SECRETARY GLASS ASKS
LARGE APPROPRIATION
Peace Time Activities Of the Govern
ment to Cost Five Times
Pre-War Totals.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The record
billion dollar congresses Of ordinary
peace times faded into the past when
Secretary Glass, presenting the an
nual estimates, proposed appropria-
tons of practically $1,000, 100000 for
conducting the peace time activities
of the government during the fiscal
year 1921. According to these figures
it will cost more than five times as
much to conduct the peace time af-
fairs of government as 1t did in the
year Immediately preceding the world
war.
The greatest individual estimates
for expenditures go to the army and
the navy. The yearly interest on the
war debt is SLOT 100000, which sum
alone is greater than all the appropri-
atoms for all purposes whatsoever OF
any peace time congress
Among the river and harbor esti-
mates for the next fiscal year pre-
sented to congress by Secretary Glass

Apostle Spoons.

Apostle spoons. also called gossip
spoons" were gilt spoons given by the
sponsors Or '.gossips" to a child at it's
christening. They were so called be-
cause each spoon had a figure of an
apostle on the handle. Wealthy peo-
pie gave the whole twelve Apostles;
those of less means and generosity
gave the four Evangelists; while poor
er persons had to be contented with
one, being generally the figure of the
donors or of the child's patron saint.

Roosevelt as a Writer.

In an article on Theodore Roosevelt
in the Yale Review, Henry A. Beers
says of him as writer:
"Mr. Roosevelt produced much ex-
cellent literature, but no masterpieces
like Lincoln's Gettysburg address and
second inaugural. Probably his
sketches of ranch life and of hunting
trips in three continents will be read
longest and will keep their freshness
after the public questions which he
discussed have lost interest and his
historical works have been in part re-
written. In these outdoor papers, be-
sides the thrilling adventure which
they-very modestly-record, there
are even passages Of descriptive beau
ty and chapters of graphic narrative,
like the tale of the pursuit and cap
ture Of the three robbers who stole
the boats on the Missouri river which
belonged to the Roosevelt ranch"

DATES FROM COLONIAL DAYS

try's Earliest Days.

Princess Anne, Nd, as its name sug-
gests, is a town with a history that
goes back to the time when Mary
land was royal colony, ruled by Lord
Baltimore from his great estate at
Dover House.
Naturally, you expect Princess Anne
to be very colonial" in atmosphere.
The railroad station is your first dis

large and substantial brick affair.
But then, railroads are great destroy
ers Of atmosphere anyway. The George
Washington hotel, which is said to
derive it's name from the fact that
the father of his country once spent
the night there, is all, that you could
ask in the way Of an antique, as is
the bus which takes you there.
The most interesting thing about the
George Washington hotel is it's great
staircase, which was built 80 years
lago, and has not been substantially
laltered since. There is one stairway
flor women and one for men. These
differ in that the women's staircase
ihas only one railing, while that for
men has two-which seems to imply
THAT colonial men may have needed

SALARY WORRIES CANDIDATES
INCOME TAX REDUCES PAY OF
CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
Some Presidential Possibilities Feel
That They Cannot Afford to
Accept Nomination.

Washington, July Sit developed
that the action of congress last Febru-
airy in applying the income tax to the
salary of the President, thereby re-
ducing it from $4,000 a year to $49,-
900 year, is likely to have an effect
on both the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates. This is particularly
true, in view Of the increased cost of
living in the White House as well as
elsewhere
In frank conversations with friends
some of the men who are spoken Of
as possibilities for the nomination
have said that they do not know
whether they could afford to accept
the office, in view of the decreased
income and the increased expenditure
required.
For number of years-since the
Roosevelt administration, in fact-the
salary of the President of the United
States has been $4,000 year. Con-
gress raised the amount from $4,000
a year on the ground that a President
should be Independent, not only while
in Office but in his years of retirement
having an opportunity as well of pro-
viding for his family. This continued
until last February, when the new in
come tax law as passed by congress
and approved by the President, made
the President and Federal judges
liable to the payment of the tax. The
result has been that the President s
income was cut down by $4,000 or to
less than it was when the increase
was made from $4,000 to $4,000.
