SOME YOUNG OLD
FOLKS ARE THESE

Yesterday was the S0th birthday
of Uncle Steve Manfull, an esteemed
resident of this city and veteran
of the civil war The old gentleman
is in good health, with mind unim-
paired and good nature unfailing.
The birthday was quietly spent at
home with Aunt Nome, as the whole
city and country too calls Uncle
Steve's wife and long time compan-
ion. In life's sunset glow of both
these good people are seen every
day the gentlest, truest, kidliest
rays of light that any pilgrim could
wish to see to show him on his way.
Smith LaMunyon, venerable res
ident of Salmon seldom seen abroad
in the city but who is still hale and

ness district Wednesday last. He is

a soldier in the great civil war. Now

That was why, it may be guessed
that he walked out last Wednesday
to see the young Salmon soldiers
getting ready to entrain.

Of the Emberses, but didn't have only
one child. and 1t died. and time he got

ey at about as high a n cent. as any
body. Made 1t all just tradtn and
bein careful what he spent Care

;of britches but once in eight years,
and when his old sister that lived with
,em says one day she was bound to
see what the inside the pitcher show
theater looked like just once before
she died, why, old Goodfeld and his
wife says that was the last straw, and
they fixed up and had her hauled of
to live on the county. His wife was
Just the same as him, too.

After the crosses were all pinned

the boys with the Croix de Guerre on

pulled off proud parade, too, on
that hillside. They looked just like

the old khaki made the companies

Senator Watson Of Indiana yester-
day gave notice to the Senate that he
would move to suspend the rules to-
morrow so as to make in order a pro-
posed amendment to the post ONCE ap-
preparation bill for the purpose Of
postponing for one year the operation
of the increased postal rates on second
class mail matter and the establishment
Of zone system.
These increased rates will become
effective July l. unless Congress either
postpones or repeats that part of the
war revenue act of October last pro-
viding for the increase. The news
papers and magazines OF the country
insist that many of them will be ruined
II the increased rates go into effect
while the cost OF all their materials

amendment in order on the appropria-
ton bill.

HOUSE PASSES HOUSING
BILL FROM CONFERENCE
Measure Providing $50, 10000 for
Quarters for War Workers
Voted Without Debate.

The House just before adjournment
last night adopted without debate the
conference report on the $60,0O0.0O0
housing bill to provide quarters for war
workers, which includes $10,O0O,00O for
homes in Washington for government
employees.
The Senate has not yet acted on the
conference report.
When the bill was passed by the
House. Chairman Sherley of the appro-
priations committee put through an
amendment providing that plans for
such buildings, with all details of cost,
must be submitted to the appropria-
tions committee for approval before the
s10.000.000 for the District could be ex-
pended
This amendment was knocked out in
the Senate, and the House conferees
concurred in the elimination of this re-
striction. The House accepted the
change when the conference report
was explained by Chairman Frank
Clark of the House committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds which had
charge of the bill.
