Of the penitential season. The week

are filling with family parties who
have arranged to remain until after

Spending proclivities Of the crowds
of visitors have caused something of
a famine in Boardwalk shops and
caused q tremendous demand for new
stores. Work is being rushed on a
new row Of stores in front of Haddon
Hall, and foundations were laid this
week for another tier of shops, in front
Z the Hotel Brighton and connected
With the Casino. Rolling chair mag
,ates have taken their summer stock

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The ar
rival of Mrs., cambridge Colby, wife Of
the recently nominated Secretary Of
State, is awaited with no little interest
by Washington society. Mr.. Colby has
taken an apartment at the Wardman
Park Hotel, but Mrs. Colby will not
come to Washington, unless possibly
for the purpose of fshouse-hunting. until
the Senate confirms her husbands
nomination. However, it is probable
that the fight in the Senate-wiseacres
all predict fight-will be over and
the Colbys duly established in the capi-
tai before the "little season." which
begins with Easter and which is only
less important than "the Season.
with a capital S-between January l
and Ash Wednesday.
The Colbys are not strangers to
Washington, having made this city
their home while Mr.. Colby was con-
nected with the Shipping Board. They
occupied the house at 2618 Connecticut
Avenue, just beyond the Connecticut
Avenue bridge and overlooking Rock
Creek Park, and had the Secretary to
IHC iCSiNSite oiId @sAA Dc cSoS2H
Tumulty as their near neighbors. Even
at this time, however, Mr.. and Mrs.
Colby were away much of the time and
nobody in Washington seems to be
very we'll acquainted or to be able to
contribute much to the sum of knowl-
edge about her. She formerly was Miss
Nathalie Sedgwick and is a member Of
the Massachusetts Sedgwick family
from around Stockbridge. who have a
record of achievement in literature as
we'll as along other lines. Mr.. and Mrs.
Colby have three daughters, Miss
Katherine Sedgwick Colby, Miss Natha-
lie Sedgwick Colby and Miss Frances
cambridge Colby.
Changes Expected in Department
Mr.. Colby's arrival at the State De-
partment undoubtedly will be followed
fly fairly complete reorganization.
Frank Lyon Polk, Assistant Secretary
of State and at present Acting Secre-
tary, has announced that he will stay on
"to be useful" but it is known that he
is desirous Of retiring to private life.
William Phillips, until recently AS
sistant Secretary Of State, has been
appointed American Minister to The
Netherlands, and the third Assistant
Secretary of State, Breckinridge Long,
has announced that he is candidate
for the Senate to succeed Senator Sell
den P. Spencer, of Missouri. On the
other hand, Alvey A. Adee, second As
: sistant Secretary Of State, is regarded
as permanent. Administrations come
and administrations go, but Mr.. Adee
goes on forever. He probably knows
more about diplomatic procedure and
precedent than any man in the United
States.

ties. There are hundreds of thousands

the price of gasoline advances the cost of
transporting goods will be increased and
YOU will have TO pay it in the higher
price YOU pay for eggs, for milk, for
beef, for vegetables. for moving your
household goods; for anything and
everything you eat or use, for directly
or indirectly it will be in the bill the
general public has to pay.
\ waste of ne-half gallon of gasoline
per passenger ear per day means l,095,
100000 gallons a year. Wow!
One gallon of gasoline will provide the
energy to move one-ton truck Il miles
or, to put it another way, it will move
l. tons of freight one mile If the users
of passenger cars would save the one
half gallon a day they waste it would
equal 1926 100000 ton miles of haul.
Economy in gasoline means more than
the general public appreciates. More oil
is being used today than is being pro-
duced. That means the reserve stocks
are being drawn upon. Curtailment of
waste is imperative. 1t rests with users
of gasoline to do voluntarily what other
wise they inevitably will be forced to do.

Ira Allen, Vermonter.
Boston Transcript

The gift to the University of Vermont
of statue of Ira Allen has been an
nounced. Outside of Vermont, Ira Allen
is not so well known as his ferocious
brother Ethan, that irrepressble Green
Mountain Boy whose name is forever as
sociated with the resounding word Ticon-
deroga. But in Vermont they really
think quite as much of Ira, who was a
constructive statesman, as they do of
Ethan. He it was who is said to have
been the first proposer of the University
of Vermont, and he spent much thought
upon the upbuilding of that institution
which probably supplies the people of
Vermont with more university per capita
than any other state in the union pos
sesses. There was very curious and
salient incident in the career of Ira
Allen which will not detract from his
honor among considerable element in
the state of Vermont. In the year 1875
when anti British feeling ran pretty
high, he was the senior ma jor general OF
the militia of Vermont, and went to
France and purchased a quantity OF
arms, presumably for the use of the
state, but on his return voyage he was
seized by the British and the high seas
and carried to England on a charge OF
, furnishing arms to the Irish rebels
Against this persecution he had to con
tend for eight years, and after that time
the British Court of Admiralty rendered
decision in his favor. In 1913 he went
TO France and was imprisoned there
the relations between the United State,
| and France having developed into opeI

to Vermont. Ira was bluff and rough
and ready man, but rather more polishe,
than his elder brother Ethan Ethal
Allen, by the way, already has his statu
at Burlington-an equestrian one, whie
in the days of the fame of the trottin
horse Ethan Allen" used to be take
by western tourists for a monument t
that speedy animal.
