Committee of thirty-five members

priations now handled by eight diff
ferent committees will be begun in
as the first important
step toward budgetary reform. Ac-
cording to information obtained

tions Committee. the new commit

ness organization Of the House was
authorized by a change in the rules
adopted just before Congress ad-
journed and at the time that the
budget bill was passed. Although
the President vetoed the budget bill,
his action does not hinder the re-
organization Of the House commit
tee. 1t was said ,--.:
= Tne budget bin probably will be-
come a law as soon as the new
Republican administration comes
into power. In the meantime. 1t was
stated. the House can make a start
with the reform In mind.
The first work OF the House Ap-
propriations Committee for the COM
ing session will begin on Monday
when a subcommittee will meet to
take up the legislative. executive
and judicial bill. II was pointed
out that the old committee will con-
tinue to function as of yore fol
a considerable period, during which
the new system viii be inaugurated
At present appropriations are rec
commended by the following eight
different committees of the House

LOST HOLIDAY
ROUSESCADETS
I'll Feeling Rife at Annapolis
Thanksgiving Day
Restrictions.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 1o.-Dis-
content is widespread among mid
shipmen Of the three upper classes
at the Naval Academy because Of
the provisions of the Thanksgiving
holiday order which has just been
promulgated before the regiment.
Not only will they be deprived OF
leave to visit friends, in the city on
the actual day of holiday, but they
will have only about half as much
liberty as the members of the
'"plebe" or lower class.
The order appears to have been
framed in line with the drastic ac-
tion taken by Rear Admiral A. Il.
Scales following the recent outbreak
Of hazing. Stringent measures have
been taken to keep the upper class
men segregated from the .plebes" IN
every particular. Here are the pro-
visions Of the order that has brouEht
about the feeling. =
Leave to visit Annapolis ana on
GERS quarters in the Academy
grounds will be granted as follows:
First, to all midshipmen OF the ffrst.
second and third classes not under
restriction on Wednesday, November
"a. from $40 p. m. to $50 y. m.
Second. to all midshipmen Of the
fourth class. not under restriction.
from Immediately after breakfast
on Thursday, November rs. until
evening roll call.
Third, leave to visit ofiicers' quar-
ters in the Academy grounds to all
midshipmen of the first. second and
third classes, not under restriction,
on Thursday, November IS. from i'm
mediately after breakfast until even
ing roll call" '-s
In previous years the middies have
been extended leave for the whole OF
Thanksgiving Day and eve. Those
under restriction have been granted
certain liberties about the grounds
on the holiday.

BERLIN, Nov. lois there any
American who aspires to the dis

Archduke Leopold Ferdinand -
who would be next in line for the
Austrian throne should Otto, eldest
son of Emperor Charles, die-is
looking for a job. He speaks six
languages fiuently. including Eng
lish, and because of that, in a let
ter to an American. thinks he would
be well qualified as head porter in
a hotel or As a valet, or chauffeur,
OF travelling companion. He Is mod
est in appraising his own value,
but thinks he ought to be worth a
of IS a day to someone.
At present he is writing for d
Berlin paper. and is disclosing much
of the inner life of the Hapsburgs.
He writes under the name of Leo
pold Woelfng. As his present job
will soon be at an end, he Is look
ing for another. Since the Austrian
government Is undecided about con-
tinuing. paying him his small PEN
sion, even IL 1t should continue pay
ing him. the sum in Austrian
crowns Is so small in buying value
that 1t will not buy him any meals.
The archduke was formerly a naval

Reports of Sweeping De-
crease Branded as Absurd
By Dealers Here.

There have been slight reductions
in the prices OF shoes during the
past three months and there may be
further reductions from time to time
as retailers here are warranted to
make them. but dispatches which
have been printed from other cities
that all classes of shoes will drop IS
q pair are absurd
This is the consensus Of opinion
among the largest shoe merchants
Of Washington.
All Of the local shoe retailers are
agreed that there never will be a re-
cession of prices back TO the pre-
war level. They explain that the
public should not expect this as they
would not want wages to slump TO
where they were when IL was pos
sible to nanufscture footwear a.

Andrew Betz. manager OF the Ed

predicted that the prices manufac-
turers are quoting todav are as low
as they will be four months from
now.
Harry s. Wolf. president OF the
Walk Over Shoe Shop. pointed out
that isolated examples of seemingly
sweeping reductions in the prices
Of low-grade shoes should not be
taken by the public as an indica-
tion that the bottom has fallen out

tones for use in the schools. A
number of sample bells were dis
played in the office OF the secretary

They have all the different tones
required to give a genuine Swiss

Center Services

For the present the Sunday
school only is held at Center. After
this month it is probable that
much more time will be given to
this place, and preaching will
again be a regular Sabbath serv-
ice. 1t is noticed that there is a
falling off of attendance since
preaching has been omitted. This
ought not to be. The Sunday
school service is the most import
ant service Of the church. Parents
do their community as well as
their families great injustice to
neglect the Sunday chool institu-
ton. Let all rally again next
Sunday. School takes up at three
O'Clock.
