CAUTIOUS PEACE DELEGATES
BURN WASTE PAPER SCRAPS

Of the writings that went up in smoke
within them.
When the Peace Conference holds
plenary sessions, at which all the del
egates are represented. there is quite
a study Of human nature and its
penchant for a pencil and n pad OF
paper, especially at time when some
one is speaking.
The delegates might easily be taken
for a group of newspaper correspond
ents at national convention, for at
one time or another most of them arc
busy scribbing away on paper. But
when all is said and done. the paper
Is carefully gathered up and heaved
into waiting furnace below.
President Uses Pad.
President Wilson, it is said, has the
habit of drawing lines on his pad OF
paper, and code book would be
necessary to declpher their meanings.
They are straight lines, crooked lines
perpendicular ones and sometimes
criss-cross lines. Secretary Lansing,
however. puts his thoughts down in
the form of pictures, but art will never
know them. for they, too, find their
way into the furnace.
Other delegates scribble away in
practically all languages under the
sun. with the exception of German,
but their hastily improvised thoughts
also go into oblivion through the me-
dunn of a hot fire.
The caution that is taken is said to
be necessary, for as the Peace Con-
ference progresses it would be horri-

In the Family of This Local

the local public schools. His father,
who was employed in the Govern
ment Printing Office for fifty years,

ing, but he returned to Philadel-
phia when young man to learn
the trade thoroughly.
After several years experience IN
the Quaker city, Hodges came back
to Washington and established a
business at 323 Four-and half
street southwest. Later he moved
to 511 Ninth street northwest, and
70 twenty years his present estab-

Saturn and Neptune rule strongly

In the evening Jupiter is in benefic

1t is a sway under which there is
likely to be much questioning OF mo-

Analysis is supposed to be encour-
aged during this configuration which
is supposed to foment discomfort and
to encourage labor troubles.
Saturn gives warning of revolution
ary tendencies that will develop in
many quarters on this side of the
ocean. The seers declare that they
who rule by right of political power
or financial status should take counsel
with leaders of the people.
This is not fortunate day for agri-
cultural interests as damage to GER
tain crops is indicated.
Neptune is in a place read as ex-
ceedingly menacIus for national scren-
ity as there is a prophecy that many
voices will be raised TO accuse. where
ever public men meet.
During this planetary direction
workers in iron and steel are supposed
to be more than commonly susceptible

Mining again appears to be subject
to sinister government of the planets.
The stars that are held TO increase
the desire for overcoming authority

profit sharing or other wage adjust
ments.
Public excitement and high feeling
among the people of many cities are
foreshadowed by the planets.
There is sign read as forecasting
waste of public money and extrav-
agance in governmental affairs, espe-
cially in cities.

Paris. March 25 (by maiD.-What
part does waste paper play in the
Peace Conference?
Judging by the amount of cau-
tion that Is evidenced in everything
pertaining to peace. as exemplified
by the presence of many shrewd de-
tectives whose only duty is to guard
the secrets of shrewder plenipoten-
tiaries. waste paper plays a leading
role in the many little dramas that
are subsidiary to the big show"
staged every afternoon at the Quai
d'Orsay.
Statesmen, IL seems, have the un-
fortunate habit of transcribing on
note paper the thoughts that arise
in their minds when discussion is
in progress. Sometimes their notes
are only scattered sentences, other
times they may be more volumnious,
and when the discussion ceases the
papers Nearing them are generally
crumpled up and tossed into the
nearest waste paper basket. And
this is the time when the detectives
enter the scene.
Paper Is All Burned.
Al the Bfuish UeadquarterS IN the
Hotel Astoria, for instance, is a stand
ing rule pertaining to nothing save the
disposition of waste paper. 1t has to
do with its collection by trusted en-
ployes, the assembling of all baskets
ia one room, careful inspection of all
their contents by other trusted en-
ployes. and finally the cremation of
all the waste paper by employees of
euch antainted character that they
could be trusted with the secrets of
empires
