Postmaster General Burleson Is quite
frequently at the capitol. In fact, from
the beginning of the administration ne
has been a sort of legislative agent for
the administration and often tells SEN
ators and representatives what tne
president would like to have done In

time a member of the house or rep

Clothespins make an excellent play
thing for babies. They can be used for
babies or soldiers, or to make fences,
trees. log houses and many other inter-
esting things. Playthings that can be
taken apart and put together again are
good to have; also blocks with which
the child can build all kinds of objects
engines that he can push along the
floor. balls to bounce and throw, doll
carriages. washing sets, etc. Dolls with
clothes that button and unbutton and
come off may be used to teach the chill

selves.

1t would be almost impossible to de-
tail all the changes that have taken
place in Washington since we started
out to exterminate kultur. In common
with the rest of the country, Washing
tonians observe meatleSS days, fuel
less days, etc., but many other things
have happened to jog the one-time
sleepy old town and overturn long-es-
tablished conditions. Soldiers guard
the white house; searchlights brighten
the sky at night; theater seats are at
a premium the telephone and street
car services have fallen down badly
and are just beginning to recover; uni
forms are everywhere (the small boy
has stopped initiating Charlie Chaplin
and now tries to look as much like a
"doughboy" as possible). Also the cap
itol dome, formerly Mecca for sight
seers, is closed. 1t offers too many
temptations as a standing point from
which boche bombers could hurl dyna-
mite down through the glass roofs over
the chambers of senate and house.
The words Of an ancient political
ditty describe the new WdSHlHSCOH
pretty well: "He may get over it, but
he'll never look the same"
One result of the enormously In
creased amount of government bust
ness since war was declared has been
the impossibility Of getting suitable
buildings in which to house the new
bureaus and sections of bureaus of the
war and other departments. The con-
sequence is that these bureaus are
scattered all over town, in all sorts OF
buildings. and in the most unlikely To-
calfties. The structures that have been
Communicated range frpra warehouses
of musty brick to srefe apartment
houses with tiled floors and carved
paneling on the walls. All are filled
with clerks. The agricultural depart
ment in washington is housed in 30
different buildings. and the number
occupied by war department divisions
"a far in excess Of that number

Elihu Root, former senator from
New York, left a good impression IN
the senate and he often receives hign
praise from men who were opposed to
him politically Senator Williams OF
Mississippi was quoting Root, and re-
ferred to him as "the best intellect
that has stood upon the Republican
side of this chamber since my service
in this body" But that did not en-
tirely satisfy him, and he remarked
that he would ego a little bit further
and say the best intellect that has
stood upon either side of the body dur
ing my service in it." There are
great many men who entirely agree
with Williams.

Marcel Hutin in the Echo De Paris,
President Wilson has been informed

The President is quoted as having
made this reply: Only by long years
of repentance can Germany atone for
her crimes and show sincerity. No true
American could think of visiting Ger
many unless forced to do so by strict
official obligations. That is to say |
decline in advance to consider any
suggestion of the kind.

NOTICE TO WATER USERS.

We are much impressed with the in
difference displayed by property own
ers who permit hydrants to run con
stantly and thereby permit an enor-
nous waste of water Considering the
excessive cost to the city OF keeping
the water works in operation, the citi-
that this plant is run at the expense of
the tax payers, and such carelessness
should not be tolerated by property
owners
In view Of the necessity of curtail.
ing expenses in the operation of this
department, we hereby notify all prop
erty owners to make an inspection OF
their hydrants and have them repair
ed at once before freezing weather
comes, and all tenants who know their
hydrants are leaking must report the
same to their landlord and have same
| fixed at once. We expect to make al
inspection within the next few days
The inspector will be supplied with !
wrench and will be instructed TO shV
off all hydrants left running, and the
cost of having the same turned on will
be $100 to each. Please let US have
the cooperation OF all in this matter
relieve us of any further trouble ane
worry.

WILHELM ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
U. S. TELLS BERLIN AND
VIENNA TO STOP SEND
ING NOTES.
WAsHlNeToN. Dec.

WASHINGTON, Dec. o.
Notes were sent to Berlin and
VIENNA by the State Department
today advising the German and
Austrian Governments that the
United States desires to re-
ceive no further communica-
tons from them which should
properly be addressed to all the
Allied nations.
A note Of similar purport prev
ousiy had been dispatched to
the German Government as the
result OF requests that the arms
tice terms be modified.
It was explained at the depart
ment that the notes sent today
through the Swiss and Swedish
legations resulted particularly
from a communication from the
National Council of Lembers
regarding boundary lines, and
also by notes from Austria and
Germany which bore no evidence
of having been similarly com
municated to the governments
associated with the United
States.
The note from the National
Council of Lemhera indicated
that the State of Lemberg desir-
es to establish itself as an indie
pendent community, and said the
activities of the Ukrainians and
Poles were regarded by the PEG
pie of Lemherg with suspicion.
