BY BILL PRICE.

The White House today had not
given any consideration to the
Thomas resolution passed by the SEN
ate asking President Wilson to re-
move from Washington all Govern
mental agencies not absolutely neces-
sary to remain here, to relieve the
congestion of humanity in the Dis
trict.
II the President has any views on
the subject they have not been made
known. 1t was regarded today as
probable that the House will ascer-
tain the Presidents views before act
ing on the Tomas resolution.
Among executive heads the opinion
today was that the resolution is
simply a waste of legislative effort,
for the good reason that Cabinet and
other executive heads could no doubt
do this now il they deemed it ad-
visable, but unwise and impracticable
features of the idea prevent much
consideration OF the subject, certainly
in the long-established departments.
Would Need Committee.
II the resolution should pass the
House also, and the President should
regard it seriously. he would have to
call on all Cabinet officers and heads
OF independent establishments and
bureaus for reports as to the prac-
tIcability of the suggestion as to any
portion of their respective agencies,
and in addition appoint a committee
o. body Of officials to take charge OF
the matter for him.

Inspiring music, Impressive ad-
dresses, feiicitous messages from a
sister republic, and a profusion Of
floral offerings were woven yesterday
into an elaborate program comment
oratIve of the joint anniversary OF
the birth of the Marquis de Lafayette
and the battle of the Marine.
President Wilson was the guest OF
honor at the ceremonies at Lafayette
monument. Several thousand people
gathered to hear the addresses. which
included short talks by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels. and Count de
Chambrun, counselor OF the French
embassy and neutrality-suspicious. OF

from President Poincare Of France
and Marshal Joffre were read by VIII

One OF the most beautiful flora
tributes was a magnificent wreath,

composed of laurel and American
Beauty roses, and was the only in

the memorial exercises.
Sent as a testimonial of regard

the wreath bore the card with fol-
lowing inscription.

eral decentralization not worth II all,
when Congress, IL willing to act
promptly, could continue to provide
the money for additional buildings
here for work and home life.
what Congress Can 10.
Besides prompt action for new Of
fees and dormitories. there are many
other things Congress can do to re-
lieve congestion here, and executive
heads could also give much aid.
The Civil Service Commission. for
instance. has urged Congress to re-
move the inhibition against appoint
ing more than two Government work
ers OF one family living under one
roof in the District. The commits
sion will again urge the temporary
removal of this ban. This inhibition
was made by Congress to guard
against too many District, Maryland
and Virginia people getting into the
civil service. Congress- wanted to
keep plenty OF jobs for the folks back
in the States. To this law Is added
that of q quota of employees for each
State, so that nearby people might
not get more than their share OF civil
service places.
That was in pre-war days and was
justified. Such restrictions are not
Justified now. The Civil Service Com
mission knows of hundreds OF good
clerks II could get in and near Wash
ington but for the two-to-the-roof
theory. II three women OF one fam
lily want to 20 into the Government
service now one OF them must go
away from home and rent q room

in her own home. Families do not
wish to do. this. Hundreds of good
clerks with homes could be obtain

Civil Service Laws.
There are other civil service laws
and regulations that diminish the
Governments opportunities to get
competent help in and near Wash
ington.
Utilization OF the service Of thou
sands of clerks now on the pay rolls
would cut down the number OF new
people being brought In here. 1t Is
well known that in many newly Gre
ated branches OF the Government
clerks and employees are falling over
each other, while in many OF the
divisions old clerks
are being worked until they are
breaking down at their desks. Good
stenographers brought here complain
that there are times when they are
not called upon to take more than

assigned to minor duties that could |
be done by any person.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Dollar Chasers.

Granville took them to its bosom with haste and earnestness that made Hazel catch her breath. Tact fully none so much as mentioned An drew Bush, nor the five-thousand-dollar legacy-the disposition of which sum still perplexed that defunct gentle mans executors. And once more in genial atmosphere Hazel concluded to let sleeping dogs lie. She learned tune loomed big, had grown by some mysterious process of Granville tattle, until 1t had reachel the charmed six figures of convention.
 There had been changes. Jack Bar row had consoled himself with bride. Moreover, he was making good, in the popular phrase, at the real-estate game. The Marshes, as she had pre- viously known them, had been totter- ing on the edge of shabby gentility. But they had come into money. And as Bill slangily put it, they were using their pile to cut lot of social ice. Kitty Brooks husband was now the head of the biggest advertising agency in Granville. Hazel was glad of that mild success.
 She was inordinately proud of Bill, when she compared him with the aver age Granville male-yet she found her self wishing he would adopt a little more readily the Granville viewpoint. He fell short of 1t, or went beyond 1t, she could not be sure which she had an uneasy feeling sometimes that he looked upon Granville doings and Granville folk with amused tolerance, not unmixed with contempt. But he attracted attention. Whenever he was minded to talk he found ready lis- teners.
 Once or twice she conjured up a vision of his getting into some busi- ness there, and utterly foregoing the North-which for her was already be- ginning to take on the aspect of a bleak and cheerless region where there was none of the things which daily whetted her appetite for luxury, noth- ing but hardships innumerable-and gold. The gold had been their re- ward-a reward we'll earned, she thought. Still-they had been wonder fully happy there at the Pine river cabin. she remembered.
 They came home from a theater party late one night. Hazel kicked off her slippers, and gratefully toasted her

"Elxind Elshn Iorpedo.

Aerial torpedoes-the bane of Ger man submarine crews and flrst-line trenches-have been called flying fish," because their tapering cylindri-' cal bodies and huge air-flns suggest the tropic sea creatures. The torpe- does are held upright in the air and given a diving velocity by the air re- sistance which strikes the fins, spin,- ming them round and round. Con- trary to popular impressions, certain forms of air resistance speed up rather than retard falling objects. Not only the aerial torpedoes, but all air plane bombs and darts, are now groov- ed or filmed to whirl in fal- ing. The German Zeppelin bombs are similarly constructed.

"Wagstaff, mine is," Bill completed the informal introduction.
 'I am from Bavaria" Lauer told him. "Vill you smoke? I light mine bibe-mit your vife's permission.
 "Yes," he continued, stuffing the bowl of his pipe with a stubby fore finger, 'I am from Bavaria. Dere l vass upon farm brought oop. serf in der army my dime. Den Amerigo.

 Beside Hazel, Lauer's wife absent ly caressed the blond head of her four-year-old daughter.
 'No, don't think I'll ever get lone some," she said. I'm too glad to be here. And I've got lots of work and my babies.

 Hazel had a momentary vision of un. related hardships by the way, and she wondered how the man could laugh and his wife smile over 1t. Two thou. sand miles in wagon!

She wondered briefly if her own viewpoint were pos sibly askew. She knew that she coul( not face such prospect except in ut ter rebellion. Not now. The bleak peaks of the Klappan rose up before her minds eye, the picture of Ave horses dead In the snow, the wolves that snapped and snarled over their bones. She shuddered. She was still pondering this when she and Bill dis mounted at home.
