It is the custom among many house
keepers to wrap the broom up In
rather large cloth and to wipe down
the walls and woodwork Of the dust.
A woman inventor has devised a gar
ment for the broom which will have
many advantages. the chief one Of
which Is that, being made to fit the
broom, II IL economical Of material and
easily washed. The bag which fts
over the broom Is rather loose so as to
better perform its mission Of gather
ing up the dust from the surface over
which It passes. The bag Is held In
place by two elastic strips which pass
over the shoulders Of the broom and
engage in the material of tho bag BY

TALKED WITHOUT WORDS
(London Chronicle)

(LOndOn CnrOnlcle)
There are ways of conveying ones
meanings even in country Of another
tongue, and the British soldier may be
trusted to devise them. A refu9ee
from Cambrai tells how, when the Eng
lish marched through to the north after
their landing, the people were troubled
because they could only signify tfeir
welcome and enthusiasm in the most
general way. But the British soldier
was much more definite by means of
gesture. First on the right side OF the
lip, then on the left, he twirled an i'm
aginary mutsache up to his eyes, and
then he drew his hand across his
throat. And Cambrai understood!

- Washington, d. c., Now. 16-That
the Alonquin Indians came from the
Quinn family of Tipperary, the Mer-
rimacks and MickMacks from the
Macks of Donegal, and that the North
American Indians were originally of
Irish extraction, was the statement
made here recently by Rev Thomas
j. Gasson, formerly a missionary
among the Indians. DR.. Gasson was
speaking before an Irish society, and
was telling of his life among the
tribes. He admitted, however, that
his claim has not yet been fully prov
en- by history.

NO LONGER ePIcuREs

A generation ago young men used
to boast of being epicures in every
thing pertaining to liquors. It was q
common sight to see young fellow
taking few sniffs at glass and then
telling an admiring group the particu-
lar variety of wine or whiskey 1t con-
tanned.
That isn't being done any more. The
young man of today who is busy max
ing his place in the world doesn't
know enough about liquor to tell whis-
key from brandy, to say nothing of
distinguishing between different va
rieties. Drinking isn't fashionable.

Following the receipt of news here
yesterday of the death in Kansas City,
Mo. of Mrs. John r. Walker. honorary
vice president general of the Daugh-

painting of Mrs. Walker in Memorial
Continental Hall was draped in mourn

sent to her family by Mrs. William
Cummins Story. president general of
the organization.
The flag at Memorial Continental
Hall would have been placed at half
mast in honor of the memory of Mrs.
Walker. but it had already been low
cred out of respect to the late Mrs.
Adlai Stevenson, another honorary
national officer of the D. A. r., who
died recently. At the next D. A. r.
Congress here memorial services will
to be held in honor of Mrs. Walker, Mrs.
Stevenson and Mrs. Charles w. Fair

Preparations are being made to reor-

1t is hoped by those having the matter

With the beginning OF the new year
the recruiting of the battalion had picked
up considerably. When the armory was

kept busy putting the new men through
their physical examination. Lieut.. Nor

known as the armory board. which has
the matter in charge. and Col. Harvey is
prepared to present data to Congress
when hearings are granted. He already
has made arrangements to be heard when
the matter comes up before the proper
committee.
The construction of an armory for the
local National Guard it is declared, would
mark the beginning of a new epoch in the
history of the local militia organization
Even the announcement that the govern
ment had provided for an armory, it is
believed by officers, would see an unusual
incrase in the number of enlistments. It
is the lack of adequate and proper ar
mory facilities which has handicapped
the recruiting officers in their attempt to
recruit the local guard up to Its full
strength. it is declared. AS soon as some
means is provided where the young men
can have places for clean. wholesome
sport under proper supervision the bet
ter class of young men will join the
guard in numbers it is expected.

Craig won the medal in the annual
monthly competitive drill in the manual
of arms conducted by Company K. I'd In

Wednesday. Much credit is given by the
officers of the company to Sergt Payne,
gier and Connor. After a long series of
commands the officers conducting the
drill found that 1t was impossible \ to
catch an error on either Sergt. Payne or
Privates Connor and Craig, so the officers
were forced to go outside of the manual
of arms in order to eliminate the men,
Commands in loading and firing and an
inspection of firing pieces were given,
with tthe result that Private Craig won.
