Camp in Green Park.

After the review the Americans
camped temporarily in Green Park at
the rear of the palace. There they
rested and had lunch. Green Park is
the center of the fashionable section.
overlooked by Buckingham Palace on
one side and the Piccadilly clubs and
6ucal residences on the other sides.
Hundreds of tables with white cloths
were spread and hundreds of mattresses
attended the soldiers, whose arms were
stacked about the tables While they
ate thousands of persons gazed on the
troops through the iron ratings around
: the park, and the windows of all the
clubs and the residences were filled
with spectators Whenever English
girls could get near enough to the SOL
diers they pleaded for buttons reg
mental badges as souvenirs. They got
many of them.
After luncheon the troops resumed
the march through the city, the earlier
scenes being repeated. Later they de-
parted from Waterloo station.
The allied soldiers in the crowds. in
common with other spectators com
mented on the youthfulness soldierly
bearing and snappiness of the Ameri-
cans. Regrets were heard on all sides
that they were not permitted to have
leave while in London so that each ma
personally might have a warm well
come.
Just before the Americans left Lon
don taxicabs filled with old men fell in
behind the procession. They bore big
banners inscribed London division. L.

stood up in the cabs and cheered, the

Greeted "Great New Ally"

The Westminster Gazette observes:
Not since the war broke out have
there been such manifestations of en-
thusiasn. such density of crowds. The
professions brought home wildly to
London the fact that we have a great
new ally, and London celebrated that
recognition with a demonstration of
unusually vivacious responsiveness.
The Pail Mall Gazette says the pro-
cession lis a visible sign that the old
world and the new one. that the
civilization of the west knows no geo.
graphical barriers. that henceforth all
that touches our liberties will be mat
ter of concern for US ALL"
Britishers are not demonstrative and
the movements of their own and even
colonial troops through London durin 6
the war have not aroused the people,
but they let themselves go yesterday
and. as the editor of the Spectator pre-
dIcted. their cheers almost made the
buildings rock. American flags were
displayed everywhere on government
offices. business houses and residences
and many people wore American colors.

When the troops swung into White

was stopped. Windows and roofs were
crowded. Persons in the throngs of

The Americans for the most part
kept their eyes to the front. Only
occasionally did a man here or there
look to the right or left. grinning
broadly or wiggling a hand in such
a way that the officers could not see

The greatest crowd gathered in front
of Buckingham Palace. The people
completely filled the broad plaza and

URGES v. NIX. CLAYTON
.ASD. c. COMMISSIONER
Roy C. Claflin Makes Recommends
ton on Behalf of the District
Delegates Association.

A suggestion that the successor to
Commissioner Newman should be a man
conversant with public utilities was made
to the President today by Roy c. Claf1in,
president of the District Delegates AS
ISOLATION. Mr.. Clafin presented at the
White House a letter suggesting Will
liam Nick. Clayton as a man with thor
ough knowledge of public utility prob
lens.
The letter reads:
Permit me to urge upon you the de-
STABILITY of the appointment by the
President to succeed Hon. Oliver 7. New
man as Commissioner of the District of
Columbia. some man who has a thorough
knowledge of public utilities. The duties
as a member of the public utilities COM
mission being quite important as tho
usual duties of Commissioner, man
should be selected who possesses these
dual qualifications. Many very important
questions, as you know. are ow in proc
ess of solution by the public utilities
commission. and too great care cannot be
exercised in selecting a man thoroughly
informed on these problems
IN view of the fact that Washington
has no voice in the selection of its rulers.
as do all other American cities. it is but
fair that such a man should be selected
as Commissioner who could be elected
by the people if we did have the vote:
the appontee should be we'll known to
the local citizens and have their confidence:
his ability to handle public utility ques-
tons and civic problems in general should
be well established: he should be man
whose record of civic work in and for the
District of Columbia entities him to the
honor of the appointment
a man who admirably fits into all
these qualifications. l suggest, is Mr..
William Mex. Clayton. I am certain
that the people of the District will hail
with satisfaction the appointment of
Mr. Clayton. His record already proves
that he would make an able Commits
sloner and well qualified public util-
lty administrator. and I earnestly re-
quest that Mr.. Clayton's qualifications

STARS BY DAYLIGHT.
Why We Cannot See Them, Despite
Some Old ldeas

1t Is curious how the popular mimi
persists In clinging to cestain ideas
which have no foundation whatever in
fact. One of these Is the belief that
the stars are visible by daylight If
viewed from the bottom OF deep well.
a mine shaft or a tall chimney.
Way back In the time of Aristotle
this idea began TO gain currency. 1t
was vouched for not only by the great
Greek philosopher, but by many other
eminent scientists since his time who
never took the trouble to investigate
the matter and prove for themselves
that 1t was not so. Humboldt was one
Of the first scientific men to inquire
into the correctness of this idea. 1t in
terested him particularly because he
had spent a great deal of time In
mines himself. His own experience
furnished nothing whatever to confirm
the idea, and after questioning miners
In various parts Of the world he de.
clared himself unable to find the slight.
est evidence that the stars are ever
visible by daylight from the bottom of
wells or mine shafts.
The whole idea is just as mythical
as that Of the wonderful pot Of gold
that Is buried at the foot Of the rain
bow. The invisibility of the stars in
the daytime is due to the glare of
the atmosphere illuminated by the
suns rays. There is absolutely no rea-
son why being at the bottom Of the
well or down In a mine should dimin-
ish this glare enough to make the stars
visible to the human eye.
There Is a good deal Of difference, as
science has lately found out, In the
visibility of stars and planets when
viewed through a telescope by daylight.
This varies according to the color Of
the heavenly bodies. The red or yell
low stars are much more easily seen
than the white ones. Unless the tele-
scope is focused with the greatest &C.
curacy often an extremely bright star
will be absolutely lost against a day
light field.
As general thing the planets are
much less visible In daylight than
stars. The reason for this Is that the
telescope diminishes the brightness Of
the planets disk as well as of the sky
and therefore does not heighten the
contrast, as In the case Of the star.

DON'T BE PERSONAL.
The crudity and the Cruelty of Being
Plain Spoken.


Among the immediate members of
our families, our nearest and dearest,
there frequently prevails IA form of
affectionate personal service that is
irksome and trying, yet cannot be
avoided or rebuked without giving Of
Tense. There are mothers who harass
independent and sensible daughters
with silly little admonitions about
wearing rubbers and getting home ear
ly; who bemoan continually in public
their daughters prediction for tennis
and dislike for fine sewing; who new
err find it possible to understand why
their daughters have views or feelings
that differ from their own. says the
Woman's Home Companion And like
wise. we find daughters who adopt
the maternal attitude TO their mothers
and exercise censorship over their
clothes, occupations and recreations in
fashion truly exasperating. 1t makes
the onlooker want to shout violently
at these types, Let each other alone"
Even though these attentions are ac-
tuated by the fondest love they are
an infringement on individual rights
Mother should let daughter play tennis,
and daughter should not try to select
mothers hats. The result would be
great gain in family peace.
There ought to be a special chap
ter on Being rmpersonal" In every
book of etiquette, and. since books of
etiquette are usually consulted only
by those who may want to Know how
many cards to leave on twin sisters or
what is the time limit on dinner calls,
perhaps this special chapter ought to
be included in travel stories-yea,
even works OF fiction-so that every one
who reads may see it. 1t should con-
sist first of advice on how to be i'm
personal, with helpful hints. such as:
IF your friend looks tired don't tell her
so, but do something definite to help
her rest" Never condole with any
one on being either married or unmar-
ried. Both may be fortunate states"
Never criticise any piece Of clothing
worn by any one. not even awning
stripes on fat woman or an elbow
sleeve on skinny one" Never re-
mark on any family likeness. It's bad
enough to have it without being told
about it,"

PIN MONEY.
How . Quaint Explanation of II BE.
came Current

How . Quaint Explanation of II Be-
came Current.
The term pin money" dates back
to the seventeenth century. when the
modern pin was invented After that
time the maker was allowed to sell
them openly only on Jan. and 2. 50
that court ladies and fashionab BILE
danes alike were compelled to buy q
large quantity to last them over the
year. So extremely important was
this yearly purchase that husbands
gave their wives large sums Of money
for the pins. By and by pins became
cheaper and cheaper, and women spent
their allowance on other vanities, but
the term pin money" remained In use
for all spending" money.
The expression salt money" is an
other such. This dates very far back
when the Roman workers in the salt
mines were paid In salt. The salt they
got In return for their labors was
called in Latin "salarium," or salt al
lowance. The word salarium later on
was applied to the fees men got for odd
jobs. For instance, the Roman noble
would say. For patching my toga
will give the fellow a slight salarium-
a bit Of money to buy salt with" FL
nally salarium came to mean wages,
salary. what 1t does today. When we
say "a man Is not worth his SALT we
mean that he Is not worth his salary
or wages.

HOW
To Disinfect a Room After
Contagious Diseases

- ISINFECTION means destroy
ing Of germs that cause disease.
Many Of these germs live I'm
the human body and are given
OF with the secretions and discharges
Of the mouth, nose, ear. skin and other
organs.
II these germs are destroyed as they
have the body 1t win prevent TO large
extent the spread Of disease.
Disinfection can be accomplished by
heat and by chemical solutions.
The best disinfectant Is 1re. Cloths
used In wiping the nose, mouth and ear
of the sick should be burned. The next
best disinfection is boiling. Bedclothes
and linen, dishes, towels and other ar
ticles must be boiled for at least half
an hour after the water has come TO u
boiling point This viii destroy all
dangerous germs.
Chemical solutions are also useful
The two best are corrosive sublimate
and carbolic acid Both are very poi
sonous, however, and must be used
with care.
They should be made up as follows:
Corrosive sublimate, one dram tea
spoonfuD; permanganate Of potash, one
dram; water, one gallon. Be sure TO
label Poison"
Carbonc acid, seven ounces; water,
one gallon. Label Poison" also.
A solution made by dissolving eight
ounces Of chloride Of lime In one gallon
Of water Is useful, but must be freshly
prepared each time.
All body discharges may be placed in
one OF these solutions and allowed to
remain for half an hour. All solid par
ticles must be broken up.
The corrosive sublimate solution If
diluted one-half with water may be
used TO wash the hands after handling
case Of contagious disease.
Remember that not only the patient
but all articles coming In contact with
him, are. dangerous and should be dis
infected.
1t Is sometimes advisable to hang a
sheet moistened with corrosive subj
mate over the door of the room in
which the patient Is isolated.

How to Make q Polish For Automobiles
or Furniture


For furniture or automobile bodies
an excellent polish can be made by
thinning down boiled linseed oil with
turpentine. This should be applied
sparingly- TO the clean surface with a
cloth and should be rubbed briskly
with a soft dry cloth or cotton waste
II Is best not to use body polish on a
car until the gloss has become dull.
Another polish recommended by auto
mobile experts is made from one gallon
Of turpentine aod three and a half
ounces Of citronella oil, one pint Of
parafhn oil or light cylinder OIL and
one and half ounces Of oil Of cedar.
When the finish on a car has become
very dull the appearance can be great
ly improved by rubbing with mixture
Of cylinder oil and kerosene.

How to Rid Cats and Dogs Of che Pee,
Of EIeaa

Attention has been called to the fact
that care must be taken In using tar
camphor on dogs to rid them Of fleas,
not to let them lick their fur before
the tar camphor has been brushed OF.
Tar camphor never should be used on
cats. for they naturally lick their fur
to keep It smooth. and In this way the
eamphor will get into the alimentary
canal and poison the animal. A valu.
able cat treated with the camphor had
TO be killed to put It out Of its agony.
But in the case Of dogs this danger u
