Return OF LanSlnEs
A Pleasing Event.

About the most pleasant event oil
the week was the return of the Lam
sings. 1t did my heart good a week
or two ago when something was saic
casually about when the Lansing,

dog. which has probably a wider dip
lomatic acquaintance, than any PUP
in town; to say nothing of certain old
family servants who are an insti-
tuition in the Lansing household. and
some of them even an inheritance.
The little dog is Mrs. Lansing's con-
slant companion as she motors abou
town, and misses her pathetically
when she is away, spending much
time at the window, apparently watch

l caught a glimpse of Mrs. Lansing
and the Secretary the other evening
In their motor. She looked radiant
very we'll and very pretty. But II
seemed to me that Secretary Lansing
looked rather worn, and as II he was
rather in need OF a vacation. Appar.
emily, however, he has no idea OF TAX
ing one. Mrs. Lansing says they are
absolutely without plans, and have
no idea OF going anywhere this sum-
mer. In fact, they seem to intend

Admitting that they have had a per-
fectly wonderful time. and wouldn't
have missed it for anything, still
they have had enough Of travelling to
last them for some time, and are not
even going up to Henderson Harbor,
where all the family connection is
gathered, as usual, for the summer.
Mrs. Foster TO Go to
Henderson HarbOr.
Mrs. Foster, having welcomed them
back, is planning to go up there next
week. And Misses Kate and Emma
Lansing. Mr.. Lansing's two sisters,
who have done such splendid work
under the banner of the Red Cross in
the nearly two years they have been
abroad, are going to Henderson Har-
Dor as soon as they reach America.
They have not come yet, but are rest
ing at a French seaside resort, to
which they went after rehabilitation.
They are to sail for home about the
middle of August.
Another official traveller recently
returned from overseas il Benedict
Crowell, Assistant Secretary OF War,
who has been abroad chiefly
in England and France, for two or
three months with a commission that
has been holding conferences with
similar commissions In Paris and

commerce. The fact was particularly

and he was not sure that a weekend
on q choppy bay would help him
much. But he had rather set his
heart on a surprise visit to the newly
organized Pacific fleet which was on

Only Family Party

President George Washington that
he had wanted to go into the navy

had ordered things differently. Cert.

VIII Sing Farewell"
Concert on Monday.

Mrs. Baker has been taking rather q
vacation from her constant singing for
soldier organizations and at canton
ments and hospitals for the last two
or three weeks. She has been so busy
getting herself and the children ready
that she has not had time for that sort
of thing, but she has promised to open
an entertainment given by the civilian
and military personnel of the purchase
and storage divisions of the quarter
masters department next Wednesday
night with a group of songs with her
brother, Mr.. Ralph Leopold, as her ac-

where the children could have plenty
OF room to play. and they have been
so entirely well through all the heat
OF Washington summers that their
mother has never felt 1t desirable to
take them away. But this season
they are a bit "peakit." They had
that little dlphtheria furry a few
weeks ago. and while 1t didn't amount
to much as diphtherla, still It pulled
them down. Peggy-"the littlest girl"
in particular, is rather pale and
thin.

usAN DEAR

- USAN DEAR
It's been a week Of thrill
~ Of a sort. At least it started
off that way,-the sort that are un-
comfortably like cold chills. For
while "tea fights" have been known
to have their interesting moments,
take il from me, my dear, when it
comes to real honest-to- goodness
thrills, gun fights put it all over

Have you ever been walking quiet

boulevard. lined with the homes OF
wealth and fashion-said wealth and
fashion, so much OF il as remains in
town, sleeping the sleep Of, perhaps
not the just. but let us say, the we'll
.fed-along toward midnight, and sud-
denly been startled by the clatter of
scurrying feet, and the sharp bark
ing" Of revolvers?
That happened to me on Monday
night on Sixteenth street Jeanne and
I had dined together at one Of the
hotels, and gone to a theater after
ward. 1 had just taken that young
person home. when remembered that
I had checked a wrap and umbrella
and then had forgotten them. I felt
just like little walk, and so, late as
it was, decided to stroll back and
get them. I was miles away men,
tally, when I came to earth with a
jolt A dozen or more sailors and
marines came tearing through I
street from misunderstanding as
they ran.
Like Pack Of Eager
Hunting Hounds.
It was my first experience OF a
man hunt-though I couldn't see
their quarry. and, indeed they lost
him themselves just about then-and
I stood still. thrilled and fascinated,
watching absorbedIy from across the
street just about opposite the quiet,
elegant, unmoved and entirely i'm
movable Hotel Lafayette, on the
green velvet parking OF the Henry
Kirke Porter house. quite unmindful
OF his smiling little signs which I
have always loved-"Please give the
grass a chance!"
Those boys in uniform were a rev.
citation. One couldn't believe that they
were the wholesome, smiling, good
gOuAAB AAuCEACdu men LhaL
have been joking and jostIing their
way through the streets of Wash
ington for the last two years. They
were hounds in full cry, as they ran,
leaning forward, keeping the trail.
Their guns barking sharply, the red
spurts Of flame suggesting red
tongues hanging from the mouths of
an eager, breathless pack. The IL
luEion was complete.
One OF the marines detached him
self from the others and came racing
across the street to reassure me, call
ing to me, breathless, as he an
preached, Don't get excited, Iadv-
it's all eight" and then as he reached
my side, Don't get excited! Don't get
excited" Poor boy, he was fairly

as he ran rings around me adturing
me not to get excited and paying no
attention to assurances or deniaIs.
until 1 finally called his attention to
the fact that I was much less excited
than he was, but admitted being
greatly interested
That was only one OF hundreds Of
such incidents all through the CITY

impressed upon me at the time OF
his departure, when, possibly by way
OF a demonstration, the department
let him get away without certain pa
pers or orders, or something that was
necessary to his happiness, and sent
them after his steamer by aeroplane-
which failed to catch up with the YES

cases where "the experiment fails,
but the principle remains the same"

siastic than he went away as to the
possibilities, and the absolute neces-
sity of developing them to the utmost,

course, he was duly advised-that

Crowell!
Mrs CrOweH Was Here
To Welcome Him.
Mrs. Crowell. who slipped away
from Washington with the children
very soon after her husbands depar-
ture so quietly that one hardly real
ICED that she had gone, and very few
seemed to know where, came back for
a few days to meet and welcome him.
1t seems that they are up at Little
Bears Head for the summer, and as
she had left the two youngsters there
he did not feel that she could stay
way long So she started back on
thursday. taking Mr.. Crowell with
er for the weekend.
Next Thursday Mrs. Baker and her
:hildren are going away. up to Lake
Chautauqua. n. Y, where they will
visit Miss Hannah James Patterson,
OF the Woman's Committee of Ma
tional Defense, who was recently the
Bakers house guest here-and Secre-
tary Baker will probably manage to
go along for the week lend. Mrs.
Baker expects to stay there, with
the children, through August, and
she is hoping Mr.. Baker will be able
to join them for part of the time.
His not having time" she says with
conviction, 'is purely psychological.
He thinks he can't get away, and
so-he can't get away! that's all!"
And she accepts the situation with
wifely philosophy, perhaps realizing
that when he has been alone for a
week or two he will find he has more
time than he thought he had.
For this is the first time since
they came to Washington that Mrs.
Baker and the children have gone
of for any length of time. They
have always lived in the suburbs,

How Cigarettes Fooled A~ustrians.

Lieut.. Roberto de Violini of the Sixth
Alpine corps, one of Italy's famous
fighting forces, has recently come to
the United States on a specia! mission
for his government.
The lieutenant is a forceful and elo-
quent speaker and thoroughly familiar
with the fighting front. He speaks per-
feet English and tells many amusing
as well as thrilling incidents of the
wal in the Alps.
A strategy that was resorted to in
the capture of an Austrian post was
thus described by Lieutenant ViOlini,
according to the Italian-American
News bureau:
'The men lit cigarettes and stuck
them on the barbed wire in front of
the Austrian trenches. Then they
dropped down and made their way to
the flank of the Austrian division.
They found almost no one there, and
practically everybody was in the front
firing at the cigarettes. We took 300
prisoners and machine guns and other
war material whose use we did moi
even know, so inferior were we in the
matter of equipment"

Why Bells Were Placed in Tombs.


The man who invented bells failed to
p%erpetuate his name together with his
harmonious and useful device. A popu.
lar legend credits the invention to
Paulinus, bishop of Nola. But this
does not take account of the fact that
bells We're mentioned in history and
literature centuries before the title of
bishop was known. Cicero refers to
bells rs part of the equipment of Ro-
man baths. They were also used in
the houses of patricians to summon
slaves and servants Inc to gather the
family for dinner, just as they are
used today.
They were used even farther back
in antiquity to keep evil spirits from
the last resting places of the mighty.
1t hes been established, for instance,
that many centuries before Christ the
tomb of Prosema, the great Etruscan
king, was furnished with small bells
on chains, so arranged that they would
tinkle in the slightest breeze and serve
as a perpetual mo trespass" sign to
undesirable alien spirits.

These boys are in many cases doing

Of being q. scoutmaster comes next In
importance to being in active service"
Scouting makes the boy physically

The Bank of North Dakota appar-
emily wasn't given sufficient discrim-
NATIVE favors in the recently-enacted
legislation to make it able to pay out
in competition with private banks.
Now, the newspapers of the state are
being flooded with free advertising
dope by the banks publicity agent.
Private banks pay for their adver-
Using, and are not given equal privi-
lages with the state-owned bank.
That bank certainly has enough ad-
vantages to make it pay enough re-
turns to finance the payroll for all
the political chair-warmers provided
for by it with the additional aid Of
free advertising.
One law takes away large share
of the small newspapers income and
another provides for an institution
that expects unlimited free advertis-
ing from the same newspapers.
Oh well. It's all in the point Of
view.
