GREAT EXODUS TO
 BALTIMORE MONDAY

Washington, July 3.-(SpeciaI.)- Figures available at the United States railroad ticket office indicate that 30.- 900 people left Washington for Balti- more Monday.
 These Washingtonians, of course, had different purposes in going to Bal timore. It is significant, however, that last Monday and Monday night. Balti- more witnessed the passing from the United States of John Barleycorn.
 The police admit that there is enough liquor stored in Washington to keep the city going for several months.

EXTRA CLERKS PROVE
 EMBARRASSING TO MEMBERS

Washington, July 3.-(Special.)- The extra clerk which the House has made it mandatory on the part of each of it's members to employ constitutes serious problem.
 There was very little discussion some months ago when the memb CTS voted themselves authority to collect from the government $3200 for clerk hire. For the extra money voted could be appropriated to any desirable pur- pose. But later action has played the deuce with best laid plans. Now each member must enlist two clerks and put their names on the roll.
 On account of the lack of accommo- dation. for the members each is given only one office in the House office building. On account of the nece essity of maintaining little libraries, volumin- ous files, bookcases, desks and type writers-as well as mailing lists-there was scarcely room enough for the member and his. secretay. And now there must be, in addition to the mem Der and his secretary. another. Could the secretary and the other indulge a natural propensity to gossip. the House will soon note a marked loss in the efficiency of its membership. There is no intention on the part of all members to carry out the law to it's strictest letter-or such is indicat-
 
 in some instances. relatives will be employed. In other instances, secre- taries, when deserving of such favor, will be permitted to enlist the services of their wives as assistants. In other instances, clerk will be employed to do service as home" It was rumored today that one man had entered into an agreement whereby he would pay a lady $25 the month for the use of her name But this rumor is probably untrue.
 At any rate. the situation is unique, and in individual cases distressing. Harmony which formerly prevailed in certain offices is about to be trans formed into lack Of harmony. For each member will not divide the $3200 just as his neighbor will divide it. Some clerks will think the division should be $200 and $1200; the others will think that fifty-fifty policy should be de- vised.
 At any rate, there is great distress apparent. And the end is not yet.

more difficult to get domestic help and it is next to impossible to keep negro laborers employed steadily. Domestic servants are getting from two to three times the normal wage and with the tn~ creased costs of boarding them 1t is placing servants beyond the reach of peo- pie of average means. Employers of common labor complain that the men they hire work only half the time be- cause they are drawing twice as much pay as ever before and can in some man ner live by working half their time. Meanwhile the loafing places in the city are full of vagrants. Laborers and do- mestic servants seem to have an agree ment among themselves not to work and outside labor that is brought in is soon driven off and the local situation is get ing worse rapidly.
 The tourist travel by automobile which usually falls off in the summer time IS continuing this summer in almost as large a volume as it reached in the fall and spring. Many travellers from the south are going to northern resorts on the mountains and lakes and northern people are going south, principally to the gulf coast.

Mrs. William H. Crane, Wife of Actor, Gives Screen
 Star New MementO.

A new American flag tied in q tiny bowknot, adorns the coat lapel of William Farnum, supplanting the wife of the noted actor gave him four years ago and which MT. Far mum sold last fall for 1000 worth of Liberty bonds.
 At the beginning of the world war Mrs. Crane gave MT. Farnum an American flag, and pinned it on the lapel of his coat. At that time MT. Farnum promised that he would wear it always.
 During the last Liberty Loan cam- paign MT. Farnum was active selling bonds in New York city. At one gathering where he spoke for the loan he became so enthusiastic that he started to auction off some of his wearing apparel After he had sold his collar tie, cuff links and several other articles. somebody in the audi ence suggested that he sell something that had a personal value to him.
 MT. Farnum looked down at the little flag in his buttonhole. Hesi- tating a moment, he said:
 ''I am going to sell something that I hold very dear-tflis little American flag, that was placed on my coat by the wife of one of AmeriCa's great est actors-Mrs. William II. Crane. I promised I would always wear it, but ' am going to sell it tonight to the highest bidder"
 Soon bids were coming thick and fast. and the little flag eventually went for S57,OOO worth of bonds.

George Walsh. the William Fox star. who has been at Palm Beach making a new picture, Help. Help! Policel' which has it's scenes laid among the hotels of the famous re sort, got an insight into the new methods of making maps not long ago when he asccnded in hydroaero- plane with Lieut.. J. E. Fitzpatrick and helped make a map of part of the Florida coast for the Navy Depart ment.
 By q new process of photography, developed b5 army officers during the war. the making of maps has been greatly slmplified.

The camera, however, has made it possible to survey large areas. de- velop the prints and reduce the re- suits to figures within twenty-four hours-and at the same time obtain data much nearer absolute accuracy than by the old method.
 Mr Walsh, who has known Lieu tenant Fitzpatrick since both were students at Georgetown University, spent five hours in the air, flying more than 100 miles both north and south of Palm Beach. Because Of the knowledge of photography which he has gained in his motion picture work. the famous film star was able to be of great assistance to Fitzpat- rick.

To look one's best and feel ones best is to enjoy an inside hath each morning to flush from the system the previous days waste, sour fcTnenta- tens and poisonous toxins b.Lore it is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a. certain amount of incombustible ma terial in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigeStible material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts W hich are intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body.
 If you want to see the glow of he lthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a. glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of wash ings the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, before putting more food in- to the stomach.
 Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples. or pallid com plexior. also those who wake up with d. coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells. acid stom- ach or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking and are assured Of very pronounced re- suits In one or two weeks.

Ray does not know a note on the piano, but, like most actors. he wanted his in1ita- tion to look as real as possible, so for three days before the picture was started he spent an hour watching a man play and took turns at humping the piano in an endeavor to get some harmony out of il.
 When Dunlap began to take the scene he had about thirty people danc- ing an oId-time schottische, but some how Ray found so many dtscordant notes in that piano that the extra people couldn't dance, and the real musicians on the set couldn't play. To get the scene over properly Dunlap ?

NEGRO IS JUST
 BOY, SHE SAYS
Wealthy Mrs. Mott Ex- plains Why She Wrote
 Letter to Chauffeur.

New York. April 9-Mrs. Augusta ant In a S5O,0oo alienation suit brought by Julia King, a negress, was on ths witness stand for two hours yesterday in Justice Wagner's part of the Supreme Court. She tes- tified she had only 8 "motherly af- fection'' for Albert King, her chauf- feur.
 She said he was Hike 9 member of our family, although he is coIored," and added that he was "one of the incest persons you'd ever want to employ" She explained her regard for him by saying he had served her and her husband faithfully for seven years.
 The aged woman was put through a eruelIing cross-exanination by for mer State Senator Edgar T. Bracket, one of the negress' three attorneys. The witness and the lawyer had sev- eral clashes, Mrs. Mott objectng to some of his questions as insulting" Asked regarding her addressing the | chauffeur as My dearest good boy" she said this was the expression of | a lady over sixty years old to a col | cred man, who, although mature in | years, was nothing more than a great big boy. and who had been in our | family for years.
 Mrs Mott explained the letter by l saving King was then out of a j , and that 1t was "the burden of my l life to find him a place The refer l ence to Mrs. Shearer, she saids was 1 regarding letters which the chauffeur mailed to her at that address. i q will confess that perhaps the | letter is foolishly wOrded, but that l there is anything wrong or impure in l it I will never confess she said with | emphasis.

I am afraid she might wonder and could not tell her too much. think the other way safer and more independent.
 Well. dear King, my heart is witf you every minute of the day, and must tell you that I am sad and very lonely I must tell you that l have mostly been liked by fine people. Int

The coal situation in Milford has returned to a pre-war basis in every thing except the price. Of course 1t was not to be expected that the coal barons and dealers would drop the price too suddenly or too much, but now you can get all the coal you want with making a diagram of your coal cellar and a survey of the amount you have on hand. Both of the Mil ford coal dealers have done well by their customers during the war times and by very great effort on their part were able to see tha1 every one had some coal all of the time.
