Champ Is Ready TO Rush Business

Washington Dispatch, Dec. /.
Speaker Clark said today that IL
Congress wanted to clean the legis-
lative slate and go home next March
fourth he gladly would join in a
movement to eliminate useless ora
tory by cutting down gallery space
and abolishing the Congressional
Record, and to introduce voting ma
chimes.
1T isn't difficult to see that gal
leries and the Record cause an awful
waste of time and money" the Speak
err declared. Anytime the galleries
are full the orators on the floor are
posing and wasting time. And every
body knows there are any number
of Congressman who talk for the
Record a great deal more than is
necessary.
THE Record isn't necessary. The
English House of Commons has none.
A journal is kept.
II haven't much hope. though that
I'd receive much support II | started
to make fight for smaller galleries
and no Record. so | won't start It.
But there is hope that the present
method OF taking roll calls will be
abolished. 1t is archaic and time
waster."
Minority Leader Mann today offer
ed figures to substantiate his view
that under no circumstances could
the Democrats have majority in the
next House. but that there was a
chance for the Republicans to have
Els members. He added that he was
not worrying about the speakership
and thought 1t would be much more
fun to remain on his present job.

two pints. and I'm going tc stand here
and see you drink them yourself"
A New Brighton public was the
scene Of this story: Three men en-
tered and one of them ordered and
paid for three bottles of stout. The
barmaid brought the bottles un-
corked and one glass. On being asked
for two more glasses she politely In
tlmaled that the man who ordered the
three bottles must drink them, and
that she had nothing TO do with his

War Brings Autos to Crow Indians

The British are anxious to secure
good horses for use in the present
war, and they are buying large num-
bers from the Grow Indians.
The Crows are the wealthicst of the
northern Indian tribes and their
horses are the best.
The British are paying good prices
to the tribe, each horse fetching $50
1t has become quite a craze TO spend
the money thus obtained In buying
motor cars. Even the poorest Crow
possesses from ten to twelve horses
At the first opportunity he sells these
and buys a car.
During the BOer war the British
army purchased thousands of the In
dim ponies. The animals were light
hut strong. and capable of great en-
durance. With the money from thelr
ponies, the Crows invested in thor
oughbred stations and mares finally
possessing remarkably fine strain.

For Pleasure and War.

AS an indirect result of the valu-
able service rendered by power boats
during the conflict abroad, some little
attention has been aroused in this
country to the ACCESSIBILITY of organlz-
Ing "mosquito feet" for mine patrol
and scouting duties. A plan contem-
plating the registration of all pleasure
craft of this kind so that they might
be available for service In an event Of
war, has even been proposed. OF late,
however, another step has been taken
In this direction which is particularly
significant and interesting. According
to Popular Mechanics Magazine, sew
eral Fasteners are having scout
boats" built for their private use.
These have been designed by naval
architects, and are not merely suit
able, but in part equipped, for naval
purposes, and would be practically
ready for immediate use If necessity
should ever require that they he
turned over to the navy department.

BEER AND GRAIN.

Germans are beginning to chafe
against the liberty granted to the brew
er to waste grain, while the consump-
tion of bread is restricted and cattle
are grudged their usual sustenance.
Daily 5000 hundredweight Of barley
are wasted by Germans in producing
beer. To make a litre of beer nearly
half pound of barley is required,
and some Germans drink five litres a
day. one writer sums up the case
against the beer drinker in these
trenchant words: whoever drinks
beer during the war. takes away a
piece Of bread from his fellow man,
robs his people of meat and butter and
deprives our children, our sick and
wounded Of the milk and eggs so nee
essary."

HIGH COMMERCIAL STANDING.

A few years ago a commission came
over from Germany to investigate the
causes OF the industrial supremacy Of
the United States In their report
they asserted that the victories Of
American trade are largely due TO the
fact that for thirty years children in
the public schools have been taught
the evils OF intoxicating drink, and
that in more than 400 lines of indus
try no man could secure employment
II he we're known to be addicted to
intoxicating beverages.
II might be added that the laws
in all the states requiring scientific
temperance instruction in the public
schools are the result OF persistent
work on the part OF the Woman's
Christian Temperance union.
