SCARCITY OF HOUSES IN
 INSPIRATION

Houses are scarce in Cordova. It is impossible to rent any kind of habi- tation. In fact the necessity of houses is felt so badly that one of our ress dents has burst forth in verse. This is the first time to our knowledge that the scarcity of houses has served as poetical inspiration. cozy little cottage, all in white, Stands so close within my sight. I gaze upon it most every time l look From the windows of my three-roomed
 nook.
 It's windows of such dainty shape, And why it's chimney never smokes Except at night-this is no joke. I've wondered why those bachelors
 keep
 This to themselves, it's far too sweet To batch in, when rooms by Were made for bachelors, don't you
 see.
 Houses are scarce, 1t seems to me, i'd willingly change my by 3, I'd keep it clean, inside and out, And for such freedom I would shout. Oh heartless man. if that you be, Won't you exchange this house with
 me?
 In advance, I'll pay the rent. Water and light bill, yes, every cent.

Mass Is employing the services Of the
two girls to show the pedagogical
classes at the university the time that
can be saved in teaching.
Seven days before neither girl had
ever studied any Latin. In tho COM
position submitted there was not a
mistake In vocabulary or position and
the other errors were very few. The
translation called for the use Of the
first and second declensions.
The secret lies In teaching the pu-
pills to associate" DR.. Berle said. II
started Jane and Betty by having
them learn the vocabularies through
looking up every English derivative.
When we came TO tho word 'MaEnus'
they went TO the dictionary and found
magnificent magnify

get that 'magrus' means 'great.'
las Il result these girls know their
voca bularies." tho educator said. The
trouble with the average person Is
that they cannot collect together what
they already know. Every subject
studied should be made to coordinate
with what one Is studying In other
lines"

exclusion. On account of the deiicacy
Of the subject 1t was deemed advisable
to consider II behind closed doors. No
action was taken.
The Senate adopted a resolution by
Senator Gallinger, the minority leader
calling on the chairman of the Fed
eral Trade Commission to inform the
Senate by what authority George r
Rublee Is serving on the commission.

CITY IS I0OkINe TO

ton of PAYING soldiers while
Serving Country.

When tho Finance Committee of City
Council meets tonight In regular ses-
sion. II Ia probable that besides pass
ing upon the tax question the COM
mtttee will. also. make a recommends
tion as to the payment Of city employ
es now engaged In serving Uncle Sam
either at Brownsville or at Camp
Stuart. There are fifteen such pa
triots. Most OF them were members
of local military organizations prior
to the Mexican stir. Some Of them
volunteered to go to the rescue of the
country after the call had been made
by the President.
Most Of them left lucrative Jobs to
take up arms ut nifty cents a day. Many
of them would like to return to the
dull routine of business. Fighting
typhoid and mosquitoes has grown
monotonous to them, 1t is said and
they would like to get back to work.
But they cannot. until Uncle Sam says
SO.
From the fact that the Finance Com
rnittee has asked for data concerning
the men now at the front, 1t is pre-
sumed that favorable recommendation
will be made for the payment of the
men while In the country's uniform.
It is known that a majority of mem
bers OF City Council favor the propo-
sition to pay the men while in ser
vice.
