HOUSING BILL SUP
FOR SENATE DEBATE
Amendment Adopted to Pre-
vent Communicating of
Private Residences.

The 100000 housing bill was taken
up for consideration by the Senate this
afternoon on motion Of Senator Swan
son of Virginia.
An amendment proposing that the
furnishings in private dwellings shall
not be taken except by contract. and
that no occupied private dwellings
shall be taken by the government un-
less by contract. except where fed
eral judge shall have passed upon the
necessity of taking the dwelling, was
before the Senate.
Senator Fall of New Mexico objected
to granting the right 70 the Secretary
OF Labor to take private dwelling
from one man and turn II over to an
other. as the bill originally proposed.
and he objected to having a federal
Judge substituted for the Secretary Of
Labor in such a transaction
Senator Fall declared that the whole
system of law in this country had been
developed with the understanding that
a mans home was his castle and should
be inviolate. The proposal that the
government should have the right to
turn out man from his home and put
in another II 1T saw fit was entirely
foreign to the principles of this govern

An amendment offered by Senator
hc1ioSS VI &hlHneSOIa was adopted,
which attempts to safeguard the aouse
owner or occupant 1t provides that no
occupied dwelling shall be taken by the
government except by contract unless
the necessity thereof shall be determin-

Demonstration Friday to Be
Followed by Loan Rally
on the EI|ipse.

More than 10000 persons are expected
to be in line when Washington's liberty
loan parade starts UP Pennsylvania ave-
nut. at o'clock Friday afternoon. The
committee in charge Of the parade gave
this as a conservative estimate this morn
Ing as they saw steady stream OF entry
blanks coming into headquarters at 141S
Fl street.
All that Is necessary to take part in the
parade is that you be a subscriber to the
third liberty loan or that you have signi-
fed your intention OF buying bond The
parade will begin forming in side streets
near Peace Monument at / o'clock and
will start up Pennsylvania avenue at 2
o'clock.
At meeting tonight the committee
VIII map out the details of formation
partments and organizations that in
tend to march in body. If you belong
to any organization or department tina t
Is to march in body watch tomorrow g
papers for the place you are to form
in line. There also will be place
designated for individuals.
Don't be on the side lines, be in the
parade. is the slogan Of the committee.
Big Loan Rally at Close.
Whether Washington has subscribed
its quota or not by Friday afternoon,
the parade will end with one Of the
biggest loan rallies yet held in the
Ellipse. There the marchers will dis
band, while the liberty loan committee
is endeavoring to obtain subscriptions.
which it hopes will represent thousands
of dollars worth of bonds.
To hold the attention of the crowd at
the Ellipse, Miss Ruth Law, the daring
aviatrfx. win make two flights after
the arrival of the paraders. A narrow
lane will be roped Off across the rem
ter of the Ellipse into which Miss Law
will descend to greet the throng after
performing thrilling loops over their
heads.
From stand in front of her ma
chine Miss Law will appeal to the
crowds to buy bonds and she will au-
tograph the pledge card Of all who buy
from her.
The committee estimated today that
there will be at least sixteen and pos
sibiy twenty bands of music in the
parade and dozen or more elaborate
floats built by business houses and some
OF the government departments.
IL the day is fair the thousands of
government employees will march in the
white suits they wore in the prepared
ness parade.
Commissioner Louis BrownIow and
Melvin c. Hazen. grand marshal. will
mead the parade and the first contingent
will be the 1872 Washington boys Just
drafted. who are to go into camp in a
few days.
The government departments and
public schools will close at noon and
nearly all stores in the downtown sec
ton will do likewise Ernest l.. Thurs

RAILROAD WORKERS
MAKE $4,000 Saving
Report Shows Southern Pacific
Economies Net Thousands.

II workmen are known by their
chips" Southern Pacific machinists
did a lot of work last year. Twenty
two thousand dollars worth of borings
and turnings from machine tools were
collected and sold In 1917 by Edmund
Burke, material sales agent for the
company.
The fact that a minor waste product
of the shops runs into SO much money
shows how vast are the operations
of the railroad IN its war program of
car and engine construction.
These are but small item in the
total that the Southern Pacific re-
claims from waste material In a year.
In 1917. the sum thus saved amounted
to more than s., 100000.
Under General Storekeeper H. G.
Cook. the store department is con-
stantly at work collecting worn out
articles from all over the Pacific sys-
tenn and assembling them at con-
venient points. Here they are sorted
over, some to be re-distributed, some
to be worked over into other forms
and others to be sold as scrap.
In time of war economy of this
sort not only makes money for the
company, but also eases up the de-
mand on the general market and re-
leases that much new material for
other industries.

sentry in the next traverse would fire

The "plop' would give me a start Of

during my service in the trenches.
I would watch the arc described by
the star shell. and then stare into

Once, out in front OF our wire,
heard a noise and saw dark forms
moving. My rifle was lying across
the sandbagged parapet I reached
for 1t, and was taking aim to fire,
when my mate grasped my arm, and
whispered, Don't fire" He chal-
lenged in a low voice. The reply
came back instantly from the dark
I forms:
shut your blinkin' mouth, you
bloomin' idiot; do you want US 10
click IT from the Boches?"
Later we learned that the word, No
challenging or firing, wiring party
out in front" and been given to the
sentry on our right, but he had failed
to pass 1t down the trench. An officer
had overheard our challenge and the
reply. and Immediately put the Of
Tending sentry under Arrest. The SEN
try clicked twenty-one days on the
wheel, that is, he received twenty
one days Field Punishment, No. /,
or ''crucifixion," as Tommy terms it
This consists of being spread-eagled
on the wheel of a timber two hours a
day for twenty-one days, regardless
of the weather. During this period,
your rations consist OF bully beef, bis
cults, and water.
A few months later met this SEN
try and he confided to me that since
being "crucified," he has never failed
to pass the word down the trench
when so ordered. In view of the Of
fense, the above punishment was very
light, in that failing to pass the word
down trench may mean the loss of
many lives, and the spelling of some
important enterprise in No Mans
Land.
TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW.
