MERE writer though l am | take pride
4V1 in being intensely practical person.
There's no reason why the man who drives
pen should not also drive a nail. That's
why I was fattered when Ethel asked me-
in all innocence, to do it. Paint that wicker
chair an ivory white? OF course I'd paint
that chair-any color in the rainbow-if she
willed You see, Ethel had been downtown
and had bought a wicker chair for our guest
chamber There was a difference of three
whole dollars and half between the painted
and the unpainted wicker chairs. And
knowing my love of potterlng about the
house, mailing this down tight and planning
that down smooth, Ethel had put it squarely
up to me to practice a little thrift and save
us the three dollars and a half by painting
that chair. She wanted it an ivory white.
AS l look back on it now, l can under
stand the difference in the price of a ready
painted and an unpainted wicker chair.
Taking the Lid of
The news of the purchase of the chair
came to me over the telephone in Etheps
silvery voice So I left the office an hour
earlier in order to buy the paint and allow
myself plenty of time to get the painting
done before dinner A brush cost me fifty
cents, and pint of paint cost me thirty
more-a slight reduction on EthePs economy.
But then l figured that the brush would do
for saving many more dollars, and so would
the paint that would be left over. The stuff
came in tin with replaceable lid, purpose
ly calculated for future reference. And so
! went home and set to work.
Ordinarily, painting is delightful work 10
me. The professional painter, of course,
wades right in. He charges all the paint
up to you, and he's inclined to be careless
where he puts it, whether on his overalls or
on the surrounding scenery. My own meth
cd is much better. I pride myself on put
ting the paint where the paint is really de-
sired that is, naturally, on the object to
be painted
I see my mistake now. But at that time
IL seemed to me such a simple and trihing
job to paint a wicker chair that never both
cred to change my clothes. There was full
hour, to be sure. before dinner but dislike
hurry. When painting I'd rather take little
more time and waste a little less paint. APP
preaching the chair with entire respect,
knew II would take me an hour, leaving no
time over for a change of clothing. There
would be just time to do the chair in
leisurely manner, call down the wife to ad-
mire my work, remove the smelly turpentine
from my hands and sit down to dinner with
the satisfaction of having dealt heavy blow
to extravaganza.

Warming Up the Cellar

So / took the chair at once down cellar un-
der a good electric light. And Instantly my
life seemed flooded with excitement. In the
first place, the man who designed the lid of
that can is in for large measure of disap-
probation. It was better calculated to con-
serve forever the contents of the can than TO
hermit OF their free and easy use. The lid
stuck. But after 10 minutes severe and tax
ing labor with a screw-driver 1t came OFF.
It came off with unexpected suddenness, and
a large spotch Of paint got wasted-wasted
on the right knee OF my new trousers.

NO LOSS TO CONTRACTOR.
Penalty Clause in Agreement to De-

Failure to deliver the entire order of

will not entail loss of $500 on con-
tract price Of $1,000 upon the con-
tractors. the Gleason Tiebout Glass
Company. Although the contractors
agreed to pay $40 day for every day
of dereliction in delivery, and were
fifty-two days over the term in COM
pleting delivery, the agreement was
void. in the opinion Of George T..
Downey, controller of the Treasury.
Only actual damages to the District
of Columbia, Controller Downey rules.
can be deducted: otherwise the con-
tractor may be paid the full amount of
the contract price.
The contract shows on it's face that
the provision, Notwithstanding its Ian
guage to the contrary, was incorpo-
rated not because of. or to provide for.
any real liquidation Of the damages
that would result from delay" COM
ments the controller of the Treasury.
The contract matter was entirely
capable of division, in the opinion OF
Controller Downey, and damages for
delays with reference to the delivery of
the glass contracted for were easily
rendered capable of proration accord
ing to the extent of the delay. The
agreement failed altogether to make
distinction between a complete or en-
tire failure to make delivery and a
partial failure.

SAYS BRYAN KNEW
Of SULLIVAN CASE
James L. Bryne Testifies He
Urged Secretary OF State
to Avert Scandal.
ADVISED OF CONSPIRACY
IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Witness Repeats Conversation he
Says He Had With the Ameri.

NEW 1Okh, JaHuarS " ieo'iii'oH )
| that Secretary of State Bryan was IN
formed that James NJ. Sullivan, Amer
lean minister to the Dominican Repub-
lie. figured in IN alleged conspiracy to
exploit public contracts in that repub-
lie was heard today at the inquiry by
Senator-elect Phelan into the minister's
fitness.
James L. Bryne of Boston, construc-
ton engineer. testified that he had told
Mr.. Bryan that the minister's cousin
Timothy ]. Sullivan, had told him that
the minister had arranged that the
Banco Nacional of Santo Domingo
should get, government contracts and
that he. Timothy j.. was down In San
to Domingo to manage the construction
work and see that Minister Sullivan
got his bit"
Mr.. Bryan, the witness said, asked
him to write it out and then SAID, fer-
haps you don't care to do this
Bryne said he would be glad to. and
the Secretary replied that it would not
be necessary.
IT got the impression said the wit
ness, that the Secretary didn't want
the matter on the records OF the State
Department"
Further Allegations.
The affidavit further stated that TIM
othy ]. Sullivan had said there would
be no trouble in carrying the business
through, as the Bancc Nacional. the
concern which worked UP this scheme
and was to finance it, was solid with
Secretary Bryan"
Sullivan also told the witness. ac-
cording to the affidavit, that Minister
Sullivan had used his influence to OBJ
tain $1,000 loan for him "from the
National Bank (sic) of Santo Domingo
and that it would never have to be paid
off, as that was eventually a part of
the minister's rake-off.
II told all these things in substance
as set forth in this affidavit to Secre-
tary Bryan" the affidavit continued.
81 know all the officials of the State
Department have been advised of the
true conditions in SantG Domingo by
many other Americans whose standing
and integrity cannot be questioned
The American people. the President
of the United States and the democratic
party have been discredited and dis
houored in Santo Domingo by the con-
duct of Minister Sullivan. The net re-
suit in Santo Domingo is that sincere
and honest American business men who
have invested their money in legiti-
mate enterprises for the development
of the Dominican Republic have suf-
fered great loss"

Wanted Bryan to Avert Scandal.

Supplementing his affidavit, Bryne
testified that he had asked Secretary
Bryan most urgently to clean out the
situation before it got public and
created a scandal
Secretary Bryan said to me-" testi-
fed the witness. 81 wish you'd
write this out and sign your name
to it and leave it here Then, keeping
his eyes on me. he said, Perhaps you
wouldn't care to do this 1 said, Mr..
Bryan. I wouldn't have come here If I
wasn't willing to stand by what I've
told you ! said ] would be glad to
write out a statement. and then he said
it would not be necessary. I did every
thing I could to get Mr.. Bryan to take
the matter up
Bryne testified that as far as he knew
the alleged conspiracy had not matured.
chiefly because of Timothy J. Sullivan's
frankness in discussing the subject.
Todays session ended with the con-
clusion of Bryne's testimony.

Never Such Wheat Prices in Pacific
Northwest

At Portland. on Puget sound and
throughout the Pacific Northwest,
wheat commands the highest prices
paid since cargoes started out of the
country for distant markets. 1t is
questioned II such prices were ever
paid before since DR.. Mclaughlin, "a
years ago, blasted out a millrace and
built -four mill at the falls OF the
Willamette. Or, to take yet an ear
lier date. since the Hudson Bay peo-
pie built their little mill at the falls
of the Coleville river some 90 years
ago.
AS surely as the melting SHOWS
swell the rivers in springtime. just as
surely will these high prices for the
products of the farm and the stock
ranch bring prosperity to the towns
and cities of the Inland Empire.
What at s1.12 in the farming coun-
try around Spokane must fill with joy
the hearts of those farmers who were
In the country 20 years ago when the
price dropped to zero-when the
bulk of the crop was ruined or in
jured by rains and even choice mill
ing wheat sold as low as 25 cents Il
bushel.
Many have forgotten the cheer that
came when wheat went up a few
years later and sales were reported
n 10 nxria af
a bushel. When 1t climbed to 60
cents the farmer thought himself
again on easy street.
While the Spokesman-Review can
not undertake to forecast the future
1t Is not beyond the bounds of pru.
dence to say that many authorities il
the grain business look forward to a.
good or better prices Throughout
1915. And the live stock industr,
seems assured long period of gooC
or fancy prices. Officials of the Unit
ed States department say that shor
OF 10 years it will be a physical an,
Industrial impossibility to build vi
American herds to their mum bers o
few years ago. In other words. w
may prepare for a decade of higl
meat prices.
Never In the agricultural histor,
OF the country has there been a tim
when stock growers could go forwar,
with such prospects of immediat
and continuing reward.
Commercial and Industrial timid
ity cannot long withstand these reas
surfing influences. The frost OF i'm
