Sending kilograms at government
expense Is another much abused
privilege. The frank. Of course. is
not intended to be used for other
than official kilograms, but the line
OF demarcation Is so thin that the
government pays for thousands Of
dollars worth OF messages each year
that under a fair construction Of the
rules would be charged TO the per-
sonal account Of members.
Recently the abuse among House
members Of the free telegram" be-
came so manifest that the House
Committee on Accounts had TO take
drastic action TO check It. Some 200
members had messages returned to
them that were plainly personal
business and which had been put in
under the government frankln-
privilege. One member from the
Southwest sent a message seVen feet
lona and charged il to the govern
ment.
There Is apparently little effort 10
keen the size of official kilograms
within bounds Since the Accounts
Committee got busy eliminating per
sonal messages charged TO the gov
-0ment. the telegraph bill of the
House has been reduced from ap-
proNimatoly $4,000 to $4,000 per
month. Instances have been reported
where members have invented
codes" for messages 70 and from
their families to give them the APP
pearance Of official" communica-
tions.
At present there is n situation that
Is causing more concern to mcmberS
than the high cost OF living or any
other question before Congress, and
that Is the inability Of the Govern
ment printing office TO secure news
print paper for speeches. The Gov
ernment prints speeches for Con-
c-ressmen at cost. or,about one-fourth
the regular commercial printing
.ates. Orders from members for
campaign speeches are piling up in
the office of the Public Printer This
is regarded here as one of the graves,
crises that has yet arisen. The cost
Of printing the speeches outside in
the quantities desired is regarded as
prohibitive by the average member.

HOW A LITTLE GIRL
FOUGHT BURGLARS

New York, March 49,
This is the story of a little
girls brave fight against the
two meanest burglars in New
York:
Margaret Hagney, 12
years old, was asleep in her
home in West Twenty-Fifth
street last night when she
was awakened by a noise in
an adjoining room. Her par.
ents being absent, she called
"who's there?", and, receiv-
ing no answer, turned on
light to discover two men
rattling her bank, containing
IS pennies. The men sprang
for the doorway, with the
girl giving chase, screaming
at the top of her voice.
She caught the man with
the bank, meantime, fighting
off his companion, who was
endeavoring to stifle her
screams and finally was
knocked unconscious with a
blow on her forehead with
her own bank.
The men escaped, taking
the bank with them and
neighbors a few moments
later broke into the house
and found Margaret insensi-
BILE on the floor.
She was revived by a hos
pital surgeon and between
sobs was able to give the po-
lice a good description of
her assailants.
