COMMITTEE WILL PASS
0ND. c. BILL TOMORROW

The District appropriation bill,
carrying authorization to meet the
obligations OF the District govern
,ment for the fiscal year beginning
July I next. is drafted and will be
passed upon at a meeting OF the full
appropriations committee of the
House tomorrow morning.
Chairman Sisson of the subcommit-
tee. which has held hearings during
the last two weeks, and which framed
the bill on the estimates presented
by the District Commissioners, said
today that he expects to report the
bill in the House on Monday.
Increases in salary for District en-
p1oyes and for the thousands of other
government workers in the District
will be taken care Of under a separate
resolution soon to be presented. on
which the various committees with
which appropriations originate will.
be agreed. Because new legislation
could not originate in an appropria-
ton bill, any effort to increase sal
aries would be subject to a point of
order and would entail needless de-
bate in the House. For this reason
1t has been decided that all appropria-
ton committees, including appropria-
lions. agriculture, war, navy, ETC.,
shall unite In recommending an APP
preparation resolution carrying gen.
eral increases for all the departments.

wives OF Colorado who voluntarily
placed their homes on an absolutely
wheatless basis until harvest from

SPIRIT OF FRANCE
CLOVIS IN SACRIFICE
OF LITTLE CHILDREN.

Much has been told of the spirit
Of France since the war began.
Many heroic things victories,
saerifices, courage beyond belief,
uncomplaining resistance to the
slow agony Of hunger, cold and
personal loss, have developed from
this marvellous, idealistic devo-
ton to their own land.
But listen to this tale, We who
feel abused because your morning
is not as sweet as of yore:
Last winter sugar was scarce in
France, even as it is now, so scarce
that it was and is an almost un-
known luxury to many.
Officials of the Red Cross de-
cided to invite the school children
Of Paris to luncheon. So all the
small folks of the city were gath
cred together and feasted on the
great cups of chocolate which is
their delight, with an ample sup
ply of bread.
Then because candy is no longer
made in France, because the land
of French pastry knows pastry no
more, because there must be sur
prise, q final treat, "bonne
bouche,' each little guest, out Of
the stores of the Red Cross, was
given to eat lump of sugar, one
of the half dominoes of loaf
sugar.
There were smiles of thanks,
grateful words of delighted ap-
probation from these children of
Paris. starved for sweets through
so many weary months.
But then-a pause.
A few of the scores of children ate
their sugar joyously: others looked at
Il longingly: but most OF II was at
once whisked out OF sight. clasped
closely in little hands, slipped into
tiny pockets.
Then came surprised questioninss
from those giving and serving the
luncheon-and whispered. half-shy ex-
plantations in response.
Yes. yes. every one loved sugar.
but" and then II WAS discovered that
each small person had the same
thought, born of the wonderful spirit
Of France. quite without other prompt
ing.
II the sugar were taken home. saved
quite carefully, It might be put into =
tiny box and sent to a soldier, fight
ing at the front for France
We in America now are asked to
eat not more than two pounds Of sugar
. month-which II far more than the
French are settins-in order that We
may send q part Of our usual amount
to our own soldiers in France and that
We may share with these little French
patriots.
