Oppose the Request.

Representative Fitzgerald said that in
Vulnerable members of the House had
served notice ON the appropriations com
mittee that they would not tolerate the
granting of the request.
THE authority was not given, contln-
ued the chairman, land yet during this
session of Congress an automobile has
been purchased for the persona! use of
the Secretary of Labor" He said that a
construction had been placed upon the
use of the departments contingent funds
never inteDded by Congress.
Mr.. Chairman. in approprlat1ng for
this service it makes no difference who is
al the head OF a department. l have
served in this House with three members
os the present cabinet. | have served in
other Congresses with members of the
House who afterward were members OF
the ca pinet. When a man Is in this
House and when he Is at the head OF
department of the government he Is oc-
cupying two entirely different positions.
Our duty is to conserve expenditures or
public money Whatever is needed to
carry on the public service economically
and efficiently ought to be appropriated
regardless of the amount that eventually
will be carried in the appropriation bl:ls.
but not another penny should be appfo-
priated to crafty anybody because OF our
high opinion of the personal integrity or
efficiency Of the man at the head of the
service / have a great many personal

Unjustifed Use of Public Funds, He
Believes-House Wrangles Over
Appropriation.

Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Labor was sharply criticised for pur-
chasing a luxurious limousine touring
car for his own use out of funds that
had been appropriated for the depart
ment over which he presides. during a
light on the urgent deficiency appro-
pr.ation bill yesterday afternoon, the
criticism coming'from democrat, Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald of New York, chair
man of the House committee on appro-
priatons. In this matter, as in all
others. the chairman dropped party lines
and politics when dealing with what he
believed to be unjustified use of the pub
lie funds. The entire afternoon in the
House was devoted to lively row on
the small appropriation for the Depart
ment Of Commerce and for several hour
Representative Buchanan of Illinois,
Representative Lewis of Maryland and
other democrats endeavored to raise the
appropriations by many thousands of

Takes Slap at Bureau.

During the scrimmage Representative
Fitzgerald slapped the bureau of labor
statistics by saying it consistently vio-
lated the spirit and intention of the ap-
preparation acts and that he did not
propose to allow it to go further. His
specific complaint is that out of an ap-
preparation for field force the bureau
has nineteen employees of a character
different from that intended by Congress.
III these employees were not there, the
appropriation would be ample. Congress
should not encourage this violation of
the law" he said.
The criticism of Secretary Wilson's pur-
chase of motor car came after Repre-
sentative Buchanan had offered an
amendment to the bill providing for an
enlarged contingent fund for the de-
partment.
'"'his cannot be justified replied Rep
resentative Fitzgerald. AT the last ses-
sion of Congress. out of the contingent
expenses of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. $4,000 was transferred TO
the Department of Labor. Congress also
appropriated $4,000 additional for the
contingent expenses Of the department.
At the same time request was made by
the department to authorize the Secretary
to purchase three automobiles seven
passenger touring car for himself at
$500: an electric runabout for the use
of himself-and others-and $500 for an
aIIfomohile truck

by congress for individual deeds of dar-
ing in the field. The intrinsic value
Of any of these badges is about one
cent, and yet for the privilege of wear
ing them soldiers seem always ready
to tread Gray's paths of glory"
The French decoration was first
granted under Napoleon in the early
part Of the present century; the Vic
toria Cross was instituted during the
Crimean war and the American medal
Of honor was first struck off to reward
acts of heroism performed during the
Civil war. The French cross may be
won by civilians; the English and
American crosses are pinned only upon
the breasts of soldiers and sailors. In
the armies of all three nations officer
and private, peasant and prince, have
equal chances Of wearing that which
nothing but attested bravery can buy.
The first Victoria Cross granted for
bravery in the South African war was
given to Col Ian Hamilton of the Cor
don Highlanders for conspicuous gal
lantry at the battle of Elandslaagte.
A perusal of the Gazette list which
tells something Of the deeds for which
the Victoria Cross has been awarded
shows that fully one-half of the most

GERMANS DRAG GUNS
OVER THEIR OWN DEAD

London.-The correspondent of the
Daily Mail describes a visit among the
French who were wounded in the bat
ties Of the Vosges and have been
brought to Vichy, where the hotels
have been transformed into hospitals.
A wounded artilleryman contributed
the following experience:
Il witnessed one horrible scene. The
Germans were shooting from the deep
trenches among which our artillery
was doing terrible work. But as fast
as a German dropped a fresh man
took his place until bodies Of the Ger
mans were on level with the surface
Of the earthworks.
"At this moment a German battery
was ordered to advance. The heavy
wheels sank in the trench, but the
drivers furiously lashed their horses
and finally dragged the guns across
the human bridge"

RAISE GOOD HEIFER CALVES
Many Farmers Do Not Realize What
an Excellent Market There Is for
a Good Cow.

1t is surprising that so many farm
ers do not raise their good heifer
calves. 1t must be that they do not
know what fine market there is for
a good COW. Well-bred grade heifers
are bringing good prices and pure
bred stock have ready sale at what
might be called high prices. In both
cases the demand is greater than
the supply.
There is another way to look at
this matter; in the raising of these
calves you find a good way to market
your surplus feed. You can get a good
price through this channel besides
paying for your time and trouble. Fig
ure out the cost of raising a good
heifer calf on your farm, what kind
of price she will bring at two years,
and you will see the profit there is in

DAIRY
FACTS
DEHORNING THE YOUNG BULL
Animals Are Made Less combatIvs
and Are Easier cOntroIIed-Time
for the Operation.

The practice Of dehornipg heifer
calves with caustic potash is becoming
more popular all the time and the big
majority of dairymen are feeling that
the dairy COW has no right to carry
round a pair Of horns. Perhaps the
bulls will continue to wear horns, ow-
ing to a suspicion that a dehorned bull
is not as virile one as nature made
him, though it seems to be quite firm
ly believed among many breeders that
the horns do no good and that no bull
ought to be allowed TO wear them.
However, the practice when horn
less bulls are desired, is different than
with heifers, according to the opinion
Of one pure bred dairyman, who wants
no horns on the bulls he keeps. He
uses the potash on the horns Of his
heifer calves, but permits those Of the
bulls to grow normally until the time
when they begin to develop the bull
temperament pretty strongly, at which
time he uses a dehorner, This makes
the bulls less combative and easier
controlled.
II the potash is successfully used
the bull temperament develops as US
ual and nothing can be done to quiet
his disposition. He will be as dam
gerous as he otherwise would be ex-
cept for the slightly lessened ability
to do damage; while the bull whose
horns developed, but were removed,
will be like the other in not having
horns to do damage, and in addition
by their removal will be made of a
more peaceful disposition. In brief,
if bull calf is not going to be per-
mitted to wear horns when he grows
up, he will have a better disposition.
of the horns are let to grow and then
removed than if they are never al
lowed to start.

Many Houses In Flames.
They found many houses smoldering
or In flames. The Inhabitants, terror
stricken, were in the cellars. German
officers and soldiers were found dead
In the streets, side by side with

German Losses Enormous.
An idea Of the enormous losses Of
the Germans in the great battle in
southwestern Belgium and Of the brav-
cry Of the kaiser's soldiers is given in
the story Of a returned traveller who
witnessed part Of the fighting along
the Sambre river, southwest of Charlie
roi
Il was near Fereux, in a region
covered with dense woods, while the
fighting was taking place." said he 'I
could hear the sound Of cannon away
to the east and knew that big battle
was raging. From my place in the
forest suddenly saw the advance
guard of German army approach
ing along a roadway which sdrted the
trees.
There seemed to be an endless pro-
cession of soldiers, all dressed in a
uniform of gray. Rank after rank
passed by and I thought that the end
would never come.
There was no hesitation. The men
swung forward with quick steps and
l saw officers galloping along the lines
urging them forward
French Open Fire.
Suddenly there was fresh sound
of battle, this time in front Of me and
I knew that the French artillery had
opened upon the advance guard Of
the Germans. I moved cautiously for
ward to a point where I could get a
view of the battle scene. 1t was a
view which scared itself into my mem
ory
"The French guns were hurting a
hurricane Of steel and fame into the
German ranks, but the soldiers pushed
forward with their battle shouts on
their lips. Straight into that pit Of |
destruction rushed the advancing
troops. Men fell, on every hand. It |
seemed that whole platoons melted
away.
"Over the bodies Of the dead and
wounded pushed the rear ranks Of
The invading army, rushing with fixed
bayonets upon the smoking muzzles
of the French artillery. 1t was a su-
Derb picture Of gallantry.
AeropIane Is Smashed.
Near Erquelinnes I saw a German
aeroplane brought down. The mill
tary aviator was flying high in the
air, taking a reconnaissance Of the al
les positions. The specially construct
ID guns, designed to attack air craft,
we're turned upon the aeroplane, but
he aviator continued his work. Sud
lenly saw the machine lurch, splin-
.ers flew, and then the shattered ma
chine began to drop. It had been
smashed by a projectile."
