plated by the School Eoard. For the
reason that we want IL give a greater
care and greater consideration to the
matter of the plans that are 20 be pro-

insist on the point of order against
the Mann amendmenD.
The bill on the House calendar to
which Mr.. Burleson referred was never
taken up by the House, but In the con-
ference on the appropriation bill. as the
Commissioners pointed out, the matter
expressed by the members Of the
House committee.
This is the answer 70 Senator Lane $
query, "Why was IL .hanged?'
It was changed because, when the
matter reached the floor Of the House
the sentiment developed very decided
" in favor of the larger school, and
the opinion of the District Commits
sioners. in favcr of the smaller school,
was rejected.
The present effort to reverse that
decision of Congress and incidentally
to reverse the judgment of the school
authorities and the school public,
may possibly result in delay about
getting the new high school: there
is believed to be very little chance
that it will finally result in q reversal
of the general purpose Of creating a
central high school Of the cosmopoli-
tan type.

A famous physician whose successful

earned for him an international reputa-
ion. said "a the course Of a recent lee
1ure that nearly all intestinal troubles,
as well as many diseases Of the vital

times out OF ten TO excessive acidity,

Shields collected a large lobbyist Zee
from these men.
I investigated the matter and asked
3 crossing policeman right near TINS

promised to pay a certain sum per

Then asked another policeman. and he
said practically the same thing.

committee members could get to their
feet the two combatants were knock
ing over chairs and struggling all
about the committee table. The blows
were falling fast when Mr.. German.
Mr.. Reed, and Fred Alien separated
the comhatants. Mr.. Johnson taen
rushed toward his inner ofhce' shout-
ing for a pistol. and several Of the
spectators went after him, slammtnS
the inner door.

When some one yelled you'd all better

Johnson could be heard demanding that
the door be opened. and "let me kill
him" Shields, carried at the front Of
a dozen men who were seeking to quit

corridor and practically forced into on

Congressman Keister, on peace bent,
advised everybody to, quit the room and
the majority followed his advice. All

partially appeased, and he stood with
towel in hand protesting that his friends

said Mr. Winslow of Massachusetts, TO

For Future Growth.

For Future Growth.
In The explanation given by Mr.
Taylor of Ohio, n member of the sub
committee, by Mr.. Burleson, its chair
man. and by Mr.. Fitzgerald. the
chairman OF the general committee IT
is frankly stated that the committee
did not recommend an appropriation
because in its Judgment the building
proposed by the Commissioners was
not large enough to provide for the
future growth of the school Mr.
Taylor said in part:
"It is quite true that the hearings
before the committee developed the
fact that the Commissioners had
about decided to erect 4 building,
tiful. and one that was appropriate
to the site, But WHICH WAS GOING

Commissioners who urged this most
strongly state to the committee that he
would oppose placing on that ten-acre

date more than l.6o0 pupils?
Mr.. Taylor-He d, and have stated
that: and ! stood here for half an hour

Mr.. Taylor-No; ] do not know that it
would be. That was the statement of
the Commissioner; but / do not believe.

KEEPING MACHINE IN ORDER
Systematic Care Will Make Sewing
Easier and. ProIong the Life Of
the Machine.

1t Ia simple matter to keep the
sewing machine in perfect order, but
It Is rare thing to find one that Is
properly cared for. Here are a few
hints from woman who has discov.
cred that If she wants any tool to do
good work she must take good care Of
It.
In the first place, lighted match
or candle will do wonders for a sew
Ing machine. You light the match or
candle and apply it to the wheels and
coss. All the lint and threads that
nave caught there and wrapped Ground
them will burn and the char tl.d re-
suits can easily be wiped off with a
clean cloth. You will be simply
amazed at the difference this will
make In the running of your machine.
Then, too, another cause of bad
running machine is that the oil in a
machine gums. 1t is really very little
trouble to remove the head, place 1t
In big pan and wash it in gasoline.
1t makes an old machine run like a
new one, or even easier than a new
one.
Only you must not forget one
thing. Gasoline is not lubricant, so
after washing out the gummed parts
and cleaning them thoroughly. you
must oil the machine with a good lu.
Dricating oil. If you try these two
things whenever your machine begins
to run little hard, 1 think you will
be agreeably surprised at the result"

ANECDOTES OF FAMOUS WIT
Life OF labouchere Of London Truth
Repiete With Incidents Worth
tho Telling.

one OF the most fascinating of the
many BOOKS Of biography that have
appeared during the present publish
Ing season is the one dealing with the
Life Of Henry Labouchere. It is cram
med with good stories told by or
about this remarkable man, most of
them relating to his career In the dip
lomatic service.
While he was In Washington he
planned little holiday excursion, and
ne was just about to start when he
received letter addressed in the we'll
known handwriting of his chief.
Suspecting that the instructions 1t
contained would render his holiday
impossible, he put the letter unopened
In the tail pocket of his coat and pro-
ceeded to carry out, with great salts
faction to himself, the holiday he had
planned.
Then, when he was quite ready to
return, he opened the letter, which he
had carried the whole time in his
tail pocket, and found that his suspi-
cions of it's contents had been very
well founded.
He sat down, therefore, and wrote
nice letter Of apology to his chief,
beginning: your letter has followed
me here" Which, after all, was
nothing but the simple truth!
Some Of his most amusing diplo-
matte experiences occurred in Ger
many, and he was especially proud of
the popularity he enjoyed at Frank
fort, which he explained in this way:
Sometimes there was a ball at
court, which the foreign diplomatists
were expected to attend. At the first
ball Labouchere attended he found
himself at supper next to a grandee
very gorgeous in stars and ribbons.
When a servant came to pour out
champagne, which Labouchere detest-
ed, he shook his head.
The grandee Immediately nudged
him. LET him pour 1t out" he said.
Labouchere signed to the man to
pour out the glass of champagne, and
the grandee explained Ia a whisper
that their host never gave his guests
more than one glass;. $50 you see,"
he added, elf I drink yours I shall
have two"
After this" Labouchere used to-
say, there used to be quite a strug-
gle to sit next me at court suppers!"

NO EASY MATTER TO SWEEP
Carpets and Rugs May Be Preserved
or Damaged, According to How
1t is Done.

1t is not an easy matter to sweep
we'll. When a broom is put into the
hands of the inexperienced, more
harm than good generally results from
the use of it.
Light sweeping and soft brooms are
desirable.
Many a carpet is prematurely worn
out by careless sweeping.
In sweeping thick piled carpets al
ways brush the way of the pile.
BY doing so it may be keep clean
for years; but If the broom is used
In a different way the dust will enter
the carpet and soon destroy it.
H the carpet covers the whole floor
of the room and it is nailed down,
place the chairs and other articles of
furniture which can be easily moved
IN the middle of the room, pin up the
curtains and cover the couch with an
old sheet.
Pieces OF damp paper may be
sprlnkied round the sides of the room
and then sweep with carpet broom
toward one place.
Take short strokes, being careful
not to raise the brosm much.
Sweep the corners and edges with
small whisk broom.
Put two tablespoonfuls of ammonia
into one gallon of water; wiring a
cloth out of this and wipe the carpet.
This will remove the dust and help
to brighten, the carpet.

The Research EnaIneer.


About decade ago the great ad-
vantage to be derived from bringing
the scientist directly to the manufac-
turer's workshop, provided this could
be done In the proper spirit, becomes
evident, and the institution now we'll
known as the industriak research
laboratory has gradually become firm
ly established. There are those who
still maintain, and, no doubt, correct
ly, that the worlds greatest discov-
cries come from Independent investi-
gators working alone, often amid great
hardship, driven on by the fire of
their own enthusiasm and complete
absorption In one idea. Be that as
1t may, the Industrial laboratory has
now to Its credit some remarkable
achievements, which would do honor
to any university Investigator. 1t is
also worth noting that these achieve
ments are due in great measure to
that broad dictatorship over research
work which, while not imposing irk.
some restrictions, guides II toward
useful ends. While spectacular re.
suits bring great credit to Industrial
research in general, and to this de.
partment in particular, 1t seems to
be a fact, nevertheless, that such de-
partments represent an excellent in.
vestment even when measured by the
value Of their day-to.day services of
minor character rendered to q great
