CAPITOL TO CLEAN White
WELCOME TO CONGRESS

Glistening with new paint. splck-
and-span Capitol throughout will wei
come members of Congress when the
second session of the Sixty-fifth Con-
gress opens Monday. December 3.
During the recess an army of paint
ers under the direction of Elliott
Woods, superintendent of the Capitol
building and grounds, has been az
work on the corridors. the Senate ana
House chambers and the committee
rooms.
Barrels and barrels of paint have
been used to bring about the reJuVe-
mated air. of the huge building. Not
for five or six years has there been
such thorough cleaning.
During the last session the walls OF
the corridors and in some of the rooms
were getting smudgy; in fact. clean
ing was somewhat overdue. The job is
being thoroughly done, and the quanti-
ties of white paint and paints of light
tints have made great Improvement
in the appearance of the building.
In the Senate chamber and in many
of the committee rooms new carpets
have been laid. The same is true on
the House side of the Capitol. Realiz-
ing that Congress probably will be in
session for many months when it meets.
Supt. Woods has seized the opportunity
to get as much work done IS possible
during the recess.

CITIZENS APPEAL
FOR FOOD SAVING
Not All Pleas for Conservation
Come From Officials-Here
Are Some.

Not all the appeals for food conser-
walton come from official sources in
Washington, and officials of the United
States Food Administrative nhave ex-
pressed qualification that general con-
servation propaganda has been spread
throughout the District by patriotic
men and women.
Supplementing the bulletins issued by
the national administration and the APP
peals set forth by the District organt-
zation. papers. poety and epigrams on
the food situation are being dissent
mated in clubs. social and community
meetings and through the medium OF
the schools.
The issue of food saving in Washing
ton has been put up squarely to house
wives in an article prepared by Mrs
Hettie B. Goldrick ofS401 Lowell street.
Here are some suggestions offered by
Mrs Goidrick, which have received Ine
commendation of food administration
officials:
Eat in Business Way.
To buy and apportion food and to
properly cook it is no longer a netty
task to be done and got over vita as
soon as possible, but real business
painstaking care. Heretofore kitchen
work. on account of its prosaic charac-
ter, has been done more or less per-
functorily, the sole guiding purpose of
the cooks endeavors being her family's
welfare That was a good and suffi-
cient reason once upon a time. But
war has RACED all barriers. Even the
kitchen walls have fallen. Today the
housewife, looking from her special
precinct, views the table of the world
instead of only her own. Her own chill
dren must not want, certainly. but
neither must her country's soldiers who
guard its gates. There must be full
loaf for her own board. but what about
the empty plates in Belgium, the lesser
supplies in England, the shorter ra-
lions in France and future stores in
our own United States?
Excessive meat eating is an intem-
perate habit, both financially and phys
ica1ly. at all times, but now it is almost
reasonable Our hogs and cattle are
decreasing, and their conservation is
imperative The strength and success
of our soldiers, both our own and those
of our allies depend on their food. Meat
they must have"

Thought for School Children.

+ That food conservation is a serious
thought for school children is shown
by papers and Rotations prepared on
the problem Of maintaining a well fed
army at the front and satisfied citi-
zenry at home. This sample from
eleven-year-old Proctor Given of the
Cook School shows how heavily the
children:
There are many reasons why our
allies are in need of food. Our country
Is like large granary because 1t holds
such riches in grain. This country
should give freely to the allies.
Even children can help win the war.
Doing without some luxury or toy may
be sacrifice but the war cannot be
won without sacrifices.
Use any substitute for sugar and
eat less wheat bread. This is only one
Of the hundreds of ways to help the
government win the war"
Poetry Plays Its Part.
Poetry has done its part in arousing
interest and cooperation in the food
saving campaign. The following verse
Is by Mrs. NJ G. Ransome:
BREAD PLATE
Please pat your loaf upon this board
And as mister counts his board.
Count every slice you cut with care,
And have each slice quite thin and spare.
See that each bite you take is small,
And do not take some bites at all
Each crumb that falls be sure you take
And save It up for Belgium's sake.
~ eat little you can,
Economist and Hooyerize,
Esrhew sli candies. cakes and pies,
And do your bit like a soldier man.

WHITE !! S0 I: !!
BY PAUL PURM AM.

With October and the world series
less than two months away, the two
American league leaders have settled
down for the drive down the home
stretch
The outcome depends upon the club
with the stamina to keep in the Cruel
ing race, the club which will win
games in the pinches
Only two games ahead, the White
SoX must play much better ball at
home than they have on the road and
must at least break even on their next
two road trips to hold their advan-
tage.
Two games in August is not much
Of lead with tenacious club like
the led Sox in runner-up position.
The schedules are equally hard.
Boston has a few more games to play
away from home than Chicago and
five or six more postponed games, CIV
ing Chicago a slight advantage in
this respect.
Each club must still meet every
other club twice, once at home and
once abroad.
1t is not unlikely the pennant will
be decided in the two series between
these clubs at Chicago and. Boston.
If Chicago can take four of these
six games and hold her own with the
other clubs the Giants and White
Sox will figure in the first intersec-
tiOnal world series since 1909. If not,
the east is again likely to hold its
monopoly on the annual classic.
One OF the significant things to con-
slider when the possibilities of the two
clubs are being measured is their
work against each other in recent
clashes.
It has been matter Of history that
the RED Sox can come through in
pinch. This also seems to be true Of
Chicago this Year, In the last clash
of the clubs att Chicago the White
Sox won three, lost one and tied one.
At the last series at Rcston, after
the Red Sox had won two games the
