SENATOR CARROLL Small
LEY PAGE (Vt.), it became
known to-day, will retire from
the Senate on the completion Of
his present term, in March, 1923,
and when he does the upper
branch of Congress will lose its
human clock.
Senator Page for thirteen
years as a member of the Senate
has been punctuality personified.
At one minute to noon, the Off
cial meeting time, he always ap-
peared. If the clock over the
Vice-President's rostrum showed
otherwise, the Senate employees
knew it was wrong.
Senator Page is 78, but feels
that when he reaches 80, in 1928,
it will be time to take a rest, or
at least live life that is one Of
more leisure.

THE BEST IN ITS HISTORY.
Two Baths a Week Held
Necessary for Health

Washington, ID. C., sept. 10,
EVERYBODY ought to bathe at
least twice a week in order
to be healthy. The Saturday
night scrubbing is not enough.
This went down in the Govern
ment book as an official rule to-
day advocated by the United
States Bureau of Education,
which has started a nationwide
drive for healthier school chill
dren and teachers.
In addition to frequent bath
ing, the bureau declared the
teeth should be brushed at least
once day; that children should
sleep long hours with windows
open, drink plenty Of milk, but
no coffee or tea, and that they
should play out of doors every
day.
Further-and the prohibition
lists will cheer this rule, which is
set down for everybody--four
glasses Of water a day is a big
benefit to the human system.

New York Herald Bureau,
London, Sept. 10. !
Eamon de Valera, Irish Republica
leader, reversed his usual procedur
to-day. In despatch which he, afte
a meeting with the Dali Eireann Cabi
net, sent to the Prime Minister, Lloy
George, he put his conciliatory state
ment first and the bellicose part sec
ond.
Tonight London is frankly puzzle
whether Mr.. Lloyd George can accep
the Irish Republican reply. 1t doe
not constitute a withdrawal of the sec
ond paragraph Of Mr.. de valera's let
ter of September IL. which Mr.. Lloy
George demanded. but 1t certainly is
softening of the demands made in tina
Objectionable paragraph.
Text of De vaIera's Telegram.
In his telegram to Mr.. Lloyd Georg
Mr.. de Valera said:
"Sir: We have had no thought
at any time Of asking you to ac-
cept any conditions precedent to
conference. We would have
thought ii as unreasonable to ex-
pect you. as a preliminary to rec
ognlze the Irish Republic formally
or informally. as that you should
expect us, formally or informally.
to surrender our national position.
1t is precisely because neither side
accepts the position~of the other
that there Is a dispute at all and
that conference Is necessary to
search for and discuss such ad-
justments as might compose 1t.
"A treaty of accommodation and
association. properly concluded be-
tween the people of these two ISL
ands and between Ireland and the
group OF States in the British
commonwealth would. we believe.
end the dispute forever and enable
the two nations to settle down in
peace. each pursuing its own in
dividual development and con-
tributing rs own quota to civiliza-
tion, but working together in free
and friendly cooperation in affairs
Of agreed common concern.
ITO negotiate such treaty tho
respective representatives Of the
two nations must meet, but IL you
seek to impose preliminary condi-
tons which we must regard as in
volving the surrender of our whole
position. they cannot meet.
Your last telegram makes It
clear that misunderstanding are
more likely to increase than dimin-
ish and the cause OF peace Is more
likely to be retarded than advanced
by the continuance of the pres
ent correspondence.
I'VE request you, therefore. to
state whether your letter Of Sep
tember Z is intended to be a de-
mand for surrender on our part,
or an invitation to a conference
free on both sides and without
prejudice should an agreement not
be reached.
IF the latter. we readily confirm
our acceptance Of the invitation.
and our appointed delegates will
meet your Governments represen-
tatives at any time in the imme-
date future that you Designate

yesterday when Enright took the witt

The commissioners letter to the
Mayor. found by the committee In the
police files. was read into the record
by Elon r. Brown. chief counsel. 1t
never was given out at City Hall.
Mr.. Enright declared that he regarded
II as essential to the proper sdministra-
tion OF the Police Department that the
Commissioner have free hand in maxi
ing all appointments and transfers OF
policemen and executives under him.
That policy had been observed rigidly,
he said. by Mayor Hylan.
Mr.. Brown read over perhaps hum

lice Headquarters recommending" ap-
pointments and transfers. In every case,
as far as shown. these City Hall sug-
gest!ons were followed. 1t was shown
that politicians went to City Hall when
they wanted policeman transferred
and their requests went forward.
The only reason he ever deferred 70
the Mayor regarding appointments. the
Commissioner said. was because of the
economy rule established by the Board
OF Estimate as war measure. This
was that no unnecessary position should
be filled. In every instance where suc;,
reference was made the position was

went there was no economy shown.

The Commissioner had been militant

the couutry's total foreign-bOrn popula-
tion 10 years ago. showed heavy losses IN
the number of their natives in the United
States during the last 10 years, accord
ing to census bureau statistics. These

odus of belligerent nationals, and the
stoppagc of immigration.

loss Of S1S03J, the AuStrian-born a
loss of G0O014, the Irish-born loss of
3I6.371. and the Russian-born loss OF
bob. TS3. While Germany had the larg-
est loss numerically. AuStria's loss was
relatively the largest, having been more
than 80 per cent
Notwithstanding those heavy losses.

tion, as just announced by the bureau
of the census in a preliminary statement
