WISE AND OTHERWISE

There's a reason for everything
except women.
Some politicians are afraid that
with wireless politics they will be
unable to make the connection.
AS matter of political history
it would be interesting to know
who was clerk of court when Ad-
am got his marriage license.
The woman who went after her
husband with stick of dynamite
evidently intended giving him a
regular old-fashioned blowing
up"
The man who spends his leis-
out fire insurance policy on his
life must have had bunch as to
where he was going.
A German savant wants to
know how long a dream lasts.
That often depends upon how
long you put off the marriage
ceremony, or how long before
election day.
A dispatch says New York is to
have a building 81 stories high,
with a flag pole $50 feet above
that. The whole thing sounds
like another story which makes
SO in all.
The proud parents who have
their babies pictures taken in the
nude don't stop to think what an
embarrassment they may some
time prove to the original in la
ter life.
The man who spends his lies
ure hours improving his mind is
making an investment that will
pay more than a hundped per
cent.
A young lady who tries to keep
house on her musical education
will find married life rather fiat

A thing demented:
The world has gone ahead,
And all things show it.;
Forward the age has spsd--
He doesn't know it.
And so he drifts along

And all, things matter,
And yet I envy him,

CAPITALS WATER SUPPLY.

The daily per capita consumption
and waste of water in the district in
the year ending June 80 was 160 gal
Ions, according to a report just is
sued This Is based on an estimated
population of 353,297.
The maximum daily amount of wa
ter pumped to the filters during the
year was 73.680,000 gallons. The max
imum consumption of water for "a
hours occurred in July, 1913, and the
minimum daily consumption during
the year was 44,760,000 gallons in Oc-
tober last. The maximum daily con-
sumption for June, 1914, was 60.590,-
900, and the minimum daily consump-
ton for that month was 51.4S0,000
The average daily consumption for
that month was 60,400,000 gallons. The
average daily consumption for the en-
tire year 1913-1914 was 56,430.000 gal
Ions.
These figures show a decrease in
the daily average consumption and
waste of water in the district, with
few exceptions, since 1899, when the
present complete system of records
was instituted.

SAW MCPHERSON FALL.

Representative Sherwood, chair
man of the committee on invalid pen
sions, has been challenged TO fight
a duel. He has, indeed. The chal-
lenger Is Representative Harris of
Alabama. The challenge is in good
faith, too Harris was in the Con-
federate army and General Sherwood
rose to high rank in the Union army.
Now, do you begin to catch on? They
fought at Peach Tree Creek-fought
each other, you see. near Atlanta, Ca,
on July Il, 1864, the day that Cen
eral Mcpherson, the Union command
er. was killed. General Sherwood, in
command of brigade, fought against
a Confederate force of which Repre-
sentative Harris was an officer. They
both saw General Mcpherson fall

Gently, the two learned that they had

Whereupon Mr.. Harris sent chal-
lenge to General Sherwood to fight
a duel at 80 PAGES with f1recrackers.
General Sherwood said it was the
first time in his life that a chal-
lenge had been sent to him. But you
can't fire a firecracker in the District
Of Columbia, so General Sherwood
feels right safe for the present.

NO EXCUSE FOR EARLY RISING
10 Assertion Made by Father
Dwight.

The arrogance Of the man who
arises to the minor heroism of a cold
bath has been complained of by less
heroic folk who arise to a tepid OF
warm one. To be set apart by the
ability to stand the shock of cold wa
ter has seemed to less vigorous folk
an unsubstantial claim. to Immortality
1t lacks moral sufficiency and is toe
much made of by the cold bathers.
Another arrogance is given consid
Grafton by the Rev. Walter Dwight
S. j., in America. 1t is the arrogance
of early risers. Father Dwight denies
them heroism and enters into doubt
as to their intelligence. AS rule he
finds them a notably arrogant set,
appearing to believe that they move
on a higher ethical plane"
Every normal human being, not
given ordinarily to early rising, but
being on occasion tempted or forced
into it, has felt the strange spiritual
aff1atus, the moral patting on the back
in consequence thereof. The feeling
that good deed has been done for
a naughty world is inexplicable, but
supreme.
Father Dwight is remorseless. The
early riser is the least intelligent OF
mankind.

IN NEED OF DYES.
Attention of State Department
Is Called to New War Peril.
Representative Herman A. Metz Of
New York Says Failure to Keep Up
These imports Would Close
Many Factories.

Washington.-Shou the war in Eu-
rope operate to cut off the shipment to
this country from Germany of dyes
used in the manufacture of cottons
and silk the result will be the sus-
pension of work by many factories and
the throwing out of employment thou
sands of persons, says Representative
Herman A. Metz OF New York, who is
a dealer in chemicals and dyestuffs.
Mr.. Metz informed the house of this
threatening situation the other day,
and said it would be one of the most
serious in it's positive outcome that
confronted this country on account OF
the conflict abroad.
Mr.. Metz held the opinion that the
trouble might be averted largely
through action by the state depart
ment. He said he had informed the
secretary of state of the conditions
and has urged that the department
get in touch with American ambassa-
doris, ministers and consuls abroad
that they might know the Importance
of obtaining ships to bring German
dyes to this country
This Is a question that concerns
practically every part of the United
States," said Mr.. Metz. These dye
stuffs are used in the manufacture of
cotton, wool, silk, leather and chemi-
calls. There is in this country today
not more than 80 days supply. In the
last ten days l have had at least rs
per cent of the manufacturers of cot
ton and wooden goods in my office
begging for enough goods to keep
them going.
These goods are generally shipped
in Dutch bottoms down the Rhine to
Rotterdam, and from there are trans
shipped to New York. These goods
are neutral. They are not contraband.
The state department should keep in
communication with our consuls In
Germany with view to keeping open
the transit of these products from
abroad. 1t affects the running Of
mills and the manufacture Of medi-
ca! preparations. 1t is very serious
situation that confronts u.s."

GOODYEAR TIRES AT
ANTE-BELIUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr. F. A Sieberling, president
OF the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
1--WE advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in day crude
rubber rose in New York from So cents
per pound to much over dollar.
1.-THE New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick of
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1,5OO,-
900 pounds of the finest rubber.
THAT big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the
best of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade OF
rubber and the same amount of it as
we always have used In these tires.
eve are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
q day. SO long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply tire users at before-war prices
10 the limit of our capacity.

UNCLE SANS COMMERCE.

The worlds carrying power practi-
cally has doubled during the last 20
years, and now includes about 21,.
600 vessels, with an aggregate capa-
city of 47,000,000 gross tons, according
to figures issued by the department
OF commerce. In number, however,
this commerce has decreased slightly,
the tendency being toward larger car
rying units.
The United States ranks second in
number and tonnage of vessels en-
gagged in commerce, due to the vast
number engaged in lake and coast
wise trade, since the number OF
American vessels engaged in foreign
trade is less than that Of Great Brit
ain, Germany, France, Italy or Nor
way
The carrying trade of the United
States shows marked growth IN
coastwise and lake traffic and a
striking decline on the ocean. While
the gross tonnage of American ves-
sells In lake and coastwise trade in
creased from 1867 ,304 tons in 1883 to
9.789,561 tons in 1913, that OF it's ves-
sells in the foreign trade decreased
from 1,302,095 tons to 1,027,776 tons,
an increase in one case of 1853 per
cent and a decrease in the other OF
81 per cent during a 30-year period,
In which the value of American for
eign trade rose from $1.250.00O.O00 to
$4,225, 100000
While the volume of the oversee
commerce served by the worlds mer-
chant marine cannot be definitely
stated, the United States sends about
four-fifths of it's exports to South
America and oversee countries.
