SENATOR AND CoNGREssMAN

Lawson gave no names, but said he knew of a senator and a congressman who were supposed to have benefited by the leak and that he might know of others" but he would not mention them
 Then you decline because you do not wish to besmirch the names of these men?" asked Lenroot.
 Don't you think that you are thus besmirchng Congress generally?r
 q don't think after watching Con- gress for a lifetime that I could smirch 1t any more than I have, Lawson re- piled
 Could you smirch it further if you wanted to asked Lenroot.
 ''Weu I won't attempt to do it now, whether I can or not" Lawson answered hotIy. This committee is sitting merely to decide whether it should have an in- vestigation into recent events whereby thousands of people were robbed.N
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-01-09

Lenroot said that the committee also was investigating Lawson's charges that Congress was ''wallowing in the mire of stock gambling
 Yes and I've given you lot of in formation already, in my opinion, said Lawson q don't intend to disclose my hand in an investigation that goes no further than to decide whether there is to be an investigation, and thus let the criminals escape, or destroy their rec ords.''
 Before MT. Lawson's examination was finished, the committee adjourned the hearings until tomorrow and went into executive session to consider Representa- tive Chiperfeld's motion to cite Lawson for contempt. Action on the motion again was deferred.

(By Biddie Bye.):

Housewives who have never con-
sidered their income as a whole and
proportioned it carefully to the a
ious needs Of the family have now
more than personal economy to think
about-for planning household ex-
penditures is a patriotic service.
The business man who does no,
know the outgo of all departments
of his Household" is we'll on the way
to failure. al
A careful study has been made of
the budget for an income Of $1,000
a year which is representative of
! many American families. The usual
designation OF five individuals Is con-
| sidered to compose the family-hus-
band. wife and three children under
10 years.
OF the $500 income the, largest
amount is allowed for food, 80 per
cent; shelter gets 20 per cent: cloth
ing Is per cent; operating expenses,
such as heat, light, gas, telephone,
laundry. service, ETC., 10 per cent and
amusements, vacations, insurance,
sickness and all other expenses, 90
per cent.
The allowance for food is $3.50 a
year; $3.50 a month, less than $40
a week!
Having the monthly allowance be-

New Use. For Papers

A new use has been found for the
newspapers that are collecting in at
tics. cellars and out-of-the-way places
because Save the waste and win the
war" has become SO indelibly written
on many persons minds that even pa
pers are boarded. Mrs. Edward Gus
bee Of New York has invented a torch
for the use Of soldiers in trenches and
dug-outs, a torch so simple that any
child can make it. Mrs. Gushee and
a staff of girls ard boys are making
such torches by the hundreds and in
tend to send them in large quantities
to the front. :
To make one Of these torches, take
a newspaper and with q ruler tear 1t
into strips two columns wide. Place
six Of these strips, one on, top Of the
other-or tear six newspapers at once
If you find this easier-roll them Up
crossways. leaving a small hole
through the center; tie the roll with
cotton string; boil it in parGfn for
20 minutes, and let 1t cool.
This makes a candle which q be
lighted with a match and will burn
without smoke for three-quarters of
an hour. It gives better light than an
ordinary candle, quite enough light
for a soldier to read, write or sew by.
