County Attorney Brown charged In
an information that Clara Smith, of

Reorganization Program of
Republicans Calls for Abo-

Act to Cut Big Waste
Proposals Are Embodied in
Mccormick Bill, a Com
panion of Budget Measure

From The Tribune's Washington Buredu
WASHINGTON, Nov 2G.-One Of
the first acts of the new Republican
Congress when it meets soon after
Senator Harding is inaugurated next
March will be q sweeping reorganiza-
tion of the executive departments of
the Federal government, Republican
leaders Of Congress declared o-day.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts.
Republican leader in the Senate, said
the question of reorganizing the gov
eminent departments and bureaus so
as to eliminate duplication of work
and jurisdiction would be taken up
during the short session that opens
December 6, but that legislation look
ing toward a reorganization would not
be enacted until after March 4.
Senator Lodge made his statement
after the draft of bill providing for
general reorganization of the execu-
tive departments, including the aboli-
tion of one existing department and
the creation of two new departments,
was made public from the office Of
Senator Medill Mccormick, of Illinois.
The Mccormick bill would abolish the
Department of the Interior and estab-
lish new departments of Public Works
and Public Welfare.

women's dress and many other things,
said yesterday he was heartily in favor
Of strict Sunday legislation.
Dr.. Straton differed with DR.. Bowlby
to the extent of favoring a popular
referendum on Sunday laws.
Jacob Rupert, president Of the New
asserted: "All red-blooded Americans s
will combine to oppose the object of
the Lords Day Alliance"
"The effort to stop good, clean
health giving sports is an outrage" he
resumed. ''The first thing we know
they will be driving everybody out of
the United States to some country that
is really free. The United States, no
longer a land of liberty, has become a
land of tyranny, owing to the fanati-
cism of q bunch Of cranks, who are
drunk with the success they attained
in other prohibitve drives. Most of
them don't themselves believe in the
doctrines they preach"
Samuel Rothapfel, of the Capitol
Thcatcr. declared that the effect Of
blue laws on motion picture box Offices
would be minor consideration, beside
the imposition they would be on the
public
In the better class houses" he said,
"thc educational and moral value Of the
films is equal to any found in sermons
A crowd going eagerly to see motion
picture show is surely a moro health
full and progressive spectacle than is a
handful of disgruntled citizens driven
unwillingly to church"
To all Of which Dr.. Bowlby smiles
knowingly and ventures the prediction
that things will come to pass exactly
as the Lords Day Alliance would have
them.

take to reorganize the government de-
partments until we have control Of
them." said Senator Lodge. The Sena-
tor declared, however, that the Nc
Cormick bill would furnish the basis
for a general consideration of the snh-
ject during the short session.
The Mccormick bill will be intro
duced in the Senate soon after Con-
gress meets by a colleague of the
Illinois Senator, who is now in Europe.
1t will be offered as a companion
measure to the budget bill which SEN
ator Mccormick introduced last ses-
sion and which was passed by Congress
and then vetoed by President Wilson.
In addition to abolishing the Interior
Department. the Mccormick bill would
reaus and divisions, including the
Council of National Defense and SINH
lar war emergency organizations.
In general the bill would coordinate
existing agencies, which are now scat
tered among the various executive de-
partments. 1t would strip the Treas
ury and War departments of all work
not Immediately concerned with the
nations finances and the national de-
fcnse.
Departments Included in Bill
The Mccormick bill would bring to-
gether in the new Department Of Pub
lie Works all engineering and building
services Of the government, which now
are scattered among the War, Treas
ury, Navy and Interior departments.
The various existing agencies that
would be brought into the proposed
new department include the General
Land Office, the Geological Survey, the
Bureau of Mines, the Reclaim alton
Service, the National Park Service,
Public Buildings and Grounds, the
Public Roads and Forest Service,
boards of engineers for rivers and har-
bors and the various Alaskan commits
sions.
The Department of Public Welfare
proposed in the Mccormick measure is
similar to the one proposed in a bill
drafted by Senator Kenyon, of Iowa.
Senator Harding during the campaign
advocated the creation of a depart
ment of public welfare that would in
clude the War Risk Insurance Bureau,
the Public Health Service, the Bureau
Of Pensions, the Indian Service, Chill
dren's Bureau, the Nomen's Bureau
the United States Employees Compen-
sation Commission and the Federal
, Board of Vocational Education.

These birds have clever manner
Of cracking nuts. They will wedge
them in the crevices of bark on the
tree and then pick at them with their
bills until the nut is opened. Wood
peckers use their tails for support as
they climb the trunk of tree. but
the nuthatches usually climb with their
head down and their tail pointed to-
