Even the main struc- lures of the department on the Mall, near the Smithsonian Insti- tuition, have never been finished. They consist of two separate build ings constructed of stone five stories high, waiting to be joined together by a main structure. It is this main building that is need ed most, so as to relieve the con gestion in the other quarters. Dur ing the Taft era Congress gave Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, SSO0,000 to erect a building.

WASHINGTON CHAT

1 It is interesting to hear the
 discussions in Congress as to the
 causes that have brought about
 the high cost of living The req
 sons given range all the way from
 the failure to ratify the peace
 treaty, as claimed by the supporters
 of the administration, down through l the imitation of the currency; the
 government price-fixing of wheat i failure to fix prices for fuel and
 clothing; lack of laws to empty i cold storage houses of meat, eggs
 and fowl, and so on. So much
 criticism has been flowing into Congress as to it's failure to ad- just conditions more quickly to
 the public's liking, that many mem
 bers are beginning to believe that Congress is not so much to blame
 for inactivity, after all. The sen-
 timent is growing in Congress that
 what is bothering the people in
 many sections, especially in large
 cities more than anything else, is
 the cost of high living, rather than
 the high cost of living. The claim
 is made that too much money is
 being spent for luxuries, motor cars for pleasure riding, unneces- sary prices for wearing apparel when raiment of more moderate costs would suit as well, etc Circumstances are related in dis sussions in gre:.' nImber. One | Senator told his personal observa- tions in his home city of a work ingman receiving big wage, who upon asking for shirts in a store, was shown one for S2. It was not good enough. Then $6 garment was submitted, but nothing doing. Finally he was shown $I0 shirt and bought three. The Senator .old of paying S6 for pair of shoes he was wearing but that nan in his employ, getting much ess money than the Senator, bought , pair of shoes for S12.50. h. crest is tagging in both Houses in treating measures to reduce living .osts, partly because other busi- less is pressing and again because if apparent indifference. A spec al Senate Committee was appoint d to investigate the cos. of liv- ng conditions in Washington, and lates were set for citizens to at end the hearings, but few ap- 'eared, and the committee dis ,anded Congress is evidently H bout to act upon the idea that t can not do much for the pub ic interest unless the public wants o do something for itself.
 Navy? Why are men fighting shy f enlisting in the service, although he terms of enlistment have been educed to two and three years IS we'll as four, and many other inducements offered.

The Atlantic Fleet has 'een stripped of man-power. Scores if battleships, cruisers, destroyers md other vessels are moored at Iavy yards with crews so greatly educed that in many cases it is and in some cases inn possible, to keep up steam.

 The presentation of a gold sword to General Pershing recalls to old Washingtonians similar oc- casions when heroes have been so honored. The last time a sword was given to an officer in the army was in 1S45, Do Major-General John E. Weel. Admiral Dewey re- ceived a sword for his victory at Manila Bay. General Grant re- ceived the thanks of Congress, but was not given sword, as three were presented to him by different organizations. Grants swords are now on exhibition in the National Museum. Major-General w. T Sherman was twice thanked by Congress during the Civil War. The thanks of Congress, when re- cipitent is named, carries with it the right to privileges on the floor of both Senate and House.

Report Attributed to His Dis.
cusSion of Needs of

TEMPTING OFFERS MADE

Announcement. that John Barrett
director general of the Pan-American
Union, has resigned was premature
and unauthorized. he stated today,
upon his arrival here from an extend
ed trip to various parts Of the coun-
try holding conferences on Pan
American trade matters.
Mr.. Barrett said the report sent
from New Orleans last week that he
had resigned was probably due to a
misunderstanding of what he had said
at a private dinner given in his honor
while attending the annual conven-
ton Of the Associated Advertising
Clubs Of the World. He said that on
that occasion he remarked to those
who were asking about his future
plans that it might be necessary for
him to retire from the Pan American n
Union in the near future in order to
provide a competence for his later
years!
