The old and valuable furniture of
the beautiful red room of the White
House has been seriously damaged by
an unusual small beetle. These in
sects have devoured practically all the
hair padding used in the upholstery
OF the furniture.
Specimens Of the insects have been
sent to the experts of the bureau of

ture, with a view to having the beetle
classified and determining to avoid its
ravages in the future.
Contracts have been awarded to

equipment is not only cheaper, but il
is more efficient being compact
and thereby economizing space, anc
