The Mayors Time.

That was timely word of Emmett
M. Sharon's-and written as a lawyer
too. He sees no reason why the
mayor Of city as big as Davenport
should spend a considerable part OF
his time listening to the troubles Of
the man on Thirty-first street or on
Telegraph road. There are depart.
ment heads who gholld DC vested
with responsibility for matters per-
tanning to their departments, and the
mayor should not have 10 give his
time or expend any neToug energy
on complaints about minor matters,
Nor should he be expected to keep
open house for every one who has
something to- sell to the lily

Someone has suggested eight
things every girl can learn before
she is fifteen. Not every girl can
learn to play or sing or paint well
enough to give pleasure to her
friends, but the following accom-
plishments" are within everybody's
reach: Shut the door, and shut it
softly. Keep your room In tasteful
order. Have an hour for rising and
arise. Learn to make bread as well
as cake. Never let button stay off
twenty-four hours. Always know
where your things are. Never let a
day pass without doing something
to make someone more comfortable.
Never come to breakfast untidily
dressed.

pressed today by Gen. Pershing while
he was inspecting five third army
evacuation hospitals Without doubt
America could not have carried out her

not been for the willingness and eour
age OF the nurses and others who came
to care for sick and wounded in France
and the loyal support of patriotic wom-
en- at home, he said.
Despite the fact that America was
in the war only a comparatively short
time her medical and hospital service
was not excelled by that of any other
warning nation
At each of the hospitals Gen. Perish
ing talked informally 70 nurses, doc
tors and orderhes, telling them of the
important work still to be done in car.
ing for the sick and injured. He talked
to many of the patients and visited
virtually all the. wards of the hospitals

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-An cX-
ira session of congress before June
is believed to be certainty by many
government officials and members of
congress although their predictions are
without the support of evidence 10
show that President Wilson has
changed his determination not to sum
mon congress before his return from
France
Cabinet officers are known to believe
that the session will begin in May,
some expecting the date to be about
the middle Of the month with others
suggesting an earlier date, probably
May ;.
White House officials said today il
reports from Paris that the peace
treaty might be completed next week
proved accurate President Wilson
might return home by the middle OF
April. No information regarding tho
probable date of treaty has been re
ccived at the White House.
Secretary Glass has asked President
Wilson to set aside more than $4,000,
900 from the presidential war emer
gency fund to cover the cost of con
tinued operation OF the War Risk In
surance bureau for the next few month
until congress can remedy its recen
failure to appropriate funds for the bu
reau.
The President has not yet given al
answer and if he does not make tn
money available, the activities of tn
war risk bureau may be greatly eur
tailed
1t was officially stated yesterday tina
the bureau has funds to cover allot
men and allowance checks to be sen
out during the remainder of Mare
and during April. This really near
March allowances, since the checl
arc distributed one month late Unle,
some available funds are found by ca
" in May, allotment and allowan'
checks may be greatly delayed.
Secretary Glass explained yesterds
that although he has not specifcal
recommended early converting of co
gress to deal with the situation, he h
presented "certain facts in rega
to the government 5 financial situati,
from which the President may ma
his own deductions
In this connection it was learn
today that other cabinet members ha
