Many Persons Heard.

The subcommittee has heard repre-
sentatives of all the local organizations
that made request for a hearing and
also all individuals who sought to be
heard. Yesterday afternoon among
those heard were Chaplin Brown and
Mrs. Truxton Beale, who asked for i'm
provements for the Reform School for
Girls. Others were William NICK. Clay

sociations, Charles s. Shreve of the
Mid-City Citizens Association and
Evan H. Tucker of the Northeast Citi-
zens' Association, all of whom desired
to be heard upon the estimates submit
ted to Congress for various improve
ments in the District.
Mr.. Clayton told the committee that
unless the lump sums appropriated for
the per diem employees of the District
were increased there was grave danger
that the per diem employees receiving
$1,000 a year or less would not share
in the increases in pay which 1t is
planned to give the District employees
under the theory of the Smoot amend
ment to the legislative appropriation.
There are many of these per diem en-
ployes, he told the, committee. and

Mr.. Clayton also advocated extension
of the District water supply to nearby
Maryland communities. for which these
communities would pay the District,
of course, on the ground that it would
help to safeguard the health of the
residents of the District. He urged.
too, that the District sewerage system
be extended to some of these COM

lions adopted by the Federation Of
Citizens Associations.

the Illinois legislature is facing fight

Four Laws in Tennessee.

Continuing, DR.. Wilson's statement
reads: The Tennessee legislature has
enacted four laws which. according to
the Nashville Tennesseean, give COM
plete and final victory to the prohibi-
tionists.' One law prohibits the So
called locker system: one prohibits
the receiving of orders for liquor to be
shipped in. another closes the whole
sale liquor houses which have been
permitted to distribute liquor to other
states; the nuisance law is perfected
and Bookkeeping is made felony on
second offense. A bone dry law pro-
hibiting the Importation of liquor for
any beverage purpose has passed first
reading in both houses and will almost
certainly become law.
THE Iowa legislature is proceeding
to the submission of a prohibition
amendment to reinforce its present
statutory law and it is very possible
that the amendment submitted will be

The governors of Mississippi and
Georgia are considering the advisable
fty of calling extra sessions of the leg
islatures of those states to pass laws
prohibiting liquor Importation.

Amazed at Own Power.

"Prohibitionists are amazed at the
sweeping power of their own move
ment." he stated. The drys are SEEM
ingly in control of the situation in
twenty-three of the thirty-three state
legislatures now in session. with extra
sessions to pass bone dry laws proba-
BILE in both Mississippi and Georgia.
The remarkable vote of 20 to % in
favor of state prohibition in the lower
branch of the Indiana state legisla-
ture and the absolutely unanimous vote
by, which the Wyoming legislature
submitted state prohibition is typical
of the situation throughout the coun-
try. Everywhere bone dry laws. anti
liquor advertising law and measures
for strict enforcement are going
through the legislative chambers as If
they were on wheels"

Story From Arkansas.

"All told the same story said Mr..
Shoemaker. Prohibition is making great
strides everywhere. One story came from
Arkansas, where the legislature this week
enacted a bone dry law. A visitor to the
state for the first time in number OF
years noticed evidences of prosperity on
all sides. He said he noticed that people
were dressed better than formerly and
that SO many persons, both white and
black owned automobiles.
What has wrought such a changer
he asked. and the response was: Enforce
ment of the prohibition law"
Mr.. Shoemaker referred to the passage
of the more rigid prohibition bill by the
West Virginia legislature and spoke of
the number of organizations political and
business. that have declared in favor of
no alcohol In Ohio. he said. dry con-
ference is scheduled for the coming April
for the purpose of putting persons OPP
posed to alcohol in possession of the
democratic partys machinery. and re-
ports have it that the novels attributed
to the speeches made by William Jen-
ningS Bryan in Columbus.
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, general
secretary of the board of temperance
prohibition and public morals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, has issued
statement bearing on dry legislation OF
legislatures now in session. -

ANT|-[|QUOR TALKS
IN PULP|TS TODAY
"Prohibition Sunday" in Ma
ton to Be Observed With .
Many Discourses Here.
DRY DISTRICT PREDICTED

Pastors of churches throughout the city
nromised a generous response to the ap-
neal for an observance to today as PRO
hibition Sunday" The discourses are to
deal with nationwide prohibition and
prohibition for the District OF Columbia
and the day is to be observed in several
sections Of the country. Members OF the
various branches of the Anti-Saioon
League in several sections Of the country
arranged to attend the church services
and in New York a state field day obser-
vance was provided for.
so far as the District of Columbia is
concerned said Albert Z. Shoe1lake!,
counsel for the District of Columbia Anti
Saloon League, to Star reporter, the
outlook for dry legislation Is particularly
bright 1t looks as If the bill would pass
not later than the middle OF the coming
month.
"I feel positive that the District COM
mittee of the House OF Representatives,
will report the bill frofm the committee
during the next few days." he added, and
that body is certain to pass it.
Not Concerned Over Error.
Mr.. Shoemaker said the league is per
tfectly willing to take the bill as 1t pass
led the Senate The fact that the year
1876 is mentioned III tne latter portion VI
the bill. he said. does not give the league
the slightest bit of concern. In the first
section of the bill it is set out as 1917, he
Gaid. and the league feels confident that
tjae courts will accept that as showing
fhe intent of the legislators.
Should the date be corrected and the
bill returned to the Senate" said counsel
for the league sit might involve a HARM
full delay during the last days Of the
session. 1 believe. however. even If the
correction is made there will be a dis
: the bill through before March AZ
While Mr. Shoemaker is devoting prac-
tically his entire time and attention to
the question of putting Washington in the
dry column. he also is displaying an
earnest interest in nationwide prohibi-
ton. Much of his time the past week was
spent at the Capitol. where. he stated. he
met and conversed with men from various
parts of the country.

The Soldier Woman Writes

mach OF a hardship to economic in
five DO you think 50. Edy dear?
Specially since we must have
these five things 10 feed our soldiers
in France; 10 feed the soldiers OF
our allies. to insure the liberty OF
the world.
The new Home Card" tells the
whole story in it's first paragraph
which says.
"Our problem is 20 feed our allies
this winter by sending them as
much food as We can of the most
concentrated nutritive value in the
least shipping space. These foods
are wheat. beef. pork. dairy pro-
ducts and sugar" The food admin
istration makes it clear at once that
this is to be accomplished not by
boarding or by skimping but by
substituting food products that can
not be sent 20 the soldiers in the
trenches for those that can be sent.
We are not asked 20 limit ourselves
in any way that will affect health.
Neither are we asked TO greatly
change orr food habits.
Referring to our problem of feed
ing our own soldiers and our allies

says:
Our solution is 10 eat less of
these (wheat. beef, pork, dairy pro-
ducts and sugar. and more Of other
foods OF which we have an abund-
ance and TO waste less of all foods"
The schedule for doing this brings
no hardship 20 any one. To begin
with the wheat We must send
more wheat to our allies because
England. France. Italy and Bel

peace time, forty percent OF their
breadstuffs. But now with their re
duction in harvest they must import
sixty percent We must increase
our normal export surplus OF S.
600, 900 bushels to 100000. 600
bushels" The food administration
goes on to remind us that il can be
done in but one way-by economic
ing and substituting.
The plan for this is to have one
wheatless meal a day; 10 use corn.
oats, rye. barley. or mixed cereal
rolls. mullins, and bread in place of
white bread, certainly for one meal
and. il possible. for two. We are
asked TO eat less pastry. In the
case Of ordering white bread from

Why is Monday Still Wash Day in the Average Home?

Did you ever climb-by elevator,
of course, the climb" being a mere
figure Of speech--up into the tower
of a high building in any large city
say the Metropolitan tower in
New York, for e,Iample-on a Mon
day? If so, did you not remark
that Monday was wash day in New
York still, just as in the tiniest old
village in Maine. or in any other
place where the inhabitants hold
more or less firmly TO old ira
ditions?
Why is Monday wash day? OF
course. not every family has its
washing done on that day, but
enough still cling to the old fashion
to make the exceptions prove the
rule. as we say. Who first set the
fashion of gathering the used
household and individual linen to-
gether on Monday morning and
cleansing it? And why2 Perhaps
some early peoples. after six days
of labor and a seventh devoted 70
rest, decided TO begin the next
week-or whatever they first called
such a division OF timely clean
y
beginning with clothes and such
! things. The house, probably, was
still quite clean, having been made
as immaculate as possible for sun
day. And the clothes worn ard
household linen in use was prob
ably also clean. but there was the
accumulation OF such things used
throughout the week before and
discarded when Sunday came
around. which, of course. must be
refreshed and prepared for further
use. So, probably. the Monday
washing habit just came into being
naturally. somewhat like the old
| fashioned Saturday night bath.
which was SO important a function
before the days of modern plumb
, ing and bathing facilities. But
there is, of course, no reason why
washing should not be done on any
| day, according to the convenience
! Of the individual housekeeper.
Washing, at least in the city and
| town where there are plenty of
! modern conveniences, is quite a diff
ferent thing today than it was long
ago, when the people took their
clothes down into the brooks and
| streams and washed them in the
running water. treading them up
and down with their feet or using
necessary friction. To be sure
/ peasants of France and other Euro
] pean countries still employ that
