situated in Potomac Park the low
roofs would make the top floors ex-
ceedingly warm in summer.
As against this suggestion is the
argument of officials that Potomac
Park is a delightful recreation ground,
affording the clerks opportunity for
outdoor pleasures, but that the most
important thing is that ii is within
walking distance of Government de-
partments that will give employment.
The street car lines are already con-
gested to the limit, and the placing
of the barracks away from the center
of the city would mean 10000 more
people to haul to work inside of

With the election OF Congressman
Lenroot. Republican, in Wisconsin. to
succeed the late Senator Husting,
Democrat, the Republicans have
gained one seat in the upper house
and the Senate membership Is filled
again.
The Senate stands now: Democrats.
So: Republicans. A..
This leaves the Democrats with q
plurality OF eight seats.
The division between the Senators
on party lines Is close enough SO that
FIVE Senators hold the balance Of
power.
The Wisconsin result means that
the struggle this year over control of
the Senate will be intensified and
that II will be close and doubtful.

She Was a Fighter.

Everyone, knew that Lieutenant
Thorleigh and his pretty young wife
had failed to agree during the few
years of married life, but no one quite
liked to ask him where she was living
during his last months of training in
this country. SO when an innocent
newcomer inquired polnt-blank where
she was. there was rather intense
moment before he said, calmly:
my wife Is In France"
"What Is she doing?" was demanded
further.
Fighting" he answered calmly.
"Fightingp' everyone exclaimed.
"Well," he replied, perhaps she
isn't actually fighting, but I'm sure
she's quarreling."-Harper's Magazine.
