S FLOSSIE SMITH
q wonder il, I have told you, Mar
gle, that Washington is the city Of
castles. In this regard its hotels are a
good illustration. The Shoreham, a
small hotel only about three blocks
from the white house, is the hotel of
the administration. Here can be seen
almost every day at luncheon the
members of the cabinet, the secTe-
tary to the president and other men
connected with the administration
who are known to be particularly his
friends.
It was here that Congressman
Smith had domiciled his frivolous lit
tie wife, Florence, who was always
called Flossie by her intimates.
THE name was perfectly express
sive of the woman, and Alma told me
a story before I met Mrs. Smith
which illustrated her point. It con-
cerned the assistant librarian at the
Congressional library
"The assistant was a bachelor and
has on this account greatly worried
one Of his sisters, who thought every
man should make at least one good
woman unhappy by marrying her.
"a girl named FlOssie seemed much
impressed by the librarian, and his
sister said to him: Why don't you
marry that little girl who seems to
be so much in love with you, broth
er mine?'
You surely don't want me to
marry that girl, sister? She is Flos-
sic by name and very Flossie by ma
turen
" FIossie! Flossie! What on earth
do you mean by fossie by naturep
Why, my dear sister, a girl who
is Flossie by nature is one who would
not wear a porous plaster without
threading baby ribbon through the
holes

CONFESSIONS
PAULA DESCRIBE
Shall I begin today, Mr.. Smith,
was the question I-put to Congress-
man Smith as 1 walked into his Of
fee the next morning about 9
o'clock" said Paula to me, cOntinu-
ing her story.
Congressman Smith looked up
quickly and said: Begin whenever
you like He said it with a kind of
quizzical smile that told me he was
as much in the air as l was.
What shall I do?'
I'm sure l don't know
Then we both laughed, for we
knew nothing about the work in
hand.
I'll tell you what you do. Go up
to the ShOreham and see Flossie. She
has a lot of ideas about Washington,
and at the present moment 1 haven't
an idea about anything, and my con-
stitUents are bOmbarding me with
commands, adjudicatiOns, cOmpli-
ments and damnings to beat the
band
Looking at young Congressman
Smith, Margie, I could see that while
he was a man of splendid mind and
presumably fine ideals, yet just now
he was so consumed with the excite
ment and self-satisfaction over his
job that he could think Of nothing
else.
III confess that I did not want
to go to work very badly that day.
for Alma had had word from Tom
Perry that morning that Jeff Perry
green was in town and had brought
his car with him.
Some class to Jefy, isn't it?'
said Alma.
There were five days before con-
gress opened and Mr.. Smiths prede-
cessOr had not taken all his para
phernaIa out of his Office yet. got

Defense Council, Shipping
Board, Wooden Ships Also
Peeve Upper House.
BIZ ASSOCIATED pRnsR

Washington, May 16-In beginning
consideration of the $780, 900, 900
war budget the senate devoted its
entire session TO a sweeping criticism
of the executive branch of the gov
eminent, partly behind closed doors
and after the doors were opened. The
council of national defense is accus-
ed of usurpation of authority. The
shipping board is assailed for alleged
interference with private shipbuild-
ers,. and for its wooden ship pro-
gram. President Wilson was attack
ed for an alleged lack of cooperation
and consultation with congress.
Seldom has the senate been the
scene of such vehement attacks which
continued for five hours. Democratic
senator's, it was said, after the doors
opened, began the discussion by crit
icising certain acts of the advisory
board of the council. Senator Reed
was said to have been particularly
vehement. Lewis, of Illinois, vigor-
ously condemned certain activities OF
3+ta board.
Lodge, Mcclellan, Falls and Weeks
were among others criticising. The
upshot of the entire discussion was
the adoption of an amendment by
Sterling, of South Dakota, that pow
ers of the council of national defense
shall not be considered enlarged be-
cause of war conditions.

RULE
IRELAND
Lloyd George Announces
That Government Will
Extend 1t Immediately.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, May 16.-Premier Lloyd
George, in a letter to John Redmond,
said the government is prepared to
introduce a bill providing for the
immediate application of home rule
to Ireland except the six Ulster coun-
ties. 1t would also create a council
of Ireland, composed of members of
parliament from the excluded area
and an equal number of members
of the Irish parliament. The coun-
Gil, by a majority vote of both dele
cations, will be empowered to pass
much legislation affecting all of Ire
land.
1t is proposed the council would
have the power to recommend to the
crown an extension to excluded area
from any act of the proposed Irish
parliament. They also are to agree
to include the whole of Ireland in
the home rule, subject to assent of
the majority of the voters of the
excluded area. The British parlia-
ment, in case the council has not al
ready extended home rule to all Ire
land at the end of five years, would
reconsider said exclusion.
The premier asked Redmond to ex-
press his views before Monday.
The Irish unionists suggested as an
alternative that Irishmen OF all par
ties convene to arrange a scheme for
Irish self government.

OFFICER ROCKIES At
MCPHERSON HARD AT IT
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Atlanta, Ga, May 16.-Twenty-f five
hundred prospective officers for the
first army of half a million men to
be raised under selective CONSUMPTION
awoke with the bugle at $50 today to
start their first day of regular train
ing. They already have been pro-
vided with uniforms, army rifles and
equipment, and all have tender spots
on their arms from three separate in
EQUATIONS. A red, white and blue hat
cord distinguishes them from enlist
ed men at the training camp at Fort
Mcpherson, near here.
The program for three months in
tensive training by which candidates
from Alabama, Georgia and Florida
will be fitted to lead an army against
the Hindenburg line, calls for drills
morning and afternoon with long
hikes through the country later. The
work at first will be comparatively
light. Two hours each night will be
devoted to study. The camp is under
command of Colonel Charles r.

\. B. COOK IS
LAID TO REST.
Covered With Confederate
Flag Veteran Was Car
ried to Last Bivouac.

In the presence of a large con
course of friends, remains of the late
N. B. Cook, who expired early Tues
day morning, were laid to rest in st.
Johns cemetery, yesterday afternoon
and the floral offerings sent to
the home and also to the grave by
loving friends, were of the very rich
est Absorbent.
The funeral services, conducted BY
Rev. d. P. Slaughter, of the First
Methodist Church, took place at the
saddened home, corner of Gadsden and
AlcaniZ streets, at o'clock. Long
before that hour, however, scores OF
friends gathered at the home and paiC
their last sad respects.
The memory of the man was re
spected by people of all classes anC
all ages. Aged veterans, many ii
the gray of the Confederacy, stood
at attention when the casket, covered
with the flag loved and honored by
the deceased, was borne from thu
/ residence to the waiting funeral car
Previous to this, however, a score 0!
these veteranga come daily associate.
with the man whonn they gathered
to honor, passed the open casket il
the front room, and they wept. Gath
cred on the front porch, while await
ing the arrival of the hour when tn,
| funeral services were to be started
their conversation drifted to Incl
dents in the life of the comrade wht
had just answered the last roll call
And they loved him for the man h
was, and for the honorable life he hat
| lived in their midst.
Forming a sort of PICTURESQUE
background, were scores of schoo
children, some in charge of teachers
but other there alone, or in groups
waiting without the home because 0
y the crowd inside, to thus silently pa
tribute to Nathan Burrell Cook. Eve
the neighborhood children begge
| permission to see the features of tn
man they had grown to love becaus
of his little kindnesses to them. No
only did the older veterans, the moth
ers, fathers and little ones rende
this tribute, but many decrepit col
ored people asked permission to vie1
the features of the man they ha
long known and respected, for
never forgot even the faithful oil
slaves of fifty years ago.
