Bundle Wrapping.

In The Star yesterday was shown
graphically a case Of unnecessary bun
die wrapping, such as that which has
been recently directed to the attention
of the Washington public. a small bot.
tie of machine oil had been sent to the
residence of the purchaser with other
goods, incased in two sheets of wrapping
paper. a sheet of corrugated cardboard
and bundle of excelsior. making a bulk
at least twenty times as large as the
purchased article, and altogether more
than was necessary for its protection.
This instance of needless wrapping gives
point TO the protest against waste in the
handling Of goods for delivery in the
stores, and adds to the interest in the
bundle wrapping demonstration and
contest to be held tonight at local
theater.
The housewives of Washington are al
ready realizing the Importance of paper
economy and are expressing their desire
for more simple deliveries from the
stores As never before. the importance
of piece of wrapping paper is being
appreciated Papers that were formerly
crumpled up and thrown away as trash
are being smoothed out and saved for
home wrappings. Boxes are being pre-
served for future use. The heretofore
unconsidered trife has become valuable
in the eyes of thousands.
This is the thrift habit that The Star
hopes to encourage and stimulate Thrift
can be shown in more than the saving of
papers. There are scores of opportuni
ties to prevent waste in every home In
some homes these little economies have
always been practiced as matter of
need. but in many others no thought has
been given to them because no neces-
sity was ever presented. Part of the
present high cost of living is due to this
Indifference to the small economies prev
alent in so large number of American
homes. r.

Overwhelming Rumania.

Removal OF the Rumanian govern
ment from Bucharest TO Jassy is an
nouneed and may be taken as prelude
TO the German occupation of the capital.
Apparently nothing can stop the adj
vancing Teutonic forces sweeping south
and east and north from Hungary and
Bulgaria and steadily advancing in con
centric lines. The Rumanians them
selves have fallen back from point to
point. at least one portion of their force
having been completely surrounded at
Orsoya. If Russian reinforcements have
been dispatched to this front they have
not been in sufficient numbers to per
NIT successful resistance. Ii has lust
been announced, however, that the Rus
pended to permit the sending Of heavy
detachments into Rumania. and possibly

rest is reached, though the German line

miles Of the capital
This Austro- German movement into
Rumania has proceeded with remarkable
precision and efficiency. Either over
whelming forces have been thrown into
Rumania for the advance or the Ru
manians themselves have been exhaust
ed in men or munitions by their earlier
efforts in Pennsylvania. Whatever the
cause, whether lack of men or a short
age of supplies. their resistance has been
utterly inadequate They have fallen
back from one strong position to an
other. chiefly, it would seem, because
they were outfanked in every case This
suggests that they have been outnum
bered. but since the actual invasion of
Rumania began Gen. Falkenhayn has
demonstrated much greater mobility
of movement than the Rumanians. His
generalship has been exceptional, con-

Congress.

In the opinion of some experienced
legislators, there viii not be time enough
at the coming session of Congress to
dispose of both the routine and the full
program the President Will submit in his
annual message. Hence the gossip re-
ferred to in a news story in yesterday $
Star about an extra session of the new
Congress. The President, it is under
stood, does not desire to call one
There are fourteen supply bills, some
of them carrying large sums, and all of
them important. They will provide for
the fiscal year beginning July l next.
Uncle Sans bills must be met when pre-
sented. He does no business on tick.
and he is doing more business now than
ply bills have the right of way
We shall not know until the President
has spoken what his desires are in the
way of legislation, or where he lays the
emphasis. He is expected at least to
outline his wishes next Tuesday Later,
he may have something further to say.
His friends doubtless will exert them
selves to meet his wishes.
Allowance must also be made for
propositions outside the routine coming
from senators and representatives For
an instance, there is the embargo propo-
sition of Representative Fitzgerald of
New York, which may lead TO a lengthy
debate and a warm struggle 1t will be
both pressed and opposed with great
earnestness. 1t involves much more
than keeping foodstuffs at home in this
time of high prices: and when the de-
bate begins all that is involved will be
developed.
An even more difficult question is
that growing out of the so-called eight
hour law, and which is all the more diff
ieult because of the action taken at the
last session under hold-up. 4 bad
start has created a bad impression and
confused the situation.
An extra session might work personal
Inconvenience: but they are never
taken into account as against public in
forests The new Congress is at the
Presidents call He can command 4
meeting as soon as he thinks the coun-
try's business demands. and hold the
body in session until that business in
some form has been disposed of This
being true. the time of the coming ses-
sion of the expiring Congress should be
divided so as to give preference to those
measures whose delay would cause the
greatest degree of public inconvenience

and came as a big surprise to the large following of the Vols in Bir- mingham. The Vols. on account of having Roy Ellam at their helm, are rather strong favorites here.
 The Barons are a full game nearer the bottom this morning than they were yesterday. The Memphis Chicks, who are pushing the Barons for sixth place, defeated the Atlanta Crackers and the Barons are tied for seventh place in the league standing. The Barons are deeper in the mire at the present than at any time previous this season and a little help in any manner in order that we might accum- ute few wins would certainly be ap- preciated.
 Today is ladies' day and the fellows usually try and show off. Maybe, through this channel, the Barons will be able to score a victory. We don't care how we win the game; in fact, a little help from the umpires would be accepted with joy The Barons are in a deplorable condition and help from any method would be a source of unlimited joy.
 We don't mind admitting that we are strong for the Barons and the sooner they start to win the strong CT we'll be for them.

no surprise. The team has been going poorly for the past month and rumors of trades have filled the air It is reported that the Barons will secure five new players. The addition of a catcher, q pitcher and two infielders would place the Barons in the fight for the rag. The race is by no means over and a winning spurt, molded after that of the Boston Braves in 1914, would soon wit ness the Barons near the top of the ladder.
 The fans will greet the news that new material is being added to the Barons. The team will begin to play ball and the fans can now expect to see the brand of ball that the fans have been accustomed to witness at Redwood Field. Another trade will most probably be announced today.
