As an example of the increase in
government employees since the begin
ming of the war. the large addition to

fore the war did not exist as a separate

Business is satisfactory in the fifth

Baltimore and Washington. The re-
port of the federal reserve agent at

full time and money is being spent

In the monthly bulletin of the federal
reserve board general business condi-
lions over the country are reported ac-
tive. Industries were declared to be
busy in every reserve district, but con-
stfuction work, building and engineer

spects has, perhaps, understood him
better than his own country. Forbes

seemed like playing two entirely differ

Cleopatra" in England and in America.
Certain it is that in the case of this
piece at least American audiences were
far more appreciative and more re-
sponsive and more quickly receptive
than the English ones. William Fa-
yersham produced Getting Married" in
New York last season against the ad-
vice of Shaw himself. who prophesied
that the comedy would run only few
weeks. with average business much less
than four figures performance. Get
ting Married" stayed in New York four
teen weeks to business averaging quite
in excess of the figure named by Shaw.

The commissioner of internal rev

that, until regular supply of over

Although the king is to tap fifty tons

not have to face an ordeal like one to
which his father. when Prince of Wales

faith in science?" asked the tutor of

the prince. Playfair washed the youth's
hand and wrist with ammonia. will

Using figures furnished by the Gen.

during the first nine months OF the
year one animal was killed for every
mile OF track on the road, Secretary

to the allies at this time is even more

refusing to permit American soldiers and

of bravery performed in the war
The league, in a statement just issued
expresses the belief that the government
SHOULD make known the names and the
deeds of the men cited for bravery by our
allies. AS history is but the shadow of
great men, so. too, patriotism is largely a
reflection from the deeds of brave men,

these men to give us the will to win"

eress grant special permission to the
