FAMOUS RIDE REVISED.
Poet Gives Modern Adaptation to a
Historic Ride.

The traffic in booze across the Ida :
ho- Montana line has inspired local
bard whose identity Is unknown in the
production of the following jingle
Listen, my children, and you shall
hear,
How the bootlegger carried the whis-
ky and beer.
He left from Saltese on Saturday
night.
And arrived in Idaho just before
light,
And as he turned into the auto she'd
There was scarcely soul that was
out of bed
AS soon as the news was whispered
around.
The people got up in the little old
town,
And as the church bells rang that
Sabbath morning,
And each one went out for his morn
ning's morning"
The password went from mouth to
mouth;
This is the signal to cure the drouth
One rap for whisky two for beer,
At the auto shed close by in the rear"

Mrs. Story, Surprised at Activity Of
Pacifists, Favors Petition.

Petitions from a large proportion
of the $4,000 members Of the Daugh-
tiers OF the American Revolution may
be expected to pour in upon Congress
this week, If an appeal by Mrs. VIII
liam Cumming Story, president OF the
organization, for the support of pa
trIotism and preparedness, is answer
ed. Mrs. Story has issued a state
ment decrying the efforts of pacifists
to divert the attention of the country
from its duty of preparedness and
asking that all daughters stand for
patriotic steps to uphold the honor of
the nation.
Mrs. Story expressed herself as sur
prised at the marked activity in the
Capital Of the so-called peace organi-
cations. She concluded that as the
delegates OF $4,000 members of the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
tion have pledged themselves to ma
tiohal preparedness. Immediate steps
ought 10 be taken to counteract any
thing that might be attempted in the
other direction by persons or organi-
cations opposed to war.

ASK NEW BUILDING
Quarters Constructed for lnte-

cupied by Militant Stats.

War and navy officials today advo-
Gated some plan by which the two
departments might use offices In the
new Interior building until other ar.
rangements for quarters could be
made.
Immediately following the expected
declaration OF war, the War and Navy
Departments, Will need greatly en-.
larged clerical forces. Navy officials
pointed out that the British admiralty
tripled Its force when Great Britain
went to war and her first war move
was to rent two hotels to house addi-
tional clerks and officers
Congestion on the War Department
side. when plans are launched to raise
an army OF from ,000 900 to 3, 900, 900,
will be as great or greater than con-
gestion in the navy quarters.
Every additional foot Of space in
the State, War and Navy building is
now utilized by the three depart
ments. Expansion OF the army and
navy personnels has crowded the
State Department into smaller quar-
ters. Desks in CORRIDORS alcoves, and
wardrobes have only partially serv-
ed to make the building adequate.
A navy annex and War Depart
ment annex In the Mills building and
the Lemon building are crowded.
The new Interior Department build
ing-the largest office building in the
world-will be ready for occupancy
soon. but owing to lack. of Congress
sional appropriation, Secretary Lane
will not be able to move until the
beginning Of the new fiscal year.
July 1.
Secretaries Baker and Daniels. may
be able to arrange with Secretary
Lane for temporary use of the Inter-
Tor building, since they are prepared
TO show their need of the building 10
greater than that OF the interior De-
partment.
