WASHINGTON NEWS
BY Edward Keating

Colorado is to be congratulated ON
her representatO in the upper
house of Congress. Senators Thomas
and Shafroth constitute a truly
great team. do not say this mere
ly because our SEM tors happen to be
members of the political party with
which l affiliate, but because / be
lieve their abors have been so var
led and important that they deserve
frank recognition.
l haven't much respect for the
'pork-barrel' stat sman-the tyre of
legislator who is always lodging de
batable questions and who would
trade his immorssl soul for an ap-
preparation for a new postoffice il
his district.
Thomas and shafroth do not be
long in that class and yet when it
comes to ''del vering the goods" OH
matters of peculiar interest to Colo
RADIO, they have made a record which
has probably never been excelled.

The bill as drafted by the Interior
Department YVES so liberal that
very seriously question if it would
have passed the House in the or
dinary way without amendments in
tended to devtalze it. Shafrotn
tempt the unusual-offer it as an
amendment to an appropriation bill.
A single obje; ton would have de-
feated the plan, but the Senator's
was made a part of TIE appropriation
bill it was easy for the Western
members CT the House to smooth
the way for its passage through that
body.
Senators Thomas and Shafroth are
comparatively new members of the
Senate, but through the sheer force
of their ability and industry they are
already recognized leaders. On ev'
cry big issue that comes before the uI
per House. 1t is no exaggeration to
say tha. if it had not been for their
unf- ltering 10y lty Preside@t Wfson'

PROUD OF DISTINCTIVE GARB
Japanese Carpenters Wear Peculiar
Coat BIazoned With the Name
of Their Employer.

The artisan of old Nippon is a walk
ing advertisement for his employer,
At work he wears a long blue coat
blazoned between the shoulders with
a huge white Japanese character de-
noting the name of the contractor
for whom he works
Down the front are figured in white
other names OF thl contractor; wheth-
er they may be called given nam es
or Christian. names 1 cannot say. At
any rate, the name on the back is
the one the contractor is known Dy
to the world, like our Smith or Jones.
Below this name is a rectangular de-
sign in white covering the entire
skirt OF the coat.
When the Japanese artisans first
came to the exposition grounds to
erect their national pavilions specta-
tors thought they were some part of
a pageant rather than carpenters, for
their long coats are like the tabards
worn by heralds in ancient times.
The coat is perquisite OF the carpen-
ter. Twice year his employer has
to give him new one.
For the rest, the carpenter wears
pair of high-waisted, close-tittlng,
long blue tights with stocking feet, re-
enforced on the soles with thin leath-

Miss Corelli is the only novelist in

She is like the long-haired chap
who walked into the general store at

Well, give me all you've got.

The grocer, as he bundled up the
eggs, laughed and said:

EastIand Disaster Causes Gov
ernment to Establish Rule to
Prove Stability.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3o-One of the d.
rect results Of the Eastland disaster
and its effects on the steamboat inspec-
ton service Of the Department Of Com
merce Is a new law added to the rules of
the service making "inclining tests" OF
vessels imperative when the stability of
any vessel Is questioned.
This new departure thus introduces
into the merchant marine Of the United
States a custom that Is almost unknown
herein actual practice-although al
ways made by our naval constructors In
the case OF navy ships.
The new rule was received In the
local office of the steamboat inspection
service in the custom house on Au-

letter addressed to United States SUI

When inspectors have any reason
to question the stability of any ves-
sci under their Jurisdiction they
shall require the owners Of the ves-
sci to make inclining tests on such
vessel under the supervision of ex-
pert naval architects provided BY
the Department of Commerce.
In practice this would mean that
when one OF the New York local in
spectors thought a ship too cranky
he would notify Washington of the
matter and then wash his hands OF
the responsibility until the Department

home in taking the religious census
Mrs. Daugherty was sitting on the
porch crocheting some lace and tears
were falling from her eyes. My daugh-
ter was touched by the sight, think
ing that the woman was in trouble.
She stated her errand. when the wom-
an asked her into the house. AS she
walked in. Mrs Daugherty locked the
front of her dress. Then she began to
upbraid my daughter and swore at
her.
I'm going to burn you at the stake
nj,d thrust hot pokers through
you. she cried. I'm going to put you
where you can't be walking the streets
like the crazy girl you are
MY daughter was helpless, as she
is much smaller than her assailant.
Finally the woman called a policeman
and told him to come and get crazy
girl that she had with her.
MY daughter was overjoyed when
the policeman arrived and relea sed
her. She was very Ill last night from
the shock and we feared a nervous
breakdown" Captain Briggs said a
complaint will be filed against Mrs.
Daugherty.
