Suggests Twin Day.

washington. - Suggestion that
there be a nationwide observance
OF Twin Day" on May 16. has been
made to President Wilson by Miss
Helen c. Diehl, a student in the
School of Journalism at the Univer-
sity OF Texas, and that all twins
wear two flowers on the day desig-
mated. AT the Texas university
there is twin club.
The date suggested is Miss Diehl's
birthday. She says that she is a
twin, having a brother to whom she
is very devoted.
Il find said Miss Diehl. that
there is some sort of bond that
unites such kindred souls. and
have also found that all twins are
interested in sill other twins. There
are ten sets of twins in the Univer-
sity of Texas, and we have a Twin
club, Unique club, which has no
meetings, no dues or elections. We
are going to wear flowers on Twin
Day and we would like TO have
twins everywhere do SO, too"

culture clubs. Mrs. Leigh repre-
sented the Current Event club at

The plumbing demands considera BILE
attention. If it is of the old-fashioned
sort, it is necessary to tear it out and
replace it with modern fixtures with
vent pipes and other things demanded
by modern sanitation laws. The heat
ing plant must receive its share of at
tention. 1t may be necessary to re-
place latrobes with a furnace. Cracked
walls must be pointed up, and after
the papering and painting has been
done the floors must receive attention
Old worn carpet strips at the door
ways are removed and new ones put
in their place. Sometimes it is neceS-
sary to have the floors planed. but in
many instances good washing and
fresh coats of filler and varnish will
fill the bill.
Holes in the concrete floor of the
cellar must be repaired, and it is ad-
visable to see that good stout coal
bin is provided. A coat of whitewash
over walls and ceiling costs only lit
tie. but adds greatly to the appear
ance of the cellar. and incidentally
makes for greater sanitation
The backyard fence should receive at
tention. The old dilapidated gate
should be removed and replaced by one
that will swing on its hinges and can
he securely fastened. High board
fences are giving way to backyard
fences of woven wire. Little differ
ence will be found in the cost. In the
same way wooden fenceposts are being
replaced by pieces of stout iron pipe
the property should make every effort
to make the house as up-to-date as pos
sible if he wants to sell the property to
the best advantage.

Will Qualify for Service.

BY the time all of these subjects for
the two years are completed it is ex
pected that the young men who remain
in the class will be able to go out and
help the American business man to ex-
tend his foreign trade. The idea in Or
ganizing the class, it is declared, was
to give to the young men in the bu-
reau the advantages of a course of
study-on a limited scale-that is
available in schools of commerce of
several of the leading universities.
A feature of the school in connection
with the trend of the government as
well as the commercial interests of
the country toward Latin American
trade relations is a class in Spanish.
This class is held twice a week, On
Tuesdays and Fridays.
But not all of the work of the en-
ployes of the bureau in the school is
heavy work. for there has been or
ganized the Foreign and Domestic
Commerce Club to take away some of
the monotony in connection with the
consideration of the heavy school sub

Meetings of the Club.

minutes after the closing hour, 4:30.
The programs for the club are made as
entertaining as possible, in apprecia-
tion of the fact that the clerks, after
working hard with trade problems all
day, are usually in no mood to take
up the discussion of heavy questions
The programs are largely taken up
with addresses by consuls, attaches
and others visiting this country from
foreign fields and officials of other bu-
reaus. Among those who have ad-
dressed the club are DR.. Veditz. COM
mercial attache at Paris. Moving pic
lures and lantern slides and talks by
prominent men and women on various
subjects are to be features of the
