GALLNGER OPPOSES

The Senate has approved Senator
Kings amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill to eliminate the Ger
man language from the public schools
OF this city.
In passing the bill yesterday. the
Senate prevents the use of any monies
appropriated in the bill in teaching
the German language or buying Ger
man textbooks.
Surprising everyone. Senator CALM
ger, who recently offered a resolution
to inquire into the feasibility of
melting down the statue Of Frederick
the Great and using 1t for bullets,
rose and vigorously opposed the
King amendment.
This proposition" said Senator
Gallinger, docs not appeal to me.
We are going entirely too far in our
prejudices and desires to punish some
one. The German language is very
useful Just the other day was on
talking in German. wished that

Gnllinger's Demurrer.
'Just why we should, in a moment
OF hate" he continued, interfere
with the educational prospects Of
the country, cannot see. The Ger
mans teach English and French in
their schools. Why should we elimi-
nate the teaching Of German in ours ?"
Going further. Senator Gallinger in
timatad that We should. after the war.
forget to dislike the Germans and kill
the fatted> calf of forgiveness and
welcome them back to the fold of
civilization, as IL they had all been
naughty boys instead OF arch-crimi-
mails.
Senator Kenyon arose to his feet
and denounced Germany as a moral
leper and an outlaw. and argued that
it will be a long. long time before
civilization ever forgets the injuries
done II by the Germans. He predict
ed that Germany would feel the eff
fects Of her crimes for many years to
come after the war.
Nelson Also Objects.
Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota
who distinguished himself for his ac
tivities against the National German
American Alliance and did a great
deal toward accomplishing the dis
bandment of the organization. also
rose against Senator Kings amend
ment, and protested against what he
called rubbing It in" OIL the thou
sands of German-born and C ernian-
speaking soldiers now at the front or
in training.
Senator King replied that there were
also thousands or socalled German
Americans in uniform and out CT uni-
form who hated the kaiser and want
cd to get rid of the language which
is known to carry its '1:ultur" where
ever 1t is taught.
The kaiser and his military clique
came in for a good drubhing at the
hands of the Utah SCION. That he
silenced his critics was evidenced by
an overwhelming vote n favo;s of his
amendment. The opposition could
hardly be heard.

1t was learned after the Senate

One continues to be heavy. 1t may
be necessary next year to extend the

Sentiment in favor of extending

AONoA oBOoSBHNt
Three Million In Six Weeks.
The announcement of Gen. Crow
der that there would be 5000, 900
men under the fiag inside of six
weeks attracted much attention and
qualification at the Capitol. Vari-
Gus Senators have been pleading for
a big army. Senator Fall has put
in an amendment making it man
datory that thera be at least 3,000.-
900 men in the army. and Senator
Reed has a like amendment. Sena-
tor McCumber. of North Dakota,
wants to make 1t 5.0O0,0o The
Army Appropriation bill Is based on
an army of 100000.
Whether the army may be still fur
ther enlarged this year Is a subject Of
intense interest i'm Senatorial circles.
This. under present draft rules, would
necessitate a very large call in draft
class one. There have been state
rnents that nearly 100000 extra mn
would be called.
New Draft Suggested.
There Is also talk Of a new draft
registration in the winter. In order to
take in all men who have become u
years old since June of this year.
This. IL Is thought, would add more
than $4,000 men.
Troop movement to the other side
continues heavy, and the wastage as
q result OF battle must be made up.
The President is said to be in favor
Of enlargement of the enrolment,
while Secretary Baker has just de-
clared that no change In the draft
ages Is now under consideration.

FUN FOR WAR
WORKERSPLAN
OF COMMITTEE
Central Recreation Meeting
AT Wilson Normal
School.

After having held several prelim-
mary meetings, the Central Recrea-
ton Committee for Government En-
ployes was formally organized at a
meeting held at the Wilson Normal
School on Thursday night, under the
auspices OF the District branch of
the War Camp Community Service.
Since the war started, with its in
fluX of thousands of new clerks,
the municipal facilities have been
cut down on account of the ground
on which they were situated being
needed for building purposes.
These conditions have left WASH
ington with not only all of its for
mer government employees and others
having practically nc. Fairgrounds,
but the thousands who have come
here, and who are still coming, will
have to be taken care of in this
respect. and it is to assist these to
obtain recrea ton facilities that the
General Committee for Government
Employees has been organized.
The Officers.
At Thursdays meeting, the follow
ing officers were chosen: President,
Major George +. Ahern, Secretary of
the Army War College; vice president,
Captain William c. Deming, Surgeon
Generals office: secretary, Miss Maud
Miles. Ordnance Department; and
treasurer, Alonzo Tweedale, District
Auditor. In addition to these, a board
of governors composed of a represen-
tative of each government department
or office is to be chosen.
Chairman Louis ]. Leech with Miss
Thompson and Capt Deming, form the
tennis committee. The committee has
taken up with the Superintendent Of
the Soldiers Home the question OF
putting in grass courts in various
parts of the Home. and indications
are that this will be done.
The tennis committee has also taken
up the matter of courts with the su-
perintendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds with the result that ten dirt
and a number of grass courts are be.
ing planned for Rock Creek Park,
courts will be built in as many or tn;
local parks as possible. including Mer-
idian Hill where a number have been
definitely promised. and also in vari-

TODAYS BEAUTY HINT.

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently il IL is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use OF a really sood
shampoo. The easiest 10 use ana
quickest drying shampoo that We
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty OF the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful OF Canthrox.
which can be obtained from any
druggist. in a cup OF hot water.
This makes a full cup OF shampoo
liquid. enough so IL is eaty TO ap-
ply il TO all the hair instead Of
just TO the top OF the head. This.
when rubbed into the scalp and
onto every strand Of hair. chem
ically dissolves all impurities. It
is very soothing and cooling in !ts
action. as well as beneficial to
both scalp and hair. After rinsing
out the lather so created, you will
find the scalp is fresh. clean ana
free from dandruff, while the hstf

This is a most unfortunate gov
ernment OF the stars, according to
astrology, for Uranus, Mercury and
Mars are all in evil place.
During this sway 1t is wise to be
unusually painstaking and cautious
in all action, for the influences are
supposed to thwart endeavor and
to disappoint in all promising mat
ters.
Uranus gives credence to ma
licious tales, when in malefic as
pect. There 10 the forecast of sian
ders, libels and evil reports that
may be harmful, and warning is
given that they may be the weapons
Of the enemy.
Mercury is in place sinister for
writings of any sort and especially
threatening to the signing Of con-
tracts, leases and wills.
There may be unpleasant news
transmitted during this confgura-
ton to an unusual number of per-
sons.
Engineers have rather an unfor-
tunate leading during this config-
uration, but they have the augury
Of brilliant successes.
It is an unlucky rule for women
to fall in love, and the seers de-
clare that they are likely to be
extraordinarily susceptible during
wartime, especially the middle
aged.
Astrolegers foresee a new ma
tional pastime for women that su-
persedes knitting, which will cease
to be popular. owing to some ex-
igency of war.
Again new modes OF dress are
prognosticated and these will in
clude shoes and gloves Of unusual
material.
Many children will be born in the
early fall, it is prophesied, and
these will be unusually gifted and
talented.
Persons whose birthdate II Is may
have rather a trying year. They

I tell you, little book. I was glad
that Donna and Mollie and Mary
came over this afternoon. II they had
not come / think there would have
been an open quarrel between Barclay
sill and Jim. Jim could not have been
as busy a. he thought he would be.
for he came In very early and ! win
say this for Old Jim. he has tact
when he wants to have 1t. He did
not say anything about the party and
my abrupt departure. Insteads he be-
gan Immediately to talk to me about
the business.
Finally Richard wayerly III was
brought in.
Il is perfectly beautiful, little book.
TO see the way Jim loves that baby.
He seems perfectly happy when he
has him in his arms and he will sit
for minutes looking into the uncon-
scious face.
Today could see a mist IN his eyes
when the tiny mouth turned up at the
corner in perfect semblance to one Of
Dicks fascinating crooked smiles.
Look Margie," he said suddenly.
"could there be q better miniature Of
Dick?"
I suddenly put out my arms for the
baby, but when felt its tiny body
against my breast, felt all the more
bereft and lonely and ! burst into
sobs.
Jim stood looking at me for . mo-
ment and then. as could not wipe
away the tears that were running
down my cheeks. he gravely took his
handkerchief out Of his pocket and
wiped my face carefully as a mother
would dry the tears Of q child.
The action was as absurd as II was
kindly, and I laughed a little hysteri-
cally at the thought Of how the pic
ture would impress any Of our friends.
