SENATORS RESENT
WILSON'S COURSE
CritiCiSe His Persistence in Re-
nominating Officials
Once Rejected.
ATTITUDE MAY LEAD
TO STRAINED RELATIONS
Effective Action by Chamber Held
Likely to Follow Continue
ton Of Policy.

President Wilson's persistence IN
sending to the Senate nominations
which that body has once rejected. or
nominations of officials who are per-
sonally Objectionable to the senators
representing the states where these Of
ficials hold Office, will soon bring about
strained relations between the Senate
and the President, in the opinion OF
some of the senator's.
The constitutional right of the Sen
ate to pass upon executive nominations
Of certain classes is being ignored by
the President. they claim
eff the President is to continue in Of
fee his appointees who have been re-
jected by the Senate" said one senator
today. ''he might just as we'll disoon-
tinue sending any nominations to the
Senate for it's consideration and APP
prevail. The Constitution, however, is
doubt but what the Senate will have
something to say In a very effective
manner II this course is pursued"
Refuses to Confirm Collins.
The nomination of W. N Collins as
postmaster at Kansas City, Mo-, a re-
cess appointee of President Wilson.
was rejected by the Senate yesterday.
Senator Reed Of Missouri was opposed
to confirmation OF the recess appointee
and the Senate rejected it without de-
bate.
This is tho second rejection by the
week, it having refused to confirm
the nomination of j. D. Lynn to be dis
trict attorney for western New York
Mr.. Lynn having been opposed by Sen
ator O'Gorman.
Many senators maintain that none o.
the recess appointments will be con-
firmed II they are Objectionable to sen.
ators from the states in question. and
they also hold that such reflections
should operate to prevent recess ap'
pointees from holding office. The Pres.
ident, it was understood, in the case OF
Mr.. Lynn, maintained that he should
hold Office until March next under the
recess appointment. despite rejection OF
the nomination by the Senate.
Also May Be Turned Down.
The President sent to the Senate yes
terday the nomination of Mrs. Marjorie
Bloom to be postmaster at Devils Lake
N. D. This nomination was rejected by
the Senate last October. but following
the adjournment OF Congress the Pres
ident gave recess appointment te
Mrs. Bloom, and II is that appointment
for which he now seeks confirmation
by the Senate. Senator Gronna Of
North Dakota has been fighting this
appointment, and 1t is believed that II
will be rejected.
The President first sent the nomina-
ton of John H. Bloom to be postmas-
ter at Devils Lake. but 500 citizens OF
that place signed a protest against
Bloom. The Senate rejected Blooms
nomination. The charges against Bloom
were serious. The President then ap-
pointed Mrs. Bloom, and the Senate
also rejected her nomination. That the
Senate will again reject Mrs. Blooms
nomination is believed to be foregone
conclusion.

TAKOMA PARK PLANS
BETTER WATER SYSTEM
Committee Recommends Many I'm
provements to the Town
Authorities.

| The water and sewer committee OF
Takoma Park. through its chairman
l. r. Grabill, has recommended to the
town authorities the adoption of the
general plan for a new reservoir and
the improvements of the present NUM-
cipal water works of that suburb as
contained in the report of Harry
Stevens, civil engineer. selected by the
town council for the work. The adop-
tion of the plan is recommended. how
ever. subject to revision as to details.
The report has been referred to the
with instructions to consider the mat
ter from q financial standpoint.
For Higher Water Level.
Among the changes urged is one that
the water level of both reservoir and
dam be made two feet higher than pro-
posed This. it is pointed out by the
committee, will give a considerable in
crease Of capacity and render it unlikely
that the pumps to supply the filters will
ever be required, since, before the pumps
would be needed. 10000 gallons per day
for about eleven days could be used if
the water is placed at the higher level
The proposed improvements to the pres
emit water works include the purchase Of
one new pumping engine at an early date
The estimated cost of installing such an
engine, adapted to the use OF low-grade
oil or other economical fuel, is $1,000.
1t is expected that its use will save near
1y half of the amount now paid for gaso-
line. or nearly $500 a year.
Tho committee puts itself on record
as believing that the execution OF the
work proposed will result in lasting
l. = ~ h. Ha<
at equal expense in no other way, and
that 1t will insure a satisfactory sup
ply of water for at least twenty years
to come. Especial attention Is called to
the fact that the safety of the popu-
lation water-borne diseases will also
be largely insured.
Revised Estimates.
The committee submits the following
revised estimates: Cost Of acquiring
land, not to exceed three acres. If found
to be necessary. 3sos; new oil engine
installed, $1,000: excavation. s2.4s5;
outlet wall. $3.50: gates, SITS; waste
pipe. $40; dam. $3.50; pipe. 1851: lining
of gravel six inches thick, s1,S75; en-
cheering and other contingencies.
$433: making a total Of $4,000.
II the embankment Is raised two feet
to avoid need Of pumping: the commit
tee suggests that there be added ap-
proximately $1,000. The concrete lin
ing for reservoir. new tank Of lower
elevation and new filter unit may be
deferred until later.
The committee is Of the opinion that
the work ought to be completed within
two years and that the acquiring OF the
land and excavation work and con-
struction of the dam should be UNDER
taken at once.
The members Of the water and sewer
committee are L. R Grabill, chairman;

ROUMANIAN COMMISSION
STUDY U. S. MADE ARMS
Engineers and Army Officers Make
Call Of Courtesy on Secre-
tary Bryan.

Attesting Roumania's intention to be
prepared for war. and possibly de-
cision to throw herself into the great
European conflict against Austria and
Germany, a royal commission arrived
here yesterday, making inquiries re-
garding the purchase Of arms and am
munition in this country.
This commission made a call of cour-
tesy on Secretary Bryan at the State
Department. It contains two Rouma-
MAN army officers and two engineers.
The commissioners are Maj. Demetre
Propesco, Capt Bucliu, Alexandra Can
timir and Agrippa Propesco.
Tho visitors expect to spend several
months in this country. visiting the
principal manufacturing cities to ac-
quaint themselves with American proc
esses and resources.
Purpose of Commission.
1t is understood that their purpose is
to determine whether the Roumanian
government shall buy In the United
States q considerable quantity OF arms,
ammunition and supplies formerly OBJ
tanned in Germany and Austria, which
sources have been cut off by the war.
The commissioners were accompanied
to the State Department by Robert F.
Rose. foreign trade adviser OF the State
Department. and carried a letter Of In
PRODUCTION from the American minister
to Roumania, Charles ]. Vopicka.
Roumania, it is said, finds that she
cannot purchase sufficient quantities OF
arms and ammunition In Europe, and
has turned to the United States. Be
sides arms and ammunition, they prob
ably will place contracts Tor horses'
foodstuffs, clothing and other supplies,
which American manufacturers can
ship to Roumania with the guarantee
Of British naval protection.
Austria Has No Delusions.
A letter from Austria just received
here said that Austria has no decisions
about Roumania's Intentions. and has
modified her forces to oppose an in
yaston Of Transylvania. the Austrian
province which is inhabited chiefly by
Roumanians.
1t was said in this letter that Austria
had not carried out to any adequate
extent her system OF Notifications
along the Roumanian frontier. as she
had not regarded an attack from Rou-
mania as probable. The Austrians, It
was said, have made great efforts in
the last few months to throw up adj
ditional Notifications along the Rou-
manian border.

Protests Of Little Avail.

While the attitude Of the Washing
ton government Is chiefly due to de-
sire to keep from being entangled In
the warm controversies. its course
also has been Influenced largely by
the feeling that during the progress
of the conflict protests from even neu-
trail powers are of little avail, though
surely will be taken into full account
when a final reckoning is made at the
conference OF powers which will meet
ultimately to discuss terms OF peace.

SAVING TIME AND STRENGTH
Proper Planning Of Household Dutles
VIII Do Away With Much Unnec.
essary Wear and Tear.

The housewife should carefully
study the conservation of her strength
and energy during the hot weather.
All the short cuts to housekeeping, as
well as the many little devices for
saving time and labor, should be care
fully considered. That is one of the
best features Of the modern house
keeping. 1t teaches the conservation
OF energy, Of training the head to save
the heels; the adding of the element
or inventiveness and scientific thought
to the problem Of the home that will
save the wife and mother from un-
necessary wear and tear.
Careful menu planning is one of the
means by which she may reduce her
labor-by emitting many dishes labor.
iously made that are often served
from force of habit. The mother and
grandmother probably handed them
down as priced possessions, and It
seems almost sacrilege to omit their
preparation, even though It means
hours over hot stove.
BY substituting others of equal food
value, but which require less time and
labor In preparing, much time and
strength may be saved. A more care.
full study Of food values will soon en-.
able even the busiest housewife to
do this.
The same reduction Of labor may be
made In regard to clothing. There
are so many fabrics on the market
that are equal in appearance II not
superior to garments made from those
that often require hours and hours OF
the most arduous toll over the wash.
tub or ironing board to make ready
for a few hours wear.
When the housewife studies the ele.
ments Of the science of utility and
proportion that underlie even the com.
monest household task she will then
be guided more than ever by common
sense, which avoids unnecessary
work, worry or any of the things that
rob a woman of her birthright of
pleasure and happiness and make her
look old before her time.
