READING WHILE 1T RAINS.

NOW the rain falls everywhere and every day,
= and it is time for fairy stories, grotcsque
imaginings, Rabelaisian high jinks, stormy fan
fares of laughter and outlaws at Creation itself
all executed by the orchestra of the Imagination in
the Auditorium of the Skull Dream with KEATS
SPENsER, RABEI-AIs, SHAKESPEARE and MARK
TWAIN
There is irreality, wondrous quality of
sweet forlOnncSS, about dark rainy days that lure
out of the psychic recesses of the brain all that
esoteric, venturcsome elfsh, witch-heartcd, an
tique, stuffed with myth and dream.
The Realists, the psychological surgeons, the
problem GOrgons of literature go hang on rainy
days The rain brings out rich rare colors in the
soul, and drives lis toward the radiance of I'M
conquered peaks.
There is an elusive StOwaway in the hull of the
planet-a fairy-witch; maybe SHELLEY S Witch Of
Atlas, or KEATS s -EndymiOn, or Titania herself
Patter! Patter! Patter! Hear it on the tin
roof! Sweeter than the voices of little children
a-Mayng is that rain that has the mesmeric power
of finging us back into the Wonderfully, with its
runes-and ruins-of memory and the whitened
light of poetic rapture.
Atmospheric diablerie! Glamour of rain! Nee
romancy Of sheeted water falls against the win
dow panes! Ho! TITANIA! HO! BOTToM! Ho!
PANTAGRUEL! Ho! ENDYMIoN and Lady UNA! HO!
FA1sTAFF and DoN QUIxoTE! Come to the wake
over the corpse of the Sun here in this magic wine
cellar of the spirit! Bring old TOBY BEECH with
you and his dam, the fair DULC1NEA! We arc Of
moonlight and rainlight.
The rainy stars like monstrous fleets, lie bottled
up in the ports of our brain. Weigh anchor for a
rout in cloudand, in rainland We arc the
drunken crews of the planet ships of space Rain is
the weather for Sailors! Fairies knights, toss
pots, and sweaty wenches, away into the Realms

BALLOON SERVICE IS
TO Be QUADRUPLED
Task Is to Put %, 900 Soldiers and
1900 Officers in France
Before Spring.

Quadrupling the balloon service in
order to put $4,000 soldiers and 1900
officers in France before the spring of
1919 is the task set for itself by the
balloon section of the air service of
the United States Army.
Voluntary transfers and enlistments
are being encouraged by special con-
cessions. 1t is announced. Applicants
in the District should apply at build
ing d, 9Th street and Missouri avenue.
Officers and men skilled in a hundred
professions and trades are needed.
Two hundred men on the ground to
keep two observers in the sky! But
they are all kept busy. Night and day
there must be a guard of sixty for the
balloon. Enemy airplanes and artil-
lery and the wind are the arch-ene-
mics of the balloon.
Great wind fences of cloth or screens
of brush are needed Tor protection
from the wind. Friendly cliffs or
woods and sometimes excavations
shelter it from observation and fire.
Heavy and complicated rigging can
at times be used to save the men from
acting as ballast.
There are many miles of telephone
wire to keep up. Gas must be manu-
featured or expanded from iron bot
pounds pressure. Maps. surveys and
photographs must be kept up-to date.
Freight must be hauled, and when
ever the balloon changes sector camp
must be moved; hence a large truck
train and skilled automobile men.
There is nothing a defeated army
breads worse than good balloon OBJ

Declares.
FORTY BILLIONS VOTED

/ The absolute necessity of establish
ing budget system of appropriating
ior the needs of the government, so
as to stop inefficiency. extravagance
and waste, was emphasized in the
Senate yesterday by Senator KENYON Of
Iowa. He has introduced a bill. nbw
on the Senate calendar, providing for
commission to work out a budget
system.
There is demand practically
everywhere but in Congress for a
change in the present metho4 of an
propriation,' said Senator KENYON.
Now of all times we should take
steps to formulate some method
whereby there may be economy in
appropriations and expenditures with
out lessening efficiency"
Forty Billions Appropriated.
Senator Kenyon pointed out that the
total appropriations for the second ses-
sion of the present Congress would
be around 4o,eoo,oOo.OOo for the fis-
cal year ended June 80, 1919.
1.-The results of this war will be
worth all that it will cost" said Sena-
tor Kenyon.
But it is folly in national life, as in
private life. to waste, and no one can
deny that there is tremendous waste
IN the way government finances are
handled. "-

such a system, and he quoted from a
