new year opened. has got
tangled up In a wordy duel with Sec
retary of the Interior Fisher.
The first reports were that the Ca5l-
net minister threw the Senator out of
his office. but consideration of the
physique of the two officials involved
showed the improbability OF this. What
really happened was a verbal encounter
al close range, in which certain opin-
ions Of a highly personal sort were ex-
changed.
The trouble was over a decision of the
department under the Arizona mining
laws. Senator Ashurst called to pro-
test As he warmed to his subpect, he
turned loose a whole flood of adJeC-
tives against the unfortunate opinion.
Secretary Fisher. who Is something OF
linguist retorted in kind.
The row wound up by Senator As
hurst asking Fisher II he had ever tried
a mining case AID by the Secretary in
viting the Senator to go TO a climate
even warmer than that Of Washington
in midsummer.
None OF the furniture was marred or
even displaced. nut the dictionary fell
oN er exhausted when the battle ended.

The new Shoreham Hotel. regarded
entirely within. throws open its doors
to the public at o'clock this after
noon. For the following two hours a
general public reception will be held,
with the serving Of tea and a musical
program by the Marine Band. The re-
modelling has been one of the speediest
jobs in the annals of construction in
Washington Many of the problems
presented to architects and engineers
have been exceedingly difficult. and
they have been solved in the way which
enhances both the architectural aspect
of the interior and its practical con-
veniences for guests.
While the structural integrity OF the
interior has not been altered. the re-
modelling has been such as to give the
hotel an effect of spaciousness and
metropolitan aspect which 1t did not
have before. Waddy H. Wood was the
architect Of the remodeling. and W. H.
Barse Is the new manager, who has
given his personal attention to every
detail of remodeling.

BANCROFT HOUSE
IS CHANGED into
BUSINESS BLOCK
Historians Home, Long
Landmark Here, Was
Built Century Ago.

Another Of the old landmarks of
Washington, one of those buildings,
growing fewer each year. that are pla-
carded during Inauguration week, and
pointed out to sightseers of the city,
has been remodeled into a modern busi-
ness block.
1t is the old Bancroft house at 1873
H street northwest: famous because for
many years George Bancroft, the noted
American historian, had his residence
there. The house is supposed to be
about hundred years old, though the
exact date of its construction does not
seem to be definitely established in the
historical records Of the city.
Presents Modern Appearance.
For the past several years the house
has been occupied without changing
its design. by the Tea Cup Inn. but on
account of the trend of business in that
direction the owner, Edward II. Ever
EFT. of Ohio. has. changed the building
into business shops and apartments.
Horace T. Westcott. Mr.. Everetts
Washington agent, has supervised the
remodeling of this property, as well as
the improving of the Richmond Hotel
and other properties owned by Mr..
Everett in this block. The contractors
in charge were Neither & Mckay.
The building presents a strictly mod
ern appearance, with its massive plate
glass windows and bright brass railings.
1t has been repainted and repapered
throughout, and to all appearances Is
new, though the walls have stood
through scores of years.
Soon Ready for Occupancy.
The house fronts forty-five feet on
H street, and is fifty-six feet deep. 1t
is three stories and a basement in
height, and the basement and first
floor have been arranged for shops, two
to each floor. The fronts of each shop
are entirely of plate glass. The second
floor is rented out to a dressmaking es-
and the top floor is ar
ranged for apartments.
The workmen are now putting the fin
ishing touches on the interior, and the
shops will be ready for occupancy
the next week.
