compel the city council to call a spe-
cial election on the question of the
city's participation in the plaza project
had something to do with failure Of
more local firms to participate in the
bidding. The fact that a decision order
ing the election, which the council re-
fused to call months ago after deciding
that a petition for it was insufficient,
would seriously embarrass the city in
its plaza plans is regarded as having
been considered by all firms preparing
submission of a bid upon the bond
issue. Such Il decision, it Is believed,
would constitute a cloud upon the is
sue, and attorneys for the bidder to
whom il is awarded are expected to take
the matter into consideration very care
fully in approving the issue. For this
reason. city officials were very much in

the bids received regarding their being

American Women Lead
in Housekeeping Genius
Lord RiddeU Impressed With Their Ability as
MGnG0eTS

Great Britain has had n far flung empire
for a great many years. nccessitating
the migration of men ana their wives
all over the earth
not SEKEEPING GENIUS
APPEALS TO BRITON.
But leaving affairs Of state aside, what
has stack Lord Riddell the most, and
this will be a surprise 70 many--is what
he termed the housekeeping genius of
the American woman.
Lord Riddeu while here has had pleaty
Of invitations from the innumerable great
establishments in Washington among the
hostesses who have been vieinC with
each other to entertain the social lions
Of the conference. but, as he said, he has
made il n point TO visit in the homes
of what he calls his personal friends
The newspaper correspondents of Wash
ineton.
Thus he has gone into the more mod
est homes, the single little houses which
abound in Washington and the apart
meuts which are increasing every day.
Lord Riddell said he had been struck
with the fact that whereas Il woman in
England whose husband earned say s.. 900

cause servants were so much more plcnr

own menage and runs an automobile.
He has been struck with the good cooking
Of those wives with the cleanliness and
extraordinary good taste Of all their
house furnishings Instead of being eN-
trava CANT. he thought the American
woman was very clever in making the
best use Of the money available Lord
Riddell also was impressed with the
American apartment house because it is
SO light and airy. He thought Amer
lean architects had made immense strides
in that type Of architecture.
In closing he said. and this may be
considered his farewell message.
If the world is to take 70 peace. the
women have got to do It, The men can't
and the men won't. There is no use in
mncing words The men have too mahy
traditions and hoary theories behind
them. The women are coming into world
affairs without those things pulling them
back into the past and binding their
vision into the future.

Some surprise has been occasioned in
congressional circles by the practice OF
several members Of The House in charging
considerable sums for making public
addresses. The practice is not entirely
a new one. but Of late has become more
and more common as members find they
are able TO place a premium upon their
Oratorical ability. Some members who
heretofore Found difficulty in meeting all
requests TO make speeches have met the
problem by replying to such Invitations
with their terms, now that the practice

100000 to 100000 an address, plus ex-
penses.
A recent article by william c. Shep-
herd in a popular magazine is creating
considerable attention here, az il brings
the cost OF armament down to the terms
Of every day life lie says: There are
only five universities in the United States
with endowments as large as the cost

mounted land gun costs 100000 aud one

guns like those just described scattered

United states? They would wipe out
most Of the misery of sickness"
Mr. Shepherd points out that every
citizen pays from - cents to 20 cents
for war purposes, and until the United
States finds some way OF disarming
and getting other nations TO do so. this
daily payment of $780, 600 for war never
will grow less.

II believe Whittelsey was not in his

makeup was inadequate to meet the
double strain he had to face
IF there had not been a war these
men would not have been broken, but in
the last analysis they gave up to in

Don't think for moment they are
