Singleton, one of the vice presidents
of the association, presided as toast
master, and several of the members
made impromptu speeches in which
they related "reminiscences of early
Washington. Gen. John NJ. Wilson, an
honorary member, told of the days
when he served as a page In the Sen
ate and came in contact with Henry
Clay, John c. Calhoun and other states
men of that time. Tho only speech de-
livered in a serious vein was that of
Matthew G. Trimb1e. former assistant
assessor of the District, who urged the
association members to take the lead
in endeavoring to promote friendly re-
lations between the people of the Dis
trict and Congress Chris J. Gockeler
and William H. Dennis both made short
talks, while DR.. Thomas Calver read

places in Belgium.
All Formalities Waived.
The action Of Holland in lending this
wheat has brought from the American
commission expressions of the deepest
gratitude. Particularly since it is recog-

need OF grain, bread having been placed
on a war basis throughout the country
When the question was raised as to
the time and manner of repaying this
loaned wheat, the Netherlands govern
ment waived all formality and declared

The Earth's Surface.

The surface Of the earth can be-
compared to the top of barrel OF
asphalt, hard and rigid through ond'
through, scanned and cracked on the
surface by the elements. For ten
miles in a straight line below the
surface the earth is probably dry,
and hard, of a rock substance. The
pressure of this substance upon the
heated center of the, earth keeps it
from getting hotter than it is, Just
as you can keep water from boiling
by an appropriately sufficient pres,
sure. The fact that there is steam
in volcanic eruptions is the leakage
of the interior pressure of heat In
the earth. The character of matter

thing Ike pumire stone-spongy,
porous, light Because when the
earth's interior mstter is melted In
the higi temperatures that are
