EGG CRATES IN
STRANGE HOUSE
SUPPLY REPORT.
Congressman Also Evidently
Use Alarm Clocks and
Baby Rings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The needs Of
der puff boxes and metal eggs crates on
up to mahogany desks.
The annual report Of the clerk Of the
House of Representatives shows a wide
variety of expenditures from the con-
tingent fund of the House. No record
is given to show for whom the exPendi-
lures were made or whether the expendi-
lures were reimbursed, although, of
course, it must be presumed that they
were.
Some of the contingent fund expendi-
lures were as follows. One box party.
invitations, As cents; one dozen No.
Hornet cards, S2.75; manicure set No
CD7S97, $40; two From Ne to You'S
calendars, SLIGO; one puff box, $3.50;
three twO-dOzen metal egg crates, 500;
one thermos bottle, 1920; two Some
One Like You" books, 81; one jewel case.
$3.50; one watch bracelet, $3.50; one
baby ring, $3.50; one silver locket, $3.50.
ALARM CLOCKS
REASONABLE NEED.
Evidently Congress found It difficult
to awaken last winter, for the report
shows that on March 16 twelve alarm
clocks were purchased for S21, and this
another purchase Of twenty-four more
alarm clocks.
One warm August day, the report
shows, it became necessary to purchase
one 'ice blanket
The refurnishing of the clerks office
cost considerable, for there were two
rugs purchased at q cost Of S50T, but
that was a minor expenditure compared
to the $1,2S3.2 % spent for a rug for the
House lobby. The majority leaders room
got a rug at a cost Of $410.10.
At least Congress keeps clean, for
twelve dozen bath towels were purchased
for S126 And when Congress bathes it
is an affair of luxury that rivals the
baths of famous old Egyptian queens, for
the report shows that on July IL eight
bars of soap at S1.50 a bar and ten bars
Of soap at 81 a bar were bought
Nearly every voter must have received
a Christmas card, for the report shows
that huge numbers Of Christmas cards
were purchased from the contingent
fund.
The high cost OF speaking is reflected
in the report. congressman mail their
speeches to their constituents and expert
folders are hired to prepare the
speeches for mailing. Fifteen pages OF
the report are filed with expenditures
for folding speeches, fair example or
these expenditures being a payment OF
1924 80 to Arthur 7. McAvoy for folding
12S,0O0 speeches during March, 1920. On
June % there was paid out $1,000 for
six barrels of paste using In mailing
speeches.
When a member OF Congress dies It .iss
also costly. The report shows that it Isl
customary to spend $3.50 for a casket forl
1 ,, 0M
the burial party run rather high.
Investigations cost Congress a great
deal. Representative James A. Frear re-
| ceived $500 for expenses incidental to
a trip made by a subcommittee investi-
eating aviation between Aug. 10 and Oct.
1. 1919. This was one of hundreds OF
expense bills paid for members Of in
vestigating committees and special in
vestigatOrs.
A perusal Of the report IS convincing
that the cost Of legislation comes high.

Dog Pines to Death
for Missing Master

ALTOONA. Pa, ian - -"Sheppy," the
shepherd dog that for ten years had
made its home at the Blair County jail
at Hollidaysburg, is dead Of a broken
heart. He pinned away for his master,
former Warden John V. Riddle.
When Riddles term as warden expired
he moved to his farm In Turkey Valley
to be succeeded by william Re!fsteck.
Riddle took "Sheppy" to the Jail ten
years ago. The dog had not been the
same since his old master left. He
searched all over the Jail for Riddle and
whined piteously. 1t was thought he
would strike up new friendship with
the new warden, but he did not. And a
few days ago "Sheppy' was found dead.

Market yesterday was again a rather
untnteresting affair; the commission
house business was unimportant and
professional operations were mainly on
the selling side.
Values tended downward, which is not
at all surprising, considering the wait
ing attitude of the public, the absence of
support from this source and the uncer-
tainty created in Europe.
From business circles the reports, while
indicating improvement here and there,
are not particularly encouraging. The
leading catalOg houses report a very
heavy decrease in sales for the last
month.
Several prominent economic students
claim that further declines of commodity
prices are more than likely. The review
by the Iron Age is not very favAra BILE,
showing an important decline during
January of pig iron production, which
forecasts smaller output Of steel and
iron, while money has again hardened
and prevailing rates discouraging opera
lions on the long side.

COlOred Cigarettes
LOndOn's Next Craze

LONDON, Feb. 3.-London's next craze
may be co1ored cigarettes!
A few of the fashionable and more ex-
pensIve tobacconists are exhibiting them,
but as the price is nearly prohibitive, 1t
is certain that only the well to-dO smoker
will be able to afford them.
The cigarettes are of many colors, some
are yellow, some purple, some red, some
green, and altogether they look like the
side Of eamoufaged ship. All the cigar
ettas have silver moukhpiaces.
