The big business men who came to
washington to help run affairs during

cWn, which were explained by one of
iIsem about to depart, his work having
Heen finished. He said that when he
arrived lin Washington he met quite
d number of men with whom he had
been more or less associated in bust
ness affairs and was informed by them
that he would meet in Washington
either socialists or stuffed shirts"
This phrase was not elaborated but
the business man went on TO explain
that the average man who came to
Washington generally found himself
up against lot of men with salaries
Of $4,000 or $4,000 year, who were OBJ
structiOniStS. They were the class of
men who had been long in the govern
ment service and they always found
means to block straightforward bust
ness methods; they were the red-tape
artists; they were the men who were
always digging up laws, rules, regula-
tons, precedentS, etc, which would
prove to the active business man that
he could not pursue what he consid-

For several months the house
of Representatives struggled with
water power and water cOnserva
ton bills. Bitter controversies arose
over the subject. Finally it was found
necessary to appoint a special COM
of the committees on interstate and
foreign commerce, agriculture and
public lands, in order that they might
agree upon bill. Then a bill was
sent in by the administration and
after long and tedious debate it was
passed. Another emergency water
power bill was brought up and again
after the consumption of much time
it was passed.
What has become of those bills?
They went to sleep safely and calm
Iy in choice pigeonholes somewhere
in the senate wing of the capitol.
Month after month the senate dawdled
along, holding sessions of few hours,
and adjourning two or three days at
time, but there never seemed to be
any pressure to bring out these water
power conservation bills. AS mat
ter of fact there was enough dynamite
in those bills to have caused discus
sion in the senate lasting a year or
two. The house seems TO have felt
that it performed its duty when it
sent the bills to the senate, and as
the measures were passed the mem
berS thought that it was good rid
dance. These conservation bills which
have been before congress for so many
years might well be under the heading
of wasted efforts in congress-"
Scores of bills have been introduced
in both houses of congress providing
that the uniforms which the enlisted
men of the army have in their pos
session at the time they are mustered
out of the service may be retained by
the men. Under present laws and
regulations the uniforms of enlisted
men must be returned to the nearest
quartermaster within 80 days after
the soldier has been mustered out.
Apparently everybody is in favor of
the proposition to allow these soldiers
to retain their uniforms and the only
thing that is lacking is the legislation.
The senate for several days had
been discussing the buildings on what
is known as the Union Station plaza,
a stretch of ground between the cap
itol and Union station which has
been covered up with lot of hideous-
looking buildings which were to be
used for housing war workers if the
war had continued. One day when
the discussion had been going on for
some time Vice President Marshall
stopped one of the debaters in the
corridor of the senate and remarked:
Il am getting a little tired listening
TO all this debate about these build
ings down on the plaza. What you
ought to do with those buildings is to
make d villa for the vice president.
That would settle it," Tom Marshall
has about as much use for villa as
for pair of roller skates, and this
was one of his little jokes.

There has been quite long discus
sion in the senate on the housing prop
0sitiOn and great deal of criticism of
tke project which covered the large
Onion Station plaza with structures
intended to house the many clerks that
were OvercrOwding Washington. Dur
Ing this criticism Senator Mclean of
CJnnecticut put the fiat question to
Senator Reed of Missouri as to who
was responsible for locating these
Buildings. The Missouri senator, who
ls chairman of the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds, remarked
that perhaps some member of the COM
rdttee could answer that question, and
Senator Hardwick of Georgia, who
had felt the heavy hand of the presi-
cent in his recent contest for the SEN

EidlitZ said that he and some of his
people went around and finally they

marked that he found it generally

that gets unpopular they always some

than half the people of the United States that the presidential tenure limited to two terms. A orty of the people yet think that an post law" is abhorrent the constitution and they are yet that the prohibition not extend to civil cases.
 A few years ago when an income tax law held by the United States supreme to uncon- the influence of entrenched wealth; many democratic newspapers and statesmen said so and doubt many who were not democrats believed it. No doubt that decision contributed to the diseontent which few later manifested itself outburst radical. ism across the country Yet the constitution plainly declared that mo captaton other direct tax shall be laid" unless in proportion the population That prohibition removed by the Sixteenth Amend ment to the constitution under which we have the present income tax law.
 A great deal of information regarding the struc- ture of our government may be gleaned from these twelve lessons and at the same time, a perusal of the eatechism will relieve of great deal of junk which many of us have supposed was information
 The last question in the catechism is:
 Why should the constitution be upheld?"
 "A. Because under it's wise provisions the United States has developed into a great nation of happy and prosperous people; because it contains sacred guarantees of protection for the individual; and be- cause it affords freedom opportunity for every citizen, whether native naturazed American citizenship securely rests upon it's firm foundation

The Flight of the DirigibIe

The safe journeys of the great British dirgible confirms that it is possible fly the Atlantic and it confirms also something else the prevalence oi fierce and almost continual storms and fogs which keep the passengers in constant peril. The world perhaps never had such picture of the prevalence of the 5000 shrieking devils in the air" as the dirigibe brought their violence their constancy
 Hawker in his swift but unfortunate flight had 3 glimpse of them. Read experienced them and so did Aleock in his hurried Sassage The experience of the dirgibe leaves doubt that they are the rule above the Atlantic and that though one may escape disaster disaster is always impending; that though one may escape the storms clutches the storms themselves are unconquerable
 In such circumstances aerial travel over the At lantic never become popular. It is true that we have probably not reached the limit of aerial con- struction. Airplanes and dirigibes may be made more reliable nearly surely reliable as to induce people in great numbers trust them
 It may be well enough for one to risk his life to prove that certain thing may done though that thing is not essential But once proved there is nd good for confirming the proof unless there is prospect that the doing of may become the rule and not the exception and that after all it is bene fcially worth while
 Two airpanes and one dirigible have taken all the cream off of transatlantic aerial navigation.

The Next Heavyweight Match

Four years elapsed between the last two heavy weight championship prize fights. Whether the present title shall be long untested is matter of conjecture. Dempsey will probably "staF' as his predecessor did to retain the championship for he undoubtedly feels greater confidence in his ability to defend it. Also chalengers viewing his effective and almost murderous style, will hesitate a good while before aspiring to the small end of the purse with little prospect of being solaced by the cham ponship as Dempsey was. There is nobody at pres ent clamoring for chance at it.
 Probably the chief obstacle in the way of the next fight will be the difficulty of finding place to stage it. Ohio seems have had enough of that sort of entertainment In other states such cx- hibtons are barred and likely as a result of that patriotic display Toledo, the bars will be put up elsewhere
 Dempsey is yet very young man. In the na- ture of things his virity will increase rather than diminish for years so that will have to be q most extraordinary challenger who would induce great crowds to travel long distance to see him perform in ring with Dempsey Altogether inc chances seem to be against an early meeting of giants.

THE BRIGHTER SIDE

The divorce court gets altogether too much at tention.
 When the couple in neghborhood has quarrel everybody talks about it; little or nothing is ever said about the dozens of couples who do not quarrel
 And quite burst of pessimistic oratory is ex- cited when someone mentions the fact that some thing like ten per cent of marriages do not end happily.
 If only stopped to think of the 90 per cent that do turn out well wouldn't lay much stress upon the other few.
 Why bless your soul! most of humanity stays married when it gets married-and is happy,
 We could fill all the columns of this paper for days without end printing of happy married couples in this city alone
 Just today ran across some wedding anniver- saries which we'd like to call to your attention.
 Now there's MT. and Mrs Everett S. Locke of Lexington, Mass. They celebrated their fifty sixth wedding anniversary Henry H. Lewis and Mrs Lewis of Chicago. celegrated their sixtieth wedding anni- versary So did Mir. and Mrs. Coonius Morse of Georgetown, Mass On the day Mir. and Mrs Pratt of Corte Madeira. Cal. celebrating the seventieth anniversary.
 And that's just a few of the wedding anniversar- ies we read about in one day's news dispatches

In the Role of "Strikebreaker" Fate
 Sets My Feet Toward Happiness

Today I turn to clean page in my | life" I said to myself as 1 dressed the | next morning, little guessing what | wonderful page it would be. l had | planned to take Tommy's advice-a would turn in' my uniform and quit | the job" But in front of the tele- l graph offices I found a great crowd of angry girls They were on strike and I understood for the first time how l had happened to get my job so quickly, without examination, or references, almost without instruction. There was considerable rough-housa in the street, of a verbal nature. None of the strikers dared to lay finger on me as 1 pushed my way, toward the office entrance. But they called me names It astonished me. Calling names had not bee npart of my edu- cation and l wondered what satisfac- tion they got out of it. Evidently. to- be called name and to stand for 1t was a sign of inferiority, in their minds. Nevertheless, I certainly stood for it all-with a smile, But some of | the other workers actually cried be- cause of the names which were heaped upon them, as if it mattered! Both sides seemed so silly! I never said word, nor looked to the right nor the left as I pushed firmly through the | blockade and entered the office. 1 The manager was releasing efn' ployes who wished to go. He made it quite plain that the job was going to be dangerous for a few days.
 But I didn't resign. Maybe I was obstinate, maybe I wanted to show the strikers that 1 couldn't be coerced by
 
 Or perhaps the finger of fate di- rected me.
 Day after day I took my messages and came and went through the crowd. And I think the girls finally looked upon me as both deaf and dumb since not one of the wretched names they could think of made me turn my head They couldn't understand-so finally they gave it up, and watched me sul- lenly and silently as I passed with my messages.
 Truly, I felt relieved for they had stoned Sadie Rantin, a large and ef- ficient girl with varied cabulary who prided herself on giving as good as she got" Sadie was in a hospital waiting for an ear to grow into place.
 Silence marked my appearance ir the vicinity of the office. I took it for peace but it turned out only a truce in which the enemy prepared for more effective battle.
 On the fifth day of the strike, I car ried a message to a factory on the outskirts of the town, near the inter section of the railroad and the boule- yard.
 As I waited for car to take me back to town, something hit me on the arm, hurting me cruelty But I never moved-for I knew that the striker. were watching me-that they had fol lowed me to a place where policemen were few

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

e. How are soundings made to as- certain the depth of the ocean? What is it's greatest depth? D. F. c.
 A. A very fine steel piano wire is used in making ocean soundings. The ocean at its deepest point as far as is known is 31 .614 feet, about six miles deep. This hole in the ocean is near the island of Guam. A wire must be very fine and very strong to support six miles of itself in making these soundings.
 Q. Have outside parties ever pos sessed any interest in Marshall Field and Company of Chicago? R. S. V.
 A. The only persons who have ever owned any stock in this firm outside of the founder are Stanley Field, John G. Shedd, James Simpson and the em- ployees of the firm.
 Q. Which state has the greatest number of holidays? How many have Massachusetts and Rhode Island?
 NJ. M. A.
 A. Louisiana has twelve legal holi- days with addition of each Saturday afternoon, which is the largest number for any state. Massachusetts has nine holidays and Rhode Island ten.
 Q. What is the origin of Dixie as ap- piled to the South? G. A. B.
 A. The term originated in New York where a certain man owned a large number of slaves. When the slaves Weer forced to live in the north they | looked upon their old home as para disc which they celebrated in their | songs. They gradually began to call i their southern home Dixie Land, and, as such the South became known among the whites and negroes. Q. What is the difference between Limited and Incorporated when ap- | piled to business? O. M. A. A limited company is one in which the liability of each share holder is limited to the amount of his stock or share, while an incorporated com pany is one which has been formed into a corporation and recognized by | law as having special functions, rights | duties and liabilities.
