EGG Rolling Was Great Sight

There never was a sight In the city
OF washington of like kind as that
before the eye In the White House
grounds on egg-roiling day. Children
always have gone TO the egg-rolling
fiesta I'm large numbers. but inasmuch
as the celebration has not been held
for some years there was renewed
desire 10 take advantage Of the first
occasion possible.
II win be a month before the White
House gardeners succeed in getting all
the egg shells disentangled from the
grass Of the great White House lawn.
The children were there literally by
the thousands and the eggs by the
tens OF thousands. because not a child
appeared who did not have In his or
her basket at least dozen Easter
eggs. colored with every hue Of a sun
favored springtide.
No one was allowed in the White
House grounds except the children and
their parents or guardians or other
attendants. In other words, no one
could get into the grounds unless he
had 9 child or two In tow.

Consolidation Seems Certain.

II seems certain that all the various
bureaus Of government which have
been trusted with the work of soldier
relief will be speedily consolidated i'm
one bureau. and that scattering work
win be thing of the past. The new
organization will be under the direct
charge of one of the assistant secre-
tarieS Of one of the great departments
of government who will give virtually
his entire time TO the work.
II is not believed today that tho
bureau which grows out of the CON
solidation will be compelled TO look
after the matter Of pensions. There
was an intimation that pensions. Us
such. would be placed under the con
troll of the new organization. but the
belief seems 20 be that such an addi-
ton To the work would cripple the
machinery and delay immediate steps
.or relief Of conditions IS they exist.
IL is not the intention of the Amer
lean Legion 10 recede from its de
mands for permanent hospitals. Mon
ey has been appropriated for new hos
pitfalls. and il is the intention Of the
Legion To stand by its guns In this
matter. although there have been at
tempts TO make il retreat frem its
position.
II may be considered as only a
guess. bat | think il is fairly safe 10
say that before long the public health
service will be In full charge of the
work Of rehabilitating the physically
disabled.
